TRAIN NUMBERS.
How They are Used and How
They Grow so Large,
Travelers and commuters have often
to consider the trains as numbered in
what appears to them inexplicable
ways. For example, a request at the
information bureau of the Grand Cen
tral station will elicit the reply that
train No. 470 will not stop at Peekskill
or on the New Haveu line that train
No. 570 will stop on Saturdays at Cos
cob, but not on other days; that on the
Pennsylvania train No. 634 will stop at
Metuchen, but not at Rahway; that on
the Delaware and Lackawanna train
No. 410 is an EaBton express, and that
train No. 399 is the millionaire's special
lo Bernardsville and will stop only at
Newark. The traveler knows, of course,
that there are not so many trains and
■only identifies them by the hoar of de
parture and arrival, so this information
is usually vague enough as given by
numbers to him, although relevant
enough to railroad nteu, for it tells of
the historv of the trains.
When the railroads were new they
put on a passenger train numbered 1
and 2 and a freight train numbered 3
and 4, and they increased this service
according to the demauds of traffic,
raisiug the numbers consecutively, the
even numbered trains running one way,
the odd numbered trains the other. As
the exacting demands of new business
developed trains were increased, and
some of the old ones were dropped, but
their numbers, which still lived in the
minds of the operatives, could not be
readily duplicated, and they named
them with still higher numbers until
their numerical titles have lost relation
to tbeir source except in the minds of
employees. But as the railroads ex
tended themselves and a generation of
employees passed they returned to the
primal numbers for their important
trains, so that trains 1 and 2, 3 and 4,
5 and 6, etc., are on nearly all railways
the through expresses. But the origin
al trains, by shifting of time or other
causes, run under titles of 400, 500 or
some numeration that means nothing
to the traveler, but to the railroad man
reveals its history from origin to date.

Honor Thy Mother.
Honor thy dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy flakes upon
her brow and plowed deep furrows on
her cheek, but is bhe not beautiful now?
The lips are thin and shruuk, but those
are the lips that have kissed away many
a hot tear from the childish cheek, and
they are the sweetest lips in the world
The eye is dim, yet it glows with soft
radiauce of holy love that can never
fade. Yes, site is a dear old mother.
The sands of time are nearly ruu out,
but feeble as she is, she will go farther
aud reach down lower for you than any
other on earth. You cannot walk into
a midnight where she cauuot see you;
you cannot euter a prison where bars
will keep her out; you can never mount
a scaffold too high for her to reach aud
bless you with her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and for
sake you, wheu it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you iu her feeble
old arm» aud carry you home and tell
you of all your virtues until you almost
forget that your soul is disfigured by
vice. Love her tenderly and cheer her
declining years with holy devotion.

His mother ,
Gugiielmo Marconi, the young Italian
electrical eugiueer whose iuveutiou of
wireless telegraphic apparatus several
years ago pia. ed him iu the front rank
among the inventors a< d scientists of
the present day, was born in Bologna,
Aprd 25, 1875. Though educated iu
Italy, be has lived
laud and later in America,
was au Irish woman, aud many of the ]
young iuveutor's characteristics are
more Irish than Italian. His first prac
tical experiments with wireless tele
graphy were made in Dublin bay. In
1899 he established wireless communi
cation between France pnd England
across the English channel. His sys
tem is now used exclusively by Lloyd's
and the principal shipping companies
in England and abroad and is also em
ployed by the navies of Great Britain,
Italy and other powers. A few years
ago the maximum distance that a wire
less message could be transmitted was
14 }4 miles. Since then it haB been
found possible to communicate across
the Atlautic ocean by the wireless sys
tem. For his contributions to science
Signor Marconi has been decorated by
several of the European governments.
Two Quacks Taken Back.
He was a young doctor, the chief as
sistant of a physician who advertised
extensively that he could cure every ill.
At the lunch hour he would eat at a
restau tant where the waiters, in giving
orders to the cook, indulged iu a jargon
often times highly amusing. Thisyouug
doctor frequently informed his chief
how clever the waiters were iu using
culinary euphemisms. One day he or
dered sausage and buckwheat cakes
aud he^rd tike waiter shout: "Door mats
with a string of mystery!'* Another
time he ordered spaghetti, cheese aud
lamb, and the translation hurled to the
kitchen was : ''Dago's breath with a
bleat!" The older dbetor said he could
give an order that .would completely
stump the waiter, as it would be im
possible, on the spur of the moment, to
invent anything the cook could under
stand. A bet was made and the next
day the two doctors who advertised aud
put their pictures in the papers repair
ed to the restaurant. The older one
ordered the breast of two duetts larded.
To his consternation the waiter imme
diately bawled: "Two quacks; chesty;
hog 'em!"
Real Evidence.
"My only objection to the young
man," said the father, speaking of the
youth who proposed to his daughter,
"is that he doesn't seem to have the
least bit of foresight."
"But," answered the mother, "he lias
as much sense as you had when you
asked for my hand."
"Confound it! That's just why 1 ob
