Oil Yourself a Little,

There is taaa-humor in tbs follow
ing story. Once upon q time there
lived an old gentleman in large
house. He had servants and every
thing he wanted. and yet he was not
happy, and when things did not go as
he wished, be was very cross. At
last his servants left him. Quite out
of temper he went to a neiehbor with
a story Of his distresses. at seems
to me- said the neighbor, sagacious-
~, "'twould be well for you to oil
yourselfa little" ''To oil myself p
Eyes; and | will explain: Some
time ago one of the doors in my house
creased; Nobody therefore liked to
go in or out by it, One day | oiled
its hinges, and it has been constantly
used by every body ever since. Then
you think l am ike the creakinr
door, cried the old gentleman How
do you want me to oil n1yself?'
"Ibat's an easy matter" said the
neighbor. GO home and engage
servant, and when he does right,
praise him. If, on the contrary, he
does something amiss, do not be cross
oil ,onr VOICE and words with the oil
of love"
The old gentleman went home. and
no harsh or ugly words were ever
heard in the house afterward. Every
family should have bottle precious
oil, for every family is liable to have
a creasipg hinge il the shape Of a
tretiul disposition, cross temper

There Is considerable excitement among
railroad men in New York because there
seem to be no hopes of bringing the rail-
road war to an end. A prominent railroad
man has said that within day or two
there will probably be break from 30 to
so per cent. in passenger rates, and freight
will be carried at merely nominal figures.
All hands mean fight, and it is going to be,
to some extent, question Of endurance.
The roads that are in the hands Of the
receivers, such as the Eric and the Yer
mont Central, will have the best of the
fight, for they have neither bond, interest
or work dividends to pay, and have only to
look out for their expenses. The war as
to passenger rates has not begun yet in
New York, although it is the intention of
the competing lines to make a reduction of
at least 20 per cent. very soon. AS the
Grand Trunk begun Friday to sell tickets
from Boston to Chicago for SIG, the COM
pact rate having been 1855, it is proba-
BILE that the same rate will be made out of
| New York. In that event the other com
panes will have to follow suit and centen.
tennial travel will be cheap.
To show the ruinous rates to which CON-
petition has reduced the roads carrying
east bound freight, it is only necessary tC
cite one incident. Last week the Grea
Western, Michigan Central and New Yorl
Central, which are close connections, con
tracted to transport 300, 900 bushels o
grain from Chicago to New York for 81
cents per 100 pounds.
