About twenty years ago Germany
adopte ! the system of compulsory in,
surance of workingmen against ac.
cidents. Since that time, declares the
Hartford Courant, there has been paid
into the reserve fund about $S9, 000,.
900, OF which about $40, 900, 600 now
forms the capital. In the year last
reported more than $1,000, 900 was
paid in indemnities, and more than
$4,000, 900 was added to the reserve
fund. It is now proposed to extend
the system to apprentices and EN-,
ployes whose wages do not exceed
$476 year.

1t has been estimated that of the
$1,000, 100000 of property held in
New York 100000, 900 is in the
hands of women, but this is certainly
well within the real facts (since the
women of Boston pay taxes on $780,
900, ,O00). Even SO, however, this
would make, at the present rate of es-
innate, over 5000, 900, 900 of property
owned in New York State by women,

A HarI Working Monarch.

The activity of the German Emperor
is we'll known, but it will probably
surprise many to read the following
table of his movements during the
year ending August 10: He was in
Berlin or Potsdam, so the table states,
166 days and travelling 1919 days. He
gave twenty-seven days to maneuvres
and reviews in twenty different places,
from Kiel and Salzwedel to Stuttgart.
Strasburg and Metz he went for State
ceremonials to four cities; to the fu-
neral of Duke Ernest and TO the we'd
ding of the Grand Duke of Hesse; he
hunted in Sweden, Wurtzenberg. Up
per Silesia, Baden and Hungary; his
trip to Abbaza, including visit to
Pola, Venice and Vienna, occupied
three weeks. He visited the North
Fiord and England, travelling together
during the five years over Is, 750
miles, or an average OF ninety-hve
miles for each of the 1919 days he was
away from Berlin. London Chroni-

system to give in the elementary
schools to every child the ability to
read. When he leaves school he is
expected to continue his education by
reading the printed pages of news
papers and books. The great increase
of public libraries in the United States
is significant of progress towards
She realization of this idea. In 1892
we had over 1000 public libraries,
with more than 1000 books in each.
The schools teach how to read; the
libraries furnish what to read. But
far surprising the libraries in educa.

public opinion as asoertained and ex-
pressed by the newspapers to such a
degree that our civilization is Justly
