uted among the employees last year, and that the banks of the city
will be equally economical with respect to an increase Of salaries.
The contrast in these reports is not so much between the two
cities as between the two classes Of industry. Manufacturers in Chi
cago will distribute shares of stock and cash bonuses. Bankers and
brokers in Philadelphia will not.
There il, Of course, a reason for this contrast. Ii Is not likely that
manufacturers during the year have made more than banks. But
large manufacturing industries in Chicago have learned the Advantage
of profit sharing. 1t appears the Philadelphia bankers have not.

For the service of the unfortunate a hundred channels ire open.
No man of means need withhold his hand because he does not know
where, nor what, nor how to give. Wel-organized societies re ready

Grand Trunk Changes.

Last Friday Charles NJ. Hays was
confirmed as president of the Grand
Trunk Railway. The new president OF
the Grand Trunk at once signaized his
formal appointment 10y issuing a circu-
lar providing for his successors. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Hays intends to retain
the position of general manager, since
NJ successor to that position has been
appointed. But under the new regime
all the vice presidencies will be held III
Montreal.
f.. II. Fitzhugh is moved up to be-
come first vice president, William Vain
wright second, and NJ, NJ. Reynolds
third vice president. The other two
Vicc-preSidencleS are not as yet filled
and no announcement has been made a,
to whether any appointments will be
made or not, these positions having been
in the past rather forced by the fact OF
other presidential offices having beer
held in England. In addition to these
promotions, +, S. Logan, who has long
been associated with Mr. Hays, is made
assistant to the the president.
None of these changes were unexpect
ed, and while they effect IA tituIar new
regime, with distinct increase in tn,
recognition of the principle of centrali
cation of authority in Canada, where j
can best be exerted, the redistribution
of executive offices will make littl
change in the policy of the railway
which will be directed in future, as il
the past, by Charles NJ, Hays.

QUEER VILLAGES
Some Peculiar Ones That May Be Seer
In England.


The English village is very dear 10
the hearts of poets and painters, and
thousands of them are certainly charm
ing. A few, however, are more anus
ing than anything else-as, for in
stance, one which consists entirely OF
old railway carriages, even the chapel
being composed of four horse trucks
Another village, with population OF
LOO and taxed It the valuation OF
$4,000, has neither school, church MOI
other public building, the only thing OF
the sort being letter box on pillar.
Villages with but single inhabitanl
are not unknown, one of them being
Skiddaw, in Cumberland The single
villager complains bitterly because he
cannot vote, there being no oVerseer to
prepare voters list and no church OF
other public building on which to pub
fish one, as the law requires. The
lonely rate payer in NUrthumhcr
land village has declined to contribute
money to maintain the roads, remark
ing that the one he has is quite good
enough for its use, III the isle of Ely
is little parish with about a dozen
inhabitants that has no rates. rs there
are no roads or public institutions OF
any kind and consequently no cx
penses,
kempton, near Bradford can proba
bly, lay successful claim to the distinc
ton of being the longest village in tn,
world, as it struggles along the road
for distance of seven miles.
Sometimes village will entirely
disappear, having been bllt either OF
the edge of the crumbling cliffs thai
make part of the coast line or over al
ancient mine. One of the latter elias,
is in Shropshire, and each year on,
or more of the cottages tumbles rs the
earth sinks beneath it. - Harper.
