New YORK, July 27.-TspeciaI.1 - The
other day one of my friends was out
driving with Mayor Gleason, Of Long

-Parneli" and Gladstone named it is
needless to say, before the 0'Shea suit By
and by Gieason's sharp eve saw something
II the roadside, and he stopped his team.

said he; and thereupon jumped out Of the
buggy, picked up of the ground an imper-
fectly tiedged young bird which had fallen
from its nest. carefully placed il high on
limb OF a tree out OF harms way and re-
sumed his drive
This little incident reveals a new phase
of the many-sided character Of the best

well satisfied with him as ever.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION N MEXICO.

HALLWAY CONSTRUCTION II MEXICO.
The above is one Of the pecularities of
railway construction in Mexico. The
roads have TO be built by poems. and it
costs about as much TO construct them,
notwithstanding the cheap labor, as il
does In America / have talked with q
great many men engaged in railroad busi-
ness and they tell me that the Mexican

American workman does, and only the

Indians who work on the road ger from
% cents 70 IS cents q day. and
this is more than the average wages paid
them otherwheres. The railroads have in
fact increased the prices OF labor along the
lines OF the railroads. but they do not
work much better for an increase of salary
One contractor who offered them double
wages for extra work, tells me that they
did very well for The first two weeks and
then laid of until they ate up their sur
plus. There are some Mexican brakemen
employed on the railroads, but as a rule
the men who are engaged in running the
Mexican trains are Americans, with q few
Englishrnen on the old line from Vera
Cruz 10 Mexico. The wages of Americans
on the Mexican roads IS fairly good.
Passenger conductors on the Mex
lean Central get $3.50 month
month every year. Engineers are paid by
the kiiometer, or the distance travelled. and
they make from 500 to $50 month On
the Inter-Oceanic narrow gauge engineers
get salaries of $50 month, and the saia-
ries Of passenger conductors are 500, and
those of engineers 500 on the Vera Cruz
road. Among the Americans engaged on
the railways 1 did not find one Rho was
dissatisfied They all appeared TO like the
climate. the people and their work. and
not few of them had married Mexican
girls, or better. had brought American
wives to Mexico.

After the sermon in the Lutheran
church last Sunday Morning, which
was 4 practical one on church work,
spiritually and socially. the pastor came
from the pulpit into the altar and made
some stirring remarks on the necessity
of greater activity in the church. He
laid great stress on the Social work
and appointed large committee whose
duty shall be to see that the people
are made acquainted at the sociables
and the strangers welcomed.
The church council has appointed
twelve deaconesses to cooperate with
the Pastor in visiting the sick, looking
after the needy and calling on new
families.
Two large Catechetical classes are
being taught each week by the Pastor
one on Thursday evening for Adults
the other on Saturday afternoon fol
children.
The second sermon on the com
