Railroad Station Ind ic a tor

The railway companies which first
took up the crude form of "A railway
station indicator in England have at
length succeeded in evolving an APP
pliance Of the utmost prdcticability
and value. The apparatus as tested
in its latest form is automatic, and
neither the conductor nor the driver
is in any way responsible for its ef-
fective working. The machinery OF
the Indicator is so arranged that the
glass case containing the names Of
the stations can be placed either in
the center of the roof Of each COM
partment or in the intervening
partitions. an alternative which
arises out OF the peculiar construc-
tion OF English cars, in which the
seats run right across the car, with
partition at the back OF each and
a door at each side Of the car. The
cards are attached TO an endless
chain carried on two shafts. Each
car possesses a complete apparatus.
As showing the perfection to which
the mechanism has been brought, it
il stated that the finer parts OF the
apparatus withstood in an engineer 5
shop the severe test Of one million
and half revolutions, and that no
appreciable wear was found in any
section Of the machine. = Chicago

ARCHERY FOR BEGINNERS.
The Most Fun Of Al 10 In Making the
Outfit Yourself.

Archery is one of the most fasci-
mating of outdoor sports. For devel-
oping the muscles il has the advan-
tage over baseball because girls as
well as boys may indulge in it.
Almost any well seasoned and
springy wood, straight-grained and
free from knots will do for the bow.
Lance and ironwood are employed by
professional bow-makers, but hickory,
red oak and white ash answer very
well, and the writer has known good
ones made from white maple and
even poplar.
The rule that the bow should be
the same height MS the person foI
whom il is intended is good one.
Having found suitable strip OF
wood of this length, whittle it down
to the right thickness. The inside
OF the bow should be rounded and
the back fiat. The only way of know
ing how much 10 trim off is by trying
the bow from time TO time, until ii

American Meat in England

1t will startle some people TO learn
that il no American meat is imported
into the London market for two days
the price OF all kinds of meat goes
up. Moreover, it IS also a fact that
il the American supply was entirely
cut of we should have famine prices
in force, so large is the quantity con-
sumed. One reason why English
butchers buy American cattle is be-
cause they are sent over in such good
condition. At home the farmer :
cattle come 10 town in such bruised
state that the farmers lose by the
loss Of appearance and the butchers
by the damage done TO the meat.
The American palace cars, on the
other hand, are so well appointed
that the beasts actually improve by
travelling, and arrive here without a
spot upon them.-l -lLondon Figaro.

Peanuts.

They say peanuts are extraordina-
rily nutritious, and that, though al
most wholly indigestible raw or roast
ed, when reduced to meal and boiled
or otherwise thoroughly cooked they
are readily assimilated. Owing to
heir low proportion OF sugar and
starch, they may serve To enlarge in
most welcome degree the bill of fare
" persons under treatment for obe-
,ity. In other words, they are an
deal antifat diet. From two points
II view their value as food is OF inter
est to Americans. In the first place,
would ii be desirable or practicable
to introduce the moral and grits
here? Secondly, is this new discov-
United States pcanutsY The later
question is likely TO he answered in
the negative, innsmuch as this kind
II crop can be grown and gathered
in Africa moro cheaply than in this
country. OF course, rs n matter of
fact the peanut is not nut at all.
IL is sort OF pea-an annual that has
TO be planted every year and dies in
the fall. The blossom OF the plant
puts forth little appendage, which
makes its way into the moist earth
and swclls out below ground into n
pod that has from one TO four peas in
it, When they are ripe, they are
pulled up, stacked in the field TO dry

Poison Oak and Poison Ivy.

The poison oak is properly the low
form Of the poison ivy, and both
grow abundantly in the northern
suburbs OF New York. The one is n
high climber, while the other con-
tents itself near the grounds. The
two are difficult TO distinguish, and
are often perversely confused with
the harmless and beautiful Virginia
creeper The two poisonous plants
have their leaves in groups Of three,
while the leaf Of the Virginia creeper
is divided into five and sometimes
more leaflets. The berry OF the poison
is white and waxy, and the autumn
coloring Of the leaf is very beautiful.
Many persons handle the poisonous
plants without i'll effects. William
Hamilton Gibson has written some
rhymes TO help his readers TO dis
tinguish between the harmless Nir.
ginia creeper and the other two. 4
simple way TO remember the differ
ence between the Virginia creeper
and the poison ivy is this Ifthe vine
has five leaves, corresponding TO the
five fingers Of your hand. you may
handle it; il il has only three leaves,
you may not handle it.-[New Ybr

The Magnetic Poles.

Close investigation OF the phenom-
ena OF magnetism has proven that
the north and south magnetic poles
are neither identical with the geogra-
phical poles, but that they are in the
neighborhood OF the earth's axis OF
rotation. In the case OF the north
magnetic pole the exact location is
well known-at ninety-seven degrees
west longitude and seventy and one
half degrees north latitude. The To-
cation OF the south magnetic pole is
not known to a certainty, but is be-
lieved to be near 80 degrees east
longitude and seventy-fve degrees
South latitude. - lNewYo.k Telegram.

New York CITY. March 20,
1894.

Ed. News: Yesterday was Eas-
ter and was a very rainy and disa-
greeable day; consequently our
peregrinations and observations
were much limited. Notwithstand-
ing the disagreeabie weather peo-
pie turned out to church by thou
sands if for no other purpose but to
display their spring suits. On
Easter here all doff the winter wear
and put on their spring suits. 1t is
a sight to a Big Ssndian to go on
Fifth Avenue here on Easter fore
noon and see the elegance of dress
there from the genuine dude to the
gray-haired sage moving along os-
,ensibly to church, but as it ap-
peared to me, simply wing with
each other in elegance Of attire.
We went to hear ReY. G. H.
Parkhurst, Presiden. Of the Assoc
citation for the prevention Of crime
in this city. You have all heard
and read much of him. There is
Infinitely more said Of him here
than of Talmage. His church is
atthe beginning of Madison Square.
The exterior of the church is not
imposing by any means, is rather
old looking and low, except the
spire, which runs up to an immense
height. When you ale inside you
find two floors and finely furnished,
but not specially elegant. All the
pess are held by the congregati en-,
so YOU are kindly invited to stand
up until services begin and if any
of the regular congregation fail to
come you get seat, and if they
iont they kindly extend the same
ehfistian tenderness to you in al
owing you to continue to stand
during services. All the church
was beautifully decorated with
flowers, and "oh, woman, love-
ly woman" generally admired on
all occasions but when with
the latest spring suit on,
large bouquet and both hands full
of flowers she comes rushing on q
crowded street car with that style
of strut ana gaud which seem to
cay. ''see me now" about three
men are required to get up to give
her room to sit down properly.
When she gets fixed" she locks
up 81 YOU with a disguised and sug-
gestiye look as though che would
feel better if you would just draw
yourself up off the floor to the
strap above your head that she
might have a little more room for
herself and her flowers. You real.
ize you are but tolerated nuisance
simply mot in it" and your ad'
miration ceases to run as high at
it is supposed to. The greatquanti'
ties Of flowers used to decorate
churches yesterday are being taken
to the various hospitals here this
morning in buggy loads to cheel
with their beauty and aroma thu
sick and distressed of those insti
tutions. JACKIE EFT HENRI.

A firm Of New York carpet man.
ufacturers has created consterna-
ton in Great Britain by sending to
that country 10000 rolls of carpet
that were offered al rates considera-
bly, below those asked for English
and Scotch carpets of like grade.
The result was an immediate re-
duction Of from 10 to 20 per cent.
in the price OF the native product,
and an order to produce at the mills
special grades to compete with the
American product. Meanwhile
prejudice against American manu-
lectures is industriously sown
among the possible British pur-
ohasers. And Notwithstanding the
fact that the manufacture of this
country ship their goods right into
thu hot-bed of free trade and knock
the natives out on prices, an awful
howl is raised if a move is made to
reduce the tariff on Carpets. The
goods sent to England were made
by labor paid at the mrnificent( p
rates Of wages which we hear so
much about. That proves that the
tariff has nothing to do with those
wages, and that the only effect it
has is to enable the manufacturers
to monopolize the business in this
county and to extort outrageous
prices from the people of the Unit
ed States for all the carpets used.
What excuse can be offered for the
difference in prices charged for the
carpets shipped to England aud
the same kind sold by the same
makers in this country Absolute
ly none 1t is nothing more than
system of robbery made possible,
foslered and protected by the Nc
Kinly and kindred Laws. The
manufacturers are like the COM
mon run Of humanity-they take
sll they can get. The laws and
not the manufacturers are to blame.
