A noticeable feature of the present
campaign is an absence Of the street
parades by the campaign organizations
This foolish and expensive kind of cam
paign work was evidently run into the
ground four years ago and has not yet
quite resuirected. OF course there will
be some parading with the glare Of
torches and the blare Of bands in the
short intervening space between now and
the eventful day in November, but IL can
hardly come up TO that Of the Blaine and
Cleveland campaign. The thousands of
dollars spent in uniforms, trappings and
gilt edged toggery and the time spent in
tramping weary miles can be better in

made in this way and people are begin

Insurance. of yYorkingmen.

In Germany insurance of workingmen
is compulsory. There is certain amount
deducted out of his wages by his employer
for that purpose, and the employer is re-
sponsible to the Government for that
amount. A workman whose weekly wages
is So has about ten cents deducted there
from as an insurance against sickness and
death, and five cents as an insurance
against old age and inability. For these
deductions the benefits accruing are: In
case of sickness he is furnished three
months medical attention and treatment;
and if married, and his wife brought to
confinement, she is entitled to free medical
attention, money allowance equal to half
his average wages, or if he prefers it. free
board and treatment in a hospital and
small amount equal to twenty times the
paid 10 the survivors. In case of aeci-
dent he receives the sick benefit and COM
pensation for partial or total disability, or
in the event of death his family or heirs
receive the compensation. For a workman
earning So weekly, if totally disabled he
receives about $l5 per month. If he is
killed, $40 Is allowed for burial expenses,
and his widow, say with two children, re-
ceives about S1l per month until the chill
dren are fifteen years old. When work
man gets too old to labor he receives from
$50 to S62 yearly according to the length
of time he has been employed. The old
age insurance fund is supported by the de-
ductions kept from the pay of the work
ingman, by an equal amount paid by the
employer, the State paying an equal
amount also. These deductions are made
from every workman, unless he gives proof
of his being already sufficiently insured in
some club, guild, or benevolent society,"

SULLIVAN AND KItRAIN.
A Probability That the Big sioggers VIII
Come Together

BosToN. December 2lst-It looks now as
if the late challenges and bluffs that have
been going on between the leading pugilists
may lead to something. 1t seems to be the
impression in sporting circles that theSulli-
van Kilrain fight will shortly come of.
Kilrain today agreed to any system of
lighting satisfactory to Sullivan. Fox,
representing Kilrain, and Captain Cook, of
the Boston Police News, representing Sulli-
van, agreed that the money posted with the
New York Clipper will be covered, and that
receipts will be given by each principal
with the stipulation that they will not ap-
peal to the law, but will abide by the re-
ferees decision, and that these receipts be
surrendered on entering the ring to the
referee. who will destroy them before Civ
ing his decision. TIE plan to escape arrest
is to charter foreign vessel, go outside the
three mile limit, and post the stakes and
receive the receipts, and that the fight will
take place under the auspices of the Cali
forDia Athletic Club st San Francisco.

strides towards helping us in our CASTRO

laziness, for that would have been too palp-

And she did. Shutting up the bees,
she knocked the head out of barrel of
glucose and told them to go to work and
help themselves, which they did faithfully.
Their long journeys to and from the bow

nothing to interfere with their getting

a success, for the honey was piled into the

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, December 2Ist-In the
Senate to-day Chandler presented the peti-
tions of number of citizens of South Caro-
lima, who were not permitted to vote, pray
ing for the right to exercise their PRIVILEGES
as citizens.
a bill TO grant the right of way to the
Pensacola aud Memphis Railroad Com
pany across public lands in Mississippi,
Alabama, Tennessee and Florida, and
through the naval reservation at Pensacola,
was reported to the Senate and passed.
The House bill to supply deficiencies in
the public rinting appropriation was
passed.
Chandler introduced a bill Furnishing
crime against the elective franchise.
Teller's resolution for the investigation of
certain irregularities in the Supervising
Architects office, Treasury Department, was
taken up.
Vest, speaking on the resolution, said he
hoped it vas not intended ss q personal at
tack on the Architect, whom he regarded.
from long personal friendship, to be in
corruptble.
Hale and Sherman defended the bill and
the predecessors of Mr.. Freret, the present
architect, from what they regarded as in
situations against them by Vest.
Teller said that the resolution was not in
tended as a reflection on Freret.
After considerable discussion, the bill
was so modified as not to seem to direct re-
hection on the Supervising Architeet and
was then agreed to.
The resolution calling upon the Secretary
OF the Treasury for information regarding
the purchase of bonds. etc, was agreed to.
Dawes resolution for investigation of the
treatment of Alaskan Indians vas also
agreed to.
The tariff bill was taken up and the cot
ton schedule considered. The effort to re-
dnce the duty on cotton thread created con-
siderable general discussion
The debate took on political coloring,
and was continued all the afternoon. After
an executive session the Senate adjourned

Mother snake. swaIlow,nr yonny.

/ have read with pleasure and interest
the various articles appearing in Forest and
Stream during the past few weeks, but
think the articles on snakes have been
fully as interesting as any. Having spent
most of my days on farm, where / could
observe snakes to some advantage,
would like TO add another mite to the vast
fund of evidence in favor of snakes swaI-
lowing their young. l know that the So
called striped snakes of the Adirondack
will swallow their young, for l have seen
them in the act several times, and to sat
isfy myself that had not been deceived
killed the old snake and found several
young ones from four 10 six in length in
side the parent. These young snakes were
not hurt by the swallowing. They were
very active when brought to the surface,
and it was with difficulty | could count
them. The fact that the young snakes
were alive and active goes to show that the
swallowing process is natural, and that the
old snake only wishes to hide her
young from sight and thereby protect
them from any threatening danger. NV
brothers have witnessed this swallowing
process and will testify as to the truth Of
my assertions.-ForcS and Stream.
