Working for Knowledge.

James Il. Elaine, Jr., son of the Secre-
tary Of State. is determined to become q
practical railroad man, and is not afraid
to do amy sort OF work necessary to ac-
quire actual knowledge of the business.
Some time ago, he entered the Maine
Central Railroads machine shops at
Wateryille, under the immediate nstruc-
tion Of the most skilled mechanics in the
employ of the great corporation After
mastering the business in its every detail,
the young man has now made new de-
parture by entering the cab of "a locomo-
tive and commencing to fire He has
been given q position on the fast express
train between Bangor and Bar Har-
Dor
The mercury was away up among the
nineties when young Blaine made his
first appearance on the engine. He was
dressed in the ordinary coarse blue drill
ed overais and jumper of railroad fire
man. His face had been changed by
black coal dust and perspiration until
his countenance was hardly recognizable
His hands were black and blistered but
he was sticking manfully to his task, and
every one around the depot was crowd
ing to the forward end of the train to get
a glimpse of him.
This reminds us of the early career of
young Mr.. Gilbert Jones, one of the
proprietors of the New York Times. In
order to become practically acquainted
with the construction and operation of
machinery, he enlisted several years ago
as workman in the Novelty Iron Works
of this city. AT six o'clock every morn
ing he donned his overalls and left home
carrying his dinner pail, trudged down
to the East River, and performed his full
days work among the other men. He
was active, quick to learn, and was
promoted to be boss of gang employed
to put on board and connect the machin-
cry of steamships. The knowledge thus
gained has always been of the greatest
service&o Mr. Jones. The mechanical
department of the Times has for several
years been under his personal supervi-
sion. 1t embraces many costly and COM
plicated printing machines, but by his
intelligent direction all are made to run
as smooth as clockwork -Scie2atifcAn9e2-
