Southern Insurance Companies

The Raleigh News and Observer re-
Gently remarked that North Carolina
ought to have home companies TO do
the bulk of Its insurance business. The
remark was made in connection with
banquet given by the North Carolina
Home Insurance Company 10 its agents
and invited guests. Our Raleigh con-
temporary says that Its long career. the
company has paid It's policies promptly
has been eSndlctsh upon conservative
the large measure of confidence given
to 1t by the people OF the old North
State.
AS we have been saying the same thing
about Virginia companies, and urging
the people of the South 10 bestow their
patronage upon home companies instead
of sending all their premiums to the North
to help to enrich that section, that OBJ
servation Of the News and Observer Is
very pleasing and encouraging TO US.
Since that article was written We note
the organization in Charlotte. y. c., OF
the Charlotte Life Insurance Company,
with an authorized capital stock Of
/ 100000 and we note also In the list Of
those composing the organization the
name OF y. A. Tomrkins, one Of the
most sensible, practical and progressive
men in all the South Mr. Tompklns
has thoroughly studied the industrial! sit
ua,ion in the South, and there Is no
better authority on that subject. The
mere fact that he mas associated himself
with Southern NE Insurance company
IS conclusive 10 our mind that the South
Is a good tis!d Of operation for home

Healthy Sunshine

It has for some time been known
that sunlight acts as DESTROYER of
many of those pathogenic organisms
which are popularity known as germs.
Some time ago an ingenious expert
mentalist demonstrated this fact in
a very convincing manner by prepar-
ing a culture" of these germs on
fiat surface and exposing 1t to sum
light beneath a stencil plate, with the
result that he obtained an image Of
the cut out part of the stencil in
dead germ life, the rest of the pre-
pared plate being still alive. He
called it living photograph" but
che same term has since been applied
to the popular cinematograph picture.
The Massachusetts, Board Of Trade
has recently carried out a series OF
experiments in order to ascertain how
far sunlight is able to cleanse water
affected with the undesirable germs
which result from sewage contamina-
ton. The two organisms dealt with
more particularly were the colon
bacillus and that associated with the
typhoid They found that both species
were quickly destroyed by free access
to sunlight.-Chambers Journal.

WOMEN's VOICES.

A Philadelphian who has been back
a week or so from an extensive tour
of Europe concludes that American
women, as seen in the general view in
street and shop, are ali right to look
at, but" he says, Il never knew how
bad they were to listen to until l came
back and heard their voices, high
pitched and with a nasal twang that
seems excessive after summers re-
spite. l really think it must be worse
than when 1 left, and if there are any
statistics on the subject, l would be
willing to bet on it. To me it is now
so noticeable that l wonder every time
when l see that other people do not
seem to hear it. OF course, you can
get used to anything, but when | do
find q woman now whose speech is of
the low, full-voiced kind you hear in
Europe, it acts like positive rest for
the ear. They say, l believe, that the
feminine nasal squeak is worse i'll the
country than in the city, but | don't
see how that could be possible. Physi-
cal culture will never fulfill its func-
lions completely till it does away with
the high-pitched voice. '-Philadelphia

III. T. Newcomb, of the District OF
Columbia Bar, has complied statistics
showing that STATS deposltors in
savings banks Of six Eastern States are
directly interested in the joint owner

securities, that insurance companies
doing business in Massachusetts hold

similar securities for a portion OF their

own enough railroad securities to bring
such holdings up to more than Il billion
and a half dollars, about onesixth of
the entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments represent
the savings of the masses, there being
twenty million holders OF life lnsur-
ance policies in the country, as many
more of fire insurance policies, and an
even greater number of depositors in
banking and trust institutions, where
investments are largely in railroad SEE

SUFFERING FOR BEAUTY.

You must suffer to be beautiful,

motionless, with her arms close to her
side, during several hours every day.
This was, it appears, to improve her
figure. During the rest of the day,
for the same period of time, she sat
on a high stool giving and rocking
the upper part of her body backward
and forward and from side to side
increasingly. BY this process she is
said to have acquired a statuesque
throat and sylph's waist. The lady's
nose, having soaring nature, was
corrected and made Grecian by the
constant application day and night for
months of spring bandage. One nos

other. so she wore a small sponge in
