 w o m e n.

A large number of women who die In the United States each year are victims to feminine fashion of dress, for their cloth ing is a definite first hazard, &C., cording to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com
 pany. The greatest number die from burns received from stove, furnace, or grate fires; fiammable liquid stake the next heaviest toll; while matches and cigarets claim the third largest number of lives, and of these many die as the re- suit of smkoing in bed. --.
 Burns sustained in ordinary home activities cause the death of about l,6oo women over age l5 in this country every year. This includes some $50 deaths from the use of fiammable liquids for, kindling fires, dry cleaning and other purposes, and i50 deaths that result when the women's clothes catch fire as they warm themselves near open fires or hot stoves. q ss Of the $50 women over IS years of age, insured in the industrial department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who died from burns during the years 1896 to 1888, the deaths of I'll were ate tributable to stoves and grates. and 34 of these I'll were the vic- tins of burns received while warming themselves.
 The use of flammable liquids for kindling fires, dry cleaning. polish- ing stoves and other purposes caused clothes to catch fire and caused the deaths of 73 of the women, while matches and cigarets were responsible for 32 fatal burns. Twelve of those who thus met their fate were smoking in bed and fell asleep.
 Seven of the $50 women died as the result of scalds while bathing, IS died from burns received while tending bonfires of dead leaves or rubbish, and lighted candles were responsible for the deaths of two.
