A Tarantuia of Trousers.

1t was a queer mix-up that met his
fond mothers gaze as she stepped into
the boudoir of her only hopeful" TO
tell him that it was time to tip his
hat to slumber and HE himself to
breakfast and to business. The room
looked like clothing counter during
a fire sale. The bed was a tangled
mass of trousers legs, and 1t was with
difficulty that the startled mother
found the peaceful. sleeping face OF her
only son. Her expression hardened
into look of sternest disapproval. for
the accent OF inebrlety was only too
plain-so she thought. But she was
mistaken. 1t was only an accident.
The gas was burning low when he went
to his room that night, and in attempt
ing to turn 1t up he turned II out. For
lack of matches he had disrobed in the
dark. Consequently he did not see the
eight pairs of trousers that were ly-
ing in pile on his bed after a return
from the presser's. Those eight pairs
Of trousers ran up a good-slzed tailor's
bill during that one-night stand with
their restless owner. When he awoke
one pair was wound around his neck,
and the immediate surrounding coun-
try looked like fricassee OF panta-
looms.

THE HEAVIEST B. & O. TRAIN.

When the receivers OF the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series of improvements OF the physi-
cal condition of the entire system,
their object was to increase both the
train load and the number of revenue
tons per mile and at the same time
reduce the cost of transportation.
Much has been done, and by the low
ering Of grades, elimination OF curves,
laying OF new steel rails and the pur-
chase of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number OF
cars per train. But 1t was not until
the 18th of March last that a demon
stration was made of what might be
expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. Enough new Seton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department chance
to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each
weighing $4,000 pounds, were loaded
with an average of $4,000 pounds Of
coal To them was coupled a new
22x28 inch consolidation LOCOMOTIVES
weighing 16S.700 pounds and having
"a inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland, Md, and the
destination was Brunswick, Md, on
the second division. In his report Cen
eral Superintendent Fitzgerald says
the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class of engines used
will be able to handle so cars Of 90
tons capacity each on that division
without trouble. Hitherto the train
load on that division has been 325 units,
Of 6h tons each or about 1900 tons, n
40 per cent increase over that OF five
years ago. The so car train was CONF
puted as containing 497 units, or 6,45Sr,
100 pounds gross. The net weight Of
coal in the train was 4,758, 100 pounds.
1t was by far the heaviest train ever
handled over the line and demonstrat-
ed that heavy power, modern equip
ment with safety appliances, and a
good track. mean more revenue tons
per mile and a decreased cost OF trans
portation.
