"THE OLD HOMESTEAD"

The following tribute of the late
Eugene Field was deeply regarded
by Denman Thompson. AS THE
Old Homestead" comes to the Lyric
on Thursday, Dec. 28, we are pleased
to publish same at this time:
Jest as atween the awk'ar lines a
hand we love has penn'd
Appears a meanin' hid from other
eyes;
So, in your simple, homespun art, old
honest Yankee friend,
A power o. fearful, sweet sugges-
tion lies.
We see it all-the picture that your
mem'ries hold so dear
The homestead in New England
far away;
And the vision is so nat'ral-like we
almost seem to hear
The voices that were heshed but
yesterday.
All! who'd ha' thought the music of
that distant childhood time
Would sleep through all the
changeful, bitter years
To waken into melodies like Christ
mas bells a-chime,
An to claim the ready tribute of
OuT Tears.
Why, the robins in the NAPLES an
the blackbirds round the
pond,
The crickets an the locusts in the
leaves,
The brook that chased the trout
adown the hillside jest beyond,
An the swallers in their nests be-
meath the caves
They all come troopin' back with
you, dear Uncle Josh, to-day,
An, they seem to sing with all the
joyous zest
OF the days when we were Yankee
boys an Yankee girls at play,
With nary thought of Twin way
out West!
With this music an these memoir
les O. youth
God bless ye, Denman Thompson, for
the good y do our hearts
God bless ye for the faculty that tops
all human arts,
The good OF Yankee faculty of
Truth!

Will Shorten Time.

A new time card will go into ef-
feet on the Erie on Tuesday, Janu-
ary 2. The only change made is in
No. 8, the Wells-Fargo express from
Chicago to New York which will be
given a running time over the Sus-
quehanna division of three hours and
eight minutes as against three hours
and twenty-five minutes under the
present schedule.
The Wells-Fargo express train will
now be the fastest train on the Sus-
quehanna division. Only one inter-
mediate stop is made, that being at
Elmira for water. To cover the Sus-
quehanna division, a distance of lao
miles means that the train must av-
erage close to sd miles an hour for
the entire distance and that at times
the engineer must make 60 and 65
miles an hour to make up for slow
downs through villages and Cities

New Whistles For Erie.

The Erie Railroad Company an
nounced recently that each passen-
ger engine in the Erie's suburban
service is getting equipped with ex-
ira low-tone whistle, which is to be
used on every occasion except when
the louder whistle is required for
emergency use, such as calling in a
flag when the trainhand has gone
out too far to hear the low-tone
whistle, or for dangerous road cross
ings in a storm or fog.
The whispering whistle" is ex-
pected to add greatly to the comforts
of life in the suburbs. The wild
shrek of the early trains has proved
disturbing to commuters who are not
compelled to arise early in the morn
ing.

To Megaphone From the Towers.

Megaphones are being distributed
to the men in charge of the various
interlocking towers along the Sus-
quehanna division of the Erie rail-
road.
The megaphones are to be used to
communicate orders from the towers
to the conductors and engineers of
passing trains.
This is an innovation in railroad
work and it will be given thorough
trial on the Susquehanna division. If
it operates as well as expected the
plan will be adopted on all branches
of the road.

Creosoted Ties Used by Lackawanna

By the end of this year the Lack
awanna Railroad company will have
placed 1885 creosote railroad ties,
twice as many tie plates and four
times as many screw spikes on its
system. The road claims that labor
atory and field tests have shown that
screw spikes in an oak tie treated
with creosote has an excess holding
power over the nail spike of SS.1
per cent. The holes are first bored
in the ties at the proper spacing to
receive the spikes and the former
are then sent to treating retorts
where creosote oil is forced into the
cells of the wood under pressure of
175 to 200 pounds to the square
inch,

CoIors Warm and Cold,

One clear, cold winters day Benja-
min Franklin spread a number Of
handkerchiefs carefully on level
stretch Of snow. One Of the handker-
chiefs was black. another white and
the others Of various colors. Some
time afterward he returned and re-
moved the hankerchiefs carefully one
by one. measuring the depth of snow
under each. Under the black handker-
chief he found that the snow had melt
ed considerably; under red handker-
chief, almost as much: under a blue
handkerchief, very little. and under the
white one scarcely any. By this simple
experiment he learned that color has
great deal to do with the warmth Of
clothing. White sheds the suns heat
almost as we'll as an Oilskin sheds
water; blue is nearly as heat proof;
green is less so; yellow is a warm color,
red still warmer color, while black
soaks up almost all the suns heat that
strikes it. Make the experiment some
time and you will see why black
clothes are out of place in the summer
time and white ducks in winter
