RAILROAD SIGNALS.
ilar and BlralBcsnee "-
. by tbs Staadard uoue.
The neatest civilizing agent in the
world, after tho art of printing, is the
locomotive, and that term includes
the railroad and all its appurtenance,
Without railroads, three-quarters of
the United States would now bo a
wilderness, and the same is true of
great portions of other continents.
Everybody travels on the railroad,
and a railroad train is a familiar sight
that never grows old.
But how many of the millions who
travel know what tho railroad signals
Bean? The majority do not bother
their heads, about the matter, and a
large minority vaguely wonder why
there should bo so much tooting and
swinging of lanterns, all of which is
no doubt essential, but at the same
time very confusing to the uninitiated
passenger.
Perhaps this article may servo to
clear up tho mystery, as tho data is
taken from the btanuaru Loue," a
text book for railway men.
Bed signifies "danger."
Green signifies "caution go slow-
IJ."
White signifies ".-afely."
Green and whito signifies "stop at
la? stations lor passengers or
freight"
One, cap or torpedo on rail means
'stop immediately."
Two caps or torpedoes on rail moans
''reduce speed immediately and look
out for danger signal."
A train while running must display
two green flags by day and two green
;!ighta by night, one on1 each side of
the rear of the train.
After sunset, or when obscured by
fog or other cause, must display
headlight in front and two red lights
in rear.
Two green flags by day and two
green lights by night, displayed in tho
places provided for that purpose on
the front of an engine, denote that the
train is followed by another train run
ning on tho .same schedule and en
titled to the same timc-tablo rights as
the train carrying the signals.
Two whito flags by day and two
white lights by night, carried in tho
same manner, denote that the train is
an extra.
A blue flag by day and a bluo light
by night, placed on the end of a car,
denotes that car inspectors are at work
under or about tho car or train, and
must not be coupled to or removed
until the blue signal is removed.
Lamp signals aro made as follows:
A lamp swung across the track is
the signal to stop.
A lamp raised and lowered, vertical
ly is tho signal to move ahead.
A lamp swung vertically in a circle
across the track, when the train is
standing, is the signal to move back.
A lamp swung vertically in a circle
at arm's length across tho track, when
tho train is running, is the signal that
tho train has parted.
A flag or tho hand moved in any of
the directions given above will indicate
the samo signal as given by the lamp.
The locomotive whistlo signals aro
composed of short, quick sounds and
long sounds. In the following table, O
means short, quick sound; means
long sound.

BUSINESS RULES.
Seme gonad Advice Furnished by a St
Lout Hank Teller.
Do you know that some people can
not be taught tho simplest, yet most
important, rulei fur doing business
with a bank? The strictest rules and
laws the world over appertain to money
matters and land transfers, and in
these the slightest dot of black on the
white paper is taken into account.
Some people, 1 say, can not understand
this, though reminded of it day after
day. To help this class along and
keep them constantly reminded of tho
banking rules necessary to keep a cor
rect account, a book, small enough to
carry in one's pocket, has been printed,
and is being liberally distributed. I
will cite three of tho rules most fre
quently violated. Tho first relates to
the signature. If your name is James
L Penman, and you sign that in tho
signature-book, never sign a chock
otherwise. Kvory young man should
adopt his signature for life and decide
whether ho will sign his first name in
full or abbreviated. It is always best
to write tho first name in full, then
the middle or other initials and then
tho name. If this rule is adopted nev
er doviate from it. Tito second rule
very frequently violated is in tho in
dorsing of a check. Should your name
be misspelled on n check see what tho
error is and indorse it exactly to a
letter. Then sign tho correct signa
ture under it Tho third violation is
eglect to count money before going
to the bank. It is much bettor not to
deposit that day if you must run to
the bank with a pocketful of loose
money and then arrange it on tho
counter in a reckless- manner. How
often do you read of men being robbed
in ft- bank by a shrewd thief calling
their attention away from the money
ia front of them, while a confederate
reaches over and takes the pile. A
strict adherence to simple rules will
save many dollars and a good deal of
time. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

PHOSPHORIC ACID.
Its Value as a Fertilizer as Establish
by Kccrat Kxperlmrats.
In one regard the various experi
ment stations of the country aro doing
valuable service to farmers, and that
is in the lino of thinking, studying and
experimenting for themselves. Prof.
Johnson, of tho Connecticut State Ex
periment Station, stated at tho recent
farmers1 convention that it was gratify
ing to mark the progress that had
been made among farmers in the last
twenty-five years. That whereas at
one time talk upon fertilizers and feed
ing rations was as Greek almost to the
average farmer, he can to-day talk in
telligently upon these subjects, and
discuss them with credit to himself.
It Is fur better that this is so, be
cause the farmer has actual practice
to deal with, and it is frequently the
case that scientific theory requires
some modification in order to corre
spond with practice; and the intel
ligent farmer who understands scien
titic declarations, and can judge of the
causes and results which he obtains,
can not only adopt any particular
mode of procedure to the necessities
of the case, but can also point out the
probable point in which science is in
correctly interpreted.
ror some timo thero have been
tables in existence arranged by the
German scientists in tho course ot
their experimentation, giving the
amount of manurial substances taken
from tho soil by average crops of vari
ous kinds. IJy these it appears that
phosphoric acid is quite largely re
quired in the production of grain;
that is, tho tables show a considerably
larger proportion of phosphoric acid
in tho grain of crops than in the
straw, with tho exception of corn,
where tho percentage of phosphoric
acid in the grain is given as five and
nine-tenths, and of corn-stalks as five
and three-tenths, and in buckwheat,
where the grain has five and seven
tenths and the straw six and one
tenths; tho other grains rango from
over five to nearly twelve, "with a
rango of two to three and five-tenths
in the straws. Whether this propor
tion is true regarding buckwheat. It
is yet difficult to determine, but there
is an experiment with regard to corn
that seems to denote a limit to tho
value of phosphoric acid for tho pro
duction of grain.
In a held that had not been cropped
for somo time, with tho exception of
the previous year to buckwheat, tho
soil was supplied with an amount of
nitrogen and potash estimated to bo
sufficient for tho production of an
avcrago crop of corn, the nitrogen in
tho form of sulphate of ammonia, and
potash as high grade muriate, being
spread broadcast after the ground was
plowed, and well harrowed in. Upon
one section of one-sixteenth of an acre
dissolved bono black was employed at
the rato of two hundred and fifty-six
pounds per acre, another with noth
ing, another with double tho quantity
of bono black, and still another with
nothing. Tho nothing plots were near
ly identical in their yield, giving only
a small quantity of grain, as well as
small stalks, but there wcro somo pe
culiar features with tho other two
plotjt. Tho ono with the lessor quan
tity of the bone black, which contained
tho clement phosphorie acid, gave a
good development of stalks, whilo they
produced well-developed and weii
curcd cars of corn, many stalks
furnishing two cars perfectly capped
over. In the c:iso of tho larger quan
tity of phosphoric acid there was a
considerably increased growth of
stalks, being in tho proportion of
52C7.2 for an aero to 3745.6 of the
former quantity, while tho yiold of
cars of corn was actually less; tho
ears wcro somowhat larger, but
scarcely a stalk had two cars, and tho
proportion was :1787.2 to 3902.4 of
tha former. This would seem to in
dicatc that so far as tho chomical use
of phosphoric acid is concerned thero
is a limit in grain production, and
that beyond that point it only serves
to give an increase of fodder, tho econ
omy of which Is questionable. W. H.
Yeomans, in X. Y. Observer.
Webster as a Financier.
Daniel Webster once found a good
way of getting rid of a borrower tho
best ono, indeed, on record, for, like
tho man who bought tho cloth for
shirts, he killed two birds with ono
stone.
"Webster." said Rufus Choate one
day. "I want to borrow $500 and I
wish you'd lend it to me."
"I haven't tho money to-day, Mr.
Choate," said Wobster, "but you give
me your note and I can get it cashed
for you."
Gratified beyond measure Choate sat
down to write his note.
"By tho way. Choate," said Webster,
in an off-hand way, "you might as
well make that note for 1,000, and 1
can use $500 myself."
.Certainly," said Choate, cheer
fully, and ho signed a note for an even
$1,000.
Then the immortal Daniel sauntered
down to a banker's office.
"Ah! any thing I can do for you to
day, Mr. Webster?"
"Can you discount a note of $1,000
forme?"
"With pleasure."
The great statesman pocketed 91,000
in bills, gave foOO to Choate, who was
effusive in his thanks, and kept the
other $500 himself.

would be called-in these days "a finan

AN EDITOR'S TRIALS.
Some of the Mndett Offer Made by Wrll
Meaninj; Authors.
A young ludy recently wroto to a
eading magazine to make tho follow
ing very liberal proposition:
Dcak Sir: If you wish. I will write a Norel
similar In sizo as "the quick and the Dead."
to rival Miss Hires, for your magazine, the
title to be "Lore or Passion?' with tho under
standing that it shall bo published under the
nom de plume of "Yam." If you wish I will
send my Picture for the frontispiece, also to bo
called "Yam." Also according to tho terms
under which Miss Hives had hef Norel pub
Uihcd. If my offer Is accepted let me know immedi
ately. Sincerely yours, etc.
I don't know how many people there
aro in tho country who have dramas
lying already written in their bureaus,
but tho publication of "Herod and
Mariamno" brought down upon us
an avalanche of tragedies, rhymed
and unrhymed. In many cases the
authors were kind enough to inform
us that their productions were far
superior to Miss Rives'. This, indeed,
is a common habit with amateur
magazinists to inform tho editor of
tho comparative merits of their con
tributions. " It may not bo very good," they
say (the sly dogs, they know only too
well how highly they valuo it), "but,
at all events, it is equal, if not supe
rior, to somo of the milk-and-water
stuff that you publish in your maga
zine." Or, " whatovcr tho merits of
this article, I am sure it is not vanity
to say that it is better than tho dreary
platitudes of Howclls and James."
Or. "you must not expect a David
Copperficld' or a 'Vanity Fair;' yet, in
spite of tho many imperfections of
this story, you will pardon my ego
tism if I flatter myself that I can ca
ter to the reading public of our gen
eration." The great majority of contributors
accept defeat gracefully enough thai
is. in silence. But some of them will
not die without making a sign. Tho
letter of declination is occasionally
returned to tho editorial office with
tho words " Chestnuts" or ' Rats"
scrawled across it, and occasionally
the editor gets a vigorous bit of scold
ing. A lady informed him that It was
not necessary that ho should aseuro
her that the rejection of a MS. did not
imply a want of literary merit. An
other drew herself up indignantly and
repudiated any implied compliment
in the stereotyped phrase by saying
that she knew very well her manu
script did not lack literary merit, and
that she didn't have to-be reminded of
it. Sometimes, but very seldom, the
protests from the rejected take the
form of personal abuse. In letters of
this sort the editor has seen himself
described as cur." "mole-eyed." "in
different to the higher reaches of tfcw
iiMlligect." "dull." and -igaeraaV
