Senator Staples of Knox, introduced
another bill of an important character
1t is an act to repeal the compulsory
arbitration clause of the Maine Stand
ard insurance policy. This act was en-
acted by the Legislature of 1895, and in
1899 it was sought to repeal the arbitra-
tion features, but the attempt failed.
Again in the session of 1901, Senator
Staples tried to secure it's repeal but
was unsuccessful. Since that time

Z. Libby, Portland. Hon. H. E. Hamlin
Ellsworth, and Hon. Frank NJ. Higgins

uniformity of legislation, Joined in u
report to the Governor and Council de-
claring that the Maine standard policy
was unconstitutional. Encouraged by
this opinion from three of the leading
lawyers of the State of Maine. Senator
Staples is again seeking to wipe out
this feature of the policy.
The bill provides that mo policy of
insurance shall be rendered invalid by
reason of any statement representation
or warranty made by the insured I'M
less the same shall be material to the
risk or made with intent TO derraud. s
mo policy shall contain any condi-
ton, provision or agreement which
shall, directly or indirectly deprive the
insured or the beneficiary of the right
of trial by jury on any qestion of fact

A novel device is being tried for auto stopping a train. A double dial is attached to one of the driving wheels; this registers the number of miles. Another part of the dial is fitted with a series of stops, arranged to coincide exactly with the distance of each station from the preceding one. As the train runs into the station zone the stop" acts on throttle valve and pulls up the train within the specified limits.

Though it is difficult to say where the
decorative value of pottery and Of
china began to be appreciated. there
is little doubt that it originated in the
east. Ancient Chinese drawings still
in existence show that the process CT
manufacture has varied but little in the
course of the years and that many con-
trivances claimed as modern European
inventions have been known for cen
turi2S in the east.
In Chinese official annals, which are
said to be perfectly authentic the in
ventiOn Of porcelain is dated at about
200 years before the Christian era,
although Father EntrecOlles, resid-
ing in China at the commencement of
the seventeenth century, dates it long
before this, and tells us in a most inter-
esting manner of the great porcelain
works of King TIE Ching, one of the
most ancient and celebrated of the Chi
neSe factories. He says that in his
time there were no fewer than 5000
ovens at work, which gave to the town
at night the appearance of one vast fur
mace with innumerable chimneys.

She sat running over her shopping

something to add to it. She looked in

divisions, cardcase and all, but no pen
Gil did she find. Modestly she hest
tated about asking her neigkbors, but
with quick resolve she finally leaned
toward a gentleman seated by her and,
holding up her list, said loud enough
for those in adjacents seats to hear,
Excuse me, sir, may 1 borrow your
necktie a moment?'
The gentleman's establishment was
expressed in his silent facial contor-
tons until the lady redeemed deeply.

Some Missouri Names.

The people have given singular and
amusing names to many neighborhoods
in Missouri, says the Kansas City Star.
In Caldwell county are Zion, Lickfork
and Polo. Echo Dell, Gabtown and
Dawson City are in Worth county. In
Nodaway county are Toad Hollow,
Sunrise and Postum Walk, and in
Henry county is Coal. Pigeon Creek
and Centennial are in Atchison county
River Dots, Splawn Ridge and Civil
Bend in Daviess county; Sleepy Hollow
and Ivy Hill in Sullivan county, and
Esrom Echoes in Butler county. These
are just few names picked at random
from the country correspondence Of the
county seat press. Sometimes a pretty
or suggestive name is given a neighbor-
hood, but generally the aim Of the
christener seems to have been to confer
the harshest or most amusing appella-
ton he could think Of.

LoHeIeaa Marriages..

Marriage without love is almost a
crime. In fact, it would be regarded
as one if the world were as true, as
simple, as sincere, as it ought to be.
But society has so long wandered in y
maze Of completely, and marriage,
from mOnarchs downward, is under
taken for such a variety Of reasons
apart from love, that only few retain
the correct impression about it. And of
these few the majority are women or
girls who would rather die than marry
a man they did not love. Sir Walter
Scott knew this we'll when he wrote
1.-THE Bride of Lammermoor," His
noble, gentle, true and tender spirit,
aware of what love is, could we'll COM
pute the horror Of a loveless marriage.
