A CHIEF DISPATCHER.
One Railroad Official Who Has All
Work and No Play.

One Railroad Official Who Has All
Work and No Play.
The chief train dispatcher handles the
power" distributes the cars to the vari-
Gus stations, decides what freight trains
shall be run and is in immediate charge
of the countless details that arise in the
operation of trains. The duties Of the
superintendent and the trainmaster keep
them away from the Office about half the
time, travelling up and down the line,
stopping overnight at important stations
and terminals The chief dispatcher Is
always at headquarters and is the man of
details. He is assisted by a trick dis
patcher' for each dispatching district.
Like the sentinels at Gibraltar, the three
trick dispatchers never leave their post
unguarded. 1t may happen for a few
minutes some Sunday night that there is
not train running, mot wheel a-turnin
on the DIVISION" as the men say, but
there sits the dispatcher, the ever ready
representative of the official staff, the in
carnation of alert administration. Where
business is heavy and the management is
progressive there is a night chief also,
who thus renders the position of chief
dispatcher uninterrupted.
These chiefs work II hours each, as the
nervous tension is less than that of a
trick dispatcher, who is 'glued to the
train wire" his entire tour. In the alb
sence of night chief the details are look
ed after by the trick dispatcher, whose
work becomes much more responsible.
The chief in such a case usually comes
down after supper and maps out the
night work and sometimes breaks in later
with instructions on the train wire, which
is "cut in" at his room.
The railroad man is seldom entirely out
of touch with his work. The telegraph
sounder lulls the tired chief to rest and
wakes him in the morning. So trained is
his ear that if wanted at night the dis
patcher has to Sound" the private call
ON the wire only q few times to elicit q
response from the sleeping chief. On
Sundays the chief is on hand most of the
day in obedience to the unwritten rail
road commandment, "Six days shalt thou
labor, and the seventh come down to the
office and catch up" In most occupa-
tons "all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" but in railroadlng it makes
him a bright boy, so stimulating and fas-
chatting is the excitement Of the work.

The Lemon.

The lemon contains various acids,
citric acid among them, with citrate of
potash, and these acids oxidlze In the
blood into carbonates of potash and
carbonic acid. AS scurvy is believed to
be due to lack Of potash salts In the
blood, we see how substances like lem
ons, potatoes and fresh vegetables gen.
orally act as preventives of the all
ment. Also in rheumatism, in which
1t is desirable to maintain the alkaline
character of the blood, lemons are of
service. Beyond this l do not think
anybody can vaunt the properties of
the fruit. A healthy person has no
more need OF lemons than of, say, tea,
for his ordinary food will supply him
with all that Is necessary for the
maintenance Of sound body. People
who talk about lemons as good for the
liver" and so forth, found their belief
rather on faith than on knowledge

RAIN.

The patient rain at early summer dawn;
The long, lone autumn drip; the damp, sweet
hush
OF springtime, when the glinting drops seem gone
Into the first notes of the hidden thrush
Tie solemn, dreary beat
OF winter rain and sleet;
The mad, sweet, passionate calling of the showers
To the unblossomed hours;
The driving, restless, midnight sweep Of rain;
The itful sobbing and the smile again
OF springs childhood; the fierce, IMPLYING pour
OF low hung leaden clouds; the evermore
Prophetic beauty of the sunset storm,
TRANSPORTED into color and to form
Across The sky. wondrous changing rainl
Changeful and full of temper as mans life;
Impetuous, fierce IMPLYING, kind again,
Prophetic, beauteous, soothing, full Of strife;
Through all thy changing passions hear not we

The Penmanship of Authors.

Is there really any connection be-
tween the CAST of a writer's mind and
his handwriting7 asks The Pail Mall
Gazette. Thackeray was one Of the
neatest of writers and boosted that If
other trades failed he could get his liv-
ing by writing the Lords Prayer on a
shilling. Keats wrote like clerk, and
Gray, Tom Moore, Leigh Hunt and Sir
Walter Scott all used running hands,
which were legible without any mark
ed characteristics. The same may be
said of the writings Of Anthony Troll
lope and Professor Tyndall, none, per-
haps, Of these writer's being much
given to subtlety Of expression.
Carlyle, on the other hand, is said to
have produced the most untidy and
awful scribble that ever puzzled COM
positor, and Victor Hugo, Browning
and Tennyson were nearly as bad.
Yet, although this looks as If there
might be some sort of rule in such
matters, we find Napoleon, who GER
tainly never failed in directness of ex-
preston, writing hand that he could
not read himself, and Macready, the
actor, whose order for the theater was
once taken for q prescription for a
cough mixture.
One thing seems pretty certain-that
the mere size Of the letters has little
to do with character.

THE SIGN OF STARVATION

THE SIGN OF STARVATION
Is weakness. A starved man can't work.
A starved organ can't work or at the
best 1t works partially and ineffective1y.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
by curing diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
enables the perfect digestion and assirni-
lation of the food eaten, and this food
converted into nutrition, builds up the
body and all its parts and organs into
sound health and strength.

Il. the Short story Doomedf

In "The Editors Study" in the Novem-
Der Harper's, Mr.. Alden gives some inter-
eStinS opinions as to the magazine of the
future. he predicts the passing OF both the
serial and the conventional short story:
The aim OF this kind OF magazine be-
comes ever more and more distinct from
that of the book he says, and the time
will come when the serial publication in il
OF fiction or OF history will be an excep-
tiensl thing. We are confident that even the
conventional short story-that elaborate
structure formerly deemed neceSsary-will
disappear from its contents, its place be-
ing taken by the vivid. suggestive sketch.
with an even stronger appeal to the nor
mai emotional sensibility. What used TO be
known as the article has already been
transformed, TO use George Eliot's preg-
nant phrase, from a diagram into a picture.
The essay, as we are using IL In these
pages, Is not the formal and extended
treatment OF a subject, but an expression
OF SEINE phase Of thought concerning an IN
teresting theme tIFat. limited Nas II may
seem, has through its SuggestiVeness an in
definite expansion.
THE briefer the contributions TO the
magazine the greater its variety. But brew
ity should not be sought at the sacrifice OF
literary art. The brief sketch or essay OF
story should not be a Brevity IL
comparative; twenty pages may be short,
and a single page tediously long. The ar
ristlc requirement is the economy; there
must be no waste"
