Feminine Train Hands.

On the through lines Of the New York,

form part VI every staff on the dining car.
The kitchen girls assist the cook. They
clean and prepare vegetables and fruits,
make salads and dressings, cut bread and
turn out butter prints. an cruets, pitchers.
cake baskets and sugar bowls with table
supplies. pack and distribute linen and
wash and dry dishes. They work ten hours
day seven days in the week. At first
they are n little unsteady and smash more
crockery and waste more supplies In day
than they can pay for In week. but after
they get their train legs on they are inval

cash, keeps an eye on the passengers and
reports at once To the manager any evil

In addition sells cigars.

tions exceed the passenger list for any day

with Wendell Phillips and Theodore Park
er, aud only escaped through technical
faw Ia the Indictment. Yet Colonel Hig-
ginson has philosophic reason for his op-
timism.
"a reformer," he says, "can always
glance hack upon his life with certain de-
gree Of satisfaction. for he sees how the
world has advanced during his own life.
and he recognizes the fact that many things
for which he has worked are already accom-
plished, and he looks forward with conf
dencr TO the future. Many changes must
come in our social arrangements. but the
reformer thinks OF them with composure.
The conservative, ON the contrary, has no
such satisfaction In looking backward. He
feels that things are not what they used TO
be when he was young, and he realizes that
the world has gone away from him."
An ardent reformer Colonel Higginson
certainly was. He was one OF the earliest
and most enthusiastic of the aboiitionists
In Massachusetts, and was forced TO resign
the pastorate of the Unitarian church in
Newburyport because OF his antislavery
preaching. He was one of the famous Wen
dell Phillips bodyRuard. organized to pro
tect the silver tongued abolitionist from the
attacks of nobs In his native Boston. He
waa active I'm the free soil agitation and was
q candidate for congress on the Free Soil
ticket. He was personally acquainted with
John Brown and served rs brigadier on
the free state forces Of James ii. Lee. He
helped organize an unsuccessful expedition
To rescne two Of John Browns companions
from prison at Harpsr's Ferry and went 70

Der OF the same year he was appointed colo

| year later received wound that disabled
him and eventually caused his retirement,
| Colonel Higginson was born In the shadow
/ Of Harvard college, OF which his father was
steward. Dec -. is23 He graduated from
the college In is4i and from the divinity
school six years later. He was ordained fol
