As to the payment of brokerage, there
were few years ago in Boston one or two
local insurance companies that declined to
pay brokers' commissions upon business
that Yves brought into their office, the be-
lief of the officers of this company being
that in this way they might be able to
save enough money to ultimately reduce
the cost of insurance. Instead of enconr-
aging this laudable effort, the merchants
of Boston were SO entirely indifferent that
nearly all of the business of these two COM
psnies went off their books. Even the di-
reetors of the two companies sent their
own risks in through brokers, and the re-
suit was that the corporations referred to
were compelled to change their method or
accept the only other alternative of going
out Of business.
A semimutual fire insurance company
began few years ago to do a mercantile
business in Boston, and trusted that the
opportunity for a division of the profits
among the policy holders would be all that
was needed to bring in business, without
the intervention of brokers. But after a
pretty fair trial of the method it was found
that it would not work, and the company
was compelled to adopt the brokerage pay
ment plan.
This we are informed is a matter of rec
ord, and while there are, no doubt, in Bos-
ton risks where so much insurance is re-
quired that no brokerage need of necessity
be paid the rule does not hold good with a
vast majority of the insured property.
Middlemen in insurance, as well as in
leather, boots and shoes, real estate, drug
and other classes Of business, are to Ger
tain extent unnecessary factors and it
would be, no doubt, a saving il they could
all be abolished, but it would be difficult to
name any class of business in which they
do not take an active share, and their ex-
istence and continuance may possibly be
cited as proof Of their necessity.

A skull a. Big as a Bushel Basket.

One of the most remarkable finds Of
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that made at Paler-
mo, Sicily, in the year 1915, when an en-
tire skeleton of unheard of proportions
was unearthed by some marble quarry
men. These mammoth remains meas
ured exactly "a feet from head to foot,
and feet inches from point to point Of
the shoulders. A stone AK buried with
this old time giant may still be seen at
Palermo in section ~" of the st. Isorent
museum. 1t is made of a blush look
ing, fine grained bowlder, and appears to
be about feet inches long by foot
broad and inches through in the thick
est place. A musty, rusty looking tag
attached to the relic informs the visitor
that it weighs SO pounds, but the general
verdict is that it could not weigh over
80 or 30 pounds
The skeleton was burned by mob in
the year 1862 during the prevalence of
the black death at Palermo, the igno-
rant, superstitious people believing that it
was connected in some mysterious way
with the death dealing distemper. The
skull Of this giant, according to Able
Ferregus, was largely excessive of the
baskets sayd to hold the bushel, being
fitted above and belowe withe teeth to
the number of sixty-foure, the each of
which would have weighed two ounces"
Cavalier Scroy claimed to have found
skull on Teneriffe that had 60 teeth.-St
Louis Republic.

The standard of female loveliness
varies greatly in different countries and
with individual tastes. Some prefer
the plump and buxom type; some adj
mire the slender and sylph-like, and
some the tall and queenly maiden. But
among all people of the Caucasian race
one point OF beauty is always admire d
"a pure, clear and spotless complexion
whether the female be of the blonde,
brunette or hazeleyed type. The first
great requisite of loveliness can be as
sured only by pure state Of the blood,
active liver, good appetite and diges'
ton, all of which are secured by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is guaranteed to accom-
plish all that is claimed for it, or money

lovely complexion, free from eruptions,
moth patches, spots and blemishes, use

Ignatius Donnelly finds a supporter of
his Atlantis theory in Sir Daniel Wilson,
president of the University of Toronto,
who declares, after a great deal of search,
that the lost Atlantis was not a myth, but
that it was really the continent of America,
He accounts for its disappearance from
view in different way, but that is merely
Incidental DonuClly's theory was that the
land was submerged by some great volcanic
upheava1, and that from those who escaped
to the continents of Europe and Asia came
the tradition OF the Gqiuge. Sir Daniel re-
jects this explanation rs being disproved
by the fact that there are no traces of such
volcanic action either on the continent or
in the ocean bed He believes that the an
cient Egyptians, the most progressive and
adventurous people OF ancient times, dis
covered the continent, but that in the de
cline both Of their learning and power il
became lost to view and existed at the time
our knowledge of Egypt begins merely as a
shadowy tradition.
1t is his opinion that traces of the Egyp-
tians of those days are TO be sought in the
ruined cities OF Central America, whose
origin has never been determined or even
been made the basis of any reasonable the
DRY. Such discovery would furnish a sub
stantal basis for the legend of the lost At
lantis and the theory invests those wonder
full ruins with new interest for the anti
quarians. -Niiiwaukee Journal

origin. They have many customs Of pc

is remarkable reluctance to pronounce
their own name before a stranger. If q
white man meets a family and asks the

be asked its name both parents, if they are
present, will reply, while the little one will
stand dumb
If but one Eskimo is about, and the same
question be put to him. he will look about
in distressed way, as though seeking some
one to give the desired information, and
endeavor to evade the query until a mem
Der of the tribe comes up to answer it for
him. If pressed, and no other course is
left him, he will tell his name, but with
marked reluctance. On all other subjects
except their spiritual beliefs they will con
verse with volubility and do their best to
impart Observation-Disclosures Times

How Corn Was Ground a. One Time.

The watermill is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas, the first tray
eler from civilization TO Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account Of the absence of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Quernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found III the cyclic
pean underground dwellings of Scotland.
Their simplest form consists of two thin
circular stones, the upper Of which is
pierced in the center and revolves on a
wooden or metal pin inserted in the low
er one. The grinder dropped the grain
into the central hole with one hand, while
the other caused the upper stone to re-
volve by means Of a stick inserted in a
small hole near the edge.
The laboriousness of this operation is
well illustrated bya story told of Column
ba. He was studying under St. Finnian,
and every night on which it fell to his
lot to grind the corn with the querne he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the assistance Of an angel in turning
the stone Wilson thinks that at this
time (the early part Of the sixth century,
the querne was the only mill in use.
Large water mills were introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland. and
legal means had to be employed to rem
der their use compulsory. -Gentleman's

A GERMAN CAMPAIGN.
IMPORTANCE OF THE PRESENT PO-
LITICAL CANVASS.

Brief Review of the Situation In the EN-
pire That Is Ruled by the Kaiser-The
Army Bill and why william Wants 1t
Passed.
The political campaign through which
the German empire is passing at this
time has rarely been surpassed in i'm
portance. In fact, it may not be going
too far to say that greater interests now
depend on the decision of the German
voters than have ever before been at
stake in a political contest The situa-
ton is i'll a way simple enough. The
young Kaiser William believes that the
army Of the fatherIand should be ma
terially stronghold in order to insure the
safety and integrity of the empire. The
army bill, of which so much has been
printed, was drawn for the purpose of
bringing about the increase in number
of soldiers and general effectiveness of
the army that he deems necessary. The
reichstag failed to agree with him and
refused TO pass the bill, whereupon the
kaiser promptly dissolved that body, and
an election for a new reichstag was or
dered to begin June 10.
In Germany the candidate to be sue
cessful must secure clear majority over
all opposing candidates. When the votes
are counted, if no one candidate has been
thus clearly selected as the choice of the
people, Il new election is ordered. the
two candidates receiving the highest
number OF votes being the only ones who
may enter the lists for the second time.
