FIRST CLASS TUMBLERS.

They Were Without Stand and Ac-
tuaIiy "TumbIed" When Set Down,
The Anglo-Saxon always used glass
or horn without stand, so that once
filled the vessel must be emptied be-
fore being set down. Hence the old
proverb When the wine is poured out
it must be drunk and the modern
certain vows, he filled his drinking
glass
At the first the AnglO-SaXOns used
horn, and long after glass cups were
introduced for use among the upper
classes the horn still retained its
semireligious character in transactions
with regard to land. Inheritances Of
land passed by the transfer of horn,
and estates were held in fee by the
same means. For example, the ia
nous horn of Ulphus. The story is,
briefly, that Ulphus intended to divide
his estate among his sons before his
death. The sons, however, quarreled
so much about their respective shares
that the old man made a journey to
York cathedral, where, having made
certain VOWS, he filled his drinking
horn with wine, and, kneeling before
the altar, drank off the contents in
breath in token that he gave his land
forever to the church. That was in
the time of Canute. Many of the
horns were worked beautifully with
gold and silver, one fine example be-
ing in the British museum at the pres
ent time.
Withe the introduction Of glassworl1
in A. d. 500. when Abbott Benedict
brought foreign wOrkmen over,
changes were made in the shape of
the drinking vessels. What is be-
lieved to be the earliest glass tumbler
is shown in one of the accompanying
pictures. 1t dates from A. d. 625-650.

Gently the waters of Sloan have been
made to flow once again, and there
has been great rejoicing in the holy
land. 1t appears that Jerusalem has
been especially short Of water of late,
and it occurred to some Of the inhabi-
tants of Sloan to try to find out
whether the spring which used to
supply the pool was really dry. Tons
Of accumulated rubbish were cleared
away, and after about a months work
the spring was found. The excavators
discovered behind some fallen rocks
an old aqueduct running away into the
valley of the Kedron, and into this
aqueduct the beautiful, cool, clear
water had run and been wasting for
years.-Sunday Companion.

BRAINS TO THE FRONT.
Comment on the Knox Boom for the
Presidency.

1t is a source of qualification for the
people of Pennsylvania that, in looking
about for presidential timber, Senator
Philander G. Knox is favorably named
by influential members of the Repub-
lican party. Pennsylvania has often
had complimentary mention" candi-
dates and political eXigency" candi-
dates put IN the field chiefly for trad
ing purposes, but there has been no
serious attempt on the part of the ma
jority party to name Pennsylvania
for the last forty years
The state has been so securely Re-
publican that it did not need coaxing
by that party, and offered no strong in
ducement to coaXing by the other. 1t
has also been without any serious in
fluence except it's dead weight in the
count of the vote in determining poll
cies in legislation. Dexterous schem-
ers, after the pattern of the elder Cam
eron and the later Quay, have ruled
the roost and have permitted no ques-
ton of their supremacy. The advent
of Knox in the senate has set a new
fashion. Brains are again at the front.
1t is an encouraging sign of the times.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
How 1t Works Out in Practice With
Working People.

How 1t Works Out in Practice With
Working People.
From 1885 to 1909 the sum Of S432,-
100000 was expended by the various
insurance systems in Germany for the
restoration of the health of working
men and their families. One-third of
this sum was paid in by the employ
ers. There Is no doubt, says Vice
Consul Schlemmer of Mannheim, that
it would have cost double if the men
had been compelled to pay everything
out of their own pockets, the moder-
ate medical charges now being regu-
lated by these insurance laws. AS a
matter of fact, people would not other
wise be able to spend SO much money
for medical treatment, and a great
many would perish or be permanently
disabled for lack of proper treatment:
and the disabled ones would remain
a permanent burden on the cOmmun-
ity. 1t also appears that physical and
intellectual conditions. of the laboring
classes generally have been greatly
improved by this protective insurance
system, as evidenced by the reduction
of mortality at industrial centers,
which now is only 81 per 1000 inhabi-
tants, again 271a before the law took
effect. Although food products are
much higher in price than formerly,
consumption has increased in quantity
six per cent per capital, showing that
the buying power of the people has
been greatly increased through the in
surance funds and higher wages.

Fifteen miles below the head of the

Along both sides are tiny landings,

river in a skiff, and turned into "Old
