presented the demand, then reduced
the pay to the old figures. The
messengers asked for GardIo's reinstate-

German Socialists Declare Such Is the At

BERLIN, Jan. A sensation has been
caused by the publication in socialist pa
pers of confidential circular sent by the
government to the directors of the differ
ent state railroads. Labor agitators make
political capital out of the circular, which
they aver, pIainld shows that the govern
ment is ipimical to the interest of tn
laboring classes. The circular declares ID
effect that the present financial situation
is such as to render necessary the adoption
of a policy of retrenchment, and the
directors of state railways are informed
that they must reduce the wages of EN-
ploves and dismiss all whose services can
possibly be dipensed with.

IHE car famine is one of the curious at
tendant evils of the railway problem in
this country. The scarcity of freight cars
has become general and to it the recent
rise of four cents bushel in the price of
corn at New York is principally attribut-
ed. In a word the railroad companies are
unable to meet the sudden demand for
cars created by the great crop surplus.
which Is seeking market. Germany was
troubled with q ear famine many years
ago and has adopted measures to relieve
It, which have been in degree successful.
Shippers have been induced to lag in stocks
OF coal and orher heavy freighs during the
dull season and railroad companies to
carry their own supplies in that season.
The railroads have adopted uniform rule
OF caillng In their cars that have gone
from the home roads, and of preparing for
the gram movement by hiring cars from
small roads that have them to spare. The
companies have also improved their facil-
tiles for loading and unloading, SO that
the cars need not be detained long at any
point. As result of these precautions
the German railroads were enabled to
carry 70 per cent. more freigh. in 1890
than In 1887, although the increase in the
number of cars was only about IL per
cent. The government has also taken
measures to increase the carrying capacity
of new cars from twelve and one-half kilo-
metric tons to fifteen tons.

How She Wrote It.

One of the qualities necessary to sue
cess in any line of work is the ability to
think and act practically upon the every
day questions of life.
A young woman who had charge Of
the cataloguing of the accounts of a
Philadelphia bank employed as an as
sistant girl apparently intelligent and
we'll educated, to whom she gave the
necessary directions for the work. One
of the instructions was that. while she
was to write out the full name where an
abbreviation was used, she must never
abbreviate name.
One day the young woman in charge
found the following peculiar name and
address, neatly written out by the as
sistant, "Sanl. Brown, trustee for
George and Minnie Section, Academy of
Natural Sciences"
Somewhat surprised at the address,
she asked to see the ledger from which
it was copied. The ledger read, "Saml.
Brown, trustee for Geo. and Min. Sec
ton, Academy of Natural Sciences"
The young woman had never studied
either geology or mineralogy, but when
the matter was explained to her she
found that the word ''Section" is not al
ways surname, and that Geo." may
be an abbreviation for something quite
different from George.-Youth's Com
panion.

route from Scotland to Windsor. last
November, is perhaps the most power
full engine that has ever been built. AL
though heavier than any other that has
been made at Crewe, it is 90 constructed
that there is no more than the usual
weight on any one pair of wheels. and
there is therefore no extra strain on the
permanent way or bridges. This Is
brought about by the two pairs OF driv-
ing wheels being placed in front OF the
frebox. and an additional pair Of small
wheels behind the hrebox and under
meath the footplate. having half an inch
of side play. The wheels under the
front or leading end are fitted with
Webb's patent radial axle box. 80 that
although of great length. the engine can
