Learn to- Forgive.

Learn how 10 forgive. Do not carry
an unforgiying spirit with you through
all your life; it will hurt You more than
anything else. 1t will destroy the hap
piness of many around you, yet its chief
feeding ground will be found your own
heart. You hate your neighbor. Yon-
der is his dwelling, one hundred and if
ty yards away. You pass by wood fire ;
you pluck half-consumed brand from
it, flaming and cleaning, and thrusting
it under your garment to hide it, you
start for your neighbor's dwelling to burn
it. Who gets the worst of il? You find
your garments on fire, and your own
fiesh burned before you can BARN your
neighbor. So is he who carries an un-
forgiving spirit in his bosom. 1t stings
his own soul like an adder shut up there.
| know of some who call themselves
christians who are miserable because of
their own revengefulness. Forgive your
enemies and get down on your knees and
pray for them. and salvation will come
into your own soul like food. "Father,
forgive them" Sweet prayer and blessed
example!

"Never." said an old resident Of the
village. s'have l known Of so many peo-
ple going over the falls as during the
past six months. During that time
some eight or nine persons have been
known to pass over, three OF which have
been deliberate suicides. 1t is a source
OF wonder to many people living here
why persons will come from q distance
to Niagara apparently TO commit suicide.
The press dispatch sent out from Bing-
hamton under the impression that the
last suicide was a Miss Mead, of that
place. says that the young lady visited
this place 4 short time ago and has been
strangely fascinated with Niagara ever

impression when first looking upon the
rapids OF falls. Only a few evenings
since your correspondent heard clergy

reaching the center of Goat Island she

Right Temperature Tor clrurnins

A butter maker, IN an address before
a meeting of New York dairymen. along
with other sensible remarks. said: 1T is
almost impossible 10 churn cream from
any two dairies at the same tempera-
furc." In this he struck the keynote 20
churning. There lisa difference in dairies
as well as in individual COWS. The speak
er said he churned at IS degs- in eighteen
minutes, while neighbor did his churn-
ing at CO degs in twenty minutes. Maj.
Alvord places the range of churning
temperatures from IS 10 GS degs. Some
dairies require one point and some anoth-
ssr between these extremes Every dairy
man must decide for himself by his own
thermometer. The time of year. tie
distance either way the COWS are from
calving. the feed, the breed and other
conditions. perhaps some not known or
thought of. may vary the required tenn
perature for churning. Too nigh tenn
perature makes the butter come too soft.
and too low temperature makes ''slow
churning." perhaps imperfect separation
of the butter from the milk. There ap-
pears to be a medium point where the
butter giobules are just soft enough to
cohere readily. This is the point to be
aimed at And care should be taken
not to have the Temperatures rise or fail
while churning. Sometimes people be-
Gin at too low a temperature and churn

4 NEW SAFETY DEVICE.


Txp~rimcnts with n New and Apparently
Useful Tsalsroad Signal
The trial Of the new automatic block
railroad is,1al took place on the Pitts
burg and Western railroad. Between
fifty and one hundred prominent rail-
road officials and electricians had as
seubIei on tho trucks opposite the expo
sition. The weather. wet and cold as it
was. could not have been worse for cleo
trie.al experiments In addition the en-
zine which the inventors had cunteln-
plated using and had rugged up for the
occasion was az the last moment sent
out on the regular business Of the Pitts
lnrrr and Western. and they were under
the necessity of hastily rigging up an
other. The apparatus was IN very 5ad
condition in consequence of this haste.
but still all the tests were interesting.
The first trial made was that Of attain
moving on a single track and protecting
itself in front and rear by means Of the
danger signals. As the brush, connected
with batteries. touched the conductor OF
the signal apparatus. danger Gigns were
instantly shown in the front and in the
rear of the train. The experiments were
especially interesting owing to their
graphic character and to the clear and
vivid explanations Of the inventors. One
Of the advantages Of this autocratic sig
nal is that If anything occurs to the bat
teries, throwing them out Of order, the
signals instantly show danger and the
engineer is at once warned either of the
approach Of train in a certain block, or
of great reason for caution in his move
ments. Experiments were also made IL
lustrating the manner in which train
on a single track could protect itself in
front and in rear. and how a train on
double track could protect itself in the
rear
The most novel test, however. was one
where the approach of two trains on the
same track was shown, and their stimuli
taneous protection in both front and
rear. As the two trains rapidly neared
each other, the danger signal all at once
flashed up in front Of them. and they
were quickly brought 20 q standstiil,
thus preventing a collision. Then as
one or the other train would move away,
the signal would give notice to the other
to come on. and they could thus be
worked in the neighborilood of each
other with perfect freedom.
The inventors, Messrs. T. d. Williams
and J. 5. Lacock. of the Western Union
Telegraph company. were met yesterday
by railroad men and electricians. some
Of whom expressed the belief that the
invention would revolutionize the signal
service of the railroads. No company
has yet been organized for the manipu-
lation of the patent, but it is understood
that one viii shortly be formed. An
offer Of $3.50. 900 for the patent is now
being considered. Pittsburg Dispatch.
