pose Of the campaign the employees and officers are being organized from the lowest rank in the operating department to the highest On every division there has been formed committee of safety, each being con- posed of an engineer, a conductor, 8 fireman, brakeman, trackman and a switchman, who are appointed by the superintendent.
 Similar committees have been formed in the various division shops, being appointed by the master mechan- ics. In the Chicago shops the com mittee is appointed by the superin- tendents of shops and the superin- tendent of motive power and machin- cry. These committees in the me chanical department consist of one man from each shop. There has also been appointed a committee on safety for the large yards in Chicago, com posed of switchmen, who are appoint ed by the trainmaster of freight ter minals
 The personnel of these committees is changed constantly, one man on each committee retiring and a success sor to him being appointed each month. Their duty, according to the 1 Railway Age Gazette, is to investigate the causes of accidents, to seek to get their fellow employees to do all they can to remove them, and, when any action needs to be taken by employees, to recommend 1t to their superior of ficers. The purpose of the frequent changes of personnel is to familiarize with and interest in the subject of ac- cidents, their causes and remedies, as many men as practicable, and there by create among employees as much of the right kind of sentiment as pos sible. The committees meet monthly.
 A central committee to receive the reports and supervise the work of the committee of safety has been appoint ed. Matters requiring action which exceeds the authority of this commit tee will be referred to the general managers.

be that devised by a California man and shown here. This contrivance consists of couple of cleaning stones held in juxtaposition in resilient frame. The frame consists of two inverted V-shaped wires with springs connecting the three corners of each. This has the effect of keeping the stones closer together all the time, but allowing enough leeway for the admission of a knife blade or the tines of fork, which can be cleaned by being rubbed up and down a few times. The springs will insure suf- ficiently strong pressure to give good frictional action at all times.

Useful Hints.

Milk will clean piano keys satisfac- torily. It will take out ink spots of long standing. Used in starch 1t will give a fine gloss. It will remove dis coloration from gilt mirrors and pic ture frames. Used with bluing for lace curtains it will make them look like new.

Chicken a Ia HoIIandaise.

Take out the breast bone of a large young fowl and fill up the space with a nice force meat. Make batter as for fritters and when the fowl is half roasted pour the batter over, let dry and then pour on more until 1t is thickly coated and rich brown color. Remove from pan, cut up as for a fricassee, place on platter, lay corn fritters around the edge of dish, scat. ter some sprigs of parsley over, and serve at once with melted butter and lemon quarters. Oyster force meat is nice.

 the undoing Of the section hand and the rail gang man, who for fifty years or more have travelled from coast to coast and laid the steel rails that gird the country.
 The origin and necessity for the machine resulted from the Creeks aversion to lifting. He doesn't hate work, but he does despise heavy lift Ing. In the days when the Irishman nour1shed on the section and in the rail gang eight men would take a 700 pound rail and lift it above their heads, and they delighted in such feats of strength and skill.
 But not the Greeks. Sixteen Greeks to 7OO-pound rail are none too many. and likely as not they will consume i've minutes carrying the rail up a fve-foot embankment where the Irish men would have had it up in a min ute.
 Over half of the section gangs in America are made up of Greeks, and even a larger proportion of the rail gangs are of Hellenic origin. A ma chine was necessary and the engineers got busy in hurry.

In Cooking Oysters.

In scalloping oysters do not use much of the liquor. Milk may be sub stituted. Put on plenty of butter, twice as much on the top layer as on the under ones, or it will not be well Drowned. For creamed oysters use all the liquor from the oysters in place of some of the milk This quite changes the flavor of the dish
