for the journey. Men SO under with
great hammer to see if they are sound.
Their practical ears can tell by the
noise of the stroke whether the wheels
are cracked or not.
If every wheel is sound, the men
sometimes shout TO the conductor, "All
Right" so that the train can move on
another stage of the journey at the end
of which another examination is to take
place.
But it IS not always Gail Right y
Sometimes a crack is discovered in
wheel Or axle, and then it would not be
safe to keep the car in the train. 1t

must find seats elsewhere. We were
once, in company with many others,
turned out of beautiful car, with COM
Portable seats, and compelled to get into
another not near so pleasant, because

cracked. Had not this been discovered,
the wheel would very likely have bro

would have Cincinnati. Ada iron works,
foundries, machine shops, factories,
warehouses, steamboats, smoke, smut,
dirt, music, lager beer and Dutch beer
gardens-all in one grand heap. IL is a
great town for lager, and the Cincin-
natl lager has a frst-olass reputation
everywhere; you drink it even in De-
troit. They say the muddy water Of the
Ohio gives 1t its flavor. This is the most
tree and easy town ever saw. Every
body drinks lager and it seems to me
everybody goes to the Beer gardens
Americans, English: Scotch, GerInans,
men, women ana cHfiQren-all partake
OF the flowing lager aud listen to the re-
ally good music that the large bands in
the beer gardens sweetly disco urse.
There is one string band here comp osed
wholly Of women, and very good musl-
clans they are indeed, and it seemed
very queer to hear nigh-t6fed, classical
music OH Sunday evening, whilst the
hundreds of people assembled were
quietly quaffing lager. 1ale audience
were quiety ana behaved very nicely and
orderly. should judge there were
probably 100 women present--seemihgly
decent, respectable women and girls.
o, Cincinnati, thou most misnamed,
for instead Of being the Queen City, thou
sh0uldst have been called alter Gambri-
nus, for thou art b city OF beer drinkers.
Joined with that name thou sh6uldst
have had the name Of the goddess Of
