Head Foremost vs.. Feet Foremost.

There has been some discussion as
to whether one lying in slceping-car
should place his feet toward the loco
motive or the reverse. One man (writ-
ing to a medical journaD who travelled
about $4,000 miles year with his back
to the locomotive became extremely
i'll with a nervous affection, and got
well after he had given up the habit.
His doctor believes thai persons who
travel much by rail should take all
sorts of positions. A German physi-
clan, Dr. Outten, says that if person
lies with his feet toward the engine the
movement of the car tends to draw the
blood from the brain to the feet, cere-
bral anemia is produced and then
sleep. But if he lies with his head
nearer the locomotive Gas is the GUS
tom in Germany, there is produced q
cerebral hyperamia, incompatible with
sweet repose. Dr. Mcbride, of the
Milwaukee Insane Asylum, advises ex-
actly the reverse. He holds that with
the feet toward the engine the blood
tends to the head. In the starting of a
train momentum is first given to the
car. Bodies in the car resist for mo-
ment, and then acquire the same mo-
mentum. But on the least increase of
speed they offer resistance-they are
not disposed to go as fast as the car.
A round marble placed on a board will
roll back when the board is moved
rapidly, and he thinks it reasonable TO
suppose that in human body the
blood constantly offers resistance to
the motion of the train. Therefore,
with the feet to the engine, the blood
will seek the brain. For this reason
DIR. Mcbride urges sleeping with the
head toward the engine.

How a Buxom Widow Got Married

A widow, young, good-looking, and
lively, had man. admirers. but she
was so impartial that when, just about
q year from her husbands death, she
gave public invitations to her wedding,
nobody could tell whether the favorite
one was certain widower, q bachelor,
or one of two young men. and, to keep
the secret, she declared she would be
married in barn of hers In the dark.
The minister, too, entered into the. spir-
it of the affair, and to mystfy the peo-
pie still more, the bride entered the
barn alone at one door and the groom
at another There were ut least 200
present. The ceremony proceeded in
darkness, and at its close the crowd
broke for the bride, and carried her
home in triumph in chair. But here
began the trouble, the widower, the
bachelor, and the two young men each
swore that he had held the widow
plump hand and was married to her;
the crowd could not decide, the minis
ter didn't know, and tho widow was
puzzled, for all claimed to be engaged
to her, and though the widower was
her choice he might have been jolted
aside; indeed he acknowledged that
somebody tried 10 choke him in the
dark. The four men fought, but that
didn't settle it. The guests ducked
two of them in the brook, but still no
light. Finally the widowcr compromis-
ed with the others by giving them f10O
eaeh, and reigned as her lord. The
affair has never been explained. One
Of the young men Is married. but still
declares that he was married TO Widow
DodsVorth in the big barn. The other
also protests that he is her lawful hus-
band. The bachelor is dead, but main
tanned to the end, II married her
