A New RAILROAD SIaNAL.-A new
English system of railway signaling
places 4 train in motion in constant
Communication with stations ahead or
behind. A light insulated metal rail
extends from one station to another in
the middle OF the track, and is con-
nected by wires with batteries and tel
egraphic instruments at each station.
Trailing runners or drags from tho en-
CINE and the guards van are made to
rest on the central rail, the runners
being connected with the batteries and
signaling instruments, enabling con.
slant communication to be kept up be-
tween the engineer and guard, or with
the station at either end OF the line. A
suspended runner or drag hangs under
each car in such position that the pull
ing Of q cord by = passenger in the car
allows it to drop-thus transmitting the
signal Of danger or, alarm to the engi.
neer and to each STATEN in the circuit.
Another part of the invention provides
means of exactly locating the posi-
ton Of the train at any moment. To
communicate with distant points from
the car OF flying express train is q
feat worthy of this age Of progress.

1t Is a Mistake.

It is q mistake to suppose that a man
is never employed as conductor of q
horse car unless he can bring the GER
ti6cate of q respectable physician testi-
flying to his total deafness. 1t only
seems so to you because you happen
not to attract his attention when par
ticulsrly DESTROYS to take his car.
II is mistake to think that your &C.
tons or desires have any influence on
the dispenser of the weather. You
should be thankful they do not. If
they did, Old Prob would 60 mad and
your fellow countrymen 60 madden.
1t is q mistake to think that your in
terlocutor is listening to what you say.
He is thinking either of what he has
said or is going to say, just as you were
and will be.
1t is q mistake. young man, when you
think the girls are just dying after
you. 1t is only you who are thoroughly
in love with yourself.
1t is mistake for o preacher to say,
"Just one word more, and am done. "
He but lengthens his discourse by 30
much. without deceiving any one OF
his ea.ers for an instant.
1t il mistake to suppose that every.
body is thinking about You. You do
90 much of that kind of work yourself
that you exhaust the subject.
It is . mistake to expect direct an
swer from q politician. His life is Civ
en- to lodging questions before election
and giving evasive answers after cleo
ton.
1t is . mistake to suppose hat your
children will be satisfied with your ex-
periences. You didn't accept your
fathers, but preferred taking term
in the same dear school.
1t 10 Q mistake to suppose that men
DO not mean what they say. There Is
bat one man of whom You can posi-
lively make that Affirmation.
1t 10 mistake to suppose that people
go to concert to hear the music. They
60 simply to exchange receipts for
doughnuts and dropcakes. ".
1t is q mistake 10 suppose that your
friend is consumedly interested IN your
eloquent description Of your liver
troubles. On the contrary, he Is e1-
cessiyely anxious TO tell you OF his
eatarrt.
LISA mistake 10 wish the butcher
would remove the bones before weigh

stance of wide-awake journalism is re-
ported from Kansas. Coffeysville in
that State being in dried-up cond,.
ton, change in the weather was the
one thing mostly desired by the anxious
farmers. 1t came, but it came too late
for the regular edition of the Coffeys-
vile Journal. Forthwith, on q little
sheet, the enterprising proprietor of the
newspaper issued an extra, Of which
the following were the entire contents
" Rain Rain! After the Journal was

A SHE.DEvIL The warden at the
State prison at Bangor, Me-, recently
related curious story. A young
woman who served out a sentence of
five years found means of education,
and becoming thoroughly reformed,
and Christian, left the prison in ap-
pearance lady. She was employed in
dry goods firm in Portland as sales
woman, and gave perfect satisfaction 10
her employers, till one day wealthy
lady Of the place entered the store and
recognized her. Calling the proprietor
aside, she told him that the girl had
been in the State prison. He replied
that he knew it, but that she had done
her duty faithfully, and that they we're
all satisfied with her. "Well." said
the lady, "if you keep her in your
store, I will neither trade with you
myself nor suffer any of my friends to,
if can help it," So the proprietor,
rather than lose his customer, called in
the poor girl and discharged her.

For the first time, it is claimed, q
woman delivered an address at an agri-
cultural show and cattle fair. From
the report it was good address, had q
fair share of statistics about pork and
beef and matters pertaining to farmers
interests. She advocated the liberal
education of farmers sons, and thought
that they should he trained in such q
way as to love the farm, and delight to
stay upon it. The newspaper, by the
information it gave them concerning
their work and the condition of the
markets, she considered an excellent
educator; her contrast between the
farmers of other lands and self depend
ent American farmers, was pointedly.
