lapses from the ranks of mourners. At
tho end of tho third year only thirty
seven widowers lenialn. With the wid
ows it Is even worse. None remarry
within the Urst yenr of their husband's
decease, but It Is feared that this Is due
not to fidelity, but to the strict legal
veto which obtains lnv France. Once
tho law's delay is at an end they go off

Norway has a sick lnsuranco law
which embraces all wage earners and

vides that the employer shall pay a
certain percentngo (onc-slxth) of the

for the whole, but may deduct from
tho wages of tho Insured at tho end of
tho term for which tho premium is
paid tho amount thus advanced. The

amounts to an extra tax upon tho em

when engaging their services that tho
Insurance picmlum shall bo paid In
