The tiumor of Private John Allen.

In due time John delivered his
maiden speech" in Congress, proved
to be one of the lucky ones, and took
an instant and secure hold on the
auricular appendage of the House,
which he has held ever since and
which he will continue to hold should
he remain in the House till the crack
of doom. The members regard AL
len as a godsend, as welcome and
grateful relief from what the late
lamented Mr.. Mantalini would have
denominated "the demnition, horrid
grind" of the Congressional mill.
John arose to make his "maiden
speech" an obscure member. Next
morning he awoke to find himself
famous, as did Lord Byron after the
publication of the opening cantos of
Childe Harold; and the fame of the
Mississippi humorist was as fairly
won and as justly bestowed as was
that OF the English poet.
The river and harbor bill was up.
John wanted to offer an amendment
making an appropriation for the
Tombigbee River. The chairman OF
the committee, Mr.. Willis, of Ken
lucky, had promised him time and
had then forgotten it. John asked
unanimous consent to address the
House, and Willis tried to help him
get it, but some one objected, where
upon John, with tears i'll his voice
and looking doeful as hired mourn
er at a funeral, said, with melan-
choly accent: "Well, l should at
least like to have permission to print
some remarks in the Record and in
sert Laughter and applause" in ap-
propriate places" That was his as
tonishing exordium. The palpable
hit at one of the most common
abuses of the House, "the leave to
print" tickled the members greatly,
and he secured the unanimous con-
sent which he desired. He closed
that speech with an amazing ex-
hibitiel "a gan, which added to MS
fame more than the speech itself.
He wound up by saying: "Now,
Mr.. Speaker, having fully answered
all the arguments of my opponents,
will retire to the cloakroom few
moments to receive the congratu-
lations of admiring friends;" which
set the House and galleries wild
with delight. He did retire to the
cloakroom, and did receive the con-
gratulations of adniring friends, a
performance which has been going
on at frequent intervals ever since.

Workmen's Insurance In Germany.

The system of workmen's insur-
ance in Germany is huge piece of
state machinery. The magnitude of
the system may be estimated by the
fact that it pays out, in one way or
another, about 100000 marks (S25o,-
ooo) a day. The sick workman has
no longer to trouble himself as to
how he shall obtain money to pay
for medical treatment, and what
will become of his family should he
himself be rendered unfit for work
The workman whose earning power
is reduced by an accident connected
with his employment now obtains
Just compensation; and the aged
poor have the satisfaction of know
ing that although they can no longer
work, they can still, owing to the
insurance system, contribute their
share toward the expenses of the
household, and are not obliged to de.
pend on the earnings of their child.
rem or on ordinary public charity,
The system of workmen's insurance
has been gradually built up within
the last seventeen years, but it is
admitted that improvements are re.
quired and gaps have still to be filled

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of a most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Delinedtor, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
new century, The Delineator offers to distri.
butte Sl7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that a woman living in
q small town or village, has just as good
Chance to win one Of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in cty-because the prizes
are given for the number OF subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion to the popu-
latlon OF that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list of
subScnbers-whch of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
OF the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass l.
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest SIS. 90.
The total amount Of prizes given away in this
class is $1,000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other clusses and as
the number Of towns in class increases. be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to class increases, so that in Class I, q,
there will be $1,000 distributed among Fol
winners
Furthermore, to everyone who fails TO win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid IN
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in.
hnbunts Of the town from which the con.
test,nt sends them.
This is altogether n very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Deltneator is we'll
able to make good. From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Deiineator for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers Its strong hold upon the affec-
tons OF American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dr"ss details and home matters
