Elevators for Dwellings.

The ingenious plan proposed by q
Berlin inventor. of a simple and mex
pepsive elevator for private dwellings
in place of the ordinary staircase, has
attracted some attention as long felt
desideratum. 1t is on the principle of
the inclined railway. and the motive
power Is furnished by the city water.
which Is applied in the cellar; each
flight has its separate chair. 50 that, for
example, one person can ascend from
the first to the second story while an
other is on his way from the second to
the third, or still another is descending
from the fifth to the fourth. The chair,
being only of the width OF the human
body, requires but little space, and
still leaves free passage for any who
wish to walk up or down, instead Of
riding. It is set in motion by . simple
pressure upon one Of its arms, while
after It has been used it slides back to
the bottom step. its descent being
regulated In such q manner that the
carrying Of y passenger is q matter Of
entire safety. The motive power Is,
OF course, moro or less expensive, &C.
cording to the cost Of water, this being.
It Is stated. In Berlin. at the rate Of 3

TWO POTATO TOOLS.

Homemade COntrivances Which Save .
Good Deal Of Work.
In growing potatoes find a great
saving of labor and time in using q
potato pillow to dig the tubers and
a screen to sort them. l had the iron
beam of my single shovel-plow bent
SO as to lay the pillow nearly fiat; then
l Strengthened the shovel somewhat
and had bars riveted to it. Chains
drag behind the bars. This imple-
ment does good work if the cultivation
has been level; but if the ground is
badly ridged it does not bring all the
potatoes to the top The pillow had
been such useful implement to me
and to some of my neighbOrs. that I
thought 1 would slip down home
to my father -in-law's, some six miles
away, and do him a good turn for
many good ones he has done for me,
by throwing out his i've acres of pota-
toes; but to my great surprise and an
noyance, l found the potatoes SO deep
that when / gagged the pillow to run
under them, SO much earth poured
over it that the tubers were not all
brought into sight. I at first thought
l had a "two-story" hill, but l now
think that the depth of the tubers was
due to a clover sod and mellow cultiva-
ton with large shovels.
This year made screen. on &C.
count of having an unusual number of
small potatoes. first made a chute
with cross-bars, having openings be-
tween them, but potatoes too large to
pass the openings would lodge and
clog them. After cutting slots in a
salt barrel and revolving it like a
wheat screen, had a sheet of wire

with square meshes an inch and a
half in the clear. 1t was forty-eight

Atthis moment q sour-looking, black
haired man entered the shop and said
In sharp, coarse tones: madame Du-
foure. I beg that you will attend to the
business Of the shop instead of stand
ing chattering with strangers of whom
you know nothing
S0sthis was her husband! The poor
little woman. cOwed by his manner,
returned to her compton and looked
at the husband. to whom l remarked
that had finished my purchases. I
thought for a moment-this is her
husband, and she is doing her best to
steer the frail bark of her happiness
through the quicksands of a terrible
future. Shall I leave her thus,
strengthened in her attempt to do her
duty by her belief in dead mans per-
fidy, or shall Irender her life one long
dull regret by telling her the truth
and turn her respect for her husband
into hatred by a recital Of what has
evidently been his hellish treachery?
l thought for an instant, and then I
came away.

But we climbed up to heaven when We mounted

And the jack-plane and hand-saw dropped fol

How entered the house with skip and hop,
And, two steps at once, climbed the stairs to

The fire. at my voice. showed a ruddier fame;
And better than lamp-light to chase away
gloom,
The smile OF my Milly illumined the room.
There were beautiful views DER the uncovered

Away from the sound Of the street horses

With the air cool and pure at the height where
we dwelt,
And the troubles of others unknown and un-

DID HE DO RIGHT?
Trying Experience Of an American
War Correspondent

/ have all my life been accustomed
to act upon my own judgment, but l
am not going so much to tell you
story as to ask you whether did right
on one trying occasion.
The life of war correspondent is,
as you fellows very well know, in
many respects hard one. but the cor
respondent of a paper not unfrequently
sees more of what is going on in a
campaign than the soldier himself, and,
being comparatively unattached and
able at nearly all times to search
fruitful field for stirring incidents.
his mind rapidly becomes stored
with vast collection of incidents,
tragic and comic, humorous and seri-
Gus, dramatic and insignificant, which
too often crowd one another out of his
mind and only recur to him when
some special circumstance arises to
suggest them. The campaign of the
autumn and winter of 1885 in the
Balkan Peninsula, though short, was
not devoid of such incidents, and there
was one which has branded it indelibly
upon my mind. had been in Paris
when the war began and was engaged
by number of American newspapers
to go to the front as their correspond
ent.
We were merry crew in the corre-
spondent's tent, but there is something
singularly callous about a correspond

paign or two-they seldom get killed.

from Douai. and on the most gloomy

would sing to us snatches of his Breton

Grapes in open ground. which are

in cold weather especially the feed
of fowls should be dry. Whole or
cracked grain is better than fine meal.
It is better to give the gizzard some
thing to do rather than have it relax
from inaction. Give fowls access to
clean water at all times, and they will
drink all they need. but do not compel
them to take water in order to get their
necessary food.
Glass is expensive for hot-beds,
and those who prefer something
cheaper may use cotton cloth. giving
it two coats of boiled linseed oil. It
requires but little attention, is easily
handled. permits the heat and light to
enter, and does not allow the heat to
be radiated away at night as readily
as does glass. It also has the advan-
tage of reducing the cost of frames,
as the expensive window-sash need
not be used.

it is impossible to distribute it thinly

No matter how thinly the plants may
come up. the crop will cover the sur

RAILROAD SIGNALS.

RAILROAD SIGNALS.
| Their Meaning and Significance Is Ex'
| planned by the Standard Code.
The greatest civilizing agent in the
world, after the art of printing, is the
locomotive, and that term includes
the railroad and all it's appurtenances.
Without railroads, three-quarters OF
the United States would now be a
wilderness. and the same is true oil
great portions of other continents.
Every body travels on the railroad,
and railroad train is a familiar sight
that never grows old.
But how many of the millions whe
travel know what the railroad signals
mean? The majority do not bother
their heads about the matter, and a
large minority vaguely wonder why
there should be so much footing and
swinging of lanterns. all of which is
no doubt essential, but at the. same
time very confusing to the uninitiated
passenger.
Perhaps this article may serve to
clear up the mystery, as the data is
taken from the Standard Code" a
text book for railway men.
Red signifies danger"
Green signifies "caution-go slow
ly."
White signifies safety"
Green and white signifies ''stop at
flag stations for passengers or
freight"
One cap or torpedo on rail means
''stop Immediately"
Two caps or tOrpedoes on rail means
.'reduce speed Immediately and look
out for danger signal"
A train while running must display
two green flags by day and two green
lights by night, one on each side Of
the rear of the train.
After sunset, or when Obscured by
fog or other cause, must display
headlight in front and two red lights
in rear.
Two green flags by day and two
green lights by night, displayed in the
places provided for that purpose on
the front of an engine, denote that the
train is followed by another train run
ming on the same schedule and en-
titled to the same timetable rights as
the train carrying the signals.
Two white flags by day and two
white lights by night, carried in the
same manner, denote that the train is
an extra.
A blue flag by day and blue light
by night. placed on the end of car,
denotes that car inspectors are at work
under or about the car or train, and
must not be coupled to or remov ed
until the blue signal is removed.
Lamp signals are made "a follows
A lamp swung across the track Is
the signal to stop.
A lamp raised and lowered vertical
ly is the signal to move ahead.
J A lamp swung vertically in a circle
across the track, when the train is
standing, is the signal to move back.
A lamp swung vertically in a circle
at arms length across the track, when
the train is running, is the signal that
the train has parted.
A dag or the hand moved in any of
the directions given above will indicate
the same signal as given by the lamp.
The locomotive whistle signals are
composed Of short. quick sounds and
long sounds. In the following table. o
means short, quick sound; = means
long sound.

callOuS about 1t as she would nave me
believe. l asked her If might be SO
indiscreet as to ask her the history of
this event, as l had met Msieu Du-
rand and did not wish to have false
opinion of him. She told me that
when Maxine had been ordered to the
front he had come over from Arien-
ton, where he was then staying. and.
instead of coming to see her, had en-
gagged himself in a drunken brawl in
the cabaret of Pere Larreze, that
Pierre Dufoure had been present and
had seen him exhibit and read aloud
her last love-letters to him. There
was no doubt about this, for NJ. Du-
foure, whom she had since married,
had quoted to her long passages there
from. which left no room for doubt.
He had never written to her or made
any sign, and she had crushed him out
of her heart and married NJ. Dufoure.
True, NJ Dufoure was rather old. and
he himself, unfortunately. played part
in the drunken brawl with which
Maxine Durand had celebrated his
farewell to Douai. This was his one
fault. excepting, perhaps. certain
moroseness of temper. But she was
his wife now, and it was not for few
days, few weeks, q few months, .
few years, but for all her life. and so
she had sufficient self-respect to make
the best of it Yes, she admitted that
she had loved Durand. but he had
