likely to be imbued with. or at all events
to some extent tinctured with, some of
the more prominent virtues, including
that of honesty, than she had found in the
Southrons. These latter she considered
spoiled by the annual thrush Of London

The Method of Collection and In
spectfon Prevents Free Rides.
The chances Of eyading fares on the
street cars of German ciI1es are very
slight When a passenger steps on a
car, the conductor Immediately asks
where he il going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as re-
ceipt for the fare. The preparation of
ia ticket consists only Ia detaching It
from block and punching 1t or mark
ing 1t with a pencil
This process involves much more
work than the simple. process Of ring
Ing up the fares, as conductors do In
America, but the task is Iightened by
the fact that only a certain number of
persons are permitted to ride on a car
at the same time. The number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. II a car is de-
signed to carry 80 persons, no more
than 30 persons Will be permitted On
that ear 1t the same time When any
thing ID Germany Is forbidden, It is
settled once for all.
In order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket inspect
