Hungarian Railroads.

In Hungary the railroads are under government control. Since the adoption of cheap fares and a simple system of tickets on sale like postage stamps, passenger travel has increased morie than 100 per cent. If the same rates prevailed in the United States, «a ticket from New York to Chicago would only cost $2.92, or from New York to Philadelphia 29 cents, and proportionate rates for any distance. Freight could be prepaid by stamps according to classification and distance. If receipts from consignees were desired, they could be had at email additional cost by registering goods sent. —Sound Mor.f - i
