Railroad Woes in emma.

A missionary writing from China to a
friend In this city recently described the
difficulties under which the newly COM
pleted railroads are conducted In that
country.
Passengers in the first class coaches, no
said, exhibited so strong desire to carry
off various articles from the cars as souve.
Mrs Of their trip that the coaches were
speedily stripped of those things that oon-
tribute to the comfort Of the passenger.
They took away with them hat and bum
die racks, mirrors lamp brackets, hooks,
small tables and even doors. They were
considerate enough to leave the car frame
and wheels. And the purloiners were gov.
eminent officials and people belonging to
the wealthy classes
The stations along the railroad over
which the writer Travelled were rude sheds,
very unolean and without chair or bench.
The cars, too, were very dirty. While this
was especially true Of the second class
coaches, which were oftentimes crowded
with half naked, unwashed people, the
first class coaches also became very unolean
In short time. 1t soon became necessary
to take out all the upholstery and replace
1t by plain seats.
When the railroads were being built, re.
ports were spread that the foreign CON-
tractors were stealing Chinese children
and burying them In the roadbed SO as to
propitiate the god who rules over rail-
roads, These reports greatly excited the
people, and in one instance mob attacked
two missionaries near Peking and would
have killed them had not detachment of
soldiers rescued them. Under guise of
these reports children were really kid.
mapped and taken into the cities for i'm.
moral purposes. New York Sun.

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
1t Costs at Least $4,000 Year to Keep
the Big Building In Repair.

1t costs $50, 900 year to maintain I'M
clio Sans $4,000, coo building on Capitol
hill. That is the amount congress allows
every year for mechanics ard laborors, for
brushes and hardware and lumber, for
tiles and crate bars and all the other sup
plies necessary to keep the capitol in re-
pair.
For improvements congress has apprO.
priatod an average of S25 900 year In tho
ten years just past, and much of that has
been spent in tho last IL months. Fifty
five thousand dollars has been used to
transform the senate's system Of vcntla-
tion and s45, 600 to introduce electric light
in the building and grounds For the
current year other changes are planned
There Is always something unfinished
about the capitol. A few years ago the
most noticeable incompletencss was in the
terrace on tho west front Of the building.
That is completed now. But the painters
ugly scatfold hanging In tho rotuntla
draws attention to the still unfinished
Brumidi frie2e, and in the basement of
tho senate wing tho abrupt termination of
tho brilliant tropical wall decoration is
constant source of surprise.
Chance is responsible for tho incom-
plctoness of the wall paintings. They were
begun muny years ago by an artist of rare
merit He grew tired Of tho work or he
dicd-no one about the capitol can say ac-
curatoly which. At all events he disap-
peared from the scene, and the walls of
the senate wing remain beautiful in some
spots and bare in others. The beautiful
spots have boon cleaned and renewed re-
Gently by W. II. Duckstcin. Mr. Duck
stein has added also to the cleanliness Of
what is known to the irroveront os the
chamber Of horrors by cleaning the mar
bic statues there.
The delay in completing the frieze is not
matter Of chance. it is duo to a dispute
IN tho committee on library over tho i'm
portance Of certain events in national his
tory. This fEieze, begun by Brumidi an
Italian artist, In 1878, was only partly
done at the time Of his death in 1881 The
hanging scatfDld on which Brumldi did
his last work remained in place long
time until another Italian, Costapgini,
was employed 10 carry out Brumidi'S de.
signs
What Is represented by the annual ap.
preparation OF $50 600 and in the last year
by tho special appropriations of sos, coo
and $45, 900 is rot all that it takes to run
tho capitol and grounds. Care of the
grounds costs $4,000 yeur, steam heat
ing and machinery for tho senate 1900,
tho lighting Of tho building and grounds
and OF TIC l0tanio gardens opposite $780,

In tho list Of big salmon contributed an.
nually to The Times one sees record Of
numbers of fish running from 40 pounds
to over 30 pounds. These big fish are usu.
ally bought by the most fashionable fish,
mongers, for they are rather difficult to
sell to ordinary customers Even at the
best shops one wonders how three magnif-
icent salmon, weighing from 40 pounds
to As pounds each, will be disposed Of in
the course Of % hours. Now that every
course at dinner Is served out Of sight Of
the table there Is no particular credit In
having very magnificent fish, even at a
city banquet. That, however, Is the desti-
nation Of nQst Ut the monster fish.
Some of the best hotels, too, always have
salmon one day in tho week at tho table
d'hote, and there % pound fish may Of
ten be seen lying ready for subdivision
among tho guests. Smoked salmon, main.
ly cured in Norway, is always ridiculously
dear No reason can be given for this, for
the fish costs little to cure, and there is no
risk Ct its turning bad as in the case of The
fresh fsh.-Cornhill Magazine.
