SWISS PLAN TO HELP THE UNEMPLOY

The city of Berne, Switzerland, has
in practical operation plan for help
ing idle workingmen who are deserv-
ing of aid, and from the description Of
the arrangement given by the United
States consul at that city, it appears to
be working successfully. 1t is sort
of combination of mutual aid society
and employment bureau, under the
direction of committee of seven men
representing the labor unions. the
employers and the city government.
Subscribers to the bureau pay monthly
dues of five cents each, and the furd
thus obtained is increased by gifts from
employers and by an annual appropria-
ton of $1,000 from the city council.
Subscribers who are cut of work for
two weeks are thereafter entitled to
benefits ranging from twenty cents to
thirty cents day. Those who leave
work without just cause forfeit all
right to any benefit whatever. The
association, through its officers, mean
while acts as an employment bureau,
bringing together would-be employers
and those seeking work. The results
thus far have been satisfactory, the
members reporting twice day at the
large and comfortable headquarters,
and accepting work quickly whenever
offered.

AN ALLOWANCE FOR CHILDREN.

1t has come to be quite common
practice Of late for thoughtful parents
to make regular weekly allowance of
money to their children, to spend as
they choose.
There is much to be said in favor of
the practice, since the only sure way to
teach child proper economy is to let
him know the value of money. Some
parents may hesitate to run the risk of
having the allowance wasted, as it
sometimes must be; but with little
sagacious though unhampering guild
ance. and few object-lessons in money
spent with nothing to show for it,
much may be done toward good bus
mess training. 1t is more important
to develop child's sense of response
bility and teach it to be self-reliant
than to save few cents, and everyone
can we'll afford to use little money in
this way. The amount of the allow
ance need not be more than the parent
can afford. Five-or even fewer
pennies week is large sum for a
small child to manage, and the account
may be increased according to the judg-
ment and needs of the child and the
financial circumstances Of the parent.
But how ever rich he may be, a parent
should never give child more than he
can easily know the value of and keep
an account Of.

The nation holds these magnificent
forests in trust for future generations
We certainly cannot know too mueb
about their extent, their value and
their character, and we cannot learn
these things too soon.
No Congressman who opposes other
forest laws need object to the inaugur-
alton of such survey, because a com
mission can do nothing except to dis
seminate knowledge and furnish facts
as foundation for future action
Even if every recommendation of the
commission should be rejected, we can
think of nothing which would be
more powerful stimulus to public
opinion than comprehensive report
upon our forest resources. The discus
sion which would be aroused by such
report. with its accompanying recon-
mendations, would be an educational
force of the highest value, and our only
hope for legislation, immediate or in
the future, depends upon the creation
of such public sentiment as will COM

King Humbert has just lost his half
brother, Count Mirafore, who died of
Brights' disease at his castle of Som
mariva, near Alba, in Piedmont. The
king was represented at the funeral
and caused magnificent wreath to be
placed ON the coffin, although he never
permitted the count to reside at Rome
since the death of their father, King
Victor Emmanuel. The count bore a
striking resemblance, both in physique
and character. to Ell Rey Gallant uomo,
of whom he was special favorite.
He lost an eve in battle at the age of
II. This, however, did not prevent
him from becoming superb sporting
shot. OF late years he devoted him
self to the production of wine, and his
Barolo- Mirafiore brand has achieved
considerable celebrity at home and
abroad. He leaves two sons, Counts
Victor and CASTOR Mirafore. His
sister is married to the Marquis
Spinola.
I have related so often the story of
his mother, la bella Rosina. whom
Victor Emmanuel married morganati-
cally, that it is needless for me to re-
capitulate it here. She died few years
ago, and it may be remembered that a
short time afterward the mausoleum
in which her remains reposed, and
where those of her son have just been
inferred, was the scene of a ghoulish
outrage, her sarcophagus and coffin
having been burst open and the corpse
horribly charred by petroleum, to which
the perpetrators of the deed set fire
after saturating the remains. Mar

THE GRAND CANYON.

There are many wonders WlCnln Gne
limits Of the Yellowstone park, but of
them all there is nothing so wonderful
as the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone
river. One can at no season Of the
year view this tremendous gorge with
out a sense Of awe at the work of the
Titanic elemental forces which have
followed it out of the enduring granite
of the hills, says the Philadelphia
"Press." There is an impression OF
unspeakable solemnity conveyed by this
giant spectacle, and no American looks
upon it without sense of absolute
humility and insignifioance. The
thought, the meaning, the expression
of the Grand canyon is something the
human mind is unable at first to grasp.
There is no coup d oeil possible there;
there is no definite thought resultant
upon any single glance at the Grand
canyon, no matter how comprehensive
or how perspective that may be.
The grand canyon refuses to be COM
passed at glance. 1t demands faith
full, patient, humble study. More i'm
pressive than Niagara, more mighty
than the sea, more beautiful than the
Alps, it offers to the visitor an enigma
capable of solution only after long and
reverent acquaintance. To attempt to
see the Grand canyon in an hour or a
day is ridiculous. To attempt to see
it as one of crowd is wrong to ones
best self. To study it hour after hour,
to drink in with undated zest the
same view time after time, day after
day, to see the mountain lights and
shades give a thousand different ex-
pressions to the face of nature and to
learn some new feature even at the last
visit to some familiar point of view
these are the things which make the
visitor and observer at first curious,
then wondering. and then, we may
almost say. worshipful. Not even the
most blase world-trotter has ever been
heard to express disappointment with
the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone,
and it is singular to notice the uniyer-
sally respectful and subdued comment
upon it by even the most casual and
fippant vieitor.
There have been very few persons
who have seen the canyon in winter
time, and it may be well believed we
made the most of our rare privilege.
1t was risky work approaching the

again shall we see more remarkable
sight than that thus presented to us on
that clear winter morning.

THE LARGEST MAGNET IN THE WORLD

Willetts Point is government sta
ton commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
R. W. King, and here it is that en-
cheering officers of the United States
Army get their polishing off. Elec-
tricity has so much to do to-day with
the protection of land approaches by
means of torpedoes, and an enemy's
ships are to be blown to atoms by the
help of submarine boats, that cleo
tricity may be said to be always on tap
at Willetts Point.
Colonel King having handy large
cannon weighing $4,000 pounds, and
a quantity Of old torpedo wire, took
fourteen miles of the wire, ooiled it
around one Of his guns, and passed
electricity through the wire lby means
of a powerful dynamo. At once an i'm
mense magnetic force was developed.
You may have seen little, horseshoe
magnet, and how several steel pens
may be made to hang from it. This big
magnet does the same thing with five
cannon balls which represent down
pull Of 1925 pounds. They hang
together, one over the other,
by an area of surface which can
be, theoretically, but a point. At first,
for convenience sake. in lifting heavy
weights an iron pulley with quarter
inch chain was used, but when the gun
was magnetic the chain and pulley
were of no use. The chain became as
rigid as if it had been bar of solid
steel and riveted to the gun.
I saw a man stand at distance Of
some three feet from the gun, and put
ting an iron spike against his breast,
the spike would stand out straight, as
if he were a magnet. Then he covered
his chest with iron spikes like porcu-
pine.
A heavy piece of railroad iron,
weighing fully fifty pounds, when
pushed into the muzzle of the cannon,
was showed out acertain distance and
then darwin back by the magnetic force.
The soldiers who work the magnet de-
rive some amusement from the gun.
When they see green man, they say
to him, BILLY just hand us that crow
bar leaning against the gum" Billy,
anxious to help, tries to take the crow
bar, and finds that he cannot bulge it.
pull, haul, or strain all he may. 1t re-
quires the efforts of two men, with a
sudden jerk, to pull away from the gun
an iron bar weighing about twenty five
pounds.
This gun was mounted on great
iron carriage fully twenty feet long.
The whole carriage was magnetic. Big
nails would stick to it any where. l
made long pendants of nails. 1t was
curious to see railroad spikes lift them
selves up ON wooden platform, as if
they were live things making ready to
spring at the gun.-Harper's Young
People.

SOUTHERN WOMEN AND CHIyALRY.

1t is about time that the lingering
sentiment in the South against women
working for themselves should lose its
force. 1t is a relic of the "Old
South" which, however chivalrio in
its origin, cannot stand against the
practical conditions of life which con-
front the women of the present.
A few days ago resolution was in
troduced in the Georgia Legislature
authorizing the Governor to carry out
his desire to appoint woman to the
office of Assistant Librarian. This res
olution was hotly opposed and actually
defeated by the gallant" members of
the Assembly who wish to preserve
the old Southern ideal woman and keep
her white hands undefiled by toll. One
of these, Mr.. Harrison, of Quitman
county, protested against the passage
of the resolutions in the name of the
mothers, sisters, and daughters of the
South. He thought that the character
of the Southern women was the bright
est spot in the South's bright history.
and he protested against doing anything
to dim its brightness.
All this would be we'll enough if
there were no necessity for Southern
women taking care of themselves. and
if they did not wish to work. Unfor-
tunately, however, all of them have
not husbands to provide for them, and
some of them who have husbands
The would be better off without them.
women are here-thousands of them,
intelligent, earnest, capable. not only
DESTROYS of supporting themselves. but
compelled to do SO. No man should
throw the least obstacle in their way.
The ethereal idea of woman with
which the refined Southern youth
grows up is beautiful one, but it does
not withstand the hard conditions of
life. He looks upon her as something
to make pretty speeches to, something
to drink high-sounding toasts to, some
thing to screen from the workday
world, to guard, cherish, and revere,
theoretically always, practically when
he can. At least, this was the way he
felt fifteen years ago, and his broaden
ing horizon brought him no greater
shock that when he went North for
the first time and saw the women
mingling with the men in the common,
sexless struggle for life.
But the last fifteen years have
done much in dispelling this old
Southern ideal of women, long with
other old dreams which are beautiful
in romance and poetry and would be
beautiful in life if life were not such
practical thing. The Southern
women cannot live upon mems dreams.
Every day they are depending less
upon possible husbands, stepping down
from the pedestal upon which the
Cavaliers have placed them and set
ting about earning for themselves the
necessaries and comforts of existence.
Men like Harrison, of Georgia, mean
we'll, but Harrison can provide for but
one wife, and he has no right to say
that the woman who has no husband
to provide for her, or who does not
want husband to provide for her,
shall not resort to any honorable en-
ployment she may choose to provide for
herself.
The Georgia Legislature, in defeat
ing this resolution, did wrong and a
ridiculous thing. Courier
