Waiting for a Railway Collision.

''Ours is a profession that tries mems
SOULS" said train dispatcher. ''Not-
withstanding that in late years the
different railways have adopted rules
which thoroughly systematize the busi-
ness, even with all the safeguards
little bit of carelessness or dereliction
OF duty is liable to cause trouble, and
not only loss of property, but in many
instances is attended with loss or life.
81 remember some years ago when /
had charge of trains on the Southern
road, where telegraph Offices were few
and far between, of giving an order to
an operator at certain station to hold
the north-bound passenger train for
orders, so that might help the south
bound passenger train to make its meet
ing point, the latter being somewhat
late. The operator repeated the hold
ing order, for which 1 gave him %. X
then gave the south-bound train an
order to use some Of the north bound
trains time to make the meeting point.
Instead of holding the north-bound
train for orders. the operator let it go
by him. The road was crooked, and as
both trains were between telegraph
stations I started to walk the floor and
wait until 1 should hear Of their COM
ing together. The suspense was terrible
almost uniting me for my other duties.
AS good luck would have it, the north
bound train, which had undisputed
right of the road, was delayed before
reaching the meeting point. When the
first train reached telegraph station I
felt relieved. but the strain had been so
terrible OH my nerves that 1 was not
good for much for several days. and
the experience will ever remain in my
mind"

A Puzzle.

OLD Nathan was out in the garden
One beautiful hower-sweet day,
When Dorothy, golden-haired maiden,
Came pensively wand'ring that way.
''And isn't this very fine weather?
never saw finer" said he.
But she made reply: why, think it
A cheerlessa morn as could be-"
"As cheerl ssi" repeated old Nathan,
Half in doubt if he'd heard her Alright,
Then he muttered: 'fShe's daft" for be
knew not
She had quarreled with Robert last night
The day was departing; its sunshine
Had vanished; the wind whlstled shrill;
The birds hurried home to their nestlings,
And the air grew qnite heavy and chill,
The gardener fastened to shelter
His tender young plants, when again
Dolly passed him-this time with light
footsteps
And she called in the merriest strain:
20, isn't the weather Just lovely?"
When her face fairly shone through the
mist.
"She's daft,'' said old Nathan. He knew
not
The lovers had met and kissed.

has an annual output Of $500, ,000; $50

every year make 50, 5000 worth of
stock. Sixteen firms in Wilmington,

S2,7O0,0 600 worth Of stock. New York
city and Brooklyn have twelve manu-
factories, and the annual output is
S1,6O0,O00 by 100 hands. Thirty
places In Massachusetts, employ 1877

stock Is $3,610,000 The total annual
product of the United States Is S21,-

Thirty-two manufactures and 220O

The Schools OF Greece.

There Is a visible Greece and an III
visible Greece, and the visible Greece
is a hot bed Of propagaldism. Educa-
ton is the weapon she IS using with
immense power i'll every country which
she hopes to call her own. There are
large schools carried on vigorously at
Smyrna, Constantinople, Salonica, Mt.
Athos, Jannina, Kozana (Macedonia);
in Crete, and in many islands of the
Egean. The Greeks are well aware
that in the end intelligence wins the
day. When the crisis comes educated
men will control matters.
These schools have been established
and are supported by private funds,
given mostly by Greeks who have grown
wealthy outside their own country.
They are So many frontier Tortresses
which are all the more powerful be-
cause they employ weapons of peace.
The Turk has no counter weapon ex-
cept that kind Of oppression that gives
more character every day to the invlsi.
BILE Greece. 1t is needless to say that
this propagandism has an immense re-
dictionary effect on the visible Greece.
and all over the land may be heard the
ring of new forged weapons in her in

Edison in an Emergency.

Soon Edison's mechanical skill be-
came 81 noted in the eff ;e that he was
made superintendent of the repair shop.
1t was not long before the value of his
services Was fully shown. The several
telegraph companies then In existence
the Franklin, Bankers and Brokers'
Southern and Atlantic and Atlantic
and Paciic-were using the Page
sounder, the sole right to which was
claimed by the Western Union COM
pany. Owing to the Western Unions
success in a patent fight over the Page
sounder, there came a time when an
Injunction was obtained sllencing all
saunders of that type in the hands of
rivals and practically putting stop to
our business.
Edison was called into the presidents 8
office and the situation explained. For
long time he stood chewing his
tobacco, looking first at the sounder in
his hand and then falling into brown
study. at length he picked up sheet
of tin used as "back'' for manifold
ing on thin sheets of paper. aud began
to TWIST and cut 1t into queer shapes;
meanwhile we stood around looking on.
Not word was spoken. Finally
Edison tore off the Page ''sounder" on
the instrument before him. and SUBJ
stituting his bit Of tin began working.
1t was not so good as the patented
arrangement discarded, but it worked.
In four hours hundred such devices
were IN use over cur lines, and what
would have been ruinous interruption
to our business was avoided.
