by the municipality, supplies a vast
population with frequeat. comfortable.
quick, and wonderfully cheap trans.
portation in a bewildering variety OF
directions. Manchester has arranged
with the authorities Of outlying towns
to operate the traction lines Of each,
and thus secured a uniform servics
under one management. The cars
are large, handsome, well lighted,
noiseless, running without jar over a
faultless track, and equipped with
every imaginable comfort. The hours
of the employees nave Deen reuuceu
to 54 hours a week. a reduction Of
more than 16 hours week from the
schedule enforced by the private COM
pany. the wages have been increased,
the city now provides the men with
uniforms. In the days Of private
ownership, the company paid the city
s115,00O a year. The city's gross profit
from its own operation OF the lines is
about sf,100,00O year From this,
various sums are charged of for the
sinking fund to pay the purchase
price. for the reserve fund and for
depreciation, after which s25O,O0O

Now that both Moscow and St Pc
tersburg are said at intervals to be In
a state Of siege, one recalls one Of the
best stories told about the siege OF
Paris. A much loved collie dog had,
with great difficulty been preserved by
its doting owners from the death that
befell all pets during that time Of
starvation; It had shared what little
food came into the household; 1t had
been kept concealed from all hungry
visitors. There came at last a day,
however, when 1t, too, had TO go, and
the sorrowfng but famished family met
its pet for the last time in the soup
tureen. They ate In silence until moth
ing remained but a heap Of bones.
Then the master OF the house, an alb
sent minded person, looked round In
search of something and said with a
sigh, How poor old Rover would have
