There is perhaps no country in the
world where workmen are so protect
ed by the state or are so cared for as
in Germany, says Consul Haynes.
Even clerks, shop assistants and serv-
ants are compelled to insure. This
insurance is effected by pasting into a
book stamps every week. and it is the
duty of employers to see that this is
faithfully done.
In the German Empire there are
three assurances for workmen, all Of
which are obligatory and under the
authority of the Imperial Insurance
Office. They are accident, sickness
and old age, or inirmity. The insur-

In many countries the question OF
Insurance for w%orkingmen is consid-
cred important, and in at least a doz-
en- countries a practical solution Of the
question has been found and applied.
The systems, though similar, are
varied.
United States Consul Haynes, at
Rouen, France, has gathered and sent
to the Department of Labor and Com
merce the main facts concerning work
mems insurance in a dozen countries.
In Belgium the insurance against
accident and disability is obligatory
for miners. Moreover, since Jan. L,
1900, the government has a national
fund for retiring pensions, which is
voluntary, and insures to each of its
members when sixty-fve years of age
a pension of S69.5O annually.
The insurance of miners has also
been compulsory in Austria since
1889. The minimum insurance is, for
men, SAL, for women $20.5O. Insur-
anc against sickness and accident is
also obligatory for those engaged in
industrial and agricultural pursuits.
But in no case can accident insurance
exceed 60 per CEN of the annual
wages.
In Denmark the needy who have
reached sixty years of age receive
help in varying proportions, the state
and commune contributing equally.
For the past fifteen years a work
mans insurance committee has exist
ed in Sweden, and since 1886 the Riks-
dag has put aside yearly the sum of
$428,S0 to cover the first expense
when the law for insurance of work
men is voted.
In Norway accident insurance for
the industrially employed workman
whose salary does not exceed 5000 a
year is compulsory.
Insurance is obligatory for indus
trial employees of either six in Hun

A New York retail dealer in mems

man nurse. The latter asked her en-
ployer to send her new address 70
Berlin, so that her old mother in the
German capital could send her letters
to the proper place. Thinking the
best way to fix matters would be to
put the nurses name on top of his

awhile, however, an odd plant was dis
covered to be. coming up in the rub
bish heap and on investigation it was
found that the dwarf tree had sprout~
ed from the roots. This new stalk
came from below the graft ard was
own child of the root-a bit of the
genuine, long-sought stock.
That carefully nursed and guarded
sapling is the odd-shaped bush in the
Fruitlands garden. AS soon as it be-
gan to bear fruit it's seeds were plant
ed and guarded as carefully as the
original stalk. Year after year all
the seeds were planted and even the
seeds of the new plants till at last
the nursery was well stocked with
the thorny citrus trifoliata.
Citrus trifoliata is extremely hardy
and productive. So upon the seeding
of this tree has been grated almost
an infinite variety of other fruits to
obtain commercial trees.
Orchards all over the country, and
in fact in all parts of the world, where
oranges are grown, are stocked with
descendants of citrus trifoliata, al
though, of course, not all are from
this stock so oddly obtained, for about
the time this fortunate accidental dis
covery was made in Georgia other
gardeners succeeded in wrestling the
secret from the Japanese and bring

The Widows Mark.

One of fashions latest crimps is for
young widows to wear white strings
with their mourning ponnets. Used
with a fine discrimination this could
be made an interesting feature. Let
the white strings designate the
young widow who has no intention of
retiring permanently from the matri-
monial mart. Then blue would do for
the widow who TO- looks coldly on
Cupid, but may warm up a bit later
on. No strings at all could mark one
determined to retain her widowhood.
And dainty woven strings of grass
in fact. this bonnet-string idea could
be worked to cover all sorts and con
ditions of widows.

Marriage in Ancient Rome

Aemilius Paullus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him.
Rich wives were not much sought
after by wise men Their complete
emancipation made them difficult to
manage. Accordingly. since both rich
and poor wives were Objectionable, the
large majority of men never married
at all. In most cases a Roman
bridegroom knew practically nothing
of his wife's character until after mar
riage. Marriage for the Roman wom-
an meant a transition from rigid seclu-
sion to almost unbounded liberty.
She appeared, as a matter of
course, at her husbands table, wheth-
er he had company or not She could
go where she liked. either TO the tenn
pies of Isis and Scraps or TO the cir
cus and amphitheater. She had her
own troops Of slaves, over whom she

In an old game book published in
England in 1920 appeared the follow

sparrow pest: Take some lees of
wine and hemlock juice, utemper
them together, and steer a quantity
Of wheat therein for the space of one
night. Then place the same in a spot
where the birds resort to feed, and
when they have eaten thereof they
will drop down dead drunk. Too

sealed glass tubes, preferably in IL
quid air. This toxin or poison, inject
ed into other guinea pigs, produced
symptoms of exhaustion followed by
death within twenty-four hours. The
same poison could not be obtained
from the muscles of non~-exhausted
animals.
Antitoxin corresponding to the tox-
in thus procured is produced very
much like that of diphtheria by in
jecting the toxin into the circulation
of horses. When dried in a vacuum,
the resulting scales-unlike those Of
the toxin-are permanent. In fact,
the substance retains its activity even
after months. 1t is readily taken up
by the stomach, but is generally in
iected under the skin by means of a
hypodermic syringe.
Small animals, into which the toxin
was injected, remained in a perfectly
normal condition when treated with
the antitoxin, but succumbed to the
poison when the antitoxin vas not adj
ministered. The Introduction of the
antitoxin did not produce any dis
turbance whatsoever; OF the contrary,
