Cost OF Sunday Holiday.

According to a Paris newspaper,
a competnet authority estimates that
the yearly cost to the railroads of
France of giving their workmen a
day off each. week will be from &c.
100000 to $S,O0O,0U0. 1t will be
remembered that the Sunday Rest
Law, recently passed, exempted the
railroads from it's provisions, the in
tention being, apparently, to take
up the needs of railroad workmen

As there is scarcely a more inter.

Horne is never too much occupied to
discuss the Mt. Washington railway
and he knows the subject thoroughly.
Mr.. Horne has been connected with
the Mt. Washington road for 32 years:

Hire Regular Pres. Agents.

Diplomats in the passenger and
freight departments get all the busl-
ness they can while other diplomats
perform other services for the corpo-
rations. Lately railroads have fol-
lowed the example Of the Erie In
hiring regular press agent. Often
one Of the vice presidents is the man
whose duty it is to make as good an
impression with the public as he pos.
s.bly can for his road. There every
where Is in the railroad world evil
dence OF a disposition to deal more
openly with the public. This. of
course, necessitates the employment
of men who possess In some marked
degree the characteristics and re-
sourcefulness that make diplomats.
The result is that the railroad bust
ness now offers the aspiring young
man few more chances than 1t used
to. and in Chicago. the railroad cen
ter of the United States. those chances
are more numerous than they are in
any other city in the country.

Chicago. - Rev. George II. Will
son, pastor Of the Congregational
church at De Kalb. conducts
unique school for young people
whom he expects to marry. The
object of this is to impress them
with the nature and the solemnity OF
the vows they take on themselves
when they become man and wife.
When prospective groom ap-
proaches the minister and engages
him to perform the ceremony, the
pastor gives him printed sheet on
which is printed the form OF marriage
ceremony that he will use. He asks
the man to read over the words. to
show the sheet to his prospective
bride she may know what she IL ex-
pected to promise when she appears
before the man who Is to join her and
her lover for all time.
This sheet contains a service with
or without the use OF a ring, but in

Mr.. Wilson, for a husband and wife
to look at this little sheet Of paper

ROPES CARRY ORE CARO-.
Remarkable Line Connects Copper
and Silver Mines.

A rope railway has been built to
connect the copper and silver mines
at Upulungos. in the heart of the
Cordilleras, with the railhead Of the
Argentine railway at Chilecito. The
nature OF the mountainous country did
not admit of an ordinary railway.
This new rope line 81 miles long.
consists OF main carrying rope and
a guide rope, and is in duplicate. hay
Ing four ropes for the up and down
trafnc. There are nine stations; the
ropes are carried from one station
to the next at varying elevations, and
are anchored at each station. The
cars for the transport Of the ore, ETC.,
are slung on the main ropes and are
suspended from them by rollers which
run along the line. At each station
they are transferred to the next rope,
thus dividing the strain, and for great
distances the ropes are also anchored
between the stations.
The difference OF level between Chi
lecito and upulungos is over 1900
feet, and The gradients are very steep.
sometime as much as 80 per cent.
The cars descend by their own weight
and their momentum serves. as in an
ordinary funicular railway. to raise
the ascending cars on the up line. but
at several stations there are small
steam engines to supplement the pow
err. Each carload is half ton of ore;
the maximum delivery at Chilecito ID
10 tons per hour. and 20 tons for thu
return journey to Upulungos. The
speed of the cars is about 500 feet per
minute.
The ropes are supported and their
tension maintained by iron trellis
Orders, varying from 10 feet to 100
feet in height, and the span of the
rope between them is from 800 feet
to 5000 feet. according to the nature
Of the ground: which is deeply cleft In
many places. In one section Of the
line tunnel 1000 feet dong has been
necessary.
