Sickness Insurance.

Lloyd George, British chancellor OF
the exchequer, has published the pro-
visional draft of a scheme which he
hopes will be passed by parliament,
the fundamental provision of which Is
compulsory insurance against serious
sickness and incapacity for work for
the whole laboring population of the
United Kingdom, whose wages are be-
low the sum of about $500.
The age limits are 16 and 70 years,
the latter being the age at which old
age pensions begin.
The minimum allowance will be
$120 week.
The cost will be divided, the insured
paying one-half and the employer and
the state one-fourth each.
1t is proposed to establish a central
administrative council, made up of
representatives of the government, the
friendly societies and employers of
labor, to decide all controversies aris-
ing in the working out of the plan.

First Century Find.

President Solomon Schetchter of the
Jewish theological seminary of Amer
lea has discovered a Hebrew manu-
script in Cairo, Egypt, where 1t is said
to have been cherished with great
care for 1000 years by the Jewish
congregation.
1t is claimed that the document was
written In the first century of the
Christian era.
1t has been translated by Prof.
Schetchter and published by the uni
versity press in England 1t purports
TO be an address by religious leader
to his followers. The references are
held by George Margoliouth, custo-
dian of Hebrew manuscripts in the
British museum, to apply to John the
Baptist, and Jesus and Paul John is
called a Messiah who led the people
to mediate on their sins, Jesus a
preacher of righteousness, and Paul a
scoffer-presumably because Of his
dissent from Judaism.
The writer and his followers appear
to have belonged to a sect, half Jew
ish and half Christian, which fed to
Damascus after the destruction of Je-
rusalem.

The Art of LiuhtIno.

At recent meeting of the New
York section of the Illuminating Engi-
neering society, Mr. Macfarlane Moore
expressed the opinion that the illum-
mating engineer can treat a cathedral
very much as painter does, by en-
phasizing the lights and shadows. He
has confidence in the results to be OBJ
tanned by solution of the problem Of
luminous paint. Henry Hornbostel de-

great variety of electric lights, modi-

effect of vast glowing, but harmoni-

lieves that in time chandeliers will be
made In the form of twisted luminous
tubes, and that means will be found
to cause light to stream from cornices,

by all lovers of the picturesque
- In London by proposals to
make decided changes in st
James Park, partly in connec
ton with the placing of the King Ed
ward memorial. storm of protests
has arisen and some of the Improve
ments" doubtless will be abandoned
but the committee in charge adheres
to Its determination to remove the
famous iron suspension bridge and
substitute one Of stone. This is de-
nounced as "wickedly Philistine
project"
In Norman times what is now st.
James Park was a lonely expanse of
nelds and woodlands surrounding a
hospital for fourteen lepers. The in
stitution was dedicated to st. James
Many generations of "leper maydens"
shook their cups and platters to So
hcit aims from the wayfarers who
passed their solitary abode, before
Henry VIII cast covetous eyes upon
their woodland domain. He desired
10 convert 1t into grounds for VOL
sey's palace of Whitehall, which he
had lately appropriated. The leper
sisters received notice to quit and
were granted a sum in compensation
The hospital was RACED to the ground,
and upon the site Henry erected the
palace, or, as 1t was then termed, the
Manor House of St. James" Thither
he brought his new queen, Anne b.
leyn, and in the bright spring morn
ings they rode forth a-Maying with a
gay cavalcade over uninterrupted
country to Hampstead.
st. James Park attained It's full
glory under the Stuarts as a fashion
able promenade and beautiful pleas
ure ground. The Sieur de la Serre
described the palace and park in
glowing terms when he visited the
court of Charles l and Henrietta
Maria. He was lost In admiration of
the two great grand gardens" plant
ed with fruit trees and bounded by "a
great park" filled with deer. Across
this same park Charles was taken to
Whitehall for execution.

WHY THE BLUEBIRD IS BLUE
Pretty Legend Of Her Sympathy for
Christ as He Hung Upon
the Cross.

The friendship between the robin
and the bluebird is accounted for in
an old legend, says the Ave Maria.
When the robin. filled with pity
for his suffering Lord, bore him drops
of water as he hung upon the cross
little brown bird thought:
"Oh, too love himl Why can
not do something to ease his painY
so she made cup out of a leaf
and, filling it with water, met the
robin and gave 1t to him so that he
would not have to fly so far as he
returned for more of the cooling
liquid. And when at last he came
with news that his Lord was dead
she bathed his bleeding breast that
was wounded by the cruel thorns.
Then the master of birds said to
the little brown bird: Because you
loved the Lord and would have helped
him you shall henceforth wear a coat
the color of the one his mother wears.
And that is why this little brown

Fastening Battery Wires.

There are two ways of doing almos,
everything, and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong. and the
other is to twist the bare end of the
wire around the. terminal as the hands
of the clock move. and then tighten
up the nut. The reason for this is be-
cause the screw-thread is right-hand.
ed, therefore the tendency of the tight
ening nut will be to twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than 1t
was. Should the wire be twisted the
other way. the nut would tend to I'M
twist 1t and 1t would slip under the

After the Restoration, Charles II.
although he did not occupy st. James
palace, made a hobby of beautifying
the park and gardens. Pepys was an
enthusiastic chronicler of the great
and noble alterations" and was con-
stantly ito the park" to see how they
were progressing. He speaks of the

Skating was first introduced into
this country by the cavaliers of the
merry monarch on the canal of ST.
James Park during the severe win
ter of 1862, and at the st. James
promenades gentlemen were first seen
wearing muffs." Smoking was not
tolerated in the park. Charles II and
Catherine of Braganza rode there
daily in "a most elegant manner"
The grand promenade was at the east
end of the Mall, in front of the Horse
Guards. The Mall was then a smooth
hollow walk, bordered by box and
used for the game of Nell. which gave
1t its name. The duke of York made
the game fashionable and was the
leader in an animated scene of caya-
Tiers chattering, laughing and salut-
ing as they essayed to throw the ball
through the iron ring hanging from
post.
The park of that period was a beau
tiful enclosure of grass and trees in
tersected by winding walks and tray
ersed by canal. at one end of which
the king had constructed his duck
island and decoy. He had also an
aviary, which gave the name to Bird

the canal was Rosamonds pond, a no.

A sheaf Of fax exhibited at the state
fair by DR.. William C. Bane was
awarded second prize. This was sam

on DIR. Bane's farm southeast Of Keota.
There is a remarkable difference in the
growth Of fax on deep titled ground as
compared to that on ordinary shallow
blowing. The roots are more than
twice as large. and have three or four
stalks, thicker and about six inches
longer than the average fax, and the
yield is naturally greater. :,
