Railway Signals by rrumnet.

The blasts Of the trumpet on railways
as n means of giving signals to engine
drivers, pointsmen and others engaged in
shunting operations, which are now ex-
tensively used il large shNnting yards of
the Caledonian railway in and around
Glasgow, are, it is stated, about to be in
troducc on some of the great railway
systems having termini in London. hc-
cording to the code of trumpet signals
for shunting in operation at st. Rollox
goods yards, Glasgow, the various signals
are represented by long blasts, short
blasts and ''crowsn of the trumpet, the
repetition of each varying the directions;
for instance, a long blast of the trumpet
means ''move forward" and two long
blasts are a signal to move back" AS
a rule, the goods yards of the principal
railways, if not quite close to the termini,
are situated usually in thickly popula-
ted metropolitan districts, and it is be-
heved that if trumpet signaling should be
introduced to them, d~iscordant sounds
of continuous and diversified blasts of
the trumpet will create q nuisance-es-
pecially at night, when people are in
bed, night being invariably utilized for
shunting-which Londoners will scarcely
put up with. Under this novel arrange
ment each shunter, and in some cases
the signal men, are furnished with a
horn trumpet eleven inches in length,
having a reed inside the mouthpiece, the
whole being of very light construction.
The trumpet is carried by the shunter
slung over his left shoulder with a piece
Of cord, and hangs across the right hip.
1t is not at present stated whether or not
the use of the trumpet as a signal will
enable the railway authorities to dispense
with the sounding of the engine whistles,
which have already been the subject of
so much objection.-London Daily News.

IN". =. CARROLL. EDITOR

JAMES j. WEST, the controlling owner
OF the Chicago Times, has a remarkable
history. He Is an Ohio man and less
than 80 years of age. Seven years ago
he began to work for a Chicago publishing
house at a salary Of s. ner week. Two
years later he became manager of the
business and in the following year paid
SOC. 500 for one-fourth interest in the
house. His six years work have Noted
him 5000, 900. Clinton A. Snowden,
editor, in.chief of the Times, is a graduate
of the Chicago university. In 1872 he
was a reporter on Storey's staff. Three
years later he became city editor and was
rapidly advanced to the responsibilities Of
management. During his. administration
Canon Farrar preached his famous ser
mon on Hell" Snowden succeeded in
enlisting so many preachers IN discussion
Of the topic that he was enabled to lay
before Times readers columns and pages
of fresh and original news regarding that
highly tropical locality. Another stroke
of exceptional enterprise was the publica-
ton of a cablegram from London giving
all tho changes ia the text of the New
Testament at the time Of lis revision
West is still the publisher and Snowdcn
the managing editor Of the Mail, a
sparkling little. twilight paper published
in the lakeside metropolis.

REcoLLEcrIoss

As when a player, weary of the day,
Takes up his instrument end plays along.
First aimlessly, until unto some song,
Heard long ago, his fingers find their way
The old tune bringing memories which lay
Deep buried in the past, once glad and strong
lie fe"ls again those joys around him throng,
And wceps crewLile to think they cannot stay:
So ], a-weary with the passing hours,
In musing fell upon the name Of one,
Now dead and gone, who once was dear to me.
And recollection sweet as simmer showers
Came back, swift as the first faint CLEANS that
run.

a Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter Of 1879 l was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundm m neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, L was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W.. j.
Huntley, druggist, of L%ockport, 1 was induced
to try Hoods S%arsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily. becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' / do not know what IL NAV
have done for others, but l do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence of
my, gratitude 1 send these facts unsolicited,

who attempted to cure 1t bnt 1t spread with
almost Incredible raDidity, until the lower pOr-
of his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, Dlotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUrICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks a complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been

saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
child. perfectly well no repetition Of the disease

not succeed, and the sooner he starts

for him. Let others profit by this cx
