A PROF1T-sHARING CHEmE.

Alfred Dodge, large felt manufacturer of
Dolgeville, New York, has devised plan to
give his employees some of the profits of their
labor. It is an ingenious and comprehensive
one. It provides that every employe over
twenty-one years of age In the employ of the
house for Eve consecutive years, shall be en-
titled to an endowment account upon which
he will be credited each year, according as
the manufacturing record shows that he has
earned more than has been paid him in the
form Of wages. If through gross carelessness
any employe has caused the house loss,
such loss will be charged against the above
account; against this account any employe
may obtain loan not exceeding the amount
of his credit, by giving good security. Neith-
or of these laws impairs the right of the
house to discharge an employe for any cause
or reason or the right Of the employe to quit
at any time for any cause or reason.
Every employs over twenty-one years and
not over Afty Is, after continuous service of
ton years, entitled to pension, in case Of
partial or total inability to work, at the rate
of so per cent. of his wages after ten years.

ter nineteen years, 90 per cent. after twenty
two years and 100 per cent. after twenty five
years. In case of accident while on duty, or
of sickness, contracted through the perfor-
nance of duty, each employe shall be en-
titled to 80 per cent. Of his wages at any
time previous to the completion of ten years.
service. The pension Is in no case to exceed
81, 600 per year. Every employe who has
been in the employ of the firm at least Eve
years continuously after twenty-one years of
age is entitled to life insurance policy of
$1,000; on completing the tenth year of SER
vice, to q second policy of $1,000. and after
the completion Of the fifteenth year of con-
tinuous service to third policy of $1,000.
This seems to be very liberal profit-shar-
ing. How Mr.. Dodge is going to carry out
the scheme does not appear, but he doubtless
knows what he can do.

Captain Hedworth Lambton, who has just

to take the command Of the Warspite, the

less than twenty years since Captain Lamb

he is certainly very fortunate young officer;

We have often heard the wall of the au-

more capricious, tyrannical and utterly
spoiled set of people never existed than the
great book buying public. The merest trife

high, a cover of the wrong color, too thick

late, two volumes instead of one, or one
instead of two-any one of these happenings
ia quite sufficient to kill book and leave
its unfortunate maker with nothing but so
many pounds of paper stock and old metal
to turn into cash. Not one book in twenty
calls for a third thousand, for the "book
buying public" will not buy old books.
Every season the makers are besieged by
this vast array of unlaid spirits, apparently
doomed to walk the earth and cry, "Give
us new books!" without deigning even to
intimate what sort or kind of books it
wants. It may possibly-that Is there is a

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimPles, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesta-
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, 1t Is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

There Is no reason In the world why
anybody should have an unbscoming
costume this season In fabrics and In
colon all sorts and conditions Of women

faintest to the deepest, are dsftly
wrought out 30 that the particular shade
that the wise woman finds becoming TO
her can bo gotten without any trouble.
There are plain colors for . woman who
There are spots big and little, plsids bias
and straight and stripes of all widths
and kinds. Be little careful in choos-
ing your colors, and remember that be-
cause somebody tells you how well you
look In a costume Of navy blue you must
not conclude that every blue shade Il
suited to you, for that extremely trying
but very beautiful one known as army
makes the average woman's complexion
look as yellow as lemon.
Because scarlet makes your hair look
warmer and gives . deeper color to your
eyes, 1t does not follow that magenta u
suited to you. General rules do not ap-
ply to women who are nothing If not In
dividuAl. Somebody says that small
bonnets are universally becoming, and
you, whose face is rather broad, whose
nose Is a bit rstrousse, put one on and
believe you look well. A bonnet, more
than anything else, needs to be tried On,
and although one may generalize and
say bonnets are ladylike 1t can no more
be assorted that bonnets are always be-
coming than it could Be that all women
are good figures. So just think out
things before you choose them.

Bugs on Early Potatoes.

The essential thing in growing potatoes
Is promptness In meeting the first attacks
of the potato beetle and larva. This Is
especially true of those early planted,
which naturally receive the visits of the
beetles of the entire neighborhood. Tho
best way to deal with these, where the
patch Is not very large, is 10 hand pick
the beetles before they have laid any
eggs. 1t requires promptness to do this
ef1ectually, and an examination OF the
young plants every day for a week or
more. II no eggs are laid early the use
Of Paris green may.not be necessary. Few
however. are prompt enough for this,
and where eng laying Is once begun there
is nothing to do until the larva begin to
hatch out, and then be prompt as pos
slble to apply the Paris green for their
destruction
