Railway Porters In England.

Now, are railway por,ers as a body OF
men as well of as they would DC in any
other occupation for which they are fts
The answer must be Yea" Four fifths
of them have been farm laborers, laborers
about towns or men without trade, and
in such capacities they would seldom riss
above the level Of being able to keep body
and soul together, whereas directly they
join railway they have regular wages and
prospects Of promotion What regular
wages mean only those know who have
had employment for part of year aud
have had TO make shift for the rem aindee.
Every porter must belong to sick fund;
and If be is not a member OF one at the
time he joins the service he must belong %
the one carried on by the company, so that
In times of sickness he stal draws enough
money to keep himself. IL is very necse-
kary that this should be compulsory. fog
there are many men who arc quite indif-

and his own; but, seeing that the widow
was looking at him inquiringly and eX-

she still considered him reproduction Of
her departed husband.
"More than ever" said the widow; "and

When bedtime came Barker was con-
Quoted to a chamber leading off from the
room where the widow kept her safe and
account books. He went off to sleep very
easily in spite of the fact that he was in
cased in a strange nightshirt one of the
late lamented'S, and, if he had not been
disturbed, would have continued sleeping
till morning. AS it was he was awakened
a little after midnight by noise in the next
room. Listening, he heard what seemed
to be blows upon some hard substance.
Instantly he thought of the safe. The next
instant he slid quietly out of bed and started
upon tour of investigation.
He moved noiselessly toward the door
connecting his room with the outer cham
Der and stood upon the threshold a num-
Der of seconds, watching what was tran
spring in the outer room, before the
persons who were working there were
aware of his presence He saw two men,
one of whom was gray whiskered and ap-
parently 50 years old, engaged with ham,
mer and chisel upon the safe. The gray
whiskered man was the first to take cog
nizance of Barker, and he no sooner saw
him than, with loud shrek, he threw
down his tools and started on the run for

and after the two ran Barker, still in his
borrowed rightshirt and nothing else,
carrying one Of the burglars hammers in
one hand and their lamp in the other. He
followed the men down stairs and into the
sitting room. but he did not leap after them

not have done that under any circum-
stances, clad as he was, but there was one

| Something which he saw after he had en-

Best actors are not always members o4

at in acting is the snatching of a page from

actors on tee stage fail to secure a page

the actual necessities of life before him,
rarely fails to produce the effect at which
he aims. Take the tramp. In the street

the shape of kindly mention in the
Age, that was creditable to his heart.
More newspapers are started every
year in Texas than in any half dozen
other states, and more also are con-
signed to the grave yard. The NOR
raIity among Texas newspapers lie
quite heavy, but that has no terrors
Tor men that feel call to start a
newspaper away out in the brush at
some cross road, or in a city already
populated with newspapers. Hard
times seems to stimulate the starting
OF newspapers, in localities where
there is no prospect of longevity.
When all else fails, men starts a
