DIVORCE INSURANCE.
Should Be Obligatory for Husband,
Danish Author Believes.

a
New York Evening World: Karin
Michaelis Stangeland, author of The
Dangerous Age, is back in the United
States. She has even more pronounce
ed views on marriage and divorce. Her
pet scheme for social reform is divorce
insurance.
ssEvery father should take out a
policy for his daughter-the ooner
the better-like a left insurance, the
policy to mature after a certain term
OF years" she said.
Sin case the daughter marries, the
husband should have to the
insurance responsibility, and from
then on it should be regarded as a
divorce insurance to be paid only in
the event of a divorce.
while for the father. it should be
q matter of honor to take out this
insurance, it should be obligatory for
the husband, and naturally in accord
anc with his means.
mo premium should be paid after
a certain time, for instance, when the
couple have reached ansage in which a
divorce seems out of the question. If
the calamity should still happen, the
wife would be rightfully entitled TO
draw the financial annuity by virtue
of her paid-up policy.
at is possible that this idea of
mine has great faults, but, on the
whole, it Is .good and sound, and If lit
is not carried out this year, nor next
year, it will not, be long before the
immense development in the women's
field will bring it.
stSuch a divorce insurance would
also morally be of great Importance,
as now many a poor woman, in fear
Of the outcome or disincliHation to-
ward disputes with her husband over
alinlony, stays married under circum-
stances utterly disgraceful and harm
full for the husband, herself and the
children.

a hungry traveller popped his head

sHAD SCARCE

People who eat must fortify them
selves against a hard week, IL what
the dealers say passes true. The floods
in the West have delayed meat trains;
the floods in the South have destroyed
early vegetables, and the frosts in
the East and in this particular sec
ton have played havoc.
So the thing to do In order TO save
family expenses, according to the
clerks of the markets Is to drink
milk, eat eggs and hibernate.
For instance, here are the prices Of
ordinary food stuffs And these prices
are liable to prevail for some time
OF until the local vegetable stock
makes its appearance. Here is the
list, secured from representative men
engaged in the business. and these
prices will prevail, at least. for sew
eral days:
r. r. Fairlamh, one Of the old
timers, says that meats will have a
tendency for some days to creep up a
little in price AS the prices stand
now they are; beef, porterhouse, 80;
rib roast, %: round, IS to 20; chuck,
l5 to IT; stew. 10 TO 2 Ia veal, II
1-2 to 80: lamb, spring. rs and so;
fall, 90 and IS; pork, 20 and IS; pork
sausage, 25; mixed, Is TO 20,
Vegetables are still more discourag-
ing to the man who eats. He will
have to pay these prices for the vege-
tarions around his family, and ne will
have to pay them cash, for the high
prices have cut out the credit sys-
tenn. so il is hard to tell what Is 60
ing to become of the people who have
accounts, when there are no snow
balls to act. Here are the vegetable
prices as handed out by Mr.. w. w.
Tilier. one of the largest dealers in
the Second market:
Celery. 3 for rs: asparagus, Is to
so a bunch: snaps. 5 a quart; car
rots, for %; lima beans, SO; toma-
toes, 50 and SIS basket; egg plants,
Is to rs per piece; cymblings so per
dozen; cucumbers, 3 for rs; new po-
tatoes, s quart: Bermuda onions, ! 5
quart; apples, so to IS per peck.
That isn't the whole tale. Here is
what the fish we may eat will cost,
and fish are very scarce. owing to the
many foods and high waters:
Roe shad. rs; buck, 40 and so;
rock, blue. mackrel, trout, 90 per
pound: sturgeon. Is; perch. club and
founders, "a per bunch Herring 81
per hundred. Oysters are scarce.
Many of the restaurants last night
ran short. They are selling at from
81 TO $3.50 a gallon. Hallibut goes
at 30 a pound, while soft she'll crabs,
quite small, are going at so to rs
cents dozen.

gives out the most encouraging prices.
He says eggs, fresh from the coun-
try, can be had for 20 cents, while
creamery butter is going at 43. and
intermediate points OF butter are on
the market at from 20 to 40.
So. 1t seems, that the cheapest way
TO live for the next few weeks is on
butter and eggs. while EVAN Mueller,
the baker, says the prices of bread
