 mm mfi'm mmmmm. r r it .^; ^i fiv thjii ' -A i The Telegi^MG Signal. John Mills, the hero of this sketch, was «n engineer on a weU known Canadian rail- way and had ben for a long time in tiie company's emiilDy. When the nei^ engine ' 59 ' was con^|^«ed aoAj^used on tlM^,»pad, John was givaiBicharge orit, and he eviooed; a natural pride in his preferment. At epie of the statioin l^ere was a yonng gii^ a telegraph operait^i betveeb whom aad the engmeer there had sprung up a warm at- tachment, and whenever "59" came along, Kate generally managed to be at the door and exchange signals with her lover. Ooe day the train was detained at the station, and the locomoti\e detached and sent up the road, to do some additional work, and Kate went along for a ride. As she listened to the sharp, shrill notes of the whistle, it 'Occurred to h«: that she might teach John to sound her name in the Morse telegraphic characters, so that she could distinguidh his signal from that of the ether engines, when- ever his train approached. The plan work- ed to a charm, and far and near me whistle shrieked Kate, until one day, as the opera- tor stepped upon the platform, she overheard a conversation between two young men, and learned that they understood the signal and were laughingly wondering who Kale could be. Their means of communication having been discovered, they were obliged to dis- continue it. In the meantime Kate had, by means of the telegraph, made the ac- quaintance of a young lady, in a distant city, but whom she had never seen, and to her she made known the fact that the secret had been discovered. Then her friend sug- gested a plan as brilliant as it was ingenious. It was simply to arrange a means of the telegraphic communication between the ap- proachinfi; train and the station, so as to ring a bell hidden away in the closet in Kate's office, engine '• 59" being the only one provided with means of completing the circuit, which was done by laying the poker upon the tender-brake so as to touch the wire in passing. Kate found an opportu- nity to acquaint John with the proposed plan, and in the meantime had found an abandoned wire which ran for a long dis- tance close by the track, and which she pro- posed to use for carryins; out her purpose. Good Friday came soon after, and John fortunately having a holiday, he and Kate went bravely to work, and before the day bad ended the task was a complete success. The dramatic finale of their love episode is told in the following It was singular how absent-minded and inattentive the opeiator was on the day that the great scientific enterprise was fin- ished. No wonder she was disturbed. Would the new line work Would her little" battery be strong enough for such a great circuit Would John be able to close it The people began to assemble for the train. The clock pointed to the hour for its arrival. Suddenly, with startling distinctness, the bell rann; clear and loud in the echoing room. With a cry of delight she put on her dainty hat and ran in haste out upon the platform. The whistle broke loud and clear oh the cool, crisp air, and "59" appeared round the curve in the woods. The splendid monster slid swiftly up to her feet and paused. " Perfect, John Perfect It works to a charm." With a spring she reached the cab and sat down on the fireman's seat. ' ' Blessed if I could tell what he was go- ing to do," said the fireman. "He told me about it. Awful bright idea You see, he laid the poker on the tender brake there, •and it hit the tree slam, and I saw the wires touch. It was just prime " But the happy moments sped, and " 59" groaned and slowly departed, while Kate stood on the platform, her face wreathed in smiles and white steam. So the lovers met each day, and none knew how she was made aware of his ap- proach with such absolute certainty. Science applied to love, or rather love applied to science, can move the world. Two w eeks passed, and then there sud- dcniy ari'ived at the station, late one even- ing, a special with the directois' car at- tiiohed. The honorable "rectors were hungry â€" they always are â€" a' I would pause on their journey and take a cup of tea and a bit of supper. The honorables and their wives and children filled the station, and the place put on quite a gala aspect. As for Kate, she demurely sat in her den, book in hand, and over its unread pages ad- mired the gay party in the brightly lighted waiti' g-room. Suddenly, with furious rattle, her electric bell spraug into noisy life. Every spark of color left her face, and her book fell with a dustv slam to the floor. What was it? What did it mean Who rang it With affrighted face she burst from her office and brushed through the astonished people and out upon the snow-covered platform. There stood the directors' train upon the track of the on-coming train. " The conductor Where is he Oh, sir Stert Start Get to the siding The express is coming." With a cry she snatched a lantern from a brcakmau's hand, and in a flash was gone. They saw her light pitching and dancing through the darkness, and they were lost in wonder and amazement. The girl is crazy Is o train is due now There can be no dan- ger. She must be â€" Ah that horrible whistle. Such a wild shriek on a winter's night The men sprang to the train, and the women and chQdren fled in frantic terror in every direction. " Run for your lives," screamed the con- ductor. A short, shsurp scream from the whistle. The headlight gleamed on the snow covered track, and there was a mad rush of sliding wheels and the gigantic engine roared like a demon. The great " 59 " slowly drew near and stopped in the woods. A hundred heads looked out, and a stalwart figure leaped down from the engine and ran into the bright of the headlight. "Kate!" " Oh John, Iâ€"" She fell into his arms senseless and white, and the lantern dropped from her nervelesB hand. They took her np tenderly and bore her iota the station faiunse and laid her on the «ofa in the " ladies' room." Wil hushed voices theynthered loond to oflTer aid and â- eomfort. Who was she? How did she save the train How did she know of its approach? " Sh« i^ my dangkter," said theold sta- Haa. master. ' She tends the tel^;raph." The preddent of the raflioad, in his gold- 1»wed â-  p ee t adeg, drew near. One gtaad in jnl^aad^wtin idlowed Kate's head see if she rerived. She opened her ^es and gaxed aboot dreamily, as if in search of amnething. " Do ^oa wish anything, my dear f aidd the President, taking her hand. ' Some water, if yon please, sir and I wantâ€" I want â€" " " Are yon looking for any onea^Hisa T" " Yes'^-^lWâ€" itis â- ottsfeter. mia'am, X feelhetten ' I sprlun^ffl ij^t4M^«n thjB.aleepws when I nn down the tntdL It islitot s^pre,^d lU sit op. " TheyJ^re gtieatiyjilened ne het re- cover, a quiet buzz oiconversatibn filled the room How did she know it? How could she tell the special was chasing iis Crood heavens If she had not known it, what an awf hi loss of life there wonld have been. It was very careless in the saperintendent to follow our train in such a reckless man- ner. "You feel better, my dear," said the President. " Yes, sir, thank you. I'm sore Tm thankful. I knew Johnâ€" I mean the engine was coming." "You cannot be more grateful than ve are to yon for averting such a disastrous col- lision." " I'm sure, I am pleased, sir. I never thought the telegap*»â€" " She paused abruptly. "What telegraph?" "I'd rather not tell, sir. " " But you will tell us how you knew the engine was coming " " Must you know?" " We ought to know in order to reward you properly." She put up her hand in a gesture of refusal, and was silent. The President and directors consulted together, and two of them came to her and briefly said they would be glad to know how she had been made aware of the approaching danger. " Well, sir, 11 John is willing, I will tell you all. " John Mills, the engineer, was call- ed, and he came in, cap in hand, and the entire company gathered round in the great- est eagerness. Without the slightest affectation, she put her hand on John's grimy arm, and said " Shall I tell them, John They wish to know about it. It saved their lives, they say." "And mine, too," said John, reverently. ' ' You had best tell them, or let me. " She sat down again, and then and there John explained how the open circuit line had been built, how it was used, and frankly told why it had been erected. Never did story create profounder sen- sation. The gentlemen shook hands with him, and the President actually kissed- her for the company. A real corporation kiss, loud and hearty. The ladies fell upon her neck, and actually cried over the splendid girl. Even the children pulled her dress, and put up their arms about hei^ neck, and kissed away the happy tears that covered her cheeks. Poor child she was covered with con- fusion, and knew not what to say or do, and looked imploringly to John. He drew near, and proudly took her hand in his, and she bi-ushed away the tears and smiled. The gentlemen suddenly seemed to have found sometl ing vastly interesting to talk about, for they gathered in a knot in the comer of the room. Presently the Presi- dent said aloud " Gentlemen and directors, you must pardon me, and I trust the ladies will do the same, if I call you to order for a brief matter of business." There was a sudden hush, and the room, now packed to suffocation, was painfully quiet. "The Secretary will please take minutes of this meeting." The Secretary sat down at Kate's desk, and there was a little pause. " Mr. President J" Every eye was turned to a corner where a gray-haired gentlemen had mounted a "Mr. President!" " Mr. Graves, director for the Province, gentlemen." " I beg leave, sir, to offer a resolution." Then he began to read from a slip of paper. " Whereas, John Mills, engineer of en- gine number ' 59,' of this railway line, erect- ed a private telegraph and, whereas, he, with the assistance of the telegraph operator of this station (I leave a blank for her name), used the said line without the consent of this company, and for other than railway business It is resolved that he be suspended per- manently from his position as engineer and that the said operator be requested to re- sign,â€"" A murmur of disapprobation filled the room, but the President commanded silence, and the State Director went on. " â€" resign her place. It is further resolved, and is hereby order- ed, that the said John Mills be and is ap- pointed chief engineer of the new repair shops at Slawson." A tremendous cheer broke from the com- pany, and the resolution was passed with a shout of assent. How it all ended they never knew. It seemed like a dream, and they could not be- lieve it true till they stood alone in the win- ter's night on the track beside that glorious " 59." Thefew cars theengine had brought up had been joined to the train, and " 59' had been rolled out on the siding. With many hand- shakings for John, and hearty kisses for Kate, and a round of parting cheers for the two, the train had sped away. The idlers had dispersed, and none lingered about the abandoned station save the lovers. " 59" would stay thai night on the siding, and they had walked up the track to bid it a long f arewelL For a few moments they stood in the glow of the great lamp, and then he quietly put it out, and left the giant to breathe away its fiery life in gentle clouds of white steam. AS for the lovers, they had no need of its light. The winter's stars shone upon them, and the calm cold nis;ht seemed a paradise below.

For the time she was so absorbed in her story that we saw everything with a distinctive- ness that left a laatiagu^Maaiim. ItMHU- possible to forget Mother Rabele's stones. Late one night just befiore going to bed ttie old sexton heard the soft incessant rap-rap- r*p of his hammer, and a wierd feeling CTept over him. In those times onr people Uved near the synagogue, and as in days of old the sexton went morning and evening from house to house of the little community and called the people to prayer by knocking three times on each door with his hammer. Still on in the night the sexton heard that strange tap-tap-tap. " That hammer will not let me sleep, he called to his daughter, who was restlessly turning on her bed in the next room. She too had heard the uncanny tapping. ^^ " Some one of our people is about to die, she said with a shudder; and a cry of an- guish wrtmg itseK from her heart. " My God! It is the Rabbi!" At the same instant the tapping of the hammer ceased, and some one knocked on the window and hurriedly called " Get up and collect the people to repeat psalms, for the Rabbi is dying " In the stillness of the night the well- known blows of the hammer at each door re- sounded again and again along the deserted street. With trembling heart the sexton's daughter heard the echo of her father's ham- mer, and as the sounds died away she felt as if the Rabbi had drawn his last breath. But the prayers of the people held back his depart- ing soul, though the shadow cf death still hung over him. When morning dawned he still lived, but hope had departed from the hearts of the people, and they began to think unconscious- ly of the grave to Iw dug in the little bury- ing ground. The company of young men who received daily instruction in the Talmud and the love of the Rabbi from hi« lips, mourned their beloved teacher as one al- ready dead. "Ah God," they said to one another, " Can we do nothing to preserve the Rabbi's life?" " Let us collect years for him," exclaimed one. "Perhaps God will hear us." And then according to an old custom among our people one of the scholars went from house to house with a paper in his hand, and each one wrote down how many years, weeks or days of his life he would give for the dying Ribbi. The daughter of the sexton was standing at the door just as the student pass- ed. " And will you give nothing; for the Rab- bi ' he call ed to her. " My life My whole life I will give to him," she said sobbing. " Shall I write it down " " Yes, write it down write it down ' she cried passionately. And the youth en- tered Rachel's life on the paper. The self same hour the Rabbi began to grow better. On the seccond day after, they carried the body of a young maiden to the old burying ground â€" it was the daughter of the sexton. And the name of Rabbi Ben Horad was not stricken out of the Book of the Living. It was remarkable at first, after his recov- ery the Rabbi was happy and full of life with wonderful rapidity and completeness he became strong and vigorous. But, then, he again grew pale and gloomy and people knew not why it was. They did not know that when the Rabbi sat and studied Ute at night over the Talmud there came floating into his room the sweet notes of song, and that when he opened the window he saw be- low the form of a beautiful maiden, whose smile gleamed through the vile of darkness. "Now she can sing and is as free as a wondering bird," thought the Rabbi, and in the quiet night he wept over the silent leaves of hia book. Once at midnight sor- rowful moans resounded about the house, strange cries as if wrung forth by anguish. And soon after he heard the vague crying of a new born child. " She is saved the cruel pangs of motherhood " exclaimed the Rabbi. Every night he heard the low crying of the babe, and the beautiful cradle-songs of the mother. And the sorrow that weighed heavier and heavier on his heart, made him weep bitterly. As years went by he heard three times the cry of pain, as on that night. Then came a new-born babe, and thj won- drous cradle £ongs. For a long time it was quiet and pea.;eful with the Rabbi, yet once again resounded a beautiful exhulting song. "•Now her first-born is celebrating the first of his thirteenth year I have deprived her of this great joy." Again it was quiet for a long time, tUl after some years a new beautiful song floated into his window one night as he pored over his books. " It is the betrothal of her daughter, and I have taken this happiness from her " And a tear fell glittering upon the face of the Talmud, in which he was delving for the thousandth time. Now he heard the voice constantly, but never weeping or comjRain- ing always in a splendid happy song. "She would have been a happy mother," groaned the Rabbi, in anguish of spirit, " and I cut offher beautiful life!" So the Rabbi lived through the whole life the maiden's. Sometimes he even longed to have the wondrous melodies cease, and to hear instead the cries of pain, that he might know, that she would have suffered. If she had lived. But they came not, and the Rabbi wept over his Talmud. " She would have been happy 1 She would have been happy 1" he groaned, Then he wuhed to die, the singing at night made his life hateful to him but his prayer was not granted. He became old and de- crepit; his peo^e sank into the grave be- fore him, even the children whom he had hlessed at birth, became bed-ridden with age. !nii9y died bnt he could not.

A gentleman who had engaged an Irish girl as cook and housemaid combined brought a live lobster from town with which to test her abilities as cook. Havijig given her careful directions how to cook it, he ad ded, "Don't boil it too long, Bridget, or yon will spoil its color." "All right, sorr, said the confident Bridget. When the lobster appeared on the table, it was jet black. " Hallo, Bridget," said the master of the house â€" " you have not boiled this so long as I told you " " Oh, yes, sorr, I have, sorr I did it just as ye towld me." " But," said he, " if you had, it would be red, not black.

(Toronto Globe, Murch 5th, 1887.) The report of tne Federal Life Assurance, of Hamilton, which appears in another col- umn, should afford satisfaction to all who arc interested in that company either as stock-holders or policy-holders. To stock- holders it indicates such success in increas- ing the company's business as must soon place a satisfactory margin to their credit, and to policv- holders it indicates public confidence in the company and a successful future. That the Holmans plan, which is a specialty with the Federal, is increasing in popularity as it becomes more widely known and better understood, is also indicated by the fact of the very rapid progress made by the company. A new business in excess of three and a quarter millions at its early age is truly marvellous. It is claimed by the Federal that no system practiced by any other company doing business in Canada gives guaranteed insurance at so low a cost. ^, Heart Disease, The symptoms of which are " Faint spells, purple lips, numbness, palpitation, skip beats, hot dashes, rush of blood to the head, dull pain in the heart with beats, strong, ra- pid and irregular.
