compensa.t,n for -Aooldenta-

A new law adopted in Italy requires that every employer shall, at his own cost, provide for his workmen com- pensation for all accidents the conse- 4uenees of which last more than five days. The compensation under the law Is as follows: If there shall result from the accident disablement of a complete and permanent nature the compensation shall be an amount equivalent to five times the mans yearly wages, but in any case not less than $500. This amount is, as rule, to be invested in life annuity for the benefit of the injured workman.

Other Eands Thnn oura.

Russia is busy at the west as we'll as at the east, She is improving her harbor at Vladivostock and taking poa. session of Port Arthur and Talfen-Wan and completing Ter gre2.s railroad thither. At the same time she is pusb- ing toward the Atlantic ocean, too. and preparing to establish a great ice-free port thereon. We have hitherto told Of the renaissance of Archangel and the opening of a railroad connecting that ancient city directly with Moscow and all Russia. That is an important 5teD. But it is not enough. For Archangel is near the inner erd of the White sea. and that sea opens into the Arctic ocean. What is wanted is a port OF the Atlantic, or at least on the Arctic, near the Atlantic, and that is exactly what Russia is now endeaYoring to secure The first step is the opening, or reopen ing, of the old port of Kola. That is on the Murmanian coast, well LID to- ward the Norwegian frontier At that point the Arctic ocean is practically always naYlgable, instead of being for months ehoked Up with ice, as is the White sea at Arehangel. And it Is 500 miles nearer the Atlantic than is Arch angel. It has the disadvantage of be- ing much further away from Moscow and St. Petersburg, and not connected with them by river or railroad. But the enterprise that runs a railroad across Siberia can be trusted to build one across Finland and Lapland. Large appropriations have been made from the imperial treasury for the improve ment of the port of Kola, or rather Of Ekaterina, little lower down OF the river, and that place will doubt less soon become a considerable center of commerce.

The Yonne Princes.

When driving out with the nurses, Prince Albert of York occupies the place dhonneur in the barouche, and Princess Victoria of York sits on the head nurses lap. The prince often wears white serge suit and white hussar cap with white busby, and gravely returns the salute of any one who acknowledges the baby couple. The position of eldest line" is strictly adhered to, even in the nursery ar- engagements.

Cat Commits Suicide.

Grieved over the loss of her little ones, Tounette, beautiful black An gora cat, put an end to her life most strangely.
 Her litter of kittens were drowned, being very much in the way, and when Tounette returned her grief at their absence knew no bounds.
 Going to the top floor of the tene- ment house the cat acted in a peculiar manner.
 She looked down. pondered a while, then deliberately 1eaped over and was dashed to death on the pavement be- low.
 A cat always falls on it's feet, but Tounette's head struck first, for she de- liberately doubled up her feet and would not be saved.

Poison Pnrta of Snakes.

All poisonous serpents have movable Bangs, which are found in the upper Jaw, and when not in use close up like the blade of penknife.
 At the base of every poison-fang there are numerous germs of others, and the fang, if broken or lost, is re- placed in a few weeks by the growth of another,

Good for Young canarles.

The best food for young canaries Is hard-boiled egg mixed with a little wheat bread, Cut up the egg fine and add to it part of a roll that has been soaked in water for few minutes, and then squeeze dry. Great care must be taken that the food be fresh, for if it be the least sour it will kill the birds.

COLUMBUS, Ohio.
THE new First Baptist Temple of

in the West. In originality it stands
first in the church architecture of Ohio.
in style 1t is a modified form of Gothic,
without cupola, dome or steeple. Though
It has beautifully wrought stained glass
Gothic windows and arches, many Ro-
manesque features are used IN the minor
parts, especially in the interior decora--
ton, where the arrangement of the build
ing is most striking.
Instead of entering the house Of wor-
ship through a small vestibule the visitor
steps through the gorgeously carved
Gothic portal into a long corridor, on
either side Of which are offices, lecture
rooms, nursery, parlors and similar rooms
accessory TO modern churches. The cor
ridor is wainscoted in white marble and
has the appearance of a theater lobby
At either side, near the end of the lobby,
beautiful carved statrcases lead to the
balcony above.
The end of the lobby leads directly into
the main auditorium exactly as the lobby
of a theater
From the wide aisle which runs around
the rear of the room under the circular
balcony a good view is to be had of the

1ster is TO use for his pulpit, and where
are located the great organ and the seats
