Index to Prosneritx-

The earnings of the great steel cor

the prosperity of the country. The
figures for the calendar year 1906 are
impressive. the total being over 1885,
$4,000. against Sis, S5O,OOO in 1905,
$73,176,0OO in 1904. and $1O9, 271, 900 in
1908. The showing for last year was
result of the phenomenal activity in
building, railroad construction and i'm
provement and steadily increasing de-
mand for iron and steel in every form.
And, continues the Troy Times, the

Trouble Ahead.

The trustees of the public library at
Maiden, Mass, announce that they
will not put in circulation a novel
which a decent woman may not read
70 decent man without blushing." AS
this is standard of excellence which
cannot be applied a priori, it may be
necessary to appoint a committee to
exercise the novel censorship. The
difficulty of finding decent man will
De e9ualled only by that of submitting
q decent woman to such an ordeal,
says the New York Post. The latter
might, after time, grow hardened
and maintain deathly pallor while
reading aloud from dubious works. It
would not always be easy to distin-
guish a blush of modesty from what
noyelists call flush of vexation."
The man might even blush while the
woman remained pale, and, lastly, the
omshing might be caused not by the
book. but by the presence of the man.

New Plan to Save Child Labor.

A proposition to take all children
under IA years of age from factories
and other places of employment and
send them to school has been made by
N. o. Nelson, a millionaire manufac-
turer, to the women's clubs of St.
Louis. Mr. Nelson is to pay the chill
dren' half the amount they would re-
csive for their work, and the clubs the
other half. The clubs have yet to give
their decision and, pending it, Mr.. Mel
son has undertaken to do the work
himself, says Reader Magazine. He
has investigated for several weeks
past every application to the truant
officer for permits for children under
age to work in the factories, and has.
at the present writing, found seven
worthy cases. Each week these chill
dren call at Nelson's Office and receive
the money they would have been paid
Tor working-an average of three dol
lars week. Then the children have
been returned to their schools. In
less than one-third of the cases inves-
ugated by Mr.. Nelson did he find the
people to be actually in need of the
childrens services.
