English railways ana Fogs.

1t is seldom that there is sufficient
ly heavy fog on an American railway
to cause serious inconvenience that no
special precautions are taken, but in
England a heavy fog is so common
that there is a regular service made up
Of the repair gangs, who take the place
Of the mechanical signals. Every dis
tance signal is guarded by a signal
man, who is supplied with flags and
torpedoes, the latter being called de-
tonators, while the signal men are
pointsmen. Two torpedoes are placed
on the track to warn the engineer when
the signal is set at danger and are sup
plemented by red lantern in the
hands of the signal man. AS the tor
pedoes cost a cent and a half each and
are used in great numbers there is a
machine supplied by which the second
torpedo is forced from the rail by the
force Of the explosion Of the first, as
only one is necessary, the second being
merely a precaution.

valuable Zones of silence.

There has come into modern life a
greater variety OF sound and a greater
volume than assailed the ears of our
ancestors. To keep ones freshness
there ought to be a zone of silence
around every human being during some
part Of the day. The finest creative
work is done, as a rule, in seclusion;
not necessarily apart from men nor in
solitary places, but away from the tu-
mutt and away from distractlng
sounds. There was organized in Paris
years ago a society for the culture of
silence. On the occasion Of the initia-
ton of a distinguished man of letters a
bowl OF water was brought out to him
in a room where he was waiting in
solitude. He studied it a moment,
placed a rose upon it and sent it back.
The water bore the rose without over
flowing. To the members assembled in
another room the act was the most
convincing evidence that the initiate
comprehended the purpose of the fel-
lowship and was prepared in spirit to
become one of the company. The act
was a symbol which Americans may
wisely study.-Good Health.

The Chow Dog.

The chow, the solemn, black tongued
dog which comes from China, is, the
London Chronicle thinks, the ideal city
dog. 1t says: "He never barks unless
there is something serious to bark at
You open the door, and the dog march,
es out with fine solemnity. This writ
er's chow has a range Of about ten
square miles, and he has never hurt a
baby, though he has gathered innumer-
able friends during his solemn march
through London. He never loses his
head and his morning walks embrace
Chelsea, Putney and the sacred pre-
cincts of the Brompton oratory. In
deed, he once followed a bicycle to
Hendon and found his way back with
in forty-eight hours with an hOnorably
empty stomach. The unaccompanied
chow is the very least of the nuisances

daughter died last Saturday morning,
May 10, aged one year, ten months
and ten days. She leaves a father,
mother brother and three sisters to
mourn her loss. Little Tresie was only

She is sleeping, gently sleeping,
In her grave meath the sod,
When loved ones at nome are weeping,
At the rulings of our God.
Fond mother, father, dear brother
and sisters,
Weep not for me though
Not dead but gone before,
How sweet should fall the sounds.
Upon the ear of the bereaved ones.
Yes, little Tresie has gone
To the realms OF the blessed,
She is forever free from the sorrow
And affliction OF this world,
For a white robed angel now che dwells
With God in Heaven forever more.

Immediately after the grapes have

This is pre-eminently a fruit garden

often use it. 1t is the surest and often
the most practical way of securing per-

the bag firmly; leave no opening to
