OS ElEMfiKCY' TRAINS.
THAT'S WHEN THE IRON HORSE
PERFORMS WONDERFUL FEATS.
Anybody with Money Enough Can HaTO a
Special "When, the Occaaion Warrants
rvcrythins Must Give Way to the Fly
ers on the -Railroid.
Half a century ago the man who was in n.
hurrv to go to "Washington or New York had
to content himself with a slow going stage
coach that jogged him over tho road at a pace
that would exasperate a business man of to
day to the vergo of iubanit-. Nowadays,
however, a maa can whirl away to either
city in a wheeled palace at a speed and with a
degree of comfort at a costr that never en
tered the most fanciful dreams of travelers
fifty years ago. And" if .anybody is in too
much of a hurry to wait a few hours for a
regular train it is an easy matter to procure
a special train and be dragged away at a hair
lif ting rate of speed.
Special trains a few years ago were a lux
ury to bo enjoyed only by railroad officials
in cases of emergency or by parties who cared
to pay extra faro and made their arrange
ments with the railroad company some days
in advance. "With the development of rail
roadiuc science even themost crowded rail
way is now able to send out a special on a
few moments' warning. And these trains
aro usually within the reach of any man who
does not hesitato over a hundred or two hun
dred dollars, so that it is only a matter of
money that stands between a man and the
fulfillment of tho most pressing engagement.
Tho result most desired and secured by a
special train is the avoidance of delaj- through
loss of conuection at junction points. To the
man who has need for a special train it is not
so essential that he should outstrip the time
of a fast express as that ho should be able to
start at once without waiting an hour or two
for the next regularly scheduled train. Most
of the emergency trains arc run on this basis,
and their value is usually based upon their
ability to start upon a few moments' notice.
READY IS SIX MINUTES.
An illustration of this character is fur
nished by a well known Philadelphia lawj-er
who had occasion to visit Lancaster upon
letral business of creat imnortanco. He mado
an effort to catch the Pennsylvania railroad
train leaving Broad street station at 2:40 p.
in., but missed it by a few minutes. The
next train did not leave until 4:40, and would
not bring him into Lancaster until 7:43
o'clock, which uould be too lato for tho
transaction of his business on that day. It
was a cose of urgent necessity, and important
interests were staked upon his arrival in Lan
caster, so he applied for a special train. In
six minutes from tho time that he mado his
application a car and a locomotive were at
his disposal, ho willingly paid the $73 that
was asked, and was whirled away to Lancas
ter in time to fulfill his engagement.
"When Gen. Sheridan lay in "Washington
suffering with hh last illness Dr. "William
Pepper made frequent visits to his bedside,
and usually traveled by special train over
tho Pennsylvania railroad. Most of his trips
were taken at night, when tho tracks were
comparatively clear of passenger trains, and
ho generally gave amnio notice to the railroad
people. On one occasion he sent a messenger
to Broad Street station to ask upon how short
notice he could have a train if he should want
it later that night, and the messenger had
hardly left tho station with the reply that
twenty minutes would bo ample notice, when
Dr. Pepper himself appeared in the station
and said that he desired to start immediately.
The crew that had been kept waiting his in
structions had just been sent homo, but an
other was quickly found, and thirteen min
utes later Dr. Pepper was whizzing away
toward "Washington.
One of tho best examples of quick work
that has been done in this lino was furnished
by the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
when a member of the banking firm of
Thomas A. Piddle & Co. made use of a spe
cial train to deliver several hundred shares
of stock of tho "Western National bank of
New York in that city. It was necessary,
in order to make good the sale of tho stock,
to get it to Now York in a hurry, and, on
twenty minutes' notice, the Reading Rail
road company furnished a car and engino
for tho purpose. The fif ty-fiva miles between
Wayne Junction and Bound Brook were cov
ered in fifty-three minutes, and the run from
Ninth and Green streets to Jersey City, a
distance of ninety miles, was mado in 101
minutes.
TIinEADISG THE CROWDED TRACKS.
While the celerity with which special traius
aro mado ready in case of emergency may
strike uninitiated persons as something of an
achievement, tho start is really an insignifi
cant element in this kind of railroading. The
most remarkablo feature is tho manner in
which a special and unscheduled train is sent
out on a few moments' notico over a railway
system crowded with-moving trains. Before
u special train can bo dispatched every signal
station and operator along the line must ha
notified of the coming train, tho number of
its locomotive and tho time upon which it is
running. Ever' train in thopath of the spe
cial must be notified at tho first station it
reaches that thero is a special train on the
way, and if it is an urgent case every regular
train must keep out of the way.
All of this is accomplished by the free use
of tho telegraph, and it takes but a few mo
ments to inform every signal operator, sta
tion agent aud nil tho trains concerned that a
special is coming. Every passenger or freight
train in the path of the special must keep out
of the way of the coming train, and leave
ample time and distance to prevent all possi
bility of accident or delay to the special. On
a two track line, where freight and passenger
trains use tho same track, the freight trains
are usually ordered to pull off at tho first
siding and leave the track clear for tho
special, and tho regular passenger traius
must keep sharp watch of tho approach of
the special, and take a sidmg in ample timo
to allow it to pass. At each station tho con
ductors of the regular trains learn of the po
sition of the special behind them, and govern
themselves accordingly.
Tho co:.t of a special train sent out on short
notice varies greatly according to Uie distance
that is to ba run and tho character of tho
emergency. "When the service rendered is
essentially of a public character, as was the
case with tho trains that convej'ed medical
attendance to Gen. Sheridan, President Gar
field aud in numberless similar instances, tho
railroads rarely make any charge. For
purely personal and private business purposes
the charges vary greatly, aad there is no
fixed schedule. Iu tho absence of any special
considerations a train for New York or Wash
ington from this city would cost anywhere
from $73 to ?2o0. Philadelphia Record.
THE CLEARING HOUSE.
An Institution Without Which Xcvr York's
Hanks Could XotDo Ku-s'.uos.
A concern which has a most important
function rjuoag New York banks, and with
out which it would 03 impossible for them to
transact tho busiuess which has reached such
volume in the last few years, is "Uie clearing
house.
The word explains itself. It is a place
where baaks clear, that is, where a bank "ex
changes"' the checks paid by it belonging to
other banks for its own checks paid by them.
Naturally, after this has been done, this bank
remains in tho debt of the other banks for
the difference in the amount of the exchanges,
or vice versa. The clearing house is simply
a verj great convenience. Tho laaks all
meet there and transact business in one hour
which, if they had to send mejenger to
each other to do, wotild take tLvni all day,
if iudco.1 they could do it at all. This plan
was all right years ago whon the number of
baaks was small .and the business light, but
ia the preseut stale of affairs it would be
practically imposnble.
Tht ri oaring, bous) is aunncrtcd bv tub.
scription, each" banlf paying so muenror tne
privilege of its use. Quite a revenue is also
derived from fines imposed upon banks for
tardiness, making mistakes, etc. Some bank3
in the city do not clear directly, but through
other banks. This is especially the case with
Brooklyn and Jersey City banks.
About seventy-five banks clear directly
through the clearing house. Each bank has
a desk of its own, and is represented by two
and sometimes three clerks; one to settle,
one to deliver, and the third, when there is a
third, to sign the sheets. Usually the settling
clerk does this, except in the cases of very
large banks. The delivery clerk of each bank
brings the checks of the other banks to tho
clearing house, each bank's checks in a sep
arate envelope, with a slip pinned to it, on
which are written tho various amounts to
gether with tho total. These totals are then
all set down on two sheets of paper, one of
which the delivery clerk takes, while the
other goes to tho settling clerk.
All banks are obliged to be at the clearing
house and in their places at 10 a. m., under
npnnlfrr of a fine. At 10 shan) a cone rills'.
aud the delivery clerks start on their rounds
delivering envelopes to the settling clerics of
the respectivo banlis, who, in turn, takedown
tho amount and sign their names opposite tho
amount with which their bank is charged.
This operation generally consumes about eight
minutes. The delivery clerk's work is now
finished; he gathers up the envelopes left at
his desk by the other banks, and departs on
his way rejoicing. Not go with tho settling
clerk, however.
When tho exchanges have all been made
he adds up tho amounts charged to him by
the other banks aud makes out a slip with
tho amount of the exchanges paid out, the
amount received, and the difference between
.the two. This slip ha3 to bo mado up and
handed in to the dark of tho clearing house
by 10:45, or another fine is imposed, aud if any
mistake is mado endless fines follow. When
all the slips aro handed in, a balance is struck
by the accountants employed by the clearing
house. If thero is a difference of a cent
everybody is obliged to remain until the error
is found. When the proof is mado the fact
is announced from tho gallery, where Mnn
ager Camp and his assistants preside; tho
debits and credits of the various banks are
read, and tho morning's work is over. The
work is so quickly done nnd so perfectly sys
tematized that as a rule 11:15 sees the room
deserted.
Tho rierks of somo banks aro fined almost
every day, while others go for a year with
out a fine. Tho chiof things necessary for a
settling clerk to possess are a clear head and
a quick hand. If a settling clerk goes for six
months without receiving a fine his name is
entered on a book, and should he ever be out
of a position Manager Camp will testify to
his accuracy.
The banks assemble in the clearing house
again in tho afternoon for tho purpose of re
ceiving their credit or paying their debit, a3
tho case may be. Sometimes it is but a few
dollars and sometimes the amount runs up
into tho millions.
The oldest settling clerk among tho banks
is the man who settles for tho Pacific bank.
Ho is nearly SO years old, but rarely misses
a day, and performs his work with an ac
curacy and speed which puts many of his
vounger contemporaries to shnme. New

About the Care of Lamps.
Don't "put up'' with a wretchedly poor
light, even if you use lamps; and don't keep
them within reach of the children.
For tho obtaining of the fy-st, Set S00&
burners, oven if you have cheap lamps. For
the second, fasten all lamps in brackets as far
as possible above tho little ones' heads.
Chandeliers can bo had in beautiful designs
for lamps as well as gas, and at just as wide a
range of prices.
All lamps should be filled in the daytime
and at a regular hour. They must not bo too
full: they must bo very carefully wiped off.
Tho globes and chimneys should be kept clean
and clear. Tho wicks are best trimmed by
simply rubbing off tho charred surface.
The light is often affected by tho holes in
tho burner becoming clogged. This can be
remedied by boiling the burners in a strong so
lution of washing soda. Good Housekeeping.

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
A very small bird of South Africa is the
Tilahali weaver, but it lives in a very large
housa shapod liko an oil flask, which it builds
itself.
No animal can see in tho dark. Some have
eyes extremely sensitive to light of low in
tensity. Such can see in places which we pio
nounco dark, but thero must ba somo light

The tailor bird makes its nest of long leaves,
which it sows together with the fiber of a
plant, first piercing tho holes in them with its

layer of cotton.
A dudish bird that lines its nest with the
down of certain flowers is the lanceolate
honey eater. The nest it shaped liko a ham

POSTAGE STAMP LORE.
Tho stamps of France aro tho most compli
cated and inimitable of all stamps in use.
The Rothschilds have a collection of post
age stamps valued at a quarter of a million
francs.
Postage stamps were permanently intro
duced into France in 1843, having been issued
by tho republicans.
In the Berlin museum there aro 4,o00 speci
mens, so it is said, of which 2,400 aro Euro
pean and 1,147 from America.
There are over 130 postage stamp sellers in
Paris, which shows what a rago Frenchmen
have for collections of this kind.
The French navy department in Paris has
amassed, not merely a huge album, but a
gigantic library of such precious trifles. It
is the largest collection iu the world.
There is a "lost pleiad," so to speak, in the
shape of a pestago stamp issued by tho gov
ernment of British Guiana in 18o0, which
now commands, at public auction, about
$230.
A postage stamp exchange and mart was
opened in Vienna in 1S37. It holds its assizes
in a large seven windowed room, has its
regular organization officers and even an
organ.
Thero exists in Paris a regular market or
exchange for old stamps. It is held every
Sunday nfternoon in the Avenua Gabriel,
Champs Elysees, and is attended by somo
fifty or sixty persons of all ages and social
