GERMANY is agitated by the question

piers work for $40 month"; sum at
which men refuse to engage themselves /;
and they are required to work not only
more hours day Than the men, but to
take the place of those employees who
are away for vacations. Ladies of edu-
cation who are employed in the street.
railway companies are rennunerated at
the muni6cent rate of SLIPS month,
and only after long years may aspire to
the maximum of $2250. No recog-
nized vacation is accorded them, as in
every instance if one is absent another
has to make up the deficiency. In
spite of these and other equally depress-
ing facts, women are making increasing
efforts to learn trades and business.

"Dont the freight conductors have

Don't the freight conductors have
more trouble with tramps than passenger
men?" inquired the reporter.
"Not much. You see when they
catch tramp on freight train they
make him work, and that is something
q tramp dislikes very much"
The Star & Crescent route between
here and Houston, Tex. is the boss road
for tramps, and Lake Charles, Orange
and Beaumont are their favorite haunts.
It very often happens that train runs
in Houston with the tops of the coaches
ornamented with beautiful strings of
tramps, who make themselves perfectly
at home until they are discovered by
trainmen, who disturb them to a great
extent by chuczing them off with Jumps
of coal.
The only thug that worries a tramp
is daylight run, for the reason that his
hiding place is too easily discovered by
brakemen, but under the cover of dark
less he rides on the truck beams and
car-tops, and smiles in wild derision at
all the world. The railroad men say
that every tramp in the United States
will come here this winter, and that
conductors and brakemen will have a
splendid chance to exercise their mus
Gle throwing them off trains.

An Influx of Tramps.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The conductors on the passenger
trains running into this city are com
planning of the vast number of tramps
who are swarming into this city in or
der to avoid the rigid winter CT the
North and to pick up whatever thew can
lay their hands on 'sDo YOU know %
said Conductor johnson, of the J.. &
n, shat the mail car has no doors at
either end, and in consequence a con-
ductor cannot see if there is any one on
the platform between the tender and
Car until the train comes to a stop. The
other night when we pulled up at a sta
ton [ walked up toward the engine and
discovered the forward platform of the
mail car literally packed with tramps,
and they were laying two deep. like
sardines in box. They take all sorts
of chances, and it is a great source of
annoyance to conductor to keep put
ting them off the train, for the reason
that as soon as you get rid of one Won
will return and find two or three in his
place."

Fuel on Russian Railways.
IFrom the Loadon Times. |

From the Loadon TimesI
An official report upon the fuel used
on Russian railways has been prepared
by Gen. Possiet, the minister of ways
and communications. It appears from
this report, which is concerned with the
year 1881, that of the forty railway
companies existing in the empire, only
four were using wood exclusively for
their locomotives. The lines were all
short ones, running through forest
tracts abundantly supplied with wood
and far away from coal supplies. The,
bulk of the lines used coal, and during
the year the aggregate consumption Of
all the railways was 563029 cubic
Russian fathoms of wood and upward Of
l, 100000 tons of coal. The quantity
of English coal used was only $50, 450
tons, most of which was burned on the
Baltic and on the southwestern lines.
The report notices q general tendency
toward larger consumption of Russian
and diminished one of foreign coal.
The increase IN the use of Russian coal
is given at 10000 tons, or per cent.
within the year. Only 10000 tons OF
German coal were burned, and these,
were used on lines near the German
border. Since the report was drawn up
there has been considerable enlarge
ment In the supply to the railways of
the Donetz and Moscow coal, and the
use of petroleum as an engine fuel has.
become almost general on the lines,
near the Caucasus. The Russian i'm
port duties on foreign coal were in
creased not long ago.

Returned for His Kit.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph,

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
In April, 1855, A. W. Tucker, then of
Middletown, N. Y, came home from
the war, through which he had served
in the 124th Regiment. He left his
knapsack, haversack and canteen at the
house of friend and went to the oil
regions. His friend hung the soldiers
kit on peg in his garnet. Tucker did
not return, and the articles were for
gotten. One day last week Tucker
alighted from a train in Middletown,
went directly to the house of his old
friend, and inquired for his accoutre-
ments. They we're found hanging in
the garrett. A package of ground COT
fee and one of brown sugar were in the
haversack, as they had been dealt out
for rations on the field. The canteen
contained small quantity of whisky.
It was thick and muddy, but had the
aroma of the cold stuff" A soldiers
portfolio and writing paper and enve-
lopes with the patriotic embellishments
in vogue during the years of the war,
pens and inkbottle, were in the KNAPP
sack. When Tucker gazed upon these
long-forgotten companions of his years
of hardship and dangers on the battle
field he burst into tears. and kissed them
over and over again. He had them ten
derby packed, juat as he received them,
which was just as they had come from
the field, and took them to his home in
the oil regions.

IT is stated that the Jews in Italy and
France have scarcely been affected by
the cholera. The Jewish journals at
tribute this comparative immunity to an
observance of the dietary and hygienic
laws of Judaism. An authority on this
subject says that this claim is question
ably justified by fact and experience,
and adds that it is not little singular
that Christianity, in adopting from
Judaism its high spiritual conception,
should have made 50 little of the won
derful body of hygienic science which
the Mosaic law contains.
