The queerest text book in the world perhaps is tho thick, yol low paged pamphlot used ts a guide by the switch operators at the Grand Central station. 833 combinations ro. forring to the looks, interlocks, chocks and signals operated by the groat lov. era are registered between the covers. And although to the outsider the text is unintelligible is Sanscrit or Chi noso, being one successivo complexity of signs, capitals and numbers, there are men who know the whole score by heart and others who are study. ing it daily as a stop to promotion to the switchman's ranks. Certainly in no one spot in the city is there more concentrated en orgy continually exercised than in the switchtower of tho station yard. The men manipulating the many gay. colored long-handled lovers ranged side by side in the middle of the floor give the impression of playing upon somo quaint instrument, the key. board of which only is visible. The players pull down a blue lever here and shovo up a red one beyond, reaching over to snap a third in place. Black, rod, yellow, blue: yellow, black, blue, rod, back and forth they snap tlio handles, the execution all in accord with the jottings and formu las of that yellow text book. The visitor in the stronghold dur ing rush hours is stuck with the im passivo orderliness with which things are conducted. No fuss; overything quiet except for the movoent of the feet on the bare floor as thvy step forward and back in attendance on the huge instrumont; the click, click of the differont liberated lovers set tling back in place and the tinkling of the signal bolls in stool reverbora tors. The moon-faced clocks sentinelled along the wall at a height oven with the men's eyes are muto. Their big hands show the timo to the frac tion of a second, but they waste no energy in needless tickling. The switchmen aro of like description. Their entire attention given to the business of the moment, even while looking out for the business to come, with almost superhuman accuracy, carefully considering, listening to the signalling of the bells and the grind ing of the swvitch locks and answering to their orders. The foreman and the interpreter for the grand seems to have mastered the problem of doing a dozen things at once, HIe sounds the plunge bells that send signals to half hun dred places out in the tunnel. He lks through the megaphone out of window to the trainmen in the rd below. lIe regulates a special atch of levers and keeps in touch with the operators in the telegraph room beyond. lie keeps this up eight hou'rs each day. Afteor one has looked on at and lis to to the tower doings for a con sidorab2Limno the various sounds take on hg inctness. It can be judged ftrom th' ,stolid thub or the keen click of a relejifd lever whether the iron feelers it rhulates are weighty and long reaching r con trol only the turning of a lock or1W, giving a signal. And for the electric bells! Each has a message of its own. New one i tickles repeatedly and instantly, the t same whirring racket again and again, a meaning that the foreman 1 chalks down in graphic signals on his slate to be held up for the gang's edification, and later to be answered with a number of stout pulls on his plunge bells. Now comies a brief, quick ring apparently *inconsequent, but the levers respond to it promptly. Again a prolonged tinkling at the ex treme end of the room causes the head man to catch up his megaphone and shout hu'riedly to yard hands outside. "A trainload of scenery coming in I" lovers. A few seconds later comes a sig nal giving word that a special funer al train must bo allowed for. The towormon can judge with tolerable accuracy the workings and movemonts of their outbound trains, but the inbounds k p thorn guess ing and the signals along the hun dred block-tunnel are watched nar rowly. With the specials and extra assignments to be considored there can be no invariable rules and some times even the least used lever of the 170 odd is brought into requisition. "After making 17th street, got in as soon as you can," is the station yard order that the enginoors go by, but the getting in is apt to be modi flied by various happenings. The picked towormen have the switch combinations so at their fin gors ends that if there is a single bit of tackle or apparatus not being worked for all it is worth they can suggest a resource for the yardmas ter when he is in a tight place. From the tower windows one gets a view of the patch work of tracks without the trains and and locomo tives being shifted about at the bid iing of the lovers. Up at the nar row neck of the yard waits an in bound train panting to get home, but locked fast until a track can be clear 3d for it. Two trains stand ready to start out at just a minutes difference in the starting time; the engineers waiting neck to neck like racers trrining to be off. On the right a locomotive is making the flying 3witch to be off from the train it brought in and scudding away to grooming ground, while the sleepers ind passenger coaches roll into the tation shed to unload. A local train is being backed into he station only to reappear on an ther track a moment afterward, and i shining, bright locomotive comes puffing out of the roundhouse where it was despatched to be coaled, wa :ered and turned round. Its fresh ippoarance makes the shabby push )r, one'of the drudges of the yard hat is being 'switehed about on or rands, appear all the more humdrum md neglected. The long distance trains, pets of he road, are started off, their tenders piled with coal and every, bearing md surface shining as if assured of iigh priced business. All hands :ake interest in the start of these gilt Adged flyers, and the lovers that se. mure the track to them sink back to place with a gratified thud as if do ng something worth while. The switch operators are always hosen from omployes about the sta ion; sometimes trainhands or t'ssist mnt baggage men or general helpers. Iamiliarity with railroad and orngin 3ering matters is a good foundation or the studying of the combinations .n the switchman's text hook, and mployees look forward to a berth in ~he tower force just as salesmen in a ihop aspire to the place of buyer or mtockk.eeper in their departments, althbough many apply to be switch non few are chosen and fewer still cconme experts. The switchman nust be strong andd able to endure rat igue, for some levers are exceed ungly heavy and are used continu msly. A retentive memory and nim aleness of movement are essential, md even if with these recommenda bions the applicant has not presence >f mind ho cannot 1il1 the post. A aervous man is out of the count. The foreman' of the towar gang ypggenerally had seven or ten years' Lppreii'I,ceship. Sunday afternoon a the cho~ time for the beginner o practic. ' fhn only half the isual quota of tr ins are running, mud he can apply th theory learned ~rom the text book to practical ad. rantage, experimenting ;th the less ivorking levers and makin the re mits, as well as taking lesson\( in in oerpreting the bell signals. The hours along from midniaht to 1.85 a. in., are the slack time the tower.

"We have to take on extra hands in all deparir.mnts whenever thero is a big drive on, but never any raw ro. cruits got into tho tower," said one of the ollicial-. "Sometimes the Old switchmeon who have been laid off for i rest come to us in omorgeucy, and again cortain nien in the regular shifts are willing to do doublo duty. "Aro thero any accidents? Oh, oc casionally thor, is a close shavo, or barely averted blunder that makes the switchion tremble after the dan ger is all over. But switchmon never toll their troubles and oscapes, and, besides, the.y ire as nearly por feet in their role as any human ma chinery can be. Thero is too much ) at stake to alford any carolessness. "The men are either entirely com- ( potent or they won't do. At stated intervals they are examined so as to insuro no lapsing from the standard. t Their health, memory, sense of dis tance and proportion, knoWledge of 1 color all are testod.

"Twenty-four switchmen aro now kept continuously employed, work ing in separate gangs of eight each. But there are fully thirty on the yardmastor's roll, the extras kept a3 a relief emergency force, to be roliod on when wanted. st CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tho Slgnature of A GIRL FULL OF N14EI)LES. Sho Says She Swallowed them when Sho was 11 Years Ol(l-Hor Present Ago Is Not Given, but Preauma bly she Is Young. 1 lIris, April 13.-A dispatch from St. Germain, near this city describes the extraordinary case of Julienne Landrieux, a servant girl, from whoso Lody dozens of needles are being ex tracted. The girl complained of con siderable irritation of the skin, and last Thursday went to a local drug gist, wvho found a number of needles emerging from various parnts of her body. He extracted them with pincers. The girl has returned sev oral times a day since, and up to this morning the druggist has drawn out 120 needles from her arms, hands, feet, breast, the lobe of her ear, her eye-lids and the corner of her right eye. The girl experiences no pain until she feels the needle piercing the epidermis. The needles always emerge thick end first, and unless im mediately extracted disappear again. Two reputable newspapers, the Matin and the Temups, havo investi gated the matter and vouch for the authenticity of the story. MIle Lan drioux says that fivo years ago, when she was 11 years of age, she amused herself with other childron, by swal lowing quantities of needles. She swallowed forty- nine ine one day and never felt any inconvenience until recently, and she has enjoyed the best of health. While relating the foregoing to the reporter of the Temps, who saw her at the drag gist's, she exclaimed: "I feel one in my eye now." T1he druggist then upturned 11cr right eye-lid and with a magnet took out fragments of needles. A surgeon of tile hospital at Lai Salt-Petriere said in an interview that the case was quite unprecedented. Needles inserted under the skin were known to have b)een b)orno through the musces, but there was no record to show that a needle introduced into the stomach emerged from the lobe of the car. In such a case tihe needle must have traversedl the.skull, \'hinh in incomprenhensible. A HUT U0 1' NSAR1Y IUHIHT. STATI lOAll) Vs. Till TE UAIRI.ESTON COUNTY B5OARMI,.

A beer dis >onser can only buy his supplies hrough the State board, and if the state board will not recognize Mr. Farnum's election he cannot legally ,et boer for sale unless lie goes into he courts and the courts order the itate board to recognizo him as the ogally elected hoer dispenser of Jharleston.
