ACCIDENTS TO WORkMEN.

DR.. Wolff, Of Strasburg, PROBABLY one
OF the best authorities in Germany on
workingmen's accidents, has been in
vestigating some interesting and impor-
tant questions. First, on what day of
the week 60 most accidents occur +?
Second, at what hour Of the day? DR..
Wolff bases his gencraliZations on 1911
cases of accidents which happened in
his own district during 1897. Mondays
and Fridays arc the days when most
accidents occur. because. according To
his statement, the drinking shops are
most frequented on the days previous,
viz. Saturdays. Sundays and Thurs
days. Fewer accidents happen on Tues
day than on any other day of the week,
because on no day are drinking houses
so empty as on Monday.
With reference TO the hours of the
day, DR. Wolf states as an undsubted
fact that the hours after breakfast, din
ner and the afternoon rest are those
sigralized by accidents. lie attributes
this TO lassitude, caused by the work
of digestion, and 20 the use made by
men OF intoxicants during the meal
time.
He also establishes the fact that in
factories where the meal hours are
greatly curtailed there Is an excess of
accidents over the factories where the
men are more literally treated I'm this
respect. III DIR. Wolff's statistics can bc
corroborated by extending these inves-
tigations To larger areas. temperance
reformers will he I'm possession OF an
other powerful argument.-London

Thomas Hardy, the novelist. owes

novel and sent II to the publisher. and
who still attends to most or the busi-
ness part of his writing.

MES the allegation that Bismarck never

The story that the German govern
ment is suppressing the illustrated pos
tai cards because some of them betray
military secrets by picturing fortiiica-
tions seems incredible. "A postal card
may. of course, be big enough To give
such information, but the makers OF
such pictures have no means OF getting
closer To the fortifications than the
general public or the secret agents Of
AN unfriendly nation.
Emperor William is much displeased
over several incidents Of his trip 10 Je-
rusalem. The reply OF the Vatican TO
his notification of rights acquired at
Mount Zion is considered extremely
curt: and on all important occasions
the French consul general kept an eye
on the Kaiser i'm order To assert
Frances guardianship OF holy places.
Moreover, IL appears that the Sultan

siastical property.

SIR JOHN LUBBocK's PETS.


No mortal man ever had stranger
pets than Sir John Lubbock, and every
reader who knows what IL is 10 have
wasps sting on the nape of the neck
viii be astonished 20 hear that the well
known banker once kept wasp as
household pet-a wasp, too, which be-
came so tame that when it reached its
allotted span, il laid down and died IN
its owners arms, 90 TO speak. Sir
John caught this remarkable wasp IN
the Pyrenees and Immediately made up
his mind 10 tame It. He began by
teaching it 10 take it's meals on his
hand and. although the tiny creature
was az first. shy Of going through lta
table d'hote on such an unusual Festive
board in n very short space OF time IL
grew to expect 10 be fed I'm that way
Sir John preserved this pet with the
greatest care. True. II stung him once,
but, then, IL had every excuse for do
ing So Sir John was examining II
while on a railway journey and, the
door being opened by ticket collector,
he unceremoniously stuffed II into
bottle and the outraged Spaniaid, not
feeling quite at home during the pro-
cess gave him a gentle reminder as To
the proper way 10 treat a guest. Inc
wasp was a pet in every sense or tho
word and became SO fond OF its owner
that II allowed itself 10 be stroked. Ii
enjoyed civilization for just nine
months. when 1t fell i'll and although
Sir John did all he could to prolong its
life. IL died. Many wasps have been
under Sir Johns observation, nut he
has never had such a genuine pet aa
this one. The others he has taken in
hand for the purpose Of experiment
and TO show that many Of these insects
which the thoughtless are apt to XIII
and maltreat provided most enter
tanning study. Sir Johns world is real
ly made up Of a lot Of little worlds.

AN ABSENTEE LANDLORD.

Just across the river from St.
Michaers is one of the most fertile
farms ir Talbot county. Some years
ago a Mr.. Oliver came TO this country
from England and purchased this large
estate and began farming Here he
lived for many years. He enlarged the
house and filled it's rooms with the
finest furniture and pictures. Mr.. Oil
yer was an eccentric man, yet very
popular with the neighboring farmers.
But one day Mr.. oliver suddenly dis
appeared. locking the doors of his house
and leaving his property In charge OF
his tenant.
Everything i'm his Talbot home is just
The supper table was left standing in
the middle Of the floor not a plate
nor any Of the food having been re-
moved. Even the rubber boots which
Mr.. Oliver had worn on the day Of his
departure are left on the floor, and not
a piece of the furniture mas been re-
moved from it's original place. The in
terror of the house is just as IL was
when the old bachelor resided there,
save for the thick coating or dustg No
one has ever heard of Mr.. oliver. He
left no instructions with his tenant for
the disposition of his property, nor has
any relative ever come forward to
prove his claim to possession. The
house is "a massive structure of bricks,
said to have been imported from Eng
land. II Is said that Mr.. Oliver is still
living i'm Virginia. and that he is aware
of all that is going on at his farm
