Hints to Travellers.
RailrOaGer,

When you get to the station, hunt up
the agent and ask him what time the
next train goes. Never mind about
telling him which way, for he can ask
you that. 1t will show whether he is
paying any attention to your question.
Then ask him what time all the other
trains come, just to see if he knows If
you think of it, ask if they stop, if they
are freight or passenger, and other lit
tie things you can think Of for you
know he gets paid for answering ques-
tons. 1t doesn't matter whether you
intend riding on the train or not. If
you are tired, go and sit down, but do
not rest longer than necessary, for you
have not inquired if the road is going to
change time soon, and what time the
train Will be likel y to get through on the
new card. Ask him what time the
trains run by on his road, and how
much faster that is than Chicago time,
for be knows, and if he does not tell. it
Is because he is uncivil Just as the
train is coming, and the ticket agent is
closing his ticket window to go out to
the train. rush up and tell him you
want ticket. Don't say anything
about where you want to 60. See how
near he can guess at it. Give him $40
bill, and after he has hurried up to get
out his change box, if there is any silver
among it, say to him: "Here, l guess I
have got the change" for this is the way
to find out his disposition. Then it is
a good time to tell him you have
trunk to check. The world was not
made in a day, and what's the use of
being in hurry, you know? Put your
ticket IN your pocket-book, and button
two or three coats over your pocket.
Don't make move to get it ready for
the conductor until he asks you for it,
for he may miss you and you would be
that much ahead. Then he has lots of
time to wait, but if he hasn't it's not
your fault. During your trip ask the
conductor all the questions you asked
the agent, tor perhaps the agent has lied
to you about some of them. 1.-THE con-
ductor answers you short in reply to
any OF your questions, it is because he
is mad at you for buying ticket. He
wanted you to pay him so be could
knock down the money-for they all
steal, you know.

Facts About the Human Body.

Every adult man has 1,4OO square
feet of lungs; or rather. the mucous
membrane lining the air cells of his
lungs, if spread upon a smooth, plane
surface, would cover an extent of / 400
SCARE feet.
About two-thirds of a pint of air is
inhaled at each breath in ordinary
respiration.
A man breathes eighteen times a
minute, and uses 5000 cubic feet, Or
about 375 hogsheads, of air per hour.
The weight Oft the heart is from eight
to twelve ounces. 1t beats 100000
times in twenty-four hours.
The stomach daily produces about
nine pounds of gestric juice for the d.
gestion of the food; It's capacity is about
five pints.

An Iowa Mans Family.
SigOurney Iowa) News.

A few weeks ago we made mention
about the twenty-ffth child of Father
Elijah McClenahan. Since that time
the old gentleman has been in to see US
and shake hands over the joyful event.
We learned that fifteen of his children
were boys, and ten of them girls, and at
this time twenty of his children are liv-
ing, and ten Of them at home, and all in
reasonably good health. Two pairs of
twins were born, three boys and one girl.
He has fifty grandchildren and -FOUR
great-grandchildren. He thought at
first of calling this last child Enough,
but he has since changed his mind, for
ne is Republican and does not like
the way the Brlgadiers talk now in
congress; he thinks perhaps the gov
eminent will need some more sol
diers before many years, and desire to
do all he can to support the govern

OCCASIONALLY an event occurs which
shows the need Of peculiar care before
the burial of those who are supposed
to be dead. The following case is men
toned in the Portland Oreoonian: A
lady living near Portland was taken
violently i'll, and to all appearances
died. Preparations were made for the
interment, and after the usual interval
friends net for funeral services at the
residence Of the bereaved family. Sud-
denly slight moan was heard to issue
from the coffin. This greatly startled
the assembled neighbors, and the peo-
pie were about to rush from the room,
when the husband of the lady approach
ed the coffin, and was astonished to find
the body moist and warm. A closer
examination disclosed the fact that the
woman was breathing Restoratives
were applied, and the supposed dead
came back to life, and soon was able to
sit up and converse.

Queen Victoria ON Bangs ana Pullbacks.

Queen Victoria is said to object seri-
ousIy to the feminine fashion Of wear
ing the hair in fringe across the fore
head. 1t is stated further that she in
structed the bridesmaids who appeared
at the recent wedding of her son that
they would not be permitted to wear
their locks in that fashion, nor to don
high-heeled boots, nor to wear tied
back gowns. Last year, it is reported,
one young lady who came to a drawing
room with her hair over her eyes was
informed by the Lord Chamberlain that
until her hair had grown she need not
attend any more at the palace.

THERE has been a mysterious dis
appearance of wealthy farmer who
resided near Warren, LII. The other
morning he started for Wiota, a
neighboring village, to buy cattle,
with several hundred dollars about
his person. From there he left for Ar
gyle about 4 p. m. intending to re-
turn to Wiota the same evening.
Neither he nor the team has since
been heard of and it's feared he has
been foully dealt with.

st. Valentines Day in PlatteViue
Winds up with a ConHagratio

It was eleven O'Clock when the
sharp, hurried tones of the fire-bell
were heard to peal forth upon the
frosty al. These were the summons
which rallied at their posts within a
few minutes the "Fire Engine" and
Hook and Ladder" Companies
These were the alarm notes that
filled street, alley and lane with ex-
cited men, woman and children, all
rushing in "hot haste" to the scene
of the confiagration. Bounded on
the north by Mineral street, and on
the east by Grocery street, were
several ancient looking frame build
ings, upon some Of which had fallen
the SHOWS of thirty winters. These
buildings were occupied by three
saloon keepers, one shoemaker and
one butcher. Here was the scene Of
Of the conilagration. The fire origi-
mated in the building owned and oc-
cupied by Casper Cornelius, sa-
loon-keeper, who was at the time
absent from the village. The flames
continued their destruction until all
Of the buildings but one had been
wrapped in their fiery embrace. To
the Hook and Ladder Company is
due much praise, for the efficient
work they did in tearing down the
burning buildings, thus saving other
buildings in close proximity. The
Fire Engine Company worked faith
fully, but accomplished but little.
The $4,000 Babcock Fire Extin-
guisher, which they manipulated
proved, in my opinion, q complete
failure. When charged, and in OPP
GRAFTON it did fair work. But from
the fact that the charge must be
renewed every little while, which
recharging took time, the flames
would gain steadily upon them, thus
rendering this engine nom
effective. About $50 worth of
chemicals were used in charging the
engine.
The loss by this fire is compare
lively insignificant. Mr.. Trenary,
q wealthy farmer, owned all but one
lie was not insured, but
the buildings were old and poor.
Mr.. Cornelius was insured for $500
or $1,000. He evidently comes out
the gamer. The Milwaukee Mutual
is the loser. So far as !
can learn, it is not positively known
how the fire started. A CITIZEN.
