Sorrow. (
KUa Wheeler Wilcox.
The uses of sorrow I comprehend, |
Better anil better at each year's end.
Deeper and deeper I seem to see
Why and wherefore It has to be.
Only after the dark, wet days
Do we full rejoice in the sun's bright rays.
Sweeter the crust tastes after the fast.
Than the sated gourmand's lined repast.
And one who has dwelt with his griel alone
Hears all tbo music in friendship's tone.
8n better and better I comprehend
How sorrow ever would be our friend.
About KaiIroa<l Dangers.Signal*.
"What is the danger-signal V" asked
Hal, who was beginning to consider
these railroad signals almost as Important
aud well worth knowing as those
in which he drilled his foot-ball
team.
"Red for danger, green for caution,
and white for safety ; flags by day and
lanterns at night," replied the railroad
uncle, adding : "I am sure you must
have noticed men at road-crossings
waving white flags to show that the
track was clear, as your train rushed
by ??
"Of course I have," answered Hal.
"Or the watchman on sharp curves
f*oo wQirincr orrppn fljiirw fm
<U1U UIIUJWJ '""""6 fc,'-? o
much as to say : 'You may go ahead,
but you must do so with caution ?"
"1 don't remember seeing tbem,"
responded Hal; "but I'll look out ior
the green flags the very next time 1 '
go in the cars."
"A red flag or a red light is imperative,"
continued Mr. Holdeu, ' and
means, 'Sound the call for brakes aud
stop at ouce.' There are other danger
and cautionary signals I think you
would be especially interested in,"
added his uncle; torpedoes aud fuses, I
for instance. A toroedo upon the rail '
is one of the most Used and most reliable
of all the danger-signals.""But
I shouldn't thing it would be
loud enough," objected Hal. "Why ?
don't you use something louder?say
can non-crackers ?''
"Oh, you are thinking of the little
paper-wrapped torpedoes, such as children
play with; but they are not the
kind 1 mean. A railroad torpedo is a
round tin box, just about the size of a
silver dollar, tilled with percussion
powder. Attached to it are two little
leaden strips that can be bent under
the edges of the rail, so as to hold the
torpedo flrmly in position on top of it.
In this position when a locomotive
wheel strikes it with the force of a
aitwifro-hammpr it exDlodes with a re
port fully as loud as a cannon-cracker, I
that can be plainly heard above all I
other sounds of the train. It is a
warning sufflcientto arouse theengineman,
and to render him keenly alert:
"If a train meets with any accident
or obstruction that bids fair to cause a
delay of more than a few seconds, the
engineman sounds five short whistle
blaste ,( ). On hearing this
signal the rear brakeman must immediately
run back a quarter of a mile or <
so, and place a torpedo on one of the J
rails that his train has just passed 1
over. Then, going back about two {
hundred yards further, he places two t
more torpedoes a rail's length apart. [
He then returns to the first torpedo,
and, with his red flag in hand, stands
there until the recall signal is sounded
from his own train. On hearing this,
he picks up and takes with him the
single torpedo, but leaves the other two
where tbey are.
"These two torpedoes thus form a
cautionary signal, and, translatei by .
the next following engineman, mean :|.
'The train ahead of you has met with t,
a delay. Move cautiously, and keep a (
a sharp lookout.' The single torpedo
is an imperative warning to apply the t
air-brakes, 'Shut ofl,' and 'Ke verse!' J
?in other words, 'Stop at once, for ?
there is danger immediately ahead.' T

A CnrelfNM Pout lire. 8
Grown people and children alike are 1
inclined to fall into a very had habit
of sliding down into a chair and sitting
for hours with the spine bent almost
in a half circle. That this is injurious
thousands of people who in- I
dulge in it never so much as dieam, I
but that it is the cause of many serious
ills those who have investigated
the subject are well aware.
The continual strain upon one side
of the spinal column, with the corre- r
sponding compressions on the other,
give rise to nervous difficulties and affections
of the brain. Dizziness, nau- r
sea and blind spells are not infrequently
the result of this practice. ?
While the strictly upright position is i
undoubtedly the most healthful, it 'J
seems ramer naru worK 10 persuuue v
the young and indolent to maintain
it.
Lazy people and those who love luxury
have a habit of "slumping," so
to speak, into their chairs and remaining
in a semirecumbent position, with
the spine as nearly telescoped as
may be. That portion of the human J
ahtomy generally known as the backbone
was intended to be worn iu an J
upright position, and the coustant
pressure of the sections of the ver- s
tebrae upon each other is productive a
of various ills. "
What They Knew About W?*hlngton. j1
An Everett school teacher, whose ?
charges range in age from 5 to 7 years, A
determined to celebrate the anniversary
of the natal day of the father of .
his country by asking a few questions.
This was the interrogatory which she ^
propounded : "What can you tell me
about George Washington?" And
these are a few of the individuals ,
answers:
"He was the savior of us all."
"He was the owner of all the soldiers."
"He was the man who can shoot
straight. J
"He discovered this country."
"He was.the first man in the
world."
He was the man who never bragged."
"He is the only man in the world
who never told a lie."
"If the train is delayed at night, the
rear brakeman sometimes leaves another
bit of fireworks behind him
when called in. It is a 'fusee,' which
is a paper cone containing enough red
fire, inextinguishable by wind or rain,
to burn exactly five minutes, which is
the shortest length of time allowed between
two running trains. The engineman
of a following train . must
stop when he comes to a fnsee, and
not move ahead until it hiu: burned
out, though he can calculate from its
condition just about how far ahead the
nest train 19.?ivirs ^uunroe, in 01.
