GREATER AND LESSER.


 The star must have the llmelight In showing forth her part To keep her in good nature And stimulate her art. Tho lesser luuiinaries
 Must do With none at all. They can't have finer feelings. Their wages are too small. The star must havo her dresses From Paris tailor made That she her charmg in settings That 1t them may parade. The modest little maiden
 With just q minor part May fashion her own garments. Who cares if they are smart? And yet the little sister
 Who only reads line And who supports so meekly The one who is divine May have us great a liking For fancy togs and glare And all the gaudy flxlngs The actor ladies wear. The great and mighty actress. The pet of circumstance. She isn't any better.
 She only has R chance. And yet she takes the limelight AS though it was her due. And others take the leavlngs. She sees that they are few.

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Diary Long Kept by EnsIIshman, Re-
Gently Deceased, Reveals Some
Interesting Facts.

There has Just passed away one
who was intimately associated with
our railroad system when it was in
its very crude infancy, says the Lon.
don Globe.
Mr.. David Stevenson, whose death
has occurred in his eighty-eight year,
Joined the London & Birmingham
railroad in June, 1887, and rose to the
position of goods manager of the
London & Northwestern railway. He
kept a private diary of the important
events of those early days when the
third-class passengers rode in open
carriages and tickets were torn from
book
Mr.. Stevenson told how the road
side stations were inclosed with lofty
iron ratings. within which the pas
sengers were imprisoned until the
train arrived. They were then per-
mitted to rush out to take their
places, for which they sometimes had
to join in free fight. "Then the en-
CINE gave a prolonged whistle, which
Charles Dickens described as saying,
Here are $50 people in the veyiest
extremity of danger, and here are
their 250 screams all in one.' The
clatter caused by the stone blocks.
which were used until the wooden
sleepers replaced them. added great
ly to the unpleasantness of the jour-
ney."
In Mr. Stevenson's early days the
signalmen were actually men signals.
They We're attired as policemen OF
the period, with dress coats buttoned
up to the throat, white duck trousers
ard top hats. They stood at inter
vals along the line and performed
with their arms, their worried
brains and two flags" all the duties
of the signal posts by which they
were superseded. Sir Robert Peel.
Lord Brougham and Daniel O'Con-
nell often rode on the railway, ac-
cording to the diarist, for the novelty
of the sensation.
