"When the question of introducing
street-cars in India first came up, nearly
twenty year ago," said John Stephenson,
the famous car-builder, "one of the great
est obstacles to be considered was casta
It was eitsy to devise a method of separat
ing, within reasonable limits, the various
classes, for the cars could be made with
two interior compartments, and with
seats on top for passengers of inferior
classes. But how to collect the fares was
the question tliat puzzled everybody. A
Brahmin conductor could not receive coins
from the hands of his inferiors, nor could
o Brahmin passenger receive change from
a conductor of lower caste. There were
many other regulations growing out of
caste distinctions which threatened to
make street-curs a failure in the cities of
India. But the curs were sent out, and
matters were left largely to adjust them
selves. The result is thut instead of c:iste
making the, street cars a failure, the street
cars have made caste to a considerable ex
tent a failure. They are now u ilized in
the principal cities of India very much its
they are in New York.
"Besides doing away with caste ob
staclve to their success, the street -cars
have removed many of the restrictions
which caste put upon the transaction of
business geuerully in that country. 1 aui
told thHt they have produced a very
noticeablo change in this respect that
they may be regarded, indeed, as among
the chief instruments with which the
changed order of things was brought
aNiut. Street-cars ore a necessity, and
whatever stands in the wav of their use
will l)e done away with by the people."
When the British government made it
impossible to enforce forfeitures and other
penalties by reason of the loss or renuncia
tion of caste, considerable step toward
the abolition of caste distinctions was
taken. No laws for the government of
persons have beeu more rigid or more
speedy in respect to their jiennltics than
were tho regulations of caste. In certain
provinces of India, when under native rule,
it was regarded as justifiable homicide for
a man of high caste to strike dead a person
of inferior caste who should touch him
even by accident. One of the steps to
ward the present state of things were per
mitting a Brahmin to engage in pursuits
which had been followed only by persons
of inferior grade, whilo still prohibiting
persons of low caste from taking u)oii
themselves function which belonged to
those ulxwe them in rank.
In the present stage of the decay of caste
very embarrassing conditions arise. Not
long ago a man of good ability, but of in
ferior caste, was made a judge. He could
sit in judgment upon the acts of Brahmins
and even sentence them to imprisonment,
but he could not sit at the table with them
after quitting the court-room.
Culilornla'n Worship of .Money.
rlleleii Rutlettlu Pioneer rViH
"Califorumus have such big hearts," re
marked one who had lived there a score ol
years, and ought to know. Yet the coun
try is far from perfect, even though it is in
many respects a marvel. In the tirst plwe,
the worship of money, particularly in San
Francisco, has reached a formidable pass.
If a gentleman descants on the desirability
of any young lady he has met in society,
he rarely describes her as bright or inter
esting or intelligent or pretty, but simply
as the possessor of so many hundreds of
thousands. Every marriageable young
woman is distinctly labeled us to her mar
ket value. Without a large fortune you
are a bigger nobody than you are in Now
York; and with it you can envy the des
tinies of the entire state.
It is no great exaggeration to assert that
the whole of California is owned by half a
dozen Irishmen; and, of course, such a
condition of affairs couduces neither to the
public nor the privato weal. Money is al
ways a power, hut in California it becomes
a god, and cnaractcr suiters a consequent
demoralization. Still, no one should judge
a young country severely. J here is al
ways any amount of blundering, of cru
dity, that youth has to go through with.
San Francisco has not towed her wild oats
yet. Perhaps, with hor exuberance of life
and spirits, sho never will; but by and by
site will sow them more quietly, more de
cently anil in order, as New York or
Washington does now; and then the world
will ceased to be shocked. Society never
troubles itself about any manner of wick
edness, if only it is all done under cover,
and with a strict regard for the pro
prieties. The High Collar Craze.
Boston Globe.
"Yes, sir, this high collar craze is as
suming rather high proportions," remarked
a dealer in gents' furnishing goods to a re
porter yesterday. "You the present
style of 1884 is higher than it has ever
been before, and the young men seem all
collar."
"Where will it endr
"Well, I declare I do not know. I am
looking for an addition by 1890, which
will entirely envelop tue ctnn and give a
barber no end of trouble when he wants to
shave a customer. 1 ben, as one extreme
will lead to others, there maybeanip
rising in 1805, when young men w ho c n
not raise a mustache will be glnd to ndJ
another iuch and take in an upper lip una
a pug nose.
"This is a great country, Bir, and pro
gress is our motto. I look for still another
bull movement in collars when we reach
the new ccnturv.liWO, and we may exprcl
a collar which will hike in an entire head
and face, with nir holes for nose, mouth
and eves. It will be warm and nice in the
winter, and will be particularly popular
with homely young men.

A MICHIGAN LOCCINQ CAMP.
Mnety Tons or Lnmber Palled Over
Ice Hoad bf Two Hones.
IT-veland Leader.
The several logging camps of one
lumber firm in this oity are all in north
rn Michigan, an I have turned out in
the season just closed an aggregate of
10,000,000 feet of lumber. '1 he camps
are scattered along the An Sable and
Pine rivers, borne of the logs are
floated 150 miles before the mill at s
coda is reached. The logs are hauled
from where they ate cut ti the river on
low bob sleds over a carefully prepared
roadway. These roads, after a snow
foundation is formed at the begin
ning of the season, are carefully
scraped with a patent scraper.
Then a eprinkl rig-cut, with an
obundaut flo of water, is run over tho
road at night. The wuter freezes and
makes tho roadbed a mass of solid ion.
Eaoh snowfall is ca c fully scraped oiT
and the flooding process oon inues until
the ice driveway is eighteen or twenty
inches above the surface of the ad
jacent land. Thus built, the roadbeds
are firm and not as susceptible to a
thaw as the ordinary snow-packed
roads. In laying out these roach a dis
tance of two miles is ofton traversed
to make a point not more than ono
quarter of a mile distant. This it
requistein making it perfectly level
or with a slight in dine t iward the ob
jective point of tho loaded sleds.
On such magnificent roa Is immense
hauls can be in ado, and the expense in
curred ,n building and car in for them
is umptly justified. In the company's
oltiee in this city u a large photograph
of the largest load of logs ever drawn
by a single team of horses. 'J ho
picture was taken about throe we.'k
ago at Gtsga lake, on the head wators
of tiie Au Sublo river. There oro
twenty-one pine logs, sixty-four feet
long, and the load moa-ured .'10,0 18
feet of good lumber, board mensuro.
The hollow butts, lark, and waste are
all Fcaled out of thoso fissures. A closo
estimate of the weight of the load puti
it at ninotv tons.
Tho team weighed about 3,200
pounds, and easily liaulml this iinmunso
weight a distance of a mile and a qtmr
ter. The horses pull wide apart, the
neck yoke and whi lietrres being twelvo
feet in length. The bolsters of tho
bob sleds on which the load rests a: o
of tho same length, and tho logi
rise np to a height of about sixteen
feet. The runners of the bob sleds aro
about four inches wide and six inches
thick. The bobs ret very low and
spread fully twelve feet. They are eou
nected by cro.-s chnins which rn l from
the heel of tho front Hied to tho toe of
the rear one, cross ng in tho centre.
The logs are loaded by means of skids
which reach f om the ground to the
load. With a ro; e and tackle the horses
roll the logs up tho inclined plane m'o
place with the greatest ease. Tbor.i is
a deal of rivalry in the lumber camp i
over the question of big loads. A few
years ago three or four of these logs,
scaling 1.500 or 2,000 feet of lumber,
were considered a pretty good load for
a team. '1 he improved roadways have
largely contributed to the increased
hauls.

"Are they mostly complimentary?"
"Well," said George, laughing,
