The Late Dr. MuIford's Personality

[The Rev. Dr. T. T. Munger in the New York h.
 dependent
 Of Dr. Mulford personally one can write only in the tenderest way. In form and countenance and bearing his superior was seldom seen. It is more than the fancy of his near friends that his face resembled thst of our Lord as seen in art, It was-if I may so express it-va universal face; intel 1ect and spirit, heart and will, were there in equal union. The long patience of his thought, the tender humanity, the spiritual faith, the assurance of conviction, the hu- manity and reverence and the yearning sym pathy of his great heart-ah were seen- transfguring his entire form. If I were to name his largest characteristic, aside from intellectual traits, it would be loyalty and devotion to his friends. Nowhere did he make so lavish use of his glorious imagina- tion as in clothing them and their work with all possible excellence; fault, had it not been regulated by sound judgment Still he would tolerate nothing unworthy or be- low the highest standerd; but his silence was his severest condemnation. He pos- sessed also the highest mental dignity, and in this respect may be classed with Elmer son. Nothing was common to him. His conversation covered the widest range; but whatever he touched he not only adorned, but exalted. To converse with him was a delight and an inspiration. One always left him the richer and ill fuller peace with God and man.

A NOTABLE PLAN,

MT. J. G. Patterson, of Hartford, is the president of the New England Granite works at Westerly, Rhode Island. He is also very able man, and much of what he says and writes is we'll worth attention. He has de- vised plan of cooperation for the Granite works which is interesting and important as an attempt to do something toward solving the great labor problem.
 He proposes that both capital and labor shall share in the net profit made on all or ders executed during 1886 by the company, in proportion to the amounts or values con tributed by each. This net profit is to be determined by deducting from the gross re- ceipts, first, the wages of the men employed as journeymen, which shall be paid month ly, and, secondly, the other expenses of con- ducting the business, superintendence, trav- cling expenses, clerk hire, taxes, insurance and legal interest on the capital employed. The amount left shall then be divided into three parts, one as dividend to labor, one as dividend to capital and one to be re- served as guarantee fund, to which shall be charged all losses by bad debts, or credits given for materials and labor during the year. The labor dividend is to be paid be- fore any dividend is paid to capital. The value of all labor contributed to the business for the year is, for the purposes of a divi- dend, to be treated as so much capital.
 Mr. Patterson thus explains his plan for dividing the dividend to labor: The true value of all labor contributed as aforesaid shall be determined by the amounts earned and credited to each workman as wages for labor performed during the year; and the dividend to each will be declared upon the exact amount thus earned and credited to his individual account. For example: Suppose the entire amount of capital employed to be $100, 900, and the entire amount paid for la- bor during the year to be $150,000. Such an amount of capital employed and wages paid ought to insure an output of $400, ,000, and a net profit of $25, ,000. Of this amount, one- third, or SS, ,333 33, would be credited to guarantee account to provide for an assumed loss of about two per cent. on the entire out put; the balance would remain for divi- dend to capital and labor ia proportion to their respective contributions, in this exam pie two-ffths to capital S6, ,666. 67, and three nIVns to 1apor, 91o,ooo, or o.oo per cen1. Ch each; thus the workman whose wages for the year amounts to S1 ,000 would have a divi- dend of $66. 66, and he whose wages amounts to $600 would have $39.96. This dividend to labor would also be materially increased, owing to the fact that all those who take work by contract, superintendents, clerks, apprentices, etc., do not participate; so that if each mans labor be treated as so much capital contributed to the business, that cap ital is not only returned to it's owner as wages at the end of each month, but at the end of the year it is again reckoned and re- warded with a high rate of interest.
 This is ingenious and very fair to the workmen. It has not yet been decided to adopt the plan. It would be an instructive experiment..

 l making a tour of investigation in the cholera 1 district of Spain published so ne disagreeable | charges about the disposition of the money contributed by the English people for the re- | lief of the sufferers. These charges have brought out a curious official statement about the fund for the benefit of those who suffered from the earthquakes little more than year ago. It appears that of the G. 211 ,000 pesetas contributed 5,36S, 792 are still in the coffers of the Bank of Spain. That is to say, the government has distribut- ed only S169, 442 out of s1 .242, 200 subscrib ed by the generous to whom appeals were made. These facts were sent to London for publication by the Duke de Mandas, and were submitted through the agency of the Spanish consul-general.
 The success of the incandescent electric
 lamp for private carriages in Paris, as sub stitute for candles and oil lamps, is pro-
 nounced complete. Not only the regular side lights are included in this plan, but the interior of the vehicle is illuminated by lamp sufficiently powerful to read by, and in some instances a similar lamp is placed, for novelty, on the head of the horse. The lamps are connected by wires with small ae cumulators placed under the drivers seat; they are small in size, being only about eight inches square and four inches high, each of such accumulators being able to supply 8 lamp of five candle power for the space of some six hours. During the day they are re- moved and charged with electricity from dynamite machine or otherwise and at night they are ready for use.
 There is still good dog story or two left yet In New Mexico an agent of 8 ranch m an paid his semi-annual visit to distant grazing ground only to find the sheep herder dead and the sheep quietly feeding in fer tile canyon near by, jealously guarded by his dog. In the rear of the corral, into which
 the sheep were driven every night, lay the
 bleaching skeletons of a dozen or more sheep Astonished at the sagacity of the dog, the ranchman secreted himself and l waited until night. As the sun began to
 sink the sheep came dropping in, with the dog in the rear. They crowded into the cor ral through narrow opening, and as the last one pushed forward the dog seized and killed him, and dragged the lifeless body to the rear of the corral where he made com fortable supper of 8 portion of the carcass, leaving the balance for future meals. He had been doing this ever since the death of his master, and would probablys have con tinued his guardianship over the flock until he died

Vanderbilt and the Young Doctor.

TFFOITI uTO 1V'" T oI IIT41cs'T
 A young physician of this city who had been struggling along in rather an uneasy fashion was suddenly elated one day, year or so ago, by a call from William H. Van derbilt The young doctor had been close student, and had won laurels at one of the city hospitals for his surgical work, and in the course of conversation at the Grand Gen. tral depot MT. Vanderbilt had heard the young mans praises, and acting upon sud- den impulse, as was not unusual with him, he went directly from his office down to the doctors office He had been suffering for some time from trouble that many physi- clans of hi sh repute had treated unsatisfac-

torily, and now, for whim's sake, he put himself under the young doctors care He was cured quickly and became an enthusias- tic advocate of the young doctors skill Many of his friends were sent to the same office and to-day big practice, including patients known in the most fashionable cir cles of New York, enriches the lucky physi- clan whose prospects had been wofully gloomy till the whirn of the magnate rescued him from obscurity. But this isn't the point of the story. After it became known that he had treated MT. Vanderbilt friends crowd ed around to explain how he might grow rich. MT. Vanderbilt was grateful for the cure that had been effected, and all Dr. X. would have to do, so the acquaintances whispered, was to ask the railroad ruler for ''point" on the stock market and then through the use of that scoop in a smart lit tie fortune. It was certainly a temptation, for MT. Vanderbilt had not been backward in his expressions of gratitude But before he acted on any of these suggestions he saw J. Rhinelander Dillon, his personal friend as we'll as patient, and asked his advice "Send in your regular bill," was Mr. Dill Ions counsel. ''Don'1 make it one cent big ger than you would to 8 poor man. Wander bilt's generous, but he never lets anybody impose upon him. Send in your regular bill; if you try anything else you'll hurt yourself" The doctor acted on this advice. The bill he rendered was for fifty dollars ln6 cnecE that the next mall brought hln was for thousand dollars. Square deaI- ing paid.
 Rr. Howells and the Check.
 From the New York Tribune1
 While w. D. Howells was a young man living in Columbus and was on the editorial force of the Ohio State Journal, he wrote a poem which was published in the Atlantic Monthly. In due time came check in pay ment for the poem, which was among the earliest literary productions of MT. Howells before he had turned his thoughts toward the field of prose-fction. The check was highly prized in itself by the young poet, but did not fill the full measure of his aspi- rations, for shortly afterward he demanded of intimate friend with much difidence, but great earnestness: "Jim, when you have check for some money how do you get the cash for it?" The intricacies of this finan- cial operation being explained, the amount of the check was deposited to his credit in the bank. The money was not destined, however, to form 8 part of MT. Howells' ul- innate estate, for shortly afterward he again repaired somewhat embarrassed to his more practical friend and asked in a quandary: Jim, when you have some money in the bank how do you get it out again?" Since that time Mir. HoweHs has had little difficult ty either in getting money into or out of the bank.
