NOVEL LIFE INSURANCE

A curious form Of life insurance was introduced
some years ago in French manufacturing towns under
the name Of La Fourmi (the ant). The popularity is
that the longer lives the less he becomes en-

sures the payment Of $1,000 to the heirs of man
dying before the age Of 49, the payment diminishes
proportionately to 500 at 81 The idea seems to be
that dies young his children are likely to be
in want, but when he is 50 they will be able to earn
their living.
