Of special notice. Inssmuch as his posi-

quentiy trains called wild do not run on

warning than the whistle. Add to this the
fact that it is impossible to see a great dis
tance in either direction from the point of

view of all this, the fact that not single

speaks in high terms of his faithfulness
and vigilance to duty. A few days since
workmen of the electric railway in hanging
the trolly wire across the track, left it
lower than it should have been, and only
the forethought Of Mr.. C. IN telegraphing
word Of warning prevented one or more
freight brakemen from being swept into
eternity. A gate is sadly needed here. In
fact one has been promised, and it is to be
hoped that it will be in position before the

The Home M1gazine.
When you take your little folks out
for a ride or u walk. dress them in u
manner that will secure TO them at least,
IA little comfort. Bear in mind that their
little bodies are made of the same ma
terial AS your own, and much more SEN
sitive to heat and cold. Do not forget
that the shutting out of the cool, fresh
air by means of heavy and burdensome
clothing, will In little time cause them
to almost burn with heat and finally to
relax to a degree that is always denoted
BY fretfulness, lack of interest in every

mothers be wise: When will they
see aud realize that the little
punches of lace and velvet that are
squeezed into the smallest space posi-
bic, in order To give plenty of room to
older ones, are real children with real
feelings, with real souls, and that they
