A Te1erran,, operator,s Advice.


wish to say to the boys that are think
ting of learning telegraphing that they will
feel like kicking themselves if they ever
learn it.
I don't think there is class of men in
the United States that put in as many
hours of as hard work for as small pay as
the telegraph operator. And surely there
is no class of men that have half the re-
sponsibility of the railroad operator but
what gets nearly if not fully double their
pay.
Nearly all railroad Operators" work
twelve hours for day. And at stations
where but one operator is employed fifteen
hours is about an average day.
There are more railroad operators"
working now at $40 per month and under
than there are over that amount.
The average Operator" does not get but
little if any more than the unskilled track
laborer.
The bo@who wants to learn telegraph
ing will pay from s25 to 500 and spend
from one to two years learning, and then
be lucky to get job with no larger pay
than the track laborer
Boys, before you commence learning
telegraphing go to some old railroad teleg-
rapher and ask for his advice. Nine out
of every ten will advise you not to learn it.

Great Swimming Gath.

The greatest swimming bath in the
world is situated four miles from Helena,
Mont The building is about $50 feet long
by $50 feet wide, with a roof 100 feet high,
supported by buttresses in q single span.
The tank is 300 by 100 feet, at one end
about four feet deep. running to ten or
more at the other. Natural hot and cold
water pours over the huge precipice of
cyclopean masses of granite at one end,
about fifty feet wide and forty feet high.
The precipice is pierced by three large
openings, over which the water pours in
great sheets and is so artistically erected
that one would easily believe it to be a
series of natural falls. The flow is SO
large that the tank is replenished several
times day. The temperature is about so
dogs. A swim in it's deep waters is very
fine. The whole is lighted by day through
great areas of cathedral glass in different
tints, terra Gotta predominating. The
tank house is Illuminated at night by in
candescent ights.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

This part of Marble canyon, from Point
Retreat for thirty-fve miles down to the
Little Colorado, is by far the most beauti
full and interesting canyon we have yet
passed through. At Point Retreat the
marble walls stand perpendicularly SOC
feet from the waters edge. while the sand
stone above benches back in slopes and
cliffs to $500 feet high. just below this
the canyon is narrowest, being but little
over 800 feet from wall to wall.
AS we go on the marble rapidly rises till
it stands in perpendicular cliffs roo to soc
feet high, colored with all the tints of the
rainbow, but mostly red. In many places
toward the top it is honeycombed with
caves, arches and grottoes, with here and
there a natural bridge left from one crag
to another over some sidewash, making a
grotesque and wonderful picture as oul
little boats glide along this quiet portion
Of the river so many hundred feet below.
At the foot of these cliffs in many places
are fountains of pure sparkling water
gushing from the rock-in one place, Vas
sey's Paradise, several hundred feet up the
wall-and dropping among shrubbery,
ferns and flowers, some of which, even at
this time of year, are found in bloom

HOLIDAYS.


The question of holidays is becoming a
serious one in many ways. The most ser-
Gus thing is the growth of the idea of holt
day making. With large section Of soci
ETY. it amounts to simple restlessness
Johnson defined ''holy day" as "a time
that comes seldom!' But with this class
of persons it is the normal state of life. If
they are not having a holiday they are
contemplating one. They are unsettled
by the frequency of their holiday. They
are never at home except when they are
from home, SO that the very conception OF
home and rest becomes impossible to them
A few such persons find a spot which is al
ways grateful to them-a sort Of second
home; but the run of such people lose the
pleasure of habitation altogether and life
becomes a mere matter of locomotion.
They are never at rest save when they are
in motion.-New York Ledger.

A traveller on the London and North
western railway, while going southwark
from Edinburgh by the west coast route,
states that, noticing the great speed of the
train, he took the trouble to reckon what
it was. In the space of six miles he found
that it averaged eighty miles an hour. He
was sitting in compartment of an eight
wheeled coach, weighing about nineteen
tons, and notwithstanding the extraordi-
nary speed there was an entire absence of
oscillation, and the carriage is described as
being in state Of perfection. So far as
any motion of the carriage was concerned
it was impossible for the passenger to tell
whether he was going at the rate of eighty
miles an hour or eighteen.-New York

EVENING BREAD.

The Silly song of evenings blissful rest,
The ngth'ning shadows from the fading west.
Creep slowly DER the fields and forests green,
Till naught is left of natures changing sheen.
Dame Luna steals the brightness of the day,
And lowing kline Craze on their homeward way.
The wearied toeT from the polished plow
Looks on the sun and wonders how
The fleeing hours have flown SO soon,
To greet the silv'ry full orbeu moon
That slowly creeps from meath the eastern hill
And floods with peace the cotter's humble sill
The busy housewife spreads the evening meal
The bread is broken with hungry zeal.
zest that makes the fruit of labor sweet
The well titled loan, the full grained garnered
wheat,
Are lifes reward for every upturned clod
That Yields its increase from the mellowed sod
The stainless floor, the low matched roof
Make idle hours dumb moments stern reprOof
For wasted years that bring no lasting gain
To those who toll not, and yet reap in vain;
For harvest, where life'S wine and oil
Are culled from natures well titled sol.
The evening bread is sweet to those who tread
The burrows, where the crowdng weeds are dead.
No matted turf to clog the sharpened share
That turns the mold, that quick ming earth may
bear
The ripened grain and make our daily bread
A solace for the years when youth has fled.

Dear Sir:-Our mutual FRIEND Mr. Charles +.
Wingo, informs me that you desire my opinion
of the Otterburn Lithia and Magnesia Water. ]
am satisfied that it is of the finest waters in
this country for Atomic Dyspepsia, and the tests
have subjected it to have been numerous, but
always satisfactory, esteem it equally high in
disorders of the urinary organs. for several of my
cases of Kidney trouble have improved more
rapidly under the use of the Otterburn Water
than Bethesda or Buffalo Lithia, To prove my
appreciation, am daily using it in my practice
and have been much benefited by its use in my
own case, which is one of Atomic Dyspepsia.
