the truth when l tell you that the premium
is cheaper than any cooperative or assess
ment company that l have knowledge of,
that has been In business ten years or more,
and when we take into account the number
of failures that have occurred in assessment
companies, and almost without exception
the increasing price from year to year, why

They Wear Big Hats.

At Anam, an empire occupying the
eastern ortion of the lndo Chinese
pen ula. with population of l5,OOO,-
Geo. men and women wear tho r halr IN
the ,ame way and dress alike, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat
Like the man, the woman wears the
tprban. long tunc, wide, loose trouS'
crs and fright sash, the ends falling
below the knees. The phySiognomy is
almost the same, as the men arc beard
loss and have the hair done up like the
women
The only clue to distinguish them is
the earrings and finger rings, worn by
women only. The earrings are like
double shirt studs, and among the lower
orders are Of colOrcd glass.
The wives and daughters Of manda-
rims alone are allowed TO wear gold jew
elry. The rings are of spiral wire, nit
ting tight and standing out to some
height Some women Of the upper class
wear also necklaces of strings of gold or
silver beads.
Tho hat of tho woman is monumental.
It is like a large Oarrel cover, three
quarters of yard in diameter. Six or
seven silk cords as thick as a Quill are
fastened on each side, and when worn
fail down below the wal t.
Where the ends arc fastened to the
hat on each side is huge black or
brown silk tasscl. SOme of these hats
are arti>ucal made of carefully select
cd palm leave; and lined with neatly
plated flag leaves. These arc expen-
,ive, especially when they have chiscled
silver clasps at the taSselS
Many women IA ten little round
