A LITTLE SOCIETY LADY.
I know a little maiden well
A pretty girl is she
Who is a judge of all that's swell.
And courts "Society
She'll tell you if a thing's in style,
Or put entirely,
And really knows an awful pile i 4*
AboutSociety."
For youthful games she does not care,
Though happy as can be
When she a stylish gown can wear
Out in Society."
She thinks much more of hats and wraps
Than of geography
For who cares for horrid maps
In gay "Society?"
It takes an hour to fix her curls,
Par less for history,
But they're no time tolearn, the girls
That like Society. 1
She may be weak In 'rithmetic,J
But takes the "bakery"
When she with curls and bangs so slick
Goes "Society."

Who Was It That Carried the Bed
Light TJp the Track
One Saturday afternoon my brother
and I drove over to Crossfield Station
to meet our father, but found that there
had been a change of time on the rail
road, and the tram would not arrive for
nearly an hour. After loitering about
for a few moments, Harry proposed
that we walk down the track a bit, to
pass away the time.
We had gone but a short distance,
when we came to a place where the
rails crossed the highway, and there
we saw an old man, evidently a cripple,
sitting in a wheel-chair. He seemed
to have purposely planted himself in
the middle of the track, and he now
sat unconcernedly reading his newspa
per, apparently quite unconscious of
our approach.
"I declare," exclaimed Harry, "if
that isn't stupid to sit right between
the rails! Suppose the train should
come along?"
Then as we drew still nearer, he ad
dressed the stranger:
'Don't you think, sir, that it is rather
dangerous to sit there on the track in
that way9"
The old man looked up from his
paper, a little surprised at first, and
then apparently much amused.
"No, young man," he answered, at
length "I don't think it 'rather dan
gerous.' I've been a flagman on this
road a great many years, and I never
got run over yet
"Oh'" said Harry, altering his tone
considerably at discovmg that the old
man was an employe of the road, and
policing for the first time that the
stranger had a little red flag rolled up
beside him.
"And besides," continued the flag
man, "I've got into the habit of sitting
here when no train is due. People
feel perfectly safe to drive over the
street when they see me between the
rails."
"I should think they would," said
Harry. And then, quite willing to
change the subject, he asked if there
was any thing worth seeing farther
down the track,
"Yes,1'
was the reply. "There's a
new bridge a quarter of a mile beyond
that's worth seeing, particularly as it
was there we came near having a
dreadful accident two years ago, when
one of the piers was carried away."
We thanked him, and were moving
on, when he added. "Perhaps you'd
like to hear the story before you go
down. It won't take long to tell it, and
it's well worth telling, too"'
We were not so old yet that we were
not always ready for a story, and we
gladly sat down on the grass beside the
track, and listened to the following in
teresting narrative, which I give as
nearly as possible in the flagman's own
words
'If you should go on down the track,"
he began, "you would come to a stone
bridge, anew one, because, two years
ago this April, on a dark, ramy night,
the river rose and carried away the
old one, which was partly wooden.
There is a trainan express
that goes through here every
night in the year, except Sunday
nights, at 9 35. It does not stop
at the station, but comes straight on
down here, and over the bridge, and
away for Boston. Two years ago it
was a part of my business to go up and
down the track every night, to see if
the track was in condition for that train
to go through. My boy has tOfdo it
for me now. i i
"On this particular night I took my
lanternI always took a red one, so as
iio have it in case I should need to sig
nal the trainand, calling my dog,
started off down the tratfe about half
An hour before the train was due. It
%as very dark, but it's about as easy
to walk on the track at one time as an
other, and I went on at a pretty rapid
.gait. All of a sudden I felt the ground
giving way beneath me, and I knew I
was going down. I dropped my lan
tern, and tried to save myself, but there
-was nothing to get hold of, and in an
instant I felt myself going faster and
iaster. And then I seemed to lose
"breath, and strike with gVeat violence
against something solid, after which I
must have become insensible.
"It was hours after that I awoke to
find myself lying in my own bed at
home. 4 $t g?em $hat the first pier of
the bridge had been carried away, and
I had walked off the embankment on
this side. It was by one of God's
wonderful laeretes that in soma way I
had been caught among the fallen
timbers below in such a way as to save
me from drowning, though, as it was,
it cost me dear My spine was so in
jured by the fall that I have never
walked a step since.
"One of the first things I asked,
when I was able to talk of the matter,
was about the train. Joe Varnish, the
engineer of the express locomotive,
who was off duty while the hridge was
down, was by me at the time and told
me the story.
'How comes it that you are here,
Joe, instead of at the bottom of the
river, you and the whole train?" I
asked.
"He looked at me with a queer look
a moment, and then he stooped over,
and took up from the floor a red Ian
terni lknew it the moment I saw it,
as the one I had carried that night,
and I remembered dropping it as
began to fall.
'It's that that saved us!" said he.
"I was puzzled both at his manner
and at what he said, but I was more
puzzledand startled, toowhen he
went on to explain:
'We were coming down the road a
little late, full drive, at forty-five miles
an hour,' said he, 'and had just passed
the station, and I had whistled for the
crossing, when I caught sight ahead of
us, and not a great way off either, of a
danger-signal, the red light. It was
right in the middle of the track, and
evidently approaching, moving up and
down quickly, as though the man who
carried it was running with all his
might.
'Of course, I reversed and whistled
down the brakes in an instant and it
wasn't half a minute, may be, before
we came to a standstill, with the light
now almost upon us. And almost be
fore we were fully stopped, I jumped
down and ran ahead to meet it, and
learn what was the matter. It was
some rods ahead yet, and I could still
see it swinging from side to side, as
though the person bringing it had now
slackened his pace to a walk. A sec
ond later it seemed stationary, and
seemed to be waiting for me to come up.
As I came close upon it, you may imag
ine my astonishment to find it set down
in the middle of the track, and not a
soul to be seen anywhere around
'I spoke, and then called aloud and
then shouted, but got no response.
And before this, I had not heard any
sound or footfall.* And when, a mo
ment later, the conductor and some of
the tram-men came up with lights, we
searched out, and could not find any
traces of the person who seemed to
have left it there
'Then we went on down the road,
and there we found the bridge gone.
As we approached, your dog com
menced howling, and we found him on'
the edge of the embankment, and in
ferred that you had fallen down the
embankment We searched at once,
and found you almost dead, though I
am very glad to say not quite that'
"That was the way Joe told me the
story. And when he had finished, I
lay there thinking it over for some
time. At last I said.
'Joe, how could it have got there
the lantern9'
"Joe shook his head.
'I can't tell,' said he. AU I know
about it is, that it was there, and it/
saved the train. But I'm sure it wasn't
done by any human hand!'
"I thought it over for some moments'
longer. I did not believe in ghosts, or
spirits, or any thing of the sort Some
body or something living must have
taken the lantern from the spot where
I dropped it as I fell down the embank-'
ment, and carried it up the track to
the place where Joe Varnish first found
it. And all at once I was sure I had
solved the enigma.
'Joe,' said I. 'I have it!'
'How is that9'
he asked.
'There were three of us that went
down, and found that bridge gone,'
said I.
'Three?' repeated he, more mysti
fied than ever.
'Yes,' said I. 'Myself, the lan
tern and the dog. "Now I could not
have taken the lantern up the track.
And it couldn't have taken itself up
there. Therefore, it must have been
the third one of usdon't you see?'
"Joe stood a moment puzzling over
it. Then his face broke into a broad
smile, and he nodded his head:
'Yes,' he said, at length. 'Yes, I
see.'"
The old flagman ended his story,
and looked up at Harry and me as we
stood there, not quite comprehending
even now just how it all had happened.
"What' Don't you see either?" asked
he, and he laughed heartily to himself,
for a moment Then he put his fingers
to his lips, and gave a shrill whistle.
The next instant a large black dog
came bounding down the road, and
came to the old flagman's side. His
master laid his hand affectionately on
the black, curly head, and looked up
at Harry and me once again.
"I'll make you acquainted withSig,"
said he. "Signal is his full name.
I've called him by it ever since that
night. It was Sig that carried the red
light up the track."John Brownjohn,

said the teacher, "what does your

replied: "She sometimes calls him an

Housekeepers used to be reminded
sometimes of the excellent dishes
which may be made from rice. It is
not only excellent served as a vegetable,
with cunes or chickens in any form,
but is a foundation of some of the best
eold puddings. Ordinary boiled rice
molded in cups, served with a bit of
crimson acid jelly or preserve and a
sauce of boiled cuetard, is a most
delicious dessert.

six or eight ounces of powdered loaf
sugar in it, then gradually stir in the
strained custard and freeze. Half a
pint of clarified sirup may be used in
stead of loaf sugar, and a gill of
whipped cream stirred in it at the last
will always be an improvement.
BUILDING *A SILO.
Two Plans Which Have Given Great
Satisfaction to Their Originators.
From all the estimates and figures
we have seen, the average cost of
building a silo fov-SO to 150 tonsof a^[?^
silage, is $1 per ton. The saving on
feed the first year will pay this. The
first silo used in Illinois was dug, not
built. There are those who still claim
that dug silos are the best. Dr. W. A.
Pratt, of Elgin, who has three, is among
the number His soil contains gravel
and he needs no tile draining to have
his silo dry He digs his silo seven
feet deep, wide enough to receive the
corn (uncut) lengthwise, and to any
desired length. After filling he covers
with a foot of earth, and when cold
weather comes adds a little straw. He
reports no waste from mold about the
sides or bottom. If you wish to build
one, here are the details given by Hon.
Hiram Smith, Sheyboygan Falls, of
one he has just built to hold 140 tons:
"It is 20 by 30 feet, inside measure,
with no partition, and is constructed as
follows- Trenches are dug in the
ground around the outside, 32 by 22
feet, and the dirt thrown inside. These
trenches are filled with cobble-stones
even with the surface, and a mortar
wall one foot high above the surface of
the ground, on which is placed for sills
one thickness of plants 2x12 inches
On the sills are placed studs 2x12
inches, 16 feet long placed 32 inches
apart, and toe-nailed to sill with 32-
penny steel wire spikes and at every
other stud fence wire is fastened with
staples on the sills and around the stud
to the opposite stud across the silo.
This secures the bottom from the lat
eral pressure of the silage. On the top
of the plates, 10 feet apart, are poles
22 feet long securely fastened to the
plates and to the foot of the rafters,
which secure the ton from spreading*
The studs are sheathed outside and in
side with cull boards costing $9 per
thousand. On this sheathing is put
tar-board paper inside and outside. On
this paper is put cheap shingles, cost
ing 65 cents per thousand, inside
and outside. The shingles *are laid
five or six inches to the weather, as
ordinary roofs are constructed. One
of the advantages claimed is that no
dampness from the silage can pass
through three thicknesses of shingles
to reach the paper beyond, so that
when decay comes, it will only come
to the shingles, which can be cheaply
laid again. Another advantage is, it
is the cheapest air-tight structure
possible, as a few figures will show.
A silo wall 30 feet long and 16 high re
quires 500 feet cull boards, costing
$4.50 3,000 65-cent shingles, costing
$1.95. If the same wall was built,
many recommend, with straight-edge
boards, two thicknesses, it would re
quire 1,000 feet of boards at $12 per
thousand a saving on one wall of
$5 55, or on the four walls $22.20the
studs and the paper costing the same
in both cases. The entire cost of the
i silo will be $140, and its capacity is
144 tons of silageFarm, Meld and
