The RAILWAY WHISTLE.
Massachusetts Taking the Lead in Bene-
fCent Reform

Massachusetts, Taking the Lead in a Bene-
ficent Reform.
Massachusetts is leading the way in
bringing about a most benefcent re-
form-the abatement of the nuisance of
locomotive whistling. For many years
the railroad commissioners have urged
upon the companies the feasibility of
restricting the use of the whistle. They
held that by frightening horses it prob
ably caused as many accidents as it
saved, not to speak of the deaths reS
sulting from loss of sleep in cases of
illness where the inyalids house is near
the track. and further argued that the
value OF the warning as distinct sig
nal OF danger is greatly diminished by
its indiscriminate use. A dozen years
ago the managers of the Boston & AL
bany Railroad, one Of the most impor-
tant in the State, We're converted to
this view, and discontinued the use of
the whistle except as a danger signal
Experience has shown no increase in
the number of accidents. while the
comfort of jewellers along the line has
been greatly promoted. The success
OF THIS experiment led to the passage
by the last Legislature of law to re-
strict the use of whistles at street
crossings. A petition by citizens of
Lawrence for the application of this
law in their city was recently heard by
the Commissioners, and they have just
exercised their discretionary power by
giving orders to prevent Whistling at
certain specified crossings in thickly
settled quarters. The Commissioners
at the same time recommend the COM
panies to discontinue the use of the
whistle as signal for switches, and as
a means Of communication from one
employe to another, on the ground that
the practice is needless and an mex
cusable annoyance to the public. The
Importance of this movement not only
as means of comfort, but as a sani-
tary measure, can not easily be exag-
gerated. T. Post.
St. Landry democrat., 1885-08-29
The Endemic of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of suicides
and murders? Recent discussions have
named several causes. Hon. c. H. Reeve,
of Indiana, charges it to infidel teachings
holding that hopelessness of a future
state cripples fortitude for bearing life's
ills. Another declares suffering from the
universal business depression the cause. A
third writer attributes it to increasing in
sanity, a physician thinks much of the
tendency is inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free thinkers have committed suicide,
but so have orthodox churchmen. Finan-
cial straits have beset many, bat the
wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and family
murder mentions the perpetrator as having
g for some time been subject to melan-
choly." Whence comes this? All recog-
nized medical authorities tell US that the
fire which consumes the brain is always
kindled by arrangements of digestion; that
good digestion is impossible without pure
blood, and pure blood is never known when
the liver and kidneys are out of order.
Under such circumstances, a preventive
should be sought, and for this Warmers
safe cure is sovereign-a fact conceded by
Che best authorities in the land, and it is
especially commended by the celebrated

ROTATION.
The Key to the Whole System of Crop
Renovation.

The Key to the Whole System of Crop
Renovation.
If one vii observe, how nature pro
vides succession Of crops, a rotation,
in fact, of pines after hard woods and of
hard woods after pines, he may learn
the necessity of following this example
Of nature and of himself practicing a
regular rotation of crops. And the
GARNER is bound to practice this natural
law Of rotation, and in the practice the
luguminous crops play mostimportant
part Then we have to consider where
clover or peas, which are the most use
full of these crops, come in to the best
advantage. And as rule it must be
Just preceding the most exacting crop.
With some farmers this is wheat, with
some it is corn, and with some sone of
these is as important as another. But
clover comes in just at this point, and,
in fact, it is the key to the whole of the
rotation. All that is to be considered,
then, is how to get it in, because, as
rule, the clover is sown down with the
wheat. Where peas are a successful
crop theresis no trouble, because peas
can precede wheat, clover can folloWit
oats or barley can follow clover, roots or
potatoes can follow the oats or barley,
and peas can follow the roots. Where
corn is grown this can follow clover or
mixture of grass and clover; roots can
follow corn, oats or barley can follow
roots, clover can be sown down with
these grains, and wheat can follow the
clover, and clover and timothy can be
sown with the wheat, or grass of some
kind alone. In the one rotation there will
be FIVE crops and in the other eight. We
mention roots because this crop is as in
dispensible as clover for its beneficial
effect in cleaning the soil of weeds, and
this operation is as absolutely necessary
to good farming as good soil and good
culture are.-M. T. Times.
