PROFIT SHARING,
A Boston Store Said to Have Carried It
Furthest

Profit sharing, which In America, Il
virtually an experiment. has been in
practical application for a quarter Of a
century in England. The number OF
labor copartnership societies there rose
from fifteen In 1888 to 112 last year, with
an increase in business from $500. 900 to
above $50, 200, 600
The South Metropolitan Company last
year divided $3.50 900 among Its EMPLOYEES,
tine equivalent OF ~ per cent. dividend
on their wages. and In eighteen years 1t
has distributed t2.lO0 900 TO workmen as
their share Of the profits. Six English
gas companies adopted the profit sharing
plan during the year.
:. According TO Moody's Magazine Mr..
Carnegie says that Boston store has
gone furthest OF all In 'the direction Of
making its employees shareholders.
This establishment. he says, employs
TOO to 900 men, the capital stock is held
only by employees and Is returned to the
corporation at It's value should the en-
ployees leave the service. Every share
Of stock belongs to some one working In
the store.

/ /. The accidental deaths fell off. II the
classification is correct. from 1855 in 1907
to 20s in 1908. At the same time there was
an increase OF suicides. The year 1907
Is credited with POI suicides by gas, while
the year 1908 has 2Ss to its credit.
The number of deaths OF both kinds
~as 6a less in 1908 than in 1907. but the
Health Board records declare that in 1908
there were $50 fewer accidental deaths
than in l907. .iwhile there were 81 more
suicides. The classification depends upon
the way the officials Of the Coroners' ;
office viewed the matter.
That the number Of cases is increasing
{ steadily is shown by the fact that in 1901
the Health Board Of the city reported 2Ss
cases Of deaths from gas. The inquiry
follows, Why do these cases increase so
rapidlyi Do the visitors from Podunk in
creasing in number, still blow out the
gas? Haven't our country cousins yet
learned how to put out the gas at night?
Or are the large majority OF accidental
deaths those OF ignorant foreigners who
have never seen gas used for illuminat-
: ing purposes'
The gas company officials say that the
Podunk ignoramus is very rare bird
and that one or two deaths a year ON
account Of this cause are all that can be
attributed TO it reasonably. They say
that large number OF accidental deaths
do result from the ignorance Of the immi-
grant just arrived. but they are also OF
the opinion that most OF the accidental
cases are the result of drunkenness. They
assert that 95 per cent. Of the accidental
deaths come from gross ignorance or
carelessness. chiefly the latter.
Leaky burners or stopcooks cause some
deaths, but, it is asserted, they are COM
.paratively few in number. The intro
duction of gas stoves and the use Of hot
plates, as warmers in use in fats are
termed, also have brought their share
Of the accidental deaths, but these deaths
are declared to be the result Of careless.

ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT COBALT.
Lewiston Says the Deeper Works
Show Plenty of 4,OOO-Ounce Ore

julius A. Lewisohn, who has just
returned from one of his frequent
trips of inspection to Cobalt, says
that the camp looks more promising
than ever before in its history.
Soaking of the Kerr Lake mine, to
which he devoted most of his atten-
ton, Mr.. Lewisohn said conditions in
the property had greatly improved
since his last visit to the camp.
"Of the two veins, Nos. 8 and Z,
which have been the Kerr Lakes
principal producers SO far, No. Z has
been opened by shaft to a depth of
100 feet and the vein is still looking
well at the bottom" said Mr.. Lew
isohn.
ION the upper level on that vein
we have drifted $50 feet in high
grade ore, the vein running from. s
to Is inches in width. About the
same results have been obtained on
the lower level, where the ore runs
from 5000 to 1000 ounces of silver
to the ton.
ION the No. 8 the shaft is down
$50 feet and a Wine is now being
sunk from the sixth level. Here the
ore is running 1000 to 5000 ounces
to the ton. This working also is in
rich ore at the bottom.
I'VE have made two new strikes
at depth within the last month that
carry about 1000 ounces silver. One
of these veins was encountred at 100
feet and is either the No. 8 or the
No. 9 vein, so that We are assured
of a large amount of backs on this
vein. The Mcdonald vein is running
about 1000 ounces at 200 feet,
where it has been drifted on for
about so feet.
ION the surface we have recently
opened two veins so that we now
have four new veins. Our deepest
working is down nearly 400 feet,
which is the greatest depth reached
in the camp and the bottom of the
shaft is in good ore"

This cantata is the work of Alfred Rob-
ert Gaul. an English composer and has
been the most popular of any of his num-

acceptance in the United States than
elsewhere. perhaps. and has been given a
great number of times.
1t is Of more than usual difficulty and
the chorus has been working at it for
several weeks.
In order to make it popular and afford
an opportunity for any and all to hear it
the general price of admission has been
put at 25 cents. an exceedingly low price
for a production of the kind and one
whien ought to fill the church.
