Earthen Bumninr Posts.

Dumping posts of earth are used
with success in place of the usual wood
and iron humping posts on many of
the spur tracks and blind sidings of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. These
earth humping posts consist of a heap
of compacted clay or gravel about ten
feet long and five feet high, placed in
the usual location at the end of the
track. These heaps of earth offer
sufficient resistance to stop the car and
at the same time are yielding enough
to prevent any great damage to lis
buffer blocks and draught rigging.
After the collision the humping post
is repaired by the section men, who
simply replace the dislodged earth
with their shoVels.

orally examined a candidate, to wind
up the affair by looking very serious
and saying: Now, l must ask you one
more question. After a solemn
pause. he added: do you prefer wine
or beer?" When the candidate heard
that question he knew he was all right,

has not as yet hit upon a uniform
method of addressing them. and, in his
indecison, has resort to hi, say

doubtless settle upon the right thing
eventually. The other day, on a Hunt
ington avenue car. a conductor, who
had evidently given much attention to
the subject, won special distinction for
himself by the use of the word
madam in this regard. But there is
no rose without a thorn. Among his
passengers was colOred girl, who
carried large bundle. doubtless the
weeks wash of some patron. She ask

when the car arrived there he said to
