FACTORY BEGINS DAILY TOLL
WITH RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

L. H. Creager, who operates a stave
and heading factory in Washington,
Ind, employed the Rev. Mr.. Gorby, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church, to de-
liver fifteen minute sermons to the fac
tory hands every morning. The idea
proved such a success and had such a
wonderful influence upon the workmen
that Mr.. Creager placed the choir of the
First Baptist Church upon the pay roll.
The choir now assists the Rev. Mr..
Gorby in the daily religious services at
the factory. Before the fifty workmen
about the place begin the days toll
they assemble in the factory for short
religious service This novel idea orig
mated with L. FL. Creager. The Rev.
Mr. Gorby, who is local Presbyterian
minister, says that the plan has been
big success, and he expects to see it
spread to other factories and to other
cities. Mr.. Gorby's name appears on

Marble Arch to Be Demolished.

The celebrated marble arch, one Of
T.ondon's most notable landmarks, is
shortly to be demolished, though the
reason for such an act has not yet been
published. This interesting object was
built by George ". at cost of 100000
as an entrance to Buckingham palace,
where it did duty in that capacity for
many years. But as the gateway to the
palace the arch was failure. 1t had
the effect of dwar6ng the royal resi-
dence, and visitors who went to view
the royal house from the exterior saw
plenty of gate" to quote an old de
scription, ''and very little palace" Ac-
cordingly. in 1850, it was removed to
its present position in Hyde Park. 1t
is not a solid structure, but contains
several rooms.

In April, 1900, there was complleu
for the information of the House OF
Representatives from reports FURNISH
ed by labor unions, a tabulated state
ment showing the increase in wages Dy
percentages, in 50 trades, from 1896 70
1899. These increases run from to oo
per cent, averaging somewhat over ~
per cent. The report shows that IN
every industry wages were increased
between 1896 and 1899, while in ~
they were increased in each of the three
years, 1897, 1893 and 1899, and in 30
they were increased in both of the two
years. 1898 and 1899. The report
proves an unquestionably substantial
increase in all wages from the re-
auctions made necessary during the
free trade period from 1894 to 1897.
Now, as to the comparison of present
wages with the last protection period,
1902. Using 100 as a basis the rate
is as follows: 1891, 10000; 1892, 10000;
1899, 1o1. "a; 1900, 1O3.43.
Thus, three facts are established:
We are getting, the highest wages in
the world; we are not only getting
much better wages than from 1894
to 1897, but even higher wages than
from 1890 to 1892 And it might be
added that more people are getting
these wages than ever before in the
history of our country.
But, we are told, the poor farmers
and the poor mechanic have to pay
so much more for what they buy.

The South African war has over
Swallowed for time that great prof
ect of Cecil Rhodes, the Cape-to-Cairo
telegraph. That work has gone stead
lily on. Forests, streams, natives and
wild animals have been conquered.
Three thousand miles of poles, stretch
ing northward from the Cape, have
been erected, and but one thousand
three hundred miles yet remain to be
conquered. Rhodes has also under
taken that greatest project the world
has ever seen-the Cape-to-Cair Rail-
way-which will soon be pushed to
Victoria Falls. When these great en-
terprises are completed a long step
will have been taken for the civiliza-
ton of Africa. War is a great force,
but how can it compare with modern
science-that which is inevitably con-
quering the dark regions and the habi-
tations of cruelty.

steel and the products in their line
cheaper than any competitor in the

has been of no consequence to Carne-

to make the worlds prices. The du-
ties on steel and steel goods stand now
about the same as they stood in the

time Mr. Carnegie declared that the

that could prevent the combination. nor

Are angels men? asks E. B. Trescot
In Temple Magazine, and he points out
that all the angels one ever reads of
are men. To this the London Academy
replies that while in literature angels
are men, in art, they are women-the
reason for the difference seeming to be
literary and artistic demands. Neither
Of these journals, however, states the
fact that all the angels one meets in
daily life are women, nor does either
note the passing fancy that all the min
istering angels in current literature are
women. Wings on angels seem to
have been the result Of an evolutionary
we have any knowledge are not de-
~scribed as having wings. Evidently
those who appeared to Abraham and to
Lot were without wings, and, while in
the new testament the seraphim and
cherubim are described as winged an
gels proper, these who communicated
Gods message to man were wingless.
The poet Nonnus, who lived in Egypt
in the fifth century, is the first on rec
ord to speak of angels wings. Since
then what splendor of color, what va
.riegated beauty and delicacy of tint
has been found in these heavenly be-
ings, whom Dante was pleased to call
'.birds of God" AS the word angel
signifies messenger. it was natural that
this order of beings should take on
wings, which indicate speed. Hermes,
the Greek messenger of the gods, with
winged feet, is shown also with wings
on his golden sandals, on his broad
brimmed hat and on his caduceus. or
staff. He does not take on a birdlike
form, with wings ON his back. The
modern idea of an angel is associated
with kindness, sympathy and healing
devotion. Hence the modern angel has
no wings. She does not fly. She stays
by, ready to assist. Perhaps the real
type of the modern angel is best seen in
the trained nurse, who ministers to the
sick with patience and intelligence, and
who fulfills her mission without f1utter
or rustic.

That England regards a Russian move
