They may be retired at the option of the com- pany when they have reached the age | of fifty-five years been twenty-five years or more in service. The pension age of female employees is in each case five years younger | than that of male employees. Any ! employee who has been thirty years in service, regardless of age, may be pensioned on the approval of the president of the company. The amount of the pension is auto- matically based on the years of ser- vice and the amuont of pay, and will be on per cent. of the average annual pay for ten years, multiplied by the number of years of service. Therefore, a man who has been thir- ty years in service would get thirty per cent. of the average salary which he had been receiving during his last ten years of service. No pension will be less than $20.00 a month. Accident Disability Benefits In the case of accidénts occuring in and due to the performance of work for the company, the employee will receive for total disability, full pay for thirteen weeks and half pay | for remainder of disability, up to six years. : If the disability is temporary, he will receive full pay for thirteen | weeks and half pay until able to earn | a livelihood, not exceeding six years. Sickness Disability Benefits Employees who are disabled by sickness or accident outside of the regular course of duty after ten years or more in service, will receive full pay for thirteen weeks and half pay for thirty-nine weeks; if from five to ten years in service, full pay for thirteen weeks and half pay for thir- teen weeks: if from two to five vears in service, full pay for four weeks and half pay for nine weeks. In the case of employees who have not been two years in service, heads of departments will be permitted 'meI same discretion as heretofore, in | continuing pay during temporary ill- ness: and have ! Life Insurance In the case of death resulting from accident in and due to performance of work for the company, an insur- ance amounting to three years’ pay will be paid to the dependents of the employee, the maxium payment Dbe- | ing $5,000. In case of death resulting from sickness or from accident outside ! the business, the payment will be one | years’ pay for employees who have been ten years or more in service, and one-half of one yeara's pay for employees who have been from five are co-operative store and organiza-| the fashion of those days he was re to ten rs in service, the maxi mum payment being $2,000. : If any state statutes provide for| more liberal compensation than is; provided under the benefit plan, the; statutory provision will prevail.! Where the employees have legal | rights, as in some accident cases,i th ill have the option of exer-} cising such rights or accepting thef company’s benefits. The American Telephone and Tele- graph company has set aside from its | surpius, a fund which provides for, those who it directly employs, and also provides a reserve, upon which, ' under certain conditions, the associ- ated companies may draw. This ; fund is supplemented by funds set: aside by each company. The total ! appropriations will aggregate some- | thing .more than $10,000,000. The; benefits, it is estimated, will cost an- | nually about $1,000,000 more than! the present payments on this ac—i count. The administration of the funds will be in the hands of employees’| benefit committees of five, to be ap- pointed by the board of directors of each company. The committe of each associated company will have Jjurisdiction over the benefits for em- ployees of that company. The Employees’ Benefit Committee of the Ameiran Telephone and Tele- graph company will have general Jjurisdiction over the plan for the entire system and specific authority as to the American Telephone and Telegraph company’s employees’ ben- efits. ¥ COMMITS MURDER AND SUICIDE.

YALE AND PRINCETON TO CLASH Big Eastern Teams will Meet on Gridiron Saturday. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 15.—Follow- ers of the colors of Yale and Prince- iton are trooping into town for the game which will award football hon- ors to one or the other university tomorrow. The town is gayly at- tired and the streets are thronged with the “early birds”. Hotels, clubs dormitories and fraternity houses have been thrown open to the alum- ni, and numerous impromtu class re- unions are being held. The sale of nearly 30,000 tickets indicates a re- cord-breaking attendance at the game. The officials selected for the contest are already on the ground. They are: Referee, W. S. Langford of Trinity; umpire, Neal Snow of Michigan; linesman, Lieutenant Nel- ly of West Point. NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD San Francisco’s new labor temple| will cost $200,000. Laborers are much wanted in the nitrate fields of Chile and in rail- way construction. There is a movement on foot in Providence, R. 1., to increase the pay of the public school teachers. The new Industrial Banner, print- ed in the interest of workers, has made its appearance in Boronto, Ont. During the recent session of the British Trade Union congress com- pulsory arbitration of trade disputes was strongly opposed. Moving pictures, their develop- ment and production, mean steady employment in all the branches of the business for about eighty thous- and persons in the United States. The New York State Federation of labor is requesting all legislative candidates to pledge themselves to vote for a workman’s compensation measure in the next legislature. San Francisco, Calif., Barbers’ Un- ion adopted a resolution that every member of that organization shall, in an effort to help the movement| for union goods, wear five garments that bear the union label. The Trade and Labor Congress of Canada has_grown to proportions which have made it the great mili- tant force in Canada for the pro- tection of the interests of organized and unorganized workmen. France has probably the most| comprehensive co-operative societies of any country in the world. There tions of every kind for the aid of the] toilers, its members. Three of the largest labor organi- zation in Canada have now formed provinecial federations in Ontario, the bricklayers, the brotherhood of car- penters and the printers. The musi- cians of the province are discussing; the matter. All male employes of the General age of 70 years, if they have been in the service of the company for 20 vears. Women are pensioned at 60 i they have completed this service. According to records of the insur- ance commerce commission, praecti- cally every railroad employe in the United States has had his pay in- creased within the last five years,| and the great value of the increases has come within the last three years.

DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED English Physician Gives 8ome Simple Rules That WIll Ald Seekers After Health, A correspondent of the Medical Timeés sends an interesting note on deep breathing. The best time (he says) seems to be immediately before retiring to bed, as, doing nothing more before lying down, the habit contin- ues and becomes fixed; the window, of course, should be open more or less. After breathing in as much as pos- sible through the nose (out, anyhow, either mouth or nose), the nose should be held by the thumb and fore- finger with a handkerchief for about fifteen seconds to prevent the escape of air, and thereby force the constitu- ents of the air over the system. This should be repeated from four to eight times at intervals of about half a min. ute. The particular proof of this being more effective than other methods is seen in the following experience: After following the above method I notice that at the heaviest meal of the day my pulse quickens the same Whether I take fish or a strong meat, such as beef or mutton; before observ- ing the above points in deep breath- ing as to time and holding the nose my pulse quickened much more afte er strong meat than after fish. BYRON FOND OF CHILDREN Frances Lady Shelley Describes the Famous English Poet as . She Saw Him. Frances Lady Shelley, who knew most of the celebrated people be- .tween the dates 1787 and 1817, gives a deseription of Lord Byron as she first saw him in 1813: “From Althorp we went to Colonel Leigh's, near Newmarket, for the shooting. We stayed there a few days. The house is far too small even for the company it contained. Lord Byron was there. Mrs, Leigh told me that he spent most of the night writ- ing a poem which is to be called “The Corsair.” As he did not leave his room until after midday our inter course was restricted. “He 1s decidedly handsome and can be very agreeable. He seems to be easily put out by trifles and at times looks terribly savage. He was very patient with Mrs. Leigh’s chil dren, who are not in the least in awe of him. He bore their distracting in. trusion into his room with imperturb- able good humor. Mrs. Leigh has| evidently great moral influence over her brother, who listens with a sort of playful acquiescence. But I doubtl the permanence of their effect upon | his wayward nature.” Cornellle Not in Want. It has long been a literary‘tradition that Corneille, the great French poet, died in want. But it seems clearly es tablished that this is a mistake, dating | from an apocryphal and ill interpreted letter, since a recent study eof various old documents at Rouen shows that he was possessed of property in landl( and houses which would have made many a latter day poet happy. In ad dition he had his pension from the king, although it apparently wasn’{ very regularly paid. And following compensed for noble persons. As for the sale of “Polyeucte, /‘Horace,” “Le Cid” and the othel dramas over which so many young sters have groaned, through the mis taken policy of fereing students with scarcely a smattering of French gram. mar to wade through the classics, they | doubtless had small sales, as saley are reckoned now, but we are assured that sell they did, and they may even| his dedications ta; have been the best sellers of theiy the country on the question of with- drawing from membership in the A. F. of L. National Trades’ Depart- ment. The proposition was defeat- ed by a 6 to 1 vote. NOTICE. Notice—Furs repalred, cleaned or remodeled. Satisfaction guaranteed.

The Egyptian lock, states the Irom monger, was an assemblage of wooden pins or bolts. It s possible that this suggested to Bramah his remarkable invention. The Roman lock was prac tically a padlock; and it seems prob able that the key was of Green origin, In Latin countries the locksmith never confined himselt to mere door furnl ture. At the very beginning—as now: adays in France—his art embraced all the wrought ironwork which serves to close and secure our dwellings, from a monumental garden gate and rail ings to a simple latchkey. That art reached its apogee about the fifteenth or sixteenth century, so far as the former class of work was concerned. Some medieval specimens—the hinges of the doors at Notre Dame, for in- stance—are 80 remarkable that en vious and humorous contemporaries have not fafled to hint that the smith who executed them must have sold his soul to the devil. Tennyson’s Pension. Our note published in this column on Peel's contempt for literature re calls the fact that it was Peel who ob- tained Tennyson his pension of £200. It was not, however, from love of pos try—S8ir Robert in fact never read a poem of Tennyson’s. Monckton Milnes, prompted by Carlyle, was the lever. One is reminded how Milnes at first demurred, protesting that his constitu. ents would think the affair “a job." And of Carlyle’s persuasion: “Richard he stormed, “on the Day of Judgment when the Lord asks you why you didn’t get that pemsion for Alfred Tennyson it will not do to lay the blame on your constituents; ¥ is you who will be damned.—West minster Gazette. Precaution Rarely Taken. A German medical journal draws at tention to a possible factor in the spread of infectious conditions of the mouth, nose, and pharynx that is not eufficiently recognized in many house- holds. It points out that common table utensils, such as forks, spoons and glasses, which come into contact with the mouth, are usually washed alto- gether, often with little care, and dried on the same cloth. This gives great opportunity for the distribution of infective agencies. For this reason particular care should be exercised in families where any member may be suffering from an infectious disease to sterilize the table utensils used in boiling water. People who complain of “catching cold” in many instances are merely catching infection from little understood and preventable sources. “Bait” Was Good. “How did you come to buy that worthless mining stock?” “Well, you see, I thought it was all right.
