huge improvement on the street car.
This is the recognition of the fact that
people who pay for ride have n title to
a seat also. When the seats of stage
are all occupied 1t takes up no more pas

A Now Car Conductors Experience.


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 q man can become q successful
candidate for street car conductors po-
Sition no must pass a rigid examination
As 70 his knowledge OF the streets across
which his car is TO pass. A man must be
able 20 tell q 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. II Is also
necessary 70 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 70 be trained for a week before he
themselves TO DO intelligent learn In a
few days. OF course new conductors re-
ceive no compensation while learning
One Of the most difficult things for a
new man TO acquire Is % make his &C
counts como out straight. They are
often short and but seldom over. New
men are apt 20 use the indicator too
freely, and their accounts are sometimes
81 or so short. They are Of course obliged
70 make up their deficiency"
"Are conductors obliged under all cir
cumstances 20 turn in an equivalent in
money for the number Of fares regis
teredi" the reporter asked
NO. Occasionally instances Will occur
In which a conductor will ring up the
fares Of passengers who find themselves
IN the wrong car and are compelled %
get out without paying In case this
does not occur too often the company Will
allow a reduction Of the fare so rung I'D.
The days when car conductor lived in
a brown stone house and at the ratio Of
$4,000 year, are passed. Honest men
can live on the salary paid, and the com
psny has no use for dishonest men, said
the conductor in conclusion. o. Brooklyn

Fun at Home.

Do not he afraid Of a little fun at
home. good people. Do not shut up
your house. lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and your hearts, lest
a laugh should shake down a few
of the musty old cobwebs that are
hanging there. Young people must
have fun and relaxation somewhere;
if they do not find it at their own
heartllstones they will seek it at
other and less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at light in winter, and let the doors
and windows be cheerfully thrown
open in summer, and make the
homestead delightful with all those
little arts parents so we'll under
