PROFIT SHARING,
An Inquiry nS to the Results of Ex-
perfments In This Country.

From the American Journal of Sociology
From extensive correspondence with all
the firms and corpora tons known to have
tried profit sharing in the United States Mr.
Paul Monroe has made an important re-
sumo of results up to date. The reports,
given chiefly in the language of the con-
Germs themselves, are summarized as fol-
lows: OF the fifty firms which have adopted
the system, twelve continue it, five have
abandoned it Indefinitely and thirty-three
have abandoned 1t permanently. Those
which continue the plan have an expert
ence extending on an average through sew
en- years. The second class average but one
year, and recognizing the insufRciency Of
such trial have not decided 1t a failure
The third class vary in length of trial from
maximum of eight years to a minimum Of
SIX months: the majority having tried II
for period of from two to three wears.
In comparison with European experience
one is struck with the brevi:y Of the trial.
AS to fundamental principle the large
majority are of the opinion that such a
plan results in a financial loss to the en-
ployer he being recouped If at all in nom
computable ways. Those which continue
the plan do so, not a matter of philan-
thropy, but as a matter of Justice If not of
business. These are about equally divided
In their opinion as to the direct financial
benefit of the plan to the firm While II Is
true with any such question, that one sue
cess will prove that 1t can be done with
profit, and any number Of failures not
prove the contrary, yet 1t is as a GENERAL
type, not as an individual variation. thai
such system has social significance. A
further study will justify two general con-
illusions: l. That such a system will sue
coed only with a select few of EMPLOYERS,
those with whom social motives have an
extraordinary influence, and with a grade
of skilled or Intelligent labor 2. Such a
system is of some Importance to society
from tatical point Of view, but little If
any at all from that of social progress

A White Deer as n Mascot.
From the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
The citizens of Crook county are much put
out on account Of the Staying of a white
deer which has been roaming over that Sec
ton for a number of years, and which was
looked upon as sort of mascot, and which
no one would harm, until short time ago
one PoindeXter wantonly shot it. Such
curios are very seldom found but In story
and in song for ages past occasional refer
ences are made to a 'milk-white'' doe or
white deer, which is generally supposed to
nave been a mythical or legendary animal
This white deer of Crook county, however
was no myth, for its snowy hide is now in
pickle in a taXidermist's shop in this city,
and Game Protector Mcclure is preparing
a the request of the people Of Crook county
to make big trouble for PoindeXter, who
killed the animal about February l. during
the season when 1t is not lawful to shoot
deer of any color. There have been many
stories about this celebrated white deer,
one of which was that Barnum had offered
$4,000 for the animal alone, and 1t is now
said that Poindexter shot the animal to get
500 for its skin.

THE PITCAIRN'S ISLAND MAIL.
Letter Thence to Tahiti Goes
$4,000 Miles Before 1t Gets There,

Letter Thence to Tahiti Goe.
$4,000 Miles Before 1t Gets There
From the San Francisco GILL.
In the possession Of one of the mission
airy party who has just arrived from the
South seas on the Adventist vessel Pit
cairn is a letter which has an interesting
and unique history. 1t Travelled about 25.-
600 miles, while the distance between the
mailing point and its destination is but
1900 miles, and 1t went the most direct
route possible, and did not miscarry at any
stage Of its journey. The travels of a let
ter sent from Pitcairn Island to Tahiti
show, as nothing else can, the complete
isolation of the little Pacific paradise
founded by John Adams. Tahiti Is only
about six days sail from Pitcairn, and is
the source whence lovesick Pitcairners
take their wives. But letter writing al
though 1t forms an important part of the
courtship. is generally confined to one let
ter, as when the answer is received 1t is
generally the arrival of the bride Except
small vessel or man-of-war consents to
carry letters between the two points which
opportunity rarely occurs, the only re-
naming hope is from passing ship, bound
FROM San Francisco or Portland to Eu-
IIope A gentleman now residing in Oak
land was once deputed to carry the PIT
cairn mail for Tahiti, and today he told the
story Of how 1t was done.
we left San FranciscSi in the ship CITY
OF tankoW, and were Off Pitcairn Island
on Christmas day. Only about one shin
makes the island, and as we should lose no
ground by waiting few hours we hove 20
and signaled to Adams Point. Then the
two boats Queen Victoria and Admiral
Drew came off with two loads of vege-
tables. Gov Mccoy also came off and
asked US to carry some letters to Tahiti.
We rather smiled at first, but when he
produced seven letters and told us that
there was no other way to send them we
consented, and after paying for our fruit
and vegetables we started on our trip.
Those letters were the cause of a good
deal of inconvenience. When the captain
landed at England he took the letters
eihore and went to the postmaster Then
ne was Informed that he must make an
affidavit and must apply to the postmaster
general for IA cents the tariff for carving
letters from countries not in the postaI
union. Eventually the letters were land
ed In the Falmouth post Office after we
carried them about 1900 miles From
Falmouth they went to Southampton and
were sent in the usual course of events 70

crossed to San Francisco and We're but on
beard one of the Australian steamers and
put on at the nearest point to Tahiti their
destination. The remainder of their iour
Eey was covered with small boat. In all
the letters travelled a distance of over Ok
900 miles and occupied four months ana

Coyotes Recovered Their Pups.

From the Spokane Spokesman Review
An amusing incident occurred the other
day on the Lemon farm, near Garfield.
Wash. Burt Lemon and an employe of the
farm We're plowing, when they came across
three young coyote pups which had not vet
opened their eyes. While they were ex-
aiming them the old ones appeared and
approached to within fifty yards. Mr.
Lemon went to the house for a gun and a
sack and placed the young ones in the
sack, which was tied up and left in the
field until time to go in from work
The old coyotes kept a respectful dis
lance from the rifle, but lowered around
Several turns of the field were made with
the plow. and, finally, when the men came
in sight of where they had left the sack
containing the young coyotes, they saw one
of the old ones with the sack, puppies and
all, streaking it over the hill, and that was
the last seen of them.
