east and west on the south side of the
Union station. Fortunately, the city is
narrow in this section and much of the
right of way is already owned by the rail-
roads. The railway avenue should be of
sufficient width to accommodate all the
lines, and an additional width on each side
of not less than sixty feet The tracks
should be closed throughout, as far as
the Belt road. Viaducts should be pro-
vided for the principal north and south
street crossings. The parallel roadways,
east and west, would furnish convenient
approaches from all the streets. The ques-
ton of elevation or depression OF the road
bed is a secondary one and can be de-
termned by careful survey and considera-
ton of the many interests involved. The
limitation of all passenger trains to the
closed railway avenue would solve the
present danger problem. l.. l..

Advising the "Greenhorn. -

In one OF the large railroad Offices
in this country Ia a. comparatively
young man, who is at the head Of a
large department. When he entered
the service Of the company FIVE years
ago be was awkward. lie was given
the poorest paid work in the depart
ment.
The very first day Of his employ
ment by the company, man who
had been at work in the came room
for six years approached him and
gave him good advice.
Young fellow, want to put few
words in your ear that will help you.
This company is soulless corporation,
that regards its employees as 80 many
machines. 1t makes no difference how
hard you work or how well. So you
want to do just as little as possible and
retain your job That's my advice.
This is a slaye-pen, and the man
who works overtime or does any
specially fine work wastes his strength.
Don't you DO it.
The young man thought over the
advice, and after quiet little strug-
gle with himself he decided to do the
best and the most be knew how,
whether he received any more pay
from the company or not.
At the end Of year the company
raised his wages and advanced him
to more responsible position. In
three years be was getting third
more salary than when be began, and
in FIVE years be vas head clerk in the
department and the man who had
condescended to give the greenhorn
"advice" was working under him at
the same figure that represented his
salary eleven years before.
Thisis not a story Of a goody-goody
little boy who died early, but Of a
live young man who exists in flesh and
blood today.

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF

Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Lille Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without Their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, il we expect
them 10 ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and al school, the children
have their times Of III health and suffering.
We often note the palid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twltch-
ings of limbs and muscles They complain OF
headache, drowsincss, wearinesF, dyspepsia,
and Indigestion. Al such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease Will have
a fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands ofwise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor'
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine S
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plcated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, Try the health

How ErmInes are Captured.

Perfect fur, Of the delicate ermins
at least, would be marred by the ordi-
nary snare, 10 the trspper devises as
cunning death for the ermine as the
ermine deyises when it darts up through
the snow with its spear teeth clutehed
in the throat Of a poor rabbit, writes
Agnes G. Laut, in Leslie's Monthly.
Smearing his hunting knife with grease.
he lays it across the track. The little
ermine comes trotting in dots and
dashes and gallops and dives to the
knife. That greasy smell Of meat IT
knows, but that frost-silyered bit Of
steel is something new. The knife is
frosted like ice. Ice the ermine has
licked, 20 he licks the knife. But
alas for the resemblance between ice
and steel Ice turns 10 water under
the warm tongue steel turns TO FIRE
that blisters and holds the foolish lit
tie stost by bis inquisitive tongue, a
hopeless prisoner till the trsPPer
comes. And, lest msrsuding wolver-
inc or lynx should come first and COB
bic up priceless ermine, the trapper
comes coon. And that is the end for
the ermine.

WATCH THE SHIPS.

The breakers beat with roar and shock
And foam fierce flying DER their decks,
While deep below lie oceans wrecks

And look while laden ships from sea
Come proudly home upon the tide
Like conguering kings at eventide.
Or from fierce fights with wintry gales
Steal shoreward now with tattered sails

Where men have waited many year
For ships thatne'er again shall glide

In ocean drear
Soft sailing spirits. how they glide

Strong souls, indeed If they can bear
Lies wind and tide.

The tides bring back all ioyously
To anchor by the sheltered shore
Some freighted full with golden store
From rich spiee-felds and pertum'd sands
OF soft, luxuriant ;ropic lands.

But some have met with wiu,ry gales.
And some at last with shattered sails
To anchor by the old gray pier:
While loving ones IN hope and fear
Wait on for some that never more
Shall anchor by peaceful shore
