" THE ROAD TO WEALTH.
INTERESTING LETTER FROM THE
GREAT AMERICAN SHOWMAN.
iy Leads to Rich, bat 'Tra
tawy I Misapprehended" od
Health Essential to Success A Safe
PIm Ambition, Politeness, Integrity.
The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin
trnljr says, "as plain ns the road to will."
It consists simply in expending less than
we earn. Many may say, "We under
stand this; this is economy, and we know
economy is wealth; we know we can't eat
our cake and keep it also. " Yet, perhaps,
aore failures arise from mistakes on this
point than almost any other. Truo
economy is misapprehended, and people
go through life without properly compre
hending what that principle is. There
are many who think that economy con
ftBtfl in savins cheese parings and candle
cods, in catting off twopence from the
laundress' bill, and doing all sorts of
little mean things.
Economy is not meanness. This false
economy may frequently be seen in men
of business, and in those instances it often
runs to writing paper. You find good
business men who save al' the old enve
lopes and scraps, and would not tear a
new sheet of paper, if they could avoid it,
for the world. That is all very well; they
may in this way save $5 or $10 a year, but
being so economical (only in note paper),
they think they can afford to waste time,
to have expensive parties and to drive their
carriages. True economy consists in
always making the income exceed the out
go. It needs no prophet to tell us that
those who live fully tip to their means,
without any thought of a reverse in this
life, can never attain independence.
THE LAWS OF HEALTH.
The foundation of success in life is good
health; that is the substratum of fortune.
Then, how important it is to study the
laws of health, which is hut another name
for the laws of nature. The closer we
keep to the laws of nature the nearer we
are to good health. Tolmcco and rum
should be shunned. To make money re
quires a clear brain. Xo matter how
bountifully a man may be blessed with
intelligence, if the brain is muddled and
his judgment warped by drink, it is im
possible for him to carry on business suc
cessfully. The safest plan, and the one most sure
Of success for the young man starting in
life, is to select the vocation which is most
congenial to his tastes. There is as much
diversity in our brains as in our counten
ances. Some men are lorn mechanics,
while some have a great aversion to ma
chinery. Unless a mnn enters upon a vo
cation intended for him by nature, and
best suited to his peculiar genius, he can
not succeed. After securing the right vo
cation, you must be careful to select the
proper location, and not begin business
where there are nlready enough to meet
all demauds in the same occupation.
No man has a right to exicct to succeed
la life unless he understands his business,
and nobody can understand his business
thoroughly unless he learns it by personal
application and experience. You must
exercise caution in laying your plans, but
be bold in carrying them out. A man
who is all caution will never dare to take
hold and be successful, and a man who
i all boldness is merely reckless and
must eventually fail.
There is no such thing in the world as
luck. If a man adopts proper methods
to be successful, 'luck" will not prevent
him. If he docs not succeed there are
reasons fur it, although, perhaps, he may
BOt be able to sec them.
Money is gowl for nothing unless you
know the value of it by experience. Givo
a boy $20,000 and put him in business,
and the chances are that he will loose
every dollar of it lcforc he is a year older.
Nine out of ten of the rich men of our
country today started out in life as poor
boys, with determined wills, industry,
perseverance, economy, and good habits.
EXCEL ALL OTHERS.
The great ambition should bo to excel
all others engaged in the same occupa
tion. Whenever you find the let doctor,
best clergyman, best shoemaker or any
thing else, that man is most sought for,
and always has enough to do. Every boy
should learn some trade or profession.
Engage in one kind of business only and
stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or
until your experience shows that you
should ntaindon it. A constant hammering
on one nail will generally drive it home at
last, so that it can be clinched. There is
good sense in the old caution nliout hav
ing too many irons in the fire at once.
Beware of "outside operations."
Read the newspapers, and keep thor
oughly posted in regard to the transac
tions of the world.
Be careful to advertise in some shape or
other, because it is evident that if a man
has ever so good an article for sale, and
nobody knows it, it will bring him no re
turn. The whole philosophy of life is,
first sow, then reap. This principle ap
plies to all kinds of business, and to
nothing more eminently than to adver
tising. If a man has a really good arti
cle, there is no way in which he can reap
more advantageously than by "sowing"
to the public in this way.
Politeness and civility are the best capi
tal ever invested in business. Large
stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements
will all prove unavailing if you or your
employes treat your patrons abruptly.
The more kind nnft liberal a man is, the
oore generous will be the patronage be
stowed upon him.
Preserve your integrity; it is more
precious than diamonds or rubies. The
most difficult thing in lifo is to make
money dishonestly. Our prisons nre full
of men who attempted to follow this
course. No man can be dishonest with
out soon leing found out, and when his
lack of principle 5 discovered, nearly
very avenue to success is closed ngaiust
him forever. Strict honesty not only lies
at the foundation of all success in life
financially, but in every other respect.

MAKING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
What Is Costa The Method Usually Em
ployed Pay for Contributions.
"How much does it cost to produce an
encyclopedia?" was asked of an expert,
and he said:
"That depends upon the method pur
sued in making it The American Cyclo
pedia cost $500,000 before a penny was
realized. The maps and engravings in
the work cost about $115,000. The best
lithographers were employed and many of
the pictures cost hundreds of dollars."
"How is an encyclopedia made"
"WelL usually after the method em
ployed in compiling dictionaries. Editors
are engaged for the different departments.
There is the religious editor, the medical

followed as regards the subjects they
treat of. The modern encyclop;edia, how
ever, has very much of auewspaper flavor.
It is based upon the principle of Ameri
can Journalism. It is timely and in

professional man in any science he choses

"Bow much do the contributors to en
ayclopssaias make?"
"Generally we pay magazine rates
that is, $10 per 1,000 words. Many of
ths articles, however, cost far more than
that. There are some contributors who
mcarra $500 or $1,000 for a abort article.

Then, again, we run page after page at
the cost of $20. Many of the writers are
men who hold the foremost rank in liter
ature. Consequently they demand large
prices for their work."
"How much money is invested in ency
clopaedias" "That is a difficult question to answer.
We have run into the millions on sales,
but it should be remembered that ency
clopaHlias are never sold in bulk. The
installment plan is always adopted. Our
contributors pay for each volume as it is
issued."
"In case a volume is lost, can it be du
plicated" "That depends on who the loser may
be. A regular contributor, one who has
been buying volume after volume for
years can certainly be accommodated.
His name is down on our looks, an we
recognize him as a patron of the house.
A genuine set of encyclopaedias cost n
great deal of money, about $150 to $200,
consequently they are sold in installment
and the purchaser is protected." New
York Mail and Express.
A Miserly Man's Luck.
Proverbially considered, the statement
that it never rains but it pours and that
water runs to the sen express different
phases of the same truth, and this par
ticularly irrational, inexplicable truth
fate spends her time in demonstrating.
For instance, take two things that have
happened to one rich, solitary old man in
this town within two weeks. -His name
is well known, though his enormous for
tune is not generally estimated at its
true proportions; he does not live like a
rich mau is a bit of a miser, in fact but
as numbers of people know, is the pos
sessor of numerous millions. He works
hard, as his work is the only thing he
takes an interest in, and his only recrea
tion, taken at the doctor's orders, is horse
back riding in the park.
To strangers he likes to put up a poor
mouth, for one thing, for the simple pleas
ure of seeing them fooled, and he recently
told a business acquaintance that he was
too poor to have a good horse; the busi
ness acquaintance was a rich Kentuekion,
not rich as compared to the other, but
rich for Kentucky. Touched by the old
man's bad mount, a thing that seemed
more tragic to him than it would to any
but a Keutuckian, he presented him with
a superb saddle horse, a sou of Golddust,
J perfectly trained and worth a small for
! tunc. A week later an old Culiforuian,
whom the old sinner had not thought of
in twenty years, but whom he liad known
in his youth, and who had grown misan
thropical with old age and hated every
body around him, dies and leaves said O.

Japan's Sacred Moaatala.
And back of all this, from the middle of
a range of small surrounding hills, there
rises to a height of over 13,000 feet the
snow crowned and gracefully rounded off
summit of Mount Fusiyama, the peerless
mountain of the Land of the Rising Sun,
without a representation of which no
Japanese picture is considered perfect.
Take all the fans and screens which are
yearly sent from Japan to the United
States, and niue out of every ten of them
will be found to contain a representation
of this to the Japanese sacred moun
tain. It is a grand sight, though rising,
as it does, almost to the clouds, with not
a companion mountain for hundreds of
miles, and we cannot blame the Japs for
regarding it with a reverent superstition.
It is quiet now, but from the frequency
of the earthquakes with which Japan is
troubled we may rest assured that the
mighty giant is only slumbering, and may
at any time awake in anger and repeat
the terrible eruption of 1707, when it laid
waste the entire country round about, and
was accompanied by an earthquake which
shook down the greater part of the city of
Yedo (now Tokio), burying thousands of
the ioor inhabitants under iU ruins.

A Scientific Problem.
The very interesting scientific fact is
given elsewhere on the authority of the
"Advancement of Science," that when
people are sick above the diaphragm they
are optimistic, but when they are sick be
low the diaphragm then they nre pessi
mistic. It is very valuable information
and a most suggestive discovery. When a
man insists on being cheerful hereafter you
can account for it and pity him'; his dis
ease has got the upper hand of his dia
phragm, and there are only two things to
to be done either turn him over dis
creetly so that his diaphragm will show
above his ailments, or injure him about
the legs until Ids pessimistic virtues are
aroused. It is one of the curious features
of the case, going to prove the theory that
gouty people are pessimists while con
sumptives are always happy. Science,
for some strange reason, declines to de
fine the temperament of the man who has
no ailments above or below the dia
phragm. Perhaps it is not acquainted
with him. Hartford Courant.
Live Flees Wanted.
A singular advertisement attracted my
attention the other day. It was a call for
10,000 live flees, to be delivered in parcels
of not less than 5,000 each, at a certain
address. I confess my curiosity to know
what a mau could want with such a vast
number of these interesting little insects
led me to go and make personal inquiry.
I found the man was a flee trainer, and I
gathered these facts: That it takes three
months to teach a flee to do anything
worthy of a public performance; that
only one flee in a thousand can be taught
anything; that n performing flee usually
lives a year with great care, and that in
response to his advertisement he had only
received in three days one package, esti
mated to contain 3,000 flees, and they
came from the dog pound. He paid $25
for them and they were very good flees.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
A LACK OF WELL KEPT. LAWNS
ANO FLOWER GARDENS.
I Want of Interest la the Production ot

of Machinery.
Farmers are often blamed because they
do not have well kept lawns and flower
gardens in front of their houses, orna
mented walks about the premises, arbors
and shaded seats. Many state that lock
of taste accounts for the absence of all
these things. They are common in vil
lages, and they declare they would be
common on farms if their owners had any
appreciation of them. Farmers are also
I criticised because they do not raise a great
j variety of choice vegetables and small
fruit for home consumption. They are
often reminded that they could live much
Itetter than they do, and be at no greater
expense for food, if they would only set
out and cultivate fruit bearing vines and
bushes, have a hot bed and raise fine
j vegetables, such as celery, asparagus and
people have fine vegetables and small
fruits on their tables almost continually,
while farmers rarely ever have them.
They are also informed that all these
things "cost money" in town, while they
can be had in the country for the trouble
of raising them.
lcck ni iittle tihsgs.
American farmers, especially those liv
ing in the west, are informed that farmers
in France, Belgium and Holland obtain
the food for their families almost entirely
from their gardens aud poultry yards, and
are thereby able to convert nearly all the
product of their fields and pastures iuto
money. It has even been shown that
French farmers receive several million
dollars er year for the eggs they send to
England. Fanners in the prairie region
nre often informed of the important part
the garden plays in furnishing food for the
farmers in the eastern states, and they are
told that the rich soil in the west is much
better for producing vegetables than the
hard nnd stony soil of New England and
the central states. Still it must be
acknowledged that not much progress is
made in increasing the production of fine
vegetables and small fruits on western
farms. The men who follow farming as a
business in the west and endeavor to make
money by it have few lawns, but little
shrubbery small plantations of fruit,
smaller flower gardens, and only apologies
for vegetable gardens.
But for all this, and for all that, they
are not deficient in good taste, and not
uuapprcciative of the charms of beauty,
aud not insensible of the "joys of the ta
ble." They like beautiful siffreandiugs
and are fond of good living. A combina
tion of unfavorable circumstances gen
erally prevents them from beautifying
their farms, from "fixing up things"
about the house, from raising small fruits,
and from supplying their tables with
choice home grown vegetables. Western
farms are generally large, and the produc
tion of field crops is conducted on an ex
tensive scale. Labor is scarcer and dearer
than in most of the eastern states, and
very much scarcer aud dearer than in
those foreign countries where so much at
tention is given to the productiveness of
small fruits, choice vegetables and fancy
poultry. Most of our "hired men" are
new comers "greenhorns" who are in
competent to do anything but the course
and rough work on the place. They re
quire a large amount of directum to en
able them to do this properly. The farmer
has too many things to look after to en
able him to devote too much time to fruit
raising and gardening.
OFF TO THE TOWN.
Hands available for farm work appear
to become scarcer ever' season. Ambi
tious young men who nre acquainted with
field awl garden work are anxiou to ob
tain farms for themselves while land is
cheap. Almost all who work for wages
go to the huge towns to seek employment.
The consequences ure a scarcity of
farm laborers, poor service and high
wages. In many places men competent
to raise fruit, to lay out and plant grounds,
and to do work in a flower and vegetable
garden cannot be obtuined for the money
that farmers can raise from the sale of
crops, wool aud meat at the prices they
must now be sold for.
The general employment of machinery
on farms has also exerted an unfavorable
influence on small fruit culture, land
scape, vegetable and flower gaidening.
Persons who have become accustomed to
the use of machines in the Held do not
like to engage in doing work involving
the use of hand tools. It may be very
light work like preparing beds in a garden,
setting out strawberry plants and prun
ing bushes that produce flowers and fruit
it may be a change from ordinary field
labor but they nevertheless dislike it.
The substitution of machines drawn by
horses or operated by steam power for
tools that must be used by the exercise of
human strength has had a tendency to
diminish skill in most sorts of manual
labor. The man who has used n gang
plow, a riding cultivator, a mower, hay
rake aud self binding harvester for several
seasons has lost the skill he once pos
sessed in the use of the spade, the garden
rake, the hand hoe and the pruning
knife. He is no longer "handy" at any
kiud of garden work, nnd as a conse
quence he neglects it. Chicago Times.
Oar Hetel Hanntlag Aristocracy.
Every season the noble army of would
be aristocrats is swelled. We now have a
distinct, untitled, sham aristocracy which j
is infinitely entertaining. Go to any 01
the summer hotels throughout the land,
and you will find a large percentage of
well bred, well dressed, handsome Jews,
who interfere with no one, and never
mingle outside their own- race; a larger
percentage of wealthy gentiles, who wear
gorgeous dresses, have gorgeous turn outs,
gorgeous manners, and a gorgeous disre
gard for grammar; a few quiet, well
bred, reserved families, who lead retired
lives and bother no one; and a small col
ony of soi-dist-nt great ones, toward
whom the eyes of every one are constantly
turning. These people, on their arrival,
send forth the flat that "they don't care
to mix outside their own circle," and rude
remarks of theirs, to the effect that
"there is no one in the house with whom
they care to associate," are constantly in
circulation among the guests, and leave
some sore, some angry, some Jealous, and
a few philosophers amused. It is the se
cret desire of half the people in the hotel
to be admitted into this exclusive para
dise; they would do anything to be able
to sit in the heart of that little clique, as
it forms an aristocratic hollow square on
the shady side of the piazza. But rarely
are their pains rewarded. The hollow
square shows a chilling disregard of their
existence, which is more crushing than
deliberate insult. At the same time,
however, the young female hollow squarer
shows no disregard for the existence of
such young male pariahs as may be dang
ling about. She absorbs them with well
bred tranquillity, and hangs their scalps
round her belt, smiling dreamily.
But these hotel haunting aristocrats are
not genuine. They are only good coun
terfeits. Were they real they would have
had cottages long ago. But they are
smart, and they tldnk that it's much bet
ter to reign in hell than serve in heaven
a thousand times better to rule in a hotel
than be ignored in a cottage. They are,
moreover, clever managers, and have
given the subject study. Every attribute
is as it should be. They dress well and
talk well. Their manners are good, save
in the case of the lofty hauteur to which
they treat their so called social Inferiors,
and their social inferiors are more im
pressed by this than they would be by the
refined suavity of nature's grandes dames.
Taking them all in all, they are remarka
bly good shams, and as such deserve much
praise. The possessor of brains is a rarity

Oealaa aad Otamei Seas.
It is, perhaps, as natural for some peo
ple to forget common claims and duties as
it is for others to become absorbed in
them. One man dwells in thought and
shrinks from action, another is always
ax-tinsr without thinking bat. as Raskin
well tells us. "it is only by labor thatthat
thought can be made healthy, and only by
thought that labor can be made hnppy,
and tho two cannot be separated with im
punity." One is wedded to theories nnd
despises practice; another, with executive
power, scorns all theory as vaporous aud
impractical. One man, engrossed with
scientific research, neglects to control his
money matters, and involves himself and
others iu trouble; another, vigilant and
economical, cores not a straw for the most
wonderful message that science ever
brought. Some are too much absorbed in
lofty ideas or adventurous schemes to take
proper care of their physical welfare;
others, too much engaged with the claims
of the body to take thought for anything
beyond.
It is a very common mistake to suppose
that genius must always dwell in ex
tremes, and that to mediocrity alone be
lougs the power of balance and harmony.
While it cannot be denied that it is some
times the case, it is "hot by any means
either a necessary condition of things or
one to be desired. The man of genius
most to be honored and admired is he who,
whije devoting himself to some one high
aim or endeavor, never forgets other
claims and other relations. He is not sat
isfied to be a grand statesman and a neg
lectful father, an eminent philosopher and
a careless spendthrift, a fine astronomer
and a disloyal friend, an earnest reformer
and a cruel enemy. Whatever else he
may be, he desires to be a mau in the best
sense of the word, and to that dignity he
can only attain by cultivating the quali
ties which combine to form true manhood.

Diet of Strong Men.
Unner the heading of "The Diet of
Strong Men," you say: ''The coolie fed on
rice is more active and can endure more
than the negro fed on fat meat."
This is not at all the case in the British
colony of Demerara, on the northeast
coast of South America. There the coo
lies, who are imported from India, ;ire the
least robust of the three races employed
as laborers. They arc not at all muscu
lar, and are employed in hoeing the crops
and in similar light labor. The China
men, who are never called coolies there,
arc stronger, and they, too, are employed
in the crops, and also in mechanical and
general labor. But the heavy work, the
digging of ditches, the handling of heavy
timbers, etc., is id ways done by negroes.
No planter will employ a coolie in such
work, for his muscular strensth is not
equal to it, nor to any severe lalwr.
The coolie does not confine his diet to
rice, nor the negro his to meat. In De
merara the chief food of the laborer is salt
codfish and plantains. The coolie prolm
bly eats more rice aud less meat than the
negro, but iu other respects their food is
about the same. G. Robertson in Scien
tific American.
The Chinaman's Moral Ledger.
A good Chinaman, after his day's work,
opens his mornl ledger, so the Rev. Dr.
I)n Bose informs us. Here are a few of
the items which he con write down to his
credit: Ten points because he paid his
father's debts; 100 because when he was
rich he married a deformed (uglyh girl to
whom he was betrothed when poor. For
lending an umbrella it was only 1
point; for having saved the lives of 100
insects, 1 point; for having picked up a
grain of rice, 1 point; for not having
eaten beef or dog for one year, 5 points;
for having destroyed immoral looks, JUKI
points. Now per contra: To have loved
his wife more than his father and mother
is to dock himself not less than 100 points.
To have seen immoral theatricals figures
against him as 10 points. If he got drunk
that was 5 points to the bad. Because he
drowned a baby only 50 points. If he
had issued counterfeit money that would
have made his loss 100 points. To dig up
u worm in winter is 1 point more to the
bad. He might split his sides when he
saw' ait ugly person and be charged 5
points. New York Times.
How Creoles Conk C'ruln.
The creole style of cooking hard shell
crabs is highly approved by epicures, but
it doesn't recommend Itself to Mr. Bergh's
society for the prevention of cruelty. A
big iron pot is put over a very hot fire.
The bottom of the pot is then covered with,
say, three pints of the best White wine
vinegar, into which a few pinches of salt
are thrown. Upon this is sprinkled red
pepper. Then two or three narrow sticks
are placed above the liquid, the ends rest
ing at the sides of the pot. The cover is
put conveniently by for hurried uction.
Then the live crabs are packed in to the
full and the cover is put on. The steam
of the condiments soon enwraps them, and
when the carapax is cardinal red, "a dish
fit for the gods" is ready for the refriger
ator and then for the table. It is said by
those who have eaten crabs cooked in this
peculiar way that the natural moisture
and flavor of the meat are preserved and
that the boiled condiments give singular
piquancy to it. Baked tomatoes partly
stuffed with crab meat is a new delicacy,
and a juicy tomato with a layer of crab
meat cooked creole style isu't so bad. It
is called yum-yum and is fully entitled to
its suggestive designation. New York

The circular saw was in operation for
sawing lumber on our falls some years
previous to 1820. The inventors of the
circular saw were Messrs. Jacquith &
Eastman, who carried on the manufacture
of lumber in the cove, their mill occupy
ing the site where the pulp mill now
stands. I well remember seeing this saw
in oierntion previous to 1820, cutting out
clapboards. The logs were sawed into
four feet lengths and placed on a machine
propelled by water power and somewhat
similar to a turning lathe, where the
hark and sap wood were taken oil. They
were then fastened on the clapboard
machine, the log turning on its center and
a row of clapboards cut off by a circular
saw around the log, and if the log was of
sufficient dimensions a second row was
taken off. The log was propelled back
and forward and turned by machinery,
giving the thickness of a clapboard by an
index without the aid of a mill man. The
machine was considered a great invention
at the time and attracted much attention
from strangers visiting the town. Bruns

Fate of a Short Story.
I once wrote a little tale in half an hour
and would then have been glad to sell it
for $5. I peddled it to nearly every paper
in the United States and Canada without
avail. When about to cremate the story
a new paper appeared. I offered my sketch
and had the pleasure of correcting the
proofs two days later, conscious that the
following week would bring me $36, the
plates and the copyright of my sketch.
As long as the paper existed I was one of
its most favored contributors. And now
an odd matter in connection with that
6kctch. The editor thought it worth
covering by special copyright. Two hun
dred and thirty papers considered the
sketch good enough to risk violating the
copyright, and among the 230, 18G had de
clined the story in the two preceding years.

European Illustrated Papers.
I have been frequently asked what I
thought of the illustrated papers of the
Old World. My answer is, that they ap
pear to me to be very much liehind ours
in several respects, and notably in organi
zation. For example, the engravers and
artists In Europe are allowed to take their
work home, where they do it each in his
own way, and of course such a system
necessitates an enormous waste of time,
and prevents them from performing tho
rapid high pressure feats which we ac
complish in the United States. Although
European illustrated papers do not keep
abreast with the events of the moment as
ours do, still there is one point of superi
ority which I am forced to accord them,
viz., a more perfect finish and a more ar
tistic treatment, due, of course, to the
greater leisuie of preparation. Mw.

One Xlnate'a Prayer.
It is related that Governor Bob Taylor, of
Tennessee, once faced a man who pointed a
revolver at him and accorded him the privi
lege of one minute's prayer. The agile gov
ernorreduced his petition to the space of half
a minute and spent the other thirty seconds in
dodging a bullet and wresting the revolver
from tho iiitimidator. He then occupied the
space of several minutes in thrashing his as
sailant at leisure. Cleveland Leader
A SAFE TRACK.
THE RISK OF RAILROAD MANAGE
MENT IS THE MAN ELEMENT.
The Machine la Comparatively Safe, bat
the Kiuploye la Frequently Careless.
Some of the Ittilea of Kallroad En
ployea Watchfulness.
"It is n matter of grave surprise to me,"
iaid a railroad magnate of promiuence, in
conversation with a reporter, "that after
every accident on steam railways the peo-
pie raise a clamor alnmt that indefinite
j aud vague personage, the management,
j instead of seeking out at once the individ
I ual employe of the company to whose
carelessness, most probably, the mishap is
! attributable. With very few exceptions,
! railroads, iu their own interest as well as
the safety of passengers. The machinery
of the road can be kepi iu such a way as
to guard against accident to a reasonable
certainty. Metal works are easily
managed; the great risk in the operation
of the railroad is the man element. The
nearer the man becomes an automaton, or
like a machine, the safer he is. The
average human beiv in a suliordinate or
lowly position is prone to do what he is
distinctly told not to do, aud neglect to do
that which he is ordered to perform. As
I said, man is the risky link, but without
him in the running of a railroad it would
be impassible to get along. If we could
only get a machine to take man's place
along the line I would undertake to per
sonally guarantee the safety of trains and
their passengers.
"The nearer a railroad employe be
comes a machine the greater safety he
will prove to the railroad and his patrons.
The more devoid of vaulting 'ambition he
becomes the better he will be. You take
old conductors who have lieen in the ser
vice for years, who are perfectly satisfied
with their situations and do not aspire to
be general manager of the road, they
make the lest men for their places. They
do not think of anything else, and that
makes them valuable as conductors.
From the standpoint of safety it's better
for a mau not to think at all, but to
blindly follow instructions. The road
will advise him as to hi duties, place 1dm
iu a rut nnd oil his joints with a salary in
keeping with his place. When doing duty
for the railroad he has no business think
ing of anything else. His time is the
company's, and it pays him for following
instructions.
"A good many people," continued the
railway man, "do not understand that
the entire organization of a railway is
framed with particular reference to the
safety of the company's property and the
Ives of its patrons and employes. Let
me show you our instructions. All told,
they fill quite a large book. Moreover,
employes are required to learn these regu
lations. It is as much their duty to
familiarize themselves with them as it is
to lie on hand ready to go to work at the
'iour apjKiiutetl by their superiors. Rail
road hands, as a rule, are not the most
highly educated men. I would scarcely
care to hire a Harvard or Yale man for
switch service, or any job of that kind.
Iu the first place, the college mau would
spend too much time in thinking, instead
ot" attending to business. The caliber of
our men i such, as a rule, that it is not
only necessary to tell them what they
shall do. but also what they shall not do.
"We start out by instructing them to
take tin- safe side iu cases of the least un
certainty. Take the case of trackmen.
Thi-j are specially instructed by their su
periois to set 1:0 tire-, on windy days; to
leave no tire until they are sure it is ex
tinguished: they must examine culverts,
bridges, raiK, make all needful temporary
repiiirs, aud instantly report anything be
yond their capabilities. For the safe op
eration of trains the rules are so numer
ous that I can only mention a few of
them. Here is one which most people
will ho siirprifccd at. It reads:
' 'Trains nre to ie run under the direc
tion of the conductor, except when his di
rections conflict with train orders, the
rules, or involve any risk or hazard, in
which event it shall be the duty of any
employe to call the attention of the con
ductor or engineer to the risk they take,
and themselves at ouce take such action
as will secure the safety of persons and
property committed to their charge; and
if any employe shall neglect or refuse to
lall the attention of the conductor or en
gineer to the risk, or neglect to take such
action immediately as will secure the
safety of persons and property, in either
of these cases all participators will be held
alike accountable.'
"Every passenger train running at night
must display two good red lights on th )
rear platform of the rear car in the train,
and it is the duty of the conductor and
the rear brakeman to examine them fre
quently to see that the lights burn clearly.
Every passenger traiu must have a bell
cord attached to the signal bell on the en
gine, nnd passing through the eutire train.
According to the rules, irregular trains,
running under special or telegraph orders,
must be run with great care. Engineers
must run with great caution around all
abrupt curves, sounding the whistle at
least eighty rods before entering the curve,
and continuing to sound it at short inter
vals until the curve is passed.
"All trains except first class trains must
approach all stations, water tanks and
coal chutes under complete control, ex
pecting to find the preceding train on the
main track, whether it may be a stopping
place for that train or not. Iu case of ac
cident or stoppage upon the main track
from any cause, conductors must imme
diately protect their trains. Whenever
fogs or storms prevent an engineer from
seeing clearly in advance, the signal used
for obscure road crossings must le given
at intervals of one minute, until the train
is clear of the fog or storm. The absence
of a light nt night on any switch or signal
post where a light is ordinarily shown,
must be taken as a signal of danger; and
cngiueers approaching such switch must
stop or run slowly until the proper posi
tion of the switch is ascertained.
"In every first class railway organiza
tion there is a most elaborate system of
test inspection. Car wheels, axles,
brakes, rails, ties, bridges of all sorts,
lamps, signals, locomotive gear of every
description in fact, the whole road aud
all of its appurtenances are watched as a
hen watches her young chicks. The
great machine is kept almost perfect, ex
cept in the human parts. There the
great danger lies, and danger always will
b there as long ns railroads are operated
by men. The ideal railroad, so far as
safety is concerned, will come when some
body invents a railroad that can be run
without men." Chicago Herald Inter
view. He Knows This Trick Xow.
"Have any of you found a bank note?"
inquired a manin wild eyed excitement
as he hurriedly approached a set of
loungers at the Union depot yesterday
morning.
"Have you lost one?" asked an elderly
stranger of bland and sedate appearance.
"Yes, yes; have you found it?"
"Wait a moment. What was its de
nomination?" "It was a $50 bill national bank
note."
The stranger leisurely drew a roll of
bills from his pocket, looked them over,
took one out and passed it over to the ex
cited individual, remarking with much
urbanity as he did so:
"It is well for you, my friend, that it
was found by an honest man. I picked
it up a few minutes ago, and take pleasure
in giving back to you what I am satisfied
is your property."
"Thank you, sir; thank you. It's my
turn now to do the fair thiug. Here's a
$10 bill. You shan't refuse it. Take it,
sir; take it, or I shall feel hurt."
The stranger, thus urged, took the
money, and the grateful individual walked
off with his $50. He was considerably
surprised to learn, a few hours later, that
the bdl was not the one he bad lost at
all, but a counterfeit. He is now looking
for the bland and elderly stranger, but
there arc reasons for doubting his success
in finding him. Chicago Tribune.
Superiority of American Husbands.
It is a fact, which had already struck
me, and which I had heard frequently re
marked upon, that American wives,ifl
they are not allowed so much latitude la
flirtation as English ones, receive much
more deference and a greater snare or lea
petits solos from their husbands. An
American husband himself pays his wife
those little, attentions which in English
society usuallv devolve upon another
man if the lady happens to be pretty aud
agreeable, and which she does without if
she is neither. It is possible that the su
periority of the American system may lie
due to the case with which divorce can be
obtained in some states, and which, to
use a homely expression, put a pair "more
upon their p's and q's" with each other.
It may arise from a higher development
of the sentiment of chivalry in the breast
of the American man. At any rate, he
'shows to advantage in his domestic as
well as in his business relations. Temple
