FLOWERS.

How Well [ remember the flowers
That in mothers garden grew,
The dear old fashioned blossoms
They are always sweet and new.
The peoples red, the peoples white
The yellow pansies and the black,
The lovely golden buttercups
And great sweet punches of lilac
In the freshness of early morning,
The garden was the sweetest then
With the silver dew sparkling over all
[ can't describe it with my pen.
The roses-yellow, pink and red.
The forget-me-nots of ancient blue,
The marigoldS and heliotrope.
And pinkS of wondrous hue.
oh. how sweet the Odor comes
From all these dear old flowers,
Planted by mothers loving hands;
Where she spent many happy hours
How sacred they will ever be,
With their fragrant memories:
How we wish they might always stay
And fill our hearts, like melodies.

ELEVEN TO ONE AGAINST THE
JUDGE.

A story is told Of a well-known judge
who is noted for his fondness for con-
Teying to jurors il his charges to
them his own opinions with regard to
the merits Of the case. In one case he
had done so with much plainness, but
to his amaZement the jury remained
out for hours without coming to an
agreement. The judge inquired of the
officer what was the matter, and
learned from him that one juror was
holding out against the other eleven.
He sent for the jury at once, and.
stating to the jurors that he had
plainly intimated how the case ought
to be decided, said he understood the
one juror was standing put against the
other eleven. He proceeded to rebJlke
the juror sharply. The obstinate juror
was a nervous little man, and as soon
as the judge was done he arose and
said: ''Your honor. may I say word p

SIGNALS FROM MOVING TRAINS.
An Automatic Electric System Which
Has Been Tested in Germany.

The frequency of railway accidents
during last year appear to have acted
as a stimulus to inventors in the field
Of railway signaling, for an unpre-
cedcnted number OF warning devices
have been patented within the last
few months. One Of these, which is
regarded by the FittsbTg Dispatch as
specially worthy G attention, has been
successfully tested on some of the
military lines in Germany. The sys-
tenn is automatic, and is actuated by
electricity. The circuits are so con-
trived that two trims travelling on the
same metals, whether in the same or
opposite direction, are warned Of each
others position BY the ringing of a
bell on each locomotive, while at the
same time the two drivers are brought
into telephone communication The
same thing occurs if one of the trains
be stationary, so hat if there is any
breakdown on the line in front, the
driver receives ntice. The breaking
away of a bar or cars from the rear

the driver and to the station which
the train has las passed through;
and the distances at which all these
warnings are give1 and received can
be varied in such manner as to pro-
vide either long or short "blocks," ac-
cOrding to the requirements of the
| traffic. In fact, tn. system seems to
have provided effectively against all
ordinary contingencies, and its en-
plOyment should greatly reduce the
risks Of railway trlvel. The German
government experts speak highly of
the apparatus in tier official report.
Among other experiments a train en-
tering a station was warned of an OBJ
stacle on the line; two locomotives ap-
| preaching each otter on the same
track were warned two trains pro-
| ceeding in the sane direction, the
second at greater sIeed than the first,
were enabled to give each other auto
! matte notice Of Their respective speed
and position, and a train which was
entering station received warning
that points were in a wrong position
In every case notice was given in
ample time to prevent danger and to
render a collision impossible.

NOT A MONOSYLLABIC Ian
GUAGE.
Chinese Made up of 10000 Characters
Not Difficult to Learn.

There are about 10000 characters in
the Chinese language proper, but the
average Chinaman no more learns all
of those characters than the every
day American learns the 100000 words
in the English language. The China
man, however, learns on the average
more than does an American in a
similar position in life. A Chinaman
who can neither read nor write is a
rarity, according to the New York
Evening Post. Chinese is not a mono
syllable language, as many suppose,
and it is impossible to utter in Chinese
any but the shortest sentences in
mOnOsyllables. In writing, the China
man makes one complicated but inte-
grail character for each word, but that
word may be properly spoken in two,
three or four syllables His syllables
are divided by no longer intervals than
are MS words, and that is what makes
the language sound to a foreigner like
a sing-song jargon. We do not know
whether he is telling a story or at
tempting a song. The Chinese perhaps
think the same thing Of an American,
who bites off his words and swallows
them, or telescopes one into the other.
Business men thrown in contact with
Chinese merchants who speak pure
Chinese say that it is not difficult to
learn. Instead of twenty-six letters,
not including the useless &, the Chi
nese have 500 or 600 syllables, and
these are combined into various forms
to make the 10000 words in their
dictionary" These syllables vary in
meaning according to the tone in
which they are spoken or the strokes
used in writing them.
A Chinaman can unite any two of
the 600 syllables and make an in
telligent word. This is not the case
with the English language. This fiex-
Utility is perhaps owing to the short

But instead of speaking or even look
