Suicides and Insurance.

N 6t long ago n Missouri court de-
eide 0 that an insurance company must
pay the full value of the policy of a
suici Ge unless It can be shown that
self.n imrder was contemplated when
the p, Ucy was taken out. In 1889 the
suiclde' rate Of insured was 12.7 per
100000. while in 1893 It had risen to
II per. 100000. Where insurance
compan1 es declare that they will not
contest amy suicide claims they may
be putin g a premium on self-1estruc.
ton.
Some years ago. when the accident
insurance boom was at its height in
England, n commission was appointed
TO investigate the matter. IL found
that in cases where the premium on
the loss OF am eve was gr eater than
for the loss OF n leg, the company max
ing the offer had more "eye claims' 10
pay than anything else. Where the
right hand was rated at the highest
figure, more right hands than any
other portion of the body were lost.
This matter of self-mutilation for an
insurance reward was clearly demon
strated by the testimony secured by
the commission.
1t also brought to light another in.
teresting facf. The creates number
Of accident cases were reported from
that class that is known as the gen
teel poor" As the members OF this
class follow clerical or professional
careess rather than financial or ar
duous ones, the number of accidents
among them. as compared with those
who actually follow hazardous busi-
nesses, was remarkable. 1t was fair
ly well demonstrated that when they
were hard up for n few hundred
pounds they would take out an acci-
dent policy for the amount needed,
come home with a crushed leg or hand
as the case might warrant
/ In the matter of suicide. the man
who is in financial or other trouble is
far more apt to solve it by ending his
life. If his life insurance will surely be
paid to his heirs, than he would if a
reasonable doubt were raised as to the
legality of the claims OF his heirs TO
such a payment The insurance com
panies frequently pay suicide claims.
although they feel morally sure that
there was fraud intended when the
polly was taken out, but when they
do this, rather than suffer the odium
that attaches TO n disputed claim.

Travelling In Java.

A man who has been travelling in
Java thus writes about the Dutch colo
nial railways. lie says Trains are
used in Java, not on account OF their
speed, but on account of the long dis
tances one has to cover. II you are in

Eve miles TO go-walk. You may find
some difficulty in keeping mp to the

THE nsIXTH sENsEn I'M ANIMALS.

THE sixth SENSE" IN ANIMALS.
A correspondent of the Daily News
states that lady residing in the hotel
at Amalfl, the day before the landslip,
refused to stay there for another night
because she was certain that the earth
was moving, and compares this sensi-
tiveness with the observations OF the
symptoms OF unrest and apprehension
shown by domestic animals before the
serious earthquake of 1897 in the Ri
Niera. The facts then observed corre-
spond generally with those
in the case of other great disturbance
OF earth and air. A number of cases
are given in which horses, dogs, a
monkey and even ducks showed signs
Of panic for a day, two days or even
longer before the last great earth
quake. A lady at Nice remarked the
bad condition of the horse she usually
drove and told her coachman to take il
home and to bring another in a
broughman from the livery stables for
her The hired horse seemed as timid
and as weak as her own. The driver
then said that all animals were ION
their feed" A monkey and other pets
at villa near Villefranche, on Shrove
tuesday, the day before the shock
which destroyed much life and prop
erty, refused to enter the house where
they were generally anxious to come.
They were all spiritless. dull and
scared. A small lapdog which usually
sat on the arm of its masters chair at
meals refused to occupy its usual seat.
But, perhaps, the most striking evil
dence that the animals were in a state
OF fear was that the cows in the dairies
supplying the coast resorts seemed ter
rlhed, and the quantity and quality of
the milk suffered. As the farmers and
peasants of the district are noted for
their skill and knowledge in dairying,
small facts of this kind affecting the
yield OF milk and butter would almost
certainly be noticed and remembered

Work.

More people are killed by idleness,

Enforced idleness is n curse. volun-

leisure is n blessing.

HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN EOVT s.


1t may prove a matter of surprise to
some That Mississippi has a 100000
poultry farm. Here is the proof: "The
second largest poultry farm in the
United States" says the Bay-Wave-
land Commercial Pamphlet, lis located
fifteen miles from Bay st. Louis; 5000
laying hens ply their avocation, 1900
ducks and as many turkeys are a por-
ton Of the enterprise. Twenty to
thirty 600 and 500 egg incubators are
in constant use. This alone demon
strates the success of the poultry en-
terprise" Commenting the Sea Coast
Echo says when the pamphlet in
question was being prepared it was a
rule to make no exaggerations, and no
statement that could not be fully sub
stantiated upon investigation. The
poultry farm located at Bryants. on
the Louisville and Nashville line, was
established some few years ago at a
cost Of 100000. 1t is one of the great
est and most interesting poultry farms
found anywhere. Imagine a place
where eggs are gathered daily by
wheelbarrows full!"-New Orleans
