Railway Operatives Paid by the Hour.

The Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific
Railroad Company has, says the National
Car Builder, made an interesting exper-
iment which, by its successful result,
seems to have solved the labor question
so far as that corporation is concerned.
Several months ago the superintendent
initiated the plan of paying the en-
ployees of the company by the hour.
The mechanics in the shops of the COM
pany were all paid by this standard
while engineers and other train men
were paid according to the number of
miles they ran. The latter plan, though
obviously liable to produce inequalities
of compensation, is said to have worked
satisfactorily, so that in busy seasons the
engineers made as much as Sl50 month
la the shops, the men were employed all
through the season, but worked re-
duced number of hours, while in slack
times they were also employed fewer
hours, instead of being discharged At
first some of the workmen objected, but
a trial of the scheme is said to have con-
vinced all of them of its fairness. 1t
afford the corporation perfect protec-
ton against strikes, and removes all
cause of ill feeling between the employ
ers and employed. To some extent the
same mode of payment is practiced by
the Reading Railroad Company. The
brakesmen, and probably the engineers
and conductors, are paid by the number
of trips made.

Marriage OF a Widow in india.

In India there is q strong reform par
ty, the object of which is to promote the
marriage of widows. Formerly the Hin
doc widow considered it her duty to go to
the funeral pile and be consumed with
her husbands corpse; but this practice
having been abolished by the British
authorities in India, the plan of starving
has frequently been resorted to by wild
ews as a means of fulfilling the require
ments of their religion; while those who
have consented to survive their lords
have been obliged by public opinion to
wear certain dress, live in retirement,
eat sparingly, and make themselves as
miserable as possible.
Against such requirements the reform
party spoken of are waging bitter war,
insisting that there is no good reason
why Hindoo widows should not be per-
mitted to marry second time as well as
English widows.
A recent number of the Bombay Ga
zette contains an account of the tribula-
tions Of young widow named Jivokre,
who had charge of a girls school in a
village in the Broach collectorate, and
who so far defed native opinion as to
contemplate second marriage. The
mother of the lady discovered her de-
sign, and had her strictly watched to
prevent her bringing such disgrace upon
her family. A stratagem on the part
of the young lady's lover to evade this
surveillance was detected by the villa
gers, who rose in virtuous indignation
seized Jivokre, shaved her hair and cru
ely tortured her, after which she was
taken to another village and put under
lock and chain. All these indignities tc
Jivokre only served to increase the deter.
mination of her lover, who was school.
master, and he appealed to the magis
trate for aid. Eventually the widow was
released, while two of her peraecutor'
were committed to prison for trial, anc
soon after she was quietly married by
BrahmaDs in the presence of large
number OF the reform party. 1t is no
probable, however. that Jivokre'
troubles are over yet,for the Hindoos arr
greatly incensed against her for wha
they regard as a shocking violation o
morality. The priests who performed
the ceremony are threatened with ex
communication, and various ways will
undoubtedly be found to remind boil
husband and wife of the estimation il
which they are held by their neighbors
Still the event is considered importan
as practical step toward the correction
of false public sentiment among tn
Hindoos.

A Thorn in the Flesh,

Sixty-one years ago Mr. William Writ
man, well-known citizen of Bath
county, Kyle then being quite young
man-ran thorn into his foot, below
his ankle, from which he suffered con-
siderably. As it went deep, the attempt
of the physicians to extract it caused him
excruciating pain-so much so, that it
was deemed best to desist from further
attempt, for fear lock- jaw might ensue.
The thorn remained in the foot, and in
course of time the wound made by it
healed up. The pain ceased, and after
that he experienced no inconvenience
from walking on the foot.
Time passed on, and he thought no
more of the matter until last week, when,
feeling an itching sensation in the leg
just below the knee, he scratched the
part, when the skin loosened and gave
way, and, to his surprise, dark speck
was visible. He caught hold of it with
his thumb and fore-fnger, and pulling
at it out came the thorn. 1t had been
imbedded sixty-one years, and had made
its way thus far up his leg, coming out
or the side opposite to that in which it
entered. The thorn when 1t came out
was as sound as when it went in. All
the above is strictly true.

Increased Consumption of Sugar,

Though the manufacture of sugar was
commenced in the West Indies early in
the sixteenth century, yet its use in do
mestic economy did not become general
in Europe or America before the begin
ming of the last century. In the year
100, only 10000 tons were used in Great
Britain, though the English were at that
time the leading manufacturers OF sugar
The consumption of sugar in the British
Islands in the year 1870 is stated at
100000 tons. In this country the con-
sumption of sugar is steadily increasing.
Since the close of the late war, the ratio
of increase has been about 10 per cent.
annually, and in the year 1871 the sugar
consumed in the United States amounted
to 100000 tons, an increase of Is per
cent. on the preceding year. This is the
largest consumption of sugar, in propor-
ton to the pu'ation, found in any ma
ton on the globe. A very small pro-
portion of the sugar consumed in the
United States is produced within its own
territory, while in Europe the produc-
tion of sugar is rapidly increasing, and
bids fair soon to render the princi pal ma
tions of that quarter independent of the
tropical regions in regard to the supply
of sugar. Since the year 1850, the pro-
duction of sugar from beets in France
has risen from 10000 tons to 100000; in
Austria, from 10000 to $4,000 tons and
Russia, where beet-culture was intro
duced since 1850, now produces 100000
tons of sugar. The increased consump-
ton of sugar may be taken as the evi.
dence of an advance toward higher
civilization. t,

Useful Invention.

The most complete and useful inven-
ton in use for supplying railroad e,,-
gines with water without stopping trains
at tanks, as is customary, is that in use
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and some
other roads leading from Pittsburg.
The following is description of the ar
rangement and its workings: In the
centre of the track is an iron trough,
one-fourth of a mile long, eighteen inch
es wide, and six inches deep. Near a
stream is the steam engine (same as
used in filling a tank, with force pumps,
and along the trough is a water pipe
with "inlet pipes" at distances of a few
yards, through which the trough is filed
with water, no tank being used. Also
along the trough is a steam pipe, for use
in freezing weather; and at distances oi
about three yards are inlet pipes through
which the steam is forced into the trough
of water and prevents freezing. A heavy
pressure of steam will soon make the
water "on boil" At short distances in
said steam pipe are Extension Joints,
so that if there is a heavy pressure oi
steam, the length of the pipe is increased
and the pipe is not bursted" by the
extra pressure. When locomotive draw.
ing train reaches the trough, the engi-
neer or assistant, by lever, lowers al
iron scoop into the trough, dipping foul
inches, the speed is slightly checked, and
the speed forces stream of water from
the trough up the scoop into the water
tanks of the tender. Before the end o.
the trough is reached the necessary sup
ply of water is on hand, the scoop i
raised to its proper place, and the trair
proceeds on time. This we consider on,
of the best and size splest inventions il
use, and is another evidence of Ameri
cans being a fast, very last, people, anC
that they knew how to 90 througl
without stopping on the way.

An Illinois Girl's Maneuvre.

The daughter of well-to-do Illinois
farmer yielded her affection to the suit
of a humble shoemaker, who appealed to
the old folks to give their sanction to the
match. They refused, of course. Last
summer the maiden began to pine away,
and by eating slate pencils and drinking
vinegar, made of herself most interest
ing invalid. The solicitude of her family
was aroused, and all whims of the sick
girl were readily complied with. She
seemed to have mania for new and ele-
CANT clothing of all kinds, and the old
gentleman spent goodly share of his
hoard in gratifying her wishes. In fact
she laid up for herself first-class ward
robe, and few days ago disappeared
from the paternal roof. A St. Louis JUS
tice of the peace united her to the Girls
pin of her choice, and there is mourning
at the farm house in the Prairie State.

General Lafayette's Watch.

1t is doubtless within the recollection"
of many that in the year 1924 General
Lafayette made tour of this country,
attended by such an ovation as offered,
perhaps, the grandest spectacle of ma
tion's tribute to hero the world has
ever seen. During his tour, while on o
visit to some town in the State of Ten
nessee, the General was mysteriously
robbed of his watch, q valued souvenir,
which had been presented to him lin
l7SD by General George Washington to
commemorate at once the affectionate
relations which had long existed between
them, and his gallant services at the
seige of Yorktown, the crowning event
in the struggle for American inde-
pendence. Directly upon the robbery
becoming known, most strenuous efforts
were made for its recovery, but, despite
the fact that the Governor of Tennessee
offered reward of one thousand dollars
for its return, not the slightest trace of
it was thereafter obtained, and General
Lafayette was eventually compelled to
return to France, resigned to the thought
that the precious gift of his dear friend
was lost to him forever.
The years passed on, and with their
lapse mems recollection of the circum-
stance faded away. Lafayette died in
1884, and lor space of ferty-eight years
the stolen watch bore an unknown his
tory. At the end of that time, but q
few days ago, a gentleman residing in
this city, while visiting Louisville, at
where, strange to relate. he found among
the articles offered watch which, upon
examination, he discovered to be the
long lost watch of Lafayette.
Suffice it to say that he eagerly pur-
chased it, and as quickly formed the
resolution to transmit it to the family of
General Lafayette, now residing in
Faris pending which transm1ssion, how
ever, the gentleman has brought it to
his home, and has consented to its ex-
hibition for few days at e. A. Tyler's
jewelry store, on Canal street.
The watch is open faced, of gold, with
double case, and may be remarked as
of peculiar appearance, being of only
ordinary size, but nearly as thick as it
is wide. The outer case bears upon its
entire surface carved figures, in 5as relief,
representing the picture of Mars offering G
Il crown to the goddess of Peace, who i:
surrounded by her emblems, while over
all appear the stern implements of war
hung high out of reach. On the inner
case appears the yet clearly legible in.

South American Coast.

Important announcements have been
made by Professor Agassiz, in reference
to the South American coast. Among
others, he thinks he has proved the ex-
istenoe of glaciers on the southern ex-
tremity of the continent, about Mon
tevideo, in Patagonia, and in Chill. He
has also proved the fact of recent up
heaval of the Patagonian coast by the
discovery of salt water pond many feet
above the highest tide, containing large
numbers of living marine mollusca, pre-
cisely identical in species with those OF
the waters below. On the other hand,
the fact of a very decided subsistence OF
the Andes in recent times has been
shown by comparison of observations
made of heights of different mountain
submits or passes, taken at intervals
within the last hundred years.
