Every railroad corporation must provide,
and, on being rendered the fare therefor
fixed, furnish to every passenger desiring a
passage on their passenger cars, a ticket
which entities the purchaser to a ride and to
the accommodations provided on their cars,

refusing the passage which the same calls for
when sold, must pay to the person so refused
the sum of two hundred dollars.
All passengers need is to show their tickets
and refuse to exchange them fer checks until
arrived at the end of their journey. Such
tickets are good for six months.

PERFUME AND HEALTH. An Italian Pre-
fessor has made some very agreeable medi-
cal researches, resulting in the discovery that
vegetable perfumes exercise positively
healthful influence on the atmosphere, con
verting its oxygen into ozone, and thus in
creasing its oxydizng influence. The essen
ces found to develop the largest quantity OF
ozone are those of cherry, laurel, cloves, law
ender, mint, juniper, lemons, fennel, berga-
mot; those that give it in smaller quantity
are anis, nutmeg and thyme. The flowers
of narcissus, hyacinth, mignonette, heotrope
and lily of the valley develop ozone in closed
vessels. Flowers destitute of perfume do
not develop it, and those which have but
slight perfume develop it only in small guam
tit es. Reasoning from these facts the pro-
fessor recommends the cultivation of flowers
in marshy districts, and in places infested
with animal emenations, on account of the
powerful oxygen influence of ozone. The in
habitants of such regions should surround
their dwellings with beds of the most odorf-
erous flowers.

Now.-If were to give motto to go
through life with, one that would stand for
warning and council in any straight in which
you might find yourselves, l would give it in
this one word "Now."
Don't waste your time and your strength
and your opportunities, by always meaning
to do something-Do IT. Only weakness
comes of indecision. Why some people
have so accustomed themselves to this way
of dawdling along from one thing to another,
that il really seems impossible for them to
squarely make up their minds to anything
They never quite know what they are going
to do next, and their only pleasure seems to
consist in putting things off as long as possi-
BILE, and then rather than begin anything
else. Don't live a single hour Of your l:fe
without doing exactly what is to be done in
it, and going straight through it from begin
ming 70 ond. Work, play, study, whatever
it is, take hold at once and finish it up
squarely and ceanly, and then do the next
thing, without letting any moments drop out
between.
1t is wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to make of a
day; it's as if they picked up the moments
that the dawdlers lost. IF you find yourself
where you have so many things pressing
upon you that you hardly know how to be-
gin, let me tell you the secret; take hold of
the very first one that comes to hand, and
you will find the rest all fall into file and
follow after like company of well drilled
soldiers; and though work may be hard to
meet when it charges into squad, it is
easily vanquished if you can bring it into
line
You may have often seen the anecdote Of
the man who asked how he accomplished so
much in his life? "My father taught me, %
was the reply, "when had anything to do,
to do it, There is the secret-that magic
word NOW. ETchange.
