when lie is dangerously near n train
preceding him, and trains may follow
zach other only a few minutes apart,
without fear of n collision. This rail-
way time signal flashes u warning sig
nal in the face of the engineer, en-
aiding him to determine the location
OF the train preceding him, and he can
thus keep his engine under necessary
control or run to the full limit, as the
n%ever-failing clock hands of the sig
mails may instruct him. A train passes
over the track bar, releasing the hands
of the signal, and they drop to starting
point, commencing Mt once to register
the minutes elapsing since the passage
OF the train. Three minutes later, per-
.haps, another train thunders up the
track. a glance at the signal tells the
engineer that he is dangerously near
to the train ahead and he slows down
accordingly, ready to stop should the
other train be sighted. A few miles
further another signal informs the EN-
gineer as to how the train ahead is
progressing, and he can corresponding

check it, as may be required, thus en-
abling trains to he run only a few min

ETHICS OF BOOK BORROWING.
How to Take Care Of a Volume Lent
YOu.

You
In spite of Po.onius' fatherly injunc-
ton to Laertes, neither a borrower
nor a lender be-" most of us borrow a
new book now or then or receive it
from the generous owner who insists
upon lending it. Some people take the
book carelessly, others do not rest until
1t is read and returned to the keeping
of its proprietor.
The first thing to do with a borrowed
book Is to it with thick paper t.,
protect tho covers from accidental
splashes Or from lingering. Do not
Wa. - day c- 49, but cover it at once
81 soon as you r..~iv~A Write the
name of the book plainly On the paper
cover, also the owners name. If you
are one of a large family and the bor-
rowed book is likely to be laid on q ia
ble where any n can pick it up, write
on cover, This book is not to be left
on the library table," for in spite of
dainty davenport arrangements the
library table often means close ~associa-
ton with an inkstand, Il vinaigrette, or
owe vase containing water, or some
receptacle Of fluid which may be acct
dentally overturned and SPOT the bor-
rowed book.
Do not read a little in the borrowed
book and put it aside while YOU read
three or four other more interesting
books. Begin it and get through with
1t, reading as steadily as you ran until
1T Is finished, and then return it prompt
lN. DO not wait until Thursday or Sun
day because you will surely see the
owner Them" return it mt once and then
IT will be safely off your hands.
1t Is provoking to have IL book bor-
rowed and kept for al indefinite time:
1t prevents others who may be await
&g the book from the opportunity Of
eejoying 1t. If the borrower finds her
self not likely to find time to read it.
she should return 1t at once and ask
for the privilege of borrowing it an
sther time.
Never, never, lend to another a book
isat you have borrowed. Let not that
piece of superficial dishonesty be laid

Wasted water running into drains
and sewers is of very little account in
removing deposits of solid matter which
accumulate in them. This is proved by
the fact that in many large cities where
the consumption is greatest 1t is neces-
sary at frequent intervals during the
year to flush the sewers for the purpose
of removing the deposits which gather
there 1t is weight and volume of water
that are required, and the same rule will
apply in the clearing out of a drain or
waste pipe. In the ordinary closet a
stream of water pours through the valve
into the arm of the bowl, then encircles
the bowl, feebly drops into the trunk
of the closet, then into the trap and
down the soil pipe. The internal cir

over IL inches. The stream of water

RETURNS TO PROTECTION.
Norway Has Been Compelled to Repudi-

Norway Has Been Compelled to Repudi-
ate the Golden Gospel.
Another free trade stronghold has sur
lection. On the 18th of August, some IA
days after the PRONUNCIATION of the
Dingley act, a new tariff law went into
effect in Norway, the aim of which is
''to protect home production, whereas
the purpose of the old law was "to pro-
vide revenue for the needs of the govern
ment. -
Norway was an early convert to the
Golden gospel and has since chung to
the faith with characteristic stubborn
ness, apparently unmOved by the apOs-
tasy of larger and richer neighbOrs But
during the last decade the protective
sentiment has gained ground steadily,
if slowly, especially among the farmers
and manufacturers Last year the con-
gress (storthing) of Norway appointed
parliamentary tariff commission with
instructions to frame tariff law Ito
protect home production. On the goth
of May this year the report of the COM
mission was made public and on the It'll
of August the new law was promul
gated The farmers obtained substan-
tally all they demanded. In order to
facilitate the negotiation of CO..: :nercial
treaties with other countries he prin
ciple of differentia1, OF maxi ii, tariffs
has been adopted. In other lords, Nor
way has made ''protectiC, md reciproc-
ity'' the cornerstOnes of is tariff policy
Norway is not a large country Its
population is only little over 2,000,
900 people. Yet the tariff policy of that
distant land has eXerted, and will con
tinue to exert, considerable influence
upon customs legislation in this cOun-
try Like our citizens of British birth,
the Scandinavian Americans, who hold
the balance of power i'll half a dozen #
our northwestern states, have been
more or less opposed to ''high tariff, >
and not a few have been voting the Re
publican ticket rather reluctantly on
this account, while others i'll recent
years have allied themselves to the
Democratic or the Populist party They
were nursed on free trade in their ma
tive lands and remained free traders at
heart until their views We're changed
by study and observation i'll their new
home But conditions have now changed
Sweden re-established protection in 1888
and now Norway has fallen into line.
The recent tariff reform in Norway will
strengthen the protective sentiment
among our NorweS ian American citi-
zens, especially those who have come
during the last years, and from now or
a majority of the immigrants from Nor
way and Sweden will be protectionists
