The indications are that during
the year 1886 the work of building
new railroad lines will exhibit great
activity. In the Southern Slater,
east of the Mississippi river, lis
new lines have been projected. The
great Northwest is wide awake to
the necessity of more railroads, and
more are to be built. The estimate
is that at least 10000 miles will be
completed within a year.

Tired and Lan.uid Women.

How many women there are of whom these
words are true: ''They feel languid and tired,
hardly able to bear their weight on their feet,
the bloom all gone from their cheeks, irratable
and cross without meaning to be, nerves all
upset, worried with the children, frettcd over
little things, a burden to themselves, and yet
with no acute disease" What a pity it is
But a few bottles of Parker Tonic will drive
all this away, and relieve the troubles peculiar
to their sex. [decl7-lm

De Longs Time-Pieces.

Lieut. Greely, since his return home,
says a Washington dispatch to the
Miitcaukee Sentinel, relates a number
of curious incidents connected with his
expedition during their two years resi-
dence in the Arctic regions. The most
singular of all, however, is a story told
to him by Mrs. De Long, few weeks
since, which she vouches for as being
true in every respect. According TO
her narrative, when Commander DE
Long started on his cruise toward the
north pole he gave to his wife to keep
for him valuable and highly-prized
watch. He also left with her small
nickel-plated clock. He enjoined her
to keep the watch wound up, adding,
jestingly, that that was something diff
cult for a woman to do for two years.
She continued to perform the duty most
carefully, but one day the watch sud-
denly stopped, as also did the clock,
and both on the same hour and minute.
An examination of the watch by jew
eler showed broken handspring, but
the clock was without injury. Nothing
was thought of the occurrence at the
time, though the anxiety of Mrs. De
Long had caused her to make note in
her diary of all the facts. The affair
vas almost forgotten as trivial cir
cumstance until the wife received the
journal of the brave dead husband. in
which he had noted on certain date
that his watch and the ships chronO-
meter had stopped, both at the same
time, and by comparison of days and
nj. 30 = haf q
De Longs time-pieces. those in the
Arctic as well as those at home, had
been in perfect sympathy; all had
ceased to tick on the same day, at tho
same hour, and the same minute.

Fighting Sleep with Tea.

The practice of taking tea or coffee
by students, in order to work at night,
is downright madness, especially when
preparing for an examination. More
than half of the cases of breakdown,
loss of memory, fainting, etc, which
occur during severe examinations, and
far more frequently than is commonly
known, are due to this.
l frequently hear of promising stu
dents who have thus failed; and, on in
ouiry, have learned--in almost every
instance-that the victim has previous
ly drugged himself with tea or coffee.
Sleep is the rest of the brain; TO rob the
hard-worked brain of its necessary rest
is cerebral suicide.
Nv old friend. the late Thomas Wright,
was q victim of this terrible folly. He
undertook the translation of the Life
of Julius Cesar" by Napoleon III. and
to do it in a cruelty short time. He full
filed his contract by sitting up several
nights successfully by the aid of strong
tea or coffee q forgot which). saw
him shortly afterward. In a few weeks
he had aged alarmingly, and become
quite bald, his brain gave way and nev-
er recovered. There was but little diff
ference between his age and mine, and
but for this dreadful cerebral strain,
rendered possible only by the alkaloid
(for otherwise he would have fallen 10
sleep over his work and thereby saved
his 1ife), he might still be amusing and

volumes Of popularized archaeological

A story OF Christmas dinner comes to us
rather late, but nevertheless it is a good one.
A party of married gentlemen and ladies
that is, we think they were married-were
seated around the testal board, enjoying the
delicacies and lu1uries usually attending a
Christmas dinner. The turkey had
been carved, and one of the gentle
men was fortunate enough to get
the breast bone. After he had masticated
this tender morsel . number OF the guests no
ticed that he was busily engaged in thought.
He was not disturbed, but finally. picking up
the breast bone and holding it out, he said ;
THAT was hen turkey" This remark Al
tracteG the attention of the guests, and one
of them inquired how he knew it WAS hen.
because" replied he, the breast bone is
crooked, showing that the hen wore her cor
set too tight"

Urbana Camp Meeting Directors

The following from the Urbana Daily Git
izen OF Tuesday is of special interest TO stock
holders in the association in Springfield and
Clark county:
The annual election for directors OF the
Urbana Camp Meeting Association, was held
at the Office of E. B. Patrick yesterday after
noon. The election resulted in the selection
OF the following directors: S. W. Hit, John
Kenaga, B. O'Neal, A. B. Ruuyan, J. W.
Deerdorff, Noble Osborn, W. R. Pool, w.
Witbrow, R. D. Williams, Thomas Sharp and
f. b. Patrick. The board was then organized
by the election of E. B. Patrick, President
John W. Kenaga, Vice President Il. N
Crow, Secretary; B. O'Neal, Treasurer.
The Treasurer made a report, showing q
balance on hand of S9s. The only der. oi
the association now is a note of 5000 on the
tabernacle, which leaves the organization in g
fine financial condition. There are several
improvements talked of for next year which
will add convenience TO the ground. Another
bridge across the rsvine at the upper part Of
the ground will be built, and g well at the
upper part of the ground for the convenience
of the tenters in that locality will also bs
added. Rev. A. N. Spahr was again chosen
TO take the control OF the devotional part Oi
the meeting.

be preserved and brought before the Central
Ohio ECLECTIC Medical Association, at the ses-
sion here January II. when there will be a
full investigation and report by the society.
Before leaving for home last night Mr..
Sweeney, the father-in-law, was given an op-
portuniiy of making a microscopical exami-
nation for himself, satisfying him that the
organ was diseased in manner
to affect the mind Of the deceased
while alive. He accordingly left, feeling
much better in his own mind, and will make
the situation much lighter for the wife and
child Mr.. Sweeney gave DR.. Barry, who at
tended the family, and TO whom he felt under
obligations, exclusive permission 10 remove
the brain, and the latter did SO, with assist
ance of others. The body will probably bs
buried now, as no permission for its dissection
was given. Only DIR. Barry and one or two
others know its present whereabouts.

In Norway.

We found ourselves anchored in .
land-locked bay which will call for
convenience sake Bruysdal. There are
fifty Bruysdals in Norway, and this is
not one Of them. That is all which !
need say. 1t forms the head of deep
inlet we'll stocked with dabs and had
dock, and whiting, and wolf-fish, and
other monsters. The landscape is at
once grand and gentle; mighty snow
capped mountains cleft into gorges SO
deep and dark that the sun, save in the
height of summer, can never look into
them, while on the immediate shores
rich meadow-land and grassy undulat-
ing hills stretch along the ford for
miles, and from the estate of pros
porous bonder, who rules paternally
over his mountain valley, river runs
in near our anchorage, which, after
leaving lake half mile from the sea,
winds down with an everfowing stream
through heathery pine-clad slopes and
grassy lands covered with wild roses
and bilberries.
The cuckoos were calling in the
woods as we came up, widgeon and
wild duck were teaching their young
broods to take care of themselves; oys-
ter-catchers flew to and fro-they have
no fear of men in place where no one
cares to hurt them. Boats with tim
ber were passing down the river to q
saw-mil opposite the mouth. The lake
out of which it flows is two miles long,
and ends in q solitary glen, closed in
by precipices at the head and on eisher
side. There was beauty here and grand
eur, food of all kinds, from mutton to
bilberries, now ripe and as large as
grapes. Above all, we knew by past
experience that sea-trout swarmed in
the lake and trout in the river. The
bonder's acquaintance we had made
before, and the old man, learning from
the pilot who we were, came on board at
once with his son and the schoolmaster
to paw his respects. He himself was
hale and stout, age perhaps 60, with
dark hair, which as yet had no gray
streaks in it; in manner very much OF
a gentleman doing the honors of his
country and his dominions with rough
dignity.
His lake, his river, all that he had,
he gave us free use of. The fish had
not come up in any number yet. but
perhaps there might be some. He &C
cepted glass of wine, being temper
ate, but not severely abstemious. The
younger ones touched nothing of that
kind-to-tallers they called themselves.
They were two tine-looking men, but
without the fathers geniality, and with
a slight tinge of self-righteousness.
The interest of the moment was bear
which they had just killed among them,
having caught him committing murder
among the sheep. As the tlocks in
crease the bears multiply along with
them, and the shooting of one is an
event to be made much of. This par
ticular offenders head came home with
US, swinging in the rigging, and looked
so savage, grinning there, as much to
reduce the pleasure of the crew in 60
ing ashore among the bilberries.-

Last night a deed YVES committed, which
for genuine deviltry, cannot well be e1celled.
George Fields, the foreman at the Lagonda
street-car stables, had occasion last evening
to drive one of the cars himself. As be
was returning to Lagonda, a man
jumped on the car at Spring street and sat
down. When the car reached Lagonds ave-
nue. the fellow walked to the forward end OF
the car and, opening the door, poured the
contents of bottle of vitriol on Fields
clothing He then ran to the rear end and,
jumping of, escaped in the darkness. When
Fields reached the stable, he examined his
coat and found that it was almost entirely
burned of him. 1t is not known, of course,
who the bastard was who committed the
deed, but it is supposed to have been fellow
that Fields discharged some time ago.
