A Funny Incident.

Yesterday morning Chesterfield milk
man might have been seen trying to
drive his horse and wagon across the
free bridge, which was, in fact, as smooth
as glass from the sleet Every attempt
of the horse to stand up and at the same
time pull the wagon proving futile, he
at last hit upon an excellent plan. I'm
hitching his horse and tying him behind
the wagon, he himself took position
between the shafts, and in a short time
succeeded in drawing his wagon in safety
to the Richmond side.

More About Unsound Poultry and Game

One of the TIMES reporters yesterday
called upon several of the leading com
mission merchants of the city to ascertain,
if possible, to what cause is attributable
the fact that unsound poultry has been
offered for sale in our markets.
All of the parties conversed with upon
the matter said that the great and only
trouble is due to the retail dealers them
selves. Instead of disposing of the goods
as soon as possible after purchased, the
retailers endeavor to take advantage OF
what they consider favorable markets
and buy largely for future needs.
This specializing in these articles OF
food is the prolific cause of much dressed
poultry unfit for use being placed upon
the market.
This matter is one of great importance
and to which too much attention cannot
be paid Health and, in fact, life itself
may be involved in tits matter.

One thing in which the English rail-
ways surpass the American is the sta
tions. The Grand Central depot in New
York is as fine as any of the stations in
English cities, and Byrn Mawr on the
Pennsylvania line is as pretty as any
country station; hut these are exception
al in the United States. In England
nearly every village has a comfortable
and picturesque little station, with ample
shelter and tiled and graYeled platform;
1t is set in a garden which the station
master and his wife spend much loving
care upon: even the name of the place Is
often printed in flowers Between the
stations there are few untidy fences.
The line runs between steep embank-
ments, green from top to bottom, or be-
tween dense hedges of hawthorn or laurel,
which prevent trespassing. In entering
or passing through cities it is either
tunneled or carried above the surface
by Vladucts; it is never in the pub
lie streets, as in the United States. The
stations in cities and large towns are
magnificent buildings. provided with re-
treshment rooms, 'lett luggage" Offices,
inquiry offices, book stalls and lavatories.
A charge OF I'd. is made for the use of the
latter, including clean towels, soap, not
water, and the services Of an attendant
Passengers going long distances are pro-
Vided with luncheon baskets like those
used on the Washington limited express
Each basket contains a napkin, knife and
fork, plate, glass, condiments, portion OF
cold meat or poultry, bread and butter,
and bottle OF claret, ale or stout. The
basket and its furniture are delivered to
