The Grant & ward Failure.

newal OF the excitement about Grant Wards
failure in Wall street this morning. the extent Of
as they have been exposed by the press, being the
stimulating influences. The feeling against Mr.
Ward does not lessen. AS one old Wall street man
expressed It, ''NO matter what explanation he
gives now, everybody believes him guilty OF gross
irregularities and probably will continue to do So"
Up to twelve O'Clock no new facts transpired. At
the Office of the Erie railway no information could
be obtained about the appointment OF a committee
by President Jewett to supervise the complications
growing out OF Grant & Wards failure though 1t
viii probably be appointed to-day. 1t was thought
that Bank Examiner Serbia will finish his

A Farmers Private Railroad Station.

eve made singular discovery the
other day." remarked an official of a
road running into Chicago. About
three miles beyond certain station on
our line there is a farm house by the
side of the track. Just beyond the
farm house is little creek, over which
there is a small bridge About four
years ago some repairs were made to that
little bridge, and, of course, the bridge
gang had put up signboard Run
Slow on either side during the day or so
the bridge was weakened. When they
had finished their work, they went off
and forgot the signs. The fact is, the
boards had disappeared, and they didn't
take the trouble to hunt them up.
"Some weeks afterward, no one knows
just when, those signs reappeared in their
former places, Nobody knew who put
them there or what for. Nobody cared.
If the section men noticed them at all
they thought the bridge men had done it.
1t was none of the engineers business
why they were there-it was their duty
to observe regulations, which required
them to slow down at all such signs.
Observe regulations they did. For about
four years not train had passed over
that little bridge without slowing al.
most to a standstill The culvert, for
that's all it is, has been as safe as any
part of the roadbed, and yet stopping
and starting trains there has cost this com
pany thousands of dollars. You know
it costs money to stop and start trains.
"You are wondering how it all come.
about, of course. Well, that farmer
stole those boards and put them ur
again at his leisure. For four years hi
has been going into the town or coming
from it on our trains, getting on or off right
at his own door. 1t was slick scheme
and how he must have laughed at us and
enjoyed it all the while. But his game
is up now, and the engineers are having
their revenge by keeping up an inferno
screeching of their whistles at all hours
of the day or night whenever they pas

How Much Sleep.

The only rule is, take enough. Old
Mother Means in Eggleston's " IIoosier
Schoolmaster' advised her husband when
buying cheap land, while yer a-gcttin',
get plenty" So say we in regard to
sleep, full quantity of which is more
valuable than the grandest prairie farms
the sun ever shone upon.
1t is during the wakeful hours that
the muscles and the nervous system and
brain expend their energies. Muscles
are partially recruited during the day by
nourishment taken, but the greatest re-
cuperating work of the nerves and brain
is done during sleep. Such recuperation
must at least equal the expenditure made
through the day, or else the brain is ill
nourished, wastes, withers. Persons who
in early English history, were condemned
to death by being prevented from sleep
ing, always died raving maniacs Per-
sons who are starved to death suffer
brain starvation also, and pass into halu-
cinations and then into insanity. Health

There is no rule for beauty; this en-
ables every man to have little better
looking wife than any of his neighbors.
| don't expect to please everybody. l

When the devil turns moralist look
out for breakers; no one can tell where
he is going to hit next; he can't even
tell himself
The world is all agog just now; every
body wants to talk, and nobody wants
to listen-the fool-killer will be around
soon, and put stop to these things.

knowing so much that amt so.
Jokes weren't made to cast before
swine, any more than pearls we're; and
the man who can make them shouldn't
throw them around too loose.
The man who can, in few words, tel

Curious Land Sinks.

Those curious depressions of the soil
known as sinks, Florida letter says,
have attracted the attention of scientific
men and form one of the features of
the country to visitors. Timid people
are afraid of them, but do not see any
difference between them and the natural
depressions one meets with in all wooded
counties. Sometimes an acre will com
mence to sink toward the center and
year after year the depth increases until
it reaches its lowest point and stands
still. Some of these places are wonder
fully beautiful, being covered with a
luxuriant underground of bush vegeta-
ton, shaded by immense trees
garlanded with grapevines and
jasmine, and charmingly draped
with the beautiful moss of this coun-
try, with perhaps at the base pool of
clear water These bosky shades are
much frequented by cattle and they en-
nance by the attractions of life and motion
picture that any artist might be proud
to add to his collection. Sometimes the
central part really does fall out of sight,
leaving a hole whose depth may be i'm
agined, but out of such assures / have
seen oak trees growing of large girth
proving that they do not really go
through to China.

The Best Medicine.

Speaking generally it is not to the labo-
ratory of the chemist that we should go
for our potash salts, but to the laborato-
ry of nature, and more especially to that
of the vegetable kingdom. They exist
in the green parts of all vegetables. This
is illustrated by the manufacture of com
mercial potash from the ashes of the
twigs and leaves of timber trees. The
more succulent the vegetable the greater
the quantity of potash it contains, though
there are some minor exceptions to this
AS have already stated, we extract and
waste considerable proportion of these
salts when we boil vegetables and throw
away the potage, which our wiser and
more thrifty neighbors add to their every
day menu. When we eat raw vegetables,
as in salads, we obtain all their potash.
Fruits generally contain important
quantities of potash salts, and it is upon
these especially that the possible victims
of hthic acid should rely. Lemons and
grapes contain them most abundantly
Those who cannot afford to buy these as
articles of daily food may use cream of
tartar, which, when genuine, is the
natural salt of the grape. Popular Sci
