How Stations Are Named.

There is very little red tape i'll the
naming of a new station or the renam-
ing of an old one on the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The selection
belongs invariably to the General Su-
perintendcnt. He suggests the name.
and i'll the case Of a change of the name
Of an old station his choice must be APP
proved bv the Board Of Directors. 1t
has been the policy of the company to
get rid of the duplication of names.
and. with this end in view, of late years
great many changes have been made.
1t frequently occurs, however, that the
company would he pleased to give a
station new name because the old
title corresponds with Il dozen others
belonging to the road, but it is found
impossible to do SO because the inhabit-
ants nf the town or village ut the sta
tion would not submit to it. There is
invariably breeze from the inhabitants
whenever IN old st .tion is given new
name. The dupli ,ation of names leads
to confusion and endless vexation in the
handling Of freight. Until two wears
ago there was no end to the list of
Union, Eagle AMI Green Tree stations,
but most ot these have been rechrist-
enel. An official, speaking upon this
subject. said: we generally try to
make the new name conform to that Of
the postoilice. and sometimes the name
of the postoflice is changed by the Gov
ernment official. and then We conform
to it. The duplication of the names Of
stations had led to much confusion in
the business of the road in the past.
and, If II were possible. don't suppose
any two stations of the same name
would lie permitted fortnight. -

tine frequently hears the remark
made that plants do not succeed in
certain gardens, but on inquiry it gen
orally turns ont that the plants selected
have not been suited to the positions
they occupy. Although some plants
delight IN abundant sunlight. others
are equally at home IN deep shade, and
it is only by observation as to what con-
ditions are most favorable for certain
plants, and selecting them accordingly
that success can be achieved In this
locality. wherever the situation is open
to sunshine, bright-fiowering plants are
the fayorites. aud thus many Of our
gardens are kept gay nearly the whole
year round. the latest Chrysanthe-
NUNS not being long removed before
early Towering bulbs and many other
plants are in blossom. But all gardens
cannot have full south aspects, and it
is refreshing on bright summer DAYS to
find instead Of summer bedding plants
gardens in shady places filled with the
verdant foliage of hardy Ferns and of
other plants that dislike sunshine.
When well established it is surprising
how effective even the commonest of our
native Ferns are planted in shade. and
how beautiful they make many an other
wise nninteresting corner look; even
little borders by hard-pavel yards or
ground beneath large trees where moth
ing else will grow may be made cheer
full by means of Ferns. Get together
u few Of the largest and roughest stones
that can he obtained, and a load or two
of good soil: make irregular mounds
here and there, and on these plant the
Ferns lntermiN with them a few
dwarf trailing plants. keep them well
watered, and they will soon produce a
striking effect. ~. -.
