INSURANCE FOR MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS. 
Owing to the large number of accidents 
occurring every year to mountain climbers and 
tourists in the Alps, several insurance compa¬ 
nies have established an accident policy for the 
benefit of persons undertaking these mountain 
excursions. For a premium of twelve cents per 
season certain Alpine clubs offer insurance to 
their members to the amount of $71.40, with 
medical care, etc., included. An insurance com¬ 
pany, of Vienna, offers “Alpine insurance” at a 
premium of $1.42 per year for every $201 of 
benefit in case of accident which causes invalidity 
or death. The amount of the premium is less 
in case groups of five or ten persons are insured 
together. There is also an insurance policy 
issued for the winter season against ski and bob¬ 
sleigh accidents in the Alps.—Consul John H. 
Grout, Odessa, Russia. 
THE MANICURE LADY. 
“George,” said the Manicure Lady to the 
Head Barber, "did you ever catch one of them 
horned pouts? What kind of a animal are 
they, anyhow?” 
"They ain't a animal,” said the Head 
Barber. “It is a fish.” 
"There you go murdering the English lan¬ 
guage again,” said the Manicure Lady. "They 
ain’t a animal; it is a fish. That’s fine talk for 
a grown-up man, ain’t it?” 
“I said, ‘it is a fish,’ and I mean it,” declared 
the Head Barber, stolidly. "What did you start 
this conversation for, anyhow? If you want to 
get nasty about murdering the English, I could 
get nasty right back at you and tell you how 
you send all them verbs and nouns to the guillo¬ 
tine. If you want to gab me this morning, be 
civil, kiddo, be civil." 
“I didn’t mean nothing, George,” said the 
Manicure Lady. “Only I do like to hear our 
beautiful language spoke as it ought for to be. 
What I started out for to say was that I got 
a letter from Wilfred this morning. The poor 
boy felt that broke down from looking for a 
job all these months that he persuaded the old 
gent to stake him to a trip up in the country. 
Lie’s up there now, and this letter I got from 
him told about him catching a lot of horned 
pouts. He said they caught them at night with 
a lantern light to get them around, like old 
soldiers gathering around a camp-fire. Maybe 
it must be some kind of a fish, as you said, 
George. 
"Wilfred had to put some of his poetry into 
the,letter, of course. He wouldn’t be my brother 
if he didn't spout some of them rhymes. He 
called this one ‘Lines to a Horned Pout,’ and 
this is how it went, if you want to take a chance 
the way Mr. Brodie did. 
Little horned pout that I caught last night 
When the silvery moon was shining bright, 
I think how short thy existence was 
And shudder to think I was the cause. 
Why should a strong man go about 
Catching and killing you, horned pout? 
Far from your friends and family dear, 
You lie cold in death in a pantry here, 
Dreaming dreams that no mortal can see, 
And waiting to be swallowed up by me. 
This fact by me shall not be forgotten. 
Little horned pout, I treated you rotten.” 
“If he felt that tender toward the fish, why 
didn’t he go hunting instead?” asked the Head 
Barber. 
“They wouldn’t let him go hunting up there 
where he is, George,” replied the Manicure Lady. 
“He was up there last year with a old gent 
named Ben Spear, and the two of them went out 
with two rabbit dogs, looking for rabbits. Be¬ 
fore the sun had set they came back without the 
dogs. Wilfred had shot one of the dogs for a 
rabbit, and Mr. Spear had shot the other on the 
way home. He was aiming at a bluejay and shot 
low.” 
“They oughn’t to let a greenhorn handle a 
gun,” said the Head Barber. 
“No,” agreed the Manicure Lady, “or a 
razor, either.”—New York Evening Journal. 
MODERN USE OF FLAX. 
The flax industry of this country has 
reached a stage of considerable importance, but 
the product is not made use of in the production 
of linen, but in the manufacture of linseed oil. 
It is said that at the present time about 2 500,000 
acres of land are given up to flax growing. A 
problem of the industry is to make some use 
of the straw, which now goes wholly to waste, 
this amounting to about 3,000,000 tons. 
Experiments in the direction of papermaking 
with the straw have met with some degree of 
success, but the scheme is not commercially 
practicable.—Indianapolis News. 
A HIGHER TRIBUNAL.
