to the latest combination of improve

These conditions the Light Run

But why delay longer? Consider
ing the low prices at which good ma
chimes are now sold, and the improve
ments that have been made, now is a
good time to buy. and the New Home
specially recommends itself to pur-
chasers on account of its superior me-

The NEwsPAPER.-People who live
in the great thoroughfares, where they
have access to two or three dajlies and
half dozen weeklies do not fully ap-
preciate the value of a newspaper.
They come, indeed, to look upon them
as necessities, and they as cheerfully
do without their morning meals as
their morning mail. But one must be
far off in the country, remote from the
"maddening crowd" TO realize the
full luxury of newspaper. The far
mer who receives but one newspaper
a week, does not glance over its col
umns hurriedly, with glance Of i'm
patience, as does the merchant or law
yer. He begins with the beginning
and reads to the lose, not permitting
a news item or an advertisement to
escape his eye. Then it has to be
thumbed by each member of the fam
lily looking for things in which he or
she is most interested. The grown-up
daughters look for the marriage no.

has treated them to a love story. The

reads all the crop reports, and has
keen eye for improved modes of Gull
ture. The younger members of the
family come in for the amusing anec-
dotes and scraps of fun. All look
forward to the day that shall bring
the paper with the iveliest anticipa-
tions, and if by some unlucky chance
it fails to come, it is a bitter disap-
pointment. One can hardly estimate
the amount of information which
paper that is not only read but stu
died, can carry into family. They
have, week by week, spread before
their mental vision panorama of the
"busy world, its fluctuations and its
vast concerns" It is the poor man s
library, and furnishes as much mental
food as he has time to consume and
digest. No one who has observed
how much those who are far away
from places where men most congre-
gate value their weekly paper, can
fail to join in invoking blessing on
this means of intellectual enjoyment.

air-brakes are released instantly
and the throttle-va freed from re-
~straint. The action of the electrical

length of the road, every second one in

regulated as to be gradual and to effect
the stoppage of the train within the
block it has just entered when the
signal is given.
When asked what the effect would
be if the boxes we're tempered with,
the electrician replied that they would
be made of wrought iron and securely
locked, so that they could not be en-
tered except by employees of the road
who had keys, and that they were
water. tight. The appliances are so
arranged that the weight Of an eugiue
on tho rail is required to operate the
machinery Of the boxes, thus inssring
a safeguard against their being tam
pered with by irresponsible persons.
The electric current is also placed
through drawbridges, and when these
are up the current is broken and the
boxes locked two miles beyond in
either direction. When switches are
misplaced or left open the current is
also broken. Where landslides are
expected barriers are erected and the
electric current connected with them,
50 hat a landslide throwing them
down would destroy the current aud
give the necessary warning. As a
guard against falling rocks in tunnels,
an iron screen will be placed next to
the roof Of the tunnel, and a weight Of
rock upon this heavy enough to break
through would destroy the electric
current and give the same warning as
in the cases noted above.
The system, it is estimated, will
require a pair of dynamo electric
engines to furnish electricity for every
one hundred miles ofthe road operated
under it, andits whole operation, being
automatic, is designed to do away
entirely with human aid.

Mr.. Baillie- GrohmaD, the author of
this book ("Camps IN the Rockies"
by William A Baillie- Grehman, New
York: Charles Scribner's SOns), pos
sesses a thoroughly English fendness
for going out aud killing something"
together with a like national fondness
for penetrating into out of the way
places, aud for climbing mountains.
Having exhausted the sporting posi-
bilities OF Europe, he has devoted his
attention to Western America with
good results. The preseutvolume is a
chronicle Of the more entertaining
incidents and adventures Of three
hunting trips in the Central Rocky
Mountain region-the region between
the lines Of the Northern Pacific and
Central Pacific railways. By people
who like TO read about hunting and
exploration, his book will be heartily
approved. 1t is not by any means al
account Of the experiences of q
"tenderfoot." 1t is sturdy, manly
aud, what is most astonishing in {
book Of this sort, it is strikingly
modest. He tells stories against him
