Joyce. ej( ^ ce! f How the Signal 1 i Man ; I Lost His Job, j E BN leaving Chicago datfy thi MeFadden and Forbe3 had ite a certain street crossing wi to which they came, and 4 at which they never failed trr to lean far out of the cab of their en- jol gine and shout to an old man who tie stood by the way waving a white flag do In his bands. This old man was Denis kil Fahey, keeper of that crossing for he thirty-sis years, and at the time of this W story ninety-one years old. It was his ] fond boast that he was not only the op oldest crossing flagman in the United ws States, but longest in such a position, inj "an' a railroad mon, ivery inch o' all blm." ve: It was not a bad crossing as grade th< crossings go in Chicago. The number thi of accidents a year there rarely ex- to ceeded five or six, and the fatalities thi (were comparatively few. The street of ran straight away from each side of scl the track; it was clear and open, the sp< mrAfooflAn ffo+oe trora mn^orn ftnri fh/ Denis most watchful. He knew every tra human in the district, and every horse G and cow, and it but needed his voice in or the sight of his flag to -warn them fal not to venture,on the tracks until the gli gates raised. hir McFadden and Forbes had taken a sal fancy to the old man because, despite hir his age, he was so prompt in doing ga1 his duty, so eager to let trainmen and ha< public see that he kept the crossing eh: as a sacred trust True, he only earned die $40 each month, but that held up his of tiny home and bit of garden, not far xrt from his place of work, and he was hit contented. That he would die appar- hir ently never entered his head; he acted th( as if he would be holding this crossing th( long after all about him were dead. he He knew every engineer and fireman in 5by name, the styles of their engines, their runs, which had the limited, the express, which the oriental freight, and q so on. His data on time tables was mo marvelous for his age. pai "NOi 5," he would say, "is due here iDt at 3.19 an' No. 6 will go by at 5.08. The Mr limited, if she's makin' her stame, will ca] be passing just at 2, an' you'll see Mc- an FAdden a wavin' his hand at me, fre I-"?~ an ! Then would come the limited at pro- q per time, and McFadden and Forbes iy iwonld be looking down, and perhaps TjC eomething wrapped in a paper would ani come out of the cab, and when the old SjS man picked it out of the ditch it was rec sure to have a remembrance inside for him* f ...s boi i 1 fra He was a gentleman, this Fahey. 0f There are railroad men not gentlemen. be( The boor, and what the president calls eVj "intentional asses," find their way into railroad work, the same as into other 0f callings. Some of them manage to j twist and sneak to live a career of ten pe, or fifteen years, arrogant, self-opinion- ]0B ated individuals. But they drop in be time, fall by the wayside, and the gen- th( tleman who is not afraid remains. caj Fahey had witnessed the downfall of no many employes, but through all the ani years he kept his kindly greetings and cheery word for the people who need- j ed protection over his crossing, and th< iwfcile the company knew little of him su] beyond his wage roll, the public that m? came to his care honored him. frc Iune cay jfaney picKea up Ms news- ter paper while off duty and bf chance to read a long description of the company's Intention to elevate its tracks. He saw that this elevation would take >] In his crossing, and that one of the sav- js Ings of the company through this work ja would be in the number of flagmen it ow Should be able to discharge. ma "I'll be lookln' for a job," said Fah- da ey, and felt a strange tugging at his xh heart To not have the flag in his ?g] hand every day, to have his crossing mt replaced with a subway, to miss the an, roar of the trains, the shouts of pass- -] ing trainmen, the joy of protecting pe- pa: destrians was something ho could not f0i imagine. He looked ~o hard and long at the offending newspaper that he suddenly found the lashes of his eyes ow ,wet and realized that the "crossing" had become so much a uart of him j that to be taken from it meant the end Of life for him. yC! | Many an inquiry did he make during t,0] the following weeks of those he met as 011< to the certainty of the tracks being jnj elevated. One and all assured him he hwork would commence in the spring ye: 1?rwl ha 111 nlota/1 I I** ?^ VVU.[y.vil.U ?> llJLilil CJ?,UICUI1 months. An Alderman said to him: to"I hated to get your job, Denis, but th< the tracks have got to go up, and the j work must commence here. This Iru slaughter of people must cease." re( In the long nights Fahey thought it all over. If, as a railroad man. he bad been a train despatches he felt that sa^ be might have had a hope of ending frc bis days in an asylum when labor was ou doDe; if he was an engineer there was good chance of his dying a wreck. But as flagman nothing faced him but 1 discharge. Fa hoy shook his head at be: this?discharged he would not be. tlx Now there came a change in his man- be jier of work. Fahey. who had never be; gone on the crossing himself except sin to catch some stray child, now ran bii rsrildly about at the approach of every Cli train. He would cross the track on of tanv provocation. waving .' is flaer and ho ting as if he thought people were enavoring to rush into danger. No iger be stood patiently by tbe track ring his signals. No. he must see ery part of the crossing, and this is particularly true when either the oited or fast mail passed. These o trains were the fastest on the dision. 'The old man is getting wonderfully ry," commented Forbes one morning McFadden. 'Yes," said the engineer, giving his ; iiistle cord a sharp pull, "but if he j er slips he's gone. I don't like his ; w system. Keep off the track, Fah," he shouted from his window, ihey could not hear what he said, but tiled back and waved his hand, rhe winter wore on and the days me near to hand when the track ; ?vation work was to begin. Fahey's j lerity or nervousness in guarding j 5 crossing was now apparent to j ery engineer and fireman on tHe ax* | sion. He had always been the best i ad of a flagman, but now he outshone I previous efforts. If a train was ap- j oaching and he saw a woman or i ild on the opposite side of the tracks j d coming toward him he would leap , er the rails and shout at them and , en run back to his old position just ; time to miss being struck himself, j 3e had not done this many times, j augh, with McFadden and the lim- j d before that engineer suspected mt was up. 'By jingo! Forbes," he said; "this tck elevation is the end of Fahey's 3, and he's trying to quit like a genman before he's fired. I'll bet a | liar to a cent that he doesn't care to i 1 himself, but would be tickled if i slipped some day and was caught j ithout the crossing he's done for." j Forbes did not share McFaddefi's ' inion, but both men kept a close j itch of Fahey, until one foggy mornj, when a bad rail, a nasty sky and j kinds of trouble in the yards, di? j fted their attention from him, and j ?y came down to his crossing -with | jnder and steam without a care as ; his whereabouts. And it was on j s morning tnat one of the children the neighborhood, hastening to i iool, thought it would be great ! jrt to run the crossing gates while j ?y were down and pass ahead of the .in. i The first th..t McFadden saw ahead the mist was a child stumbling and ling between the rails, next, one mpse of Fahey, between the rails nself and hurling the child into "ety; last, the engine upon Fahey nself, tossing him high, over the tes, and into the roadway. Duty [1 saved the old flagman not only disirge, but the pain of suicide. He had d for another on the eve of the end his labors. He never opened an eye ien McFadden and Forbes picked u up. The limited had mangled a, but could not take from his lips ? faint smile of contentment resting ?re; the reflection of the last thought ever gave earth.?H. I. Cleveland the Chicago Record-Herald. Bones of the Insane. 'he attendants in city hospitals wno ke a practice of calming demented tients by jumping on them will be erested in a paper read by Dr.1 lule Smith before the British MediAssociation. Dr. Smith stated that undue fragility of bones was not inquently met with among the insane er middle life. J .'he ribs, he said, was the most easi? affected; then followed the fiat pel: bones, the vertebrae, the skull cap i lastly, the long bones. An analyJ of 200 cases from the post-mortem ords of the West RidLug Asylum s made, the strength of the rib : les being tested with the hands. Xo i gility was found in twenty-sis out I twenty-seven cases of idiocy or im- j Gility. Melancholia was marked by dences of increased fragility, and j s was still more marked in the case ; dementia. iy knowing that the ribs of insane sons break most easily, while the ig bones are likely to be the last to fractured, the attendants can save j ?mselves a good deal of effort in | ming their patients. The veriest j vice should be able to break ribs, j [1 an attendant of experience should i ye no difficulty in fracturing skulls. ! f there is any public protest against i injuries to which the patients are bjected, a plausible showing can b? ide that the patient's ribs were so , igile that they broke when the at- . idant tried to lead his charge back j the ward.

THE CEOLOCICAL SURVEY. rtii lade by a Well-Trained and Disciplined PV I Scieutlflc Corj>.?. When the .Northern Pacific Railway ! j?? **as selecting coal lands in tbe dense- I i y forested regions of Washington, says | W | he Book lover's .\iagazine, the xeolo- i J ;lst in charge, having measured and ' ! !alculated the dip of the strata, said i j o his assistant, "J'-n, take your drill 1 ' rew over to section thirteen and see j r f you don't find coal about the middle j r )f the section." Jim, who knew that the geologist j ' j lad never visited section thirteen, | } I went off 011 what he considered a wild j I ?oose chase. When be arrived on the j ground tbe deep cover of undergrowth j j and soil prevented examination of the j 1 i rocks. But he went to work, and in i r ; a short time sent bis drill into a good j r i bed of coal, great quantities of which i | have since been used to haul trains ; 3 ! across tbe mountains. Jim would drill j f i n rtinnri haw if tbp cpnlncrist told ! j biiu there was coal in it. ' I Although it is uot always possible j j thus accurately to predict the discov- i ery of minerals, it can be done with j 1 sufficient frequency and certainty to j render valuable ihe mapping of soil I and rock strata which is being carried j out all over the country by the Nation | :.l Geological Survey. This work, first J j systemized in 3879. has progressed so j j far that a third of the area of the 3 ! United States, or about 1,000,000 a I m j I square miles, has been plotted, exam- |^qj ^ I ined and mapped. The maps describe ^ j the contour or changes in elevation of < the surface, the rainfall and draiuage, a'hd the geological formation, as well ^ as the railways, roads, rivers auci po- , ^ ^ litical divisions. j I? There is no better trained or disci- j M , plined scientific corps in the world ; R?a j than that which has this task in - charge. It is divided for field work ?yat into three chief divisions. The first plea to cover the ground is the topographi cal, which, after laying out the eoun- for t try in quadrangles of a square degree rem 1 each, surveys minutely everything Jest within those boundaries, measuring ' ^ the height of every hill and mountain, I Bur the depth of every valley, and the ? r course, direction and exact location of every watercourse or other feature This provides the now familiar contour map in which points of equal eleva- sin* tion above sea level are connected by ^?.6 a line. The presence or abs nee of ;^ii ? ! and mady lines id a sluuii area jhuhuics a 6teep slope or a gentle descent or a tin level plain. ' Following the topograpnieal workers come tbe geologists, who examine soil ^ and rocks, sink drills, examine bor 3 ee ings, measure tbe dip of strata and ; Pr0( study tbe geological formation of tbe | 0n whole region. On tbe .topographical | mai map they plot the colors, which by international agreement represent the various minerals. jap Last of all come the bydrographers j ^on who study the rainfall, tbe capacity ol | ^ j watercourses, tbe current and volume j ^ a | of rivers at all stages, the capacity ol j J(K)] i lakes and ponds?all that pertains to aoo drainage. j is ? An engineer having these facts pro j 0jCI vided for him is able almost at a glance i to select a route for a railway or a ! canal, or to locate tbe best site for a J ^ storage reservoir. It is on this account i and because of tbe excellence of the j ' corps that Congress has intrusted the j Geological Survey with the carrying s out of the new reclamation law, bj _jjj .which arid lands are to be made fer tile through irrigation.

The nerve centers are he reservoir for nerve vitality. These enters become bloodlesj for the want of iroper nutrition. This condition is especially noticeable luring the warm season. Every sumtier an army of invalids are produced as . direct result of weak nervous systems. This could easily be overcome by the ( ise of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the oot of the trouble by correcting the ligestion. Perfect digestion furnishes in* reased nutrition . for the nerve centres. S terfectly digested food gives these neser oirs of life a vitality which creates 6trong, teady nerves, and in this manner fortifies md nourishes life. \CJeo Plflnnkft flr*arr a nrnm inonf milfTCP lociety woman of Stfemplais, Tenn., in a ecent letter from 174 Alabama street, mtes: "To a society woman wnose nerrous force is often taxed to the utmost rom lack of rest and irregular meal*, [ know of nothing which is of so much \eneflt as Peruna.

One reason why Peruna has found per- Tfcfl nanent use in so many homes is that it :ontains no narcotic of any kind. Perun* s perfectly harmless. It can be used any ength of time without acquiring a drug jabit. Peruna does not produce temporary esults. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the svstem, tnd gradually eliminates catarrh Dy renoving the cause of catarrh. There are a nultitude of homes where Peruna has been lsed off and on for twenty years.
