Conductors Must be Kept Busy.

Under the head of the evolution OF
conductors, the Hartford CoaIrant begs
for the good old methods of railroad
ing when the passenger was suffered to
repose quietly after having displayed
his ticket once. The check given in
exchange, on the diverse of which was
the conductors name, on the reverse a
table of distances, was pleasantly and
easily disposed of in the hat band or
the back of the seat in front. s At the
end of the trip the conductor gathered
in these instructive slips, and the pas
senger, waking from his long nap,
alighted content with himself and all
the rest of the world. Now he buys
his ticket, tri1ing and sometimes al
most invisible card, and taking great
care not to lose it in the depths of his
ticket pocket, settles down to silence
and sleep. The conductor rudely dis
turbs his dreams before the first flag
station is reached, and punching the
pasteboards hurriedly with die repre-
senting an old hat or shoe. q crescent
or heart, he passes on, half willing,
half 10th, to take the ticket with him,
but finally deciding to leave it. The
passenger settles himself again, but at
the next station, dozen miles away.
though he tries to keep the cardboard
in sight, he is again reused up that the
conductor may decorate the ticket with
another old hat or crescent. Thus, If
a traveller travels say seventy-fve
miles upon an accommodation train,
he is liable to dozen or more of these
Interruptions, introduced apparently
for the sole purpose of keeping the con-
ductor busy. ~

Siberian Marriages.

Among the exiles in the Island of
Saghalien, Eastern Siberia, the follow
ing custom prevails: If man wishes
to get married, he applies to the Gov
ernor, who forthwith selects one of the
female prisoners whom the candidate
for holy matrimony is expected to
keep company for two or three days.
If at the conclusion of this term the
male party declares to the Governor
that the lady selected is not to his mind,
he receives twenty-five blows with q
stick, and another bride is chosen for
him-and so on. The same course is
adopted with the female prisoners who
are In search of husbands. These
matches are termed 'official mar
riages, "or the Governors marriages.
and are not followed by any religious
ceremony. -Irkutsh Sibir.
