"I could tell you more, but I’m booked for the next train out, and must go home and pack my grip. Good morning.” “Just to show you how we get to know the different signals, the other evening as I was sitting at home with my wife, she said: ‘What’s that queer whistle?‘ It was three whistles, fol- lowed by a long, low one,vnot straight, but with what I call curves in it. That’s plain enough, I said. The yard engine has just completed making up the train for the tunnel. and is whistl- ing for the driver, who is somewhere near the bridge, to hurry up and take charge of the train. There‘s a whistle not down in the company‘s rules, but it means a. lot," remarked the rail- roader, with a laugh. “Its tooâ€"tooâ€"too -tooâ€"â€"tooâ€"too, six or eight times. When thi is goes through the yard either at night or day, a driver's wife knows that the train has come home again and that her man will be over for his meal as soon as he can leave his engine. ‘ “Then there is the crossing \vhiétlc." remarked the speaker. “and it‘s gallâ€" Ing, too. Say two trains are on the road between Belleville and York, and one wants to pass. the other by. If the chap ahead is good-natured, he may allow it, but oftener it's a case of who can do the most jockeying. If the hind train wins then you couldn‘t mistake the whistle. It‘s a. regular mocking crow. and means as much as the ‘rah. rah.’ when a. goal is kicked at a football match. “In running through the country in summer a driver looking out from his caboose is very apt to see cows stand- ' g on the track ahead. N v, the train hands aren’t eager for hostilities with them and so we usually get them nut of \the road with four short. sharp whistles. That’s for cattle, but when it‘s section hands on the track. the whistle is more like a long-drawn-out wall or cry than anything else.

A reporter, says the Toronto W'orld, stood beside an experienced railroader last week on the G.’I‘.R. bridge at.

Just then an en- gine, standing to the west of the sta- tion. with a. string of cars attached, let out a series of short, sharp toots. “Do you know what thosa mcan?” queried the railroader. “It’s the call for the weigh scales.

Bees must, in order to collect a pound of clover honey. deprive 62,000 clover blossoms of their nectar. To do this the 62,000 flowers must be visited by an aggregate of 3,750,000 bees. Or in other words to collect its pound of honey one bee must make 3.754.000 trips from and to the hive. The ex:- ormous amount of work here involveu precludes the idea of anyone that onv bee ever lived long enough to gather more than a fraction of a pound of nectarine sweets. As bees are known to fly for miles in quest of suitable fields of operation. it is clear that a single ounce of honey represents mil- lion-s of miles of travel. It is no won~ der that these industrious little insects have earned the reputation of being “busy" bees. ‘ Capacity of 1: Corn Crib. It is a safe rule in estimating the size of a crib to allow two cubic feet to each bushel of corn. By a. cubic bush- el is meant 70 pounds of ear corn, which is equivalent to 56 pounds of shelled corn. The rule is to allow 14 pounds for cob in the fall and 12 ‘pcunds in'the spring after the corn has been dried out perfectly Two cribs Lit! feet long, six feet Wide and ten‘ feet high will by this rule hold 1800 bushels. Ten feet is too high. to throw corn eas- ily with a scoop shovel, but there can be two openings for each crib, extend- ing down to within four or five feet of the floor, and when the crib is full lo the. bottom of these. short boards can he placed across them as the crib is filled, and most of the filling can be done with ease. “Then the cribs must be filled to the top, a boy or man can throw corn back to- the ends and fill it. so as to utilize all the space.-â€"Rural World. was there that the first Romanaff was elevated to the seat of power.

Shortly she breaks down again and takes another cup of tea. This proceeds a few hours for days. Ultimately she gets into the doctor‘s hands.
