A PoRcUPiNE FAMILY.
Mother Trailed Her Young to Room
Where They Were Kept.

Some workmen who were employed
cutting down trees in wood found
nest OF five little porcupines in little
hollow. Seeing neither of the ami
mails parents and that the little por-
cupines were hungry they took them
distance of four miles and presented
them to their employers children,
who kindly cared for the animals.
Late in the evening the house dog
set up a great howl outside. The girl
opened the door, when the excited dog
rushed in with a bleeding nose. Close
ly behind big porcupine walked
quickly through the hall The dog
was furious, but the porcupine shifted
her way to the door without needing
the dog at all. The door was open
and she trotted through another room
to the next door and from there to the
box where her babies We're. She
crawled into the box and laid herself
by her little ones, talking soothingly
and nursing them to sleep.
The next evening the dog began the
same racket, and when the girl went
out he was rolling big ball of quilts
around in great dismay. She took the
ball in her apron and carried 1t to the
box. 1t turned out to be Mr.. Porcu-
pine, who also wanted to be with ms
family.
The children took the reunited fam
ily to the barn. Here the porcuplnes
seemed happy all winter and were SO
tame that they often crawled into the
chiIdren's laps to be petted Toward
spring the door of the barn was left
open one night and in tn emorning the
porcupine family was missing. How
it happened that the door was opened
the children never understood, but I
think their mother thought the por-
cnpines wanted to be free again.

Wireless Railway Teleuraph.

great transcontinental railroad
system is to be equipped in the near
| future with complete wireless tele-
| graph outfit as an additional safe
guard to the lives entrusted to it's
| care. Such an equipment will be COM
paratively inexpensive and capable of
performing tremendous service in
times of storm.
The billiards. which sweep across
our western plains during the winter
months cripple all overhead wire
equipment and render the running of
trains extremely hazardous. Tele-
phones have long been used as an aid,
out bllZzards have way of taking
both telegraph and telephone wires
which renders the telephone of little
trio block signal. now in general use,
aids greatly, but accidents occur still.
The air brake has saved thousands of
lives. In fact every safety device
used on the great railroad systems.
designed to reduce the terrible total
of lives lost, accomplishes something
The total is still far too large, how
ever, and the search for some means
t" reduce it, goes on.
The locomotives will be equipped
with receiving stations so that it will
be feasible for the engineer rushing to
death and disaster through the mis-
take sleepy telegrapher or
wrongly worded order to receive
warning in ample time to prevent a
collision or other disaster. Impend-
ing accidents would thus be prevented
in the only way possible.
Between telegraph offices an engi-
neer has been at the mercy of his or
ders If they were wrong, he paid the
penalty. Sometimes others died with
him. 1t mattered not that the tele-
graph operator discovered his mistake
a minute after the train had proceed
ed on its way. There was no way of
reaching the engineer except at the
next telegraph office. Often that was
too late.
With the wireless apparatus in good
working order the train will never be
out of touch with the men in control
1t can be reached in an instant and
heio or forwarded as the occasion de-
mands. Such use of the wireless
opens new fields of usefulness Of
which its inventors did not dream

LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
He Guessed Her Age.

Among the corps of instructors in
one of Washington's High schools is a
woman highly esteemed as teacher
of American history. The class UNI
der her care had under consideration
one day topics concerning the Civil
War, when one lad volunteered, in IL
lustration of some point Il lurid ac-
count OF battle in which, ne claimed,
an uncle of his had participated
The teacher interpOsed to observe
that the anecdote could hardly be true,
as the uncle in question was near her
own age, and she was not born until
after the close of the war.
At this the boy seemed a trifie
chagrined at being so evidently in the
wrong. After a few moments of en-
barrassed silence, he said, with the
naive air of one who has much the
best of the situation

FAD OF PARIS WOMEN.
Nine. Rejane Has Started a Craze
for Lectures.

The conference craze has strongly
developed within the last six months
in Paris. 1t was Nine Rejane who
unconsciously started this fashion
among women.
This clever actress had fancy to
give a lecture in the theater that
bears her name. The hall was filed
with what is termed an all Paris au-
dience. and the lecture was supposed
to be on some old Russian author: but
nobody. least of all Nine. Re1ane.
troubled at all about the Russian ana
still less about the lecture. Accord
ing to the Gentlewoman, Nine. ReJane
had come to be seen, not to be heard
and the audience had every reason to
be pleased with what they saw
The staging, indeed, had been done
in mastery manner. Several screens
of a delicate pink hue had been so ar
ranged as to place the lecturer in full
view of the audience, as in kind of
boudoir. The lecturer was seated
behind a beautiful table on which stood
a vase filed with pink flowers, while
pile of books. also bound in pink
and supposed to be works by the be-
fore mentioned Russian, were taste
fully scattered about the table.
These books were never opened by
the lecturer, nor was there any use
for the chiselled inkstand, for the huge
new art penholder. the artistic paper
cutter and other utensils pertaining to
the world of letters, but they impart-
ed serious tone to the ensemble. It
is almost needless to say that Mime.
Rejane's gown and hat were pictures
in themselves.

The Vote On the Railroad Bill.

The vote in the National House OF
Representatives on the administration
railroad bill is a crushing blow to the
calamity howlers who had conjured up
a division in the Republican ranks, as
well as a bitter disappointment to the
gleeful Democrats who were already,
in their minds eye, appropriatng the
spoils of a hybrid triumph. 1t is a
Lbetter answer to the campaign of mis-
representation, half truths and unem-
bellished falsehood being conducted
by some of the daily newspapers, a
few of the weekly magazines and sew
eral of the monthly publications, than
any amount of printed reputation,
truth and legitimate argument.
When the test came, not only was
there no dissenting Republican voice.
but ten good Democratic brethren VINO
put good of country above petty dl1-
ferences in opinion, cast their votes
for the bill. Yes. instead of a united
Democracy tolling enough dissatisfied
Republicans from the fold to enable
them to administer a rebuke to the
party in power, the dissatisfied Re-
publcans" were a myth and the party
line was crossed by members of the
minority.
Why did the Republicans vote SOL
idly for the bill? Why did ten Demo-
Gratis forsake their colleagues and vote
for it too? They all voted for it be-
cause they believed it to be wise
piece of legislation, something de-
manded by the people. and something
absolutely necessary in order to regu-
late the relations between the rail-
roads and the people they serve.
1t is not a perfect bill. No one
claims that. 1t is not in exactly the
to the tender mercies OF the House.
II has been substracted from and
held up for inspection. 1t has been
inspected and found satisfactory in
the essentials, satisfactory to 200
of the House and ten of that
200 are Democrats.
The bill now goes to the Senate.
The Senate has had the same bill on
its hands and knows what is expect
ed. 1t has Topped off provision here
and there. but has put forth nothing
new. The House has advanced the
new ideas in this case. The question
now is, how much of this new matter
the Senate will permit to go into the
final draft The concensus of opinion
seems to be that most of the new
House provisions will be rejected and
the real battle fought in the con-
ference committee. However that
nay be, events have progressed far
enough now to warrant the prediction
hat the present Congress will pass "A
good railroad bill.

crop will be up to the average. In
fact the estimate on last years crop
of 446,OOO,0OO was 4o7,O00,OOO.
The estimate, so far as tabulated by
states, shows that in but three states,
Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee was
the estimate greater than the actual
crop a year ago. All the other states
underestmated their crop very sub
stantially. 1t is reasonable to believe
that the same is true this year.
The figures for the entire country
are regarded as reassuring, especially
as the sensational claims of crop
destruction We're found to be entirely
unwarranted after investigation by
government experts. With the excep-
ton of one or two states the wheat
crop will be up to the usual standard
The acreage sown last fall was the
largest on record and. but for the UNI
fortunate weather conditions which
prevailed during the winter and early
spring, the crop this year would nave
been the largest ever raised in this
country.
The acreage for 1910 is 33.4S3,000, of
which 4,439,00O or 1873 per cent. was
abandoned. In 1909, 30.034, 900 acres
were planted and 2.O13.OOO or ~ per
cent. was abandoned. In 1905 49,
$4,000 acres were planted and 1885,
600 acres abandoned. In 1907. 81
$4,000 were planted and 1907, 900
acres We're abandoned. In 1906. 81
$1,000 acres We're planted and 1916
600 acres were abandoned.
Maine does not figure as a wheat
producing state. Mississippi. with
but 1000 acres is the smallest unit
tabulated. Maine could produce a
part of the wheat used within the
State if more attention were given to
that crop. In the early history of the
State MUCH attention was given to
wheat 1t paid then and it would pay
now. if the proper variety We're
found. The great wheat growing
states are dividing their energies
among several crops of late years.
They have found that the risk is too
great when the eggs are all in one
basket Why cannot Maine at least
grow part of its own wheat for home
consumption?
