PeriIs in the Home
Told by Risk Company

Mark Twain once called attention TO
the peril which surrounds bed since
so many people die there. According
to an insurance company. home is not
an entirely safe place either. This
concern learns from an examination
of its records that out Of every 90
accidental deaths nine take place in
the home.
Thus nearly one-slxth of the fatal
accidents occur in an environment in
which one might reasonably expect to
be protected from danger of injury.
Age, however, has a bearing on the
situation. Children are in greater
peril than when they develop into
youth, and the danger increases as one
passes from middle age. Burns, falls
ami lnhallng poisonous gases are the
chief causes of fatal accidents In the
home.
We are accustomed to consider the
peril which attends traffic In the street
and employment n many lines of in
dustry. The fact that it is impressed
Thus many accidents may be avoided
which would otherwise happen were
we regardless of the danger, Because
we feel safe when within the walls we
call home, may in some measure be
responsible for the accidents which
occur there. Our surroundings being
so familiar the sense Of lurking dan
ger in an open fire, or loose board
on a step, does not suggest Itself.
After the damage is done we may per-
ceive wherein we erred, but 1t is too
late to remedy the harm done. We
are never entirely free from peril
whether at home or abroad, but we
are likely to have keener apprecia-
ton Of It when away from home and
the opposite may be ones undoing at
home.-Pittsburgh Telegraph.

with that described in the Bible.

There was nothing but water and
space. Then va put forth his hand
and the land came up out of the wa

The Mount Everest climbers, max
ing their second attempt, had at last
accounts reached Sikkim frontier, with
good weather and favorable progress.
The report in the New York Times
tells much of interest concerning the
country and its peoples. The follow

AT the frontier, on crossing into
Independent Slkkim, we were met by
the guard, a single policeman. When
we had finished the necessary official
documents, "right-hand salutel" roared
the guard at himself, and duly sa-
luted with his right hand. Left

straIghtway took himself off. He was
a Gurka. and all Gurkas love drilling
themselves If they cannot get anyone
else to drill them"
