Of the 6,293 cars of grain shipped 1887
were consigned to Chicago. 500 were

AS will be seen the coal business forms
no inconsiderable item in the shipments.
Coal is now used as fuel by nearly all of
the Minnesota Railroads, who draw their
supply from the Central. The mines are
now up to daily working capacity of six
ty cars, and with proper supply of cars
and engines, it is safe to calculate 10000
cars will be moved the present season.
This business is rendered the more profita-
BILE from the fact that the cars which go to
Minnesota with coal return loaded with
lumber. 1t is estimated that it costs two
thirds as much to haul empty as loaded

repairs for 1879 was II per cent. of the

the road be managed by its present owners,
an expenditure of at least 100000 in this

construction and repairs, showing the
handsome increase af 45 per cent. in sim

from any unusual accretion of business,
but from the ordinary development of the
country, and the growing demand for coal.

LIGHT CLoTHING.--We find the follow
of clothing in an eastern paper: "The
practice of laying aside flannels in spring
is most pernicious one. They are as
necessary in July as in January. We can
better do without woolens next to the skin
in midwinter than in midsummer. We
do not get overheated In winter; we do in
summer; and the most frequent cause of
colds, coughs and consumption, is rapid
falling of the temperature of the body. All
are familiar with the fact that a sudden
checking of perspiratiOn is always danger
Gus; very little eXertion causes US to per-
spire in summer, and a very Slight draft of
air checks the perspration; hence, colds
taken in summer excite the most incura-
BILE forms of consumption. White wooden
flannel is most efficient guard against
these sudden changes, because it keeps the
heat of the body in, while it repels the ex-
cessive heat from without; it conveys
water of perspiration to the outside, while
the surface next the skin is drier. We all
know that silk, cotton and linen next to
the skin, get saturated with water, and if,
for an instant, the slightest draft of air gets
between the skin and the material there
is charnel-like chill when that material
touches the skin. The rule should be TO
wear white wColen flannels all the year
round; thick in winter, little thinner in
April, and gauZe material on the first of
July; on the first of October resume what
was laid aside in July on the first of Dec
ember put on the thickest, extending to
ankles and wrists"

MYSTERIOUS Our friend G. H. Phelps,
says that for several mornings past he has
found things changed around in and about
his barn, in such way as to make him
think it had been visited for no good pur-
pose. One morning he found in the barn,
set of single buggy harness, left there by
some one unknown to him. He now has
the harness in his possession, and will keep
them until called for and an explanation
made as to how they came there. We
would advise persons to make such visits
