Life SAVING and Law.

The Roumanians are as curious in
some things as the Chinese. A girl
who fell into the river and was swept
down by the current finally seized a
bush on the bank and drew herself
to shore. The owner of the land on
which the bush grew Immediately
claimed reward. OF shillings because
his bush was there and had saved her.
Her father refused to pay, and there
was a lawsuit What the law has to
decide is whether drowning people can
make use of bushes on the bank with
out paying for the same or whether the
assistance of the said bush is worth
certain sum of money.
In China if a person falls into the
water no one must help him out, but
at the same time spectator can be i'm
prisoned for not advising the victim to
stay on dry land.

The Navel Cranoe.

For product of nature California
navel orange as it graces the breakfast
table or the push cart is about the
most artificial thing in the world. 1t
is also a very striking illustration OF
the fact that while beauty may be
only skin deep it counts for a whole
lot. To begin with, the navel orange
of California is an exotic, reaching its
present habitat after devious wander
ing. And, be it ever so sweet tasting,
if its skin has had its beauty marred it
scarcely ever gets farther than the
orchard where it grew. Not only that
but even the most comely ones before
they are boxed and shipped are brush
ed by machinery and polished and
otherwise fused with to give them a
beauty which mere nature never would
have provided.-William r. Stewart in

Spoiled Their Waiting.

In her memoirs Nine. de Boigne
gives some interesting glimpses Of
English social life. For instance, she
writes:
'In 1916 no young English lady ven
tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon
shire returned from a tour in Germany
and observed one evening at large
ball that a woman was never seen to
better advantage than when waltzing.
I do not. know whether he was anx-
ious to play a trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times. 1t was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
Waiting. The duke admired them
greatly, said that it was delightful and
gave proper animation to a ball. He
then added carelessly that he, at any
rate, had decided never to marry a
lady who waltzed. 1t was to the
Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw fit to make this
revelation The poor duchess, the most
clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near
ly fell off her chair with horror She
repeated the statement to her neigh
bors, who passed it on and cOnsterna-
ton spread from seat to seat. The
young ladies continued to waltz with
clear cOnsciences. The old ladies were
furious, but the unfortunate dance was
concluded. Before the end Of the even
ing the good Duchess of Richmond
was able to announce that her daugh-
ters felt an objection to Waiting
which no persuasion Of hers could ever
overcome Some few girls of more in
dependence continued to waltz, but the
majority gave it up

Free Consent of the People.

The pioneer American Democrat
was the Rev. Thomas Hooker of Con-
necticut, who, in sermon in Hartford
in the year 1858, said, 1.-THE founda-
ton of all authority is firstly laid in
the free consent of the people" There,
in embryo, were the Revolution and
the great republic. In the "Funda-
mental Orders of Connecticut" inspired
by Hooker and adopted at Hartford in
1893, we have the first written consti-
tuition known to history that created
a government. And that government
was as near a perfect democracy as
the world has ever seen.-New York

Wisconsin Laws Made Plain.

This is the title of a pamphlet which
is being distributed by the Tobacco Ex-
change bank. The book was compiled
by Hon. L. NJ Sturdevant, formerly at
tornev- general of the state. In the pref
ace the compiler says:
The work is not intended for the use
of lawyers, nor is it meant to take the
place of professional advice in matters
where the individual may be obliged to
resort to the courts for the protection of
property or personal rights. AS every
citizen is conclusively presumed to know
the law and to regulate his conduct IN
the affairs of life in conformity there
with, it is hoped that the information
contained herein may be useful in in
forming citizens as to their duties to-
ward each other, and in general to ad-
wise them what rights are protected and
what wrongs redressed under our stat
utes.
The volume is an interesting and a
useful one.
