A Hypnatixad Bird.

AZ interesting instance of the hyp-
motto power possessed by a good many
animals is given by a correspondent
of the Glasgow Herald. One morning
outside Elgin blackbird was OBJ
served to be standing by the roadside
paying no heed to the footsteps of the
passerby. It was gazing fixedly at
four young weasels under the hedge,
which were approaching in a semi
circle, apparently to surround it. Just
then warning cry was heard from
behind. uttered presumably by the
parent weasel, and the young ones dis
appeared in the hedge. The bird still
remained powerless and immoyable,
and only after repeated urging did it
fly to a tree near by, when it gave
forth weak, frightened sound, as
though still under the influence of the
terror which had arrested its facul-
ties.

PARADISE FOR SUFFRAGISTS
Where Feminism Is in
Full Swing.

A French explorer just returned
from Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile. Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates of womans rights advising them
TO leave at once for the Sahara, or
rather to that district inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs, says the explorer, are
crafty cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminsm The
Tuareg women are indeed privileged
beings. They have camels of their
own, which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, so 10 say, nil.
They are allowed to have an adj
mirer who saddles their camels and
runs errands for them. According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of this
admirer must remain strictly platonic,
for if he starts making love to the
lady the husband flies into temper
and an angry Tuareg becomes a dan
gerous creature.
According to the laws of the coun.
try the Tuareg woman need not fol
low her husband unless she wants to
do so, nor is she compelled to serve
her spouse She is educated, for she
can read, and this accomplishment
not shared by the other six, gives her
a privileged position in so far that she
acts as judge or arbitrator in all diff
cult cases.

of clock. which was the successor OF
the water clock, which was in domes
