Annuities For Single Women.

The question of providing annuities for
daughters, after the English and French
manner, is being discussed in Philadel-
phia, which city has large contingent
of attractive unmarried young women.
1t is asserted that these annuities can
now be had in this country, as abroad,
and it is pointed out that one bought and
kept up for terms of years, and per-
haps increased, secures comfort and in
dependence to the daughter who does not
marry.
Considering the same topic from anoth-
or standpoint, the Boston Home Journal
speaks of society for this purpose that
has long been in operation throughout
Denmark and works well and proftably.
"The general outline of the plan. it
seems, is that lady who does not feel
sure that she means to be married or
wants to be married should pay an an
nual premium to the central Office. She
receives form of policy duly executed,
and upon condition that she pays her
annual premiums with regularity she
will receive at the age Of 40 round
sum, proportionate to the extent of her
investments, and with probably certain
bonuses"

THE CURIOUS LEMMlNe.
A Remarkable Animal Found In the High
lands of Norway and Sweden.

a Remarkable Animal Found In the High
lands of Norway and Sweden.
Very nearly related to the field mice
are the jennings, which are in their
way among the most remarkable of ami
mails. They are about five inches long,
with very short tails. Dwelling in the
highlands of the great central mountain
chain of Norway and Sweden, they build
their nests Of straw lined with hair un-
der stones and tussocks of grass. They
are very pugnacious. When disturbed,
instead of trying to escape, they sit up
right, kissing and showing fight.
Certain cultivated districts Of Sweden
and Norway, where these creatures are
ordinarily unknown, are occasionally,
at intervals of from to % years, over
run by armies of them, which stead
lily and slowly advance, always in the
same direction, regardless of all OBJ
stacles, swimming across streams and
even lakes several miles in breadth and
committing great devastation. In turn
they are pursued and harassed by
crowds of beasts and birds of prey, such
as bears, wolves, foxes, wildcats, wea-
sells, eagles, hawks and owls. Even do
mestic animals-cattle, goats and rein
deer-join in the hunt.
None of these migrant jennings ever
returns by the course from which il
came. The onward march of the sur
vivors never ceases until they reach the
sea, into which they plunge, and swim
ming onward in the same direction as
before perish in the waves.
AS a matter of fact, the jennings
which perish in the sea are acting under
the same blind impulse that led them
previously to cross smaller pieces of wa
ter in safety. No survivors of the mi
grating hordes ever live to transmit
their final and fatal experience to sub
sequent generations, and so this gigan-
tic mistake is periodically repeated.
Abnormal increase of number and
consequent necessity for food bring
about the migration from the highlands
to the lowlands, winding up in the
ocean. The animals only travel at night
and pause when they find sustenance
plentiful. Exhaustion of the food sup
ply compels them to proceed. Natural
ly they would not turn back on their
tracks, the region behind being eaten
bare. 1t is curious fact that during
these journeys they multiply enormous
ly and even more rapidly than at home.
Such a migration lasts from one to three
years. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

gigantic scale, from the palms in tho
chancel, 80 feet high and hung with or
chids, to the two wedding cakes. each
weighing $50 pounds, brought in vans
and set up by the caterers men into
structures of feet in height. A list of
distinguished names figure as donors of
gifts, some of the names rather outstrip-
ping the present, it seems to the casual
reader-as, for instance, the Earl of
Craven, who is credited with a pencil
case, and the Duchess of Marlborough a
blotting book. But the bride had no
cause to complain. Her father emptied
a jewelers. shop into her lap, and her
husband picked up few baubles for
her, such as a diamond link necklace,
diamond wing comb, gold bracelet,
with his name, James," in diamonds,
diamond and ruby ring, diamond and

walking stick and some others. 1t was

questioned. 1--WE can eat sheep, and

We Killed a Bear.

preached a sermon against woman suf-
frage on a recent Sunday morning, being
greatly concerned lest the bad women
should outvote the good women. The
Ann Arbor Democrat reviews the SER
mon and calls attention to the fact that
"there are so few bad women, compare
lively speaking, that as class they new
er attempt to assert themselves in any
place of civil government whatever. F"
The Democrat says that Mr.. Bradshaw's
sermon carried little conviction and pro-
ceeds to console him in this fashion:
"Be sure, women will vote, the con
servatives to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, and when that day comes bad men
and women will largely become factor
Of forgotten history, while the present
opponents of the cause will grasp the
hand of the pioneer and proudly ex-
claim, We killed bear, didn't we, Peg

Mrs. Bradwell studied law under her
husband for several years. She was the
first woman who was made member of
