THE MODERN FAST TRAIN SCOKZS OF HANDS KEEP IN TRIM. IT Immaculate Cleanliness the Rule in Every Section o£ the Flyer. When tlie Ijaby is washed and scrubbed and dressed and groomed to go to church for the liist time for his christening, no greater pains aie taken over liini than are taken every day to make the modern lu.^- urious raih-oad "tlyer" look spick and span. t! rooming an express train is a mo.st diflicult and oxpunsive business. While the most extravagant ol up- to-date dandies vvouhi not dream o£ having more than three or lour val- ets, at most, the expiesa will have anywhere from a hundred to a hun- dred and (ifty, each doi; g his own special part of the work.

When the cars are rea.dy for the run they are taken by a switch en- gine down to the station, to be coupled to the locomotive. The locomotive which makes the run never, under any clrcinistauces, hauls the cars to their yards, or way journey, Iherofure, especially if does any menial work about the sta- he rides behind a good modern flyer he may feel sure that everything which skill and forethought can do to make the trip a safe one has been done. After the car has been taken down to the .vards by a switch engine, it is pounced upon by A SMALL AltMY OF MEN, who give it a sort of a preliminary rub-down, and afterwards a most thorough grooming, before it is tak- en back to the station for the ne.xt run. The carpets are all taken out of the car and blown by compressed air, a thorough way of cleaning them, which is not adopted even in the niost expensive hotels once a week, let alone once a day. The mattresses, cushions, pillows and seats arc also taken out and blown by comiu-essed air. The wood work, glass, and brass work all over the car arc cleaned and polished by doz- ens of men, and the exterior wood- work is rubbed with oil. .\ll the running gear of the car is most cari'fully overhaided. Steam- litters, electricians, engineers, and other experts examine in their .spec- ial departments, and the lights and Bir brakes are rigidly tested. The cups on the journals are fdled with oil, every part of the wheels exam- ined, and, in short, just as thorough a test made of the running gear as in the case"* of the locomotive her- BeU.

Whether it was infectious or not, the railroad ofTlcials take no chances with the health and lives of their pas.sengers. This regulation applies generally to all railroad cars not merely to the palace cars. Another large staff attends to the provisioning and equipping of the car from the commissariat dopart- Inent, which is attached to the sta- llon yard. A special force is even told of! to take towels and other articles to tlio sleeping cars. It goes without say- ing that those are renowwl every ili.v. v. von if there are a lot ol un- tion. Jt would be an unspeakable degradation. My Lord the Flyer, must have a switch engine to re- lieve him of his load innnediately he comes into the station, jusl as the engineer has a man to take his place when he reaches the round-house. Before the ears are coupled to the engine the air brakes are once again tested, piior to the run, by means of steam pipes placed in the station platforms tor the purpose. If they are found to be all right the cars are coupled up, and the run be- gins on schedule time, with locomo- tive and coaches all beautifully groomed. Hut if anything is found to bo wrong with the running gear of one of the cars, or if its mimcrous val- et's have not been able to get it .spick and span in lime, to the per- fect satisfaction of the superintend- ent of the yard, it is .sent back, and another car is put in its place.
