Marriage in Ancient Rome

that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him.
Rich wives were not much sought
after by wise men. Their complete
emancipation made them dificult 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

ed into other guinea pigs, produced
symptoms of exhaustion followed by,
death within twenty-four hours. The

from the muscles of non-exhausted

Antitoxin corresponding to the tox-

the substance retains it's activity even

by the stomach, but is generally in
jected 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 succnlabed to the

antitoxin did not produce any dis

it was followed by increased vigor

In many countries the question OF
insurance for workingmen is consid-
cred important, and in at least 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 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-five years of age
pension of $69.50 annually.
The insurance Of miners has also
been compulsory in Austria since
1889. The minimum insurance is, for
men, SAL, for women $20.50. Insur-
ance 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 cent 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
$42S,800 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
year is compulsory.
Insurance is obligatory for indus
trial employees of either six in Hun
gary, and for those engaged in com

TWO SECRETS WELL KEPT.
Tricks Of Trade Guarded by Chinese

and Syrians.
There are two trade secrets" said
an artist. that the outside world, it
seems, will never learn. One is a
Chinese secret--the making of bright
and beautiful color called yermillion,
or Chinese re1. The other is Turk
ish secret-the inlaying Of the hardest
steel with gold and silver.
Among the Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guard
ed well. Apprentices, before they are
taken for either trade, must swear a
strong oath to reveal nothing of what
passes in the workshop. These ap-
prentices, furthermore, must belong to
families Of standing, must pay large
sum by way of premium and must
furnish certificates of good character
and honesty.
You have seen damascened steel,
Of course. and you have seen yermil-
lion, or Chinese red. Remember the
next time you look at these two
things that their secrets have been
guarded inviolably, have been handed
down faithfully from one generation
to another for thousands Of years."

People very often marvel at the
cheapness of the engraved or etched
pearl shells which come from China.
They sell for little or nothing, and the
uninitiated will be apt to wonder
how it is the work can be done SO
cheaply. The reason is that, instead
of craving the picture into the hard
shell, an operation which would be
laborious and slow. John Chinaman
draws the sketch on little scrap Of
tea lead, and inserts it into a pearl
oyster shell when it is tender. The
inside of the shell in this manner gets
an impression Of the sketch from the
tea lead picture, and as soon as it is
sufficiently well printed John takes

Fortunes have been lavished upon
shoes Men as widely apart in every
circumstance of life as Sir Walter
Raleigh and Caligula had their shoes
enriched with precious stones to the
value Of thousands of dollars. When
the tomb of Henry vi of Sicily, who

There is obligatory accident insur-
ance in Italy. There is also voluntary
insurance against sickness and dis
ability pension one must be sixty
years Of age and have been insured
for twenty-five years.
In Finland there is insurance
against sickness. the cost being borne
equally by employer and employe,
There is also insurance against acci-
dents in Industrial establishments.
The accident fund is supported by en-
ployers and the state, the workmen
contributing nothing.
A pension of s87 is allowed by the
government of New Zealand to the in
digent aged who have lived in the
country unilterruptedly for twenty
five years without any legal condem-
nation. Every old person who has
come to the pension age gets the en-
tire pension IL he has personal rev.
enue of $164 or less. For each $l.50
above 1854 the law diminishes his pen
sion accordingly.
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 infirmity. The insur-
ance is mutual and its administration
is autonomous under state control. 1t
embraces, without distinction of ma
tionality, all persons working in Ger

Horses Trained to kneeI.

In ancient times, before the inven-
ton of stirrups and luxurious saddles,
horses were taught to kneel to permit
their riders to mount. A beautiful
Greek vase in one of the museums in
st. Petersburg shows a war horse Of
many centuries ago kneeling low be-
fore an Amazon. The riders in those
days mounted from the "off" side, in
contradiction to the modern usage.
Plutarch tells how in the first century
of this era certain effeminate Roman
riders found even the horse block Of
too little assistance and had their
horses trained to kneel to them.

HAVE ALWAYS WORN SHOES.

Foot Protection Believed Old as the
Human Race.
What Is regarded as the earliest
reference to shoes Is found in the old
testament, where Abraham refuses to
take as much as shoe latchet from
the king of Sodom. Among the Jews
the shoe played an important part in
many social usages. When buying or
selling land 1t was customary to de-
liver shoe and the act of throwing
down shoe ON territory implied oc-
cupancy. The finding of sandals on
Egyptian mummies proves that the
wearing of shoes is almost as old as
the race itself In Venice in the sew
enteenth century every lady OF any
pretension to fashion or position wore
what were called "choppines." high
clogs or pattens, to elevate them from
the ground. Thomas Coryat, a travel
er who visited Venice in 1871, says OF
them: They are SO common in
Venice that no woman goeth without
either in her house or abroad. It is
thing made Of wood and covered

Commander Robert E. Peary to keep
in touch with civilization during his
next attempt to plant the Stars and

According to the plans just made

wireless stations after he leaves the
the nearest station on the mainland as
he proceeds northward. From there
communication with New York will be
easy.
The vessel of the expedition will be
forced to the northern coast of Grant
Land, where the party will go into
winter' quarters. This is only abou
450 miles from the pole.
Not only will the wireless stations
enable Commander Peary to com

expedition to his hackers in thi
country, but he believes it wilE sus
