Y been devised for railroad trains,
L \ and 1t is to be hoped that soon
all the great railroad systems OF the
country will be as luxuriously equipped
for the comfort of babies as any mill
ionaire's house in the land. ror the
new compartment is not only coy
nook, padded, carpeted curtalned anu
cotted. but 1t Is furnished with ever!
possible appointment for baby CON-
fort.
That this innovation will hailed Win
delight by every traveller who has ever
been annoyed by the crying OF tired Oh
frightened infants during a rallwa!
journey goes without saying. Even
people of the soundest nerves find them
severely tried by the incessant walls OF
the little travellers, while to the aver
age human being these lugubrious
sounds are positive torture.
No matter how good-natured child
NAV be. it Is almost sure to become
cross when travelling, and it Is as much
for the comfort of the tots themselves
as for the relief of their victims that
certain klynte-doubtless man
of experience, well qualified for his
task-has contrived this nursery annex
to railroad trains. According TO his
design, the travelling nursery will take
up about the same amount of space as
the private stateroOm which is found
In all sleeping cars. There will be II
saving of space of several feet, how
ever, as the wide seats on the sides OF
the stateroom below the berths are not
needed in the nursery being replaced
by ottomans and tiny easy chairs scat

Mining Logs for Lumber.


Instead of going into the woods and
cutting trees and saving them into log
lengths, the lumbermen of Cape May,
In New Jersey, mine their lumber.
Ages and ages ago a forest of cedar
trees waved its branches in the breezes
about Cape May. The sea is supposed
to have broken the barrier which sep
arated 1t from the trees and overturned
them by undermining the roots. Their
weight caused them to sink in the
soft muck where they had stood and
the mold of centuries of leaves closed
over them. One day man in passing
through the swamp found one Of the
cedar logs, and when he had dug 1t out
1t was as sound as when 1t grew hun
dreds of years before. OF course 1t
was very valuable as lumber, and from
that time on the mining of logs has
kept a great many men busy every
summer They locate the trees by
plunging long iron rod into the soft
muck. When they have ''struck wood"
they begin digging until the mine is
laid bare, and the logs are then hauled
away to the sawmill. Most of the
trees are from ten to twelve feet UNI
der ground, but some of them have
been found as deep as ninety feet
down.

Boys Who BECAME Famous.


Nearly all boys and girls show In
some way at some time what they are
to become when they grow into man
hood and womanhood.
A Swedish hoy fell out of window
and was severely hurt, but with clench-
ed lips he kept back the cry Of pain.
The King Gustayus Adolphus. who
saw the fall, prophesled that that boy
would make man for an emergency
and so he did, for he became the fam
Gus Gen. Bauer.
A woman fell off the dock in Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one
of the crowd of men dared to jump in
after her; but boy struck the water
almost as soon as she, and managed
to keep her up until stronger arms got
hold of her Everybody said the boy
was very daring, very kind. very
quick, but also very reckless, for he
might have been drowned. The boy
was Garbaldi. and If you will read his
life You will find these were lust his
traits all through-that he was so alert
that nobody could tell when he would
make an attack with his red-shirted sol
diers; so indlscreet sometimes as TO
make his fellow-patriots wish he was
In Guinea, but also SO brave and mag
unanimous that all the world. except ty-
rants, loved to hear and talk about
him.
