Animals That Trouble nanchers.

The kangaroo plague has always been
a great nuisance to the Australian SQUAT
tiers, for on an average these animals
consume us much grass as sheep. 1t
is stated that on sheep run of go, 900 %
$4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were killed
annually for six consecutive years, and
yet their numbers remained very for
midable in the locality. In the colony
of South Australia hundreds of thou
sands of kangaroos are slaughtered an
nually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The number
of these marsupials in New South Wales
in 1889 was estimated to be over 4,000,-
900, and yet about 500, 900 kangaroos and
650,000 wallabies were destroyed in the
colony in that year.
A bonus Of 16 cents for each kangaroo
killed is offered in Australia; hence the
colonists are gradually exterminating
these native animals. Over half million
skins are annually shipped to England
and q large number to North America
to be converted into leather. Hard

rombs of the Ancient Prophets.

There exist in parts of Islam many
tonbs of the Prophet Daniel. Of these
one of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish us. The Mus
sulmans admit without hesitation the
duplication or even indefinite multiple
cation of the bodies of holy persons with
out their veneration for each of the re-
mains being diminished in the least. It
is worth noting that the nature of the
honorary qualifications accorded to the
same saint varies in different countries.
Thus, for example, Daniel has at Cairo
The name Of Nebbi-D anial-that is, they
give him the title of prophet, as being at
the same time that which suits him best
and is the most honorable they can con-
fer. In Algeria or Morocco -feudal coun-
tries-the title they give to saints is Sidi.
which signifies lord, which is also the
title there of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those canonized persons whom they re-
spect most, as to the Prophet Daniel, the
title Of Khosdja, which means in Arabic
writer or lettered. DIES Deux

To Elect a President In February.

e. propose that the national election
day, instead Of being set for the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
yember, be set for the 22d of February.
If we adopt George Washington's in
auguration day for our national revolu-
ton, why shall we not adopt his birth
day as the date for its ali important pre-
liminary? If the persons who favor set
ting inauguration day for the LIST of JAN
uary really desire thus to reduce the in
terval between election and Inauguration
to two months, my plan would effect
substantially the same purpose.
It would provide an election day dur
ing just as much Of an ''off season" as
the present one. Farmers and others
who find early November the most con-
venient time to go to their polling places
would be just as little bound down by
work at the latter end of February as at
the beginning of November, and the
weather and the roads would certainly
be in no worse condition.-V. T. Raun

UNION MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.

1t is not given to every man to live in
a mansion, but for that treason people of
limited means do not decline to live in
a cottage; and by parity of reasoning,
while it is not within the means of all to
carry Ten or Twenty Thousand dollars
of Insurance, people of more limited
means will find it equally to their advan-
tage to partake of such smaller sums
as may be within their reach.
Thus, when a man is married and has
a family around him, it is source of
pleasure to own absolutely the house in
which they reside, but it is obvious that
every one cannot own his abode, and just
here, one of the many advantages to
which the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company's Trust Policies can be put
presents ITSELF
Suppose man aged 80 years resides
in house, the rent of which is 5000 per
year, if he has not the means to buy the
same. a payment to the Union Mutual of
SIS per year-less than one dollar and
half per week-would secure the neces-
sary 5000 for rent for aperiod extending
25 years subsequent to his death, thereby
relieving him of all care and anxiety in
cident to the maintenance of roof over
the heads of his wife and children, should
he be prematurely removed.
The thousand and one ways in which
the Trust Policies of the Union Mutual
can be utilized, preclude, for want of
of space-even their bare mention.
An Insurance journal in recent issue
said There are so many various plans
for life insuring, that no doubt it would
puzzle the most competent actuary or
experienced life insurance canvasser to
decide which would be exactly the best
one for the insured. However, the I'm
ion Mutual Life is issuing what it terms
a Limited Payment Life Trust Tontine
Policy which at once strikes the judg-
ment that it's provisions will better an
