After the car had become compare
lively empty the reporter made his way
to the rear platform and engaged the old
conductor in conversation. He said:
Before man can become a successful
candidate for a street CAT conductors po-
sition he must pass rigid examination
as to his knowledge Of the streets across
which his car is to pass. A man must be
able to tell street by the appearance Of
its corners as it often happens that many
streets don't have their names on the
lamp posts. The principal duty of new
conductor is to keep his car on time
neither too fast nor too slow. It is also
necessary to observe the city ordinance
which requires cars to stop on the fur
Their crossing and thus leave the thor
oughfare open. A new man sometimes
has to be trained for q week before he
becomes proficient. Men who show
themselves to be intelligent learn In q
few days. OF course new conductors re-
ceive no compensation while learning.
One of the most difficult things for q
new man to acquire is to make his ac-
counts come out straight = They are
often short and but seldom over. New
men are apt to use the indicator too
freely, and their accounts are sometimes
q or 50 short. They are of course obliged
to make up their deficiency"
aAre conductors obliged under all cir
cumstances to turn in an equivalent In
money for the number Of fares regis

NO Occasionally instances viii occur
in which a conductor will ring up the

"Sit and Sci. -

Many of the agricultural journals
are sorely troubled to know whether
ben sits or sets. IF some editor OF
dignity would set ben on the nest.
and the editors would let Der sit, it
would be well for the world. Now
a man, or woman either, can set a.
hen, although they cannot sit hers
neither can they sit on her.. although,
the old hen might sit on them by the
hour if they would allow. A man
cannot sit on the wash bench but
be could set the basin on it, aud Meth.
er the basin nor the grammariana
would object. He could sit on 81
dogs tail if the dog were willing, or
be might set bis foot on it. But if be.
should set on the aforesaid tail, or sit
his foot there, the grammarians. as
well as the dog would howl. And
yet, strange as it may seem, the man
might set the tail aside.and then sit
down. and neither be assailed by. the
dog or the grammarians.

Tuesday morning, when the Wheeler

the worst fire traps in the city. The
