TRICKS ON TIE TRAoKsl
Dangers frum which Enziuesrs Save n
Public and The nseives.


The RailuGy Rerieis.
One who is accustomed to railway travel
Ing can scarcely realize how much he Is de-
pendent for safety upon the engineer. Added
to the responsibility OF their station, engineers
are also in constant danger Of accidents
caused by the tricks Of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, 1t is said, sometimes prompts
to the doing Of utterly mean tricks. A Niekle
Plate engineer after his very first trip was
laid off because he had "cut out" all the bear
ings Of his engine He was re-instated, how
ever, after he proved that some rival had
filled his oiling can NTH emery. Another new
engineer was suspended for burning out the
fiues OF his boiler. Through grief at the loss
OF his position he died, and then conscience
stricken rival confessed that he had put oil
IN the tank so that it foamed and showed
water at the top guage, when in reality there
was scarcely quart in the boilerl
These intense jealousies, together with the
terrible anxiety Incident to their work, has a
terribly straining effect on the nerve, and
statistics tell us that, though Locomotive En-
gineers may look strong and vigorous, they
are not all hearty class. EX-Chief Engineer

Kid shoes can be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a

Stovepipes can be cleaned by putting

If people will use a porcelain teapot
which has been well scalded before the
tea is put in, and place it where it will
be kept quite hot before pouring on
the boiling water, they will find the
aroma perfectly preserved. The round
porcelain teapot with narrow spout and
very small opening, just large enough
to put in the dry tea with a teaspoon,
IS the best shape. The old rule, "a
for each cup and one for
.he pot" is a safe one.

from the doctor that to try an expert
ment he had purchased a bag Of finely
ground limestone, and going into the
centre Of his field, he had sowed by
hand in the form of these letters to
see if it would have any effect upon
the grass, and this was the wonderful
result. The grass forming these let
tiers was double in quantity. and of
quite different color"
While this is an exceedingly salts
factory experiment it must not be
taken as conclusive as a proof that the
ground limestone would always have
this remarkable result. Indeed. there
are circumstances known in which no
effect whatever has been noticed from
a similar application. The secret, we
think. lies in the fact that DIR. Sharp
in his farm practice has followed
very excellent and skillful method of
supplying his soil literally with car
bonaceous matters. Having a very
just appreciation Of the value Of this
kind of manure he has applied it free
ly to his soil. The land is, therefore,
well supplied with organic forms of
carbon compounds, especially carbonic
acid. It is a known fact that lime
stone is freely dissolved in water con
tanning carbonic acid. while it may be
in water that is devoid of
this solvent This is a point of great
Importance. and should be taken into
1t is consistent with
the general fact that special fertilizers
are most useful in soils rich in organic
matter, and very often wholly inert
otherwise. This fact seems to explain
Why ground limestone is so variously
and why in one case it is
effective and in others
luite the reverse.-Net0 York Times.

FOrest Lsavos md Forest In1oula.

Forest Leaves and Forest mould.
The trees of the forest, by their an
nual deposit of leaves and fruits, and
finally by the fall and decay of their
trunks, prepare valuable beds of
humus or forest mould for the use Of
gardeners and farmers. All who are
wise avail themselves Of this decayed
vegetable matter, which is wonder
fully recuperative agent and greatly
priced, especially by market gardeners
and florists.
Leaf mould, notably that of hard
wood trees. such as oak, hickory,
beech, walnut and others, contains
valuable fertiIizing material and is in
excellent condition for the ameliora-
ton of the soil. 1t is not as ferti-
lizer alone that it benefits the land;
it tends also to mellow the soil and
open it to the action of the rain and
the sun, as well as to the roots of
plants. Leaf mould has been found
especially useful on close clay soils
that need aerating, as well as on light
lands destitute of the required amount
of humus.
Forest leaves, that are freshly fallen
from the trees, are also of use; and
when the farmer has leisure teams
and his boys leisure time, it pays to
gather and haul these for covering,
as a protection against frost and to
mix with manure in the hotbed, sc.
Many gardeners employ forest leaves
for mulching their strawberry beds
and for covering celery pits and hotbed
frames. In this connection it may
not be amiss to remind readers that
.he refuse around wood-piles is a good
material for mixing in the compost

The business of rearing good calves
some persons treat as of no conse-
quence, feeding and treating them
with much irregularity. They are apt
to take pains with the domestic ami
mails about the house, but those of the
farm are often neglected. To have
fine, large cattle, good care must be
,taken of the calves from the very
start. Last year bought a mich cow
with calf two weeks old. 1 immedi-
ately permanently separated them,
and taught the calf to drink skinned
milk and eat hay, sometimes giving it
a little corn meal mixed with fresh
milk. The calf soon learned to drink
and eat, and has grown apace, and is
now a very handsome heifer. The
cow, in few days, became weaned,
and gave an abundance Of milk. A
calf may be readily taught to drink its
food, simply by pressing its head into
the pail with one hand and inserting
the forefnger Of the other into its
mouth. By this method it will in
stinctively suck its beverage. When
a calf is about six weeks old, turn it
into lot of grass to pasture, but con-
tinue to give it meal and milk, and
skinned milk twics a day. By this
process 1 increase the size nearly one
third beyond that attained by my
neglected ones of equal age. |
To have a fine calf, he must be kept |
under the farmers eye, and always
we'll fed.-HOuSehOJd and Farm.

TWENTY-FIVE CONvIoTs SHOT.

A dispatch from Rusk, Texas. says; cat the
terminus of the Kansas and Gulf Shore Line,
near Lufkin, in Angelina county, Texas, sixty
convicts made a desperate break for liberty.
The men were being worked on the railroad.
The revolt occurred at five o'clock, just as the
prisoners had finished their supper. With
deafening yelis they started up in a body and
rushed for the neghboring woods. The
guards opened fire on the fleeing convicts with
deadly effect. The latest report says that
twenty-five Of the conviets were killed or
wounded. The prisoners ran in a body and
the guards simply empted their repeating
rifles and small arms into the moving mass.
lumors Of an intended mutiny in the camp
have been rife for some weeks These rumors
were strengthened by the fact that many of
the oonvicts were serving life sentences and
were known TO be desperate characters. Extra
precautions were being taken to avoid an up
rising, Every means possible is being used to
recapture the thirty-fve convicts who sue
ceeded in eluding the rifles of the guards. All
avenues Of escape are being guarded, and
posses are being organized to scOur the coun-
