A Call for Pearline

came to fetch me, and we started off through the garden For his sire's place of retirement lay away from the road, to- ward the river, that the dear old gentle man might command a view of the peaks opposite, of one of which. called the Et- chiu Fuji from it's conical form, he was dotingly fond.
 The worthy virtuoso, as he was, met us at the door and escorted us up stairs to see his treasures. The room was tapestried with all manner of works of art, of which he was justly proud, while the house itself stood copied from a Chinese model, for he was very classic. But I was pleased to find that above all his heart was given to the view. It was shared, as I also discov- cred, by the tea ceremonies, in which he was proficient; such mixture is man. But believe the view to have been the deeper affection. While was admiring it he fetched from cupboard very suspi- cious-looking bottle of what turned out to be honey, and pressed glass of it upon me. l duly slipped this not inappropriate liquor, since eordials savor of asceticism, and this one, being of natural decoction, Then took my leave of one who, though no longer in the world, was still so charm ingiy of it.
 The good soul chanced to be widower, but such bereavement is no necessary pre- liminary to becoming "dweller in retire. ment." Sometimes a man enters the ink yo state while he has still with him the helpmate of his youth, and the two go to- gether to this aftermath of life. Surely a pretty return this of the honeymoon! Darby and Joan starting once more hand in hand, alone in this Indian summer of their love, as they did years ago in it's springtide, before other generations of their own had pushed them on to less TO- mantle parts: Darby come back from pa ternal cares to be once more the lover, and Joan from mother and grandma again become his girl

These figures show at once the greater economy and efficiency with which rail way operations in New England can be conducted. One engine moves many more tons of freight and vastly greater number of passengers in New England than in tho country as 8 whole; and the gain in efficiency and economy here has 36 cars carry 100000 passengers in New England, where for the whole country 54 cars are used, and where in New England in 1880 49 cars were used. The freight figures show differ ence for the section and . gain for the ten years only little less naked. Mani festly larger traffic has effected a con- siderable saving in expense, and so made it possible to reduce rates, and reduced rates in turn invite larger traffic. But the small CT reduction in passenger than in freight rates, and the larger increase in passenger traffic and earnings therefrom, would seem to show that the passenger traffic has not been favored by tho companies to the extent it really deserved. This further appears from the summary as to employees, where it is shown that for each man employed in 1880 l, ,502 tons of freight were carried, and in 1889 only 1908 tons distinct loss in labor efficiency; whereas in the passenger service the number car r1ed per employe increased from 3,25O in 1880 to 1, 029 in 1889-a distinct gain in efficiency. It is to be remembered, how ever. that the growth of freight traffic has been attended by larger expenses for switching, etc.
 Coming now to expenditures, it appears that operating expenses of the New Eng land roads per mile of operated line in creased from s5, ,311 in 1880 to s7,154 in 1889; interest payments from $791 to $S51 i; rentals from $390 to $1 ,116; taxes from $272 to $466; and dividends decreased from $1, 184 to 1925. The large increase in ren- tals and decrease in dividends is due to the consolidation tendency, roads then in- dependent now being operated under lease and receiving rentals that are paid out by them in dividends, but which appear on the books of the opera ting companies Cfrom which the census figures are taken) only as rentals. Com parison with the roads of the whole coun- try shows for New England $9, ,283 in gross earnings per mile, against $e,290 for the whole country; operating expenses $6, 346, against s4 ,203; net income &, ,937, against 2,087; interest on funded debt $S86, against $1 1889; taxes $375, against $175; dividends $1 ,160, against $535, and ren- tals the same for both.-Springfeld Re- nuh1icap
