lily Suc p'putdr impression

his name is Taft. as q matter OF
fact Mr.. Roesevelts successor will

What the people did on No

These electors, 483 il number,

vice president. At tie meeting
on that day each body Of electors

Again the constitution requires
all electors to meet on the same

Thirty-three years ago a New York

ed one day by rather derogatory ref
erence in the Massachusetts, insurance
report to the work Of an English COM
pany, says writer in the Worlds
Work, which was insuring the lives OF
workingmen and children on a large
scale To-day that man Is president

which stand pledged to pay In the fu-
ture more than $1,000, 100000 to more
than 100000 people, which are dis
bursting $4,000 week to their policy

500, which have assets stored up of
nearly 150,OO0,OO0, and, most notable
Of all, which collect by hand, $4,000

Such a growth within the working
life Of one man is amazing, even In this
age of Industrial miracles, and an ex-
animation of its details heightens the
wonder.
Strangely enough, though one family
out Of every five in the United States
has one or more Industrial policies ON
some member, the average well-inform-

the system or its workings. But ask

GERMANY's TOYS

fheiR Manufacture One of the Coun-
try's Big Industries.
Some interesting particulars OF tho
by industry of Germany have been
published by tia British consul at Ham
burg. Toys constitute one of the most
important branches Of German manu-
!acture. In the year 1908 the total vol
1me OF toys exported from all parts of
the German Empire was 34,717 tons.
Valuei at S13,931,3T0. Though there is
hardly any country in the world to
which German toys are not exported,
the most important customer of Ger
many Is Great Britain, which in the
year under review received 12,21S tons.
The second most important market for
German toys is this country, the ex-
ports to which amounted in 1903 10 H.
055 tons. valued at S4,o93, 135.
The most important centers for the
manufacture of toys in Germany are
Nuremberg and Fuerth in Bavaria, Son.
neberg and some other parts of Thur
tngia and the Saxon "Erzegebirge. "
Nuremberg, above all, has long been
known throughout the world for Its
trade and industry, and German toys,
wherever made, still go In many coun-
tries by the name OF Nuremberg toys.

attempt that has been made to place
George Eliot on pedestal to which
she could never have any possible
right The attempt to rank her with
our four Incompatible masters OF
English fiction-Henry Fielding, Jane
Austen, Walter Scott and Charles
Dickens-is to me an absolute mega
ton of eriticism.-Clement K. Short

At Fuerth, which Is close to Nuremberg,
a fourishing trade and industry has
likewise sprung up since about the end
of the eighteenth century. Next to MI
remberg and Fuerth the town and dis
trict Of Sonneberg has for many years
enjoyed the best reputation for its toy
industry and trade, while In the Saxon
"Erzgebirge," a district comparatively
poor in natural products, the manufac-
ture of toys has likewise for some time
furnished source Of livelihood to
thousands Of its inhabitants.
The toys made at Nuremberg and
Fuerth are chiefly Of the metal variety,
made either of tin,- timed sheet iron
or of tin and lead alloys. OF the more
than 200 toy factories established In
both Of these towns, about $50 are de-
voted exclusively to metal toys, the
only part Of them worked by hand be-
ing the final painting, while all the rest
is manufactured by machinery. IN this
respect this toy industry Of the two
Bavarian towns occupies rather diff
ferent position from that Of all the
other parts Of Germany, where 1t Is al
most exclusively carried on by manual
labor; that is to say, by work-nec and
women in their own homes. The sue
cess of the Nuremberg and Fuerth met
al toy manufactures Is mainly attribu-
table to the skillful manner in which
the materials have been employed, and
in which the machinery and tools used
for the work have been adapted and
gradually improved by the toy manu-
facturers themselves, thus enabling
then, to produce large quantities Of
articles within a comparatively short
time. and to reduce the expenses Of pro-
duction, and in consequence also the
sale prices Of the articles manufactured
by them.-Scientifc American.

Whose morrow still q morrow makes,

To those W o seek to win and wear
