A RelIuious Railroad.

The Hedjaz railroad, which is to
unite Damascus with Mecca, is being
built for the purpose of carrying pill
grims to and from the latter, the holy
city of the Mussulmans. For the
larger part of its course Of some 1900
miles it will pass through deserts,
idle and unfertile regions. Still, it
will benefit some of the country about
the Jordan, a district whose crops
have no market on account of the
want of transportation; and branch
lines for commercial and industrial
uses will be constructed. From Da-
mascus to Maan, about 400 miles, the
road has been doing business for
some months. Germans superintend
the job. Turkish soldiers do the
work; and they don't get much pay.
