WhUtle ami It Individuality.
The average American engineer and
his fireman would think themselves very
ill us.il if an order were issued for the
alsilisluiH'tit of the cabs that friendly
retreat from inclement weather that is
now consider d an absolute necessity on
all engines. And yet in civilized Eng
land, on a majority of th railroads, the
eutruies in iih are built minus the cab,
thus forcing the oju rators to W4rk with
out blither in all kinds of weather. It
sounds inhuman, ami yet in refutation
tli railroad companii-s ask whether the
soldier should carry an umbrella whe:.
it rains or the sailor Is- allowed to work
Vnder an awning? Th- laini is that the
railroad employees lx-ome inured to w
yere weather and the alisenco of cover
ing k-eps t hem alert, so that the possi-
oiiii or o.inger from inattention to
4luty is redneed to a minimum. Subtle
argument. iM-rhajis. but hardly tenable.
If this practice was adopUil on some of
our western roads where the temperature
ranges from 20 to f degs. below zero,
how many engimrers would live to carry
their trains fmui one station to the next?
The unpardonable sin iu an engineer
is to let the water get out of the boiler
of the engine in his charge. No matter
wnat excuse he may offer, if he lives to
make his report in turn, his dismissal
will be peremptory, for by this action
he has proved himself incompetent and
unworthy of future responsibilities. It
is better for an engineer that he had
never been born when he reaches this
stage of self torture. Fortunately such
cases are rare. The man on all well
conducted railroads must have shown
himself to be trusty and true before he
is given charge of an engine, and the

Every boy in a country town familiar
izes himself at an early age with the
omerent "toots" that by day and night
wail through the unhappy village. He
can detect No. 4's whistle when the train
is five miles distant, and in like manner
the approach of Noe. 1 and 2 are herald
ed to his keen ear. Of course all whis
tles are alike when they leave the shops,

Xhe close observer may lie snugly in
bis bed and yet be able to detect the
passing of either a freight or passenger
tram, ine engine on the former an
nounces its approach by emitting a
sharp, shrill scream that is soul piercing
enough to waken the dead, while the
passenger engine, with due respect tV
the living freight it carries, sounds a
long, deep warning note that does not
bring the occupant of a berth to his feet
"all standing," ready to curse the com
pany m general terms and the engineer
in particular ones for snob, an nyf. rt
roily and inconsiderateness. On tbe
freight train a sharp, shrill scream is es
sential, for it notifies the brakemen, who
are pernaps forty cars in the rear of the
engine and separated from the occupants

This whistle is to them what the cry
or tne can Doy on the Thames steamboat
used to be to the engineer down below
before the advent of electric bells.

jieruaps iouow in rapm succes
sion, and in this decidedly crude fashion
the London steamboat captains did their
steeruig by proxy only a dozen years
ago. One wonders what has become of
those call boys. Perhaps they snend
their hours in spinning yarns to the
younger cockneys of the pjist glories of
steamboating in much the same manner
that our dethroned stage drivers of the
west now resale the tenderfoot with
limpses of bygone acts of heroism and
feats of impossible horsemanship. This
is somewhat of a digression from the
topic under discussion, but iierhans the
reader will excuse its insertion. On
thought naturally suggested the other.
As a class engineers are usually trood
natured, kind hearted, though a bit
rough; deep thinkers, due to their fixed
habits of attention and long hours of
enforcetl silence, and of good morals.
An engineer who drinks cannot hojie to
hold his position long, for no master me
chanic will tolerate confirmed tippling
in a subordinate whose duties are so re
sponsible as those of an engineer. IIo
must be abstinent, prompt at his post of
duty, and ever vigilant if he hopes to
maSitain his position. His hands may
be black and his face grimy, but that
his heart is all right was evidenced not
long ago in a railroad terminus on
the Pacific coast when the engine,
puffing and laboring from its dizzv
ride over mountain passes and alonr
tlangerous precipices, was armroachod
by a golden haired miss of six, who
patted one of the huge driving wheels
caressingly and lisping, "You dear, big
black thinar. how I love von for brinir-
, . w
mg my sweet mamma and papa home to
me from across those horrid mountains,
and you too." she exclaimed, lifting her
pretty face to the black bearded engin
eer, who had been watching her from
his cab. The tear that sprang instantly
to his eye was not an evidence of weak
ness, but of a warm, impassionate heart,
and the father of the little girl that oc
casioned th-3 touch of human nature
furtively reached for his handkerchief

tleeve acrnw his sooty face. Chicago
