THE TRAM SERVICE OF TODAY.

During all of this growth of the rail
road system in which such a vast capital
has been sunk and gone out of existence,
and rates for transportation have been re-
duced so largely, the number of persons
employed in the care of railroads and in
train service has increased until there are
to-day nearly two million of men en-
ployed throughout the whole country IN
this business, and the number of persons
in the families supported by them is esu-
mated to be at least ten million The dal-
ly payments by railroad companies direct
ly and indirectly to these persons amount
to one million five hundred thousand DOL
lars or over four hundred million dollars
a wear. An eighth of all the people in the
limited States are to-day supported by the
men who are engaged in train service, or
in the care of the property over which the
train service is performed. With this
tremendous growth of the railroad system
of the country the train service of to-day
has come into existence. Out of disorder,
within a generation, there has come order.
Out of confusion there has come system.
Out of independent action there has grown
up body of men bound together by fra
ternal ties, who are engaged in train ser
service. The men who carry on the nigh
ty commerce of the nation work with the
method, regularity and discipline of "a
trained army. No longer can it be said
that in this service it is each man for him.

ture in this country. There are now un-
der vine culture in America 400, 600 acres,
of which about 300, 900 acres are bearing.
The estimated value of the vineyards and
wine cellars is $155, ,000,0 900. In Califor-
mia there are 15O, 900 acres under vine cul-
ture, and large proportion of the grapes
produced is made into wine. Most of the
grapes grown in New York State are sold
for food. The total production of wine in
the United States during the past year is
about 40, 1000, 900 gallons.
The New York fish commissioners will
distribute this year to the streams, lakes
and ponds of the State 2,101 800 brook
trout, 2,500, 900 brown trout and 1910, 900
lake trout. The commission has still to be
distributed 100,0 brook trout fry and
about 6,000,0 900 lake trout, which will be
turned into the lakes near the State hatch
cries. 1t is proposed to fix the legal size
of fish to be taken by length rather than
weight and make the close season from
April to September in all parts of the
State, including the Adirondacks, where
there is now an extension of fifteen days.
-Fhe mayors plan to take the property
of the Water company will, it is expected,
come before the board of aldermen this
evening. 1t should receive no considers
ton beyond what is necessary to promptly
and effectually put it out of the way. 1t
is not in legal shape, and if it were there
is no popular demand for it or any other
plan which will increase the debt Of the
city and make more offices to fight over.
The "water question" was settled several
years ago. There is no public interest in
it now. The Water company is treating
the city and the citizens we'll enough.
The aldermen will show wisdom and a
proper regard for the city's interest by in
definitely postponing the whole matter.

OPIUM AS CURRENCY.

In parts of the Hankow district
opium is used as a medium of eX-
change, and the consul there explains
the curious circumstance in this way:
Commerce, except along the water
routes. is in a primitive condition.
The great weight of the copper coin
age renders it unsuitable for ex-
change. Silver, which is used in the
large towns, is used in bulk by
weight. 1t is melted into Jumps of
varying purity and weight. The
most generally used vary from IS to
70 ounces each. The inconvenience
of dividing it is a serious drawback
to it's being used in the country, as is
also the difficulty of testing its pure
ness. The credit of the native bank
ers is not widely enough established
to give an extended currency to their
notes. Under these conditions opium
is found useful, in addition to pure
barter, which still prevails to some
extent, in facilitating the exchange
of ommodities. In this respect it
has three advadtages-it is almost
universally in demand, it is light and
porta BILE, and it is easily divided into
small quantities. 81 London Times.

Ex-senator Blair was obliged to
leave the city in hurry owing to his
misinterpretation of the time card.
He did not have sufficient time to
gather up all his luggage, and the
clerks at the Auditorium were re-
quested to send some of the things to
Washington. While hurriedly giving
orders at the Office the cashier asked:
How about your bill?" supposing
that Mr.. Blair would order it for

When the steamer reached her
destination, Nero received a regular
ovation as he was leaving the vessel.
Some one cried, Three cheers for
Nero!" and they were given with a
will. And Good by, Nero" Good
by, good dog" resounded from every
side. Every one crowded around to
give him a pat on the head as he
trotted down the gang-plank. To
all these demonstrations he could,
of course, only reply with wag of
his plumy tail and a twinkle of his
faithful brown eyes. He kept close
to the nurses side, and watched anx-
iously his little charges arrival on
dry land.
He was taken to the home OF his
little mistress, where he lived, loved
and honored, until he died of old age,
with his shaggy, gray head resting
on the knee of the child "a woman
now that he had saved. His grave
is in an English church-yard, in con-
secrated ground. Helies in the burial
plot of the family to which he be-
longed. His grave is marked by a
fair white stone, on which is engraved
SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF NERO,

His portrait hangs over the Chin

THE VERSATILE GERMAN
EMPE ROR.

William II. is undoubtedly the
most remarkable sovereign of the
present time. He is a modern man,
Notwithstanding certain proclivities
which still adhere to him, like pieces
of the shell OF an egg from which the
bird has issued. With restless aCtiv-
ity he seizes upon all questions which
agltate our time, be they large or
small. To-day he speaks on great
European affairs, opens new issues
to German commerce, and proclaims
social reform; tomorrow he opens
an art exhibition and takes person.
al part in the performance OF Will
denbruch's patriotic drama, The
New Lord" He presides over his
Council and shows himself ready
uebater, opens Il scholastic confer
ence, laying down his educational
plans, and 1ndefatlgably travels over
his country in order to see everything
With his own eyes. Much in all this
may be attributed to his active tenn
per, but the moving principle is un-
dOubtedly the high conception of his
duty las the first servant of the
state" This conception is bound up
With strong CONSCIOUSNESS OF his
eminent position; he feels himself to
be the pillar of the state, called to
carry out a great mission. As before
the dismissal of Bismark he said he
would crush anyone trying to OBJ
struct his path, so he declared in his
late speech at Dusseldorf: Only one
is master in this country; l shall suf-
Ter no other" 1t would be unjust to
see IN such utterances, caused by a
high consciousness OF his power, abb
solutist tendencies on the part of the
Emperor. He is a constitutional
prince and has rigidly respected par
liamentary rights. But in a time
when the principle of authority and
order is undermined in many ways,
the youthful sovereign feels that he
