WEIGHT AND ABILITY.

TEST KOI! WORKERS. Smilos of self-satisfaction wreathe the fact's'of tlu> fat men at tlio Carbondale works of the Delaware and Hudson Railway, while the lean men wear harassed looks. Those whoso weight approaches near lOst eagerly welcome suggestions for tile accumulation of tissue. This anxiety of the thin men is due to the recent discharge of nineteen meu weighing less than loOlb. They sav that orders have been given for the discharge of all others under 1501b in weight, as well as all over fortv-lire years of age. The managers' belief is that men weighing 1421b have not the strength or stamina of those of 18011), and consequently cannot do an equal amount of work.
