The Law of the Rail.

Some one, who has taken the trouble
to post himself on the law governing
railroad passenger travel, says that extra
charges for failure to buy tickets are
universally sustained by the courts, but
there must be full opportunity to buy
afforded by the ticket seller. Passen-
gers must show tickets when asked for.
AS to stopping off, there is only one de-
cision, which is that passenger cannot
stop of, land resume his journey, with
out the previous assent of the company.
AS to the obligation of the road to fur
nish a seat to passenger, decision
says: CA passenger who exhibits his
ticket need not surrender it until he has
been furnished with seat" A railroad
is not liable for things stolen out of a
passengers seat, there being no previ-
GUS delivery to the company's servants ;
for the same reason the company is not
liable for baggage in the passengers
own care. Passengers who neglect to
look after their own baggage on arrival
at their destination cannot recover it if
it is lost without fault of the carrier.
Baggage left in station houses for the
passengers convenience, after it has
reached its destination, comes under a
new class of rights and duties, the bag
gage master assuming the position of q
gratuitous bailee, who only becomes
liable in cases of gross negligence. The
obligation of the railroad as carrier
ceases when it has delivered to its owner
at the place of destination, or when he
has had reasonable opportunity of re-
ceiving and removing it. Tt will inter
est sportsmen to know that they may re-
cover for the value of dogs when they
intrust them to baggage masters for hire
because of their exclusion from the pas
senger cars.

Smart Rear Hunters.


A Florida letter writer says Two
young fellows. English tourists, were out
here Few years ago and wanted to hunt
bear. The Florida bear is very little
fellow, not as large as the black bear or
cinnamon bear by any means. However,
they wanted to hunt him and shoot alli-
gators, which is to the Egyptian croco-
dile about like clt to tiger. How
ever, they got very glorious over killing
one or two of them and wanted bear,
and we went with them.
The bear is easy to find. He always
goes one route. If he puts his foot on
log crossing to-day, he will cross the
same place tomorrow, and puts his foot
on the same place. We found bee
gum whe he had been, and put one
Britisher there, another in the hamak
above, and Joe and I and the dog went
to look up the bear. We got on his trail
pretty soon, and then we lost him lost
the dog, too,a half terrier and cur, black,
curly and red nosed, about as big as a
half grown sheep. Joe and came down
to the hamak and met the Englisher. He
had been keeping out the damp air. We
asked if he had seen the bear. ..-
"'Aven't been by this gone cross
lots" and then turning to Joe: i" Never

You've seen the dog. then ?" said
Joe " the bear can't be far off. !" Just
then we heard the other Britisher's gun
and dozen or so yells. We ran down
he was dancing, swapping his fingers.
"I ave i'm, John I ave shot the
bear"
We hurried down to see him dancing
around-not the bear, but Joes black
dog.
Joe was wrathy, I tell you, about "a
fool as didn't know bear dog from Q

dog over curiously with his foot, as if il
had been bear or some other curious
varmint.
I saw he was puzzled. What's the

Beating a Sewing Machine Agent.

The Rochester IN. ~ Democrat tells
the following story, and seems to take
delight in it: They tell of widow of
Leesport, Pa, who got the best
Heaven bless herl-of sewing machine
agent. Her husband some time previ-
GUS to his death had purchased ma
chine, promising to pay for it in month
ly installments. He had paid nearly the
entire sum when he died, and the widow
was unable to make up the balance. The
agent called for the machine, and the
widow demanded portion of the money
that had been paid. This was refused
in surly way.
Then the widow locked the doors of
the house, putting the key in her
pocket, and told the agent he could have
the machine when he returned the
money, and not before. She took hold
of him and q severe and prolonged
tussle ensued, while the children scream
ed and cried. The widow threw the
agent over the hot kitchen stove, and
finally succeeded in setting him down
on top of it, and held him while he
begged piteously for mercy. For
Gods sake, let me go, and I'll pay you
back every cent your husband paid me. y
Being satisfied that he was severely
scorched, she pulled him of the stove,
but held on to him until he had paid
back every one of the installments, and
then she gave him two minutes time
to take the machine and clear out with
it.
All sewing machine agents are moi
heartless men, but some of them are
the agent spoken of was probably one o.
these men.

rtomptitude Of Newspaper Debtors.

The experience of the Findlay Cour-
ier man is sad and mournful. He has
lost faith in the profession of his fellow
men. Hear how he talks:
Last week man stepped up to usand
said he would pay us every centhe owed
if he lived till Saturday night. We
presume that man died. Another said
he would pay us in a day or two, as sure
as we were born. Query-Did the man
lie, or were we born2 Another said he
would settle his bill as sure as shooting.
We are led to the conclusion that shoot
ing is decidedly uncertain. Quite a
number said they would see us to-mor-
row. Those men have been blind ever
since, or else tomorrow has not come.
One man told us six months ago that he
would pay Us as soon as he got some
money. That man would not lie, and
of course has not had cent since.
But the experience of editors is about
the same all over, says the Fremont
Journal. Last year we stopped one
mans paper who owed six dollars, He
was serving the public, and we met him
while in discharge of his duties. He
averred that as soon as he got through
and received his pay, he would make it
all right, he would, indeed. He told us
the same story this spring, and we per-
sumo hs is still assessing. Another came
all the way, five miles, to town to as
sure us that he was all right, and that
we need not be afraid. He would have
some money soon, and would pay-yes,
he would. Some time later we " saw :"
his money at distance. He was put
ting it in bank. It was the last and
only glimpse we had of it. He never
had hatchet and ran round hacking
CHEEKY trees, or they would have died
without anybody knowing who killed
them. Another would pay us after sheep
shearing. His sheep are long woods, and
it takes long while for the wool to ma
ture. Another would pay after wheat
harvest, but his wheat, like the century
plant, is of slow growth and don't ripen
often. Another had poor health but
was improving. He would get round
soon and raise some money and pay us.
He has had a relapse, for though he eats
hearty and works hard, he don't gel
Ground" worth a cent. We would
have some hopes of getting even with
such folks some day, when an administer
is appointed, if they had anything to ad
minister on, but they haven't, and, and
well we sympathize with the Courie

Sleep Up Stairs.

If we had house with a bedroom on
the first floor, we would at once abolish
the use of that room as sleeping apart
ment, because we are satisfied that it is
wrong custom, it being much healthier
to sleep up stairs. Many q family of
which the members were suffering and
weak in general, have been restored to
a vigorous and healthy condition by fol-
lowing our advice, which was to remove
their bedrooms up stairs, to have their
beds, summer and winter, exposed the
whole day to the fresh air from open
windows Except of course when there
is rain or mist), and also to have during
the whole night one window partially
open, even in winter, SO as always to in
hale the fresh cool air from the outside,

Sleep Following Supper.

There is nothing more absurd than to
pretend it is unhealthy to sleep after the
days last meal. Is not man an animal2
Do not animals, without exception,
sleep Immediately after eating3 Do we
not feel like sleeping after each days
last meal2 and is it not by an effort that
we shake off sleep? Evidently the
body yearns for sleep. Exercise immedi-
ately after every meal is pernicious.
Rest is healthful. What rest can COM
pare with sleep, which reposes the
mind, the lungs, even the heart9 See
the peasants. No persons enjoy better
health than they do. Supper is the best
meal of their day. No sooner have they
supped than they go to bed. Look at the
actors. There was Rubini. He dined
at three, went to his dressing room in
the italian opera house, and slept till
the theater opened its doors. At mid
night he supped heartily and straight to
bed he went. He died of sheer old age.
You know Mons. Theirs habit ? The
moment dinner ends he stretches him
self out to sleep and sleeps an hour.
The truth is, if you look around you
there will be found that this great ma
jority of men go to sleep Immediately
after making their best meal and you
certainly never saw anything in the
world healthier, stronger women than
those of the great markets. What is
their rule Of hfe2 Dinner and to bed.
Take another, the very opposite class
astronomers. They keep late hours.
Their best meal is taken when the stars
say "Good night" Then they go to
sleep. Did you ever hear of an astrono-
mer dying under hundred2 The ma
jority of servants and mechanics go to
sleep Immediately after taking their best
meal. They are right. They obey ma
lures voice, which always gives judicious
counsel.
