How Enola Got Its Name. Enola, the famous Pennsylvania railroad yard on the west branch of the Susquehanna, got its name In a strange way. A telegraph operator who spent the lonely hours in the little watch box, with no more than half a dozen trains a day to disturb him or break the monotony, before the big yard was built, called up the Baltimore office and asked to be relieved from such a lonesome place.

The chocolate Industry in Europe spends nearly $4,000,000 annually for tinfoil, which Is generally thrown to the winds.
