Hygienic Frauds.

The teaching of hygiene is in itself so
laudable an object that it is with some
reluctance that we draw attention TO the
fact that this subject is apt to be taken
as a text by wandering lecturers, who
use it as a means of ;ptroducing u great
deal of most Objectionable teaching.
Women who in no other way could get
a hearing find that by advertising y
course of lectures on hygiene they can
draw together 4 wealthy and influential
audience and, having once caught their
ears, can terrify them with sham patho>
logical horrors regarding the repro
ductive organs.
The lady lecturer, armed as she may
be with some American diploma or de-
gree, is often only a she-wolf in sleeps

New York, May 3l.-The decision OF
Judge HaZelrigg of the appellate divi,

accident insurance companies are liable
for injuries o 4 death resulting from
mosquito bites, is giving the accident
companies some uneasinesS and it Is
probable that in future the policies will

this character. Judge Hazelrigg's de-
cislon was. in substance, to the effect
that a mosquito bite was sufficient evil
dence for the full amount OF the acct
ent policy to be paid. and gave $4,000.
the amount sued for, to the heirs of a.
mar who was insured in the United
States Mutual association.
When the news of the decision
reached New York it caused a furry in
accident insurance circles. The acct
dent companies do a big business in
New Jersey and the prospect of having
to pay $25 Il week every time a Jersey
man is bitten by a mosquito o not
impress the average insurance mar as
a fair proposition.
Bicycles keep us broke said the sec
rotary of a leading company. and now,
IL We are to be held responsible for mos
| quitoes, we might just as Well quit the
business.
The company in revising its policies
will enumerate the accidents against
which the purchaser of a policy ma
take out insurance. The mosquito, gar

erous things of like character viii be

their machines until long and oft repeated

Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left to the Right Hand Binder.
1t has been said that the conveniences
of one age become the necessities of the
next: but no ordinarily sane man will
contend that the necessities of one age
should become the Inconvenience of the
next. When binding was done by hand
the left hand cut harvester was n neccs-
sity. The grain fell on the platform of
the harvester and was delivered into the
receiver with its heads towards the rear
of the machine. The men stood in the re-

hand machine the heads of the grain are
