VALUE OF IN AMERICAN f6AEEROfD
TEAM.
4 railroad official recently gave some
interesting figures as 10 the value of the
midday express from New York, which
was fair representative Of the fast ex-
press trains On the leading American
railroads
There were an engine, tender and
eight cars. The engine and tender,
which are considered together, were
valued at $l0,500; the baggage car,
81, 900; the postal car, So, 1000; TIE smok-
ing car, IS, 900; the two ordinary passen-
ger cars $40, 900 each, and three palace
cars $15. coo each; total, $83, Coo
This is low, rather than an excessive.
estimate for one of the fast expresses, as
some Of them, with more cars, are worth
$100, 900 at least.
The palace cars put down at SIS 900
are. in many cases, worth an average of
$18, 900. These cars came into use soon
after the sleeping coaches, the first be-
ing used in 1853. In some instances
these cars have cost as high as $25, 900
and $4,000, where the interior work.
manship was very elaborate.
From the figures given it Will be seen
that comfortable dwelling NAV be
built for the cost of an ordinary passeD-
ger car, and that the money expended
for palace coach would erect very
handsome brick or brownstone front
residence.
It is an interesting reflection that the
safety of one of these costly trains, to
say nothing of the passengers, devolves
almost wholly upon one mantle en-
gineer.
There are other men-the conductor.
baggagemaster, fireman and three or
four brakemen, but the hand upon the
lever and the brain directing it have an
immense responsibility.

position that Tiny Tim did in his family.
I should have let him go, only that I
feared that if L did so I should also re-
lease the third fly, whom my soul
loathed. Now, let me tell you why that
fly was Objectionable. He was the only
fly left on the window-panes, and he
walked over them with the arrogance of
landlord. I sought 10 catch him, but
each attempt was more futile than the
last. He lodged. he flew away from
the window, he calmly foated about the
room, and followed him, Tapping with
my pocket handkerchief till I visibly
perspired. He was as cunning as the
fox of Ballybogue, who, you remember,

After q hunt, which brought out all
my worss characteristics, I caught him
and deposited him in my vivarium, re-
joicing to myself that his death-agonies
would be some compensation for nv
pains. AS soon as he got into the jar,
Mr. Fly discovered that his poor little
brother IN adversely had raw place
where his wing had been torn of, and
he would follow him from place to place
to put lis ssacker on TO the sore. Il was
not the kindness OF the dogs OF Lazarus

IN oED-EAsHIoSEp RECKONING.

a case was tried in louisville, in
which understandable witness was
introduced. The suit was one brought
by an old German, who keeps q grocery
and bar-room, against a rather tough
citizen who owed him a bar bill. When
the old man was placed on the stand. he
stated his case IN broken English, but
III straightforward, truthful manner.
and said that the defendant had been q
customer at his bar and received credit.
but refused to pay his bill when the
time arrived. He was then asked by
the court if he had kept regular &C.
count OF the amount. and was requested
to show his bill. This seemed to puz-
zie the old man some, and, after scratch
ing his head in silent deliberation for a
lew minutes, he said he had kept an
account, but had left it at his store. and
asked permission to go off and bring it.
Ihe permission was granted, and he
started away on trot. and in a short
while came back. putting and blowing,
but wearing a satisfied look ON his face
and carrying q large pine door on his
shoulder. All in the room were consid-
erably astonished at this, but he quietly
seated himself, and, taking the door
across his knees, he pointed TO num-
Der of charcoal marks on it, which he
stated was his bill. When asked to ex-
plain he said that whenever the defend
ant got drink he marked it down on
the door. If the drink was beer he
made short mark, and if whisky long
one. He then counted up the marks,
and they agreed with the bill he had
presented. This evidence was clinch-
er, and the old German won his case
amid the smiles of the spectators.

STORIES WITHOUT MORALS.

There could be no question but that
John could make better shoe than
James. A shoe made by John would
outlast two made by James but James
had happy way of knocking leather
together which produced work fair to
look upon. A customer buying pair
OF Johns shoes came not again for
year or more, because of the durability
OF the shoes but he who purchased
pair made by James came again quickly.
The employer of the two men perceiv-
ing this sent John about his business
and rewarded James with increased
wages. John had a genius for making
shoes, but James possessed tact. This
was the difference between the two men.

Charles spent ali his time reading, so
