"Why marry when you can get a good pension at the age of 40 by re- Laining single?" Such is the atartling and enticing notice exhibited in Hol- land. The object of this company is to provide a pension for females who have been able to withstand, up to that time of life, the alluring offera of the oppo- site sex. Only young girls are admitted as members.
Each member pays a small sum year- ly, beginning at the age of 13. Should a member so far forget herself as to contract a matrimonial alliance, she Immediately forfeits all her rights, Should she, on the other hand, remain single up to 40 years of age, she gets her pension. Many take advantage of This system and remain single until the time limit has expired, draw their pension and then marry.
The owner of an extensive bathing machine business at a well-known re- sort this summer hit upon a novel in- surance scheme. He had a large num- ber of coupons printed and offered them to his customers at one pence each; the coupon entitled the pur- chaser's heir to the sum of $1,250 should the holder of the ticket lose his life by drowning while using one of the pro- prietor's bathing machines. . The tick- ets were available for one day only.
The novel and original method of in- suring a person's life "caught on." nearly every customer purchased ticket, and as the mon's connection was a very large one, the sale of insur- ance tickets amounted daily to some hundreds, and at the same time it helped largely to increase his circle of patrons.

He was a journeyman of the restless kind. When he had heen three weeks in Milwaukee, then St. Paul seemed & more desirable place of residence. When in St. Paul he had a tired hanker Ing to see the Narcissus lodging house in Chicago. After he had arrived at the Narcissus he hegan to watch the trains starting for Cincinnati and longed to curl himself on a truck and jolt away to where the muddy stream fronts the sloping warehouses.
Once he was away from the Narcissus for a whole year. During his ahsence he had been "put away." To be "put. away" is to be held prisoner in a penal or reformatory institution.
The purpose of this story is to relate how "Gondola" Wilson, having no crim- insl intent, hecame a criminal under circumstances which, are not usual. On the day of his return to the Nar elssus (the prison pallor on his face and his head cropped to show the white scars) six inmates were sitting near the windows reading a morning news. paper. They had torn the paper into sheets and divided it. The man who

Finding Thackeray Ont. In Mr. Lewis Melville's recent life of Thackeray there is a diverting de- serlption of the first meeting of the great novelist and Charlotte Bronte. She had formed an ideal and expected him to live up to It, and, nustere little genius that she was, was inclined to he angry with ber favorites if their conversation or conduct fell below her Ideal. "Behold, a lion cometh out of the north!" she whispered, as he en- tered the room. "O Lord!" said Thackeray, when this was repeated to him, "and I'm nothing but & poor devil of an Englishman, ravenous for my dinner!" She sat opposite to him at table. "I had," he says, "the mis- erable humiliation of seeing her ideal of me disappearing down my own throat, as everything went into my month and nothing came out of 11.

ECONOMY OF FUEL.
The Range Should First of All Be lu Perfect Order-How to Put ou Conl.
To kindle any fire small sticks should he laid across each other, basket fash- ion, with paper helow. See that the drafts and dampers are all open, the upper front check closed, and apply the match hefore a bit of coal is put upon the wood. When it has begun to burn well, put on one shovelful, allowing the air to pass through unchecked so as to kindle that, In a short time more may be added, then more, and when the coal begins to glow red shut one draft. then another.
Turn out of doors the first person who dares to dream of using kerosene to help start a fire, and severely admon- ish her who persists in filling the fire- box to the top of stove or range. That is the way to burn out or crack the stove and to destroy the firebrick. Be- sides, it chokes the draft, causing less heat to be given out. A hot fire is a clear fire, with the draft coming un- checked through the bottom damper. The persons who hoil their tea are the same that. fill the range as full as it will bold, and when it fails, as it then must, to give out the needed beat, take off the cover and punch and poke it down from above, thus crowding the conl into a still more compact mass. Such a housekeeper has ber range speedily filled with clinkers and wastes much fuel.
A neglected range implies ignorance and indifference. How many there are who complain of a poor oven, yet allow soot to accumulate above and helow it. no census has estimated. Neglect ineans poor cooking and waste. Clink- ers. 100, should be watched for in the firehox and broken off as soon as they appear. It is a too enmmon fashion to fill the range. leave the dampers all open. and let the fire burn as it will till reduced to dehris. Then dump in more coal and throw in some kindlings first and continue as hefore. On the contrary. the fire should he watched and a little coal added at a time, with the dampers only opened before meal time. In this way alone can a good fire he economically maintained. For young housekeeper it is needful to note these things, Otherwise the ashes will he half coal, tn the detriment of the household exchequer .- Boston Budget.

SUGAR FOR SOLDIERS.
Some Experimenta Made lu Germany Prove Ita Value as a Strength- Imparting Rutlou.
A paper was read recently at Metz, Germany, hy Dr. Leitensdorfer, at & meeting of the local Army Surgeons' society, on the subject of the use of sugar ae food in the army., The lec- turer based his remarks upon personal observations. In three companies of soldiers ten men without means and of weak constitution were used for the tests, and ten stronger men to control the same. Before the experiments he- gan, the weight, pulse at rest and pulse at work, and respiration were taken for each individual. The stronger man having a pulse at rest of 80 or less showed an increase of 8 to 15 beats at work; the weaker ones. when sul- jected to the identical exercise, showed an increase as high as 30 beats above 90 or over.
The sugar men received seven, and later on ten to twelve lumps of sugar a day. each lump being equal to five grammes. In some cases the amount was increased up to 27 grammes n day. The result of the experiemnt was the Following: In scientific sense a favor- able influence upon the capacity of the individual was shown at 50 to 60 grammes a day, added to the regular ration, the pulse and respiration being lower while at work than with those not fed on sugar, and then the men fed on sugar showing an increase of weight greater than those who did not eat the sugar. The favorable influence of the sugar upon the muscles and the heart exhibited itself in greater endurance. From a practical point of view it was determined: 1. That men like sugar apd it agrees with them. 2. That sugar satisfies both hunger and thirst. 3. That sugar gives quick relief in case of hunger, faintness and exhaustion, ow. ing to the fact that it is easily ah- sorbed.
