A railway accident happened recently
which might have been prevented if
conductor had applied the power brake,
which was at his command, instead Of
putting on the hand brake Conductors
have got SO into the habit Of thinking
that they must pull the bell rope when
it is necessary to make an emergency
stop that they are likely to forget that
the immense power of the air brake can
be applied from the car as well as from
the engine. Even with pneumatic or
electric connection with the engine,
which is SO much surer and quicker than
a bell rope, there is theoretical advan-
tage in applying the brake direct from
the passenger car, for there is only one
operation to be performed instead of
two, as when the engineer has to act
after being signaled by the conductor.
Where the conductors valve is made
accessible from any point in the car by
means of a cord running the whole
length this advantage is certainly appre-
ciable in every case. AS the necessity
of making an emergency stop comes up
very frequently in the experience Of a
conductor or brakeman there would
seem to be no certain way of changing
their mental habits in this respect ex-
cept by putting them through course
of training, ON the same principle that
shopmen are trained to respond to an
alarm of fire.-Railroad Gazette.

Airy Rooms for working Girls.

The Metropolitan Bell Telephone com
pany has just completed arrangements
for the benefit of the girls in its employ.
A large sunny sitting room has been
provided, with wide windows, affording
lovely river and harbor views. Turkish
rugs cover the floor and lounges and
rocking chairs invite repose Three large
tables are laden with CUPS, saucers,
plates, spoons, sugar and milk, while be-
hind two immense urns stands woman
supplying tea and coffee to those who
wish either. All this is free, and the
telephone girls at lunch in their hand
some room present the appearance Of
boarding school pupils.
Besides the noon hour each operator
has two recesses a day known as ''re-
liefs." The Central" then makes herself
comfortable with book or fancy work or
more often catches little nap.
One portion of the dressing room is di-
vided into lockers. every girl having one
to herself. All this is in sharp contrast
to the seni-dark basement, the rows of
pegs, with dangling hats and sacks, and
the lunches eaten from brown paper bags
and swallowed in conjunction with close
air and tepid water, with which most
working girls are familiar.-New York

THE CHECK REIN.
Do Not Use It when It Is Unneess-

Do Not Use 1t when 1t Is Unneces-

We are not going to wage indiscrimi-
nate warfare againt the check rein, for
we know too well its usefulness gener-
ally, and, under certain circumstances,
its absolute necessity, but for the hum
dredth time record our earnest protest
against its indiscriminate abuse. In
ninety cases out of a hundred those who
apply the side or over check to their
harness cannot give you any intelligent
reason for its use, further than that it
was with the harness when they bought
it, and it is fashionable to have it.
Every other horse ycu will meet with

Many owners and drivers of horses will
confess that their animals work better

them for looks. What mistaken ideal
All men admire high style if it is natural,

A Saratoga Belle.

A Saratoga correspondent writes that
the belle of the springs this year was
Miss Julia Morosini She rides down
Broadway in tailor made habit of light
gray, silk hat setting squarely on the
coil of her dark brown hair There is
nothing spirituelle about Miss Moro
sini, . he adds. ''She is well put up, and
there is plenty of avoirdupois. She sits
her plump chestnut mare with great dig
nifty, and looks straight ahead between
the mares ears. At exactly the proper
distance the groom in a buff coat, cordu-
roy knee breeches and top boots. follows
upon stout bay gelding. He has a
cockade on his hat and he carries a riding
whip braced against his side at just the
correct angle. When Miss Morosini
trots the groom trots. and when Miss
Morosini canters the groom canters. The
chestnut mare and the bay gelding are
usually allowed to walk down Broad
way between the hotels at dress parade
gait. When she turns into a side street
Miss Morosini touches the mare, and
away the procession goes.
''Guests on the piazzas have noted that
the groom is young and handsome, with
fine Hibernian tint on his smooth
cheeks. Miss Morosini's eldest sister is
said to be travelling in Europe The
fresh faced groom is in no danger. Miss
Julia will never wound the family pride
as Virginia did. Miss Julia is her fathers
own girl"

Mrs. winslow's Success.

Mrs. Erving Winslow comes back from

violets clings to her draperies; she tip
tits her chin, throws her eyes, slopes her
shoulders in the most graceful way and
never raises her voice above the gentle
conversational pitch. Her only prop

not stick a pin in the Ibsen balloon she

A Delightful Surprise.

"A surprise which was prepared by the
emperor and empress for the Archduchess
Valerie on the eve Of her wedding is now
being talked of in Vienna. Our corre-
spondent there tells MS that Baron Be
zecny, the director of the Court theatre,
was asked 10 invite famous Vienna
quartet to come to Ischli on July 30, and
to tell no one Of their coming. From the
station they were taken to the house of
the master Of ceremonies, put into a
room by themselves and given four copies
of love song and accompaniment.
This song which bore neither the
name of the poet nor the composer, they
were asked to study. An ample repast
was sent them. and they were directed to
remain there until they were sent for.
At night. when the fires on the mount
aims were ont and the moon shone bright
over woods and hills, they were led TO
the imperial villa and placed under a
group of trees opposite the front terrace.
At signal agreed upon they We're to
begin their song. They heard talking in
the apartment which opens out upon the
balcony.
Presently the empress appeared with
her arm around her daughter. Close be-
hind them followed the emperor with the
bridegroom. As they stood silent on the
balcony gazing ut the truly beautiful
scenery, Prince Lohenlohe gave the sig
nal. and from beneath the trees rose
sweetly the music Of the love song which
nad been composed by the young bride.
Her eyes overfowed with grateful tears
as she looked from her father to her
mother The emperor afterward went
below and gave each singer handsome
diamond scarfpin. thanking them at the
same time for their rendering Of the
song London News.

Although a mare may not yield much
milk at the time of her foal being taken
from her, yet that which she does give is
of very nutritious quality, provided
she is in good health; the loss must, con

hence good keep is essential at this crisis.

WORDS or ADVICE TO YOUNG WoM-
EN- WHO WOULD BE DOCTORS.

Nellie Bly's Financial Success-The Pei
crime Has Come Again-A Delightful
surprise-smaiI Wages Of women-she
Belongs IN America.
A wonderful change in respect to fe-
male labor has rapidly developed within
the last half century A vast number Of
the common schools have passed into the
hands Of women, with manifest gain
to the cause Of education, as well as to
that of the sex. Women fill clerkships
in almost every department of industry.
At least as many women as men stand
behind counters. They have largely
taken possession Of the lighter forms Of
labor introduced by the utilizing of
electricity.
The foundation of colleges for women
and the opening to them Of some Of the
older colleges have prepared the way for
their introduction into the various pro
fessions. We already have successful
female lawyers, ministers. artists and
especially doctors.
Some Of our female doctors stand on
an equality with their medical brethren
in culture, reputation and success, and
the tendency toward this profession on
the part of young women now gradual
ing at our higher literary institutions is
one to be encouraged.
The natural instincts of women are in
this direction tits this that makes them
so much at home in the sick room, and
such angels Of mercy in military hos
pitfalls. The field for them is broad and
remunerative. They need to accompany
the foreign missionary everywhere. They
are best suited to minister to their own
sex and to children generally.
But they must prepare themselves
most thoroughly for the work, adding to
the discipline Of the college the fullest
mastery of medicine that can be fur
nished by first class medical schools
They cannot rely upon any feeling Of
gallantry here. 1t must be seen that
they are the equals Of their brothers
Further, we are sorry to say that it is
not infrequently the case that members
of the medical profession are at present
unequal to their responsibilities 1t has
been too easy to get medical diplomas.
School has competed against school. to
the injury of the profession and the peril
of the sick. Our best medical schools
recognize and deplore this condition of
things, and are doing what they can to
improve it.
We say, therefore. to young ladies
that the field is open to them, with the
pioneer work already done. But let none
enter it who is not suited to the work
by native tact. self reliance and what
may be called physical and moral hardi-
hood.-Youth's Companion.

In comparing these two methods the
first fact is that the hot method is more
easily executed and more rapid than the
other. The horn when it is dry is so
hard that it is difficult to cut with the
instruments, and consequently more time
and exertion are required on the part Of
the workman than when it is previously
softened by the application Of heat, and
quite as much injury is frequently done
to the hoof by insufficient pairing as when
too much has been cut away.
Another advantage of hot shoeing is
that the shoe thus applied is in much
more intimate and solid relation with
the hoof than when applied cold. Ex-
periments on this head show that more
than double the number Of shoes were
lost by cold than by hot application
Although at the present time almost
every one comedies the superiority of
hot shoeing, still exceptional cases exist
when the cold method is preferable
for example, when the hoof is naturally
very thin or rendered so by excessive
pairing; or this may also occur when the
dHlindl Has uetH lOICcu W ~ DdielOOt.
In such cases the surface no longer
offers sufficient protection to the ten
sis, and these may be easily injured by
the heat. In these cases the clever
workman can turn and adjust the shoe
SO that very little trial is necessary in
order to insure a proper fit, and when
he finds it necessary to apply the shoe
this is done with a very small amount of
heat, and only for an instant's time
