New Danger Signal Invented.

Danger! An electrical system of
signaling has been perfected in Not
tingham, England, whereby a gong
sounds on the engine and an immense
bulls eye in the cab glares with green
or red light in the drivers face. Be-
yond the spot where at present the
distant signal is located on the rail-
ways, the invention proposes that a
central rail 100 yards long should be
laid with a second and much larger
central rail near the present house
signal. Connected with the signal
box, the pressure of a roller beneath
the engine Oh these central rails
would not only ring a bell and cause
a lamp, corresponding with the track
upon which the train has been run
ming, to glow in the signal box, but
bells would ring and red or green
lamps glow on the engine itself, the
color Of the lamp depending upon
which rail the signal man had con-
nected with a negative.

FIGHTING IN THE BALKANS.
Insurgents Make Effective Use OF
Terrible Hand Grenade,

Reginald Wyon in his recently pub
lished book on "The Balkans from
within" writes from the interior Of
blockhouse on the Turoc-Bulgarian
frontier: 1--WE are shown captured
bombs, heavy cylinders used for blow
ing up buildings and the dreaded hand
grenade, whose short fuse is calmly
lighted by a burning cigarette and
hurled among the attacking Turks. A
man must indeed have nerves of iron
to do this deed. Picture a devoted
handful of men surrounded by an over
whelming force Of Turks, slowly but
surely drawing nearer. Now they are
a hundred yards away. fifty yeards--
luckily they shoot abominably-but 1t
is too far to put the weight with ef-
feet.
"They must wait, though here and
there a bullet fired at random thins
out the little band. A rush-now. See!
One cody lights the fuse and quickly
burls it at the foe. He must make no
mistake, his aim must be correct and
his erm strong. A sin at the moment
Of throwing means his and his COM
rades's lives instead of the Turks, for
the fuse is very short. But he has
thrown 1t we'll; the Turks see it com.
ing and halt in blind fear.
"a deafen.ng crash, screams and
yells Of anguish, and the Turks break
and run, shot down by the triumphant
insurgents. Down into the valleys they
fly, to the nearest village, where theil
officers, anxious to save themselves
asemblance of authority, order Its
massacre and pillage. And the nex1
day we read of the determination Of
another band"

The Boy and the samarItans.

The other night two women hurry
ing around the avenue corner at Sew
enteenth street almost stumbled over
a man who lay on his back across the
tagging; his face silver white in the
moonlight. Near him stood a boy.
The women were terrified and the boy
explained:

stunned himself in falling. My friend
and found HIM here, and he has gone
for a DOCTOR"
Poor fellow!" said one of the wom-
en-, "how pitiful he looks with his head
on the bare stone"
The boy must have thought so, too.
for he took out his handkerchief and
doubled 1t into tiny pillow. Then
the doctor came and the crowd gath.

And the Samaritans passed on

MiIIionaire's First $1,000.

Thomas Dolan, millionaire head of
the Philadelphia United Gas Improve
ment company, was ash d many times
to give his views on the question of
how to get rich. He could never be
induced to give the story until he was
approached upon the subject one day
by reporter who had been fortunate
enough to do the millionaire good
turn. The newspaper man asked him
how he had made his first $1,000.
"You want the truth, l suppose" said
Mr.. Dolan. Certainly" well,
never had any first $1,000. I had $3.50
and a reputation for making good
My reputation made my $3.50 look like
$500 to another fellow and he trusted
me. My first deal showed a profit Of
$4,000, so that my first $1,000 was
really $3.50"

WYOMING TABLE
ETIQUETTE.

There are a great many people who
they do thing that if not absolutely
outre and ensemble. are at least plan
issimo and sine die.
1t is with a view to elevating the
popular taste, and etherealizing, so to
speak, the manners and customs of our
readers, that we give below a few hints
upon table etiquette
If by writing an article of this kind
we can induce one man who now wipes
his hands on the table-cloth to come
up and take higher ground. and wipe
them on his coat. we shall feel amply
repaid
If you can not accept an invitation to
dinner. do not write your regrets On
the back of a pool check with a blue
pencil. This is now regarded as rico
Chef. a sufficient note 10 Your host
informing him that your washer-wo-
man refuses to relent is sufficient
On seating yourself at the table.
draw off your gloves. and put them in
your lap under your napkin. Do not
put them in the gravy, as it would ruin
the gloves and cast a gloom over the
gravy. If you have just cleaned your
gloves with benzine, you might leave
them out in the front yard
If you happen to drop gravy on your
knife-blade, back near the handle. do
not run the blade down your throat
to remove the gravy. as it might in
lure your epiglottis, and it is not cons
sidered embonpoint, anyway
When you are at dinner do not take
I'D a raw oyster on your fork and play
fully ask your host if il is dead. Re-
marks about death at dinner are in
very poor taste.
Pears should be held by the stems
and peeled gently but firmly. not as
though you were skinning a dead
horse. 1t is not bonton.
Oranges are held on a fork while be-
ing pealed. and the facetious style Of
squirting the juice into the eye of your
hostess is now au revoir
Stones in cherries or other fruit
should not be placed upon the table
cloth. but slid quietly and unostenta-
tiously into the pocket of your neigh
