Precision in Business Matters.

How many misunderstanding arise
from the loose way in which business
matters are talked over. and then, when
each party puts his own construction on
the conversation, the matter is dismiss
ed by each with the words, "all right,
all right" Frequently it turns out all
wrong, and becomes question for law
yers and the courts. More than three
fourths of the litigation of the country
would be saved, if people would put
their agreements in writing and sign
their names to them. Each word in our
language has its own particular mean
ing, and memory may, by the change OF
its position in sentence, convey an en-
tirely different idea from that intended.
When once reduced to writing, ideas
are fixed, and expensive law suits
avoided.

European Railways.

According to French official statistics
the total length of working railways in
Europe, which on Dec. 81, 1880, was
168,419 kilometers, amounted on Dec.
81, 1881, to 1882 kilometers; the to-
tai increase in 1881 being thus 1888
kilometers, or 2,35 per cent. of the cx-
tent worked in the end of 1880. France
shows the greatest increase-viz., 1,411
kilometers' or 80. 45 per cent. in the to-
tai increase. Looking at the absolute
development of the system of each
country. without taking into account
the proportion relatively to the surface,
it appears that the European states
rank as follows, with regard to import
ance of railway system: Germany "a,
314 kilometers; Great Britain and Ire
land, 80, 232 kilometers; France, 1855
Kilometres; Russia and Finland, 23,529
Kilometres; Austria-Hungary, 1926
kilometcrs. Then follow in order, but
with railway systems, the most import
ant of which is under 10000 kilometers
Italy, Spain Sweden and Norway,
Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg,
Switzerland. Denmark, Roumania. Tur.
key. Bulgaria and Roumelia. Portugal,
and lastly Greece, which has only IL
kilometers of railway.

Near Sightedness.

Where acquired near sightedness ex-
lists it may have begun to make its APP
pearance in early life, perhaps almost
as soon as the child was set at his books.
Unless it appears before the age of six
teen it is not likely to appear at all. But
great many who think their eyes per-
fect-and, indeed, really have perfect
eyes in comparison with those more
grievously afilicted-are really more or
less myopic. Not only is the vision of a
majority of men and women defective
in one respect or another, but it has
been established beyond reasonable
doubt that in all highly civilized COM
munities myopia is developed in at
least sixty, and perhaps seventy, per
cent. of the pupils who reach the high
est grades or 60 through the last years
of school attendance. The disease, it
clearly appears, is progressive. The
eve gradually elongates. or is otherwise
altered in structure or form, reaching in
most instances constant point of mis-
shapement. when the near sightedness
becomes fixed, but in some cases con-
tinuing to get out of order through all
the years of book-stlldy, until the twen-
tieth or twenty-fifth year, or even almost
until the close of life. In most near
sighted persons the acuteness as well as
the extent of vision is impaired, and in
the worst cases of progressive shor: sight
the retina suffers serious damage, or alb
solute blindness supervenes. lfoper
glasses may enable short sighted per-
sons to see comfortably, but they are al
ways voted by their wearers nuisance,
and they do not restore diseased eyes
to health, or prevent them, under GER
tain circumstances from becoming more
and more unsound.

What Railroad Trains Are Worth.

But few persons as they see one CT the
fast express trains go by are aware OF
the value of such u train. What is
known as the Royal Limited Express
over the Pennsylvania road. as the train
is ordinarily made up, represents over
100000, as follows: Engine, $4,000;
baggage car, 81, 200; smoking car, 49,
600; dining-room car, $4,000; five ele-
giant Pullman cars, $4,000 each, $780,
900. While this may seem to be an ex-
ception, the ordinary express trains
represent $S3, 900 to $4,000. The en-
CINE and tender. which are considered
together, valued $10,500; the baggage
car, $1,000; the postal car, $1,000; the
smoking car, $4,000; the two. ordinary
passenger cars, $4,000 each; and three
palace cars, $4,000 each-total, $685.
900. The palace cars put down at
$4,000 are in many cases worth $18,-
900, and some Pullman cars are now
run that cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 1t is stated that the average
value Of a freight train is still greater
than passenger train when the rolling
stock and value Of property are includ-
ed. Some of the freight Of one of these
through trains aggregates in value
$3.50, 900 to 100000, and what is a lit
tie singular is the fact that the trains
moving westward are more valuable
than those moving eastward-a large
per cent of the westbound business is
merchandise of valuable machinery,
while nearly rs per cent of the east
bound business is grain, which is car
ried in q car costing $3.50, and the
property carried will average $500 per
car, so that the entire train of twenty
five cars. engine included, are not worth
over $34, 900 to $4,000, while frequent
ly one car load of merchandise coming
west will represent that value, and these
palaces on wheels, carrying thousands
of passengers and thousands Of freight
cars carrying millions of valuable prop
perty, are dependent for safety upon
one mantle engineer. There are
other men--the conductor, baggage
master, fireman and three or four brake
men--but the hand upon the lever and
the brain directing it have an immense
responsibility. - Wtstchester (M ~ w.

mottled cows-grazing contentedly
from dawn until near noon when they
all take their accustomed trail and
seek the water with unerring certain
ty, is study Of more interest than
might be imagined. One may meet
engaged in this occupation, OF sitting
in the doorways OF hotels here in the
evenings, surrounded by "honest
miners" IN over.alls, gentlemen &C
customed to the resources and habits
of the most refined civilization. No
ones felt hats have broader brims,
no ones flannel shirts are rustier,
and no ones boots more thoroughly
covered with ad66e dust and every
one will tell you he is as happy as a
king. 1t may occur to more than one
young man, conscious Of the draw
backs of a business life in our cities,
with its fierce competition and un-
avoidable risks, that life on the plains
might give him ample occupation,
comfortable gains and sound mind
and body. And another class to
whom this life might appeal with
great force, comprise those unfortu-
mates who seek AIKEN and Florida
every winter and "come home with
the strawberres" in the spring.
One of the most exciting events on
the ranch is the 'round up" which
occurs in June aud July and Septem
Der each year. During the year the
herds intermingle and stray from
ranch to ranch, and at certain seasons
they must be collected and separated.
They are distinguished by brands
which are conclusive and universally
accepted evidence of ownership.
For each district master or director
of the Ground up" is chosen WHOSE.
orders implicitly obeyed by the force
of from 20 to so men furnished by
the ranch owners according to their
holdings. They have two or three
horses apiece, with cooks, etc, and
starting from given point take a
regular course, camping out at night.
They thus sweep the range with the
skill coming from long practice and
gather the cattle together, when they
are separated by the brands. To
witness this process and the exploits
of the skillful drivers, whose trained
horses "turn on five cent piece,
is most interesting sight. There are
some sheep about here, but sheep
herding has been mostly driven
further south by the antagonism be.

A PAPER BELOVED AND WARMLY
SUPPORTED BY THE PEOPLE
OF MICHIGAN FOR OVER
FORTY YEARS.
The Weekly Edition Reduced
to 800 Per Year.

THE DETROIT POST & TRIBUNE
has an established reputation as one of the
leading newspapers in the great Northwest,
and is the foremost exponent of Republican
principles in Michigan. During the coming
year no effort will be spared to maintain its
proud pre-eminence.
The news department of the Post & Trib.
bune will be especially full and complete. Its
large force of State correspondents, its special
representatives in New York, Washington
and other news centers of the country, and its
large and well organized force in the home
office, leave it without rival in Michigan in
its facilities for gathering and presenting the
news of the day, whether local, State or
national
by the railroad construction of the past two
years the different sections Of Michigan have
become more closely linked together in inter.
est than ever before, and wonderful impetus
has been given to the growth and prosperity
of the state. 1t will be the aim OF The Post
q Tribune to record all the signs of progress
given IN the future, and to furnish full and
timely information of all immigration and in
dustrial movements, and of all material pro-
gress made in every portion of the state.
The editorial page of the paper will keep
abreast of the events of the day, and will dis
cuss with candor and with the best informa.
ton that can be obtained from every available
source, all issues suggested by current events.
1t will support zealously the principles of the
Republican party, and will aid to the utmost
OF its ability in securing pure, honest and
economical administration of public affairs.
Its commercial reports have been recently
extended and will be kept full and accurate.
These alone are worth more than the cost of
the paper to every merchant, manufacturer
and farmer in the state.
In its miscellaneous department it will fur
nish the choicest of reading matter, both in
prose and verse, original and selected. 1t
will be kept pure in character, elevated in
tone and in sympathy with the best moral
sentiment in the community.
For the rural and village community The
Weekly Post and Tribune is especially valu
able: The Letter Box furnishes in the course
OF the year vast amount of valuable infor-
nation on great variety of topics. The
Hearth and Hall furnishes an admirable
medium for exchanging views on home sub
jects, The Agricultural Department and
Farmers Letter Box, which have recently
been enlarged in their scope, are invaluable
to all tilers of the soil. In short, no effort or
expense will be spared IN making The Post
and Tribune the most attractive, best arranged
and most complete FAMILY NEWSPAPER ever
published in Michigan, a state, the sterling
worth of whose people it admires and in
whose progress and prosperity it has shared.

About Advert1sings

There was large amount of talk in the
 Board of Councilmen last evening which
 arose from the fact that certain paper re-
 gently started in this city desired patronage in this line. A great deal of discussion fol lowed in the Board in regard to the matter, which finally eliminated in Councilman Cushing offering resolution that hereafter the city advertising should be given to only two papers, one morning and ono evening paper, and that the same should be given out by contract. This was referred to the com mittee ordinances. After the Council ad- journed there was considerable loud talk in the lobby, in which expressions of dissatis- faction were freely expressed. One Council man said that in his opinion the whole thing was instigated in the interest of a certain paper.
 Then a reporter of one of the morning papers took a hand in the fight and plainly told the gentlemen of the Council that the papers did not average one dollar column for the advertisements they received from the city, when the free advertising in the matter of reports of various city meetings was con- sidered. which was of much more importance to the public at large than all the advertise ments paid for, and which reports in many other cities were paid for advertising. This seemed to be 8 ''settler' to the adyo cates of penurious advertising, and the ''out-
 side" convention adjourned. When the tax payers demand that the business of the city
 shall be curtailed by advertising in one or
 two papers so that only small portion of
 them shall know what is going on, then it
 will be time for such foolish resolution as
 was presented last evening.
