OUR EARLY RAILROADS.
Rules That Used to Be In Force Half a
Century Ago.

Rules That Used to Be In Force Half a
Century Ago.
A curious relic of railroad operation
some fifty years ago in Tennessee and
Georgia is exhibited In the following
extracts from the rules then in force:
Each engineman will keep a watch,
which must be regulated by the time OF
bis conductor at the commencement OF
each trip and will always have in his
possession the current schedule book.
Should any stock be killed which
may be likely to endanger the safety
of the next train passing, the engine
man will stop his train until track Is
cleared.
AS a general rule, when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Any dispute
as to which train has to retire is to be
determined at once by the conductors
without any interference on the part
of the enginemen. This rule is re-
quired to be varied in favor Of heaviest
loaded engine or the worst grades. Ii
they meet near the center, In case of
backing, a man must be placed on the
lookout, so that any danger to the rear
most part Of the train may be seen and
the engineman at once receive notice.
The backing must be done cautiously

ception is made when dress materials
have been cut from the bolt. One day
recently a customer purchased ten
yards of two toned silk, which the
clerk assured her was the most fash
ionabIe fabric of the season. When
she reached home with her purchase
she decided, on reflection, that a wool
en- material would be more serviceable.
Accordingly she returned to the store
the next day and requested the ex-
change. The clerk explained that 1t
was an impossibility. as the goods had
been cut.
"Why, bought this with the dis

woman, "that | could return 1t. Did

When the squid is alarmed the ink
bag that connects with the slphon
opens its valve and a cloud of black
fluid Is elected into the water, where
1t becomes quickly diffused, forming
an effectual bar to pursuit. The squids
also have faculty of changing their

laboring under great excitement waves
of color seem to pass over them in
quick succession. Their motions are
extremely rapid, dartlng along with
the velocity of light, now rushing into

Newark, N. j., is trying a plan in
its public schools whereby pupils are
relieved from the necessity of home
study, all this being done il school
hours under the super vision OF
teaohers. The school day starts at
$3.50 instead Of at 8, and ends at three
instead of st 2:30. In addition, every
teacher remains in his room until 4
in order to aid personally. students
who have found difficulties in their
work and have come voluntarily for
assistance. Except for half hour
given to enetal exercises In the morn
ing, the day is divided into five per
iods of an exact hour each, with i've
minute iutermissions and a short
noon recess. Each period is sppor-
toned roughly into two parts, one
part for recitation by the pupil and
one part for the doing of what else.
where is called "bome work." The
plan is said to work well SO far as the
pupils are concerned, since the most
of them do more studying than they
were accustomed to do at home. 1t
is perhaps little hard on the teach
ers, however.

DOGS OF ALASKA.


A Story That illustrates Their Won
derfuI intelligence.
Dogs on the trail often display intel
ligence that seems almost human. On
one occasion I remember was driving
a team of dogs down the Yukon river
and had one dog in the team called
Tommy, who was good dog In his
way, but who showed n strong dislike
to being harnessed-to such an extent
that In the morning, when all the other
dogs were hitched to the sleigh, Tommy
would hide himself under cabin or
bury himself In the snow.
This continued for several mornings,
and beating him seemed to have no eff
feet. One morning, however, the team
had been standing in the cold waiting
for Master Tommy. l finally dlscov-
cred him hiding under the roots of
tree, and as soon as / came in sight,
dragging the dog, the entire team, NOV
ed by common impulse, bounded to-
ward me and at once administered q
terrible thrashlng to Tommy.
/ finally rescued him from his angry
companions, and after that Tommy
was always the first to put his head
In the collar in answer to my whistle.
