The receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad have turned their atten-
tion to the improvement Of the grades
on the third division, from Cumber-
land to Grafton, or rather that portion
which lies between Altamont, the top
OF the seventeen-mile grade, and Ter
IA Alta. where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
crosses what is known as the "Glades"
of the Allegheny Mountains. The
grades are short and choppy, some Of
them being so to So feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces of work to be
done is now N progress at No. So Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to 4215 feet per mile, with equa-
tions for curvature. 1t is expected
that the cutting down of this grade
will enable the receivers to increase
the train load from 1000 tons to 1900
tons on east-bound trains. One mile
of the roadway will be lowered and it
Is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle of October.

I'm Time.

The waiting-room of the Boston anA
Dakota Railroad station was hot
Everything about it, from the dinGy
letters on the door to the shabby
red plush of the seats, was dirty. An
odor of bananas and peppermint came
from the refreshment stand. Near the
door two schoolgirls in SNOWY hats
eyes at the ticket agent. A shriveled
old lady sat in a retired corner, sur
reptitiousTy adding to the dusty pile
OF peanut shells which lay under the
seat. Halfway down the room,
sticky child in dirty white cap, be-
kicked its mother frantically and gave
vent to series of angry shrieks.
Between the windows sat girl who,
from her small velvet turban to the
tip Of her polished boot, seemed the
very embodiment of luxury. Her
mouth had a determined expression,
but her blue eyes were unsophistica-
ted and there was an admiring, trust
full look in them as she gazed at the
man by her side.
He appeared less obviously out OF
place in the forlorn surroundings. His
clothes were new-too new; and he
seemed Ill at ease. His somewhat ex.
pressionless eyes rolled nervously and
he alternately fingered his glove but
ton and fondled a scrubby little mus
tache.
Suddenly there was a rattle and jar
at the dingy door and an elderly man
hastily entered He cast glance
about the room, and then walked a.
rectly toward the pair by the window.
The young man started up at his ap-
proach and began to speak with evil
dent embarrassment
I'VE are-that is-you see"
Come, Marguerite" interrupted the
gentleman, eve have just time to catch
the three-forty-five train for home"
He held out his hand for the travel
ing bag. The young girl drew herself
up resentfully.
Father" she said, alfred and are
together now, at last-and forever"
She smiled and looked proudly up
to the young man by her side for con-
firmation. He had picked up her bag
from the seat and was about to hand
it over her to her father. Her cheek
paled slightly and then flushed. Silent
ly she took the bag from his hand as
from that Of a servant; then lifting the
breadths of her skirts, she turned to
her father with smile lust time"
she repeated mechanically time
to catch the three-forty FIVE"

GERMAN RESTAURANTS.
Cuisine Bad and Table Manners Arc
Worse Than Unrefined.

In the German restaurant the cui-
sine is, on the whole, monotonous, and
the food singularly insipid; all meats
seem to have the same flavor, all are
served with the same heavy, viscOus
sauces, and invariably escorted with
the same soaplike potatoes, says Lip
pincott's Magazine. StOdginess and
heaviness are the great blOts on the
German fare. The element of variety,
too, seems considered superf1uOuS
chunk OF veal or pork may constitute
a meal. Dessert and horS-d 'oeuvres
now and then appear as a concession
to French taste. The sensation pro-
duced by the peculiar charm or a re-
fined repast is well-nigh unknown;
there is no thought of coupling eating
with esthetic surroundings; more often
than not 1t takes place in a crowded,
smoke-filled room. The lack or dellca-
cy in the manners Of the table is sur
prising; even pocket combs aud nalr
brushes can not unfrequently be seen
in use in a restaurant. AS a rule, 1t
matters but little what you pay; the
quality is the same throughout; none
tary differences merely involve guam
titatiye changes; 50-cent meal means
no more than double the quantity OF
uuarter-dollar one. All these facts
may explain why, to quote Montague
'Ies Allemands ne goutent pas; lis ava
lent"
