Railroad Scrap Heap.

Empty barrels, earboys, pieces OF
rope, scraps of gold leaf used for letter
ing, sections of ruber hose, rubber cloth
and other similar things have a market
value that makes them worth saving.
We get about $4,000 a year for these
discarded ties. These ties are of yellow
pine and they are sold at ten cents each.
The greatest loss in operation is in the
locomotive and cars. A new engine
costs from $4,000 to 5000, and will
last about 15 years by bei8g shifted
from the main lines to the side tracks
and switches. In the end it is sold for
from $4,000 to $4,000, according to its
condition. A new passenger coach costs
about $4,000, and after twenty years Of
service will bring $500. A new freight
car will cost from $3.50 to $500, and after
fifteen years of service is worth only
$3.50.

tured to their masters Mr.. Offender
fer gives the following account Of the
process, which is from on eyewitness:
'"The sale Of human beings ia ths
market on board the ship is carried on
thus: Every day Englishmen, Dutch
men and high German people come from
the city of Philadelphia and other
places-some from great distance, say
so, 80 and 120 miles away-and go on
board the newly arrived ship that has
brought and offers for sale passengers
from Europe, and select among the
healthy persons such as they deem suit
able for their business, and bargain
with them how long they will serve for
their passage money, for which most OF
them are still IN debt. When they have
come to an agreement it happens that
adult persons bind themselves in writ
ing to serve three, four, five or six years
for the amount due by them, according
to their age and strength. But very
young people, from 10 to Is years, must
serve until they are 81 years old. Many
persons must sell and trade away their
children like SO many head OF CATTLE"
This is no very pleasant picture, and
yet, redemptioners were not always such
great sufferers, after all. There is a
brighter side. The immigrants were
nearly all peasants-but another name
for serfs in Germany in the eighteenth
century. They left little that was joyful
behind them. Like the slave, the lot Of
the ipdentured servant was better or
worse accordingly as he found good or
bad masters.
Mr.. Diffenderffer's study; especially as
it relates to the redemptioners, is a
valuable one. It will tell many Pennsyl-
vanians a great deal about their ances-
tors, and lead them to feel better salts
fed with their own lot in the world after
they have considered what their immi-
grant forbears had to pass through.
when each packed up his chest of goods
and came across the sea to establish
himself in William Penn's wilderness
among the Indians as a buffer for the
Quakers in Philadelphia Mr.. Diffen-
deTffer mentions the Quakers boast
that they never had any quarrels or un-
pleasantness with the Indians. He sees
good reason for this in the fact that the
Germans surrounded them on all sides,
and their bodies became the shields to
protect the English colonists, who were
more happily situated. Moreover-and
this was for long ground for bitter diff
ference between the Quakers and the
Dutch-the Quaker assembly, opposed
10 warlike measures, steadfastly refused
to vote money for the defense of the
frontiersmenI against the Indians. But
this old score may have been eVened up
by this time, for Mr.. Diffenderffer says
that the Quakers have now lost control
of everything, while the Pennsylvania
Germans are triumphant in all depart
men:s of life If this be true, time has
brought them their justification, and
they should be happy to have come into
their rights at last.-Philadelphi

Military orthographx.

A British soldier, who is at this mo-
ment serving in South Africa, recently
sent q letter to the war office containing
word that baf1ed the imagination Of
every clerk and official to whom the
puzzle was submitted. The mysterious
word was spelled 'yfe.'' 1t was repeat
ed several times, and seemed, indeed, to
be the main subject Of his communiea-
ton. At length It occurred to one Of
the clerks to consult the hall porter-a
grizzled veteran quite unhampered by
board school accomplishments.
"Can you tell me the meaning of this
word. Sampson?" asked the brilliant
clerk.
''I should think I could" replied the
veteran, with mild contempt. "Y-f-e
spells wife, of course What else could
it spell, sir?''-The King.
