Of course there is another side to the picture, but even that is not a dark one. The girl may fall under the dis- pleasure of the master or mistress and will then get punished. She may be locked up for a few hours. or, if her mistress is hot-tempered, have her hair pulled and receive a sounding box on the ear.

I Want any y penetr z every spot of the drawing to the ovter surt A Unique Time Table. General Superintendent Adams, ot the Fitchburg road, has a unique time table that is a little more extensive than those used on other railroads in the country. It consists of a large board, nine feet long by six feet high, suspended on a substantial standard. It is painted black, and is divided lengthwise by narrow yellow lines into twenty-four divisions, representing the hours of the day, while other lines di- vide it horizontally into miles. Four inches are allowed to each hour, and one-half inch to each mile. On one side the names of the fifty-nine sta- tions from Boston to North Adams, inclusive, appear at the proper dis- tances apart. Colored threads are stretched across the board to repre- sent the several trains—red for pas- sénger trains, blue for express freight trains, and white for ordinary freight. Black-headed pins indicate each stop- ping place of the several trains, and smali circular tags at the terminal bear the number of the train. By fol- lowing a thread representing any specified train, its location at any hour is readily seen, as well as the schedule rate of speed per hour. Whenever it is desired to change the running of a train a rearrangement of the pins is easily made, thus showing at a glance whether the proposed change will in- terfere with any other train.—N. Y. Sun. , ee Consumption 1s on the Increase. From recent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase through- out the western states. The principal cause, it is stated, is due to neglect ot common Coughs and Colds.

Of course they were disposed of at a sacrifice and the young bride worried for weeks for fear the trans- action would leak out, but what could she do? She could not litter up her room with duplicates. I think it would be a good idea, when one is sending out invitations for a fashionable wed- ding, to add to each what one is de- sired to present, or else to do away with gifts by ying: “Gifts not de- sired.” I am sure either method would save any amount of annoyance to both giver and receiver.—N.

THe INp1aANA CuEmIcat Co., 1o-1yr Crawtordsville Ind An Anecdote of Greeley. Horace Greeley was always sensitive to error in his proofs, and sometimes broke loose in his wrath An inverted comma stung him like a mosquito. A mistake ina table of election returns set him into such fury as the red flag of the picador kindles in the Catalon- ian bull. ‘Henderson,’ he once said to the compiler of those sterile statistics, who had made an error of two votes in the returns from the Molly-muck-a-chuck district in the Mooseluemaguntic region of North- eastern Maine, “I discharge you; I don’t want to see your face around here any more.” But Henderson was at his post as usual the next morning. ‘‘How is this, Henderson?” said George Rip- ley, ashe came into the office at his customary hour, “I thought ™ Greeley discharged you yesterda: «Yes, he did,” said Henderson, *‘but I didn’t put any confidence in what he said.” One day Mr. Greeley wrote that if a man were to shoot haphazard | out of a window he would be morally | responsible for any harm he might do. |In print the “haphazard” became | “half a yard,” a rhetorical conversion | that sodepressed Mr. Greeley’s spirits | that he had no streagth to discharge anybody, not even Henderson, which was his constant resource in great emotional crises—San Francisco | Argonaut. up on the | iT SJACOBS Ol], FOR WATERMEN.
