Curious Insurance.

\ curious form Of life insurance is
springing up in French manufacturing
towns under the name Of La Fourmi
tthe anti. The popularity is that the
longer man lives the less he becomes
entitled to. The payment Of 81 Il month
assures the payment Of $1,000 TO the
heirs Of man dying before the age Of
8S, the payment diminishing proper
tionately To 500 AT 81. The idea seems
TO be that if a man dies Young his chill
dren are hkley to be in want, but that
when he is 80 they Will be able to earn
their living.

that it would be necessary to use rub

considered successful one, although
Gem evidently thought otherwise. SoHe

he heard his pitiful cry for water.

groaned the Federal, as he dropped his
head to the ground. while his whole
body quivsred with agony.
"Then l beheld an act of heroism which
held me spellbound until it was too late
for me to give the assistance which l
should have rendered. The Confederate
lifted his head again and took another
look at his wounded foe, and ! saw an
expression of tender pity come over his
distorted face. as he said:
"Hold out little longer, Yank. and
I'll try to come to you. Then the brave
fellow, by digging his fingers in the
ground and catching hold Of the corn
