The theory of government in
Germany is decidedly paternalistic,
and while, In some respects, the
workman has not the liberty en-
joyed in our own land, his health
and physical safety are much bet

tenn of labor exchanges, or en-
ployment bureaus, has been estab-
lished in the large cities, most of
these being maintained wholly at
government expense.
These government bureaus have
overcome the evils of the private
employment agency, and have
proved of great value to employ
ers and workmen alike.

Rise and Fall Of Peter lvcle.

The Tripoli of the early nineteenth
century could boast of a fleet And
more, the. feet could boast Of an admi-
raj hailing from Scotland. Peter Lycle
was his name. When he arrived at
Tripoli in 1894 he was mere mate of
an English vessel. But nature ava
ricious asserted itself. He plundered
part of the ships cargo, was suspected
and took refuge in the castle. There
began his real career. He turned Mos
lem, married a relative of the reigning
pasha, and in time became lord high
admiral Of the fleet. His ambitions
did not stop even here. He did not
stick to his fleet. He embarked on a
course of piracy. distinguished himself
and made enemies. His standing be-
came undermined. "PoOr Peter" COM
mented an old time traveller, "was no
longer an object Of consideration with
any party."-London Globe.

MANSARD'S ROOF.
BY It tho Architect Won His Sons Life
From Louis XIV,

FROM LOUIS NiV.
The great hall of the Hotel de Vile
of Aries, designed by Mansard, is the
wonder and admiration Of every one
who has seen it on account of the
groined roof.
In regard to this a neighboring cafe
tier tells a somewhat grim story. King
Louis XIV. happened to be passing
through the city just at the time Man
sard was experimenting the compile
ton of his creation. The roof was sup
ported by IL powerful pillar. The mon
arch admired the work and congratu
lated the architect on his design. At
that moment the architect was passing
through great domestic tribulation. He
had a son under sentence of death, so
he thought it would be Il good oppor-
tunity TO intercede on behalf of the
lad.
Mansard threw himself at the feet of
the king and said: Your majesty sees
in the center that massive column? If
you will spare the life of my son
will remove the unsightly pillar, and
the roof shall stand without support"
"Mansard,' replied the king, ''if you
accomplish that miracle | will pardon
your son, but if you fail 1 will hang
you with him.
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is a phi
losopher and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man
sards son been a scamp the hall at
Aries would be just like any other hall.

PROOF OF GENTlLITY.

The practice observed among Span

Manual work. The same custom ex-

reason.
Among the Romans the wearing of

cratic circles. This advertised to the
world that the wearer did not engage
In any labor and freedom from en-

Spectability.
English boots and shoes have been
designed more or less for the same
purpose as that of the Chinese, who

their gentility AS early as the time
of William Rufus peaked toed boots

a scorpions tail, and courtier nam

Climatic Variation.

There is plenty Of evidence going to
show that the climate of North Amer.
lea was much warmer than it is now"
The remains Of the now extinct NAM
moth, for instance, which are found
all over the continent, and especially in
the northern part thereof, prove that a
tropical climate prevailed here at a
very recent date. geologically speaking.
There are, of course, other evidences,
but the conclusion to be drawn from
the mammoth is enough to convince us
that where the temperate (or COLDER
climate now is there once prevailed a
hot climate, such as the now extinct
monsters luXuriated in for centuries.

AN ENGLISH PENSIONER.
Superannuated at Birth and Drew the
Stipend All His Life,

Stipend All His Life.
The wife of an English cabinet min
lister had promised to stand godmother
to an infant and, calling on the parents
a day or two previous to the christen-
ing, expressed her regret that her hus-
band had nothing left at his disposal
OF any Importance and that the only
thing he could do for her godson was
to put his name on the pension list as
a superannuated general postman.
The offer was accepted. The pension
was regularly paid to the parents dur
ing the minority Of their son and to
him afterward as long as he lived. He
thrived in the world, became an alder
man and attained considerable age,
often declaring that he had more pleas
ure in pccketing the few pounds he
drew half yearly from this source than
he derived from the receipt of any 9TH
er portion of his income.
: He died a few days after one pay
ment was due, and one of his executors
came to town to announce his decease
and to receive the money. On asking
the clerk who paid him if it was neces-
sary to produce a certificate of the
death he was answered.:
"Oh, no. not in the least. l will take
your word for it, My father paid his
pension as long as he lived, and have
paid it myself for the last thirty years.
l am quite sure that the old gentleman
must be dead by this time.''
This recipient of the public bounty
had been superannuated postman for
upward of eighty years.-EXchange.

Responsibility OF TEACHERS,

Public school matters came in for
a good share of attention at the
semi-annual session of the State HUI
name Association of California that
just closed its session at Riverside
Frank Miller, of the Riverside Inn,
speaking on the low salaries paid to
the teachers in the public schools of
that State, said:
81 have several mattresses in my
hotel who are making more money
as such than they ever did teaching
school. so that until teachers are ade-
quately paid we can not expect first
class educated teachers because they
would seek other employment"
He then moved a resolution as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that II is the opinion of
this assembly that the salaries of the
teachers in this State should be in
creased"
Speaking directly to the teachers
present, he said In part, regarding
Arbor Day and all It meant:
Il trust that you will not lose sight
of the fact that 1t is really a patriotic
duty you owe to the commonwealth, to
plant in the minds of the young peo-
pie in your charge. some conception
of the part that the trees and the
birds play in our national life. They
are vital elements in our prosperity
for all times to come. Ignorant de-
structiveness is a characteristic of our
time, of our people. An appreciation
Of the economic value of our forests
and the wild life that surrounds
them, is greatly to be desired in the
rank and file OF our citizenry. In
fact, 1t is absolutely necessary to the
success Of our land In the future
Where will 1t come from II not
through the teachers?"

unanimous. That settles the whole
question right there, If the Governor
will be fair and square. The COM
munity is not unanimous for a trans
fer. The only people who have
changed from their ardent advocacy
of the wn-Mahuka-site-civ
center are those who are afraid their
toes will be stepped on by the natural
expansion Of the city of Honolulu be-
yond the borders of King and Fort
streets. The Chamber of Commerce
has held a meeting on the question
and refused to change its position.
The petitions at five and ten cents u
name don't flimfam anyone. So
where can the Governor stand except
in favor Of the speedy settlement of
the condemnation, which, we think,
he has said he believes will result in
a valuation well within the limits of
the appropriation.

Surely the following from a parish
paper issued by an Episcopal church
is sound doctrine. 1t sounds very
much like the statement of our new
religion!
THE really vital thing In every de-
nomination Is the same in all denom-
nations: II is pure religion, ethics
charged with emotion. Theology has
no part nor lot in it. The vital re-
ligion Of today is drawn from these
convictions: the fatherhood of God I;
the brotherhood of man; the leader
ship Of Jesus Christ; salvation by
character; onward and upward for
ever! And their translation into prac-
tical life gives us the Golden Rule.
Now these are the precise contents
of the Gospel. And they are almost
as revolutionary of present conditions
as they were of those in the days of
Jesus. But conservative or radical,
they-and not the creeds. are the ev-
erlasting Gospel. And they, and not
the creeds, are to dominate the world
henceforth."
