Mountain Terraces of Luzon.
rom the Chicago New


Governor General Smith of the Phil
ipplnes recently made a tour of the noun
tain province OF northern Luzon, chiefly
inhabited by pagan tribes. On his re-
turn to Manila he said. THE journey
through the mountain country was a
revelation. I have never seen such Gull
tivation as we saw in the mountains.
Those people have terraced the noun
tains in some instances a thousand feet
high, and every bit of the land is under
cultivation.
Il do not believe there is anything in
the world than can equal the manner
in which the people of the mountains
have made their country productive 1t
certainly surpasses anything 1 have ever
seen. The terraces in Japan are pyglnies
compared with it. The earth and stone
were brought for miles, and the most
wonderful part about it is that the ter
races are as solid and substantial as If
they were part of the mountain itself.
Some OF them 20 to 100 feet high
and remain undisturbed through all sorts
Of weather and lan3slides. And at the
time these terraces We're made the people
were under arms, working with their
knives and shields close at hand and
with sentries on every high point of land
and mountain top"

THE SOLDERING" PROBLEM.
Employees Who Shirk Their Work.
Big Leak in Industries.
From American Industries.

From American Industries
The question of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
work and .dl:ng on the part of employ :
is a problem that ever employer who
carries pay roll of any proportions has
constantly to face. That ''soldiering'' ex-
lists in any plant where large lumber OF
employees are engaged cannot be dis
puted. How to prevent 1t, how TO stimu-
late employees to turn out an honest days
work for an honest days waea is the
perpleXing point.
AS any manufacturer knows, labor is
the principal element of cost in almost
every variety of CONNIE rcial work. In
some lines of manufacturing it amounts
to 80 and 20 and even so per cent of the
entire cost of production. In office work
the labor is the total cost, while in selling
the finished product il amounts to from
to so per cent of the article sold. Hence
it will readily be seen that the nece ssity
Of getting the full quota of work from each
enp,oye is of vital Importance to the en-
ployer who would have a balance on the
right side of the ledger at the end of the
year.

in the modern plant. Not only does the
slow worker waste his time, but he i'm

should five or six employees waste, say.
one-fifth or sixth of their time. it be-
comes necessary to employ an additional
laborer, and that means the installation
of another machine and additional floor
space, light heat and record work in the
office.
In spea king of this deTnoraliZing practice
a prominent employer of Chicago-a man
whose pay roll carries thousands of names
-rece ntly expressed the opinion that the
most efficient remedy for this commercial
disease, if it may so be termed, was to
offer a reward. Make the employees
profit sharers with the employers, thus
holding out to them all through the year
the hope of a reward for conscientioHS
endeav0r and loyal work. His corporation
at the close of each year divides the prof
its with all employees who have been with
the company Tor more than two years
To insure fairness and to make the
scheme practical a weekly record of each
employee is kept, and at the end Of the
year the heads of the house can at
glance tell just what each man has done
each week. This weekly report system
shows just how much work and wha,
character of work is done. The mana gel
of each department sees this report each
week; it is then examined by the general
manager, and finally req ches the officers of
the concern. In this way the house is
able to keep close track Of all its en-
ployeS.

were now happily married and living in
the west, and she had just returned from
a. visit to Sweden.
Katharine r. Crowel tells thus of some
experiences on Ellis Island:
On this day there are several steamers
coming In: 1t IS late in the afternoon of
one of the shortest days of the year; very
cold and dark. At the dock are many
lmmlgrants-many, many children, and
they are sorrowful and homesick little
children, for is not this Christmas eve?
And at home there would have been the
Christmas tree-a tiny one, perhaps but
stiil a Christmas tree-with candles
brightly Shining, and great delight and
festivity. All day long they had heard
no. hing but bewailings and regrettings
from the older people. until now their sad
little hearts feel very sore. No Christ
mas eve, no beautiful Christ-child in the
strange new land. SO they say over and
over again. 1t is very dreary-and cold
and dark
80 they have landed and now they pass
under the flag into Uncle Sans big warm
house. They. lift their heavy eyes-and
behold! Christmas trees? l should say
so. A forest Of them. glittering with gold
and silver. brightly twinkling with thon-
sands of tiny lights. and weighed down
with gifts. and from far above them floats
down the music of the song the angels
sang The children know the music well,
although the words are strange. Sad eyes
now? No! Heavy hearts? No! Look.
now. at the happy children! And this
fairyland of beauty is not all. Each one
has a box Of candy and an orange, and
every one. young one and old, has a gift
from those wonderful trees! Watch the
children as they open the little purses and
find inside a new beautiful-is it a gold
penny? There are little marks around
the edge which in a surprisingly short
time these bright children will learn to
understand to say The United States of
America May they be luck pennies
indeed and bring the very best kind of
luck with them! You wonder how all this
radiance and happiness could have been
brought about? I wonder. too, but it is
those wonderful missionaries who have
done it, though I fancy Uncle Sam

work-work and the spirit of the Christ

If you have not available the missionary
leaflets of your denomination concerning
this topic, search through the current
magazines and papers, also the current
religious papers. You will be sure to find
a rich cleaning. Have some one give a.
five minutes description of the arrange
ments at Ellis Island for receiving immi-
grants. Tell another to speak of the
other gates of entrance to our country.
Be sure to have the missionary's part
fully explained. Have another tell briefly
what we at home may do for the immi-
grants. Have some one speak briefly
about the immigrants who find their way
and impress the responsibility we have
for their spiritual welfare. Suggest how
a young woman may help the girl in the
kitchen, If she has a mind to do so, by
kindness and well-planned influence for
religious things. Ask five or six members
to follow each other in prayer for this

labor and how Christians may use their
influence against 1t. Have some one re-
cite Mrs. Browning's poem, 1.-THE Cry Of

In crowded mart by stream or sea,

Hear not the message from Thee!
Send forth Thy heralds, Lord. to call
The thoughtless young. the hardened old,
wandering flock, and bring them all
To the Good Shepherds peaceful fold.
