A remarkable case OF long service by
employees appears In description OF u
brass factory In tlaydenyille, Mass Out
Of 265 men In the employ OF the com
pany i55 have been IN It's service for
ten years or longer Among these arc
twenty-seven men whose terms OF EN-
ployment range from twenty to thirty
years: ten have been IN the same works
for thirty or forty years, and six have
been there for forty years or longer.
The longest continuous service was
forty-three years, with hardly a day OF
interruption. Such facts are credi,able
TO both sides.

The arts, mostly consisting Of some
weaving and forging. were in their in

monasteries Three hundred and fifty
years later the very face Of Europe had
been changed The land was dotted
with rich cities. surrounded by inn
nense thick walls, which were embel-

ton. The navies of the free cities fur.
rowed in ali directions the northern
and southern Mediterranean; one effort
more and they would cross the oceans.
Over large tracts of land well-being
had taken the place of misery; learning
had grown and spread.
The methods Of science had been
elaborated; the basis of natural philos.
ophy had been laid down and the way
had been paved for all the mechanical
inventions OF which our own times are
soproud. Such were the magic changes
accomplished in Europe in less than
four hundred years. And the losses
which Europe sustained through the
loss OF its free cities can only be under-
stood when we compare the seven.
teenth century with the fourteenth or
thirteenth. The prosperity which
formerly characterized Scotland, Ger
many, the plains of Italy, was gone.
The roads had fallen into an abiect
state; the cities were depopulated, labor
was brought into slavery, art had van-
ished, commerce itself was deeaying

both arms, and nearly thirty-four have
the left arm the stronger than the
right. These proportions are more
evenly distributed in women. Nearly
forty.scvcn per cent. are stronger in
the right arm, and about twenty-five
are stronger in the left, while twenty
eight have arms of equal strength. In
the case of the lower limbs, taking men

pile OF peculiarly arranged rocks, lying
on Rogue river, almost directly north
of Montreal, Can, was known to the
Indian by combination of words sig

According to their traditions, the thun-
der god formerly used a broad and deep
indentation on its summit as seat,
and therein he would sit for three
days in spring, seven in summer, Eve in
autumn and two in winter. They also
believed that during the time he was

side of tho mountain, from which fire
would stream for hours without ceas-

early history of the mountain, but 1t is
