English Law to Accide MS,

The term "accident" would appear
to be easily defined, but the late Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn thought not.
and on several occasions insurance
companies have sought definition ir
the courts of law. 1t has been decid.
ed that asunstrokc is not an accident,
but that injury TO the spine by lifting
heavy weight is one. Even if phyai.
cal ailments contribute to an accident
it is covered by the policy. The rcln.
tivcs OF man who, while bathing in
shallow water, was seized with fit
and suffocatcd sustained their claim, rs
did those of n man who, when similar.
ly seized, fell under train ard was
killed. Again, person having fallen
and dislocated his shoulder WAS pu t.
bed.aM carefully nnrsci, but in less
than month he died of pneumonia.
The connection between that complaint
and a dislocated shoulder is not nj
once visible, but on the ground that
the restlnssness and susceptibility tC

the Hisease which killed him, the rela

One note from out the centuries vast,
Which he who lists to-day may hear;
One word on Judah's waters cast,
With widening circle year by year;
One song that thrills the patriot van
The browning brotherhood OF man.
Twas this the peasant poet sung,
BY bonnie Doom and winding Ayr,
To that dear harp by Cola strung,
Whose music floats the noblest prayer,
A choral link from shore 10 shore
"Of man to man the world o'er.'
No grander utterance "aan to manw
Behold the century's living vocel
Those simple words the ages span;
The Nations listen and rejoice;
The p'owman bard OF Scottish blood
Proclaims the song OF brotherhood.
Our fathers struggled to be free
We have the freedom that they wrought
For lofty faith and liberty
Brave martyrs died and heroes fought
Memo Impune' sternly sealed
On many u fierce and bloody field
We know by heart each halowed name;
We trace the turf by valor trod,
The Bannockburns baptized to fame
By men who spurnei the tyrant's rod,
Who scorned to wear conquerors chain,
Who knew their rights and dared maintain.
AS men who climb a mountain height
By tortuous ways and painless steep,
O'ertaken by tho darklinr nioht

Await with JOY the morning ray
To guide them on their arduous way.

Proud Scotland holds her steadfast way
To granite peaks by sunlight kissed.
While drifting clouds below her lay;
No pioneer moro bold and true
Beneath the heavens archiny blue.
Till now from heights securely reached,
With freedom sown in every soil
And wasteful wars red banner hleached
On sunlit folds Of honest toll
Hark to the strain IAN war shall cease

The charity that knows no bound
Is freedoms gift to every land;
The richest gold in quarry found.

Amid the parliament of men.

The darkness fades. the Nations lift
Their foreheads to a faircr sky:

ical condition. He is extremely nervous,
suffers much from insomnia, and the irri-
liability of his temper is matched by the
sensitiveness of his cuticle. Those who
know him make allowances for these things
and receive his structures with good humor
even when they cannot agree with him.
Blu there is generally some meat in MI.
Hewitt's d%iscourses, just as there is the in
centive of noble example in his career, of
which it may not be amiss just now to give
an outline. He was born at Haverstraw,
N. Y, in 1922 and received his early train
ing in the public schools of New York city.
In a special competition with other public
school boys he won a prize scholarship at
Columbia college and was thus able to Sc.
cure a liberal education. He graduated at
the head of his class in 1912. During his
college course he supported himself by tu-
toring, and after graduating he acted as in
structor in mathematics, at. the same time
studying law.
In 1874 Mr.. Hewitt was admitted to the
bar, and having saved 81 900 spent it on a
trip to Europe with his classmate, Edward
Cooper, whose business partner and brother
in-law he afterward became. Having prac-
tically ruined his eyesight by excessive
reading, he found himself untitled to prac-
tice law and went into the firm of Cooper &
Hewitt, to which Edward Cooper's father,
Peter Cooper, the philanthropist, turned
over the iron interests of his own business.
The young men made a great success of
this business and in various other fields,
and both of them subsequently served New
York city in the office of mayor.
MIR. Hewitt was elected to congress in
1874 and served till 1886. He was chairman
of the Democratic national committee in
1876 and introduced in congress the famous
electoral commission bill for the settlement
of the Hayes-Tilden election dispute. He
was elected mayor of New York in 1886, the
opposing candidates being Henry George
and Theodore Roosevelt.

men in Bombay is Muncherji G. Munsookh,
who for nearly half a century has been an
active contributor to literature in the cur
rent vernacular of western India. He is a
scholar of ripe attainments and a linguist
Of considerable ability and has an extraor-
binary acquaintance with modern Euro
pean literature. He has translated many
German poems and wrote an ode upon the
death of Prince Albert, the consort of
Queen Victoria, for which he received let.
the Empress Frederick of Germany.
Muncherji Munsookh has written alto.
gether about 30 books, and his range of
subjects embraces history, moral philoso-
ply, romance and poetry. His works are
highly esteemed by students of the oriental
languages, especially his exceptionally ac-
curate translation of the poems of Firdausi,
the greatest poet of ancient Persia, who
fourished eight centuries ago and wrote
the grand national epic, the "Shah Nameh,"
or book of kings, which is supposed to have
contained originally 10000 Pehlevi verses,
but of which only about $4,000 have been
preserved.
Munsookh is about IS years of age, and

entail part in the advocacy of all works of

there is a chance for a difference of opinion
on that point. The only actual service he
has ever seen was during the Turkish war
in 1877, and it is by his achievements then
that his military career must be estimated.
His defense of the Plevna pass and his mas
terly passage over the Balkan mountains are
the events upon which his fame must chief
ly rest. The latter feat has been compared
to Napoleon's or Hannibal's passage of the
Alps. It made him one of the numerous
Russian idols of the war, and now he is the
only one left.
In spite Of the glory he had won, the gen
eral had a bitter experience during the last
days of the reign of Gear Alexander II. He
was in command at St. Petersburg, and
though he had taken the greatest precau-
tions to guard his master from the nihilists,
who were then very active, two attempts
were made upon the czar's life within a
few months. The czar, very much in
censed, ordered him to retire to his own
estates, and there he was kept under police
surveillance until the present emperor re.
habilitated him and made him governor OF
Warsaw.
His career in the old Polish capital has
been one unending series of acts of inhu.
man cruelty. The Russians blush for him,
and the Poles hate him. He has forbidden
the Polish language to be taught in the
schools and prohibited the practice of the
Roman Catholic religion, though the Poles
are devotedly attached to that church. For
a very trivial ofense he once ordered a boy
10 years of age to receive Is lashes of the
knout. Such instances are mum berless and
give but a faint indication of the implaca.
BILE cruelty of this man whom the Poles
consider a fiend in human form.
\ Gourko comes of an old Lithuanian fam.
lily that is said to date back for a thousand
years. He was born on the Polish border
in 1928. He is a %singularly reticent man
and it is said that since his disgrace by AL
exander II he has never smiled.
