It is more difficult to be polite in tbo city of Hamburg than in any other place in Europe. There the most chiv­ alrous man has to think twice before giving ttp his seat in a car to a lady, as he may be turned off the car for po­ liteness. It seems that the Hamburg trolley cars will seat, according to size, 20 or 28 persons, 10 to 14 on each side. In addition four persons are allowed on the front and five persons on the back platform. When the car Is full, the conductor hangs out a sign, "Be- setzt," which means "occupied," and is absolutely forbidden to take on another passenger uptil some one gets off the car. Sometimes, while the conductor If 10 front collecting fares, a lady will step on the ear whloh ig "eccup'sdL" As there Is no conductor on hand to prevent her, the lady steps inside, and the gentleman who may offer her a •eat comes out and takes his stand on the platform. When the conductor aft- going his rounds returns to his post, he promptly requests the gentleman to step off the car, as he has forfeited his seat and the car Is fully "occupied." Should he refuse to leave the car be is put off. The policemen on the streets are Instructed to watch the cars sharp­ ly, and if they find a cap carries even one more passenger than its proper complement the conductor is fined 72 cents, which Is paid to a charity fund of the street railway company.--Phila­ delphia Press.
