the railroad and all its appurtenances. Without railroads, three-quarters of the United States would now bo a wilderness, and tho same is true of great portions of other continents. Every body travels on tho railroad, and a railroad train is a familiar sight that never irrows old.

But how many of tho millions who travel know what the railroad signals

large minority vaguely wonder why

His summers are spent in "punching cows," while during the winter ho draws and paints at Helena. Mr. Kuskin ha at last officially permitted a photograph of himself to bo Issued. It was taken in tils garden, with a background of fern. His admirers may bo also pleased to learn that two views of Hrentwood, one with
