why Are There Unmarried women.


One of the greatest social problems OF
the day is to explain why there are so
many marriageable women who never
get married. Some say it is owning to
an excess in numbers of women over
men, in consequence of which there are
not husbands enough to go round. This,
however is disapproved by statistics.
Take the world through and figures show
that there are as many men in it as
there are women. Others attribute it
to the expensiveness of modern life.
Men do not marry because, it is said,
they cannot afford to. But the fact is
that no man who truly loved woman
ever hesitated to become engaged to
her because of poverty. They are cold
blooded men, with no idea Of any feel
ing for woman stronger than languid
admiration, who may be deferred from
assuming what they regard as a burden
in the shape of wife, unless assured OF
a liberal income, but most are not so
calculating. Others, again, attribute the
evil to womens fastidiousness. They
expect too much in a husband, and,
while waiting for an impossible shadow,
lea the possible substance slip through
their fingers. This is Ii bel on the sex.
As rule, they are no more fastidious
than men are. and are Just as suscepti-
BILE as men to that enchantment of love
which invests its object with every per.
fection and covers up every fault. So
tar as men and women are concerned,
they are as prone to marriage nov as in
any period of the worlds histor,. New
ertheless, there are women waiting for
husbands and not getting them. They
are pretty, they are accomplished, they
are sensible, and, under proper training,
they would make excellent wives and
mothers, but they never get chance.
What seems to be needed is more
thorough method of bringing men and
women into social contact with each
other,

Is Insanity Increasing?
New York sun.


In England III 1853, with a population
of l9,6S6,70l, there were known 1877 in
sane and idiotic persons to each 100000
inhabitants, or one in every 535. In
1875 the number had increased to 271 in
every 100000, or one in each 365. In
France the number of insane in the asv-
lums nearly quadrupled between 1885
and 1870, and also increased from 3l.6 in
each 100000 OF the population to 1908,
or very nearly three times. In Paris
alone the admissions to insane asylums
increased more than skiold between
1900 and 1876, while in the same time
the population was scarcely trebled. In
Massachusetts, the number OF insane in
the asylums has increased in fifty-nine
years from 80 to 2,976, and the rate pro-
portionately to the popslation has aug
mented more than eighteen times. The
number OF insane in the State at present
who are not in asylums is also estimated
TO be between 1000 and 800.

With regard TO the source of honey,
these ants are not known 10 feast on
flowers, like bees and some of our home
ants, nor could any trace be found of the
aphis, or ant-cow, which many of our
ants milk for its honey.
The -gatherer is difficult TO OBJ
serve. 1t is nocturnal ant, keeping
out Of sight Of the sun during the day.
and only venturing forth at nightfall in
search of food. DIR. NcCook observed
them; in the summer twilight, marching
outward from the nest in long columns
and pursuing night after night the same
paths. He watched them for a consider
able time before he succeeded in finding
the goal of these nightly expeditions.
At length discovering some ants on a
species of scruo oak, which grew abund-
antly at the foot OF the ridge, he observ-
ed that they showed marked prefer
ence for certain small oak gals which
were ranged along the sides of the
cliffs.
The next thing TO be done was to ex-
anime these gals. We are accustomed
to associate gals with the idea of Bit
terness only, yet they proved to be the
true honey -yielders. On the round
green masses minute drops of sweet
juice were found; this the ants eagerly
licked up, passing from gall to gall until
laden, or returning TO the original gall
at later Eour when fresh sweetness
had exuded from it.
The gall-nut, it is well known, is an
excrescence upon the leaves of species
of oak; it is produced by the puncture
of small hymenopterous insect for the
purpose of depositing its eggs. A min
ute grub lies in the centre of the soft
mass which composes the gall. Wheth-
er the sweet juice came from this grub,
or from the sap of the tree, was not
readily to be discovered, though it was
most likely an exudation of the sap.
All night the busy gatherers of sweets
were occupied in collecting honey from
the gals. Toward morning they were
seen in great numbers returning to the
nest, their bodies swollen with the
nights harvest of honey, which, as we
have said, is given to the living honey
combs within, being forced from the
bodies of the workers and into the
mouths of the honey-bearers, until by
the time the season is over they present
a remarkable distention.
This is about all that is known at pre-
sent concerning the habits of these
strange ants. They very likely have
other sources of honey at other seasons;
but the most interesting fact is the sur
prsing mode of storage of this sweet
food.
In New Mexico the inhabitants put
these ants to very peculiar use, supple
menting their dinners with a plateful OF
honey-ants for dessert. The overladen
insects wait in enforced patience while
the preceding courses of the dinner ale
being eaten. The mode of partrking OF
this strange dessert is to pick up an ant
nip the honey bag with the teeth, fore.
ing its sweet contents into the mouth
while the remainder is thrown away
We are told that this is not so disagree.
able habit as it might at first seem
the skin surrounding the honey being
reduced to a thin, transparent mem
brane, with nothing necessarily unpleas
ant in its character. Nevertheless, mos
of us will prefer to continue indebted tC
the bee for our supply of honey, leaving
The ants to enjoy the fruits of their owl
labOrs.
