well to say that the precedent of die
tating to the council the engineer for
the fire engine was established in he

tion of Will Yelton a year or two ago.
He was the first mar thrust upon the
council with the demand that he be
named or the fire department would
go out in "A body. The department
heretofore has been content with the

AN UNHAPPY woMAN's ADVICE.

A woman who has had a very un.
happy married life gives this advice
to young women:
All men are tickle, and it depends
on the wife's power to hold them.
The woman who permits her heart
to rule her head makes a sad mis-.
take.
Shun the man who drinks to excess,
for it is a habit that leads to wretch.
edness.
Don't marry a man to reform him.
twenty-five.
Beware of a man with an ungovern.
able temper. and almost all men are
endowed with this quality.
Avoid also the man who is selfish,
the man who considers always his
W interests before those of his
wife.
If a girl loves a man. no matter
how d~issipated or selfish he may be,
she plunges into matrimony with her
eyes closed.
No woman should v e depend en-.
tirely on her husband for happiness.
1t Is folly and leads always to heart.
ache. A married woman should have
. life apart from her husband.
Let her keep sweet and true and
iovable, but beyond q certain point
she should not venture, lest she lose
her Individuality In her husbands,
with the result that he will impose
upon her.-Baltimore. Sun.

SAFETY DEVICES AND TRAlNMEN
c~ontrivances Of Little Value When
Orders Are Disobeyed.

F. w. Haskell, writing in the Decem-
Der issue of the Engineering Maya
zine, says that the large number of
accidents OF American railways is at
tributable to a habit of carelessness
which the trainmen cultivate with the
connivance of their superiors. The
Operating rules, says the writer, are
sufficient to prevent near'y every acct
dent-and the record of lac has been
ap~palling-but they are habiuually
disregarded. Part of Mr.. Haskell's
article is quoted below:
Given a solid %roadbed, heavy rails,
almost perfect operating rules. why
do we have the almost daily murder
of passengers from ~preventable acci
dents?
Because the admirable rules for the
government of employees are habitually
d~isregarded.
We are prone to speak with m
thing like contempt Of the average
E~nglishman's blind slavishness to
regulations and to compare 1t to its
disadvantage with our superior fashion
of d~isregarding fixed rules and using
Individual intelligence. But we, with
our quicker intellects, XIII our pas

train is Unexpectedly stopped between
stations. The rules provide that a
flagman must go back a very consider
able distance. 1t is showing. A long
tramp means wet feet. The f1agman
reasons: I'VE will be here only a few
seconds anyway. l will be called in
before l can get Jack to my post. and
then the train will be delayed while
| am running back to it-besides, the
block signal will hold back any follow
ing train.'
Many roads having installed a per-
feet system of block signals destroy
its entire effectiveness by establish
ing the 'permisssive block" or going
ahead under green By this system
a following train is given discretion
ary power to run in a block already
occupied. This permission is always
coupled with the injunction that the
engineer must s caution, and "at all
times have his train under perfect con-

And sweetly, sadly singeti. like a bird

-Who fought thee thus to MARBLE
In the noontide heat and wrestle with
Thy deep, corroding grief and joyless
woe?
Who taught thy simple heart
Its pent-up, wildly-warring waste
OF wanton woe to carol forth upon
The silent air?
l chide thee not, because thy
Song is fraught with grief-embittered
Monotone n joyless minor chords
OF wild, imported melody, for thou
Art restless, woe begirt and
Composed round about with gloom,
Thou timid, trusting, orphan mule!
Few joys indeed. are thine,
Thou thrice. bestricken madly-
Mournful, melancholy mule.
And he alone who strews
Thy pathway with his cold remains
Can give thee recompense
OF lemoncholy o
He who hath sought to steer
Thy timber, yielding tail
aerninst thy crupper-band
Hath given thee Joy, and ne alone.
'Tis true he may have shot
Athwart the Zodiac, and. looking

The New Jerusalem,
Have uttered vain regrets.
Thou reckest not, o orphan mule,
For 1t hath given thee joy, and
Bound about thy bursting heart,
And held thy %tottering reason
To its throne.
Sing on, o mule, and MARBLE
In the twilight gray.
Unchidden by the heartless throng
Sing of thy parents On thy fathers
side.
Yearn for the days now past and gone;
For he who pens these hating
Limping lines to thee
Doth bid thee yearn, and yearn, and

to the one that is shirred to form q

favorite princesse effect. The skirt Is
exceedingly graceful and is quite sim.
pie, it being made in sections, which
are joined beneath the shirrings. The
slight train illustrated is always pretty

skirts that just escape the floor are

and cotton, net and the like are also

The skirt is made with two sections,
and the f1ounce. The lower section and
the founce both are shirred to form
headings, and beneath these headings
the Jennings are made. The shirrings
at the upper edge give a yoke effect,

Welcoming the Unwe1come Gift.

It is more blessed to receive than to
give, when it is our duty to receive.
There are times when the only way to
know the blessedness of giving is by
gracious receiving. And gracious re.
ceiving is grateful receiving. 1t is put
to the test when there is brought to us
a gift undesired. or even unwelcome
because actually distasteful to us.
Even the cup of cold water. offered in
loving though mistaken zeal for our
comfort, may be not at all what we
wish for just then. How can we be
grateful fol the unwelcome gift? By
remembering that the gift itself is of
little importance. but thai the prompt
ing back of the gift is the fash Of
Gods image, the Christ-spirit of love.
And is not that, directed toward us.
worth welcoming? May we not be hon.
estly grateful for such a gift? Then
let us give our gratitude full, instant
expression, even to the taking and
using, if need be, of the unWelcome
gift. God forbade that we should ever
wound a love that would serve us
