the opposite side, until the load has gradually
exhaus ted its momentum, and they come to
a walk and take up the slack of the traces
just in time to keep the load in motion over
the crown of The hill. Sometimes, too, it is
amusing to see a "mossback," that
is a farm team and teamster, new to the
busine s. come down that hill with load.
The first time they generally get stuck.
Then they will watch camper do it, and
their success will depend on their power Of
imitation. The camp teamster is not noisy
to his team, save when it gets into "a tight
place." and then he bursts his mouth over
it like a ttunderclap. Occasionally team
fails to do all that is expected of it, and then
the teamstor gets angry, and abuses the al

Many a man has lost his life by an acci-

Going to be @ Cow boy.

Last night 4 young man named Charles F.
Sebastian, but who has been known for years
as Charles Mitsch, having been adopted by
George Mitsch many years ago, got on drunk
and took possession of the corner OF Market
and Main streets, and defed any policeman to
arrest HIM. Officer Condron happened
to come along, and, seeing the
fellows condition paced him under
arrest, and he went to the station
house without much resistance. When
searched there regular cowboys outfit was
found upon him. 1t consisted Of belt, two
large revolvers, a dirk, and a bowie-knife
about twelve inches long. When this was
found Sebastian was removed to Jail on the
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. II is said by some that
he is not in his right mind. He recently re-
turned from Texas, where he says he was q
cowboy, and had made up his mind to 60
back again. His trip, however, was sudden
ly prevented by his arrest. Sebastian is one
of large number of children brought 10 this
State from New York about fifteen years ago
from the Children's Home, and out Of the
number nearly every one has turned out
badly.

Plants in SleeDfnR-ROOu,s.
fChicago Times,

Chicago Times.l
The controversy as to keeping live plants
in a room at night continues to be carried on
with vigor and acrmony, although most
people have probably supposed that it was
long since set at rest Not so very many
years ago the danger Of keeping such things
in a bedroom was a good deal pooh-poohed
by practical persons, who regarded the
stories told in that connection as old women's
tales, belonging to the same category as the
myth about sleeping under the moon or
taking siesta under a yew tree. But then
there were published terrible accounts of
fair DANES who. despising the warning in
question, and depositing bouquets or flower
pots in their rooms ut night, had met with
fate almost as tragic as that recorded in
the doleful ballad of THE Mistletoe Bough."
Thereupon the scientific world, with the
whole crew Of unlearned folk at its heels,
rushed to the opposite conclusion, and
adopted theory that illness and even death
might result from sleeping in an apartment
which was adorned with living plants or
fresh cuttings. And now it turns out that in
going so far as this we have gone good
deal too far. At a medical conference re-
Gently held in France, it was demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all the savants there
present that plants, as long as they are
plants only, may safely, and even with ad-
vantage, be admitted to the asylum from
which they have SO often been exilei.
These pretty ornaments, as a learned
writer now declares, "far from being hurt
full. are beneficial, inasmuch as they exhale
q certain amount of ozone and vapor, which
maintain healthy dampness in the air, and
besides that are destructive of the microbes
which promote consumptive tendencies in
human beings 1t is only flowers, and not
the plants which bear them that do the
damage. Ferns are inocuous; roses and sun
flowers are pernicious-at least during the
interesting period while they are in bloom"

Termioal Facilities in Washington. d. C.
chow to Get In and How to Get OUT
Of a Hole.
In order that persons who are not familiar
with Washington City, may not be deceived
by the misleading and unreliable statements,
made by railroad company that is striving
by false pretense, 10 Givert travel which usu-
ally seeks better equipped and better man
aged lines, it is desirable that the readers of
this paper should be made aware Of the facts
in regard to the terminal facilities of the rail-
roads entering Washington City.
The station Of the Pennsylvania railroad
is the only frst-class station in the city; it is
located on Pennsylvania avenue, in the
centre Of the town in close proximity to all
the leading hotels, and within two minutes
walk Of the Capitol building. The sutton
used by the other line reaching Washington
from the West, is q second-class building,
located in hollow, on back street, and un-
less strangers arriving by that line take carri-
ages, they will encounter more or less diff
Guilty in reaching their places of abode.
No Railroad in America has a. good iacili-
ties as the Pennsylvania for taking care of q
large volume of passenger business. This
was established during the Centennial Exposi-
ton in 1876. and all intelligent people know
that the PENNSYLVANIA, through her superior
ify in construction, equipment and manage
ment. still holds Ler proud position as the
leading Railroad of the world.

Drs. Hengst, Patterson and Kennen per-
formed very difficult surgical operation last
night on John Marsh, who lives on Winter
street. He has been suffering for some time
with heart troubles, and the physicians, after
examining the case, came to the conclusion
that his disease was pericarditis. The per;c-
ardium, or outer covering of the heart, had
become filled with water, and caused terrible
pains. The operation consisted of inserting
an instrument known as an aspirator, into the
pericardic sac and drawing the water out. He
stood the operation well, and was much re-
lieved BY its results.
