Fire losses in 1919—$23,500,000.

With the war over. with no munltion plant fires. with industry under normal conditions, and with many interests advocating fire prevention, ‘Canada, in 1919. reached the above enormous total of fire waste——a waste equal to $2.90 per capita of her population.

Of the larger losses. there were 288 of $10,000 and over. These larger losses are mostly of business properties or tuanufacttiring-plants. They make up the greater portion of the total loss. and the effect of this loss is widespread. With the destruction of the factory, employ- ment ds discontinued and the work- man suders; business in interfered suffers.

very often absorbs tho market for a product before a business can lbe reestablished‘. and the owners. realizing this condition, decide not to rebuild.

Many of the smaller munici- palities have. its their chief suport. one large industry. if fire shouldl destroy this industry the com- munity must almost cease to exist» or, alternatively. secure another. often by burdenln-g itself to pay a bonus.

Employers and workmen are ‘almost uttiversally responsible‘ for‘ fires tin factories. 'l‘hrough carc- lessness or negligence they allow conditions to exist which sooner or later create fire dangers. This carelessness is the result. largely, of home training. The greater num- her of our fires ‘are in the homes. where little care is taken with matches. ashes, lighted cignrotcs. and cigars, etc. The careless man this carelessness is the roof. of our

at home is careless at work, and l.

To reduce our fire waste radicala

measures are necessary. Legis- latlon or rules are of no avail unless enforced. Personal care and responsibility by both cm-

ployor and cmployco arc essential fire loss problem. -—.lohn Dixon in Coscrvatlun. , i-¢+>—-—— COATING IRON WITH LEAD

Sterling Bit Climplotsd by iissd‘

Iarwlfll ls Largest an Richest Evdrflrders of American Firm

BOSTON, March 22.—~The Reed 8t Barton sliver company has com» meted a silver service for the Maharaiah of Barwani. who is one of the‘ rulers of a. large principality in lndlu. The service is made entirely of sterling silver. it is ‘the most complete, individual co- lectlon of silver ever turned out by this concern. and it also is" the largest lndlvdual order of its kind ever received in America by any silver concern. 1t is also thelarg» est and most costly silver service ever turned out in the world, at cording to the best information obtainable on the subject.

The service includes everything that goes upon a table. and not the ' least attractive of the many beauti- ful pieces of the sIlversmlth‘a art are the many different articles that are to ‘oe used in the service and consumption of various kinds of liquors, ihc land whore this beau- tiful aervicc is destined evidently being not yet under the ban of pro- hibition. "

Many of the pieces are of a mas- sive and rich nature iuclitdetllinlhis class being n large punch bowl with a capacity of five glalona; mam-, moth fish trays. casseroles and 0th» er tableware. Each piece has the crest of the ‘Maharaiah under which is engraved Sancrlst several let- ters, translated into English meanJ ing "God is Everywhere."

The hollow ware amounts to 490 pieces and in addition to this won- derful collection there is added the flat ware which consists of the spoons, knives and forks. The en- tire collection is to be put in a large case, tho dimensions of which are 13 feet high. 12 feet long and five feet tlcep. There are 124 square foot of pinto glass in the case doors. The case is made of burl walnut. handsomely hand curved. and in itself represents an outlay of several thousand dollars.

in addition to the silver service. the Reed & Barton company was given carto blanche orders to as- semble also a complete porcelain set and a crystal set. These articles were all made on special orders and also are incribed with the crest and motto which adorn the silver service.

The cups of the silver service are made with siivcr holders which are lined with rare pieces of porcelain with borders of the Maharajah state colors of Maroon and gold.

The silver service is really a col- lection of severe] services. as there are separate breakfast sets and

of the large pieces. trays an: made in double sets, as

the prince evidently is a lavish

entertainer.

To n resident of this great and

glorious dry country. the zissort-

mcut of liquor utensils is of inter-

est. Drinking glasses for evcry

kind of liquor. from the choicest

irhlsklcs to the most expensive

wines and ‘cordlala. all have their

especial pieces of sliver for the

Proper serving and drinking of tho

same. The lowly beer is not for-

gotten, any more than the cham-

pagne, as there are several dozen

bcer mugs which are made of mas‘- slvo sterling. lined with gold. The various sterling drinking cups are all lined with gold. The sundries are not forgotten, these including openers for all kinds of drinks mixers. jiggers, corkserews. cham- \-l‘-ugne holders. both for the quart and pint bottle. and the silver even includes small silver tables‘. eaei. wlth n silver chain which hangs around the neck of the bottle. each plate bearing the name in English of the kind of liquor that the bottle nr decanter contains.

a The Reed 8t Barton Co. was also mstructed to furnish other articles of a luxurious nature, included among which is a complete hunt- "18 set, Cigar and cigarette humid. 0P5 3TB made of ‘solid mahogany with tho porcelain linings. and card 0056p large enough for two Ducks n! playing cards. These twases cvcn have a sterling silver

The ‘entire assembing of the bl! order has been in the hands of Ralph F. MacKendtriclt. export manager of the Reed d». Bnrtonflo. Mr. MacKendrlck. as ‘well as all the people of the factory in the work of preparing this work. are all greatly pleased with the Wllllllfil» ion of the order. ‘ I ‘

The workmanship is_'the finest possible, as the Reed and Barton factory is not only the oldest nun

cd world. but it also baa tho re- putation of turning out work which is the very acme .0!‘ l p Silver- smitha art. ‘Several of lhe_ nieces of hollow were are done entirely by hand, having been hammered into their present artistic shape and no tnachlnery having entered inlo their creation. -.

The silver used in the maltlutl 0f the various pieces weighs the un- heard total of 5.000 ounces. Silver today Ia among the rarest of metals and is being sold at a record price. Mr. MacKendrIck stated that it is posiblo a few of the larger pieces may be placed on exhibition down town before helm; shipped .The Reed yandfiBartdn company would like to heveihe public view the entire service as it, stands today in tho case but it is very doubtful if they will tho able to arrange the spruce for such a display. The ent- ire order -wl'l be ready for ship- ment within 30 days. as all that remains t0 be done now is to put the flnui polish on the sterling hollow ware. It is estimated that it will take about two months for the service to make t-he long trip to its Indian home.

The Maharainh rules over one of tho principalities under British do- mlnion, and during the war he held a commission as a captain and led his native troops in France. The order was received by the Reed and Burton company inst fall through Lliei local representatives at Bombay, India. ' , _ 00>-_-_- ORIGIN OF JURY SYSTEM

The exact origin of the jury sys-

pcrlod developed methods of trial somewhat similar to the early jury trials in ‘England. Trial by battle was east in the background by the Norman conquerors when the Norman institution of recognition by sworn inquest was adopted. The Cut-in Regls. or King's (‘ourt,. direct ed tho sheriff to select foul‘ knights of the country by whom twelve knights were selected to serve as recognitors. Afterbeitig duly sworn they inquired ante the facts of in- terest to the new rulers of Eng- land which might be subject to public inquiry, such us matters af- footing taxation. suitors in cases ilfectmr: the title of real estate. as early as the reign of Henry ll. 1154 lo 1189 applied to the King's Court for recognltors- whose ver- dict. if‘ unanimous. was accepted as conclusive. Originally the jury W215 selected because of their know ledge of the people, locality. and customs and thereby passing upon the facts from a more intimate knowledge of rcign of iicnry IV tho jury was instructed to judge the facts upon the evidence submitted to it. which is the single function of tho jury of modern practice. ---i—oo-@--—— SEALS APPEAR ON ENGLISH COAST.

The appearance of the seal on tho East coast of England. like tho great increase of fish in the North Sea, is one of the results of the war. No doulht one cause is tho fact that they are under tho protection of-the Local Govern- ment-Board. Four different sorts of seals are found on British coasts One ls n/pt tothlnk of seals in con-

The finest of all British scnlsds the Great Bearded Seal. The bula are often as much as ton feet in length and of immense weight. All the seals are terrible destroyers of fish. especially of sal- mon. Consequently they are no: popular with fishermen.
