Campaign for Safety.

The vice-president of a great Ca
madam railroad has issued a circular
as a part of the safety first" cam
paign of that company which makes a
thorough and exhaustive study of the
causes of accidents and their preven-
ton. He states that the prime mo-
tive of the movement is to correct un-
safe conditions and practices before
accidents have occurred and to inves-
tigate accidents that happen with the
view of discovering the causes there
for and devising corrective measures
to prevent future accidents of the
same kind.

Dusk was settling over stretches OF
purple land, and already the room was
peopled by shadows. Work was over;
there were sounds of cheerful prepara
tons for supper; from the house came
faint chords of laughter.
1t was the hush that precedes the
evening as it does the dawn; the hour
of reverie, in which all music is sweet
and forgotten faces arise to haunt.
Speed stood where the girl had left
him. miserable, hopeless. helpless. And
certainly his love was lost. He had

Now that this primitive system OF
illumination is unnecessary it is still
the custom for the pious to attend to
the shrines, frequently in the fulfill
ment of some VOW made to Christ, the
Madonna, or some favorite saint, in
gratitude at recovery from illness or
for some other benefit received.
Amongst the poor classes the Gus
tom of making vows is very general
in South Italy. Some of them are
very curious and all are most scrupul-
ously and rigidly observed. In the

A great deal Of woman's charac-

who have studied physiognomy can
tell, almost at a glance, a wonan's
disposition, her talents and occupa-

Look before you leap, young man.
But keep this fact in mind;
The ones who never leap at all
