MASS LABOR LAW
Held VALID
ETTs STATE su-
PREME COURT SAYS THE NEW
LABOR COMPENSATION LAW Is
CONSTITUTIONAL Law is
GENERALLY COMMENDED.

The legislature of Massachusetts,
which adjourned last Friday, seems to
have made a wonderfully fine record
in the character and amount Of pro-
gressive legislation enacted by it. Sew
eral questions Of great Importance in
their effect on the general welfare of
the people, and especially that of the
laboring classes, were intelligently con-
sidered by the lawmakers, and they
were all acted on affirmatively.
Wor<inpmen's Compensation Law.
One OF the most important to or
ganized labor was an act providing
Tor the compensation Of working peo-
pie Of their employment This act was
the result OF careful and judicious pro-
ceedings at every step Of it's history.
1t was drawn with attention to de-
tails, SO as to provide for all the re-
quirements involved, embrace no I'M
fairness or unnecessary burden for the
employing class. meet the desire OF the
workers in substantial justice to them.
and avoid the constitutional diff1cuI-
ties which laws for the same purpose
halve encountered In other states.
Then, before the legislature finally
acted on II, the opinion Of the supreme
court of the state as to its constftu-
ttonality was asked and received. The
supreme court also gave the measure
careful consideration and declared In
q written opinion, In which all the JUS
tees present concurred, that 1t con-
tained no provisions In violation OF the
state or federal constitution
Law GENERALLY Commended.
The success of this bin liz regarded
BY friends Of the workingmen's COM
pensation as one OF the biggest VIC
tories ever achieved by organized Ia
Dor In Massachusetts. 1t places that
state on par with Germany, Eng
land and other European nations In
the matter Of compensation for per-
sonaI injuries received by employees in
the course OF their employment. and
does away with system under which
! 1t is believed at least so per cent OF
the damages paid by employers liz
wasted In the process Of collection.
The concensus OF opinion among
lawyers Is that the proposed law will
do more toward relieving the conges-
ton In the courts than any other Leg
islation that could be enacted.

HOW TO BECOME INVISIBLE.
A Sample of the Mummery Used In
 Ancient Witehcraft.

Some curious formulas of ancient witchcraft are given in Mir. A. E. Waite's Book of Ceremonial Magic Here is a recipe for becoming invis- ibie:
 Begin this operation on q Wednes- day before the sun rises, being fur nished with seven black beans. Take next the head of dead man. Place one of the beans in his mouth. two in his eyes and two in his ears. Then make upon the head the character of the figure which here follows. (Omit- ted) This done. inter the head with the face toward heaven. and every day before sunrise for the space of nine days water it with excellent brandy.
 "On the eighth day you will find the cited spirit, who will say unto you: What doest thouT You shall reply: I am watering my plant He will then say: Give me that bottle; will water it myself You will answer by refus- ing, and he will again ask you. but you will persist in declining until he shall stretch forth his hand and show you the same figure which you have traced upon the head suspended from the tips of his fingers. Tn this case you may be assured that it is really the spirit of the head. because another might take you unawares, which would bring you evil, and, further, TOUT operation would be unfruitful. When you have given him your vial he will water the head and depart. On the morrow. which is the ninth day, you shall return and shall find your beans ripe. Take them, place one In your mouth and then look at yourself in a glass. If you cannot see yourself 1t is good. Do the same with the rest or they may be tested in the mouth of a child"
