Was founded in 1877 to give the best
accident insurance at lowest cost, con-
sistent with absolute security. From

more liberal features to its original con-
tract until to-day it is giving much
better protection than has ever before
been given by any organization furnish
ing accident insurance.
Its methods, the Justice and liberalitv
with which it has treated claimants, and
the reasonable cost of the insurance it
furnishes, have won for it such degree
OF popularity that it is to-day the largest
organization furnishing accident in
surance.

liest attitude. The builder bowed his head
over the pillar where the little craven image
had been carved out of existence.
The next day one of the officers of the
palace remained on duty within the portico.
The man yawned and fdgeted; he had plain
ly nothing to do. The High Priest did not
reappesr. Zaharas curtains were closely
drawn. Once Lazarus heard or fancied that
he heard her laugh and call: "Rebecca"
But he had only his fancy for his content.
"It is a dull day." said the officer sullen-
". "What have you done, Sir builder, that
1 should be stationed in this stupid post all
day?" Lazarus lifted his head and stared
at the fellow.
''Verily," said the officer. ''I believe you
know not any more than do. It must be
some whim of the High Priest. He abound
eth in them. shall make known to him
that you are quite innocent at all events"
"Innocent Of whaI?" cried Lazarus.
The officer gave a short, sharp laugh.
Perhaps unconsciously, perhaps intention
ally, his conspicuous headdress inclined by
an almost imperceptible motion toward the
women's portion of the palace.
Lazarus worked on in silence. His heart
was sore within him. He felt Inundated
to no end and angered for no cause and dis
turbed without hope of restoration.
II am become miserable man, thought
Lazarus. "Would to God that had never
struck nail into the palace of the High
Priestl Would to God that 1 had never
seen --"
But he could not, or he did not, finish the
sentence. Better to have seen her Oh,
better to have seen Zahara, by hundred
fold of what she cost himl Lazarus could
not imagine himself now, without having
seen Zahara.
"We have but six davs' work upon the
palace lett" said one of the artists with
sigh of relief.
"Six days?" cried Lazarus. Eyes. You
are right. 1t is but six days"
1T might even be completed in five,
suggested an industrious workman, eff these
fellows were not so insuferably lazy"
Possibly" replied Lazarus, standing
back to survey the repairs, ''you are correct
1t might-it maybe done in FIVE"

The VnIue of Foods.

One of the novel and interesting features
of the new National Medical Dictionary
(Lea & Brothers, Philsdelphia) is a series
OF tables by Prof. Atwater, showing the per-
centages of nutritive ingredients IN large
number of food materials; the proportions
that are actually digestlble; the potential
energy (fuel vaiues) standards for dieta-
ries for different classes and occupations;
dietaries for corpulence; actual dietaries Of
persons in different circumstances in life,
and a comparison of these dietaries with the
standards. The tables are important as con-
tanning the results of large amount of new
experimental study and as including invest
igations o. American as we'll as European
foods and dietaries. They bring out clearly
the extravaganza of the average American
household in the purchase and use of foods,
especially in the excessive use of too fat
meats.

habit in this regard. He spesketh with
more voice than any man il hath been my
lot to meet in this world. I grieve me more
and more that did miss him. Verify, he
is dear to me" urged Lazarus with rising
feeling. Tell me of what he did dis
course"
'Of the Roman threat and the Jewish
hatred" said Mary mournfully. "0f the
barriers set before the Fathers Truth at
every side-but it was of the Truth that he
did speak; and of the Father. He said few
words concerning himself; be careth not for
himself, LazaruSl He valueth not his own
safety, nor his sleep, nor food, nor rest, nor
health, nor hope of any human comfort He
careth only for his Father and for miserable
people"
He is of the Father" said Lazarus sol
emnly. He is not as we. This world and
the ways thereof do not tear him as with us,
he is like one who treadeth unharmed a
cage Of wild beasts. I am not worthy to
uuloose the lachet of his sandals, 0 my SIS.
terl''
Lazarus bowed himself unto the ground,
and drew his breath with the resurgent mo-
tion of a man who would weep were he not a
man. Mary looked on with awe and per-
plexity. She knew not how to comfort
distress which she knew not how to try to
understand. Sweet, serene, distant. untouched
by passion, she came no nearer to Lazarus
at that moment than a pure, cold star.
81 must see him, said Lazarus, abruptly
controlling himself. 81 have need OF him.
must suffer no longer time to elspse. 1t is
the days of many weeks since have looked
upon his face. 1t dimmeth before my heart,
vet, as the Lord heareth me, my heart doth
cling to him!-I must make it my busi-
ness, if it be not my chance-I must see the
Nazarene."

The Bureau of EthnoIOgy has just sent to
press volume vii. of Contributions to North
American Ethnolosv," entitled ''The Da-
kots Language" consisting of a Dakota
English dictionary. The author, the late
S. R. Riggs, prepared a grammar and die
tionary of the Dakota language, which was
published BY the Smithsonian Institution
in 1852. Most Of the entries in this work
were in the Santee dialect, the dialect then
best known to Mr.. Riggs and his associates.
The present volume contains not only many
additional Santee words, but numerous
entries in the sister dialects, the Yankton
and Teton. Explanatory notes have been
furnished and numerous eross-referenees in
serted, making this edition of more value
to the student than was the former one. This
work will be a quarto volume of 665 pages.
It will be followed at an early day by
another by the same author, Grammar,
Texts and Ethnography of the Dakotas."

Chinese Student on Returning tlFrOm
America Finds Himself Engaged.
New York SUM- -..S
The way an Americanized Chinese student
looks at China after years of residence here,
and the manner OF his reception at home is
here given verbatim in his own letter from
Foo Chow to an American friend. This
student is now an officer in the Chinese
Navy:
"When reached Shanghai my father
wrote to me that while was away a great
many of his friends have offered their
daughters to be engaged to me, and that he
had at last, without consulting me, selected
one for me from a mandarin. You know that
it is a custom here that marriages are con-
tracted by parents without consulting those
who are to be united. On hearing of my en-
gagement tried to break it off but with
out success, as the Chinese consider an en-
gagement the most sacred contract, so that
ii it is once made it can never be broken off.
According to the Chinese custom the
younger brother cannot marry before the
elder one. 1 have two younger brothers who
have to wait for me to get married before
they can. Therefore l was urged very
strongly by my relatives to marry right off,
did not like to displease my father by op-
posing his wishes, so consented to marry
the last of April. OF course it is not q love
affair, but 1 shall try to do my duty as a
husband.
st is very uncertain whether the Chinese
Government will send us back or not. but 1
hope to see you all again in few years."

who gave his name to this end of the town.
Such heterogeneous collection of national
tiles as swarm here, never was seen before
especially since the high tide OF prosperity
has passed, leaving q driftvood of human
degradation. There are fully $4,000 people
on the tiny island, and large proportion Of
them are blacks from Jamaica and San Do
mingo-tall. powerfully built men and
women, with the thlckest lips. fattest noses
and wooliest wool that ever grew on human
craniums. The quarter where these people
swarm and breed like flies bears no compari-
son, I hope, to any other under the sun.
The roofs of Aspinwall are mostly tiled,
the upper half of each house projecting far
out over the sidewalk, with awning-shaded
verandas above. A large share of the home
lie goes on in these Verandas. Electric
lights illuminate many private residences,
as we'll as the streets and public buildings
A paper called The ISthnlus is published
three times a week, in the three languages
most spoken in this modern Babel. There are
secret societies without number-Masons,
Odd Fellows, Ancient Order of Foresters,
Knights of Pythias, etc. Beggars, of course,
abound, and disease, deformity, vice and
filth in every form. Leprosy is not uncom-
mon.
REMAINS OF THE CANAL.
OF course, we must see the entrance to the
celebrated canal, upon which work was
commenced just nine years ago. We find it
on the main land, behind the island on
which Aspinwall is situated. There are
acres and acres Of warehouses and work
shops, and cottages for the laborers and
residences for the officers, now mostly de.
serted, all made of wood.
The most astonishing stories are rife con-
cerning the methods of robbery practlced
by the canal company's officials. Every
body stole-except, perhaps, the father Of
the whole scheme, NJ. Ferdinand de Les
seps, who is now in his 85th year.
Think of it! The proceeds of $3.50, 900, 900
in bonds, the hard-earned savings of the
thrifty poor of France, sunk in this great,
useless mudhole, never half completed, and
which is rapidly caving in at the sides and
filling up the cuts already made The con-
fdence of the French people has received
too rude shock to be ever restored; but
even if new company could be formed to-
morrow, with unlimited capital at command,
it is doubtful if they could take the gigantic
failure as it stands to-day and bring it to
successful completion before the American
canal, across Nicaragua, will be finished.
All along the line of the abandoned
cuttings are hundreds of mighty dredges
