The Pacific Railway Snow Sheds.
These wonderful wooden tunnels COW
er forty miles of the Central Pacific
railway. They were first suggested by
its practical Vice President, Charles
Crocker, but his companions hesitated
through fear of their impracticabilty
and ex xpense. They are of two kinds,
one with very steep roofs, and the other
with flat roofs. Thrv cost per mile from
$1,000 TO $4,000. and in some places,
where heavy masonry was needed. the
cost reached $4,000 a mile. They are
firmly constructed to support the great
weight Of snow and resist the rush of
avalsnches. Fire precautions are very
thorough. COrrugated-Plateso of iron sep
arate the buildings into sections, and in
the great teu-nile shed there are auto
matte electric fire alarms. At the sum-
NIT is an engine and. tank always ready
to food the ignited spot in an instant.
These sheds shut in the view of the
great Sierras, but without them winter
travel would be impossible Sometimes
five feet of snow falls upon them in a
day, and often thirty feet lie on the
ground at one time, and in many places |
snow accumulates to the depth of fifty |
feet above these great wooden arches.-l

AbStemiOus Men.

The most successful thinkers arr

and drinking; yet this is not dgay.
true, as in the cases of Dickens anC

before their time. Careful living would
without doubt, have enabled them to
extend their lives many years, and te
give much riper productions to the
world.
Sir Isaac Newton was close studsrt

years OF age. He used to say that he
could not think clearly until five hours
had elapsed after meal. The most en-

Ii is said that when Henry Ward
Beecher expects TO make an unusual ef-
fort in public he postpones meal. IL it
comes near the hour of bis lecture, and
waits until he is rested afterward be-

prospect of being a hale old man. We
might mention. Ralph Waldo Emerson

wisest men Of their Ntime, and whose

School Hours in England, Germany
and France.

The Journal Of Education, basing its
estimates upon the number of hours
given to various studies in eighteen lead
ing public schools, calculates that tie
average number Of hours a week in an
English public school is about twenty
six, as against thirty-one in gymna-
isum and forty in a lycee. Reckoning
the hours of preparation, and taking
into account the holidays, which are at
least twice as long in England as they
are on the Continent. it finds that the
working hours of an English, German
and French boy in secondary schools are
in the ratio of five, eight and eleven. As
to the subjects taught, though there are
now few public schools in which science
teaching is wholly ignored, classics still
form the staple of our education. An
English lower school boy gives fourteen
hours week, or more than half his
time. to classics; French lyceen de-
votes twenty eight hours week, for his
first three years. to his native tongue :;
he does not begin Latin till the second
period, or Greek till the third-that is
till he has been six years at school.

A String of Autumn BrilIiants

Firel firel upon the maple bough
The red flames Of the fros;l
Firel firel by burning woodbine, see,
The cottage roof is crossedl
The hills are hid by smoky hazel
Look, how the roadside sumachs blaze
And on the withered leaves below
The fallen leaves like bonlires glowi
Marion Douglas.
o happy day, returned once more.
With golden plenty still repletel
As though she never gave before,
Earth pouTs her treasure at her feet.
More rich than Autumn's robe Of leaves
Should be the garments of our praise !;
And ampler than her ample sheaves
The charities that crown our days.
Harriet n. KImball.
Ere in the northern gale
The summer tresses of the trees are
gone,
The words of autumn all around our
vale
Have put their glory on.
o Autunni why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forests
glad
Thy gentle wind and thy fair, sunny
noon,
And leave thee wild and sad?
William Cullen Bryant.
The hills are bright with naples yet,
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic in the wind,
As dry and brown as sand,
The clouds in bars Of rusty red
Along the hilltOps glow,
And in the still. sharp air the frost
Is like dream of snow.

The Honorable Profession of IS Askers. .

It is probable that few people are
aware how definite and lucrative pro-
fession is that of the regular beggar. In
many cases it is a hereditary calling,
like that of Homerids, or epic singers Of
Chios, or the Aslepiads, or healers of
Cos. An acquaintance of the writer's
happened the other night to Light upon
member of the profession who was re.
feshing himself in public house. He
was stout middl e-aged man, apparent
" in good case. 81 never did days
work in my life, " said the man, in the
course of conversation, s. neither did my
father before me, nor his father before
him and I shall take good care That mr.
children sha,nt do it. ''
asker is, it seems, the pleasing
euphemism by which this band of the
leisured class is accustomed to designate
itself in private life. A lady of our ac-
quaintance asked brisk young parlor
maid, who had given her notice as being
about to be married, What is the em-
ployment of your husband that is to
be-? stHe is an asker, ma'am," was
the reply. s. But what is an asker p"
Further questions we're rather put aside,
but it turned out that by an asker :"
was meant q professional beggar. The
young lady had a strong belief, which
was probably justified by the result,
that an ssasker would be able to sup
port her in comfort. Pail Mall Ga

WASHINGTON CITY n
Some Of the Peculiarities OF the Amer.
lean Capital.
From Harper's Magazine

ls
from Harper's Magazine.]
It has not grown as other American
cities grow its progress has been tardy.
This yeanling Of towns, so carefully
fostered on the banks of the Potomac,
has not availed itself to any great ex-
tent of that popular method Of i'm
provement SO successfully adopted by
Chicago and Boston ~ the method Of
burning and its increase has been
more a reflection Of the extending mag
nltude OF other centers than spontane-
GUS movement. More and more the
custom has grown among the rich or en-
ergetic and inquiring inhabitants of
other places of going to the capital to
see what it is like many Of them have
been SO fascinated that they have
stayed; and now Washington nav be
fairly called the winter end of New
York, as Newport is the summer extern
sion of the metropolis. Add to the ex-
otto population the enlarged ranks If
public officials and clerks, the growing
circle OF scientific and literary people,
who from choice or Government CON
nection have been led to make their
homes there, together with the needful
contingent of small traders who supply
the daily wants of these elements, and
you have a general classification Of the
100000 heads counted by the new CEN
sus. A city without commerce and
without suburbs mile or two in
any direction and you find yourself in
the midst of woods set but sparsely with
houses or cabins, and with only the
great pillared dome, like shining cloud
in the air, to remind you of the human
mass SO Washington, neverthe-
less, wears distinctly the appearance Of
a capital which has risen to the emere-
ency.
1t has this special charm to commend
it above other places, that while Boston
and San Francisco and Cincinnati and
New York, despite their numerous
points of other than Commercial in.
terest, are work-a-day towns, the
''malden capital" shows gayer dis
position, and devotes itself largely to So
clal pleasures. To the outsider the diff
ference is that between friendship and
Irritation: You like, you may love,
the particular big local capital where
you live and do business, but you ap-
proach Washington with sense Of its
oemg something piquant and novel,
with which you may trife and entangle
yourself in make believe attachment
having all the stimulus and none of the
drawbacks of steady devotion. Besides,
It is a city provided with t'sights.''
There are Congress and the Capitol:
there are Mount Vernon and Kalorama.

umbiad," in profound conviction of his
errand as the American epic poet; and
