Telephones on Railways.

Since the reported intention of various
roads to equip their lines with telephone
systems it has developed that the telegraph
operators employed by the railroads are
bitterly opposed TO the companies taking
such steps. fearing that it will make the
service of the telegraph wires less salts
factory and introduce an innovation that
will gradually tend to do away with tele-
graphing in the operation of railroads
The lines that are now experimenting with
the combined use Of the telegraph and tele-
phone are the Erie, the Grand Trunk, the
New York, New Haven & Hartford, the
Illinois Central and the Santa Fe The
Erie recently made an experiment with the
tests, as well as those made by other lines.
proved so satisfactory that employees are
considerably agitated over the innovation.

interrupted Meditation.

On hill near the river.
Near the dashn Roarin' river,
When the corn was in tassel
And the squlshes were expanding
AS expands this bloomin country,
Sat the chieftain. Holy Moses,
In the shadow OF bowlder
Giving a good imitation
OF a fragant brand of Tnjun
In a state OF rumination.
With his eyes he swept the valley
Gazed upon the homes OF settlers,
Heard the lowing OF the cattle
And the cackle OF the chickens
over eggs they had accomplished
Saw the hired man SHOCKING under
Spreading trees of tack-oak. working
by the day at gOin wages.
In the breast of Holy Moses
Rose a sigh so big he belched it,
And his dusky forehead wrinkled
Meath the force OF his reflections
Till his scalplock and his eyebrows
Seemed to contemplate a fusion.
OF the past the chief was thinking
OF the days when in the valley,
Ere the paleface was invented
He was high giasticutus:
When there were no golden wheat fields
When no stalks OF corn were waving,
When his dusky. warlike people
Raised but smoke-tanned kids and sheol
Suddenly, as rent by passion.
Sprang TO his feet and uttered
Yells twould stop an auto-devil.
And he danced in wild gyratiOns.
Danced the war and scalp and sun dance
Tangled into one. and slapped he
At the fullness OF his breechcloth
Then toward the valley started
Hitting but the highest places
In the rugged mountain landscape.
Brandished both his hands about him
As dreamer with the jimjams
Was his bosom fired with anger?
Did he go TO seek for vengeance
on the paleface who'd intruded
On his lands? Nay, nay. Paulyna,
Not upon your golden tresses
Holy Moses had been sitting
On nest OF yellow jackets.

Are Men InnuiaiffYef

At Eaton Hall in the days of the late
Duke of Westminster there stood on
the mantelpiece of the principal guest
chamber, dedicated to bachelor visitors,
a clock of remarkable design. Below
1t was placed card bearing the words,
please do not touch" A famous poll
tician who Glanced to find himself an
occupant of the room ventured TO ask
his noble host after dinner the reason
of this prohibitory notice. II have
often contended with my daughters"
replied the duke, that women are
more curious than men. To satisfy me
of the contrary fact they have placed
the clock to which you refer in the
bachelors room with the notice affixed
to it. The result has been that every
man, with one notable exception, who
has occupied that room has asked me
NE reason of the notice" "And who,
may l ask" rejoined the interested
guest, was the notable exception you
mention?" ''The late Mr.. Fawcett, one
time postmaster general" was the re-
ply of the duke. 'As you know, poor
man, he was blindr'
