Workingmen's Insurance.

During the course of the existence Of
the German workingman's insurance. to
which The Herald has devoted good
deal Of laudatory comment. it has at
tained the dimensions of a gigantic So
cial institution, which IS of important
influence for the furthering of hygienic
and general conditions. Out Of 10000
600 of laborers in Germany 100000
are carrying sick insurance, 100000
are carrying invalid and old-age insur-
ance, and with the artisans in small
manufacturing establishments included,
24.zp.ooo workmen are carrying acci-
dent insurance.
In every case there is not only a
benefit paid in money for the less. but
at the same time prophylactic measures
are followed. This is especially illus
trated by the accident-preventive meas
ures, which everywhere are in force
and everywhere is seen the evidence of
the higher valuation attached to the la
borer's life.

Children in Central Park.

Frun the New York Tribune,
Miss Murphy. the maternal head of the
hippo family in the Central Park menag-
erie. got her first huckleberry pie yes
terday. A woman called at the menae-
erie and sought bill" Snyder, the head
keeper.
Here's nice huckleberry pie" she
said to Bill, "and I want to know II
you won't give II to Miss Murphy"
Sure" said Snyder. Just come along
with me-
The woman and several youngsters
with her followed the keeper "BiIls
looked longingly at the pie. as he took
II out OF paper bag. He leaned over
the tank In which Miss Murphy was
swimming. and held aloft the tempting
morsel. The hippo's mouth opened like
steam shovel.
ITS shame to throw that pie away"
said Snyder. as he tossed the whole
thing into the yawning cavity, and some
OF the huckleberry "stufYings" in the
pie squeezed out Of the corners Of Miss
Murphy's mouth.

Celunbus Day.

Uolu0UuS 10y.
Yesterday vas die lsoth anniversssy
of the discovery Of San Salvador
by christophes Colunsbus. the great
Cenoese-or Spanish navigator and
pioneer.
Columbus Day is q legal holiday In
tweny-three States. who thus aclnowl-
edge their gratitude for being indirect
ly discovered. While the celebration
for the most part is Of . religious na-
ture. IN Catholic churches under the
auspices of the Knight of Columbus.
New York City this time has added =
martial pageant The battleship feet is
gathering in the Hudson River for the
great naval review next week, and the
admiral in command had detailed 5000
bluejsekets who marched in parade
through the city streets, keeping step
to music furnished by ships bands that
make peaceful citizens eager for mar
tial glory.
The discovery of the poles in our
own time was received with quickened
pulses everywhere; when Columbus
added 4 new world to the old it must
have seemed to bis contemporaries al
most as though a new planet had been
captured. The great discovery was the
outcome Of great faith. Of unconquera-
bic courage, of an optimism that pierced
the chilling mists of doubt and faint
heartedness. The pioneer listened to no
voices that would turn him from his
purpose.
The lesson of the life and of the
deeds Of the great admiral is that of
undaunted valor that refuses to, lower
the flag to failure. 1t was because Co.
lumbus knew himself and what he could
do that was given him to find the un-
discovered country.

The Future of the Child.

The American people are beginning
to perceive that the welfare of the child
is of paramount importance to the fu-
ture welfare of the state. Laws have
been devised, prisons and reformatories
have been built for the punishment of
the criminal, and great attention has
been paid to furnishing the individual
when guilty Of lawbreaking: but more
attention should be given toward safe
guarding the environment and educa-
ton of the young.
The idea of public playground un-
der proper supervision has been the
happy thought of men who are inter
ested in the present and future condi-
tions of the child. The Duke of Well
ington, by a contemporary, is reported
to have said on one occasion that "the
battle of Waterloo was won on the
playing field of Eton." However this
may be, there is no doubt that the boy,
under proper guidance, on the play
ground learns self-centrol and self-con-
fdence which will stand him in good
stead in the world of work through his
after life. What every city wants is
good citizens, and no expense or labor
should be considered in an effort to
make the growing generation better
than the last. Give the children more
Fairgrounds and place them under
competent men and women whose sole
aim will be the future of the child.
