Literary Notes.

Burton J. Hendrick thus tells in the "Chustmas McClure's" the growth of the industrial pension system:
 aOne of the most significant develop ments of the last ten years has been the adoption Of pension plans by more than seventy great corporations. This is one of the most tangible ways in which wage. earners have proiited from the eountrsas : recent industrial prosper" ity. In lsgs The pension idea was prac- tiealy foreign to the country; now it is very much in the air. In that year only one railroad, the Baltimore X Ohio. systematically granted retire mcnt allow ances: since is9S, eighteen lines, representing one-third of the railway mileage of this country, have adopted automatic pension schemes.
 Ten years ago almost none of Ameri- ca s great industrial corporations regu- larly made provision for their old men; now the largest do so. or have plans al present under way to that end. Until
 
 impressed our rich men as suitable sut jects for philanthropy; since then, An drew Carnegie alone has given nearly S20, ,o0o 900 for this purpose.
 The International Harvester Gompa- ny, the latest to adopt the pension idea, Is one of these corporate aggregations popularly referred to as trusts. As with most trusts, its management Is mar vel ofintelligenee and enlightened self interest \ survey of the field reveals one significant fact; among corpora tions II is chiefly the trusts an the rail- ways that have most enthusiastically taken up the pension idea. Those cor pafations and those captains of indus trs that have figured in recent years most eonspienonsly as the eNemrlars of n pItiless eammereialism have appa- rentiy developed the tenderest emo tions toward their broken down em- ployes.

Velocity has a great deal 10 de with some substances ability to cut through another, says "The pathfinder,n and il k remarkable what can be accom- plished by a comparatively soft sub- stance against much harder one when the former K given enough velocity. A bullet made Of a tallow candle would mash flat if fired against board from ii toy gun but when shot from an army rifle il will go right through the board. \ stream of water has been known to have such swiitness Of movement that sword was broken in two when a strong man tried to cut il through. Cy- clones have been known to drive such frail projectiles as straws we'll into a tree.
 An interesting experiment showing what a soft substance can do, may be performed by attaching Bristol board disk to the motor of an electric fan and setting 1t to revolving at the fans usu- al rate. If piece of wood, such as a lead pencil, for example, be carefully applied to the edge of the revolving disk the wood will very readily be cut through. Of course, if the disk were to revolve slowly the wood would blunt it's edge,
 "rhe Pathfinder" may be right theo- retieally in stating that tallow bullet would go through board If fired from aa army rifle, but practically il would not, as the heat from the explosion would melt the taliow bullet. Ne knew of an instance where the experi- ment was tested, and when the rife was discharged there came from the barrel splut,ering of hot tallow.

Reasoniug Upon Immortality

aWe have been treated of latee says the Springfield Republican, "te quite
 u succession of opinion from people of the highest intellectual attainments, that man does not exist beyond the grave. Ex-Governor Daniel H. Cham. berisin, in the ripeness of his years,
 wrote down for posthumous pablica- ton his disbelief in the immortality of the soul. Not long since Goldwin smith, viewing the matter from the night of so years of experience with life, and 60 of conspicuous intellectual achievement, expressed his views thus: T decline to accept Bishop Buffers the ory of the soul as being apart, encased in the body and sct free from it at death. And only within three or four weeks it Is made public, what his tnti- mate friends had long known, that the late Charles Eliot Norton had no faith in the theory of immortality and no particular longing 10 cultivate such a faith"
 There k not particle of evidence in the Bible that man possesses inher- ent immortality or that the soul exists after death. The gospel declares that |" immortality is the gift of God to them who, by patient continuance in seek for . immortality, will ueE eternal lite. Se Paul declares in his malchsess account of the resur- reetiea in 18th chapter of lst CoFinthi- ans, that when the dead stse their bo dies come up ineorruptble, spiritual in contrast with the natural body; and if there is no.resarretion the dead saints are utterly ohliteraied, and it Is useless to struggle for any future and therefore, he adds "we

The small letter ''sa after number means that many of the absences were due to illness.
 It takes but glance at these figures to convince one that the Woodstock schools are ahead of the Eastford schools in attendance, although the actual per cent. attendance in Eastford Is higher than that in Woodstock. You will observe that the per cent. in Woodstock has been brought down al- most entirely through sickness. This is not true in Eastford. To make this clearer, let me say that even though there are twice as many pupils registered in Woodstock as there are in Eastford, yet, in November, there were 65 fnll-day absences in Eastford against only Sl in Woodstock, and these particular absences were due nei- thef to sickness nor injury This con vinces me that Woodstock is far ahead of Easttord in attendance.
 The good attendance in Woodstock is the result of an united effort on the part of the teachers, the pupils, and the parents. Each pupil has been brought to understand that by coming to school ne is not only getting some thing for himself, but he is actually making money for his town, and, best of all, is being fair to his class and teacher.
 cannot refrain from making 6 spec ial mention of the result achieved in district fourteen. For three months Miss Mary F. Potter, her pupils, and the parents if district fourteen, have been trying to have the best attend ance of any district in Woodstock. It has been hard fight for them for oth- CT districts iwere also trying for first place, but success came to this district last meath. During that month not pupil was absent nor tardy. This was perfect attendance, and was achieved, 1t did not happen. Such efforts are worthy of notice, and should please everybody.
 We must remember that one person cannot secure good attendance. It must come through united effort. Let me illustrate. Joseph Henries, of dis trict twelve, has had perfect attend anee for three full school years. This means he has not been absent nor taf- dy. Bat he cannot do everything. as Is shown by The per cent. attendance of hts district. sWe must al work togeth- CT fl We are 10 eNen approach perfect attendance.
 From time to time the per cent. al. tendance in EaslfoFd and Woodstock will appear in this paper,

College Boys at a Fire in Turkes

Not long ago fire broke out in tba city of Marsovan, Turkey, the home of Anatolla College fine educational in. stitution for boys supported by lbe American Board. The difference in discipline and efficiency between the native fire department and the volun. tary work of the students made q deen impression upon those who witnessed the confiagration. When the alarm sounded, at two o'clock in the mon. ing, the Turkish firemen started vith a small hand machine across the civ. making a terrific noise withibloxine trumpets. Somewhat later the boys from Anatolia College set out with little old engine and an outfit q tn buckets, used on the mission pemisn It was a slow process to reach theseene over pitching streets and Asiatic cob. ble stones, but the boys were then ahead of the fire brigade, and their it | was doing it's work before the city pump had found connections. After an hour's | fight the flames were extinguished, | | neighboring mosque was saved and general confiagration avoided. Then the boys gathered up their tackle, gave three lusty cheers for Anatolia, and trotted home to bed in martial order.
 t All that time the city engine lay use- less, while the municipal firemen rsa around the streets borrowing tins and tubs to carry water to their engine, ,hag ing neglected to provide buckets. lfl river had been flowing before the build ing they could have done nothing but dip water with their fezes. The next morning people in the market plss talked in excited tones about the stu dent brigade. They said, We thought people had to have engines to put out fires, but we see it is done with un bucketsw They were loud in then praises of the discipline and ofdef maintained by the students, and Of sne splendid way they met an emergene!
 There are more serious emefgenna than fires in the land of the Suitae just at present time, and our Amen can Christian schools and coleg0 ~ turning out the right sortof youngm to meet them. American ffiendamp shown to Turkey at this crisis in ne' history is likely to bring as rlcn v wards as it has in Japan. In ": better way can we express tnls iiisas ss. ship than by supporting colleges a'as Anatolia?

How Copenhagen Solved the Milk Prob.

In an article in the Christmas "Mc- clnre's su Samuel Adams Hopkins tells how Copenhagen has solved the milk problem. The task has been aecofii- plished by the Milk Furnishing Socie- ", of whose work the writer sass; "No dairies, farms, CT cattle are owhed by the Society lts functions are those of distribution and control solely, its aim k education and sanitary projections it~ official motto k. sPure Milk from sound Cows. Forty farms, with about 000 cows, are under Il rigid contract
 with the organization. By this con tfaet the farmers bind themselves to feed their mlik cattle on certain speei- fled classes of fodder, to turn them out
 te pasture during the season, and te re- 1 port at once any disease among the an imals, the employees, or the family of
 any one connected with the dairy.
 "As to the animals, even were the l farmer inclined to violate the oath that
 he takes, there is small opportuni. 1 N of concealment, since the Society x 1 ty $ veterinarians inspect every COW
 in every stable at least once month,
 and have the right of entry and in-
 speetion at any time, The farmer IS l further encouraged to report any sus-
 pieious ailment of his cows, since, be- tween the time of such. report and the arrival of the veterinarian, all milk
 from the suspected animals Is paid for l by the Society at the regular rate, al- 1 though none ef il k used. should con l iagious ar inttct ous disease appear I among the stati ot the dairy, or in any household wherein member ot the slan lives, the society refuses all milk
 until such time as Il is certified unin- feeted, and it for use, and this at It's own expense, since Il pays for the total output.
 That is. the Milk k-furnishing Socie- ty of Copenhagen guards itself not only from selling infected milk, but against selling milk that Is even under suspi- cion of being infected.
 "The contracting dairy farms are re- quired to be, and are, models of clean liness. The stables are specially built, in most cases, and are kept like New England kitchen. The cattle them selves are groomed, before milking, like horses for s showring, and if this seems to smack of meticulous precision at first thought, il must bc remem Der ed that an ungroomed COW, while being miiked, may shake filth or hairs into the milk receptacle. No dry-sweeping in the stables is permitted, to fill the air with possible germs and inevitable dirt. The milkers are dressed in spe- cial costumes, frequently changed, and there are always soap, water, and tow els convenient To the milking loom, hieh the milking force is expected 10 use frequently.
 ss Immediately after milking, the milk Is strained, poured into the ster- illxed recepsaeles provided by the So- ciesy, cooled to five degrees centigfade, and set In cold chamber. Ky arrange nenl with the railroads special eafs are ready at hand, and she product k ship ped to the society's headquarters in Copenhagen, a private track bringing II 10 the doors of the great central build ing. lSuallS the milk reaches the con sumer before 1t k twelve aOars ed. al. WAYS before 1t k twenty four hoars old.
