VIII set the fashion for his patrons He has been
sporting of late the kuieh--if that be the way to
spell it-which is nothing than yard or
two of porous stuff, silk or cotton
or linen, wound about his hat and
hanging the back of the neck. The East is
the parent of it, but it is common, if l remember
in the West also meaning by the West, New-Ycrk.
BY way of improving matters, we are threatened
with water famine. as Paris is. The mere threat
serves the turn of the contractors for sprinkling
the streets, and seems TO them a sufficient excuse
for retiring to private life. They did not wait
for the excuse. Never have the streets been so
scantily sprinkled as during this heated term. On
Sundays they are not Ssprnkled at all; nor
have they been within my recollection. 1
suppose it is thought wrong, and l hope the
Sabbataran finds Sunday dust agree with his lungs.
Oh late the water-cart men have joined the Satur-
day afternoon movement, and from noon of Satur-
day TILL some variable hour Monday the streets of
this metropolis left unwatered. The heather in
Paris and other cities of the Continent. with their
accustomed want of religious feeling, insist upon
cleanliness even on days set apart for goodness.

Pay Of Railroad Men Thirty Years
Ago.

A New Hampshire paper gives in
recent issue summary of the con.
tents of the annual report of the Con-
cord railroad for 1851. The report
filled eighty-One pages, and contained
list of all the tools owned by the
road, of all the furniture in stations
on its line, and every other article,
however small, that went TO make its
assets; and, besides these, a complete
roll Of all the employees of the road,
from the superintendent down to the
woodsawyers, with the wages paid to
each. Isaac Spalding was president,
with salary of $1,000; the Hon. n.
G. Upham was superintendent, and
got for his services So 900 a year; the
chief clerk got $500 and the assistant
$340. the latter being Henry McFar-
land, now treasurer of the Union
Pacific, with a salary of $1,000; Geo.
ClOugh was a passenger conductor
and got $50 a month, which was the
pay of the station agent at Nashua;
engineers on passenger trains had
1925 per day, and those on freight
trains 50; brakemen and iiremen
81 .25. and wOodsawyers and section
men 81; the ticket agents at Concord
and Manchester had $500 year, and
Ex-Governor James A. Weston, who
was the road engineer, 1000; the
wOOd-shop at Concord was in charge
of the Hon. John Kimball, who had
$3.19% per day, and one of his work
men was his brother, Benjamin A.,
who got but So per week. These
last mentioned are now two of the
wealthiest men in Concord, and one
is a director of the road. At that
time the road did but a third as much
business as now, but it paid 10 per
cent. dividends.

MILLS OF THE WORLD.
The El0Mr.M0kersOr GREAT Britain,
and America.

The London Times, in an editorial
article comparing the milling meth.
DDS of Great Britain with those of
the United States, has the following
to say:
The most significant feature is the
stride made by the Americans toward
eclipsing all Europe, if it be possible,
in the quality Of their flour, and in
the economy and perfection of their
grinding. Even in Minneapolis and
st. Louis tho system of milling deem.
ed quite satisfactory no longer than
two years ago, is at the present mo-
ment being remodeled in order to Oh.
tain greater mechanical efficiency in
the treatment of varied qualities of
grain. and to secure in the products
q higher percentage Of the finest and
whitest flour. Hence the anxiety
of the British and Irish millers asso.
citation that their members shall not
fall behind in the race. Indeed, the
need here for examination and prov.
ing Of new systems and better pro.
cesses Is greater than in the United
States, because the problems to be
solved here are more intricate and
troublesome. While the winter
wheats, which are chiefly worked in
the mills of st. Louis, and the hard
spring wheats of Minnesota which
feed the vast establishments of Min.
neapolis, are fairly uniform in char.
acter, the wheats from all lands and
climes with which our millers have
to deal embrace an infinite variety
of samples-hard, medium, soft, lean
or full berried, thick or thin skinned,
clean, or foul with cookie, smut, and
every interloping body detested by
the trade. This necessitates diver
sity in modes Of grinding and after.
treatment, seeing that process proved
the best for one class of wheat
may fail to yield similar results out
of wheats of another class, and the
wheats of our own harvesting and of
the same soil may require handling
in diverse manners in different sea.

the hottest portions of the day us il
is ut night. Farm labOrers generally
sleep after they have eaten the noon
meal. To make up for the time lost,
they commence work earlier in the
morning, and continue later ut night
Even i'm those countries Europe where
the climate is nearly similar to ours,
and where the mass of the people are
in poorer condition, less labor is per.
formed during those portions of the
day when the heat is the greatest.
The desire for gain is less, or the
people are possessed of a greater de-
gree Of prudence. AS u consequence
of avoidance of the rays of the sun
when they fall nearly directly on the
head, there are very few cases of
stnstrOke and other injuries pro-
duced from the same cause. If men
work less hours during the day, they
are able to work more years during Il
life, and the like is true of all ami.
mails that are trained to labor. Gus
tom has much TO do in the matter,
and the custom set in this country is
productive of very injurious results.

COHfracf for the FIRST shipment
Of Grain to Europe from
this Point.
ST. Paul Globe.

st. Paul Globe.
Upon the announcement of the
organization of the st. Louis, st. PAU
q Mississippi, river transportation
company, to succeed the Keokuk
Northern line company KILLED by too
much law, the Globe, stated that
Capt. John II. Reany, agent of the
new line in this city, was prepared To
make through bills of landing via the
Mississippi river barge line and
ocean steamers, from st. Paul to
London, Liverpool or Glasgow, Great
Britain, for flour ard wheat in bulk.
A week ago Capt. Reany made Il
similar statement in the st. Paul
chamber of commerce., giving figures
showing the saving to the Minnesota
producer and manufacturer offered
by this mode of transportation.
In the interview the GiObe con-
tanned several mentions of the intcn.
ded new departure, and yesterday
morning we gave an associated press
telegram from st. Louis announcing
that Il contract had been closed there,
the day previous, for shipment of
30, 900 bushels of spring wheat from
st. Paul to Glasgow, Scotland, on the
barge line to New Orleans. and thence
by steamer to it's destination, the
barges to receive the grain to leave
st. LOUIS for st. Panl yesterday.
Upon inquiries yesterday Giobe
reporter learned that the contract
for this shipment had been made
with j. @. Adams, representing the
house of David Doves Il Co., New
York, in this city. Through the
representations of Capt. Reany, Mr.
Adams opened correspondence with
Il New York branch house of Il Glas-
Cow firm, with reference to such a
shipment, but this firm poured cold
water on the experiment. Mr..
Adams then cOrrespOnded direct
with the Glasgow firm, who were so
well satisfied with the representation
made rs to order the shipment, and
hence the contract.
From Capt. Reany we learn that
the barges upon which the shipment
is to be made from here belong to the
Jay Gould line. If they left st.
Louis yesterday. as stated in the tele.
gram, they should be here Friday
evening next. 1t is understood Mr..
Adams has the wheat in elevator
here, which by system of spouting
provided last year, will be loaded di.
rectly into the barges, with the same
facility as ears are loaded. We also
understand from Capt. Reany that
the 80, 900 bushels of wheat contract.
ell for, does not exhaust the capacity
of the two barges, so that he is pre-
pared to give very low rates to millers
for certain amount of flour, up to
the capacity of the barges.
TO certain extent this is an eX-
detrimental trip, the shipment of
spring wheat in bulk for ST. long Il
distance by barge not having been
tried before. The claim that it would
necessarily heat in such Il shipment,
has been pretty well exploded by the
success of the barge shipments from
st. Louis,
