STEP LIVELY.
What Is Gained by spurrIns Passengers to

What Is Gained by SpurriDS Passengers to
Move Quickly.
The Pennsylvania railroad has no
tices placed in prominent positions
in all the stations within radius of
% miles of Philadelphia, requesting
passengers to board and alight from
all trains as expeditiously as posi-
bic. The reason for this, it is said,
is that it is very hard under existing
circumstances to maintain the sched-
ules to the exact minute.
Such a notice is n good thing if
people can be made to heed it. But
it is only text after all. The real
preaching and driving must be done
by the conductors and brakemen,
and the main work of the superin-
tendent will be to keep them up to
the mark. On the Manhattan Ele-
waited the injunction of the trainmen
to step lively" has become a by
word, and they doubtless find the
duty of reiterating it thousands of
times very irksome, but it is only by
this constant spur11ng at all points
that great passenger movement
can be accomplished with punctuaI-
ity.
General Manager Hahn once told
his men Gin circular issued for a
rush" day. that the country people
who would then visit New York
would not be used to 1.-The energetic
ways prevalent here" and it is a
fact that the thousands of habitual
travellers on the elevated have
learned to move promptly without
being driven and Gmost of them) with
out overriding their neighbors' rights
and convenience.
The same thing is true, but to a
less degree on the lines of heavy sub
urban travel, but the brakeman on
the ordinary railroad has a harder
task, because his passengers do not
have the practice of those who ride
every day, but even he must remem-
Der that a half minute wasted at
each one of 10 stations means five
minutes lost.
The methods of driving passengers
successfully cannot be laid down on
paper very well They must be deli
cate, for folks hate to be "bossed" by
trainmen, but they must be constant
and persistent until people do not
need to be ''bossed". When we speak
of driving" of course we mean
driving by the inductive method, so
to speak, and one of the best things
brakeman can do to induce passen-
gers to promptly prepare to disem-
bark without coercion is to announce
the station distinctly twice and al
ways minute or more before the
train stops.

Very well, monseigneur, said Du-

They went out. The fun grew fast

a Story once Told by 1owen.

Something happened one day in
James Russell Lowell's Office which
suggested the following: There was
time, some co years ago, when the
fastest sailing ships in the world were
built in the ship yards of New Eng
land. About that time an American
clipper and an English yacht were
entering the harbor of Genoa to-
gether, and therewas a race between
tho clipper and the yacht, and the
clipper won in the race. When the
two vessels were in port, the owner
of the English yacht. u person of
polished manners, came ON board the
American and very handsomely con-
graduated the captain of the clipper
upon his achievement, which he said
was ell the more remarkable in view
OF the fact that it was the first time
that his yacht had ever been beaten.
Tho liberal minded old Yankee cap
tain replied: We'll, now, that's curl

An extraordinary circumstance
that has been noticed with interest,
and that always creates surprise
when first learned, is the entire alb
sence of foreign matter in the deeper
part of the oceans floor. OF all the
vessels lost in midocean, of all the
human beings that have been
drowned, of all the marine animals
that have persisted, of all the clay,
sand and gravel let fall by dissolving
icebergs, of all the various substances
drifted from every shore by shifting
currents, not trace remaiSs, but in
their place water from 1000 to ,, 500
fathoms in depth covers the uniform
deposit of thick, blush, tenacious
slime called globigerina ooze.
a bit of this under a powerful lens
is revelation OF beauty not readily
forgotten. The ooze Is composed al
most entirely of the daintiest, most
delicately beautiful shells imaginable
AT depths greater than 9, 500 fathoms
the bottom of the sea consists mainly
of nroducts arising from e1posIre FOR
almost incalculable periods to the
chemical action of sea water, of pum-
ice and other volcanic matters. This
finally results in the formation of the
red clay deposits that are considered
characteristic of the profoundest
depths of the ocean.
Carbonate of lime, which i'll the
form of the shells of foraminifera,
makes up so large part of the globi-
gerina ooze, is here almost entirely
absent. Sea water is very nearly a
universal solvent, and before any
shell, large or small, reaches the bot
tom of these tremendous abysn it
is chemically eaten up, literally dis
solved-a result which the enormous
pressure of the water must material
ly hasten.
AT 1000 fathoms the weight of the
water pressing on all sides of an OBJ
ject immersed to that depth is very
nearly one ton to the square inch, or
more than 100 times that sustained

depths the pressure is so increased
that it would seem nothing could

Hnnniness Mt Homo.

There are many differences OF
opinion in regard to what consti-
tutes true enjoyment, but all agree
that after long pursuit of it we may
return to find it under our noses, 70
es the common saying is. Thus it
was with Mrs. Sophia Strout, who
had long contemplated spending
winter with her daughter in the
city. She had confided this inten-
ton to her friends, and assured them
she would be ready to up and start"
as soon as the first frost came. i
So much had been said, and so
many plans made that each neigh
lhor partook of the pleasing anticipa-
Ion and looked forward eagerly TO
the day of departure.

S'phi' came back to Broolsville to
attend to some business arrange

her old neighbor, Mrs. Green, but it

tage was open again.

Boards and s1ustaches In China.

Chinese common law forbids man
to preside in court of justice, in
other words to be a mandarin of rank,
unless he has a decent pair of mus
taches. This law forces many ambi-
tious men who are naturally beard
less to go to the Chi Now Shi Foo to
make brand new faces for them.
From this it can be seen that there is
no excuse and none is tolerated in
China for beardless faces or bald
