New Zealand Railroads. New Zealand's steam ralhvnjs arc owned and opeiatcd by the govern ment. Computed with American rall wajs, they seem like toy railroads and the man "plajing train" The locomo tive is queer and small. Tho engine dilei blows two loud blasts of tho locomotive's whistle befeoio staiting, much like a. steamei. A laige hand bell at the stations Is loudly rung piior to tho shrieks of the locomotivt's whistle. The ruard (conduttoi) walks tip and down the platform and sajs: "Take our seats oveivbody take seats," Instead of '.ill aboaid," after which he blows a pocket whistle sig nal, like soin t'nlted States tiollny oar ronductot.s, and tho ti.iln staits, hut dues not go muih faster than a horse's slow pace, except down guide. The ttaln stops in the bush, and you think an axle Is broken or something Is wrong, piobably a "hold-up," which the call "stiuk-up," but no, the -top 3s merely to kt tho guard apply the biake. Why do they want the broken applied after stopping' Well, ou see, there Is nhead of us a slight down grade, not eiy much, but enough to lequiie brakes, and the solltaiy guard tould not apply all the btakes quick enough so they wait ten minutes for him to do so It is almost like stop ping an ox team In pioneer days. Air brakes are unknown, and the locomo tive has no bell, but must aluujs whistle. The railway canlages have a plain, pquare, Hat board seat against the sides of the coach lengthwise. Some have a leather cushion to sit upon. A few late coaches have six to eight nairow ie erslble seats. A solltaiy step, high tip, made of one piece of boaid, nlds the passenger to cntei. The windows nre small and nnr the loof. Higgage checking Is unknow n. You paste a label on vour baggage, they gathei It up and take It, but ou must ce that they Vut It off at your destination and must claim it In the general scramble before Eomo one helps himself to it. hatters posted In a mall car must pay from 4 to 12 cents extia, according to their destination. No ttalns run at tilght or on Sunday. Live stock can not travel on Monday ot l'llday. Tho cars for horses and cattle nro called carts, other freight cats are termed wagons They are built like packing cases, and have no opening except the missing toof, the door clo-lng tightly. They are scaicely one-fourth tho slz of American cars. There nie no trolley cais In all of New Zealand, notwithstanding a popu l.itlon of fio.OOO in Auckland and other towns almost as laige They nie busses chleilj, and a few hoiso enrs called "trams." On race dajs and other events the busses quit their icgulur routes and cairy people from the center of tho town to the races and event", leaving the residential section without service. Review of the Coal Business. Ttevlow lug the coal business for the week th Coal Tiade Journal savs. "Tho hard coal trade continues In good condition, and theie is not one of the produiers but who believes In a big business foi this Inteiost In tho last halt of this year.

In 1601, a passed mid shipman, ho wus on the Hmtfoid with Fariagut, and tbero won tho friend ship of tho great Admiral by a feat of courago that was as necessary us it was daring. It was a fine April morn ing In 1862 when Farragut's fleet ran by Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi river fifty-two miles below New Orleans. The ships of Farragut's fleet vvero all of wood, and Gen. Dun can, commanding the forts, nnd his second, Col. lllgglns, thought that Far rngut and his licet had been delivered Into their hands, as they behold tho ships coming up, formed in two lines, the Hartford being easily distinguished as the flagship by Its broad blue Ad miral's pennant. The forts were ad mirably arranged for effective gun nel y, having barbette battery of 64's nnd quick guns that swept the river for miles. Had not Farragut directed his fleet to run Inshore and under the gun fire, not a ship might ever have got nvvay. Tho forts are situated on the two banks of the river. As tho Hartford passed Fort St. Philip a shower of giapo from one of the big guns toie tho foremast Into match wood and seilously disabled the sail power of the ship. It was necessary to take In some sails and set others, but the blocks had Jammed nnd the Ilm tf old was In danger of swinging about and tunning aground. The flro of grape aloft was so ..ot that the command, "Go aloft and clear blocks and tackle on main yard," was not obeyed with that piomptness that fol lows an order given by the commander of a man-of-vvnr. Hut the hesitation was momentary. "Como on, you fellows!" yelled u joung voice, nnd up the latllncs to the dlablcd rigging went a midshipman, followed by the watch. Kunnlng out lightly to the end ot the .vntd, nnd standing sixty feel from the deck with the grnpe clipping ropes and fearing great slivers of wood from m.ist nnd spar young Wntson gave tho neccsary orders as calmly as It he was at a practice drill When everything was taut and In working order, and following the "jackles" down, Watson snluti'd the admiral and reported: "All clear sir," gr'm old Farragut simply seized the boy in his aims, and how the crew cheeied' "Had wc ever got aground there tho Confederate puns would have destroy ed us In five minutes," said Fleet Cap tain Perclvil Drayton of the West Gulf squadron ns he told the story to Captain, afterwaul Hear Admlril, Hry son. "oung Watson's ready appreci ation of the danger and piompt action saved the Haitfoid, In my opinion, and Fnmgut thought so, teo" From that hour Watson's fottune was made. He became naval aide-de-camp to the admiral of the navy nnd was In all the subsequent sea fights along the South Atlintlc seaboaid and at Vlcksburg.Uodney and Ground Gulf, after that off Charleston, " Who Gives to All "Denies Alt."
