WOMEN AND INSURANCE.
They Arc Just as Safe and Profitable
Risks as Men.

ms Men.
DR.. Clara Bliss Finley, of Washington,
is daughter of the late DR.. Bliss, one
of the surgeons in charge of Gen. Gar
fields case. DR.. Finley quoted the fol-
lowing statistics before convention of
insurance underwriters. She says the
claim made by insurance companies
that women between given ages are not
as safe risks rs men is at variance with
statistics of the census, hospitals and
infrmaries. More male than female
children are born and more men than
women die between the ages of Is and
As. One physicians so years expert
ence showed a total of 1920 boys and
3,1S6 girls born. In England and Wales
women live about one year longer than
men. In London two or three years are
in the women's favor. In the census of
1870 the percentage of deaths per 1000
was: Male, 1892; female, 20.72. Our
tween the ages of IS and As, men, 49,
SIS; women, 63,100. Of our immigrants
between these ages, men, 1,210,583;
women, 674, 16O. More men than women
die of nervous diseases. DIR. Finley adj
mits that the books of insurance com
panies show that more insured women
than men die. She reported interviews
with IL managers of large insurance
companies who, when asked if they re-
garded women as safe risks as men, re-
Piled: Eyes, if women had as rigid

UMBRELLAS AND CHARACTER.
Feminine Dispositions Revealed by
Methods of Handling Them.

Feminine Dispositions Revealed ~
Methods of Handling Them.
Two men who sat near the window Of
. downtown hotel a few days ago whiled
away the time by watching the women
go by and commenting on their umbrel-
las.
The storm had abated about an hour
before and the sun had peered through
| q rift in the clouds, but for all that the
first pedestrian went stalking past with
her umbrella still held aloft.
THAT woman" said one Of the men,
sis as patient as Job. She is not a stu
dent, absent-mindedly porting over book
lore, but a housekeeper who is so taken
up with thoughts of what she is going
to get for supper that she doesn't know
it has stopped raining. People who for
get to lower their umbrellas when the
sun begins to shine always are. That
girl just behind her who has already
taken time to fold her umbrella neat
ly, even though it is soaking wet, is
going to be an old maid. She is narrow
minded, too. The next one has bound
the folds down, but it looks uneven and
bullying. That woman's children will
always look dowdy, but she will nurse
them successfully through innnmerable
attacks of Group and rash, and no fam
lily in town will have better things to
eat.
THAT short woman with her UNI
brella Hopping this way and that win al
ways be poor, because she will give
away everything as soon as she gets
it. Hers isn't altogether a commend
able generosity, either, for 1t is caused
more by lack of power to say no than
by an inherent desire to help her fell
low-creatures. That dark woman with
the tip of her umbrella trailing down
ward and backward at an angle of As
degrees is malicious. I wouldn't trust
her out of my sight. She'd say some
thing mean about me the first chance
she got. The one who carries her UNI
brella swung carelessly over her shout
der is happy go-lucky individual who
will always have good time, not be-
cause she earns it, but because the
world owes it to her, and she is going
to have her rights.
do you see that woman who holds
her umbrella at right angles to her
body and sticks the sharp point ahead
like a bayonet? She's one of Che kind
that sets the world afire. She has more
energy in minute than most people
have in year. A woman who swings
her umbrella as she walks IS prone
to illy-dally-she never knows her own
mind, and no difference how well she
may pretend to like q person., if an
other speaks i'll of him in HIS absence
she will generally side in with the
calumniator. At any rete she will say
nothing in his defense. She who trails
her umbrella along in her wake Is I'M
tidy and inclined toward low princi-
plies. The one that holds the stick up
right and keeps tapping it on the pave
ment every little while is good person
10 tie to; she has strength and honesty.
There comes a woman carrying her
umbrella under her arm. She's my wife
and won't say anything about her,"
His companion looked at the little
mans wrinkled, perpiexed face and
smiled. He fancied he knew what the
verdict would have been had the wom-
an only been somebody else.-Chicago

FOOD AND BEAUTY.
What the Seeker After Rosy Cheeks
Should Eat.

What the Seeker After Rosy Cheeks
Should Eat.
She may fill whole cupboard with
lotions and spend half of her time in the
identifying bath tub, but success will
not crown the efforts of the seeker
after beauty unless she turns her atten-
ton also to her diet list. Clear COM
plexions do not wait on the tickle, nor
rosy cheeks on the morning griddls
cake.
The woman who intends to have good
complexion must make a careful study
of the food question. 1t goes without
saying that sugary substances must be
banished from the bill of fare. Candies
are, of course, excluded. Cakes follow
in their wake. AS for pies and all other
compounds of -four and grease, they are
fatal to clear skins. Bread that is
doughty or starchy ranks almost as low
as pastry in the estimation of the seek
er after good looks.
Alcoholic drinks are banished almost
entirely; their effect, even in small
quantities, being a mild form of con-
gestion of blood in the face, which
as ruins the color Of the skin. For some
what similar reasons all sorts of mar
cotics and stimulants are to be avoided.
Whatever eXcites the nerves or over
heats the blood tends toward the final
destruction of the smooth, peachy tex
ture which is the chief of every wom-
ans ambition to attain.
Whatever has the effect of producing
healthy action of the digestive or
gans is good for the complexion. Acid
and laxative fruits especially, if taken
at breakfast, are good. Graham bread
and toast rank high among the bread
beautifiers. Red and juicy meats, green
vegetables, milk and eggs, are all cons
ducive to the attaining of brilliant
complexion. - St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

when our American colleges took up

measurements of the human body, limb

In making the measurements the

Special instruments are made to test
