We know a man who twenty years
ago was just a section hand on the
railroad, and his pay was only $1.15
per day. He had wife and four chill
dren. Today he is Independent and
easily worth $4,000. We do not know
all the details Of his struggle from
poverty to comparative wealth, but we
do know this-that even when he was
paid the lowest wage he made it a
point TO save something If only few
cents per day. 1t is In the saving and
not in the earning where future flnan-
cial independence lies.

Most men can only spend limited
amount of money judiciously. No end
of men with only 500 will fool half
of it away. 1t is of mighty little use
to give men money which they have
not earned and learned TO know the
value of. Poverty is unpleasant, it's
true, but it is a great blessing to the
world, for it keeps more men decent
than any other thing.

POINTS ABOUT AIR BRAKES
Steam Car Appliances Concerning
80 Which But Little Is General
1T v.z,7,. ~ Known. ,..>.

Every one has heard of the air brake,
and references to 1t are sure to be made
when the subject of protection against
railroad accidents is under discussion,
but, like many inventions in common
use, it is more or less of a mystery, says
the Chicago Record Herald, for which
an explanation is demanded from time
to time. 45taa .s..as7- ea.f7 =.
The modern air brake consists of Ia
parts, among which are the air pump,
which congresses the air; main reser-
voir. in which the air is stored; the
engineers brake valve, regulating the
flow of air; the train pipe, which con-
meets the brake valve with the triple
valves under each car; the quick-ac.
ton triple valve, controlling the flow
of air and from the auxiliary reservoir,
which is supplied to and from the main
reservoir, and the brake cylinder pis-
ton rod, which is forced outward, there
by applying the brakes.
The theory of the air-brake is the
equalization of pressures. When the
brakes are not in action the pressure on
the train pipe is made such as to pre-.
vent an escape of air from the auxiliary
reservoir. When the engineer desires
to make an application of brakes he
turns his brake valve so that there is
moderate reduction of the pressure in
the train pipe. This causes the greater
pressure In the auxiliary reservoir to
force air into the brake cylinder, fore
ing the piston out and applying the
brakes. 3.7
When it is desired to release the
brakes, the engineer turns his valve
in the opposite direction, permitting the
air to flow from the main reservoir, To-
Gated on the engine, into the train
pipe. When the pressure, thus re-
stored in the train pipe, is increased
above the pressure in the auxiliary res
ervoir certain valves are moved, COM
munication is thereby restored between
train pipe and auxiliary reservoir. the
piston is forced to its normal position,
the air escapes from the brake cylin-
der, and the auxiliary reservoir is re.
charged through the train pipe.
When the train breaks in two or
hose-pipe connection is broken, 1t has
the effect of sudden and material re-
duction Of the pressure In the train
pipe. the same as though the engineer
had made an emergency application.
The sudden reduction Of pressure also
opens supplementary valves, which In
crease the pressure upon the brake cylin.
der about 20 per cent. The brake shoes
are attached to rods, which are in turn
attached to- the piston in such manner
that when: the air from the. auxiliary
reservoir forces the latter out q pull
ing force is exerted upon the brekes.

Smart Country Cow.

DR.. Edward Martin, who is at the
head of the health department in Phil

Philadelphia, for DR.. Martin plays the
