The Grand Trunk Railway compa-
ny has for several years insured its
employees, but since it has absorbed
the Great Western railroad of Canada
the insurance system has been so al
tered and improved that it virtually
constitutes new departure. The sys-
tenn adopted is that which was former
ly used ON the Great Western road.
On the Grand Trunk it will cover
more than 10000 persons, the insur-
ance being compulsory, and every
employe, from the naughty conductor
of palace car, to a nut boy in the
machine shop, will be embraced in it.
Hereafter, the Grand Trunk road will
employ no one over 40 years of age.
Thirty-three cents per month will be
stopped from the wages of each EN-.
ploye over IS years Of age, and in case
sickness or accident prevent labor,
boys will receive 81 so and adults $500
per week, besides the payment of doc
tors bills. A scale of death benefits,
ranging from $3.50 to $4,000 has been
fixed and man who insures in the
former class will pay an assessment
of five cents on a death, amounts in
creasing with benefits, until the man
who is insured for $4,000 pays fifty
cents. One of the commendable fea-
lures of the bylaws is that an employee
who leaves or Is discharged from the
service of the road can continue his
membership in the relief by paying
assessments. In order to give the re.
lief association II good start, the road
has contributed $4,000 as a founda-
ton of the fund. The government of
the association will be by ten direct
ors, three of whom are to be named
Ivy the road, and the other seven to
he elected by the employees. The new
system will 30 into effect January /.

Seeing in some of our exchanges
boasts of ancient literature, reminds
us that a gentleman in town has shown
US two volumes, one of which contain
ed cases in the court of Kings Bench,
decided in the beginning of King Will
liam's reign, and printed in 1741. But
this isn't much of story as compared
with the second volume, the preface
of which was dated Sept. 10, 1880, and
the book, the owner informed us, pur-
ports to have been in the family from
about 1890. This volume at least sa-
vors of antiquity. The latter book,
considering its great age, is in q won
derful state of preservation. Now
bring on your ancient literature.

been serious enough to warrant the

WHY WOMEN CANNOT BE FREE
MASONs. Eli Perkins is Royal Arch
Mason, and at a masonic celebration
in Washington he undertook to an
swer the question why women cannot
be Free Masons.
Women sometimes complain that
they are not permitted to enter the
lodge and work with the craft in their
labors, and learn all there is to be
learned in this institution. l will ex-
plain the reason. learn that before
the Almighty finished his work he
was in doubt about creating Eve.
The creation of the living and creeping
things had been accomplished, and
the Almighty had created Adam, who
was the first mason, and created him
for the finest lodge in the world, and
called it Paradise No. 1. lie then
called all the beasts of the field and
fowls of the air to pass before Adam,
for him to name them, which was q
piece of work he had to do alone, that
no confusion might thereafter arise
from Eve. who He knew would make
trouble if she was allowed to partici-
pate in it, if he had created her be-
forehand. Adam being fatigued with
his first task, fell asleep, and when he
awoke found Eve with him. Adam
being senior warden, placed Eve as
the pillar of beauty in the south, and
they received their instructions from
the Grand Master in the east, and
when finished she Immediately called
the craft from labor to refreshment.
Instead of attending to the duties of
her office as she ought, she left her
station, violated her obligation, and
let in an expelled mason, who had no
business there, and went around with
him, leaving Adam to look after the
jewels. This fellow had been expelled
from the Grand Lodge with several
others, some time before. Finding
that Eve was no longer trustworthy,
and that she had caused Adam to
neglect his duty, and had let in one
whom he had expelled, tho Grand
Master closed the lodge and turned
them out, setting a faithful tyler to
guard the door with flaming sword.
Adam repented of his folly, and went
to work like man and good mason
in order to get reinstated again. Not
so with Eve She got angry about it,
and commenced raising Cain, and did
it again when she got Abel. Adam
on account of his reformation, was
permitted to establish lodges and work
in the degrees, and while Eve was al
lowed to join in his works of charity
on the outside, she was never again
permitted to assist in the regular work
