After nightfall, along the 5000 m1le. -
the CanadiansP Pacific railroad, no matter
how bare the prairie nor how wild or desc
late the mountain or lake shore, any one
standing on the rear platform can see every
few miles lantern in the hands of a track
walker, who, after the train passes, re-
sumes his duty along the track. 1t is
rule on this road that after the passage of
each train the roadway shall be carefully
inspected and particularly the bridges, for
fear that some spark from the locomotive
may have set fire to them.
Along hundreds of miles between Ottawa
and Winnipeg, over the prairies of Assini-
boia and Alberta and through the noun
tain ranges far west, the humble hut of
the railroad track repairer or guard is
often the only human habitation that is
seen for long stretches. In the wild region
north of Lake Superior one sees these log
cabins every few miles. Often tae en-
ployee has a family, who live with him in
this almost uninhabited country, practical
ly cut off from human society.
The log cabins are only one story high,
and very low at that. There is no sign of
garden near them, and all supplies are
brought by the trains. Sometimes it is
necessary for the men to travel twenty or
thirty miles to perform task assigned
them, and for these journeys they use the
railroad bicycle, contrivance with two
wheels to fit the rails. A seat is rugged be-
tween them and lever imparts motion to
the small cogwheels, which rapidly turn
the wheels on the track. The men can
easily travel twelve or fifteen miles an
hour on these little machines. When they
hear a train coming, off they jump, take
their bicycles off the track, and no sooner
has the train passed than they resume their
iourneY.-NeW York Sun

The Noisy Cabmen of Paris.

The noise of the streets in Paris would
cause an American to fancy himself at
home.on the Fourth of July. The average
Partisan is no more to be trusted with a
whip than he is with a locomotive whistle
From dawn till dawn the cracking of cab
mems whips makes the air tremulous with
resonant agitation. Every man who drives
a horse carries a long whiplash and cracks
it necessarily. Crack, spat, spatter, spat-
ter, crack, crack, crack go the whips in a
never ending chorus all around you wher-
ever you walk, and apparently in your
apartment when you try to sleep.
If you want to imagine what it sounds
like, just you fancy. every third or fifth
man in New York going about firing giant
torpedoes all day and night. These terri
BILE infections, the drivers, are quite pic
turesque. They wear red waistcoats as a
rule, and invariably sport tall hats of some
shiny material that looks like patent leath-
err. Their hatbands are often of metal sill
vered or glided. They are a pestiferous
lot, as noisy with their mouths as with
their whiplashes, and though ! had no
quarrel with any, l heard of or saw quar-
rels between them and their fares on all
sides. They have no silly scruples against
battle of tongues with woman, and the
American ladies in Paris were often quite
terrorized by these noisy malcontents.-

The Political Mrs. Grundy.

The political Mrs. Grundy is a phantom
conjured by the apprehension of a politi-
clan of what he supposes to be the opinion
of the people or of a party. The inevitable
result of the apprehension is to regard that
general opinion as mean and unintelligent,
SO that the politician is often trying to con-
form to a standard that he despises. In
stead of asking what does the public ad-
vantage require and what ought to be done,
he wonders what he can do that will alien
ate the least votes. Craftsmanship, Ae
says, consists in doing what you can, not
what you would.
But the fault of that apothegm is its
vagueness. You know what you would,
but nc man until he tries knows what he
can. 1t is certain that you can do safely
what is generally approved. gut the vital
condition of progress is that somebody
shall go first. The forward step is not
generally approved until it is taken, and
in arguing that it ought not to be taken
until it is generally approved, you forget
that taking it is the way to secure APP
prevail.
The important point is not what Mrs.
Grundy says, but what she ought to say

A gentleman who held a judicial posi-

Fan, favorite dog of mine, always went
to court with me and sat on a chair by my
side. I had tame monkey, too, which
Fan was very fond of. | used to couple
them together, and they played about the
grounds very happily.
One day l expected some friends to
luncheon. | was in court, and somehow
or other had left Fan at home that day
AS | was rather late at my work, my
friends arrived before | came home, and
seeing Fan, they dressed the monkey up in
his red jacket and blue trousers, and fas-
tening his chain around the dogs neck,
with Il card tied around it, on which was
written, "Mulligatawny is getting cold"
told Fan to go to her master.
Well, Fan set off, the monkey running
by her side and trying in vain to hold her
back by hanging to the chain. was busy
writing down the evidence, and took no
notice of Fan jumping up into her usual
position upon the chair, not even looking
at her, but my attention was soon attracted
by the monkey, who, in full uniform. seat
ed himself on my table and put one hand
into the ink, while with the other he seized
the pen was writing with, to my conster-
nation and to the amusement of the crowds
of natives with which the court was
thronged. | need not say was obliged to
adjourn the court after that and go off to

The most experienced railroad men. feel
that the possibilities of steam practice are
nearly reached-much greater speed is not
practicable. A maximum of ninety miles
an hour, with running speed of sixty to
seventy, is all that can he hoped for under
the very best conditions which can be pro-
vided The limitations are numerous and
they are we'll known to all engineers. The
maximum speed of which a locomotive is
capable has not been materially increased
in number of years. The schedule time
has been shortened principally by cutting
down grades, Strengthening curves, filing
up rayines and replacing wooden struc-
lures by permanent ones of iron and stone;
by the use of heavy rails, safer switches,
improved methods of signaling, the inter
locking switch and signal system, the abo-
iition of grade crossings; in short, by i'm
proyementg in detail and management
which permit q higher speed on a more ex-
tended section of road BECAUSE Of greater
safety and the greater degree of confidence
inspired in the engine driver.-Frank j.

Old English Tavern Customs.

The custom of naming different rooms is
familiar to all who have read our Eliza
bethan writer's. Who does not at once re-
call those immortal scenes at the "Boar'e
Head" in which that magnificent old
scoundrel Jack Falstaff played so promi
nent part? How the madcap prince and
companion Poins so sadly perplexed the
unfortunate Francis with his everlasting
canon, anon, sir" and his interjected or
ders to Look down into the Pomegran-
ate" 1t was customary, it seems, to have
small windows or loopholes between the
various apartments, for what reason it
were perhaps hard to say, unless to facili-
tate that interchange of compliments Gus
temary between parties who were using
different chambers in the same tavern.
These courtesies usually took the form
of the present of a piece of sugar wrapped
up in white paper, which the walters kept
ready to hand. Our forefathers were fond of
correcting the acidity of their wine by this
addition, and it was quite the correct
thing to send by the drawer one of these
packets to the neighboring- apartments if
any friends or acquaintance were there

The Cultivation of the Tomato.

The flavor of the tomato depends much
upon the manner OF culture, and one may
be as critical in the matter as In the flavor
of strawberry or a peach. On cold, heavy
coils and allowed to trail on the earth, the
fruit is watery and insipid, as well as in
tested with worms. Select the Warmest
and lightest soil possible, sst the plants
far enough apart for the free access of sun
and air and provide trellis or tie them to
stakes as fast as growth requires. Over
production, too, if allowed, will be dis
tinct loss in quality and appearance,
Eaten raw as a salad, stewed, baked,
esealloped, halyed and broiled in crumbs
like an oyster, canned for winter use, OF
made into soups, eatsups and pickles
what other vegetable offers greater oE
pleasanter variety to the palate? 1t is GER
tainly good enough. to merit some pains in
its cultivation. Boston Transcript

POOR AND YET RIcF9.

No wealth on earth except that Godlike gtft,
happy nature and unbrokeil health
And sweet contented heart thoughts which
can lift
The soul to heav'n itself, if this be wealth.
No joy on earth except it be to watch
The ev'ning crimson tingeing earth and sky:
Or burden of the wild birds song to catch
When scented night winds hum their lullaby.
No rank on earth except his rank who stands
Free pure before his God and asks to know
That perfect justice at His mighty hand
Omniscient mercy only can bestow.
No hope ON earth except that time shall free
His soul at last to pass beyond deaths portal.
Where wealth and joy and rank and hope shall

Simple Cure for Ringworms.

For the removal of ringworms there is a
remedy that is infallible. 1t is the milk
from the stem of a fresh fig The milk of
a lettuce stalk is also said to be good for
roughnesses and discolorations of the skin.
The simplest old fashioned remedies are
very often the best for a variety of toilet
purposes, and though not invariably in
fallible by any means, should always be
tried, at least, by prudent woman before
having recourse to patented remedies of
various sorts, which may bs very injurious.

Success at College and Aftcrward.
While excellence in the military academy
is a desirable thing to aim at, it is we'll TO
bear in mind that the ratings of that in
stitution are not always maintained in
actual experience. Indeed, its appraise-
ments are frequently reversed In the after
life of its pupils. Lee, it is true, was the
second in his class at graduation, but Joe
Johnston, who was at least us able a com
mander, was thirteenth, and Longstreet
was fifty-fourth, while on the Union side
": B. Franklin and Q. A. Gilmore were
first in their respective classes and Mo
Clellan second, yet Thomas was only
twelfth, Grant twenty-first and Sheridan
thirty fourth.
As p rule, the men who carried off the
honors in West Point failed 20 hold their
