INSURANCE AMONG THE SWISS
Against Almost Any Form Of Dis.
aster to Be Dreaded.

A SyStnm Of Insurance against unem-
pIoyment prevails in some of the Swiss
cantous, whereby persons contributing
Il certain sum pnr month are guaran-
ted employment or paid weekly in-i
lt tMnity for the period during which
they are out Of work. Such persons;
riG-u, however, be able to show that
their unemployment is not their own
fault. This plan of insurance is, how
ever, not general nor is it very popu-
ar, as it involves many details which
make il difficult for the bencficiarips
to secure the payment of the bene-
fits.
Employees Of Swiss industrial insti-
tu:ions are required to insure them
selves against sickness or accident.
and this measure also obviates to Il
great extent the necessity for public
charity when wage-carners are de-
privCd of their income on account of
illness or accident. Under the com
pulsory insurance act the expense is
divided between the employer and the
insured. This plan works most salts
factorily, us the workers feel more
secure in their employment.
There are also other systems by
which employers and employees can
protect themselves against the expense
of medical treatment and supplies in
case of illness or accident. The So
ciety for the protection of domestic
servants assumes, for instance, the
responsibility for the care and treat
ment of those enrolled upon it's rec
ords.

FASHIONED OF HUMAN SKIN
Most Remarkable Screen in the World
Is That Owned by the Sultan
of Turkey.

There are many priceless relics in
the menage of the sultan of Turkey,
most of which symbolic brutality and
vice. But the romance of the famous
screen in the thrOneroom of the sui
tan's palace is worth repeating.
It is made, so rumor hath it, of hui
man skin, perfectly tanned and elabo-
rately fooled and embossed, and it has
been in the royal quarters for more
than two centuries. This remarkable
screen is not an evidence of cruelty
or barbarity on the part of Turkeys
ruler two hundred years ago, but is Il
memorial to twelve faithful servants of
Il former sultan,
At one time during Sultan's reign
two hundred years ago, Il wing of the
palace caught fire, and during the con-
Migration Il much-loved member of the
Sultan's family was rescued by twelve
servants. The twelve servants per-
ished, some of them dying later of
their wounds and burns, so his maj
esty had their skins removed by an
expert and had them preserved in this
touching though remarkable manner.
The screen is now looked upon as n
part of the rulers inheritance, and it
is said that every sultan cherishes it
as a mascot.

Jews Hone for Zion,

The ZiOnists dream of more than a
material prosperity in the reestab-
Iishcd Zion. They hope for Il spir-
itual commonwealth, a real, material
life where their children shall learn
the language of their fathers fathers,
where their religion. shall be free to
them, where they may return to the
old Hebrew theocraCy unhampered by
persecution. The Turk has not yet
agreed to this, and the Turk still is
lord of the land. Indeed, the ZiOnists
have suffered severely from the pres
ent war. They are eagerly looking
forward to its end and the subsequent
peace settlements, hoping that in the
new world order the Jew will be per
mitted his own small place in the sun.

tells many engaging anecdotes In her
book, Dog Stars
All the cabmen at the cabstand,
writes Mrs O'ConnOr, had word for
Max, and hopefully he frequently got
into Il waiting vehicle and sat there
until the laughing "cabby" drove him
up and down the embankment.
One lovely morning in June l was
walking through Grosvenor square
when l observed an equipage, the like
of which is to be seen only in London,
waiting for some great lady. The large,
satin-Smooth horses, jet black were
perfectly matched; the silver-mOunted
harness glittered magniticently the
long, lemOn-Shaped barOuche was lined
in wine-colored satin; the coachman
and fOotman, both big, fine-looking
Ored broadcloth liveries, richly adorned
with silver buttons and high hats with
silver bands and cOckades. Conscious
of their Importance, they looked neith-
er to the right nor the left, but with
proud eyes gazing into space remained
immovable. Such magnificence could
only be the product of an old, pictur-
esque and self-respecting aristocracy,
possibly the carriage of royalty.
Suddenly l missed Max. He seemed
to have disappeared as if by magic,
for he was not on either side of the
street, and yet it had been only a mo-
ment since he was trotting by my side.
l turned back and, as passed the car
riage, looked up, and there he was,
smiling and at ease, sitting in the back
of the wine-cOlOrCd barouche on the
tufted satin seat.

Those massive, self-important lack

must have seen him get into the car
riage, and certainly they saw him get
out, but they made no sign. And l
am confident that if a kangaroo had
taken Il flying leap into that opulent
richness he would have been treated
with the same silent, crushing POM
pOsity.

Danger OF Pets.

ANIMALS and human being were not
made to live together in the intima-
cies of the home.
This means that pets should not
have their places of abode, of Sleep
ing and eating in the family bed
rooms and dining room, and more
than this, the familiar fondling and
kissing That the pet cat receives. es-
peciaIIy from the female members of
the domestic establishment, Is a men
ace to human health.
All animals, including the human.
are naturally dirty, meaning that
WhlIe they 90 not seek dirt for the
sake OF beng dirty, the ordinary con-
dltlohs Of living favor the accumula-
tion OF dirt, and dirt IS dangerous
to health because it fosters the lodg-
ment and breeding OF disease germs.
Especially Is this true of fur-wearing
ANIMALS, and such are the most diff
tlcult to keep clean. But worse than
the ordinary chances Of filth gather
ing, Is the fact that dogs and cats
and monkeys and some other animals
are subject to diseases which they
can communicate to their human mas
ters. Cats and monkeys may have
tuberculosis, and with dogs they share
the danger Of rabies and pneumonia.
All these animals carry fleas in their
hair and often other diseasc-bearing
parasites. OF course, your pet may
be free from these things right now,
but after a half hour parade in the
back yard, it may be loaded with
them.
acknowledgements animals are
social by nature, quite IS much so as
their owners, and they haven't the in
stinct, more or less cultivated, to
keep clean. The human animal also
is instinctively dirty, and it is only
mothers strenuous eatly training of
the average boy, and girl, too, and the
subsequent environment of associa-
ton with others Of their kind, that
prevents this instinct from develop
ing into permanent disability.
This pct habit is not 9cquircd-it'S
born in the ave!age child, Particular
ly in the girl. It's sort Of out
growth of the material instinct which
wants something weaker or more
helpless to protect and care for. The
woman who is denied the priceless
blessing of a child of her own flesh,
naturally must lavish her affection on
something-animate or inanimate.
Little girls are satisfied with the rag
doll, but the maturing or matured Wo-
man seeks the live, and more or less
responsive pet Of flesh and blood. If
this can't be a human child, it must
be something else that can squirm
and kick and cry.
And SO it comes that dogs and cats
and monkeys, even rats and mice and
chickens and calves and pigs rise
above their level and are privileged
to human association. They are pet
ted and pampered to an extent dis
gushing to others who haven't lost
their sense of the true fitness Of
thinga. Possibly it could be tolerat-
ed if it were not for the serious men
ace to proper sanitation and health.
And it is serious. The sources of dis
eases are hidden, often to the perpeX-
ity of the skilled physician. The
source, the cause. must be known if
the disease is to be mastered and its
spread prevented. And these pets
ore the actual source of number of
serious diseases.
Of course, pets are necessary to
some neople; their chief 10y is salts
fed with pets. And under proper re-

mittedly American farmers have not done
this; and to induce them 10 do so their
patriotism is appealed to and in many

The farmers are not lacking III patriot

credit, enough to operate their farms to
capacity What they need above all things
is farm labor. The scarcity of farm hands

itself for many years past; and the scarcity
