PROVISIONS FOR OLD AGE.
From an article in the Londoni
Economist the following details
concerning the new act passed
by the Canadian Parliament, es
tablishing a bureau for the sale
of annuities to workinginen, are
taken:
In the establishment of the
bureau, the erovern ment is not
C7
involved in any pecuniary re
sponsibility beyond the mere
cost of furnishing the machinery
which will not exceed $25,000
The smallest annuity that can
be purchased . is $50, and the
largest $600. Except for cer
tain reasons, ordinary annuities
are payable till the annuitant
has reached the age of 55. They
cannot be seized for debt, are
not transferable, while money
once paid in ou account cannot
be withdrawn. If payments are
interrupted by sickness, : loss of
employment, or any other cause,
they may be renewed at any
time. Payments may be made
weekly, monthly, or yearly, or
in lump sums, as is most conve
nient. A workingman who at the age
of 30 begins to pay 25 cents a
"week, obtains at the age of 55
an ordinary annuity of $47, or
if he continues his weekly pay
ments till he is 70 he thereafter
receives nearly $200 annually.
For the same weekly payment
begun at 20 he receives at 60 an
annuity of $130, and if he leaves
it on deposit with the govern
ment on the understanding that
it shall be employed to purchase
additional amounts of annuity to
commence at 65, he receives a
futher sum of $80, making his
total annuity at 65 $210. If, at
20, he begins with a lump sum
of $10, followed by a weekly pay
ment of 25 cents, with lump
sums of $10 every five years, ua
til he is 60, he is entitled to an
annuity of $151; but if his , em
ployer adds $10 a year the annu
ity at 60 becomes $253, and in
the event of the annuitant's dy
ing, say at 50, his heirs receive
$1215; or if the employe pays
25 cents per week and the em
ployer $10 a year, the annuity at
60 is $231, and if the annuitant
dies at 50 his heirs get $1110,
A man may at 40, by a single de-
ieve that marriage is the secret
goal of every woman, and that
those of us who are over 20 and
still single are more or less
blighted beings. There is no
use quarreling with this fatuous
tradition of the self-satisfied sex.
Let it suffice that women know it
is not so.
"It seems to me impossible to
generalize concerning the sup
eriority as wives of one class of
woman over another. Uuques
tionably the woman who, has
worked for money and who has
had to strike a weekly balance
between a fixed income and fix
ed expenses makes a more prac
tide and perhaps a more con
siderate wife than the more shel
tered and dependent girl. who
has lived at home. She has great
er responsibility, and for the
man who is seeking for tho
qualities she would be the better
helpmate. -But not all men seek
practical wives. Often the most
silly, frivolous little creature of
our acquaintance makes her bus
band happy by her very silliness
and frivolity. A man loves
woman not - for her points of
similarity to him, but her points
of difference. He may look up.

The new North German Lloyd liner
George Washington which recently ar
rived at New .York on her maiden voy
age from Bremen, in addition to being
the largest German ship and the third
largest vessel afloat. Is different in
every way in her Interior decorations
from any liner that has ever been In
New York. The roominess of the
cabins and saloons harmonizes with
the colonial style of the decorations.
Tbe dining saloon, which-has a seat
ing capacity 'of 350 persons, is dec
orated In white and gold, with red
morocco chairs and a gilded dome,
while the sides are adorned with floral
designs on a blue background. Each
table has been arranged to seat from
two to six persons, and the chairs are
roomy and movable. On either side of
the saloon there are a number of white
painted colonial pillars that give It
more the appearance of a southern
hotel dining room rather than that of
a saloon of an Atantic liner. A cold
buffet at one end Is another of the
numerous Innovations on board.
Ipeaker of the House Received Stick
of Licorice From New . Yorker.
' One of the most : curious gifts that
have ever been received by Speaker
Cannon came to him recently from A.
W. Ten Eyck of New York. It was a'
small stick of licorice Inclosed in a..
common envelope without a word of
comment, says a Washington dispatch.
The package lay in the New York post-
office for' ten days because of insuffi
cient postage. It was finally forward
ed by Postmaster Morgan and opened
by L. Whyte Busbey. the speaker's
secretary.
The round tube of licorice was exam
ined gingerly before it was shown to
the speaker In order that Its Identity
might be fully determined. ' ' ,
'It might be a bomb," was the sug
gestion made by a visitor to the speak
er's room.
'No," answered Mr. Cannon. "It was
probably sent by some friend to break
me of the tobacco habit"
Mr. Busbey says that, the licorice is
one or tne strangest bits or corre
spondence be has ever been called on
to .answer. Some time ago a match
and a piece of bologna sausage were
sent to the speaker, but the name of
the sender was not given.
One of the most attractive parts of

from the investment or use "of any smoking room, which Is divided In two
sections, upper ana lower, wnicn are

smoking room, which leads out to the
open cafe on the awning deck. This
cafe Is equipped with small tables and
chairs for passengers to take their

Famous Cambridge University Honor
Won by Chilean Student.
The last senior wranglership to be
given by Cambridge university in Eng
land was awarded to P. J. Daniel of
Valparaiso, Chile. Mynott Neville of
London obtained second place, and
Louis J. Wordell, son of Phineas Wor
dell of Philadelphia, was third.
The keenest interest was taken in
this competition, and the presence of
the South American students gave the
contest an international aspect.
Louis J. : Wordell. who came near
winning the last senior wrangleship,
is anxious that a wrong impression
should not get abroad respecting his
objections to being coached for the
examination. . x
"If I bad been coached," he said, "1
should not have done as well as 1 did.
This 1 know from past experience."
For the last 150 years and probably
longer the "term senior wrangler has
been given at Cambridge to the man
who was first in the annual examina
tion qualifying for the bachelor of arts
degree In mathematical honors. The
custom now has been abolished.

iV STRANGE CASE
OF HEREDITY.
By T. DE WITT BOWMAN.
Copyright, 1909. by American Press Asso
ciation.!
From" my "earliest remembrance 1
lived with Patrick Coulter, an Irish
man. All 1 knew about him up to the
time I was twelve years old was that
he was Mr. Coulter, and 1 was George
Bissell. I "was given to understand by
him that he bad taken uie as an or
phan .and was bringing me up. i cer
tainly was not allied to him by blood.
for I was as refined in appearance as
any gentleman's son. while Mr. Coul
ter showed . unmistakable' signs of
plebeian origin. He was short, red
faced, thickset.' rotund' and with griz-
sly gray hair. He wore on bis face a
perpetual sour expression. 1 confess
that, although 1 was given to under
stand that I owed him everything, I
bated him. . , ,
And I had every reason to hate him,
for he bated me. He was always
surly to me and never even in odd mo
ments showed any affection for me.
Only In one way did he manifest any
interest in me. He would occasionally
have fits of generosity with me. giving
me money quite freely, but always Im
pressing 'it upon me that he was very
good to do so and that 1 should ap
preciate his kindness. He also seemed
to be troubled with a continued fear
of losing me.
The only knowledge he possessed
was that of tfgures. He wrote a good
clerical band, and 1 remember that
such accounts as 1 happened on that
were made by him had a methodical
look.
When I was twelve years old I one
day found Mr. Coulter in conversation
witb a lean, hungry looking man. who,
when I entered, asked, "Is this the
boy?" and Mr. Coulter grumbled a low
'Tea." The man looked at me curi
ously, and when he went away I saw
him putting a lot of bills in bis pocket-book.-
He came after that from time
to time, and on several occasions when
I happened to see him depart he had
evidently received something. His vis
its were always accompanied by bad
humor on the part of Mr. Coulter, and
once I overheard high words between
them, -
The most remarkable bit of treat
ment I received from Mr. Coulter was
a good education. When I came to be
eighteen I longed to go to college and -
begged very hard to be sent to a uni
versity. He demurred, but at last con
sented, telling me that I should always
remember that be bad pinched himself
to send me. At college I formed the
pleasantest : associations and often
spent my vacations witb my college
chums.- "M'r. Coulter was greatly vexed
at this, but as I was growing to be
more of a man every day. and he was .
growing old and seemingly a trifle
afraid of me, I usually bad my way.
At leavmg college I wished to study
the law. but for some reason Mr. Coul
ter took a strong dislike to my adopt
ing this profession, and in this In
stance, holding the purse strings, he
conquered.
One day while I was thinking what
I would do to make myself independ
ent I had occasion to bunt for a letter
1 had mislaid. Mr. Coulter was not in
the bouse, and I rummaged all over
It Finally 1 got Into the garret. There
were several trunks there, all locked.
and an old desk. Protruding from an
under portion of the desk I noticed the
corner of a paper. I pulled It out and
read it. There was nothing In it that
I knew anything about, but the band
writing attracted my attention at once.
Indeed, it was so like mine that for a
time I supposed I had written It and
wondered how It could have come to
be where it was. I put it In my pock
et and studied it. The next time Mr.
Coulter left me alone In the house I
went back to the garret and hunted
till I found a letter in the same hand
writing. This time I was astonished.
It appeared to have been signed by
me. At any rate, it was my name and
my handwriting. It had been written
to Mr. Coulter from abroad and gave
Instructions in the matter of certain
properties possessed by the writer and
evidently managed by Coulter.
I folded the letter, put it in my
pocket, took It down to my room.
locked the door and never gave over
making theories with regard to the
matter till I struck the right one. The
writer of the letter was evidently my
father or a near relative. Without
ever having seen his handwriting, he
redity had determined that as 1 grew
to manhood I should adopt it 1 then
and there determined, maintaining a
perfect secrecy between myself and
Mr. Coulter, to make an Investigation.
I unearthed a great swindle. The
steps I took to do so would form a.
separate story. The tracks of the man
who had done the swindling had been
so adroitly covered that 1 was obliged
to proceed step by step and very slow
ly. I knew in a few months all I
ever came to know, but to untangle my
discoveries so as to turn them Into
proof required a year. When I had
untied the last knot 1 went one day
Into Mr. Coulter's study and. laying a
lot of papers on his desk before which
he sat, said: .
"Take your choice between signing
those or going to tne penitentiary .
He looked up at me white as a sheet,
then, taking up the papers, signed
every one of them without ' reading
them, putting me In possession of a
large fortune.

abroad, leaving roe. -a baby. In bis sis
