The Cigarmakers International
Union has the best financial system OF
any voluntary organization in this
country. This fact is acknowledged
by all who have ever made an invesn-
cation Of the subject. The funds OF
the international union belong to and
are centered in one common fund, but
each local union holds its share of the
funds in trust for the interns tlonal
union. And while each local UNION
keeps an account of its own financial
transactions. each is required to report
to headquarters. where the accounts
are also kept and drawn off annually
and presented to the members through
the columns of their journal. rms
plan insures perfect control and allows
each mem Der to know the standing OF
his own union as we'll as the stanGlns
OF each local union, and to know just
what is being done With the fund IN
which, under their system, he, with
the others. is equally interested in and
a joint owner. Un&er their system one
union that has exhausted its funds by
legitimate expenditure can, on appi1ca-
ton to headquarters, have funds sent
from any other local union.
The receipts of the international
union for the year 1901 were $751;
612.29, the expenditures S745, 294.2O.
This left only slight balance on hand
for the year, but with the amount on
hand the year before the organization
has a fund of 1921, 124.33.

The trouble between the brewers
and employees of Cincinnati, Covington
and Newport still continues. The
brewers say they must stand by their
new men who were employed during
the long lockout. and they want them
all taken into the union of the United
Brewery workers so as to comply with
the decision. This would prevent the
rein statement of all the 1900 men
who have been out, and it may cause
delay in settling the lockout and BOY

But all, he reads and prays,
And IL augh, God wot

one which has been disinterred at Co.
logne; often such pens have been dis
covered there.

new theory that lightning discharge
has an oscillating character, electro
magnetic waves being produced which
act upon the imperfect connections as
upon coherer, restoring conductivity
for a certain time. He is testing the
theory with a rapidly receiving cam

A Hard-worked Organ.

Think of the amount of work a
child'S heart mas to undertake. DR..
Lees has. calculated that at the rate
of one beat per second. which is some
what below this real rate, it will have
to contract no less than 1886, 900
times every year. If it survive for
fifty years, it will have performed the
enormous number of 1 ,576.O00,000 of
beats, and that during these fifty years
the heart will have to lift 1.5O0,O 900
tons to a height of one foot That is
the work which lies before the child's
heart if it survives through a life OF
fifty years.
