The Routine Work That L. Done In q
railroad Roundhouse.
A locomotive roundhouse, with its
grim, steel armored giants resting from
their labor, is an object Of irresistible at.
traction 10 Sunday strollers along the
river front near the Union station. II a
visitor happens to be accompanied by an
inquisitive small boy, he will find that
there are many things about a round,
house which are not comprehended in a
youths definition in school the other
day, "a place where they keep engines"
Instead Of being dreary as a car.
riage house, it is as lively as a
race horse stable. 1t Is s O'Clock in the
evening, and that the New York express
has just departed OIL its way 10 Boston.
Soon the big express locomotive No. 1879
will slowly back down the yard, and
switch oil down a side alley, as II were,
toward the great roundhouse. R~umhling
slowly down the grade, IL win stop Mt a
gigantic coal heap, where a half dozen
dusky figures are ready with shoyels,
and at once they begin TO send the coal
in showers into the tender. Meanwhile
tho fireman and engineer have climbed
down from the cab. their days work
done, and have started homeward. In
their place has climbed a short, burly
man, whose professional name is 'hos-
tier" and the big machine ia in his
charge from this time till the next morn.

been increased 10 several tons by the
efforts Of the shovelers, the 'hostler"
slowly runs his charge TO the turntable,
and the steed Is prepared TO go TO bed for
the night.
"Waiting on tho table, Is not the most
inviting occupation, 10 be judged by the
back straining and '1eg achy" process Of
turning a thirty ton locomotive half
round, and tho ''waiters," instead Of
having dapper white aprons and clean
napkins, are equipped with oily ~overalls,
greasy caps and big boots. Indeed, they
are the same set who wero seen viciously
shoveling az the coal pile a moment ago,
and have followed the engine into the

bear the name of "wipers" and the occu-
patton from which the term Is derived

On the 10th the house considered the
army appropriation bill and an amend.

pristing 100000 to begin the construc-
ton of q military post near Chicago;
also one appropriating $4,000 to pur

amendment was offered appropriating
$3.50 for increasing the plant at
Watervliet arsenal, n. ", and $780,
600 for the manufacture of cannon,
projectiles and torpedo experiments.
Mr.. Randall made q point of order
against the amendment. He said the
advance of science had been 80 great

come a law the money would have
been absolutely wasted. He had

ready to furnish them. Letters were
read from the secretary of wal and the
chief of ordnance, approving the
amendment, but it vas ruled out on
the point of order and the bill was
passed. The house then, at $3.50, ad-

heterogeneous in the world so far as its
ethnology is concerned. From the infor-

1885, the racial composition was as fol-
lows: Russians, 1863, LOSE; Poles, 1879;
Bulgarians, 400; Tcheks, IL; Lithua-
mans, $500: Let's, 3,424; Greeks, 1876;

ONE NOTCH BETTER.-As a train was
ready to leave the Central Depot the other
day, a drummer, who occupied two seats,
or had prepared to, left the car to say
goodbye to some one. When he returned
he found his luggage in the wood-box
and a strange man in possession of the
seats.
"What does this Ter mean?" he de-
manded as he drew himself up and took
in the situation.
Drummer, amt you"" queried the
other.

folded his Newspaper, while the drummer
gathered up his things and went into an
