The Usual Line of Promotion for Engine
Drivers.
A Bof* Beginning In a I.ocomotl.eShml— tppolnt-
mont as M e ;:an-Freight Engineer or ‘ Hood.
BrlTer”— Pauenger Fireman Next-Final Posi
tion.
Engine drivers are very little known as a
class, though the duties they discharge are
public and very responsible. The fuet is that
the engine driver, who must not only he
skilled in the technicalities of his business,
but must possess intellectual and moral quali
ties of a high order, has never risen above
the rank of the artisan; nor does he pretend
to rise above it, and yet ho must be almost ns
capable and as dutiful as the captain of a
ship or the commander of a regiment. The
workman, whose cool judgment and unceas
ing watchfulness are more serviceable than
any mere manual skill ho may possess, is
worthy attention.
Engine drivers are neither born nor made;
they grow. You cannot apprentice a boy to
engine driving. Engine driving, however, is
the goal of the ambition of most boys who
begin their working life in a locomotive shed.
Prom being a kind of “devil” to everybody
the boy gradually becomes a Meaner.” Sup
plied with a bundle of cotton waste, he rubs
overtho working parts of the engine, and
thus acquires a knowledge of its construction.
At this work he may ho kept four or five
years. If ho is fit for nothing better he re
mains at it all his life. But if he is steady,
-quick and handy he is sure to attract the no
tice of the foreman, and the foreman occa
sionally calls on him to fire an engine, or
haply to run one out of or into the shed. It
is a proud day for him when ho first steps on
the foot plate of an engine, charged to drive
it a few yards—out into a siding, perhaps, or
up to the train to which it is to he attached.
From this point every thing depends on him
self. By and by he obtains an appointment
-as fireman, most likely on an engine which is
never engaged in hazardous work. Perhaps
it is a pug engine doing yard or station duty,
and never permitted on the muin line or prin
cipal sidings. Here the growing engine
driver learns something of the weight of
trains, of the regular supply of steam, of the
relation between the steam pressure and the
work to be done, of economizing coal and
generally of the management and working of
an engine. Then a vacancy occurs among
the firemen on the regular goods traffic and
“'the most steady and promising young hand
in the shed" is promoted. He now obtains a
knowledge of ^tbe road,” learns to read the
signals, as well as the other nmltitudinons
signs by which the experienced engine driver
feels his way along, and of course becomes
proficient in the art of keeping up the motive
power to the point needed by the driver. He
may even now be working merely on
branch or on a slow goods train; but he is de
cidedly getting on. He fathoms the mys
teries of shunting. Billiard players will un
derstand whnt we mean when say that In
shunting “strength” is everything. The en
gine, like a cue, propels the trucks wit h just
sufficient force, nud no more, to land them at
the desired spot., the engine itself pulling up
as soon os the momentum has been applied
From goods [freight] fireman he is pro
moted to goods driver; an important move.
Ho already knows the road, can read the sig
nals and gauge the weight of a train; but he
has yet to learn how to keep time on a jour
ney, how to regulato the break so as not to
waste power, bow to utilize “straights” aud
descents, how to climb hills and go safely
round curves. Goods trains not being greatly
pressed for time, lie lues a good margin to
work upon, and after a few journeys bis
-difficulties disappear. Not only can be
work bis train in perfect accordance
with the system laid down; not only dots
he learn by henrl the signals, points, gradients
and other features of the road, but he
is able to detect weak spots in tiie permanent
way. In such cases be scribbles a lino on a
piece of paper and throws it out to the first
platelayer he passes. That generally suffices;
but if not, be makes a report to the chief
engineer. He does not know what it is—bal
last shifted, sleeper broken, chair defective,
■or rail giving way; but he feels there is
something wrong, and until it is put right he
passes over the spot witli euqli caution as to
neutralize the danger. Ilis phase as goods
driver is one of tho most important in his
progress.
But ho has not yet done with stoking. His
next step is as passenger flremau. His other
qualities, if he possesses them, are now
-coming into play. It is true he has simply to
maintain the motive power for the service of
the driver, but he is something lietter than
the boy who blows the organ liellows. He is
the driver’s companion and helpmate; he is
probably as competent as the driver himself;
and ho necessarily exercises a moral influ
ence which, if strong, proves invaluable to
both of them in case of emergency. One
might almost compare them to companion
lighthouse keepers. Should au accident
occur, it is the fireman's duty to run forward
with a danger flag, just as it is the rear
guard’s duty to run back and “protect” a fol
lowing train. Then from passenger fireman
he becomes passenger driver. But there is a
great difference in passenger drivers. The
one whose development we have traced is one
of the best. Passing over his stages of em
ployment on branch lines, siow main line
trains, specials and so on, we come to his
final phase ns the driver of the great express
—the Flying Dutchman, Scotchman, or Zulu,
or tho Wild Irishman, as the reader may
choose to suppose.
Whnt is his position now? Well, he is a
man whose efficiency anil character will from
any point of view stand the severest tests.
He is an expert whoso training has been of
the most groduul, minute and thorough de
scription, who has climbed step by step to tile
top of the ladder, where his foothold is now
as firm as if he were standiug on the solid
ground. His wages are (say) ten shillings a
day; his working hours are fifty-six to fifty-
seven u week; ho is exposed to ail sorts oi
weather—very peculiar it is, too, on the fool
plate of a locomotive with your feet scorched
by tbe heat while the bitter east wind freezrs
the moisture on your beard; and be is charged
with the duty of taking (say) 800 passengers
from London to Exeter, or Glasgow, or
Edinburgh, or Holyhead within a certain
time, at an average speed of fifty miles an
hour. From the moment ho starts to tin
moment he arrives ho is under a constant
strain. Not only are tho peculiarities of tie-
road, which he knows from experience, to bo
noticed; but every mile or two there is some
official signal put up for him o read. Level
crossings, [joints, tunnels, bridges, viaducts,
stations, platelayers, gradients, curves all
these he must look out for. Consider tne
operation of climbing and descending a “sum
mit,” or descending and then climbing a
“valley.” At these times the driver’s hand 1 -
never off the lever. In the course of a fev.
miles he will perhaps make fifty impercepUhl.
changes in the speed of the train—accelerate
ing it or diminishing it so steadily that- not a
passenger notices what is being, none. Inal
is the perfection of engine driving, i hut is
the elim'tx of the driver’s skill, and he attains
it coincidental!3' with the full development o.
those qualities which he has unconscious- i ■
trained witlftn himself, and which are u'l
governed bv au overmastering -enso of dut

THE CRYSTAL PALACE THREATENED.
The First of the Great World's Fair
Buildings to bo Torn Down.
Another English landmark is threats
ened. The Crystal palace, long ono of the
most celebrated places of entertainment
about London, at last has proved a finan
cial failure, and is practically In the hands
of a receiver. Unless something is done
to revive its drooping fortunes it will be
torn down, and the land upon which it is
situated will he sold for building lots. Tho
Crystal palace was the first of tho great
world’s fair building!! of a permanent
character. It was opened in 1*5(1 by the
queen and the prince consort. Much of
the success of that exposition was due to
the prince consort, and the building, after
thirty-one years, is full of mementoes of
him.
Constructed of glass and iron, and being
of a noble and striking style of architect
ure, the building itself has always been
the object of admiration to the visitors to
London. Many thousands of persons
who have enjoyed a happy day under its
roof will regret to learn that probably it
Is now to be demolished. For many
years it was tho chief attraction in Lon
don, but groat changes have taken place,
and tho Crystal palace and all its curiosi
ties now belong to a past era. Tho build
ing itself looks quite as well as it d'd
when first erected, but in it and about it
are thousands of evidences of decay and
neglect. Its stuffed animals and birds
look like those of a Bowery museum, and
Its plaster casts of famous statuary are
covered with dust and look cheap and
melancholy. Bright colors that once
adorned rooms illustrating different styles
of architecture have faded, and fountains
that once played in the mimic courts of
the Spanish Alhambra have uried up.
Even the ballets that are given there, aud
the dog shows, bird shows and other noisy
and animated entertainments, cannot drive
away the shadows that fall from the
splendid pageants of years long gone by.
It is remarkable that both the Crystal
palace and Albert palace, two famous es
tablishments organized by the prince con
sort, should have come to financial disaster
in the queen’s jubilee year. True, from
the wreck of these, in ono sense, is to
spring up a new and splendid imperial
institute, but, to the queen herself, this
cannot be but a sorrowful substitute for
the two institutions which she must for
ever associate with the memory of her
husband when he was at the height of his
popularity among the English people.—
Cor. New York World.
Night Work and Day Libor.
I think the judgments formed at night
are never so solid and fresh as judgments
formed in the morning. If in the morn
ing a man is without charity, if he is de
spondent, if he is dull, if he Is unnerved,
you may be sure that he is living wrong.
For the order of nature Is that a man
should rise from his bed in the morning
as birds rise, singing, and in perfect
health. A man rises buoyant, and has
his best hours in the eurly day. For al
though, perhaps, the fancy may not he so
brilliant in the early day the judgment is
better. The conclusions and determina
tions which a man forms In the early
day are apt to bo sounder and safer than
those which he forms at night. Fancy
for the night, judgment for the day.
And I would sny to every young person
whom it concerns, form, if it is a possible
thing, the habit of doing your study in
the day time, and reserve your nights for
lighter tasks, and keep early hours with
your bed. You do not profit (I do not
care who your exemplar is) by departing
from the great .influences and laws of
nature. Tlioro is many and many a man
that wears out prematurely because,
without one single unvlrtuous or vicious
habit, he grinds his life out by night
work.—Henry Ward Beecher.

The Fiction Writer's Limitations.
In the February issue of Tho Forum
Prof. Boyesen has pointed out truthfully
the limitations put u[>on the American
novelist by magazine editors uHd young
women readers, on whom he has to depend
for his chief support. The fiction writer
“must not expose a social or religious
sham, because there are hundreds if not
thousands of subscribers who believe in
this sham and would stop the magazine if
It were attacked. If he takes up a partic
ular phase of life lie must steer carefully,
so as to step on nobody’s toes, anil if he
lias extreme beliefs and convictions, take
good care to keep them in proper re
straint.’’ At the same time, Professor
Boyesen goes too fur in assuming that
there is no considerable audience of novel
readers in this country outside of the
“young girl'' public. The contrary is
proved by an immense sale here of English
novels or translations from the French
and German, which present t e boldest
treatment of serious social or moral
problems.—The Epoch.
A Queer Sensation.
I can pretty truly say 1 was struck by
lightning, and the sensation is a peculiar
one. Two years ago 1 was standing on a
fifteen foot ladder adjusting the lower
carbon of the electric light, when the cur
rent caught me. and down I came to tho
ground on my heud. I carry a large scar
to this day as a reminder. But then I
did not know what happened me. I was
practically dead, as far as consciousness is
concerned, for nine days, at the end of
which time 1 uwofce in the hospital. Dur
ing that time they tell me 1 had liecn vio
lent, but I know absolutely nothing of
what occurred. When I awoke I gave a
scream. T had been tied down with five
straps, but I broke three of them and
flung the bed against the door. After
that I was two months laid up. My
troubles were principally shooting pains
through the loins, sometimes through tho
back. I have recovered and suffered no
evil consequences, except that I am not
able to do »iay work, the sun affecting me
as it would one who had received a sun
stroke. —Globe-Democrat Interview.
Lightning ami the Cnenanilt.
Sir Emerson Tennent long ago called
attention to the power of the cocoauut
palm to conduct lightning, and the subject
is again called up by a Ceylon paper. Five
hundred of these trees were struck on a
single plantation during a succession of
thunder storms in April, 1 Stiff. But the
trees suffer terribly from the effects, for,
however slightly they may be touched,
they are sure to die. Even if only the
edges of the leaves are singed, or only a
few of them turned brown, the tree will
in the end wither gradually and perish —
Chicago Times.
Effect of Abundant Food.
As showing the effect of abundant food,
a late writer says that in France tbe
population is annually increasing ut the
rate of 2!) in every 10.000, allhough there
arc fewer marriages, aud fewer births than
formerly. The fact is, people in that
country now live longer than they used to,
because the supply of food from home and
from this and other countries is fourfold
what it was fifty years ago.—Brooklyn

How a Young Shorthand Reporter Got
Ahead of the Judge Advocate.
“All this talk about speed,” said a short*
hand writer, “reminds me of a little expert*
enc * that I had away back in 1806. I waf
then located in Now York, and was a inert
lad and comparatively new iu the business*
I hail never been in a court room and knetv
absolutely nothing about the form of trials. L
could write shorthand, however. There was
a big murder trial going on in North Caro
lina, and they sent to New York in hot hast*
for a stenographer. I happened to l>e tha
only one at the time available, and Graham
sent me down.
“I shall never forget that experience.
About the first man l came in contact with
was the judge advocate. lie was as gruff
and sarcastic us a cross cut saw half a mile
from an oil can. He looked me over in a
sneering way that 1 shall never forget, and
seemed to bo sadly disappointed over the fuel
that there was not more of me.
•The man whose shoes you have l>een sent
fill could writ© 2tH) words a minute,’ ha
said gruffly. ’How many can you writer
M don’t know exactly, sir,’ I stammered.
Well, I’ll drop into your room in tha
morning Indore court opens and put you
through your paces,’ he said sarcastically.
When I got t<> my room 1 was about th%
worst frightened boy you ever saw. This
was a nice sort of man for one who knew
nothing whatever about courts to encounter.
About the first tiling I saw when I entered
my room was an old volume of Webster’*
speeches. An idea at once struck me. E
picked out one of these and practiced on it
most ill night. The consequence was that 1
had committed ir, to memory and had it right
at my finger ends. AU that remained was to
devise some scheme to got the judge advocate
to select that particular speech for the text.
Bright and early the next morning he came
into my room.
“ ‘Have you got anything here that l can
read to you fromf he asked.
“ ‘I don’t know,’ I replied, as carelessly a&
possible. 'Let’s see. Ah, here’s a book whieb
seems to belong to the room. It’s Webster’s
speeches. Mobile this might do.*
*‘I opened it carelessly at the jiarticular
speech which I hud practiced upon and
handed it to him. He examined it carefully,
and all the time my heart was in my mouth.
1 was afraid he would turn the Tpages and
pick out some other speech. But he didn’t.
** *1 should think this would do,’ he said,
and proceeded to count off 200 words.
“Well, at it wo 'went, and when the 200
were written I still had fifteen seconds of tha
minute to spare. He timed ine with one of
those old stop watches, and I can see it yet.
'“Hum!’ he said, ‘I guess you’ll do,’ and
after that he seemed to think I was more of a
man than I looked.”—Chicago Times.
Ca<ln and Cowboys In London.
The cowboys in Buffalo Bill’s camp object
to the manner in which the visiting crowd
beguile an hour or two by forming groupa
around the doors of the tents and studying
the inner lives of tho occupants. Many of
the cowboys are married and have their
wives and children living with them in camp,
and they do not much enjoy having the path
outside their homes besieged by a staring
mob, who, perhaps, under the impression
that tho English language is not spoken in
Texas, make the loudest anil freest comments
on the fittings and tho inhabitants of the
tent. The cowboys in general are very good
tempered and civil. Lately one of them of
fered mild remonstrance to a thoroughly
typical cad, who was making his female com
panion very merry with his comments as
they stood in tho middle of a little mob of
starers.
“Why do you stand there all the time and
stare and jeer like that?” the cowboy asked.
•‘Nttrely you ought to liavo more sense.”
“Daresay you Yankees have come over tQ
teach us sense,” was tho cad’s smart reply.
Tho cowboy looked at him calmly and said:
“If you w-re a foot or so nearer to my size I
guess i would try to knock some sense into
you;” and then tho young Texan giant turned
and stalked back into tbe ro’esses of his tent,
murmuring to some friends who were there:
“If I stayed any longer where I could sea
these folks 1 might lose my temper.”—London
News.
Cure of tho Opium Habit.
Varied factors affect the cure. Much de-
pends upon individual constitution and en
vironment. Recurrence of the original dis
ease must be carefully watched lest it bo mada
tho pretext for an occasional taking, which
will incur large risk of confirmed re-use.
Alcoholic taking greatly lessons the prospect
of permanent recovery. Tho ex-opium
habitue must, if he values his future good,
eutiroly abstain from alcohol.
The heroic plan of abrupt, complete disuse
deserves t he severest condemnation. No phy
sician is warranted, save under circumstances
peculiar and beyond control, in subjecting his
patient to the torturing ordeal of such with
drawal. This plan has the suuction of men
otherwise eminent in the profession, but I
venture to suggest, witli no lack of respect to
them, that like a somewhat famous nautical
individual, “they mean well, but they dou’t
know.”
Theory is one thing, practice {mother, and
I am quite certain were they compelled to
undergo the trial there would be u rapid and
radical chungo of opinion. I regard the plan
as cruel and barbarous—utterly unworthy s
healing art.—J. B. Mutlison, M. D., in Tho
