Comment by Rev. =. III. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Our little worries and how to QeS
rid OF them.-Ps. cxxi, Is; John xiv, I.
The One Hundred and Twenty first
Psalm is one of the most beautiful Of
the psalms. Some have supposed it was
written in exile. Others conjecture that
1t was used by the caravans Of pilgrims
going up to the yearly feasts when they
first came in sight of the mountains on
which Jerusalem stands. Whether it
was the exile looking from distant
land to the mountains whence came his
help or the pilgrim nearing the sacred
city. the leading thought is the same
namely. that the Lord is our keeper,
and we may trust Him in all the vari-
GUS phases of life when there is trouble
and difficulty. 1t is the same thought
that is emphasized in John xiv, 1: "Let
not your heart be troubled. Va believe
in God; believe also in Me-.
The idea expressed, that Jehovah,
the Maker Of heaven and earth, helps
and keeps the individual, is comfort
ing one We might imagine sometimes
that the individual is lost sight Of by
God in the myriads Of people in the
world. We might be tempted to think
that our little troubles and worries
could not surely interest the Maker of
heaven and earth. But the psalmist
teaches us differently. my help" he
says, 'cometh from Jehovah, the Maker
of heaven and EARTH" And again he
adds: Jehovah is thy keeper. =
The sun shall not smite thee by day
nor the moon by night" God cares for
each one of us. "Not q sparrow falls to
the ground without His notice." and il
He cares for a sparrow how much more
for those created in His own image?
The constancy of Jehovah's care and
guardianship is beautifully expressed.
Day and night He watches over US an6

keeper may sleep she that keepetf
Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
He cannot sleep is the sense of this ex
preston. His eye is always upon III
and His great, loving heart interested
in us at all times.
The universal application or Jehovah

TO PREVENT WRECKS.

Electric Device Now Being Used by the
Central Railroad Of New Jersey.
Ever since the frightful wreck at At
lantic City the officials of the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey have been ex-
perimenting with many devices by
which they hope to make a repetition
Of such an accident an impossibility.
The more recent accident at Skillman,
n. j., spurred them on, and now they
think they have found what they have
been searching for. A big force of men,
under the direction of Superintendent
OF Signals Dawes, is at work along the
line replacing the old semaphores with
new ones operated by electricity and
placing attachments on all the switch
es, so that it is impossible to leave them
open without giving warning of the
danger.
The new system which the road lie
putting into use is the invention of Mr..
Dawes, and, according to the officials of
the road, is not only cheaper, but much
more effective than any other device
known to the railroad world. 1t is so
simple, too, that Mr.. Dawes wonders
how it is that no one thought of it long
ago. His idea is to make the rails of the
road announce for themselves when
anything is wrong with them or with
the switches with which they are con-
nected. To do this he has divided the
track into a series of blocks, as is done
in the ordinary 'block" system. In the
open stretches of track in the country
these blocks are one mile long; near the
smaller towns the blocks are only three
quarters of a mile in length. and near
the terminals of the line they are re-
duced to half a mile.
At the end Of each block are placed
tall poles bearing semaphores, one OF
which is designated for each track. To
the ordinary observer there is no differ
ence in the rails on one side of block
from those on the other side. But close
inspection will show that q bar of wood,
much like a fishplate, is attached tC
each of the rails. This bar is the insu-
lator, and by it the two rails of one
track in block are connected, while al
the same time they are separated from
those Of the next block.
BY this device each track in bloch
is formed into a complete circuit
through which flows a current Of cleo
tricity. So long as the track is clear ant
there is nothing in the rails the current
flows along uninterruptedly, and the
signals on the semaphoTe pole show ;
clear track for trains. But let traiI
pass from one block to another and TIT
signals are changed. As the wheels o
the engine pass from one insulated par
Of the track to another they form con
nection between the two which ''shor
circuits" the blocks, and the DANCE
signals are automatically displayed b,
the semaphores guarding the block up
on which the engine is entering.
At the same time, far back at tn
commencement Of the block which tn
engine is leaving, the signals which ha'
stood at danger are changed TO ones G
! warning. By these an engineer is mott
fed that while the block he is upon
clear the one in front of him is occu
, pied. He is at least one mile, and
| may be two miles, from the train in ad
: vance and has plenty Of time to guar
against accidents.

put them on the other fellow where

England's Amphibious Railway

A very curious amphibious railway
was opened at Brighton on Saturday
a railway which runs from Brighton to
rockingham (some four and a half
niles through the water instead of I'M
der It, This is accomplished by the rails
being laid at low water mark and by
mounting the car on iron stills. The
result is that at high tide the car runs
along with salt water sometimes ten
feet deep on each side-and yet no sea-
sickness. The motive power is electric
ity conveyed by an overhead wire from
a dynamo at Rottingdeau. What would
be the result of running the car in a
gale of wind and a high sea we do not
know, but probably the company which
owns the line does not care. Since the
line is purely a pleasure one We pre-
sumo that the cars will not run In bad
weather. The car, which is made to
look something like the deck of a yacht
has q sort of snowplow in front which
cuts through the water If the railway
succeeds. we may, perhaps, see the
whole of our south coast towns thread
ed on an electric wire-London Spec

MR. JOHNSTON'S RESPONSE.
State Printer Johnston was seen after
ward and asked what he had to say to
the Governors criticisms. He replied
that in past years all the Legislative
printing had been paid for out Of a spe-
cial appropriation. which has been called
a deficiency" appropriation, and that
In his report he called attention to the
fact that such title was a misnomer.
AS to the moving Of the binding plant,
Governor Budd himself had, at his re-
quest, gone to the State Printing Office
and looked over the situation and had
agreed that for the safety of the build
ing it was an absolute necessity to take
the steps which he had just condemned.
With regard to the amounts paid to
foremen while absent on vacation, the
facts were that during the session Of the
Legislature these men had to put In
large amount of overtime for which they
never received any compensation, and it
had always been the custom to allow
them a vacation to make up for this,
when the state Of the work permitted
AS matter Of fact, their overtime was
many times greater than the length Of
the vacation granted them. A new rule
is now in force, and the men are paid
for the actual number Of hours en-
ployed.
The work of the office is increasing
every year, and the last Legislature had
added several new commissions whose
reports had to be printed and to which
other supplies were furnished from his
office. He was satisfied that his depart
ment was being properly and economic
ally managed.

Nearly every physician, every scientist
and every sufferer has been asking this
great question: What is the grip? Some
have asserted that it is a dangerous mi
crobe which comes into the system. breeds
several millions every second, and soon
overruns the body with disease. Others
have said that we are passing through
region of star-dust, and that the minute
particles are drawn into the BODY with
every breath. Whatever it may be, 1t is
certain that it is something within the
body which is fighting with the body to
undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate III
such an emergency? Counterfeit the enc

which can counteract their deadly 1nnu-
ence Spirits of some kind are the best
things to take, and whisky is preferable
to any other kind Of spirits. But 1T should
be borne very carefully in mind that ohiy
