Mrs. i Manes last year called attention to the aC thatdomestic service was not likely to be popular among negro girls so long as it was looked down upon by the more. &Intelligent of the colored race. Attention Wile called to the fact that a movement was foot to regulate the intelligence offices New York city, where fraud has been 1 aattired upon colored girls coming from 0 south.

It seems quite clear from the discussions of the conference that unless the colored ra pee turn their thoughts to preparing mselves for domestic service they will e their opportunities to earn s living in t way. Tho feeling of Japanese youth :tit regard to domestic service is entirely dif- erent from that of negro youth. They 0alize the great opportunity which life in e. good family gives to gain a knowledge of e habits and manners of men and women of the highest type of culture, • The writer was dining not long since in a eaoltured home where he found two young kapauese aching as servants. When he uostioned his host he found that one of ani was a near relative of a former Jap- p:se Minister at Washiuh on, and that he de a most excellent servant, considering no form of service as too menial.

FEWER T.I•IAN NEEDED, Airbrakes, Block System, and Return to Normal Traffic. Extraordinary .retrenchment on railroads commenced a few months ago, and contin- ues. Annual reports for the fiscal year ending June 30th show no material reduction in gross earnings, but net earnings are not pro- portionately satisfactory. Traffic officials Insist that prospects are bright for business during the coming fall and winter. Why does retrenchment on railways con- tinue?" was asked one of the division super- intendents here. Ile replied: "You must go back thirty years for one cause. At that time a certain element that loves to have a mission clamored for bet- ter for brakemen. Some of the clergy preaoed about it from their pulpits, Tho result is compulsory use of ai•brakes and a rapidly lessening need for brakemen. Another cause for retrenchment is the rapid extension of the block system. With the main line completely equipped with blocks any road can operate trains with smaller crews, for the danger of collisions is reduced to a minimum. "Another cause for retrenchment is the de- velopment of system in the clerical depart- ment. Work is simplified and lessened and fewer employees are required. "Another cause for retrenchment is the change from abnormal to normal conditions in traffic. Each division superintendent is instructed to make expenses proportionate to earningee When he has to reduce expenses he lessens the number of employees wher- ever they can be got along without. It is no longer good policy to attempt to reduce pay rather than dismiss employees. Such re- trenchment effects shopmen, yardmen, etc. "About six months ago was the beginning of abnormal traffic. All the business of the country was pushed to the greatest possible extent. That extraordinary business could not be kept up. There is necesarily a limit to business energy in any country. Condi- tions are back to normal. There is less traf- fic and consequently fewer employees are required on the, railroads." Worry wont cure a cough.

B. EDDY COMPANY, - HAIL, CANADA •1 Railway Travel in 1830. In 1830, when the railway was opened between Liverpool and Manchester, the Liverpool terminus was at Wapping. Lime street tunnel was not completed until about six years later. At first the service consisted of three trains each way on week days and two on Sundays, but this .was soon found to be insufficient. After Lime street sta- tion was opened there were six first- class trains and six second-class trains each way on week days and two of each description on Sundays. The journey of thirty-one miles occupied nearly two hours, which led to complaints that the speed was too great to be pleasant and caused dizziness. On the other hand, sanguine expectations were indulged in that in course of time the average rate of traveling would be at least double the ordinary speed of the swiftest convey- ances drawn liy horses. It was antici- pated that the general adoption of rail- ways *would lead to "a vast decrease in the consumption of oats and hay by the substitution of steam engines in Iieu of horses, and that portion of the soil which has hitherto been allotted to the growth of such produce may be appropriated to the raising of food suitable for human species"—an important consideration in the time of the Corn laws. It could not have been foreseen that the railway sys- tem, so far from superseding horses, would lead to an immense increase in the demand for them.—Liverpool Post. Minard's Liniment for sale everywhere; CREATING A DEMAND, An unknown breakfast food was in troduced to the public through the newspapers. The first effort was a page advertisement in each of the leading Sunday newspapers for four successive Sundays, at a cost of $25,000. After that nearly 1,000 daily newspapers were used regularly. A demand had to be created, and the newspaper advertising did it.

It is a fact now generally known that Andrew Carnegie has the organ played every morning in his fifth avenue man- sion when he is in town. This practice of the ironmaster has given his servants the impression that their master is a churchgoing Christian; more especially as he insists on his help,—who, by the way, are all Scotch, —going to church every Sunday. This belief of the Carnegie servants gave a newspaper man a great deal of work and led to his being rebuked by Mr. Carl Schurz, neighbor of Mr. Carnegie, recently. The library giver had been re- ported as saying that he had ceased to pray twenty years ago, and the scribe was sent out to ascertain Mr. Carnegie's religious proclivities if possible. Mr. Car- negie himself was away. "Sure he goes to church," said the man who answered the reporter's ring. "He's a brow releegious man, he is, and will have nae one aroond him who isn't a guid Chreestian." First Direction Impossible. The old man sat alone in his cabin, where the hand of woman had never been known and dirt reigned triumphant. The conver- sation turned upon cooking. "Yeas," drawled the old man, "I got me one o' them there cookbooks wunst, but I never could do nothin' with it." "What was the trouble?" asked his visitor persuasively. "Why, every one o' them blamed receipts starts off with 'take a clean dish.'

An army doctor noticed that when a :wounded soldier was taken ;:to within an easy hearing distance of music hemorrhage was greatly reduc- ed or stoped. Neither he nor others who confirmed his observations could under- stand how this phenomenon was brought about, but it is now believed that the vi- bration of the air produced by music causes the patient to become faint, in which case the action of the heart is so oonarderably lessened that the flow of blood is reduced.
