The first colonial assembly to en-
Joy the right Of Initiating legislation
was the Maryland assembly, which
convened in 1875 aud was composed Of
representatives OF the whole people
a purely democratic legislature. In the
beginning every adult male citizen was
permitted to sit in the assembly, but
with the Increase in population it was
found necessary to limit the number,
although there was still no legal re.
striction on the number Of delegates
the people might send.
Under the charter Lord Baltimore
had the power of enactihg all neces-
sary laws for the colony, with the
advice, consent and appreciation OF the
freemen of the province" The assem-,
bly, demanded the right Of initiating
legislation, however, and this was
granted by Lord Baltimore in 1883,
and the following year the assembly
met and enacted the first statutes OF
Maryland. In their law-maklng the
pioneer Marylanders were entirely in,
dependent Of the British parliament
and enjoyed a greater degree OF au,
tonomy than any other English colony.

In front Of the old baslllca of Santa
Maria In Cosnedln, at Rome there Is
an enormous block Of marble, rescm-
bling huge face with a widely gaping
mouth. 1t Is called the "Vocca. della
Verlta" or Mouth of Truth" In the
days of ancient Rome the legend ran
that If anyone who had told a lie
Z placed his or her hand within that
yawning cavity, the jaw would de-
scend and cut 1t OF. The stone has
given It's name to street close by,
but 1t is no longer made use of by the
italians as proof Of their integrity,
which, in the event OF its retaining its
former power, shows prudence on their
part.
The vocca della verita Is large
round stone of white marble, about
five yards In circumference. It is
pierced with two holes representing
eyes, an opening for u mouth, a slight
ly raised nose, and two locks Of hair
are carved on each side Of the fore,
head. The stone is of great antiquity,
end according to some, it was laid on
ne altar OF Jove, and those suspected
of perjury were led TO it ard obliged
to confess by much the same threats
as are used to children row.

Paris, France. damage caused
in the Paris district by shells from tho
long range German cannon has been
Insignificant In proportion to the mlrth
provoked by German newspaper re-
ports giving lurid accounts of the
damage, panic and CONSERVATION in
the French capital since the lombard
ment began. =.
One German paper says great num-
bers OF dead are buried at night; that
the people of Paris take their break
fast and luncheon in their cellars and
that all those who can leave the
stricken city are Fastening to safe
distance. Another says that in the high
tension Of nerves resulting from the
havoc the common people, "who are
unable to leave the city" are bringing
about trouble that amounts to riots
after each unfavortble communique
from the fighting front.
The situation in Paris has been de-
scribed fully by cable. No disorder Of
any kind has occurred and instead OF
CONSERVATION there reigns and has
reigned from the beginning perfect
tranquility. No one pays further at
tention to the long range guns than to
speculate after each explosion as to
where the shell fell. Most of the
shells fall in the soft earth Of the
country districts.
The few shells that have reached
settled portions of "the intrenched
camp of Paris have done astonish-
ingly little harm. Even the shell that
went into a church on Good Friday
Killed no one, the casualties resulting
from the caving in of the arches. H2l
the she'll not happened to strike a pill
lar supporting the ceiling few il any
of the congregation would have been
hurt. Shells have fallen within ten to
thirty feet of buildings without doing
more damage than breaking windows.
