In the nursery of "Fruitlands," on
the outskirts of Augusta, Ga, stands a
peculiar orange tree which has had q
more romantic history and is repre-
scented by more varied descendants
than any other tree in the country. 1t
is a thorny bush, green even in win
ter, although it's leaves are gone and
looks more like a hedgeplant than an
orange tree in spite of the tiny yellow
balls which ornament its branches
When Japan was thrown pen to
western commerce it's quaint plants
and shrubs were among the first
things to attract attention to it. Tiny
orange trees so small that they grew
in tubs and could be set on a stand in
an ordinary room, yet so perfect that
they produced blossoms and fruit in
season and so gnarled that they were
evidently very old, were brought to
America to ornament the c~onservator-
les of plant lovers. American garden
ers sought in vain the stock which
was the basis for these dwarfs. 1t
was evidently a grated tree, and from
it's seeds a variety of things, none of
them like the root stalk, were OBJ
tanned.
Some of the earliest Of the importa-
tons came to Fruitlands. Many died.
One of those which died was thrown
out on a heap Of rubbish, became
buried and was forgotten. After

Not only was the bachelor evil"
well recognized in ancient Rome in
the days of the early Caesars in much
the same way that it is to-day, but
many other phases Of the marriage
question were not unlike the problems
that are up for solution in this pres
ent year of grace. The matter of d.
vorce was one. People had an idea
even then that it was not good for
the state, but no effective means to
check it was ever discovered. "We
are assured by Seneca" says the his
torian Inge, "that there were women
in Rome who counted their ages not
by their years, but by the husbands
they had had. Juvenal tells Of one
woman who married eight husbands
in FIVE years. Divorce was granted on
the slightest pretext. Many separ-
ated merely from love of change, dis
daining tS give any reason, like

There is obligatory accident insur-

In Finland there is insurance
against sickness, the cost being borne
equally by employer and employe.
There is also insurance against accl-
dents in industrial establishments.
The accident fund is supported by en-
ployers and the state, the workmen
contributing nothing.
A pension of $87 is allowed by the
government of New Zealand to the In

There is perhaps no country in the
world where workmen are so protect

Even clerks, shop assistants and serv-

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

Kinston LADY, Shot.

Kinston, Special.-A serious, if not
fatal, shooting occurred at kelly's Mill,
three miles from Kinston, Saturday
night. Mr.. George Norris, who was
out in his yard, called to a servant
woman to bring his gun that he might
shoot an owl. The woman in turning
the corner Of the house, struck the
hammer of the gun against the house
and discharged the gun, the entire load
of shot, cut lead and slugs taking Ell
feet in Mrs. Norris side. Mrs. Nor
ris held an 8-months-old infant in her
arms, which was uninjured, though
two fingers of the hand that held the
child we're cut off by the shot. The
unfortunate woman's hip joint is shat
tered and she is frightfully wounded
though the physicians say she may
possibly recover.

In many countries the question OF
insurance for workingmen 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. 1,
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 $69.50 annually.
The insurance of miners has also
been compulsory in Austria since
1889. The minimum insurance is, for
men, SAL, for women $1,000. Insur-
ance against sickness and accident is
also obligatory for those engaged in
Industrial and agricultural pursuits.
But in nc 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 fol-
the industrially employed workman
whose salary does not exceed 5000 g
year is compulsory.
Insurance is obligatory for indus
trial employees of either six in Hun
gary, and for those engaged in com
merce, if their wages do not exceed
$2.15 a day. All members are as

Sharp Rise in Cotton.

New York, Special.-An active and
exciting advance took place in the cot
ton market, carrying prices to a new
high level for the season. Final quota
tons were within 8 to 4 points of the
top and firm at a gain of 81 to 80
points for the day. The advance was
chiefly due to reports of crop damage
from heavy rains in the Southwest and
active covering and aggressive bull sup
port. Sales for the day were estimated
at 100000 bales.

 Before adjourning Circuit Court the past week. Judge Sprott decided the Ball and Hicks whiskey case, which has caused q deal of comment over the county since 1t came up. At the last session of the Legislature new law was passed governing the sale of whis- key in this county, which provided that applicants for license should present a petition before the Judge of Probate containing the names of a majority of the voters of the beat in which whis- key is to be sold. over any adverse pe- tition. During the latter part of De- ceu1ber Messrs. Hicks and Ball present. ed such a petition, but were defeated by an adverse petition. They then pe- titioned under the old law, which pro- vides that the petition shall have the names of twenty householders and freeholders of the town in which whis- key is to be sold. This petition was disregarded on the grounds that the new law repealed the old. Messrs. Hicks and Ball then applied to the circuit judge for a writ of mandamus on the ground that the new law was unconstitutional. Judge Sprott upheld them at the recent term of court and ordered that license be issued under the old law. This complicates matters to some extent, as there are several saloons doing business under the new law in this county.
