Greatest Song Writers.

The immortal quartet of song writ
ers are Goethe. Heine. Burns and
BeraDger. OF the four Burns is by far
the most popular. Goethe was at
heart an "Olympian" and in all things
a critic; Heine was in his deepest sOnl
a pessimist and cynic; Beranger. while
much more human. was a little bit
too critical, while Burns, democratic
to the core and Of immense sympathy,
threw himself into the common human
life Of the world with a whole heart
and wrote the songs that will live and
be loved while humanity endures.-

A System That einnpllHss Mattere For
the Railroad Men.


the Railroad Men.
Like most other mysteries, that OF
handling the thousands OF pieces Of
luggage that come to great railroad
station has a simple solution. 1t seems
to the layman that there must be con-
fusion when incoming trains dump
hundreds Of trunks and hand bags intu
the baggage rooms for distribution TO
oil quarters OF the city. System. which
has come to play an Important pUrt In
all business nowadays. has made bag
gage handling a rather simple matter
for the railroads. 1t is the use of u key
number that does the trick.
Travellers have noticed that their
check numbers run into six figures. II
they pay attention to the figures on
their checks at alt II Is the third OF
these units. counting back from the
final number, that Is the key to the
whole system of distribution. The ex-
pressman who handles the baggage for
its home distribution hands In to the
baggage agent his mass Of collected
checks. all sorted on that basis. and
the baggage handlers hustle the stuff
out with very little delay.
Suppose he has only a few checks
from an incoming local train. They
may read 3S4741, 3S420l. 3S4599. 1884,
7S5. 3S4s12. 3s44s7, 3s4622. 3s4256 Ss4-
T39. 3S474T. 3S4056 and 3S4123.l In each
case the first three figures are Identical
-3S4. The first variation begins with
the fourth, or hundreds. unit BY
means of this unit be separates his
checks--all the rs in one bunch, all the
SIS in another, and so on.
In the baggage room the trunks and
bugs are distributed as soon as receiv-
ed in ten apartments, each bearing a
unit number, from to 8. That num-
ber invariably represents the hundreds
unit of the claimants check. The
trunk with a 3S4543 check would go to
the same compartment as one number
ed 3s5543 or 3S3543 or 12543 or 9S7543,
The figure 8 is the key figure. with the
result that there is never any confu-
sion or trouble In locating the baggage
desired 1t would be In the compart-
ment numbered 8.
This simple plan solves the mystery
as to the prompt location of piece OF
hand baggage when passenger rolls
up to the baggage room door in taxi
to get the piece of luggage he has had
checked and has to wait but a moment
to obtain 1t. 1t is very simple soiu'
ton of the trouble that few years age
annovad all fra vol n',ys who had tO Vvaii
for baggage to be transferred from one
terminal to another In their own con
veyances.--New York Sun.
