FREIGHTS-There were but few arrivals the past
week. consequently the supply of tonnage is light,
but as rule the market is quiet without material
change in rates. Lumber freights are rather scarce
for coastwise, while the demand for ice vessels is
BETTER for which there is some inquiry to load ice
from here to Staten Island and Philadelphia. For
the West Indies business is dull. The following

1R10aT RATS
For Butte ahippeu

AZ already noticed in these column,
mr. +. Il. Mcconnell Of Salt Lake. tn
eneIal western agent Of the Union p,
enc Railway company, is now in thi,
CITY, and Is prepared to make contr,ct,
with oil shippers for the present year.
MI. Mcconnell viii make hi, head
quarters at the banking house Of Hoe
brownlee 4 Co., in the Chamben
dock, and will remain here eight or ten
Gays. Allcontracts made by him with
the merchants, mills, smelters and shin
Pers Of al sorts for the year will relat,
BACK to January LIST, and take effect
rom hatdate. 1t is and always ha1
been the policy Of the Union Pacific
company in all cases where it control,
the shi piping business Of q town or CITY,
to make absolutely uniform mites for all
without any discrimination between 1
man who receives hundred tons and {
man who receives q thousand. Thi.
policy will be carried through by Mr..
Mcconnell in his dealings with Butte
merchants. There has been no devia-
ton from it except in cs.ses where there
was competition over another line. Of
by river, and the competing lines made
such determinations.
In general it may be said that rates
will he practically the same AZ they were
last year, and between certain points,
lower than they were. For instance
all rates from Omaha and st. Louis
to Butte will he less.
From Chicago to Butte last year the
rates for first-class freight were $4l7
rer 100 pounds. This year they will be
$4.25 per 100 pounds, an advance Of eight
cents per 100 pounds. This increase in
rates Is due to an increase in the charges
over lines east of Council Bluffs not con.
trolled by the Union Pacific company,
and does not accrue in any way to the
benefit of the latter company, the fact
being that under the new schedule the
u. P. company receives less than It did
last year. This will, however, be more
than compensated for by the increase Of
business. Last year the rates for first.
class freight from st. Louis to Butte
were All per 1OO pounds, this year they
will be $4.05, with corresponding de
crease in all classes. In fact taking
freight rates from all points east t.
Butte, IS offered now by the Union Pa
cific Railway company, they represent
q general reduction rs far as this comps'
nv is concerned on all classes Of goods.

Restless Nj ghts.

Some persons ''toss and tumble" half the
night and get up in the morning weary, un-
refreshed and dispirited wholly unfit, cit er
in body or mind, for the duties of the day:
thayare not only incapactated for business,
but are ten rendered so ungracious in
their manners, so irritable and fretful as to
spreads gloom over the VIII lie household
To be able to go to bed and be in a sound
delicious sleep, an unconscious delciousness
in five minutes, but enjoyed in it's remem-
brance, is a great happiness, All incalculable
blessing, and o e for which the most sincere
and feverent thanks should habitually go up
to that benefcent Providence which vouches
safe the same through the instrumentaities
ola wise and self denying attention to the
laws of our being.
Restless nights as to persons in apparent
good health arise chiefly from, first, an over
loaded stomach; second, from worldly care;
portioned to the need of the system. Few
will have restless nights who take dinner at
midday, and nothing after that except
piece of cold bread and butter, and cup of
hot drink; anything beyond that only
tempts nature to eat when there is no cause
of it, thus engendering dyspepsia and all its
train of evils.
Worldly care!-for those who cannot sleep
from the unsatisfactory condition of their
affairs, who feel as if they were going be-
hindhanded, or they are going to encounter
great losses, whether from their own remiss-
ness, the perfidy of their friends, or una
voidable circumstances, we have deep and
siucere sympathy. To such we say, live
hopefully for better days ahead, and meen-
while strive diligently, persistently, and
with brave heart to the end.
But the most common cause of restless
nights is that exercise has not been taken
to make the body tired enough to demand
sleep. Few will fall to sleep soundly if the
whole of the daylight, or as much thereof
as will produce moderate fatigue, is spent
in the open air, or on horseback, or on foot
Many spoil all their sleep by attempting to
force more on nature than she reqnires.

The ordinance in reference to the danger

sorrowful to behold

gence of the Street Commissioner in not at

Bed and Bedrooms.

Bed and beding need especial care; on fine
days keep yeur sleeping room windows open
several hours, ifposible. and if not conspic-
uous, leave your beds unmade, and let pill
lows and mattresses air in the sun. Thorough
ly examine the bedstead-take out the Stats,
which you will probably find covered with
dust-accumuated dust will also be found
on the Stats of spring beds. Wipe this off
with salt and water Salt dissolved in avery
little water should be put on with "a small
paint brush in all the corners Of the bedstead,
to prevent vermin from finding a place. If
by chance they are already there; this must
be repeated as often as twice a week, until
they are extermated Also wipe the edges
of the mattresses well with a cloth wrung
out salt and water. You should meet this
matter promptly, and give it your superYi-
sion, for, if not attended to at once, they will
get the better of you and cause great aunoy-
ance.
Few things are more imperatvely wanted
by the health and comfort Of the househould
than clean beds and well ventilated sleeping
rooms. AS houses are generally made it is
better to draw down theupper sash of a win
dow, for the reason that the warmestair, par
ticularly during the winter, collects nearthe
ceiling, and injurious matters are called up
into it from the floor Drawing down the
sash will afford a duble means ofventilation;
permitting the warm and noxious air to es-
cape, and the outer air to enter at the bottom
of the sash through tho lower one. When
the weather is cold, it is not necessary the
upper sash he lowered much; an inch OF two
would be sufficient for room of the average
size-that is fourteen or fifteen feet square
A room which is used for general assem-
bling of family, what is called living
room, should not be less than that in dimen.

Walk for Health.

What is better than a walk in winter as
stimulent to the nerves? How grateful the
crisp air to the lungsl How clear and
sweet it is to the nostrilsl How it inspires
and sustains one in a swinging gait of four
or five miles an hour! How the cheeks glow
and the eyes shine, and the mucles tingle
with delightful vigor, after such walk in
the winter sunshine! A chaise ride is not
half so good, for it robs the trip of the nee
essary exercise. Try it-you will seek
health and strength. Winter walking as a
nervine is very much better than medicine,
and for improving the complexion is worth
a whole harbor full of lotions and washes.
1t will put an edge on appetite that You can
not buy at the DOCTORS, and in promoting
digestion is better than corner drug-shop's
intire stock of bitters and pills. If you
have never tried it, take a walk. Keep your
mouth closed, your shoulders well thrown
back, your head up and remember your
legs-and especially your hips were given
you to walk with.
Some people walk with their knees, bodies
and shoulders-and no wander they don't
like it. We do not like to see them. There
is an art in walking as in other things. If
you do not believe it, observe the motion of
some shapely woman who knows how to
move, or study tn gait of a man who has
some spring and litheness in him. 1t is
never too late to learn how to walk by walk
ing. And, once learned it is delightful
accomplishment.

The point has been made that bad odors

rne Food and Treatment ofInfants.

rhe Food and Treatment of Infants.
During he first year the onlysuitable nour-
iShment for an infant is its own mothers
m Tx. or that of a healthy wet-nurse. Suck
ing should be repeated every two hours
less frequently at night. When it is i'm
possible to give breast milk, either from the
milk given tepid, reduced at first one-half
by the addition of water slightly sweetened,
and after few weeks one-fourth only, is
the next best substitute. In giving milk TO
an infant always use glass or earthen-ware
vessels, not metallic ones, aud always observe
the most scrupulous cleanliness in their
management; rinsing whenever used. AL
ways avoid the use of teats or cloth or
sponge so frequently employed to appease
hunger or quiet crying. Avoid carefully all
those nostrums and compounds so literally
advertised as superior to natural food. New
er forget that artificial nourshment, wheth-
er by nursing bottle or spoon, without the
breast, increases to an alarming degree the
chances of producing sickness and death.
tits always dangerous to give an infant es-
pecially during the first two months of its
life, solid food of any kind-such as Bread
cakes, meats, vegetables or fruit. Only
after the seventh month, and when the
mothers milk is not sufficien to nourish
the child, should broths be allowed. After
the first year is ended then it is appro-
plate to give light broths or paps, made
with milk and bread dried flour, rice and
the farinaeeous articles, to prepare for
weaving. A child ought not to be weaned
until it has cut its first twelve or thirteen
teeth. and then only when in perfect health.
A child should be washed and dressed every
morning, before being nursed or fed. In
bathing child, temper the water to the
weather, and carefully cleanse the body. An
infants clothing should always be so arrang-
ed as to leave the limbs freedom of motion,
and not to compress any portion of the body.
An infants clothing should be studiously a.
dapted 70 the weather; avoiding at all
times exposur1 to the injurious effects of
sIdden changes in tNIhefalHGe without nrons
er covering but nurseries and sleeping a.
partments should invariably be well ven
tilated.
An infant should not be taken into the
open air before the fteenth day after birth,
and then only in mild, fair weather. 1t is OBJ
jectionable for an infant to sleep in the same
bed either with its mother or nurse. No
mother should be in to great a hurry to
make a child walk; let it crawl and accus-
tom itself to rising on its feet by climbing
on articles of furniture or assisted by the
arms of a careful attendant Great care
should be taken in the too early use of ba-
by wagons, &c. No trifling ailments in in
fants, such as COLES. frequent vomiting, di-
arrhoea, coughs, &C., if persistent, should
be neglected-a physicians advice should be
at once obtained. A child ought to be vac
cinated before the ninth month";

The MORNING News nf last Saturday
did this people an especial service in giving
an analysis of various samples of VIII sley as
is dosed olt by front street GROCERIES.
The analysis given by DIR. j. II. j. Bush--a
careful and thoroughly competent Chemist
is as strong plea for the cause of temper
ance as could possibly be made: Further
more the News by its enterprise. has eStab-
ished the fact that these dens of iniamy
should be summarily closed.
By referring to the News we notice that
Picrotoxin is one of the generally adultera-
tions that is commonly used-ths dru is
as poisonous and as deadly in it's action as
strychnine, and it closely resembles this
drug in its effects upon the animal economy.
After reading carefully the analysis as
furnished above referred to, we are fully per-
sua led that very many of the fatal cases
that are pronounced Alcoholic Apoplexy' are
llotnlnS more or less IMAM paralysis ot the
nervous centres due to the poisonous effects
of Picrotoxn. A drug that is followed
even in comparatively small doses, with
vertigo, delirium and destruction of the
power of locomotion should have its sale
prohibited except under well defined re-
strictions. Minute quantities of Picrotoxin
when applied to abraded surfaces of the
body have been followed by conyulsions,
coma and death.
The person who adulterates his liquors
with this active poison, is both morally and
legally responsible for whatever fatal results
may ensue: and if the proper city officials do
not make an effort to remedy the grave evil
that has been so clearly pointed out to them
by the Morning News, they will be crimin-
ally unmindful fther responsib lties.
