From the railroad GaZetIe-l
The recent order of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad requiring the crews of
shifting engines to use only the English
language while on duty meets with uni
versal appreciation here. The order says
that under no circumstances shall
Pennsylvania German be spoken and
it is said to have been issued for the
reason that recently a serious collision
nearly resulted because g. conductor
gave directions to his crew in this Ian
guage, and brakeman who did not un-
derstand it perfectly shifted cars to the
wrong track. AS the rules are printed
in English the railroad officials are
plainly in the right in insisting that this
language shall be exclusively used by
its employees while on duty.
What kind of a language is this Penn
sylvania German tongue which requires
such an unusual order to be issued TO

bination of English and the German d.

well. but it is easier for them to chat

ed by no rules of grammar. 1t seems
that they are using IL even Wnen on
duty. but the safety Of the public de-

GREATER VIENNA.


LFTOm the Chicago JOufnaIJ
years ago into "Greater Vienna" such
large, sparsely inhabited tracts of land
were included that it now contains
forest land and hills higher than St
Stephens spire. The plow is active
within this new Vienna, corn grows in
abundance. and the vine hourishes.
Fish are caught in quantities, and the
hare and several kinds Of deer are
hunted. This Vienna contains canals,
springs and streams, the latter descend
ing from the Wienerwald, while the
Danube moves majestically across the
landscape; beyond It IS seen the rich
tract of the Marchfeld, yellow with
corn. It causes a peculiar feeling to
find oneself in such charming country
and vet to know that one is still in a
city. Wild flowers and birds abound,
with the lilac, laburnum and hedge
rose.

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELoF


IFrom the New York Press.l
Half the men in the world wouldn't
be married if 1t hadn't been for some
other woman.
There are plenty OF women who aren't
pigeon-toed, but mighty few who aren't
knock-kneed.
It sounds awful nice to talk about a
mans wealth Of love, but that kind
doesn't buy many mutton chops.
Before she marries a man a woman
may care a whole lot to have him look
like a god; but after she has got him,
what she most cares about is not to
have him get up cross in the morning.
When they are engaged a man can't
think OF anything SO prosaic as what
his future wife knows about things to
eat; but after they are married he will
raise thunder IL he can't give cards and
spades to the best cook on earth.
