 There are times when 1t Is desirable for. woman to take out an accident insurance policy. If she is work ing woman she may be employed in some store, factory or office building, where conditions are such that there is danger from fire or accident at any time. If she is moneyed woman she is exposed to accidents on the street and in travelling, in which case she runs the risk of railroad casual ties. No matter what her station in life, a woman is daily placed in situa- tions where accidents are liable to happen. There are many kinds Of these policies. good for one day or any length of time. and they may be pur- chased at insurance or railway offices Where one buys an accident policy just before oing .on journey 1t shouid be mailed at once to some member or the family or business companion, and not carried on the person. for in event of an accident it might be entirely de- stroyed.
 Five thousand dollars is the amount an accident insurance policy calls for in case of death, and about S2S year is the premium to pay on this amount. Other amounts are recovera- ble according to the injuries. For instance, $10 or $20 week for six months, when one is disabled from one important duty; s2o0 to s400 for four to six years for total disabling injury, and other indemnities too numerous to write in detail In addi- tion to the indemnity an accident fn- surance policy pays for surgical op- eration necessitated by disease or injury, covered under the policy. feature with most accident companies Is that if an insured person receives injuries while riding as a passenger in a passenger street car, steam car, steam vessel, elevator. or in burn ing building, the policy doubles for all amounts.
 Of course any woman contemplating obtaining an accident policy and 1t Is always desirable to hold one in travel ing will. If she has time. investigate the company thoroughly before invest ing. It is interesting to know that the death rate from accidents is greater in the city than In the country, and the average age at death from acct- dent is thirty-four. The months of June. July, August. September and March are most prolific in the mum ber of casualties, for there Is more travel and moving at these times of year.
 Kfndley tell me when Wohdh comes of age?-A High School Girl.
 All persons are infants or under age in the eye of the law, until they are twenty-one. In some States, however, women are considered of age in some transactions at eighteen. It is an odd fact that the time a person becomes of age Is. the beginning of the day before her twenty-first birthday. Thus if she was born on June s. 1860, she would be of age June [. 1881. and any papers she signed on that day would be legal in so far as her being of age is concerned.

There are specific exceptions to this
rule which apply to certain counties.
1.-The election is provided for in the
following manner. A petition signed
by at least one-fourth Of the qualified
voters of the county must be filed
with the supervisor before May 1 Of
general election year. The supervis-
or then orders the election to be held
upon the general election day In the
November following. The county
conventions meet on the first Monday
in May of an election year, and the
requirement that the petition be filed
] before May 1st, was inserted to enable
the county convention, II 1t should
desire to do so, to submit the question
to the democratic primary In August.
1t can then be settled by the white
democratic voters, regardless Of regis
tration certificates, and this action
| will be confirmed at the general cleo
ton, Just the same as its nominations
for all offices are confirmed.
Should the election result in favor

may decide whether part Of the

1.-The state assumes no obligation
whatever I'm connection with the pur-
chases of liquor. Every dispensary
must stand upon its own bottom. The
county, not being authorized to en-
bark in the business. Of course as
sumes no obligation In connection
with It, This was provided to prevent
whisky dealers from overlooking the
dispensaries. They must look to the
business for their pay and will. there
fore, be more discreet in making sales
of the quality and quantity which
will be sold than II the state or county
was the paymaster.
"All liquor must be thoroughly an

stuff shall be put off on the people.
1.-The restrictive features of the old
dispensary law relating to sales to
minors, intoxicated persons, between
sunset and sunrise, etc., are retained.
Monthly statements by the boards
are required, and every quarter they
must report the profits made. These
profits are provided differently in diff

NEW MAN STOPPING BULLET.
Il Mushrooms In Flesh and Splits or
Pulverizes Bones.

In what is known as the clay test
in the Hof man stopping bullet red
plastic clay was used, during the re-
cent experiment at Springfield. Some
pine boxes, each about % x s inches,
interior measurement, were used by
the examining board each box being
filled with red clay.
These boxes were fired into by the
Hof projectile. Some Of the weapons
used were the Colt calibre .45. carry
Ing a lead bullet; some were self
loading calibre AS. and some Of the
bullets were jacketed or sheathed
with steel.
After the spluttering of clay dis
placed by the fired projectile was over
liquid plaster Of paris was poured in.
filling the cavity, and the mass allow
ed to cool, after which the cones were
| uncased. Some Of the cones were %
inches long, some about IL inches, re-
sembling red icicles. Examination
was then made with view to the re-
covery Of the projectile and note was
made Of it's condition.
When the Hof bullet is fired into
water or clay, says the Boston Tran
script, the round ball, which Is made
Of steel and antimony moulded into
the point Of the bullet, invariably be-
comes detached from the bullet prop
er.
In water or in soft clay this bullet
mushrooms in a manner very like
the hollow point man stopped bullets.
The Hof bullet Is claimed to be equal
to the latter in accuracy, combining
| with this accuracy man stopping ef-
| feet. But perhaps on humanitarian
grounds a non-detachable compound
bullet will be urged.
The test Of the Hof bullet should
properly be made into living flesh or
some animal Sometimes these tests
are made, using cadavers obtained by
legitimate methods. In the present
case the carcass of semi-frozen beef
was laid horizontally and fired into,
using projectiles Of lead or projectiles
jacketed or sheathed with cupro-nick-
ell steel, also by Hofs bullet,
The arms used were calibre .4b.
Perhaps half dozen shots were fred
for the purpose Of inficting flesh
wounds only; others were fired care
fully, aiming at the bones. The paths
traversed by the bullets were then
carefully measured and probed and
the condition of the flesh and bones
struck by the bullet carefully noted
and made Of record.
When a bullet of small calibre and
having great energy strikes the bone
it makes a hole through 1t that Is
clean cut. When a bullet Of calibre
AS strikes a large bone or when one
of Hof's man stopping bullets strikes
a large bone it splits or fractures or
pulverizes the bones.

MILLIONS ARE STARVING.
N orth China Famine Worst In Worlds
History.

History.
| New York, Feb. 19-Unless imme'
diate succor be sent to the Chinese
famine sufferers in the district north
Of the Yangste river the lives of TO-
900, 900 starving Chinese farmers viii
be snuffied out within a few weeks.
| communication to this effect wa:
received by E. r. Johnston, Of the
Christian Herald today from g
prominent civic society in China
which has been soliciting aid for the
! famine sufferers from the nations Of
the world.
| Immediate steps will be taken BY
charitable institutions of this city tc
send relief to the sufferers.
THE famine in North China is the
most terrible in the history of the
world" said Mr.. Johnston. Not ever
the famines Of India can compare
with 1t. 1t covers an area of more
than 10000 square miles, with a pop
ulation Of 100000. 1t is inevitable
that this whole population will be
wiped out unless relief be sent al
once.
Last October and November II
rained in = the district for 40 days
| without cessation: Every crop was
utterly ruined The Chinese Of that
section rely for food entirely upon
what they raise. They are mostly
small landholders or tenants.
1.-The whole country was covered
with water, and as there were nc
crops, there was no seed for a new
| planting. In December 100000 OF
the 10000, 900 inhabitants were desti-
tute and thousands had died. BY
February l the whole population was
starving. and the suffering was ter
rible.
Men stripped trees Of their bark
for food. Women threw their chill
dren into the river rather than see
them die of starvation. Suicides were
counted by the thousand.
Mothers sold their boys and girls
thus obtained to provide the children
with food, and then killed themselves
Older children were sold into slavery
and worse, so that the money they
brought might be used to feed their
little brothers and sisters.
ITO make matters worse, smallpox
and typhoid fever broke out in the
famine camps and thousands died OF
of these diseases. The cities were sur
rounded by thousands Of shadow
like men and women from the coun-
try districts. They were almost starv-
ed to death and many Of them could
hardly walk. Death camps were in
stituted, to which the dying crawled
to breathe their last.
Every possible effort Is being
made by the Chinese government to
relieve the suffering. Food Is being
brought from other countries. The
Red Cross society has responded to
the cry Of the famine sufferers, and
is conveying money and provisions to
China"
DR.. Lewis Klopsch, of the Chris
tian Herald. has already sent .$36, ,000
to the sufferers and has promised to
send $4,000 a month for the next
four months. One dollar from every
American will save one life In China
for week. Millions are in the fam
| inc CAMPS now.

LAUGHS AS MEDICINE.
Merriment Aids Digestion and Does
the Whole Body Good.

IF we laughed more we should all
be happier and healthier. True. we
are a busy and very practical peo-
ple, and most of us probably find
more in this life to bring the frown
than the smile: but. nevertheless. 1t
is pity that we do not laugh more
that we do not bring ourselves to
the laugh If need be. For we all
agree that a good laugh is the best
medicine i'm the world.
Physicians have said that no other
feeling works so much good to the
entire human body as that or merrl-
ment. AS digestive 1t is unexcelled;
as a means of expanding the lungs
there is nothing better.
1t keeps the heart and face young.
IT is the best Of all tOnics to the spir--
its IT is. too. the most enjoyable or
all sensations.
4 good laugh makes us better
friends with ourselves and everybody
around us. and puts us in closer touch
with what is best and brightest In our
LOT in life. 1t Is to be regretted, then.
that such a potent agency for person
al good is not more often used. IL
costs nothing. All Other medicines
are more or less expensive.
why" said an old doctor. not long
ago. III people fully realized what IT
meant to themselves to laugh. and
they laughed as they should. 30 per
cent of the doctors would have to go
out of business"
Probably when we get little less
busy we shall laugh more. For, after
all. the difference between gloom and
laughter is but a step. And If more
of US took a step aside oftener than
we do. and rested more, we would
laugh more.
The laughing that is needed is not
the foolish giggle INDUCED in by GER
tain misguided feminines. There Is
no outward mark which demonstrates
the woman of shallow mind so unmis-
takably as that of giggling There is
no sense in the giggle. no benefit to
be derived from 1t.
1t makes a fool Of the person her
self and renders every one about her
uncomfortable: but just as the giggle
is the outcome of a small mind. the
hearty laugh Is the reflection OF a
healthful nature. What We want is
more good laughter in the world-not
more gigglers.--Boston Herald.

THE NEW DIsPENsARY LAW.
Mr.. Thomas p. Cothran Discusses lts
More Important Features.


No one is better prepared to discuss
the numerous features Of the carey
Cothran county option bill. than Rep
resentative Thomas P. Cothran him.
self. When seen yesterday by a rep
resentative of the Greenville News
Mr.. Cothran said
Bearing in mind the two principal
objects to be accomplished by what
is popularity styled the 'Carey-Coth'
ran bilr it's provisions can be more
readily followed and understood
These objects are the abolition OF the
state dispensary and the establish
| ment of local option in every county
as between prohibition and what may
be termed county dispensaries.' AS
matter of fact there can be, under the
constitution. no such thing as dis
pensary owned and operated by Q
county. The constitution permits the
| general assembly to authorize county
officers under the authority and IT
the name Of the state to engage IT
the business of buying and selling In
toxicating liquors. This act come:
| within this limitation of the constl'
tuition by declaring that the Variou!
county dispensary boards are county
| officers and are authorized under the
authority and the name of the state
| to engage in such business.
| "The abolition Of the state dispen'
sary Is accomplished directly by
provision declaring that the state dis
pensary is hereby abolished. IL Il
also accomplished indirectly by a pro-
vision that the sale of liquors except
as therein provided is prohibited
THE only method provided 10; fre
sale Of liquor is that by the county
dispensary boards and manufacturers
As the feature of much interest Is the
sale by the county dispensary boards
7 shall briefly dispose Of the matter
of sale by manufacturers and then
pass to that of sale by county dispen-
sary boards
sale by manufacturers Is prohioit-
ed except in counties which have per-
mitted by vote or in action the opera
ton of dispensaries under the old
law: in other words, a distillery can
be operated only in wet counties IN
which dispensaries are now in opera
ton. The manufacturers are required
tn nav a license fee Of from $500 to
$4,000. according to capacity. Ihe
manufacture in any county may be
voted out in the same manner H3 pro-
yided for in voting in a county dis
pensary.'
Now, as to sale by county dispen-
sarv boards, which for convenience
shall refer to as county dispensaries

NAPOLEON.
The Courtesy of the Famous Exile on
the Undaunted.
(To be Continued)

The Courtesy of the Famous Exile on
the Undaunted.
In George Cruikshank's Omnibus, a
short lived periodical edited by Laman
Blanchard. Is a slight sketch entitled
"A Short Cruise at Margate," in which
we get a glimpse Of Napoleon Bona
parte during his voyage to Elba. The
author relates how he interviewed an
old Margate boatman named Emptage,
who had served on the Hyacinth man.
Of war under Captain (afterward ad-
miral,) Ussher and on the Undaunted
in Frejus bay when Napoleon embark
ed from that port for Elba. The ar
ticle is illustrated by two drawings by
Cruikshank, in one Of which Napoleon
Is represented leaning against the
breech of a gun and in another as pur-
sued by a bluejacket at Toulon, where,
as Emptage declared Napoleon related,
he was wounded by British sailor.
In conversation Emptage states that
Napoleon on coming on board the I'm
daunted went forward and conversed
with the sailors in what he calls a
sort of lingo, which may have been
Italian or French or perhaps mix
ture Of both. 1t is certain that Napo-
leon did not speak English, although
he knew enough Of that language to
read the naval and military news in an
English newspaper Emptage's tale Is
corrobOrated by Admiral Ussher, who
published narrative Of the voyage to
Elba in which he says:
ION arriving alongside Immediately
went up the side (of the Undaunted
to receive the emperor on the quarter
deck. He took his hat off and bowed
to the officers. who were all assem-
bled on the deck. He soon afterward
went forward to the forecastle among
the people, and found him there con-
versing with those among them who
understood a little French"
1t seems evident that Napoleon took
pains to ingratiate himself with the
crew of the Undaunted during the voy-
age from Frejus. Lord Rosebery re-
lates:
When he (Napoleon) left the Un-
daunted. which conveyed him to Elba,
the boatswain, on behalf Of the ships
company, had wished him long life
and prosperity in the isle of Elba and
better luck next time"
The good wishes of the crew were
probably stimulated by the very lib
eral present Napoleon made on leaving
the ship.
The article in the Omnibus, which
appeared in 1892 describe Emptage
as approaching his SEVENTEEN year and
az having been several times wounded.
