FOR GOOD EAT1NG,s SAKE.

The Unique System Adopted by Railroad
Company to Have Its Dining Car Service
Up to tho Best.
The following is an extract from tho To-
eomotive Engineer Of New York city, pa
per Of recognized authority in technical rail-
road matters:
"ln connection with the through train
York and Boston, the Nickel Plate Railroad
run their own eating cars, and they have
adopted a rather unique manner OF keeping
the men in charge of the cars up to the
mark. There is grievance committee con-
sisting of two superintendent, the superin-
cling representatives, and the general car
inspector, who have authority to take
meal in the cars at any time and report on
anything they find wrong. These officers
make life burden to the superintendent of
pleasantly about the criticisms, but those
~patronizing the cars find that they never
have reason to complain of the victuals be-
ing cold or out OF season.
Tho dining car service on the trains Of
the Nickel Plate Roilroad is something that
strikes the traveller as approaching perfec-
ton. With the system in force referred to,
there is not much room for a kick from
anybody"
In conjunction with the above article we
feel justified In adding our compliments to

SIGNALING AT SEA.

Diversity Of Opinion About the Relative
Merits Of Lights.
There IS great diversity of opinion
in the British navy as to the merits and
dement's of colored lights for signaling.
Most of the young officers are strongly
in their favor. AS they point out, sig
nal on this system can be kept showing
as long as required, while any amount of
repetition Of flash-signaling may not,
under some conditions, render it intel
ligible with any degree of certainty.
The BRITISH naval authorities who have
been interchangeable in testing new sys-
TENS of signaling, both for day and
night purposes, have recently made
trial at Portsmouth of the Sellner sys.
tenn, invented by an officer in the Aus,
trian navy This system consists of two
lanterns, each capable of producing five
classes of light, namely, white and rec.
white occulating. red occulating. Thirty
different combinations are on the code.
Electric lights are used for the lanterns.
and though, for the present, separate
batteries are used for the lights and for
the signaling apparatus by which the
lights arc changed and obscured at will.
it is intended eventually one dynamo
shall supply all of the current required.
record Of signals sent by the appa,
ratus is obtained by an attachment
which prints the message sent auto.
matically. No difficulty was experienced
in reading the signals at distance Of
six miles or more. The objection raised
TO the system is that the mechanism is
far too delicate and complicated, though
the results obtained with it far exceed
those possible with the present Morse

Only mother chung to it closer and
closer as the years went by. When the
busy sons and fashionable daughters
called it lonely, and the grandchildren
wandered all over its queer little hooks
and corners, and remarked with open
contempt upon the stiff old furniture
and the tiny paned windows, the good
old lady listened and said nothing, but
her heart throbbed with pnin, as
though she heard the maligning of some
dear friend. "They don't know, of
course" she thought, excusing them in
her own gentle way. Though TO other
eyes it may seem poor and old-fash-

the first and the only home that ever

gone days, when her faithful John
brought her, a bride, to this dear old
home, which seemed so grand and beau

rich in thousand happy, blessed recol-

favorite rose bush? Had not she and
John planted that very mountain ash
together? And could the rooms ever
seem empty and cramped to her when
every nook and corner spoke to her
sometimes of the living or of the dead

MAKING MEN BEGGARs.
Women In London Crowding Out the
Sterner Sex.

Women In London Crowding Out the
Sterner Sex.
II have before me-" says Walter
Besant in recent issue Of the London
Queen. 1.-THE thirty seventh. annual re-
port OF the Society for Promoting tho
Employment OF Women. I am sorry to
learn from this report that the demand
for women clerks and bookkeepers is
on the increase.
AT the same time am informed in
other quarters that thousands of men
clerks are tramping the streets of Lon-
don. wearing out shoe leather in going
up and down stairs in the weary work
Of trying to find places.
They find, instead, women doing the
work. which should keep them and
their wives, for half the pay. One has
no objection to women doing mems
work if they get mems pay. They may
even keep the men in idleness, If they
please. like the laundresses.
"How shall we make these promoters
understand the cut-throat policy of
pushing women in everywhere, at half
or quarter the pay, and driving the men
abroad? However. there are other and
more satisfactory features about this
report.
I'm the lower walks something has
been done by the society in getting
places for women as hair-dressers-will
they ever become such admirable art
lists in this walk as the men PIN find
ing cooks and mattresses, and in getting
temporary work of all kinds for women.
But the numbers and figures given
demonstrate that the work of the So
ciety is but drop in the ocean. We have
100000 of people. with 10000, 900 Of
women and girls, and all who are past
the age of IS. with an insignificant
minority of about 100000, are clamor-
ing for work."

an orchard full of old, rough, weather
beaten apple trees behind it, while an
outer circle of ancient elms leaned
