EngIand's Domestic Earthquake.

Half of the householders in Great Britain are in a panic, and all of them are frantically insuring themselves against the liabilities of which they know nothing except that they are bound to be bothersome and may be overwhelming. This alarming situation Is described in detail by MT. Sydney Brooks in the cur rent Harper's Weekly. "The cause of the precipitate anxiety" says MT. Brooks, Is an act of parliament that came into force on July l. The title of the act looks harmless enough. It is called the Work mems Compensation act We have had many such acts before, and they have not disturebd the peace of the English fire side But this one is both more stringent in it's provisions and far wider in it's scope than any of it's predecessors When say that for the first time in the his- tory of British industry it makes house. holders legally and financially responsi- bio for any accidents that befall the do- nestle servants they employ, 1 have said enough to account for the national alarm. It Is not often that legislation touches the home, or that the average man, still less the average woman, is affected in any
 vital and personal interest by what parlia-
 ment may do or undo. The principle of
 employers liability is an old and familiar
 one. But hitherto it has scarcely ever
 made itself felt outside the spheres of business and industry. A man could for get all about It when he reached home, and for women, there was virtually no occasion for them ever to think of it. All this is changed by this act. Every one who employs servant Is now doomed to study the beauty of employers liability in his own household, and will count him self lucky Is his experience of how 1t works does not make vast inroads in his at the bank"

To the children of men that day
When the forest shall all pass away;
When the low woodland voices are
dumb:
And deaths devastation and dearth
Shall be spread DER the face of the

Avenging the death Of the wood.
The turbulent streams shall outpour
Their walls of wrath, and no more
Shall their banks hold back the high
flood.
Which shall rush DER the harvests

As swiftly receding again.
Lo, after the flood shall be dearth.
And the rain no longer shall fall
on the parching fields; and pail,
As of ashes, shall cover the earth;
And dust clouds shall darken the
sky;
And the deep water well shall be
dry.
And the rivers shall sink in the ground.
And every man cover his mouth
From the thickening dust, in that

Fierce famine shall come; and no
sound
Shall be borne on the desOlate air
But a murmur of death and despair.

American Method Different
Here in the United States. although
publicity is regarded as the best safe

displays. as a general rule. reticence
in dealing with certain scandals. and

Europe, from the moment a case gets

depends mainly upon him whether a
criminal Of high degree is or is not
brought to public trial In a number
of instances. both during the tenure Of
office Of Lord Desart and under the
long regime of his universally respect
ed predecessor, the late Sir Augustus
Stephenson. no proceedings for prose-
cution have been instituted until the
offender was well beyond the reach
of the authorities, and this practice
has even been carried to such point
that in some notable cases the police
have actually warned criminals. es-
pecially where offenses against moral
ity we're concerned, that warrants had
been issued for their arrest. which
would be held back twenty-four hours
in order to enable them TO get out Of
the country. Many cases Of this kind
could be cited But il is only fair to
add that in acting thus. Lord Desart,
as well as the other magisterial and
police officials concerned, are prompt
ed solely by considerations of public
veal and morality, and that not even
the most bitter opponents of the sys-
TEN have ever imputed to them
dishonesty, corruption, or even
family considerations in the matter.

eight weeks for which he pleaded in
