The Telephone ON Railroads.

The Telephone on Railroads.
The telephone appears likely to ST..
persede the telegraph to a great ex-
tent in the transaction Of railroad bust
ness. In France communication with
subscribers Of city telephone systems
10 limited, but no such restriction is
placed on the. railway yards, where the
telephone Is used without stint to con-
meet the superintendent with the freight
office, switch towers, shops, etc. 1t is
stated that in certain yards even Or
ders are given through this medium,
important messages being written down
in a special book and compared by re-
peating. Some companies are credited
with the intention of replacing the tele-
graph by the telephone even for the
transmission of important orders. On
the railroads with light traffic, where
the telephone is already in use, it
would be difficult to substitute it en-
trely as special telephone lines would
have to be run At one station on the
V~incennes Railroad, at a signal by tele-
graph, the telegraph wires are con-
nected with the telephone instruments,
and talk thus goes on with the next sta
ton, q mile of. The Northern Rail
road of France is equipping many of
its stations with telephones, through
which assistance al be summoned in
case of accident. The telephone has
also been adapted on the Belgian Sec
ondary roads to the number Of 1917, on
an average of twenty-one miles apart.

Fresupposing that all our preaching
IN regard to learning to take things
easy has resulted In hundreds of tired
ho~usekeepers enjoying a pleasant sea-
son OF rest, we wish to supplement the
little sermon with a postscript, knowing
that the gist of a woman's writing is
supposed to lie in that extra bit Of pen
a1d-ink conversation.
You have been away, the burdens
of home have been for a time slipped
from your tired shoulders and you
have felt free from care. In the morn
ing you have awakened to 4 blissful
consciousness that the breakfast, din
ner and tea will be served without q
single thought of yours being given to
it. II you have felt tired you have
stayed in bed until you were quite
ready to get up, and the delightful,
lazy days have passed all too swiftly,
bringing the time for the return home
long before you feel ready to one
again resume domestic responsibility.
Now, just here Is where the post
script comes in. The summer vacation
has done you much good, don't let the
autumn housekeeping upset it all.
OF, course the house will look perfect
~ dreadful to your tidy eyes when you
once again invade it's dust depressed
precincts. The weeds will be high In
the small and large yard alike and
shutters and steps show plainly, that
the caretaker has been away. This Is
only the natural result of absence,
therefore let it not torment you, even
though your next door neighbours we'll
kept possessions put yours to shame.
Your rounded form and rosy cheeks
counterbalance these trivial details that
can so soon be set right. But do not
try to restore order too oon Take
the accumulated labor easily. Weeds
have not grown in a day, dust has not
settled in a night, and neither the one
nor the other a be banished in a min-
ute. Put up with a little inconv .nience,
smile resignedly owe the ace lmulated
disorder. working cheerfully and syste-
m~atically, and you will o o restore or
der out Of chaos and not lose an ounce
OF the summers good thereby. This
is the right way to come home, but,
alas! how few there are willing to rea-
sonably accept the consequences Of
their absence and take time 70 OBJ
Hterate them. Thus, by October, the
blessings of August are lost sight of
and the summer outing has gone for
nothing. Be sensible, sister nine, and
If you feel like rushing pell-mefl into
a veritable vortex of accumulated
housework, Just stop and think, saying:

to take things easy."-Philadelphia
Times.

Monday afternoon when business
was heaviest ut tho Union Station, and
people were crowding in every direc.
ton to take their respective trains,
an innocent-looking bundle slipped from
beneath the arm Of a stylishly dressed
lady and fell to the platform.
The bundle lay directly in the track
Of the people, and many daintily glOv-
ed hand was extended toward the pack
age, but withdrawn as tho owners rec
objected themselves. Finally Il ring of
gentlemen formed about the package,
each trying TO make the others think he
had other business than watching the
package.
A Well-known business man of this
city stood the suspense as long as pos
sible and then took Il yOungster, who
happened to be lounging about the de-
pot to one side. The boy was seen to
put something in his pocket aud then
walk along and pick up the package.
Elbowing his way through he crowd
he sought out the a who had tipped
him with a nickel and handed him the
package.
The package was quickly undone,
and horrors! resting side by side was a
large slice of cheese and IL half-pint
pocket flask. Quickly slipping the
flask into an inside pocket the man
was about to walk of when the same
stylishly dressed lady who had drop
ped the bundle rushed up to him With
her nose pointing skyward.
Il understand, you have picked up a
package, sir, that belongs to me-
The man excused himself and went
down into his pocket. BY this time
quite a delegation was standing around
looking on. The hand was withdrawn
and extended toward the She

Washing u SILK Blouse.

Make a good lather with white curd
soap and hot water in a small tub or
pan and add a small wineglassful Of
vinegar, pouring the same amount into
another pan containing about two
quarts Of cold water. Place the blouse
in the water, holding it by the neck
band, and rub it downward, taking care
not to drag it in any way and lever
to rub soap upon 1t. AS soon as it ap-
pears to he clean place it in the cold
water, stir it about to remoye all trace
of soap and squeeze carefully, but do
not wiring; roll in a dry cloth for a
few minutes or pass through a rubber
wringer, and iron on both sides, keeping
the grain Of the silk quite even. If
the blouse needs stiffening it can be
be passed through a solution Of gum
arabic (made by adding a quarter Of
an ounce Of gum arabic to n quart of
boiling water) and then ironed, but
the use of the gum spoils the texture
of the silk.-Boston Advertiser.

Pneumatic Wheel skates.

tic Wheel skates.
The movement for the abolition OF
all trouble and work goes on apace.
The latest invention is intended to do
away with walking by making every
man his own vehicle.
A pneumatic skate is on exhibition at
the Royal Aquarium, London, on which
the skatestrian can spin along much
more rapidly than on the old-fashioned
wooden-whecled roller, says the New
York Herald. The idea is a distinct
embezzlement, Of course, Of the idea
of the pneumatic tire as Used on bi'
cycles.
1t was invented by H. J. Wilson.
and the first pair was sold to a woman
of pluck and title" who lives at Kirk.
caldy and does her shopping on the
skates, followed by all the inhabitants
Of Kirkcaldy who are we'll enough to
be out. The craze has infected Glas.
gov, where pneumatic skaters go along
at the rate of twelve miles IN hour,
the beginners moving down anything
and every one in their path. 1t is spe-
cially adapted to country doctors, let
ter carriers, drummers, highwaymen,
and, In fact, to any whose interest
it is to move rapidly from n place to
another.
The skates cost in England from SIT
to $26 a pair. 1t is said that 81 worth
Of arnica and sticking plaster is enough
for the learner, and after that he can
keep his balance and make good speed.
1t isn't necessary to have a smooth
floor, the best sort Of ground bsing a
gritty, macadamized road. Under the
laws Of England a bicycle must be
equipped with Il bell. a brake and a Ian
tern at night. This expense to the
bicyclist is saved to the skatestrian,
who, when he sees that there is danger
Of a collision, can avoid it by throwing
himself forward and alighting on his
nose.
1t is suggested that the pneumatic
skates will be useful for military pur.
poses. 4 retreating army that knows
how to skate can get away from trouble

heel and toe method.
