W sails there has been no ureal fall ing off In general business, still tho volume of trade Is below normal and tll business concerns are more or less embarrassr d by the increased cost of doing business. This Is Illustrated bv the number of Industrials which hav. oftST) made poor reports, and in the case of the railroads it is strikinglv diiliasi.ed by unsatisfactory net re turns. Dividends on the latter baVS bean maintained by economies ton rigid to be continued unless equip incut and plunt are to jpg seriouslv Im paired. So far as railroad rmplove. a a w hole air- i oncerm d, they would seem to have little cause for com plaint. Statements based upon Inter ItaAS i i.mmissiou reports have Just been issued showing- that railroad em--doves receives Jll.oon.uoo more ir wages than a vear ngo. anil this in pMs of a decrease of over N.H in the BUmbet employed. TfeS total wages paid the last llscal year to railroad em pksSg was 1.0tj,oo0,0oo, trut the in-; revenue of the railroads fell oft dur ing the siitne period over ftl,w,000.

Curious Devices Used to Land Them Safely In Jad. Scarcely n day passes without a pic ture appearing in the French press of a prisoner being led off to the station by n policeman and the description, "the Apache being- taken awav hand cuffed by tho agents." As a matter of fact, handcuffs are altogether out of date lu France and arc never used Instead of the bracelets every po liceman carries a "cabriolet," which is a very rough nud massively made ar ticle resembling huge watch chain some ten Inches long with n stout wooden crossbar at either end. An expert can Blip this over the wrist of an offender in n twinkling and with both the crossbars in bis hand has only to give it a twist to inflict tbe most excruciating pain and compel in stant and lamblike submission. Another common method of prevent ing escape Is to make the prisoner place both his hands In his side trouser pockets and then pass n string around his wrists and around bis waist and bid blm march. Ho can walk at a very smart pace, but any attempt to run out of a .shambling trot immedi ately brings him down, nose to the pavement. If no string is handy all the brace buttons of the trousers are cut off nnd tbe culprit is made again to put his bunds In his pockets. As in the for mer case, he can only walk, since so soon as he frees bis bands his nether garments fall about bis legs and he is "outrave." Asj of these devices are apparent to tbe casual passerby, who often won ders at tbe passive docility with which somo villainous looking individual un der arrest follows bis captor to the station. Sometimes on n country road one may meet u couple of getHl;' nm -on foot or on horseback, leading a prisoner between them. This is in obedience to a quaint reg illation whereby prisoners are nevef sent by train from place to place, as there are no funds set apart for rail wuy fares.

"One thing I learned during a recent visit to Europe was that tbe average life of a stone building is not more than 700 years," said a builder. "Naturally I was interested In construction work and gave more attention to this part of Europe than I did to tbe examina tion of nrt galleries and the tombs of famous men. Tbe buildings of Europe are no better In their construction than those of this country. I don't think I saw a building in Europe that Is bet ter built than the capitol in Washitg ton.
