Office, he paid no attention to the bill.

Genesis Of Life Insurance.
Life insurance originated in 1706 in
London. In that year there was form
ed the first life insurance company. IL
was called the Amicable Society For a
Perpetual Assurance Office. 1t was
mutual benefit concern. Each mem
Der, without reference to age. paid
fixed admission fee and a fixed an
nual charge per share on from one to
three shares, and at the end OF the
year a portion of the fund accumulat-
edNwas divided among the heirs OF
those who had died In accordance with
the number of shares each dead per-
son had held. Out OF this company
with its crude and imperfect methods
life insurance as it exists today has
grown.

THE HEDGEHOG.

Tactics It Employs In Making q Meal
Of an Adder.
The hedgehog is the possessor of
tastes which. like Sam Weller's knowl-
edge Of London. are extensive and pc
culiar." says the Scotsman. Scoring
fastidiousness, 1t can make a hearty
meal Of nearly any insect and Is one
Of the vertebrates which can tackle
the cockroach. For effectual exter-
mination Of beetles and crickets it Is
as useful as a mongoose among the
rats. but it is not generally known that
it has Partially toward snakes and
adders.
The methods it employs for the at
tack are interesting. Having come
upon the adder. it goads that reptile
to the offensive and at the first dart
Immediately rolls into ball. The ad-
der is then left to attack the spines,
In which encounter it naturally comes
off second best After awhile, when
the hedgehog feels that his antagonist
has exhausted his power, it once more
opens out and makes a bite at the ad-
der's back, thereby breaking its spine.
It then proceeds to crunch the whole
of the reptiles body by means of its
powerful jaws, and after that 1t is
said to start at the tail and devour its
prey.

A Sensational Proohot.

One Of the most sensational OF
prophets was a Rosa negro named
Umhlakasa. who did his prophesying
in British KafIraria. Africa, in 1867
HIS niece had met some mysterious
strangers near a stream. and Umhla-
kasa, having gone to see them. report
ed that they were the spirits Of his
dead brother and others. They com.
municated a prophecy which rapidly
grew. On an appointed day In 1857
two blood red suns were to rise. the
sky would fall and crush the Fingos
and the whites. herds of splendid cat
tie would issue from, the ground. great
fields of ripe miIlet would spring up.
the Rosa dead would rise and live
with their descendants. and trouble
and sickness should be no more. Un-
happily there was a condition-the
Kosas must slaughter all their existing
cattle. And SO 100000 cattle. the
wealth and sustenance of the people.
were killed. and probably $1,000 cred
ulous natives starved themselves to
death.

Some time we're going to do king.
ly deed,
Or speak a helpful word to some
lone heart;
Some time we're going to plant the
living seed
In soil where it will thrive and do
its part.
Some time we'll stoop to help a
wearied soul
Which staggers underneath
heavy load;
Some time well pause. while rush
ing toward the goal,
To aid brother on the rocky
road.
Some time glad eyes will speak the
love they bear
Because OF favors which were
ours to show;
Some time in life's long day we'll
gladly share
The little blessings which are
ours to know.
Some time we're going TO stop the
ceaseless grind
This everlasting hurry-life we
live.
And be more loving, tender, true
and kind.
More thoughtful and more ready
to forgive.
Some time we'll cease to fret at
little cares.
And put away our foolish, timid
fears;
We will not look for pitfalls or for
snares.
Well speak no gossip for our
neighbours ears.
Some time We'll only see the good
in men.
Be blind to all the worthless and
the bad,
And recollect our own weak faults,
and then
Just strive to make the whole
world bright and glad.

FADS AND FASHIONS

The first premonitory signs of ap.
preaching winter make the subject of
furs form a component part. OF fur
coats there is a bewildering variety
and with a few exceptions they may
be called conservative and practical.
Fur garments, made of every magma
BILE kind of fur, are shown in great
profus IN and the prices demanded for
some of these garments or garnitures
are almost incredibly high.
The coats in general follow lines
much like those with which women be-
came familiar last winter, though the
cut of the coat naturally depends to
some extent upon the use to which it
IS to be put. The fur motor coat
shows width enough in it's skirt to al
low a comfortable sitting posture Of
the wearer without any falling away OF
the coat from over the knees, but the
dressy fur coat is very likely to mar
row slightly toward the bottom in
stead of widening, and it's fronts are
frequently cut away in more or less
pronounced fashion.
The fastening of this dressy long
coat is still placed low on the left side
most frequently. and some sort of big
picturesque collar is the rule, but there
are many exceptions to it.
Extravaganza in furs has grown by
leaps and bounds within the last fiji
teen years and each year the prices
demanded for really fine furs soar
higher. The reason is easily found in
the gradual determination of fur bear
ing animals throughout the world.
Seal has not the prestige it enjoyed
last winter, yet there are many hand
some long coats of French seal, the
genuine seal being now too costly to
few. Caracul is still favorite among
the less expensive coat furs and mole
skin is in high favor, and being as pill
able as velvet or plush, affords the
furriers opportunity for the exhibit
ton of skilful workmanship.
Combination of furs is salient fea-
ture of the seasons modes in both
the small furs and the coats and it is
rather exceptional to find handsome

coats. to whose beauty no other fur
could add. being the most noteworthy
EXCEPTIONS
MoIeshin is combined with seal, with
ermine. with the dyed fox OF soft taupe
tone. with skunk, with white fox.
Black Caracul is relieved by any and
all of the dark long haired furs, by
opossum, chinchilla and ermine. Seal
finds a lovely contrast in ermine, but
is trimmed with the long furs too.
Even the ermine coat sometimes has a
huge collar Of black fox or white fox,
though it is most effective when used
alone.
Chinchilla is becoming rarer every
year and before long will probably be
beyond the means Of any but the very
rich. Fine sables, silver fox, seal. err
mine, breitschwanz and other furs are
all increasing in price as they become
rarer. Each year the makers of fash
ion take UP some one of the less ex-
pensive furs and made it fad in or
der that the average woman may find
in the modishness of fur she can buy
some come compensation for the fact

Peculiar Experience Of Turkish Lit.

Once upon n tine Il certain Turkish
literary man living in Constantinople
arranged to translate for a daily news
paper u novel then popular in Eng
land. Each day be rendered suffi-
clent part Of it into the Turkish Ian
guage to fill the space reserved for 1t.
One day his peaceful home was en-
tered by the police. who peremptorily
arrested the man OF letters and drag
ged him Off to prison. No explanation
was given for his arrest The novel re-
aected in no way against the politics
OF the state. and he had broken no
laws. He was not even given time to
bid farewell to his family. but he was
commanded to bring the work under
translation with him. Arrived at the
prison. he was given pleasant quar-
tiers. good food and drink and sternly
commanded to complete his task. So
for several days the frightened trans.
lator worked arduously.
When the work was done he was. to
his establishment. Instantly liberated
and presented with a large sum OF
money. Upon further inquiry as to his
treatment it was explained that the
sultan had become interested in the
story as it appeared from day to day
end. He wanted to read all the rest Of
1t at once: Truly. there are certain ad-
vantages in being a sultan.
