Insurance and Suicide.

The Missouri decision that the insur-
ance company muso pay tho full value
s.! the policy Of q suicide unless it can
show that self-murder was contemplat-
cd nj the time that the policy was taken
oct will open up the question a. to
eLetlpr the insurance of lives Gncour-
aSes suicide. High officers in various
companies have from time TO time ar
gued that it does not, but statistics
'Ol'G eocm to point to different con-
-'r. O.. In 1850 the suicide rate Of In
sGod was 1871 per 100000, wEjG III 1898
: had prisen to IT per 100000. Where
insurance companies declare that they
vii not contest any suicide claims they
may be putting a premium on self-de-
struction, says the Philadelphia In
luircr. Some years ago, when tho ao-
-ilJ at insurance boom was at It's height
'n ENGLAND, q commiss was appoint
eu 10 investigate the matter. 1t found
TINT r. cases where the premium on the
zoos o. an eye was greater than for the
.oss Of leg, the company making the
offer had more EYE claims" to pay than
anything else. Where the right hand
vss rated at the highest figure, more
right hands than any other portion of
zhC body were lost. This matter Of self
luti'ation for al insurance reward was
-lcc-ly demonstrated by the testimony
secured by the commission. II also
Drought to light another interesting
fact. The greatest number of accident
cases were reported from that class that
IS known as the "genteel poor" AS the
members of this class follow clerical or
professional careers rather than me
2hcniral or arduous ones, the number of
accidents among them, as compared
Sith those who actually followed haz-
1rupus businesses, was remarkable. 1t
was fairly well demonstrated that wher
hey we're hard up for few hundred
pounds they would take out an accident
loucy for the amount needed and go,
10 come home with a crushed leg or
land as the case might warrant. In the
natter OF suicide the man who Is In
financial or other trouble Is far more
