Ten millions work, men are thus insured against siokness, 17,000,000 against aooidfent, 10,000,000 Bgainst disability from old age. Bix hundred and seven thousand persons receive the benefit of this fond in yearly pensions In- • oidentall> there has been an | immense benefit in the inorense of oare and precautions to preveut accidents and to redoes dangerous occupations. The employer who is not ye willing to protect his workmen for kindness’ sake will do it to escape heavier taxes.-—Everybody's Mags zine. Tbs Yeomss Saw Mill.
