THESARMER GIRL. Tho farmer girl looked down her hoe, And said: "Oh! well, it may be so. It’s pick and scrape and sigh and gape As more and more from morn to night; Bee! every weed grows up with speed To curse the earth with sheer delight. From year to year for many years I've 'dewed these furrows with my tears; I’ve shed my youth in all its truth In hoping times might change for me; But weeds may blow, and crops may go, No distant, longing change I see. The fields, the dear fields of my birth I’ve eared and loved as mother earth; But am I still just born to till From early Spring to lingering fall? No change for me that I can see— But crowding backward to the wall. They say the farmer is a man That never does the best he can; His daughter, too, a creature who Is only fi>t for hoe and hay; Just give me space for one year's grace,— I’ll give them -something else to say. They tell me, too. sometime it proves— A simple, country girl who loves Her honest toil, and does not soil Her heart or life is princess true And lo! dear me! what’s this I see? Prince Charming brushing of the dew. MRS. YV ILLI AM F. BEE. COEDUCATION AND SUCCESS FUL WOMEN. Those who have favored coeducation must point with pride to what young women are doing In colleges all over the country. It lias been plainly shown that women are capable of receiving as high an education as the sterner sex, and the wonderful success of women in all pro fessions and business of every kind stands for itself to prove this assertion. Day by day we read such notices as the following; “Miss Florence M. Fitch, daughter of Rev. F. S. Flitch, D.D.. pastor of the First Congregational church. Buffalo, N. Y., has just received the doctor’s degree, cum l.uide at Berlin university, the first woman upon whom the university has conferred this honor. Miss Fitch has been studying at the university for three years past." This young woman has since her re turn positions offered her at Mount Hol yoke and at Oberlin college. She has ac cepted a chair at Oberlin, the college at which both her father and self grad uated. The University of Rochester, N. Y., conferred tho honorary degree of M. A. upon Miss Helen Cox Bowerman, A. B. at tho commencement in June. She Is a graduate of Mount Holyoke, and Is the first woman to receive a master's degree from the University of Rochester. On the coeducation question we gather tho following data: "Great fears were entertained by some when Beloit college was opened to wo men. that the standard of scholarship would bo lowered, but the young women have demonstrated that they were fully euqal to tho work required of them. Tins year both first and second honors were awarded to young women.’’ From a special from Boston we have: "in the election from Boston univer sity to I’hl Betta Kappa Intercollegiate honorary society Dean Huntington, of the College of Liberal Arts, announced fifteen girls and one young man, won. There was quite a sensation among tho students when !■; was announced that only one man had gained the coveted honor." "Recently the faculty of laws from which women have been excluded by- Heidelberg university has now been opened to them.” We gather many facts In regard to tho success of women from The Wisconsin Citizen, published monthly by- the Wo man's Suffrage Association. They are always proud to chronicle (the advance ment of their sisters and always advo cating equal rights. GOOD NEEDS FOR THE BIRD LOVERS. At last the bird lovers have the pleas ure of knowing the birds are to be pro tected, and our legislators have passed a. bill to t ;.it effect. it is called the Audubon bill. For the information of all we give it: legislation for the protection of non game birds ami their nests ami eggs was enacted by the Georgia house of representatives recently practically wr hout opposition. It wi s what is known as the Audubon bill, introduced by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, that was up for consideration, and after brief discus sion it was passed by a vote of 89 to 9. This measure prohibits tho killing. trap ping or netting or the destruction of tho ti. -t of any song bird or bird of plumage >1 »: specifically exempted by the provi . ions of the act. Under the terms of the oil! the following are considered os game birds, and my be killed during the open season: Swan, geese, brant, river or sea duck, rails, coots, mudhens, gallinub s. shore birds, plover, surf birds, snipe, woodcock, sandpipers, tatlers, curlews, wild turkey, grouse, prairie chickens pheasants, doves, partridges and quail. The following birds under the Audubon bill are outlawed and may be killed at any time: English sparrows, great horned owl. sharp shinned ha.wk. Cooper’s hawk or big blue darter, crows, larks, crow b’.i kbirds. jackdaw and rice birds. AH other birds are protected by the bill, and it is made a misdemeanor to kill or take them, or take their eggs or nests.

Judges of superior courts are to appoint wardens to carry out Hie provisions of the act and to give its (terms in charge to their grand juries. Is of widespread Interest and the poem we give below proves Jhat his interest is not confined to any one part of the coun try. The little incident comes from far away Nebraska. Mrs. Mary Smith H, Hayward, of Chad ron, Nebr., who has long been prominent among bird defenders, and who has done very much through her occupation as a milliner to discourage the wearing of birds or feathers upon hats, sends a poem to Tlie Citizen, inspired by the following incident: "The Rev. Robert E. Lee Craig, Episco pal minister of Omaha, while out in cen tral Nebraska, holding past Lenten ser. vices and baptising some babies, was ar rested for shooting twenty-one meadow larks. He was fined $110." Be stole a summer song, dear, This godly man of mark, Be made Hie spring day silent, He killed a meadow lark. The plowman in the morn, dear, Will miss the dawn-tipped wings, That soaring upward, taught him To think of nobler tilings. And the children off to school, dear, Across Hie fresh turned sod, Will seek in vain the songster That kept them close to God. And all the summer long, dear, Each day, when it is done. We’ll wonder who tomorrow, Will welcome up the sun. For lie is dead and cold, dear. Our little meadow lark. And he sang a song of love to That godly man of mark. NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN A recent "New York World,” in tho women's exchange has on its list of work ers a new professor for women, tie title is. ns well as tho profession, quite an original idea. Tho name. ".1 cheer!ng-up lady." Her business is "to visit lonely homes, play games with old women or talk and read to them, and In general to brighten their lives. Her services aro sought by people who have money, but yearn for companionship also.” What a happy idea it gives us. for each house to have one "member who would constitute him or herself a cheering-up messenger'’ and cultivate for the especial benefit of the inmates, those graces of manner and thoughtfulness of act which always turn a frown Into a smile.” corner.

Will some of the sisters that have caladium and water hyacinths please write to me? 1 have lots of house plants to give for them. (Note.—The letter with stamps was never received.) Reggie, Box 104, Tallapoosa, Ga.—l saw In this week’s issue of The Constitution where a lady wanted to know how to put away fruit by the sulphur process, so I’ll send my mother’s way of putting away fruit In this way: Prepare your fruit the usual way and put in 3 or 4 gallons in as open a handle basket as you can get. Next get a good tight dry goods box and an old pan or something to burn sulphur in and set this down In the box; then set a fire, now slip your basket of fruit on a stout stick aud swing over the box; swing the basket right over the burning sulphur; get an old quilt and spread over top of box; ever and anon stir your apples so as to get them all smoked even, let smoke until perfect ly bleached. If smoked enough will keep perfectly. Good wishes to all the readers and Aunt Susie. Ten cents enclosed for some good purpose. (Note. —No 10 cents enclosed.) Miss Annie MoLelland, Taylorsville, N.

Will give the Woman's Kingdom a recipe of sure cure for snake or spider bite. Place the bitten member in a pan of kerosene oil, bandage and let remain in oil until the poison Is drawn out; also give patient one or two tablespoonfuls of oil Internally. The poison may be discovered by a greenish looking substance on top of the oil. When thus treated immediately af ter being bitten it prevents all sickness from poison. Y ill tell the ladies of tho Kingdom how to save dried fruit. But the fruit in thin cotton sacks, smoke thoroughly with sulphur and let it remain in the smoked sacks. It will keep two years by repeating the smoking the second year. Best wishes to Mrs. King and the Woman's Kingdom. Mrs. E. J. Morris, Grape Vine, Grant County, Ark.

I would like to get a girl or lady to live as one of the family. If any of the sisters who read this know of any one who wants a good home, please let me know. FOUG..IT DUEL WITH HUSBAND.

Adair, who has been In Cincinnati dis posing of some lumber, returned here rather unexpectedly and found his wife away from home. Ho went in search for her, and finding her in the home of a neighbor, became jealous and pulling a revolver from his pocket fired three shots at her, all of which went wild. Mrs. Adair ran into her house, seized her husband’s winchester and returned to Hie yard Just as lie was entering the gate. He attempted to escape by running toward th ' woods nearby, but a bullet from the winchester, in the hands of the Infuriated woman, laid him low. He fell to the ground, mortally wounded, and died without uttering a word. Blew Out the Gas and Died. Atlantic City, N.

MORE PROTECTION IS ([CM, Rural Police Necessary To Maintain. Law —One Sheriff and a Bailiff Inadequate Women in Country Are Unpro tected. Athens, Ga., August 5. -(Special.)—The annual meeting of the State Agricultural Society was called to order this morning at 10 o'clock. About one hundred dele gates were in attendance. President Dudley Hughes addressed the convention. In beginning he referred to the fact that it was fortunate tho convention as sembled during the session of the sum mer school when the suo teachers from all sections of the state might be brought In contact with Hie spirit of the meeting. He paid a feeling tribute to J. M. Mob- Icy ami C. S. Round.tree, who had passed away since Hie last session of the so ciety. He quotid The Manufacturers' Record as authority for the statement that the south from 1880 to 1890 had an increase of farm products of nearly 100 per cent and declared that Hie south should make an effort to retain a mo nopoly of the cotton crop, of which Geor gia was one of the largest producers, while continuing on a broader scale in tensified and diversified farming. He said: As to Plant Breeding. "Plant breeding is certainly a new de parture, and an invasion which, if ma terialized by tho crossing of the sea Island and long staple cotton, will estab lish a cotton equal to the Egyptian, for which our mills spend millions of dollars importing, They are accomplishing much to overcome enemies to cotton, which are becoming destructive in an alarming degree, "The Texas boll weevil is most threat ening in its destruction of the greatest state of the union. The department as yet lias not this pest under control, bu ll is confidently expected it will be over come. 'There is mu h alarm even in Georgia that it may at any time appear in our fields. Thu wilt disease is being overcome by the development of a va riety of cotton resistant discovered by the scientific reseat eh of the depart ment.” He was of the opinion that Georgia, owing to her soil capacity and man hood, should take the leadership in Hie Increased manufacture of cotton, for she is a region of unlimited resources and equal to any on the elobe. He referred to the Impetus being given to agricultural education and the attention It is receiv ing from scientists and statesmen. The appropriation by the government for tlie year ending June 30 last going to tlie maintenance of bureaus of plant Indus try, soils, chemistry, forestry and va rious governmental experiment stations amounted to $4.503.960. exclusive of $720,000 for experiment stations In the different states. He spoke f the establishment at Columbus, Ohio, of a graduate school of agriculture with thirty-live instructors, and regretted that Georgia had not kept pace with the advanced steps of other states. He expressed gratification, how ever, at the improvement manifested by the establishment of the various farmers' institutes, throughout the state, and de clared there should be one in every farm ing county of the state. He expressed pleasure In the good work of the state experiment station and the advancement of the College • 4 "’■< ml to r»» t and Me chanical Arts. i ; t ..;ide.nt Hughes con tinued: "You will pardon me here for saying that 1 wish every young man in tho state who expects to adopt agriculture as his profession was so situated that he could obtain a classic education and then take a year or two years If neces sary in agriculture, ns do those who ac quit themselves for law and medicine, etc. 'Thorough classic education Is no bar rier to agricultural success; it only tits us to become prominent in our pursuit, with an Intellect trained and expanded to grasp, digest and surmount Hie various questions of the day, so pertinent to agri cultural success.” He predicted that soon the agricultural Interests of the state would be in the hands of the whites, ami urged a better and wider educational equipment for tho bovs of the state, stating that such agri cultural training would counteract the • •xodiis from the country. lie urged the formation In each county of an active agricultural club with the motto. "Edu cate and equip oar boys In the learned profession of agriculture.” In conclusion lie urged tlie cooperation of all toward, making the stale fair, to be held this fail in Maron, a success. Judge Speer Speaks. Mr. Whitehead, of Jackson county, of fered a motion that Judge Emory Speer, who was present as a visitor, be request ed to address the convention. The mo tion was announced unanimously carried by tho president. The judge arose and humorously said that Mr. Whitehead must expect l)im to havg the same fatal facility of speech that lie had some twen tv-live years years ago, when lie was the counsel for that gentleman in the courts of Jackson county, ami who was some times on the wrong side of the versus. He regretted his inability to address the convetijioi; on any agricultural topic. One remark made bj the president in ins valuable address suggested a thought lie believed to be. most important lo Hie people, "i'll.tt was the fact that so main' voting farmers of line character and ability were leaving their farms and re pairing to the citi.es. Wa.\ not tins ascribable to Hie fear of such men for tlie safety of their wives and tlie women of their families? Was it not true that the most anxious thought of a southern man should be to the iiiunovements In Hie administration of law, which would result In the protection of ‘ ur loved ones? Con sidering the vital Interests gt stake,, were we not Jho most careless people an)- w-liere.’jn the arrest and legal trial of of fenders, mid did not this produce tho frequent reappearance of That many headed monster, the mob? "What provision did we have in Georgia for Hie detection and arrest of criminals? One sheriff for a county, and an occa sional bailiff, was wholly Inadequate. A crime of a revolting character would oc cur. Having no arresting officers to rely upon, the people would rise in their might and run down the criminal, and the lynching would result He believed that legislation should provide far a rural po lice, men not unlike the Texas Rangers, whose duty It would be to at once take the trail of the criminal and purgue film until he was arrested and brought to trial conformably to law. 'The Judges them selves were paid the most ridiculous and inadequate salaries. The result was most prejudicial to tlie proper enforcement of the law. It was a sign of hopefulness that tfie senate had passed a bill In creasing the salary of Judges of the su perior court to $3,090. and of the supreme court to $5,000. This would secure men of great force of character and high ability to preside in those most import ant tribunals. There should be a longer term of service accorded to judges. They should be made independent of those considerations which prey upon the mind as a result of frequently recurring elec tions. Every farmer in Georgia wlm feels that bis family needs the protection of the law slaiuld support these measures. All felt that necessity. There were, doubtless, many men present who had made provisions for the protection of their families while they attended this convention. The terrible danger to un protected women living in the country was violently affecting, not only their own lives, making them nervous and wretch ed, but. wa s most seriously affecting the of the rising generation, in creasing the Intensity of race hatreds among the youth of both races, with the most Alarming portents for the future. Nor were these crimes chargeable to the great body of the negro. They were us ually committed by t£amp negroes, who lived lives of tho most loathsome :ind degraded character, almost Invariably men of one type, the descendants of the vilest pt tjjQ African tribes. In many respectu we were jn a more unfortunate condition than were our forefathers, when on the frontiers of civilization they were confronting tho ferocious savages. They could tgll that tho Indian was an enemy, but among multitudes of law-respeeting and kindly negroes, the beastly and des perate savago cpulj not be identified In advance. Delays tn the administration of justice In the trial of such eases were Hie cer tain precursors of mob law, and yet our system of judicial trials seems to bo carefully designed to occasion delay and new- trials. The dumb act which makes It error for a judge to intimate what haj or has not been proven was the most fruitful cause for new trials, mistrials and the delay of final sentence. Only a day or two ago a learned judge in Sa vannah had felt obliged to order a mis trial in an important criminal case be cause he had, as he thought, incautious ly said in the presence of the jury that a. receipt for money paid was high evi dence of payment, and, said Judge Speer, "if X should draw a pistol from my pocket now and shoot the president of this so ciety where he sits and the judge of your superior court should say on the trial 'Hie shot was fired in the chapel, in this county,’ It would be under the law re versable error, which would cause a new trial. The judges of tho superior courts should be given the power to sum up the evidence to aid, but not to con trol the jury, as was the practice at common law, and is now the practice in the courts of the United States, if this were done it Is probable that nine-tenths of the new trials in criminal cases would be avoided. Surely no subject is more vital to our civilization, and if the wives and daughters of our farming population can receive the protection of a rigorous and effective enforcement of law, the waste places of our fertile and prolific soil will soon be populated, the resources ■of the state immeasurably Increased, and happiness and contentment come to thousands of homes which are now the scenes of constant apprehension and ter ror." At' the conclusion of Judge Speer's speech there was vigorous applause, and then Mrs. \V. H. Felton arose and said that while she agreed with the distin guished jurist In what he had said, there was one question that she desired to ask him. She asked if there could be any way devised whereby In the trials of such cases the unfortunate victim of tho violence of the ravlsher could be spared the double humiliation of appearing in court and going through the ordeal of testifying. She declared that this forc ing of the woman to testify was one thing that had a great deal to do with lynchings, and that white she was an advocate of law and order, still this ques tion was one that cried out for solution and that must be solved. Judge Speer, in reply, said that tlie re marks of Mrs. Felton emphasized the urgency of action along the lines he had suggested, and that It called for the best intelligence of Georgia to solve it cor rectly. As a more off-hand opinion ho thought It could be arranged so that the court room could be cleared of all per sons except those absolutely necessary co the trial. Speech of Hon. Harvey Jordan. The last speech of the morning session was delivered by Hon. Harvie Jordan, of Monticello, who spoke upon the sub ject of “Agricultural Education.” Mr. Jordan was especially forceful In his re marks, and among other things urged the teaching of agriculture In the proper manner In all the schools of the state. In speaking of the work of establishing farmers’ institutes in Georgia, which work was recently inaugurated by tho University of Georgia, said that there had already been established fifteen insti tutes, that the meetings were attended by over 4,000 farmers, that over seventy five lectures had been delivered at these meetings on various topics and that great interest was being manifested In the movement. Other Addresses. Dr W A. Henry, of Wisconsin, deliv ered a strong address on the methods of the northern farmers and gave the dele gates a number of things to think about in their work on the farm. Mrs. W. JI. Felton was accorded an ovation when she delivered her address on "The Georgia Woman on the Farm." The main idea of her address was an appeal for the better protection of wom en on the farm and for Hie enactment of laws Unit would secure her right to a share in the crops that she helps her hus band to make. Tonight at the chape! Major J. F. Han son, of Macon, spoke of "The Industrial Development of Georgia." It was a strong speech and was vigorously ap plauded. The society will hold two interesting sessions tomorrow before adjournment. Dairymen Adjourn. The State Dairymen's Association ad journed here this morning. Tlie next ses sion will be held in Tallulah Falls next summer. The following officers were elected for the next year: Bresident. \V. Ia Wil liamson. of Harmony Grove; vice presi dent, Dr. J. B.

Magtd, of Tallulah Falls, gave the society a most Instructive and In teresting talk on "Silk Culture In Geor gia.” Mr. Magld, who has recently mov ed to Georgia to develop the silk indus try in this state, told the delegates how years aj.r> the silk industry was thriving In Georgia, lhaving been introduced here by General Oglethorpe. He contended that this state can successfully compete wltb other countries in the silk industry and urged the farmers to make a study of the question. Dr. John P. Campbell professor of biology In tho University of Georgia, made an admirable address upon "Bac teriology as Applied to Agriculture." Probably the most Interesting address of the morning was that of Hon. J. I’ope Brown, who spoke of "Greater Georgia.” In part Mr. Brown said: As to the Negro Problem. Referring to the negro problem, Mr. Brown said: "I do not claim to know tho prop, r solution of the problem, but In jystice to Hie negro, desiring to promote fijendly relations between the races rather than stir up strife, I will make a few observa itions .or suggestions from the standpoint of a southerner, a Georgian, born on a DON'T BE HAIRY ww ♦ Removes superfluous hair wu «» Instantly and painlessly from any part of the body.

No additional proof Is needed of the harmonious relations that exist between us. They have been free to go; they have not been held In bondage; not one has ever been put in th« chaingang. We have a little row occasionally, but we do not go to law. Every year I pay some unfortunate fellow’s fine. I take no con tracts, as a rule, and have never work ed a negro with shackles on him. He gets the same pay and the same treat ment us tho others, and, be it said to his credit, 1 have never had one to leave me before ho worked out his fine and never lost a cent on one I took out of jail. His Js the most patlenjkjiace of peo ple in tho world, and. as a rule, very accommodating. He Lakes a lively in terest In tho business of his employer, and usually refers to it as 'ours.' The vicious arq the exception, and not tho rule. Northern Intermeddlers, who love not the negro, but who haite the south, and sorry wjilte people at home, are the cause of most of the trouble wo have with him. The young negro Is a bettor farmer than the old nygro. and is doing better farming today than the whites did twenty years ago. For that reason, I have plead ed for better agricultural education for our young farmers, seeing that only by superior Intelligence can tho young white iboy compete with the negro on the farm. I am In favor of giving justice to the negro, believing in the natural supremacy of the white race. I am not in favor of raising the white man up. In dealing with the question let us remem ber the motto of the state, “Wisdom, Jus tice and Moderation.' ” At the conclusion of Mr. Brown's re marks Colonel R. J. Redding made an admirable address to the farmers pres ent. Afternoon Session. At the afternoon session of the society the first address was delivered by Colonel John A. Cobb, of AnWrlcus. who spoke on the labor problem. A. W. Edson, of the department of agriculture at Wash ington, delivered a most Interesting ad dress upon Improved and more valuable cotton for the south. Following this ad dress there were reports from the dif ferent vice presidents of the society concerning the work of organizing farm ers’ clubs in their various counties. This feature was quite Interesting, and all the delegates who spoke on this subject wero of the opinion that the organization of an active farmers’ club in each coun ty In the state would do more to Increase the attendance upon and the interest in the sessions of the society (Man any thing else. Tbey said that they would go back home determined to bring about Hie organization of many of these clubs. Secretary Calvin said that he never attended a meeting of the State Agricul tural Society where there was evident more genuine enthusiasm than at the meeting this year; that the papers wore tho best he had ever hoard .and that tho audiences wore the best he had ever noted during his long connection with the so ciety.

Philadelphia Record: Rnilroad men have a sign language as perfect ns tho sign langiipgo "f deaf mutes. They have no trouble, with this language. In com municating with one another a quarter or even a half mile away. During tho day they make their signs with their hands and arms. At night they use lighted lanterns. i'l-.e signa! 4 ' that the Pennsylvania rail road uses are the one? most prevalent in America These signals are simple and large—two great advantage s—for being sfmpl.e they are easily understood and remembered; and, being large—re quiring big sweeping gestures—they can be read a long way off. There follows a list of the Pennsylvania signals. The.se It is well tor the public to know; for emergencies often arise where it Is necessary to caution or to stop a, train, and why not, in such an emergency, do the cautioning or the stop ping in the proper manner? Tho basic, tlie principal, signals are: (1). Stop. (2). Back. (3). Go ahead. in the day time “Stop!” is signaled by moving the hand up and down, the palm Inward, before the boil..- a vertical cutting of the air with the edge of the hand, the movement extending J'rom the chin to the waist. "Back" is signaled by a big, low. beck oning gesture of the arm a circular ges ture made shoulder high. lit Is pre sumed lure that tho signalman is be hind the train, and wishes it to ap proach him. If he Is In front of tlie Hain and wishes it to back away from him, he makes the opposite or "Go ahead" gesture. "Go ahead.” To make tills signal the hands are held at the breast, and thence each arm describes a Hugh, vertical semi circle in the air t This stml-clrcle means ••Everything is all right. Go ahead for good ’’ "Go ahead just a little.’ or as the rail roader says, "Ease off." The arms are extended straight from the shoulders, land while they remain motionless, the hands are jigged geintly up snd down ire tn the wrists. At night the signals must, of course, be made with lighted lanterns. The lan tern signals are: 'Stop.” The lamp is swung diagonally across the track In a seml-circle. "Back.” The lamp is swung clean (around the head In a tremendous vertical circle. "Go ahead.” The lamp is moved up and down in a straight lino very quickly before it ho body. "Go ahead just a little” or "ease off.” The lamp is moved up and down in a straight line before the body slowly and the length of the line it traverses Is very Short. A rare signal la the one that announces that the train has parted, leaving a car or tow behind. This Is made by first giv ing an up and down and then a circular movement; up and down, then a circle; up and down, then a circle. The speed of these eignals denotes their urgency. Slow and gentle, tho engineer obeys them slowly and gently. Fierce and emphatic, then swift as lightning, the engineer obeys thorn Just as fast as he possibly can An old western railroader talked yes terday about the signals tiicvt wore us I on tlie AL, K. and F. road twenty years ago. "They were not altogether like tlie T’ennsy's,” he said. "Some of them, in fact, were radically different. Whether ithey still maintain on the Al.. K. and P., of course. I don't know. "The night signals with the l imern o i the AX., K. and P were: ’Stop.' wing he lantern across the track; ’ba-tk.’ move the lantern in a straight lino up and down; 'go ahead.’ circle the lantern around your in-ad at arm s length verti cally. "The M., K. and I’, day signals were pnatty much the same as wo have here in the east, only 'stop’ was made by moving the hands In vertical seml-elrcles from the ears down to the hips and back again. "These as I say,’ the old man ended, ‘were tho signals out west twenty years ago. Alaybe, by this time, the Pennsyl vania's signnJs are used out there. X don’t know anything about that.’ Besides the. l»aud and lantern signals, there are those of flags, the whistles and the torpedoes. The flag signals are: A red flag—" Danger. Stop at on e.” A green flag—" Caution. Go very slowly.” A white flag—" All. right now. Go right ahead." In conjunction with the flags torpedoes are often used. The explosion of one tor pedo means that the train must stop; two means that It is to reduce its spe.eii, advancing cautiously. A luse burning on the track is a warning that the train is to halt and not go on until the fuse is quite burnt out. The whistle signals are worth knowing. He who understands them need no long l . - rail at the engineer and hold his ears when the locomotive shrieks and lewis unmercifully; for now each shriek, eacli howl, has its meaning for him. Here, then, are the whistles: One long blast—"We are approaching a station, a crossing or a junction." One short blast—" Put on the brakes. We tire going to stop here." Two long blasts—" Throw off the brakes.” Two short blasts-“ All right. Your sig nals are understood.' Three long blast—" The train has part ed.” Three short blasts -“Look out. Tlie train Is going to back.” I Four long blasts—" Hurry aboai'd, fl ;.-- \ mon!” I<’onr short blasts—" Show your signa' l / you lubbers, so that we may know v i/it to do.” Five short blasts—" Let the flagmen go back and protect tho rear of the train.” How Our Bible Takes.
