STRIKING CONTRAST.

An Ex-Brakeman Tells How Railroad
Presidents Travelled Years Ago.
There is a striking contrast in the
mode in which railroad officials travel
nowadays from the modest way in
which their predecessors went over
their lines thirty or forty years ago.
Now the president and many of the
other officials of every railroad in the
country have their private palace cars,
and they never go out, even for short
trips, without them. Thirty years ago
| was employed as brakeman on a
passenger train on the Pennsylvania
railroad. AS the train was filing up
at the Philadelphia depot one morning,
was directing the passengers to their
respective coaches, when tall man.
wearing white hat, whom I did not
know, stepped up to the train to so
aboard. | directed him to the car and
he quietly took his seat. There was
one coach little more finely finished
than the others that was used
as the ladies' car, but did not put the

you put him in the ladies' Carp the
conductor asked. Because he had no
ladies with him." I answered. The
conductor went into the car, bowed
politely to Mr., Thompson, and made
an apology for not seating him in the
ladies' car. mo apology is necessary,

Il made the rules myself, and expect
you to follow them" And Mr.. Thomp-

spve great mind to interview him, y
Frank replied quick to catch and respond
to the spirit Of mischief in his friends
voice. Vie looks 10 me as II he might be q
little no,. compos; but he might also tell us i
story II we set him going come ON
Hut once inside the arbor it was not
necessary for tha young men to set the .sold
5riend going" Placing his thin hand against
his hat witA a correct military salute, he
began in a tone which, though firm and
dignihed, had yet certain tmploring ac-
cent: i.
"Ah! good morning, yeung gentlemen.
I'm IN . d United States volunteer, as you
see, /" and he pointed significantly to the
letters OF his carefully peaked hat; yes,
Imam old q. s. v, one of the rank and file
merely, but came over here to-day with
an object I always go everywhere with
an object"
He paused a moment, as If to make the
last declaration the more impressive; and
Frank Barker, taking advantage of the op-
portunity, remarked, perfectly respect
fully:
II suppose you were in the service some
time, and probably saw some engage
ments?'
The old veteran raised his eyebrows as
oAouSA sur pItsSN u1 bu6 1nQu11nS tones,
then began in the slow recitative way which
gave promise of the desired story:
I'm the service? Oh, yes, my boy, was
in the service, sure! And any engagements,
did you say? Oh, yes; I run with the rest
from the first Bull Run; then I was with
Pope in the second battle-tha5 was hot
one, can tell you! Let's see that was
away back along in the summer of '62, and
tho fall OF that same year had another
taste OF the sorrows of war at Fredericks-
burg under Burnside
He seemed to sink into q reverie for q
moment, but with start began again:
In any engagements. did you ask. Mes

Why, my boy, I fought with Pleasonton at

Jackson fell, riddled by his own men,"
The old man fell into soliloquy at this
recollection
"Ah me! they call Death the great lev
eler, and we'll they may. You forget the
man was rebel and think of him only as
brother when you hear he has fallen.
But you asked about engagements, he
added, waking up again. Dear me, yes; it
was only the summer of that same year I

lie. Further back, near the center OF the
town an occasional drum-beat, betokening
the gathering OF an organized body of men
preparing to do duty on an important and
solemn occasion. Unmistakably Memorial
Day!
Along Highland avenue, at the terminus
OF which was the large cemetery, was an
almost unbroken procession Of people of all
ages and conditions, hurrying toward the
grounds where in another hour Il favorite
chaplain was to deliver the Grafton of the
day.
Frank Barker and Eugene Howard, sew
enteen and eighteen years, arespe ctively
took In with keen interest each phase OF the
holiday scene
doesn't seem possible there ever could
have been a war right here in our own
country, does it: Frank asked Il sup
pose,' he added, 1t would appear more
likely had any one belonging to NE been in
the army, but as it is, Memorial Day seems
to me more like day for the parading Of
the living than the honoring of the dead"
My father was a surgeon in the army
during the last two years of the re-
beIlion," said Eugene Howard, but he died
SO many years ago never learned any thing
from him on the subject; but, then, our
histories teach US how much we owe the
men who fought those BATTLES"
Yes" began Frank, in what would have
been a cynical manner in an older man,
but the trouble is, there are so many old
buffers who are forever and ever blowing
about the war, and doubt if half of them
were ever in the slightest engagement, or
even ever snelt powder. Sort Of shakes
your faith in good many of them
"Oh, WELL replied Eugqee, IaughingIy,
Il reckon we're all willing enough to know
as little OF that unDIeasantness' as we can -
Arrived at the cemetery, the young men
walked about, stopping first to comment On
the draping of some long mound where
from headstone to foorstone the stars and
stripes were woand in graceful folds over
some sleeping patriots grave Then the
designs in plants well grown, and flowers
coaxed into early bloom, would claim more
than a moments attention.
Il believe I'm getting tired" said Frank
Barker, at last; let's go to that little arbor
down the next avenue and rest awhile We
shall hear the band eas,l y enough once the
procession draws near
The arbor was close at hand but on an
preaching near enough to see into it. there,
calmly gazing on the scene before him, sat
an old man whose appearance might have
been ludicrous had it not at the same time
been so utterly pathetic. On his head was

POulTRY-YARO ERRORS,

! The Observance of Method and System
Beneficial at All Times.
Many errors are liable to occur with
beg inners at poultry raising, for even
the veterans are not free from mistakes
at times. In selecting the breed a
large majority pay greater regard to
color and shape than to more desirable
qualities. 1t is we'll to know that the
characteristics Of the breeds should be
understood if no mistakes are to occur.
But. after breeder has become per-
fectly familiar with all that pertains to
his choice of fowls, the common rou-
tine Of the poultry yard requires at
tention. The time of feeding should
be regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose, but they are
very few who systematically feed their
fowls. Water should be kept in ths
presence Of poultry at all times, and
it should not only be clean and pure,
but fresh, and yet this important mat
ter is overlooked by many. Warmth
in winter is very essential to
laying, being as important as q
full supply of feed, but every
fowl house is not warm and
comfortable. The prevention of
dampness in the house avoids roup,
which is a terrible scourge in a flock.
but the small leaks here and there ara
not regarded as dangerous matters by
the average breeders. Even the
height of the roosts and construction
of the nests have more Or less tenden-
cy to affect the profits from poultry
than may suppose, for high roosts
cause deformed feet. and poor
nests will not be occupied by the hens
if they can get better places in which
to lay. These things are seemingly
small matters, which are unusually
overlooked, but they are important to
success. Why poultry should be ex-
pected to prove profitable withou,
care more than other stock is what we
do not understand, and the fact that
profit is derived from a flock that has
been overlooked, is strong proof tina,
poultry raising can be made to pay
we'll when conducted by thoughtful
attentive npersons. 1t is the small
matters that should receive the
most careful attention, as the observ
ance OF method and system is sure t.
prove beneficial at all times. Farm
