tea-tray or the coal-box. secure In
the prospect of long rest and no
loss OF wages.
Householders, of course, cover
their risk by insuring each employee
against accidents.
English courts, as a rule, place n
liberal construction on the word 'ac-
cident." and accordingly on the
hooks Of the insurance companies
may be found many odd claims.
Here are few:
A COW whisking her tail caused
injury to milkmaid's eve.
A man servant sprained his leg
through stamping on rat.
A coachman corning out OF
stable was struck in the face by his
masters boot. intended for a cater
wauling cat.
A cook was breaking coal and q
piece went down her throat
A curate was scalded through
stumbling while carrying a tea urn
at parochial gathering.
A servant was pricked by a rusty
needle while sewing button on her
employers clothes.
II Is somehow difficult to imagine
that success could attend claims like
these:
A servant received shock
through seeing large Teddy bear
when the room was only dimly
lighted.
Another servant, fetching coal out
OF cellar. collapsed from fright
caused by the silent appearance OF
a washerwoman, and broke her arm.
