Talking Locomotives.
“Six short toots are sent forth by
the locomotive every morning as my
train passes Cynwyd,” said a subur¬
banite. “I asked the engineer yester¬
day what those toots meant, and he
told me they were a conversation he
iwas holding with his wife.
"He said he lived at Cynwyd, in a
cottage near the railroad, and each
morning, as he passed his home, he
told his wife what time he would re¬
turn that night. Usually he returned
a/t 6—hence the six short toots. If it
was 5, there were five toots, and so
on.
"He said there were lots of engi¬
neers and firemen who could talk
•with the Whistle by means of signal
codes of their own devising. He said
there were even some men who, using
the telegraphic code of shorts and
longs, a toot for a tick, could say any¬
thing the pen or tongue could say.”—

Thlugi Happen^
From the home of the famous “Keyh
nel Keeyartah, of Cartersville,” away
down South, eomes an enthusiastic .let¬
ter about Postum.
“I was in very delicate health, suf¬
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that I could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis¬
continue the use of the old kind of cof¬
fee, which was liae poison to me, pro¬
ducing such extreme disturbance that
I could not control myself. But such
iwas my love for it that I could not get
my own consent to give it up for some
time, and continued to suffer till my
father one day brought home a pack¬
age of Postum Food Coffee.
“I had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave It a fair trial. It proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy,
(wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream gTeatly
Improves It.
“My health began to improve as soon
as the drug effect of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time to make its influence felt. My
■ervous troubles were speedily relieved
and the sleep which the old coffee
drove from my pillow always came to
•oothe and strengthen me after I had
drunk Postum—in a very short time I
began to sleep better than I had for
years before. I have now used Fostum
Coffee for several years and like it bet¬
ter and find It more beneficial than
when I first began. It is an unspeak¬
able Joy to be relieved of the old dis¬
tress and sickness.” Name given by

than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of

women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such experi¬

free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con¬
fidence of women, and every testimo¬

the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 413 North 54th

Dear Mrs. Pfnkham:—
“ Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking
advice, as i had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. I received your

“ON8 DOSB CONVINCES.”
At the Atnenaeum Club.
Englishmen almost invariably go
from a dining-room to a smoking
room for coffee and a cigar. They do
not sr ike where others are still din¬
ing, as we do. And, to note another
radical difference between English
and American clubs, they pay their
reckoning as they would at a restau¬
rant, for they have no check system,
with its monthly bills.
At the Athenaeum the cost of the
average meal is less than 50 cents,
the members dining more cheaply as
well as more comfortably here than
at restaurants or hotels.
There was a time when the feeling
of one member that “no gentleman
smoked” was in practice true of the
club in the use of the club-house.
There was at first no smoking-room;
later, partly at Thackeray’s instiga¬
tion, a small apartment was put aside
at the top of the house. There are
now three smoking-rooms In the
house.
In the crypt, or billiard-room, Sir
| Francis Palgrave used to come with
various doubtful verses for his
i Golden Treasury and discuss them at
length wtlh his friends, and here
Abraham Hayward and Anthony
Trollope and others played whist.
On the right of the hallway are the
morning-room, where Browning read
the weeklies of a Saturday afternoon,
and the writing-room, from which
Dickens wrote his last letter to oho
of his sons, who was not to receive It
until after his father was dead.—

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Made Subject of Strong Resolutions
By Railway Conductors.
Whereas, the Congress of the Unit
ed States will have before it at the
coming session the question of addi¬
tional legislation affecting the Amer¬
ican railways, employing 1,300,000 peo¬
ple, therefore be it, by the Order of
Railway Conductors, in biennial con
vention assembled,
Resolved, That we hereby endorse
the attitude of President Roosevelt in
condemning secret rebates and other
illegalities, and commend the attitude
of the heads of the American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the president on
this question, and be it further
Resolved, That we respectfully rep¬
resent to congress the inadvisability
of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power ’over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country,
that this low cost of transportation
is the result of the efficiency of Amer¬
ican railway management and opera¬
tion, which have built up the country
through constant improvement in ser¬
vice and development of territory,
while at the same time recognition has
been given to the value of intelli¬
gence among employes, in contrast to
foreign methods where high freight
rates and lowest wages for employes
obtain; that the freight rates of this
country average only two per cent of
the cost of articles to the consumer,
thus making the freight rate an in¬
significant factor in the selling price,
numerous standard articles being sold
at the same price in all parts of the
country; aud be it further
Resolved, That regulation of rates
by , government body would, in the
opinion ...... of this convention, ,. result ... in
litigation and confusion, and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction of rates
irrespective of the question of the
ability of the railroads to stand the
reduction, especially in view of the in
creased cost of their supplies and ma
terials, and be it further,
Resolved, That the proposed legisla¬
tion Is not in harmony with our idea
of the spirit of American jurisprud
ence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try and con¬
demn and then enforce its decisions,
at the cost of the carriers, pending
appeal, which is manifestly inequita
M ’ d tbat if there is to be legisla

tion this . .
on
a s would secure and insure justice and
equity, and preserve equal rights for
all parties concerned, but in view of
the facts legislation affecting rates is
not called for at this time, and would
be Inadvisable, and be it further,
Resolved, That this convention finds
Itself in accord with President Roose¬
velt, who, In a massage to congress,
has said: “It must not be forgotten
that our railways are the arteries
through which the commercial life
blood of this nation flows. Nothing
could be more foolish than the enact¬
ment of legislation, which would in¬
terfere with the development and op¬
eration of these commercial agen
cies.”
The above resolutions were adopted
by the thirtieth session of the grand
division of the Order of Railway Con¬
ductors of America in convention as¬
sembled at Portland, Oregon, on May
12th, 1905, and it was ordered that a
copy be sent to each member of the
United States senate and of the
house of representatives, as weii as
to the interstate commerce commis
sion.

BELATED MISSIVE OF LOVE.
("ender Message Waited Twenty
Years for Delivery.
Although belated more than twenty
years, a love letter appointing a tryst
lias been discovered and forwarded to
the person addressed, Alonzo Birdsail,
a motorman, who lives in Darby.
Itirdsall was born and raised near
Bay City, Mich., and there he met,
wooed and won his wife, who was i
Miss Parkinson.
Her parents and his people occu
pied adjoining farms, but, owing to
temporary feud, the young people’s
Jove did not run smoothlv. They
courted on the sly, and, to facilitate
meetings, used to leave letters for
each other in the hollow of an old
elm tree. One day death visited the
Birdsail family, and the feud was sud¬
denly terminated. In the excitement
Miss Parkinson totally forgot a let¬
ter she had just left in the tree.
The barriers removed, the lovers
married, and about ten years ago
moved to Philadelphia. Last week
Birdsail received a letter from his
brother, which explained that in chop¬
ping down the old elm he had found
a note, which he enclosed. Although
weatherbeaten and discolored, the
writing was legible. It ran: “John,

Dry Feed for Chicks.
One of the best passible rations for
a chick, whether reared under hen or
in brooder, is what we call dry ration.
It is the nearest approach to the nat¬
ural diet of a fowl possible to attain.
This method calls for all dry food,
such as rolled wheat and oats, small
broken corn, rice or grain of any
kind, small seeds and beef scraps
mixed; to this should be added small
grit of some kind, The beef scrap
should be of good quality, that has
been properly prepared and nicely
ground. This kind of food can be
greatly improved by the addition of
some well-broken peas and beans, and
a little properly prepared clover. Tne
peas, beans and clover furnish the
vegetable and green food, the rest
the grain seed and the animal portion
of their diet, giving them a most per¬
fectly balanced ration. Should it be
preferred to add to this a mixed food,
it should be thoroughly scalded. If
cooked or baked, so much the better,
for this takes away the unnaturalness
of the food, But little trouble from
feeding is experienced when this
method is followed. —N. G. Temple, in
Massachusetts Ploughman.
Gooseberries and Currants.
The Downing gooseberry pays me
well for market, being lardy and pro¬
lific. Taking one season with another,
an acre of gooseberries sells for about
$200. Among currants, the Fay is a
superior variety—large, prolific and a
• good keeper.—John W. Page.
Currants are easily grown, not re¬
quiring especially good cultivation,
and doing well even in the shade of
orchard trees, but good care -and
plenty of fertilizer will pay. My fav¬
orite variety is the Red Cross.—E. E.
Laurence.
Gooseberries are a profitable crop
with me, selling at about $1.50 per
bushel, wholesale. Currants also pay
well, bringing an average of $2.50 per
bushel. Both fruits are subject to at¬
tacks of the currant worm, which
strips the foliage, but we fight them
successfully by using a tablespoonful
of paris green to a quart of slaked
lime sifted on the plants while the
dew is on and repeating the opera¬
tion each week during the early part
of the season. I grow the Houghton
gooseberry and the Red, Dutch, Vic¬
toria and Fay currants. The cherry
currant with me is not productive
enough.—J. B. Johnston, in American
Cultivator.
Fish for Poultry.
In preparing fish for fowls we pre¬
fer to chop them up raw, add a very
little salt and pepper and feed in small
quantities in connection with grain
and vegetables; but for young chicks
it is advisable to boll before feeding
and simply open the fish down the
line of the back bone, leaving to the
chicks the rest of the task. This food
should be given to layers sparingly,
or we may perceive a fishy smell about
the eggs, especially if the fish is fed
raw. All who can will do well to try
this diet for their flocks, and note its
effect on egg production. We have
always marked a decided increase in
the rate of laying following an allow¬
ance of fish fed in moderate quanti
ties.
There are hundreds of our readers
who live near or on rivers or lakes,
or the seashore, where they can get
considerable offal fish, such as are
either too small to market or are cast
out as unfit to be sold. Hundreds of
bushels of these fish are annually used
for manure, either composted or plow¬
ed in direct. In this connection they
are very good, though many a basket
full could be put to better account by
feeding them to your fowls; and they
are very fond of this diet, though care
must be taken not to feed it exclusive¬
ly, for it may cause extreme laxity.—
American Cultivator.
Good Grafting Wax.
Rosin four parts (ounces or pounds)
beeswax two parts, tallow one part.
Melt together slowly in an iron ves¬

care that there is no danger of burn¬
ing. In about 20 minutes or so, when
well mixed, pour out .a portion into a
vessel of cold water. This in a min¬
ute or so will be cool enough to take
up and work with the hands, pulling
it like taffy. The hands must have
been slightly greased with tallow, to
prevent the wax from sticking to

required for use.
Other portions of the melted wax
may be Doured Into the first vessel of
cold water from time to time, and
treated as before until all is used up.
In using this wax in the orchard, if
the day is cold it will need to lie in
warm water (when not in use) in or
der to have it of the proper consis
tency for working well; and in warm
weather it may need to be kept lying
in cold water for the same purpose.
This wax has been used for many
years and it answers the purpose per
fectly; never cracking and falling off
the graft in the coldest weather or
melting and running down the stool;
in summer.—Southern Fruit Grower.
Muskmelort Culture.
Last season we had very good suc¬
cess in growing muskmelons, both for
home use and for market, The
ground, a black loam, was plowed
rather early and put In good condi¬
tion by the use of the drag and har¬
row. In the spring a generous appli¬
cation of barnyard manure was spread
upon the ground and turned under.
As soon as the danger of frost was
over we planted the seeds in hills, in
rows about 3 1-2 feet apart, and the
hills about seven feet in the rows. As
soon as they were through the ground
petre we went water, over to the help plant| drive with the little salt
striped bugs away. I think it acted
as a fertilizer, for the plants made a
very rapid growth afterwards. After
an interval of a few days, a second
application was made. We used 3
large tablespoonful to a bucket of
water.
The plants received frequent culti¬
vation until they commenced vining
and setting melons. The patch was
kept free from weeds and the hills
thinned, leaving only the strongest
plants.
The dry weather during July made
the melons smaller than they would
have been if plenty of moisture had
been available. Half of our patch was
Rocky Fords cantalopes aud the re¬
mainder was several other varieties.
It pays to have rich soil and give
thorough cultivation in growing mel¬
ons.—C. B., in Indiana Farmer.
Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs.
In answer to two inquiries about
the value of rape pasture for pigs, we
reproduce again the following from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station:
Read the experience carefully.
1. That with pigs from four to ten
months old, representing the various
breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when
properly grown, has a feeding value,
when combined with a ration of corn
and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds
of mixture of these grain feeds and a
money value of $19.49 per acre.
2. That rape is a better green feed
for growing pigs than good clover pas¬
ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hav¬
ing made on the average 100 pounds
of gain on 33.5 pounds less grain than
was required by the pigs fed upon
clover pasture.
3. That pigs are more thrifty, have
better appetites and make correspond¬
ingly greater gains when supplied with
rape pasture in conjunction with their
grain feed than when fed on grain
alone.
4. That a plant of Dwarf Essex
forage rape, when planted in drills 30
inches apart, early in May, will yield
three good crops of pasture forage in
a favorable season.
5. That rape is the most satisfac¬
tory and cheapest green feed for swi*e
that we have fed.
6. That every feeder of hogs should
plant each spring a small field of rape
adjoining his yard, and provide him¬
self with a few rods of movable fence,
to properly feed the rape to brood
sows and young pigs.
7. That rape should be sown for
this purpose in drills 30 inches apart
to facilitate the stirring of the ground
and cultivation after each successive
growth has been eaten off.
8. The hogs should not be turned
upon a rape pasture until the plants
are at least twelve to fourteen inches
high, and that they should be pre¬
vented from rooting while in the rape
field.
9. That rape is not a satisfac#>ry
feed when fed alone, when it is de¬
sired to have any live weigh gain
made in hogs, though it has been
found that they will just about main¬
tain themselves without loss of weight
on this feed alone.—Indiana Farmer.
Slaughter of Squirrels in Scotland.
The slaughter of 3988 squirrels by
the Ross-shire Squirrel club during the
past year is part of a war that has
long been waged in various parts of
Scotland. At one time the squirrel
bade fair to become extinct in that
country, but the aforestation of the lat¬
ter part of the 18th century saved it,
and helped it to develop to the pro¬
portion of a plague. The squirrel has
a passion for the young shoots of
trees, and its nibbling is apt to stunt
the tree’s growth, fir buds and bark
suffering particularly. And so hearts
are hardened against the squirrel, in
spite of its pretty ways and name—
which, literally, means “little shady
tail,” being a diminutive of the Latin
“sciurus,” which is simply Greek Lat¬
inized. The Greeks called the squir¬
rel “shady tail” just as they called the
cat “wavytail”—aliorous.—The Globe.
The Simple Life.
In my wanderings on foot when I |
walk through the provinces of Europe •
and talk to the people and fish and
learn I find that what people lack most
in life is simplicity, the poor man as
well as the rich. It consists not in
plain dress, but in plain living, in
simplicity of heart, of personal be
liefs and respect for the beliefs of
others.—Rev. Charles Wagner.

railroad freight rates these ‘
on
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes arc also a considorabio oat
put of the truck farms of Michigan
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago aud
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous yield 0 £
potatoes from the Michigan fields. .\t
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary m ar .
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates ou
potatoes to every reachable market,
even carrying them in large quantifies
to a place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
price on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which it did. By
means of these low rates, making pos¬
sible low prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan aud Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, bad they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered a de¬
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail¬
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proced
ure. If the Michigan railroads and the
Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental limitation
they would have felt obliged to keep
up their rates as do the railroads of
France and England and Germany un¬
der Governmental limitation aud let
the potatoes rot.--Exchange.
STRANGE TRIBES IN BURMAH,
Traditions Accord with the Bible—Ex¬
pected Foreign Teaching.
Letters have been received at Pitts¬
burg from Rev. \V. M. Young, Baptist
missionary at Kentung, Burmah, tell¬
ing of a new tribe of hill people there,
with almost Christian traditions.
They are pure monotheists, and are
embracing Christianity rapidly, as it
is in line with their prophecy or tra¬
dition.
Rev. Mr. Young went to Kentung in
1901. In the district are 16,000 peo
ple called Mulisos. The Kaws are an¬
other hX tribe, numbering 20,000 or
30,000.
The traditions of these people tell
of the creation, the fall of man and
the flood, closely following the bibli¬
cal account. Their teaching against
evil-doing corresponds closely with
the Ten Commandments of the Mosaic
law.
The most remarkable tradition
among these people is that a foreigner
would conje to them to teach the re
ligion of the true God. They readily 1
accept the teachings of Rev. Mr.
Young, and since the first converts
were baptized last October hundreds
have accepted Christianity. t
Until the Christian missionaries
first appeared the men wore cotton t
cords about their waists and necks
The cords about their necks were that t
they would not forsake their belief in
one God. Those about their wrists ex
pressed a longing for the coming °
the foreigner who was to teach them. 1
When they accept Christianity !]
these people invariably ask the mis¬ *
sionary to cut the cords about their
wrists.—New York World. t.
