Anew Railway Signal system.

A committee, of which James
McCrea, OF the Panhandle route, is
chairman, have been preparing a
new system of signals, which will be
reported to the next railway conven-
ton for adoption. Twenty-Five OF
the large roads of the country were
compared, and the simplest deduc-
tion made, which is as follows; Go
ahead, a motion motion up and
down; stop, a motion crosswise with
the track; back up, motion in a
vertical circle; train parted, a mo-
ton in a verticle circle at arms
length across the track, given con-
tinuously until answered by the en-
gineer. The committee will recon-
mend the following bell cord signals :
One pull to start, train standing; two
to stop, train running two to call in
hagman, train standing; three to
stop at next station, train running ;
three to back, train standing; four
to reduce speed, while running.
For whistle signals eleven are recon-
mended. These are the principal
ones: Long blast for approaching
stations, crossings and functions
short toot for applying brakes, two
blasts for of brakes, two toots as an
answer to any signal; three blasts
for train parted and three toots for
back up. For torpedo signals they
recommend one torpedo for danger
and two for caution, the latter so
that if one misses fire the other will
bring train to stop.

WHY Eve Didn't Need a Girl.

A lady writer in one of our eX
changes furnishes some of the rea-
sons why Eve did not keep a girl.
She saws: There has been a great
deal said about the faults OF women
and why they need so much waiting
on. Some one a man of course }
has the presumption to ask, why,
when Eve was manufactured out of
a spare rib, a servant was not made
as the same time TO wait on her p
She didn't need any. A bright
writer has said: Adam never came
whining to Eve with a ragged stock
ing to be darned, buttons to be sewed
on, gloves to be mended right away
quick, now?' He never read the
newspaper until the sun went down
behind the palm trees, and stretch
ing himselfthen yawn out, Is SUPPER
ready yet, my dear?" Not he. He
made the fire, and hung the kettle
over it himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes, peeled the pota-
toes, and did everything else he
ought to do. He MIXED the COWS
and fed the chickens and looked
after the pigs himself, and never
brought home half dozen friends
for dinner when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates. He never stay
ed out till eleven O'Clock at night
and then scolded because Eve was
sitting up, and crying inside the
gates. He never loafed around cor
ner groceries while Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. He
never called Eve up from the cellar
to put away his slippers. Not he.
When he took them off he put
them under the zig tree beside his
SUNDAY boots. In short he did not
think she was especially created for
the purpose of waiting upon him,
and he wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced a man to- slighten a
wife's cares little. That's the rea-
son Eve didn't need a hired girl,
and what is the reason her descend
ants did

The "Homiug" Faculty

| must say that / much doubt
whether the faculty which enables
dogs and other animals to find their
way home is rightly called intelli-
gence, although intelligence, no
doubt, freeuantly has some share
in the result. Human beings are
much more intelligent than dogs,
and yet how few of them, if placed
unexpected in the same circumstan-
ces as poor "yacob"-that is carried
off in the dark along streets and
roads altogether unknown to them,
to a place miles away, where they
had never been before, and to the
position and bearings of which they
had not the very slightest clue-how
few of them, | say, would within
reasonable time find their way back
again, at least if they trusted to their
intelligence alone, and did not ask
questions orconsult maps. Cats, on
the other hand, are rightly regarded
as less intelligent than dogs, and yet
they ENJOY the reputation OF being
more skillful in finding their home
again. A calf, too, is commonly sup
posed to be a type erather OF stupidity
than intelligence, and yet | know OF
one instance which seems to show
that this "homing" faculty is, or may
be. at least as strong in calf as IN
the most intelligent of dogs. Some
fifteen wears ago | was staying at a
friends house at Linton, a small
market town about ten miles from
Cambridge. On the morning after
my arrival | perceived that some
thing unusual was going on outside
the house, and on making inquiry |
was told that a calf six weeks old,
which had belonged to my friend,
but had been sold the previous al
ternoon and carried away in a cart
to a farmhouse some five miles dis
tant. had come back home to Its
mother Now, had the calf come
back along the road by which the
cart had conveyed it to It's new
home, much surprise would, no
doubt. have been felt at such a sig
nal instance of sagacity in so young
an animal still, there would not
have been anything particularly ex-
traerdinaryy in the matter. But
the calf had not followed the road,
which was circuitaus, consequence
of the hilly character Of the country.
A boy had seen it start off from the
farm, and had followed it the whole
of the way, vainly attempting to
catch it. and SO the routs 1t had TAX
en- was known. 1t had gone at a
quick pace in the most direct line
possible from its new home to Its
old one, and in doing so 1t had climb
ed hill and passed through a wood
which crowned the summit OF that
hill. Here, surely, the faculty which
guided the calf was not intelligence
alone

PRESENT POWER.

Comfort is never in a hurry. Pain
and distress are in hot haste.
1t is to the friend in need"-the
friend who does something now
that the old adage pays the compli-
ment of being "a friend indeed. "
That they DO not keep the sufferer
in suspense is the salient excellence
of Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters.
The plasters of other days-whether
porous or otherwise-said-"Wai
until tomorrow: We can promise
nothing on thespur of the moment" "
But pain unrelieved, like hope de-
ferred, maketh the beart sick. B, n
sons plasters act on application.
They permeate, soothe, warm and
heal, containing, as they do, cbemi-
cal and medicinal agents of the
highest efficiency. Their motto is
now, and the genuine have the word

Heroic Patriots.

At the storming Of Warsaw, the
principal battery was only defended
by two batallions, but with such
bravery as history can hardly parai-
lei. When it was evident that 1t
ceuld no longer hold out, several
privates of the artillery seated them
selves on powder barrels, and blew
themselves up. But the conduct OF
General Sowinskin was truly heroic;
having lost one foot, he was, at bus
earnest request, seated on a chair,
and placed on the altar of the des-
perately-defanded church, where he
continued to give orders until the
last of his comrades was cut down,
when drawing forth two pistols, he
with one shot Russian who was
rushing upon him, and with the
exclamation, $50 dies Polish gener-
al!'' fired the other into his own
heart.

Some HINTS About Water.

No water that has stood in open
vessels or pals during the night
should be used for drinking or cook
ing. BY exposure to the air 1t has
lost its 'acretion," and has absorbed
many of the dust germs floating in
the apartment. Ii convenience re-
quires water to be kept in vessels
for several hours, it should be cover
ed unless the vessels are tight. Fill
tering adds to the purity of water.
Drinking water should not be taken
from lakes or rivers on a low level.
Surface water, or water in lakes, and
rivers, which receive the surface
wash should be avoided as much as
possible. Do not drink much wa
ter at a time. More than two tum-
blers tull should not be taken at a
meal. Do not drink between meals,
unless to quench thirst, as an excess
OF water weakens the kidneys. Ex-
cessive potatians, whether of water
or other fluids, relax the stomach,
impair its secretions, and paralyze
its movements. By drinking but
little at a time all injury is avoided.

Pride often miscalculates, a
more often misconceives.

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call specil
attention to the fact that after ApI
16, 1888, the name and style Of thl
preparation will hereafter be simp-l
Pdrker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that "
principled dealers are constantly de
ceiving their patrons by substitutil
inferior preparations under thenan

important fiavoring ingredient

friends will agree with u as to .a
LrOpriety of the change. There vi
be no change, however, in the r--I
aration itself and all bottles 2

Want of Faith.

IfC. \. Boyd, the Druggist, does
not succeed it is not for the want OF
faith. He has such faith in DR.. Bo-
sanko's Cough and Lung Syrup as a
remedy for Coughs, Colds, Consump-
tion, and Lung affections, that he
will give a bottle free to each and
every one who is in need of medi-
cine of this kind.
A clear head is indicative of good
health and regular habits. When
the body feels heavy and languid,
and the mind works sluggishly,
Ayers Cathartic Pills will wonder

buoyancy and mental vigor. The
constipated should use them.

Burglary Kisses.

One night last week a burglary
was committed at the residence of
Mr.. Leonard, corner of Emerald
avenue and thirty fifth street. and
the burglar stole one thing which no
police force in the world could re-
cover. 1t was nething less than a
kiss, and the sweet morsel came
near costing the thief his liberty
then and there. He entered the
house by forcing open rear win
dow, and at once began promenade
through the apartments in search Of
valuables. In the bedroom where
Mr. Leonard and his wife were sleep
ing he got gold watch and chain
and some money without disturb
ing the sleepers. Then he went to
the sleeping apartment occupied by
the daughter of Mr.. Leonard, pret-
ty blue-eyed maiden of about seven
teen summers. Here he obtained
some valuable articles of iewelry.
As he was about to leave the room
with his plunder, however, he turn
ed to look at the face of the fair
sleeper in the dim light of the low
Gas jet, and the sight of the red lips
and rosy cheeks buried in the pillow
above the delicate lace of the night
robe was too tempting to resist He
stole softly up to the bed and plant
ed strong Bridgeport kiss on the
unsuspecting but inviting mouth
and then rushed from the room.
The girl awoke with a start and ut
tered south-side scream that arous-
ed the other people in the house,
but the burglar escaped through the
open window just in time to avoid a
shot from Mr.. Leonard's pistol. The
stolen kiss left behind it faint odor
of alcohol, which, Miss Leonard
says was quite apparent to her when
she first aweke.-7ri6une
