First American LeolsIatur..


The first colonial assembly to en-
Joy the right of initiating legislation
was the Maryland assembly, which
convened in 1886 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 enacting 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
however, and this was
granted by Lord Baltimore in 1898,
and the following year the assembly
met and enacted the first statutes Of
Maryland. In their law-making the
pioneer Marylanders were entirely in
dependent of the British parliament
and enjoyed q greater degree of au-
tonomy than any other English colony.

Trap for Liars.

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

HAIR WORTH MORE THAN GOLD
Lock From Head of the Immortal
George Washington Brought Sum

1t is a wise barber who knows his

he must frequently. methinks, have

ARTlcHokE is EASY TO GROW
Favorite Vegetable, Declared to Be
Valuable Article of Food for Both
Man and Beast


The Jerusalem artichoke deserves 70
be much better known in this country,
which is its native land, for it is one
of the favorite vegetables in all parts
of Europe, it is easy to grow, and
most valuable article OF food for man
and beast. Prof. T. d. A. CockereH Of
the University Of Colorado extols its
merits in the Scientific Monthly and
tells some most interesting facts about
it.
It's name is a curiosity to etymology.
The word "artichoke'' is derived from
the Moorish "allxharshof," which was
applied to the true, or globe artichoke,.
of which we eat the flower-head with
its thickened bracts and the delicate
bottom" This plant. which is OF the
thistle family, is native of the old
world. The Jerusalem artiehoke, He'll
anthus tuberosus, Is q tuber which
grows on the roots of sunhower. It
was well-known ard much used by the
natives Of America before the coming
of Columbus. 1t was introduced into
France early in the seventeenth cen
fury and was grown in the Farnese
gardens In Rome, whence 1t was dis
tributed throughout Europe under the
name of Girasole Articioeco, or sun
flower artichoke. 'eThe name arti-
choke" writes Professor Cockerell
appears to have been given to the
Helianthus solely on account Of the
more or less similar flavor, while sJeru-
salem is an English corruption OF the
Italian 'Girasole. or sunfiower."

ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
Birth of Children Guaranteed indie
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code of Hammurabi.

In Babylon. under the code Of Ham
murabi, 2270 B. c., the birth of chill
dren furnished the only financial SCI
curity for wife. A man might sepa-
rate from a wife at will and marry
another but If she had borne him chill
dren he must give back to that wom-
an her -dowry, the usufruct of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity Of her children and thereafter she
Of a son Of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
of her choice"
Under the primitive laws of the Ka-
frs of South Africa similar provision
is made, according to writer. A con-
siderable payment Is made by the hus-
band to the male relatives OF the wom-
an at the time of marriage. In legal
theory this amount is the property Of
the woman and her children, the rela-
tives receiving it as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, man may divorce
his wife at will and may demand back
his dowry If there have been no chill
dren born of the marriage, but his
claim upon it passes upon the birth Of
children. Obviously, where the status
of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enforcible claim against
this property while it remains in the
hands of her relatives, the birth of
children furnishes the only assurance
of security and independence for the
wife.

Old Rates of Interest.

Five per cent interest on a loan
would have been scoffed at by the men
who had money to lend in medieval
times. In the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries the usual rate seems to have
been 20 per cent. and in the preceding
centuries it was probably higher. says
the London Chronicle. The rate of in
terest decreased with the increase Of
specie, with an occasional limitation
ty the state. Elizabeth reduced the
rate by law to 10 per cent, James TO
s and Charles II to g. In ancient
Rome, according to Niebuhr, the rate
was s 1-3 for a ten-month year-the
equivalent of 10 per cent per annum

And then when everything seemed

They would help them with food and

Mend the barns and stay near by to

That was two years ago. Today this

to spare for the more needy ones, who
still are being helped. Little Jean is
