THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Although the thirty days trial granted to the
promoters of those automatic postage stamp vend-
ing machines is not yet up, observation of their
workings would not lead to the conclusion that a
fortune can be made out of them. Not that the
machines are not working properly. but they have
reached the stage where few but those interested in

One stamp 4 time is the best the boxes can turn

.flst at this time it is interesting to contrast
two phases Of the countryS emigration problem.
The great foreign movement from the port os
New York, involving as II does hundreds of
thousands Of people from the Latin countries
who have returned TO their homes in Europe
since the crash came in October. is not more
important and interesting than the smaller wave
of emigration which is sweeping good American
citizens and good American dollars across the
boundary line into Canada. Because it moves
quietly and naturally, and because the wave
does not pass through great port, but spreads
itself over a wide section of country. il passes
with little notice
Yet while the Italians and Austrians have
been crowding the steerage accommodations Of
the transatlantic liners and carrying with them
the money which they may have accumulated by
the lowest form Of productive labor, it is est
mated that about forty thousand citizens Of the
United States have crossed the border into
Canada, leaving for the immigrant from foreign
shores the well titled acres which have made
many Of them prosperous. Although absolute
figures are not obtainable, it is perhaps safe 70
accept the estimate that Of these forty thousand
emlgrants at least five thousand carried with
them an average Of $1,000 EACH or q total of
s4o.OOO!OOO, a sum probably far in excess of that
carried away by the numerically larger host
which crossed the Atlantic during the same
period
1t would seem. therefore, that in the matter
OF emigration the country gets caught coming
and going" The European immigrant comes
here. IN many instances, with the intention of
sending his money away from this country and
eventually following it back to Europe. and in
the event Of financial depression both money
and man depart. The native emgrant who
crosses over 10 Canada does 50 with the inten-
fion Of building up a better home than the one
he has left, and be frequently goes not because
he is poor, but because he is prosperous lie

ANOTHER EDEN COME TO GRIEF.

The wealthy proprietor of a model factory
in an Ohio town who has come to New YORK
to escape the petty annoyances to which his
employees have subjected him has had COM
mon experience. He made them profit sharers
in his enterprise. He built them a gymnasium
and a hall equipped with a $4,000 organ
Lyceum lectures were given every week and
education in arts and sciences took up q part
of the workmen's time every day. In return
for this they kept him busy IN the courts an
swering their lawsuits, and, 1t Is said, entered
into a conspiracy to have him put into an in
sane asylum.
Efforts like this at welfare work" often
turn out unhappily. Kindly intent1oned plans
to make employees healthier, more intelligent
and happier are frequently resented as petty
tyranny, Philanthropy is suspected Of some
base, mysterious motive, and the inevitable
regulations by which it Is sought to better con-
ditions promote endless chickering's and recourse
to the courts. Perhaps the Ohio millionaire's s
profit sharers objected to his making too much
of a hobby of their welfare because 1t cut into
their profits. At any rate, his experience and
that of many others proves that when an en-
ployer attempts to treat his employees in a
different way from the prevailing one he
disturbs the balance Of nature and in a
little while each is wondering why the other
is not in an insane asylum. Only the greatest
tact can prevent a would-be benefactor from
making mortal enemies.

A FORTUNE FOR A NECKLACE.

as the moral and social aspects Of industrial ac-
cidents are noticed, and the necessity becomes
apparent of educating the public TO such an
understanding of the great problem that law
makers will be guided to follow Germanys fine
example In guarding the workingman against all
unnecessary peril. To teach the multitude the
fair possibilities of protective industrial laws
and devices is the true purpose of the exposition,

Some of the incidents in war play
