SUSAN B. ANTHONY is of the opinion
that we are on the verge of an era of
unmarried women. Our civilization,
she says, is changing. Daughters cam
not be supported al home and there is
nothing there to busy them. The
women used to spin and weave, make
carpets and soap, but now all that is
done for them in the factories. Young
men do not make enough money to
a craze for dissipation among them
that the women would rather go into a
store for almost nothing than to marry.

An Omaha judge has introduced a
new feature In divorce legislation. A
mans wife sued him for divorce and
then, becoming reconciled to her hus-
band, abandoned prosecution. Her at
torney presented bill of $500, which
she refused to pay. He then sued the
husband for the bill and recovered, the
judge holding that divorces are neces-
sary of life. 1t is difficult to see how a
divorce, which the wife herself de-
clared that she did not want, could
have been so considered. If husbands
are to be liable for their wives divorce
bills, responsibility of serious impor-
tance has been added to matrimony.

A Frogs Cunning.

A naturalist paper relates an inter
esting incident of frogs cunning. A
brood of chickens was fed with moist
ened meal in saucers and when the
dough soured little it attracted large
numbers of flies. An observant toad
had evidently noticed this and every
day toward evening he woul make his
appearance in the yard, hop to sau-
Ger, climb in and roll over and over un-
til he was covered with meal, having
done which he awaited developments.
The flies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmedaround the scheming batrach-
ian, and whenever one passed with
in two inches or so of his nose his
tongue darted out and the fly disap.

THE MISERABLE MILLIONAIRE.

I am so very very rich it is nuisance quite;
1t keeps me anxious all day long and wide
awake at night
My bonds they are so many that it makes nv
fingers sore
To cut off all the coupons, which 1 deem o
have six villas in the hills, and seven by the
sea,
But they're no joy but aggravations rather unto
me;
For when the summer season comes I'm al
ways full of woe,
Because can't make up my mind to which of
them I'll 60
have stable full of rigs and horses for each
one,
Yet though they're all of blooded stock my
horses 1 must shun,
Because when I'd go driving in my sullxy or my
brake,
I cannot seem to choose the one 'twould please
me best to take.
Upon the water tbs the same. I've craft of
every kind
From dingies up to steamers swift that leave
all else behind,
And yet never venture out upon the sound or
sea
Because my mind and do not seem able to
agree.
Now wealth is very lovely and there's much
that it will buy,
But t is a sorry burden for fellow such as I,
For just the thing I need the most gold helps
me not to find
And that as you may guess In briefs a firm and
stable mind.
