INSURANCE AGAINST ILLNESS.
People Now Able to Prepare for Attacks

People Now Able to Prepare for Attacks
of Contagious Disease.
The newest thing in personal insur-
ance, so far rs this country is concerned,
is insurance against sickness. Such
insurance has been furnished in Eng
land and on the continent for some
time, and in Germany, where the
blessings of a paternal government
are enjoyed to the fullest extent, it
was recently announced that all heads
of families engaged in wage-earning
would be compelled to take oht insur-
ance against illness.
Insurance Of this kind has been fur
nished in this country for some time
on small scale by mutual organiza-
tions, but it was not until last sum-
mer that it was taken up by any we'll
established company.
There are said to be only two COM
panies at present prepared to write
policies OF insurance against illness.
This is included with regular accident
insurance, and there is combination
policy offered by which for a small ad-
ditional payment the insurance against
illness is secured.
A person so insured may receive
1876 week if he suffers from "typhus
fever, typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
smallpox, varioloid, diphtheria, mea,
sles, or Asiatic cholera, and such ill.
ness shall, independently of all other
causes, continuously and wholly dis
able and prevent the insured from per
forming any and every kind of dut,
pertaining to his occupation. The
limit of indemnity is fixed at twenty
six weeks. All the diseases mentioned
are of contagious character, and NJ
attempt has been made as yet to in
sure against any others. SO.
Insurance men who are interested
in this subject are watching with in
terest to see how the new idea takes,
and some of them say it is probabl,
that the list of diseases which o per
son can become insured against viii
soon be heightened.
1t will be noted that one importan
contagious disease, yellow fever is no
named in the list, but the chances O
being attacked with yellow fever i
this part of the country are so smal
that its omission is not q matter Q
great importance to New Workers. =

The Return of the shirt Waist.

Shirt waists of plain, solid color are
varied with bands of embroidered in

A woman notary public in Denver,
Col. was married recently, and the ques-
ton arose as to what name she should
sign in her official capacity. The mat
ter was referred to the attorney gen
eral of the state, and he has furnished
an opinion that there is no authority
of law for women in Colorado to drop
their maiden names in the event of
marriage. She must, therefore, sign
all documents as before marriage, be-
cause there is no authority for a
change Of name at marriage OF any

The most popular sofa pillows iust
now are those that bear upon them
some trace of the Stars and Stripes.
Large hammock and piazza pillows
are made of actual flags, and less ag-
gressive ones have white stars on a
blue ground, the reverse side of the
cushion being of red and white
stripes. Sometimes pair of tiny
flags are crossed and embroidered in
one corner. 1t is trial to aesthetic
tastes that the colors of our flag are
so pronounced, but the artistic faculty
gives way to patriotic sentiment, and
the American flag is emphatically the
decorative vogue of the moment.

A Woman Baker.

There is a woman now in New York
who has bad most serious misfortunes,
and yet has shown rare perseverance
and energy at the critical moment.
Only short time ago she and her
husband lived in a comfortable home
in western city. They owned the
property and had been moderately
well-to-do. But the husband died very
suddenly. Then the insurance on the
house gave out, and soon the widow
found it necessary to dispose Of the
property. Pending the negotiations
the house burned to the ground, and
although the widow escaped, every
thing in her possession had been con-
sumed. She had to borrow clothes be-
fore leaving for New York, where she
had friends.
She resolved not to allow her grief
to have serious effect upon her, but
to find some immediate source of sup
port, and took the first opportunity
that offered. She had made specially
wholesome graham bread fov friend
here who was suffering with indiges-
ton, and his appreciation of it at once
suggested means of support-she
would bake and sell bread. Calling
at neighboring residences and board
ing houses, she at once took ORDER
for all she could bake, delivered the
bread the sane day, and secured
regular customers. With the pro.
ceeds of successive sales she took il
large supply OF materials, and il
steadily increasing the profits. She
declares that with her ambition she
will not remain poor long, and will
soon make big success of her under
taking. New York Sun.

American women and Gray Hair.

Is it true that the hair Of American
women turns gray much earlier than
that of the women of other countries?
There are those who make the as
sertion. 1t is, too, say these,
thorough gray. While the locks Of an
English or French woman will late in
life show few stray blasting threads, !"
the head of an American woman at q
much younger age is quite blanched,
or at least frosted. To two things
may the cause of the tendency be
ascribed-American air and American
atmosphere-terms not at all synony-
nous. If the former turns our leaves,
why should it not turn our hair?
While what the latter may accomplish
through the agencies of ice water, hot
bread and worry, needs no comment.
Early gray hair, as rule, means in
ability to cope with nerve-destroying
things. 1t is declared to be largely q
matter Of temperament. That it should
be characteristic of American women
is in keeping with most other traits OF
our race. -Harper's Bazaar.

they brought along an elderly aunt OF

society. One day he took the old lady
out for drive in high, open ve-

was unable to go at the last moment,
so the aunt moupted behind and he in

new to the place they had hardly any
acquaintances. Greatly to his aston

along, people began to bow to him
from every side. He said that for one
short moment he saw himself great
man; but at the same time his surprise
increased, until he turned around to
express his astonishment to his aunt
Priscilla, even if he had to shout, and
in turning, the mystery of the bows
was solved-the old lady sat bolt mp
