DEATHS OF WILD ANIMALS,
Most of tho Untame Brutcs Come to vio-
lent and Untimelv End.

Most OF tho Untame Brutes Come to n vio-
lent and Untimely End.
The circumstances that attend the
illness and death of wild animals are
perhaps less we'll known than any other
part Of their history. Yet when we
consider that animal life, though in
some species of great duration, is nat
urally brief and liable to an indefinite
number of accidents without remedy
and sudden dangers unforeseen, the sub
ject Ct the last days of the nobler sort
of beasts has certain pathetic inter-
est. No doubt all animals, from the
healthy and natural lives they lead,
have strange powers of self-cure in
case of accident. Those whose profess
sion it is to prepare the skeletons of
wild beasts, large and small. for mu-
seums and laboratories speak with sur
prise of the number of injuries and
fractures which the bones exhibit but
which have set themselves in rough
but effective fashion.
But the chapter of accidents" in
animal life spares none, from the stays
which die with horns locked together
on the mountain side to the locusts
which impale themselves upon the
barbed wire of the Transvaal farms or
the cicades which rend their wings
upon the thorns of the mimosa. Death
by violence seems to be the rule in the
lower forms of animal life, except in
the case of sudden plaques or changes
of season. Only to the largest quad
rupeds has human fancy conceded the
boon of natural and perhaps painless
death and the remote, untrodden jun
gle, where the elephants go to die, lies
still among the undiscovered coun.
tries. London Spectator.

For Women In Engli,b warehouses.

The duchess of Portland and tho
countess of Meath are bestirring them
selves with the beneficent object of pro-
viding little comforts and amusements
for the poor old women in English
warehouses. Already Lady Meath's
scheme for supplying material for
needlework, knitting and other occu-
pations for work-house inmates has
been carried out in several unions
The duchess of Rutland has now come
forward to plead for gifts of news
papers, magazines and books for old
female paupers; and as an instance of
the keen interest in what is going on
outside the dismal walls of their abode

The book Publishing business was
one of the first to be entered by women
when they began their advancement
into the lines OF business formerly car
ried on exclusively by men. Chicago
has many successful women publishers,
but none better known than DR.. Alice
B. Stocllham, distinguished physi-
clan, author and publisher. DR. Stock
ham was born of quaker parents in
New England. When but three years
old her parents cmigrated to Michigan,
where they lived in little log cabin

already interested in the art of healing.
having adopted the Thompsonian
method, and soon were treating their
neighbors for miles around. When
Alice was fourteen years of age hydro
pathy became the rage and, her parents
espousing it, the young girl became
greatly interested in it. Advantages OF
education had been very limited through
her earlier years. but she was sent to
Olivet college, where she paid her way
by working nights and mornings and
teaching during vacations. At the age
of eighteen she met Emma r. Coe,
lady lawyer. Not liking school teach
ing as profession, she asked Mrs Goes
advice as to what she should take up.
why not study incidence" asked
Mrs. Coe; you remind me of DR.. Har-
riet X. Hunt, in Boston, who is success
full"
Others advised the same thing and
two years afterward the young woman
found herself in the Eclectic college in
Cincinnati, the only medical college
then admitting women. At the age OF
twenty three she was married to 4 ply
sician and the two practiced medicine
together for many year. Then she was
induced to write the book which has
since made her famous, ''Tokology: A
Book for Every Woman" She was not
satisfied to allow the publishers to reap
the lions share of the profits, so she de-
cided to be the lion herself. In six
years she has built the Sanitary Pub
fishing house, which does large bust
ness and employs many hands.
Like her parents DR.. Stockham has
always been interested in philanthropy
and since she has acquired wealth has
been leader in several benevolent en-
terprses. The cause of the kindergar-
ten has been very near her heart and
for long time she sustained free kim

very pleasant to her parent. Shortly
