THE ORIGIN OF WOMEN.

The inhabitants of Madagascar have
a strange myth touching the origin of
woman. They say that the first man
was created of the dust of the earth. and
was placed in a garden. where he was
subject to none of the ills which now af-
fiict mortality he was also free from
all bodily appetites, and though sur
rounded by delicious fruit and limpid
streams, yet felt no desire to taste of the
fruit nor quaff the water The Creator
had. moreover, strictly forbidden him
either to eat or to drink. The great en-
envy. however, came to him. and painted
to him in glowing colors the sweetnos SIS
of the apple, the lusciousness of the date
and the succulence of the orange In
vain; the first man remem bered the
command laid upon him by his Maker
Then the fiend assumed the appearance
of an effulgent spirit and pretended to
be messenger from heaven, command
ing him to eat and drink. The man at
once obeyed. Shortly after a pimple
appeared on his leg: the spot enlarged
into a tumor, which increased in size
and caused him considerable annoy
ance. At the end of six months it burst
and there emerged from the limb a
beautiful girl The father of all living
turned her this way and that way. sore
ly perpleXed and uncertain whether to
pitch her into the water or give her to
the pigs. when a messenger from heaven
appeared and told him to let her run
about the garden till she was of a mar
rageable age. He called her Bahount,
and she became the mother of all races
of men.-Baring Gould.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
: A LOST STORY OF NAPOLEON ;

The following incident in the life of
the Emperor Napoleon during his incar-
ceration at St. Helena was told to me
by a friend who spent many years on the
island. The story, he informed me, was
mentioned, who was prepared to vouch
for its accuracy, asserting that the facts
had been suppressed by the British
government to prevent panic through
out Europe.
1T is a well-known fact that Napoleon
highly resented what he was pleased to
consider the cruelty of the British ma
ton in restraining his liberty in any
measure; and, further, he detested the
lonely rock upon which his residence was
situated, believing he had been placed
1000 feet in the air in order that his eX-
istence might be speedily terminated.

tation and life cease" he said to Dr.
Antommarchi. British magnanimity

1t is equally we'll krown that Napoleon
heartily hated Sir Hudson Lowe, the
governor of st. Helena, and that mary
stormy scenes took place between them.
He is a fool-a coarse mani" said
Napoleon. On all occasions he was
ready to vent his spleen against his
gaoler, evidently forgetting that many
of the unseemly quarrels which arose
were due to the fretful petulance of the
chained eagle of France. 1t was during
this period, when-whatever political
motives the emperor might have had
he assuredly had certain private and do
mestic reasons for wishing to exchange

Insurance Companies Will Build a
Sanitarium

The large and enormously wealthy in
surance companies are considering a
scheme to prolong human life. 1t is
not a newborn spirit of philanthropy
that has actuated them, but strictly
businesslike, though in every way laud-
able, desire to save themselves from
financial loss by availing themselves of
the best medical skill and appliances.
Steps are now being taken by these
companies which will result in the build
ing of a sanitarium for the express pur-
pose of prolonging the lives of consump-
tive policy holders. 1t Is pure matter
Of business. They believe that they will
be able to save an immense amount of
money by providing sanitariums for
those of their policy holders who are
affected with tuberculosis, instead OF
allowing the disease to proceed un-
checked until it results in the premature
death of the policy holder.
The sanitarium will fulfill the medical
and surgical ideal. Every method known
to science and art will be employed, and
every theory advanced by the great tscr-
entists of the world to check the inva-
sion Of the dread fSeaSe Will be promptly
tried so that hereafter the consumptive
who is fortunate enough to hold policy
in one of the companies connected with
the sanitarium may feel confident that
he will be enabled to live as long as there
is any human way OF keeping the breath
of human life in his body
1t is believed, too, that the influence
of all this upon the patients mental at
titude will act beneficially upon his
health, for he will not only have the feel
ing that his family will be provided for
after his death, but also that ne will have
assurance that the best medical care in
the world has been given to him. and
that no millionaire who ever lived could
have any better.
pr. A. jacob of New York city, who
has made a study of somewhat SINH

that under patient care and skillful
treatment many consumptives have
been restored to usefulness in the COM

great sanitarium in America, however,

ist of Denver, Colo.
One of the early results which is ex-
pected from the establishment of the in
surance sanitarium is that the time will
soon come when consumptives. no less
than persons in good health, will be in
sured by the companies. This is no
theory, but, according to Mr.. Halsey,
vice president of the Manhattan Life
company, is policy that will be forced
upon the American companies.
Already those in Germany having the
sanitarium system in operation are
planning to have their representative
branches in this country take such risks.
and the American companies will have
to defend themselves by doing the same,
