In u Venetian Church.

1t was in this church that I became
fully conscious of the superior methous OF
the Catholic church in Europe, at least in
their ability to reach down and take in all
classes Of people. The churches of Italy
are open mt all hours and times. The
central portions of the churches are clear.
There are chairs ab,ut which can be used
upon special occasions or by delicate peo-
pie, but in this Venetian church the audi
ence stood rs the, !. would ut political out.
door meeting. There was an utter alb
sence of forniid requirement which was
most agreeable to witness. People came
in and went out as they pleased. Even
those who were listening To the sermon
felt under no compunctons to listen to
more than they cared to hear. They could
listen TO n portion and then move Oh.
People came in out of the street just as
they happened to be dressed in passing
EXquisitely dressed ladies' from the high
est class stood side by side with market
women who came in with their baskets.
Here was the first church service that /
had ever witnessed in my life where it was
evident that every one was made welcome,
and that in this splendid palace of religion
there was the most perfect democracy to
be found in its audience.-T, G. Crawford

o,erworked Locomo.iv. Engineers.

The greatest prccaution that railroad com
panies have taken Of late years to guard
against the possibility Of accidents has been
.he allowance to engineers Of eight hours
sloep and rest between each trip. Iany
time both my fireman and myself have una
wares, dropped asleep from fatigue and ex-
b.,ustiop, while our train was rushing along
the track with its precious cargo of human
freight But none OF those aboard the train
knew of the negligence save ourselves. Of
course we did not take these maps knowingly
or purposely, but would drop asleep uncon-
sciously, and not awake till the eng inc passed
a switch or rustic depot, causing an echoing
noise that served to bring Us To our senses.
This was particularly the case in the seas
ons of excursions, when an engineer, after
making one long trip, would go home, eat
his frugal meal and prepare to take "a much
needed rest, when suddenly a messenger
would arrive and summon him to report at
once for another long trip. The order was
imperative, for il the engineer refused he
would forfeit his position. Many accidents
have occurred in this way which We're at
tributed to other sources One night l ran
two miles past an important station before
awakening, and when the conductor asked
me the reason, replied that the air brake
refused to work because the rubber hose had
burst. Then had to take a hatchet and ale
aud ruin section OF hose to verify my re-
port, which was made in writing to the oil

A middle nsed German accosts Us, smil-

He laughs and we laugh; there Is gen.

with eyebrows raised with surprise.

"Vc smoke not tobacco here" says the
guide.
"But use It,"

Objections are useless; the cigar Is
thrown away. The guide places his foot
on it in triumph. For Inany years no to-
bacco has been used in Economy, except
by stealth. An edict was issued against
it because the practice was deemed an
evil one and these sturdy Germans must

time, with no greater or less expendi-
,urc of labor and capital than heretofore,
all the existing machinery in all the cot
ton mills of the worlt., representing an IN
yestnent OF millions upon millions of dol
lars would be worth ..ttie more than so
much old iron, steel aud copper; and the
man who should endeavor to resist that
change would, in face OF the fierce com
petition of the world, soon find himself
bankrupt and without capital.
In short, all material progress is effected
by II displacement Of capital equally with
that of labor; and nothing marks the rate
Of such progress more clearly than the
rapllity with which such displacement
occur. There is, however, this differenc,
between the two factors involved. Labor
displaced, as n condition of progress, vii
be eventually absorbed In other occupi
tions; but capital displaced, in the sens
OF substituting the new for what is old, il
practically destroyed.-Hon. David A.
