sloeping-Car Porters Who IIavo Made tho
~ Longest Euns in tho World.

SAooPAB-Sar Eoreers who I1avo Made tho
H. Longest Huns in tho World.
The only employees of the Canadian
Pacific who arc with the express trains
all the time between Montreal and Van
couVcr are the slecping-car porters.
Ihcy travel nearly three thousand miles
without n break and arc on the road for
nearly six days. 1t is pretty hard
LIE, but at both ends of the route the
porters have an opportunity to rest,
though even then they hardly gcS suf-
hcient rccuPeration. For two or thr".
nights tho porter is not likely to -.
over three or four hours sleep a nir!.t
and he is lucky if he gets that He l.;
his own conductor, and collecting the
Slecping-car tickets and accounting for
them adds considerably to his work.
Leaving Montreal at $40 D. m. he is
certain to have busy time ;lt Ottawa
shortly after midnight, and then he has
his boots to black, and he is lucky if he
gets wink Of sleep before two or
three q. m. lie takes pillow and lies
down in the smoking room when no
passengers arc there, and catches cat
maps If he can. He is likely at any
moment to be aroused by bell sum
Inonipg him to one of the bcrths, and
the bell is sure to be kept busy after
daybrealk.
After leaving Winnipeg he has a
comparatively easy time across the
plains. though he is compelled to be up
alter midnight both ut lcgina and at
Calgary. At al important stations II,
has to go to the telegraph Office with
statement Of the accommodations IN
occupied in his ear, so that the station
agents aheal may dispose of bcrths.
lie has o busy time through the noun
tains AS n rule he loses nearly hi !
entire carload at-Winnipcg, and it fills
up there ut once with passengers from
the south. He loses his passengers
again ut Banff. and their places are
supplied by tourists who arc going on
from that pleasure resort; then many
OF his passengers get off ut Glazicr AMI
others como on, SO that nearly all the
time he has much to do in the wcv OF
keeping his accounts, besides his duties
as porter.
At Vancouver he laws over for two
days, and as I rule he sleeps in the car.
occupying it all the time for the round
trip. When he returns to Montreal he
has been away fourteen days. Then
he has n longer rest. He is of duty
for five days, except that he has to take
his turn reporting at the depot ut night
to assist tho outgoing porter in taking
care OF luggage. His five days rest
puts him in pretty good condition for
another two weeks siege.
The porters say the trip is rather
try ng, but that there is nothing like
getting used to q thing. The company
pays them forty dollars q month anl
they expect to make at least as much
more in fees. All of them are colored
men from the states and have served
on some of our best lincs.-N. Y. Sun.

Money In the Mails.

Scattered on the floor of postal car
on the New York & Pittsburgh railroad,
in which were tons of mail matter, the
clerks found, week or two ago, three
hundred and ten dollars in gold pieces
OF various denominations. Portions of
the wrapper were found, but not enough
to identify the address or serve as
clcw to the sender. The one who mailed
the package doubtless thought he could
save the cost of registering or else he
did not know how to put up package.
There is no way of Identifying lost coin,
and the person in this instance, who
shipped his gold in ffimsy wrapper,
will probably never be ablc to provo
his claim to the money now held by
Uncle Sam. The post office officials say
that it Is common practice for people
to mail money of largo and small
amounts Uncommon envelopes and light
wrappers

Full of Life md Action
The city under tho SEQ which has
been discovered between Gredo and
Palo, In Istria, Is believed to be the
ruins Of elisa, mentioned by Pliny as
situated on an island of that name A
diver reports having seen tho streets,
walls and quays, but the doors and win

with silt and seaweed. While ON this
subject, says Cassell's Family Magazine,
we may mention that the remarkable

ers hundred acres, and is situated on
the Strathfieldsaye estate Of the duke
of Wellington. Walls gates, streets,
baths and private houses have been laid
bare, and a rich collection of pottery,

Among these are ON iron carpenters

the odgc tools are still keen enough to
work with. A piece Of tile retains the
imprint of q baby's foot, and another
that Of u shoe or sandal with springs in

coarse cooking vessels to artistic ware;
the iron work shows ornamcntation and
the needles or other household articles
bear witness to fairly high degree of

A SINKING NIL.
n Curious Phenomenon ON tho Tuttlo
Earm In BloonnAeld Conn.

n Curious Phenomenon ON tho Tuttbo
f. Farm In Bloona1eld. Conn
jeremiah Tuttle, farmer of Bloom
field. has hill on his big farm In that
town that is sinking into the bowels of
the earth, says u Hartford Comm COR
respondent of the New York Sun. Mr..
:Tuttle has beautiful farm, most Of
which Is In @ normal condition. There
are great fertile meadows, wido rcaches
OF noble forest, and hero and there spa
cious pastures in which his blooded
cows Craze on hcrbagc that is almost
lzneo-dcep- The queer sinking hill Is
in ono of the big pastures, in what Mr..
Tuttlc calls the ''roclz PASTURE Tho
grass Is finer in that ono than In any
other pasture in tho whole region. ES-
actly in the center of tho big lot is
bill, capacious of girth, but not moro
than twelve feet high. The Oldest In
habitant OF Bloomfield, who Is upward
OF eighty-flve years old, afflrms that tho
hill is as familiar to him as any room In
his own homo, for many Bloomfield
people have been in the habit of taking
short cut" home across Jcr1y's rock
pasture, and that he never notod any
thing odd about tho hill until lntely.
Now, since the hill Is said to be sinking,
Bloomfield people avoid the rock pos
ture, for they believe it Is enchanted
A few weeks ago Mr.. Ttlttle sent his
hired man, Michael Flann igan, who has
worked ON the Tuttle farm for years,
to the rock pasture with tho cows, and
in half an hour Michael came home hur-
riedly with u startled look In his face
When he entered the pasture, he said
later, no stopped in amazeInent, for he
saw at glance that the hill bod gone
down into the earth several inches since
his visit to the lot day or two before
was o correct one he went close TO it
and took OH estimate of it's height,
sighting across its top" at old-timc and
trustworthy landmarks, and was satis-
fed that it had gone down not less than
eight or ten inches After he had told
his story, everyone, Mr.. Tuttle, too,
guycd him ncrcilessly. But Michael
doesn't drink, 30 he took the gliding
good naturally, and persisted in affirm
ing that this statement was correct
His earnestncss finally impressed
others, and Dir. Tuttle and some of tho
neighbors visited the rock posture with
Flnnnigan, whose declaration ut once
WIS seen TO be true Tho hill had sunk
several inches since Michacls previous
visit Moreover, the hill is still sink
ing daily. Slowly and pcrsistently it
Is being swallowed up. 1t is now only
slight undulation in the lot, ind its
top but foot or two above the rest of
the land there. What is the cause of
the phenomenon no one attempts to ex-
plain, but the Bloomfield people are
certain that very soon the hill will have
entirely disappeared

borg ran her little Jimmy into Billy
Coles house and heat him with stick
large as her arm. She heard his
screams, tut could not go to him.
Jimmy pulled up on the desk and
nodded his head approvingly to his
mothers testimony. A smile parted
his lips and tho little snaggled teeth
showed great confidence in his mothers
testimony. The little Rosenberg child
rem looked at their mother and sneered,
as much as to say, what lies"
Then Mr.. Greer testified and was fol-
lowed by the little girl. Mrs. Rosen.

was all that could be heard. Mr. Greer
raised his arm in the air and declared
that Mrs Rosenberg had not told the
truth
The proceedings were about to be re-
solved into family quarrel when the
mayor ordered all of them to leave the
office nd:settle their troubles with chill
dren at home.
Mrs. Rosenberg said she did not
strike Jimmy at all, but only caught
him by the arm. She had little
switch in her hand, and the boy yelled,
30 she turned him loose.
