GERMAN WORKMEN INSURED

Great Gain to Wage-Earners.

Charles Edward Russell In Every
body's Magazine describes the follow
Ing interesting situation;
The German Government also con-
ducts Working Mans Insurance COM

earners must take out a policy In 1t

nilly- The insurance is against incapa-
city, sickness. and accident. The pre-
MUM is a weekly assessment Of not
more than 4 per cent of the average
weekly wages, two-thirds borne by the
Insured and one-third by the employer
The Government collects the ASSESS
ment and holds the funds. Ten million
persons are policy holders In this en-
terpr1se, and the payments amount to
S6O,OO0,00O year. When an insured
workingnan dies the Government pays
his funeral expenses from this fund, al
lotinR therefore sum equal to twenty
times his daily wage, In case Of sick
ness payment Is made at the rate of
90 2-3 per cent of the annual earnings
of the insured. The Government also
conducts 354 Industrial courts for set
Ting disputes between worklngmen and
employers, and these courts have con-
sidered 10000 cases In n year They
nave never amounted to much in set
tllng strikes actually begun, but they
have prevented many disputes from

RIyERMEN'S SUPERSTITIONS
Cat Bad Sign; Pig Considered to
Bring Good Luck.

While several rivcrIncn and others were
seated IN the office of the PIttsburg and
Cincinnati Packet Line the other day the
supcrsttions of rivermen came up. In the
party were several who were acquainted
with the legends of the river, and II de-
Yoloped upon Capt. Henderson and Capt,
Pennywit TO relate some Of the happen
irSs of the older days,
One OF the most surprising things
brought out was the fact that the general
run Of steamboat men object to having a
boat with name starting with either an

name starting with either OF these let
ters always comes to violent end. Sew
eral instances arc given where boats
bearing this supposed hoodoo have either
been sunk or burned The Molly Ebert.
Ollie Neville, Mary Irwin. Major Ander-
son oil burned up and the Missouri and
the Ohio sank. All OF these boats were
known to local men and ran on the Ohio
and Mississippi
Tho case OF the Mary Irwin also carried
out another hoodoo Of the rivcrmcn. 1t
IS believed that when the rats desert a
ship there is danger ahead. on a sum.
mer afternoon in 1867 the Mary Irwin tied
up at the Cincinnati wharf. Soon after
1t was noticed that the rats were leaving
her In droves. Carpenters working about
by throwing large pieces Of wood at the
rodents. Tho supcrstitious people on
board at once predicted that something
was going to happen, and sure enough,
Mary Irwin with six other boats, was
destroyed by Are. the Major Anderson be-
Ing one or these. The fire was witnessed
by Capt. Peanywit.

sidered bad sign and the only way to

incubation of Plants.

At the Kansas station some years ago
SOIL incubation studies were begun. 1t
had long been known that certain
plants, notably cloycrs, peas, beans,
and the like, formed small punches OF
nodulcs upon their roots IT was later
developed that these excrescences, IN
stead Of being harmful, as had once
been believed, were the reverse-that
they were the home OF countless bac-
terra; that these bacteria take the free
nitrogen from the air and change 1t
Into nitrogen for plant food Four
hfths Of the air is nitrogen, free nitro
gen as II Is called, a gas. uncomblncd
with other substances. Ii is estimated
that there are about seventy-Ava mil
lions of pounds OF this free nitrogen
resting upon every acre of ground, an
inexhaustible storehouse of plant food
When this nitrogen Is turned into SER
vice 1t must be in compound with some
other substance, a s In the form OF de-
coycd vegetable matter. 1t cannot be
used by the plants In It's free state. And
here comes I'm the service OF the bnc-
teria-it Is their function To convert the
free nitrogen OF the air into food for the
plant The Kansas station demon
stratcd that the process OF plcwing
under these Notwithstanding plants, the
home of countless bacteria. who take
the free nitrogen. and. just how prob
ably no one knows, convert It into plant
food-the plowing resulting in marked
enrichment of the soil-could be short
ened by simply adding 10 the soil the
bacteria which made the nodulcs Soil
known TO contain the bacteria was
brought from sachusetts, placed in
the worn-out Kansas soil, and rcstora-
ton OF fertility followed. IT was proved
beyond all question that the home soil
once lnoculated WAS just ns effective

The raid was on what purported to be a tailoring
shop. though the police say there was little stock
in the place. The paraphernalia consisted largely
Of boards" in which seventy-six holes. half an
men IN diameter had been punched. These were
covered with certificates marked from one cent IN
20 cents. The police say that large number Of
these boards have been placed in BROOKLYN storas
where customers go in. punch out a hole extrsct
the certificate, pay the storekeeper the aInonn ~
marked upon it, and stand ready TO have ths
amount am credited to them in clothing bought from
the Nassau street firm. One hole on each .boar,i"
