OPEN CAR WINDOWS.
The DiscOmfOrts of Travelling Amid
Dust and Cinders.

II is uncomfortable travelling in the swell
tering heat, anyway, but doubly so Wheel,
through every open window, the smoke,
heat and cinders are pouring in. Old trav-
ellers realize this and keep their windows
closed, for they know that each car is well
provided with ventileiion from the top.
There is really no need OF an open window,
and no open window In dusty, hot weather
can add to ones comfort. But people who
travel little do not realize this. They feel
hot and stifed and up goes the window.
The wind at first feels grateful, but soon
the clothing, face, neck and hands are filed
full of dust and the eyes Of cinders. But it
is not SO much the one who opens the win
dow who suffers as those who sit seat or
two behind. They are the ones who get the
benefit of all the SCOT and dust Courteous
persons will think much of the comfort and
discomfort which they occasion others.
We wish every traveller would make 1t
his or her golden rule to heed the injunc-
ton. Would that coaches might be invented
with windows to raise when the train is
standing still, and to shut down in spite of
everything when the train is in motion. We
have suffered more discomfort from the
thoughtlessness of inexperienced travellers,
or the recklessness of others just seat or
two ahead Of us, than from any other thing
connected with railroad travel. The popu-
larity Of parlor cars is chiefly attributable to
the fact that in them the windows are gener-
ally kept closed. Persons of means prefer
to pay the extra fare to be rid Of the I'M
necessary smoke and dust of the common
coaches. It seems impossible to regulate
the thing. We have often watched it. The
conductors and brakemen may close every
window and explain the reason, but when
the next station is reached in will come
ZONE excited woman or verdant man, about
10 travel ten miles, who will hoist window
almost before taking seat. You may feel
provoked and look daggers at the offender,
but it does no good The innocent minded
person has done nothing but raised win
dow, and can't suspect that you have taken
umbrage az that. The only way is to pay
your money and take your choice Of parlor
coach, II there be one ON the train or silent
ly and good naturally as possible bear the
smoke and dust which fellow-passengers let
in upon you.

Many Combinations.

A Frenchman, who possesses more in
genuity than common sense, has invented a
lock which admits Of SCAT 1886 combina-
tons. That is to say, it requires about
that number of operations TO close and I'M
fasten it. A locksmith took four months to
unlock it. After this had been duly accom-
plished and the inventor was proudly ex
planning his work, the apparatus got out OF
order and they could neither shut nor open
it. The practical application of the inven-
ton is not exactly obvious to the ordinary
mind. 1t would scarcely do, for instance,
to fix lock of this nature to hall door.
The miserable individual who struggled
home late at night and had TO manipulate
his latch key matter of three million times
before he could obtain access to his DOM
icle would, we fear, prefer TO lay his weary
head on the steps to attempting to effect an
entrance. Attached to ones cupboard in
lodgings it might, however, prevent that
mysterious animal, 1.-THE cat,' from con-
suming sugar, tea, whiskey, tobacco and
other commodities which under present
circumstances are devoured in extraordi-
nary quantities by the voracious monster.

He must bow and scrape like jackanape,
And submit to sharp dctation.
From the selfish host that OF caste may boast
Who win strive to make him waver
With aecursd delight, they will SCOTS incite,

Some Facts Concerning These Most
VcnOmOus Scrpents.

Some Facts Concerning These Most
venOmous scrpents.
An English officer who has served in
India says m that Englishman may pass
considerable time in India without coming
across one of these venomous reptiles.
Cobras, however, are met with quite often
enough, and sometimes in very curious and
uncomfortable places. For instance, II
young lady who had just returned from
ball in small station in Southern India
noticed as she was on the point of getting
Into bed that the pillow looked disarranged,
and ON taking it up to smooth it out she
discovered cobra coiled up underneath IL.
She called out for assistance, and her father,
coming to the rescue, speedily despatched
the obnoxious intruder with q stick. ]
happened to mention this circumstance tc
an officer one day, and he informed me that
the very same thing had happened to him
self soon after his first arrivalIin this coun-
try, and that in consequence he never got
into bed until he had examined the pill
lows.
In the year 1873, while quartered at
Bellary, ON going into the drawing room Of
the bungalow, which at that time / shared
with friend, discovered cobra cullcd
up on the sofa cushion. I hastened out of
the room TO fetch a stick but in doing so,
must, suppose, have made some noise,
as on returning the snake had disappeared.
A few evenings later, however, just as my
chum was leaving the house to go to
dinner, he called out to me that there was
snake crawling up the steps of the veranda
in front of the drawing room. / ran out
with stick and succeeded in killing the
unwelcome visitor. 1t turned out to be a
fairly large cobra, and was in all probability
the one which had seen few days pre-
yiously ON the sofa. II is, however, in the
bathrooms of an Indian bungalow that CO.
bras, when met with within doors, are more
frequently encountered, as they come there
in the pursuit of the frogs which delight TO
take up their quarters there, for froggy Is
On article of diet to which the cobra is very
partial. An officer Of the Madras cavalry,
since deceased. told me that when quarter.
ed ut Arcot he one day observed in his bath
room, emerging from the waste water pipe,
the head of cobra which was holding in
its mouth frog. The pipe was too narrow
TO admit of the snakes Withdrawing his
head unless he released his victim. This,
however, from unwillingness to forego his
meal, he would not do, and in consequence
paid the penalty for his gluttony with his
life. Chambers journal.

After the battle of Gettysburg an Office,
In command of an infantry brigade made q
wager with a staff officer in the cavalry that
more than one-half the muskets captured
would be found to have one or more charges
still In them. This led to the discovery of
very singular fact. At that battle $4,000
muskets were taken, of which over $4,000
were found to be loaded. Some $4,000
contained two loads and 5000 had from
three to ten loads each. In many instances
half dozen balls were driven in on single
charge of powder, while in not few in.

influence of Hatred.

Hate keeps the heart always at full ten
sion. 1t gives rise to oppression of the
brain and senses. 1t confuses the whole man.
It robs the stomach Of its nervous power,
and digestion being impaired, the failure of
life begins at once. Those, therefore, who
are born with this passion, and it is to be
feared good many are, should give it up.
Christ said, Love one another" and this
command is full of hygienic wisdom.

People who thoughtlessiy sign
documents often put their proper
ty IN peril, and many men have
been Tulned by indoTsing for a
friend. How often have good
natured mems fortunes been d.
minlshed by obligations incurred
carelessly or without thought OF
consequences. During the rebel
lion the steamer Jesse was seized
because it was supposed she was a
blockade runner. The case was
delayed in courts for eighteen
years, a fact which is very discred-
liable to our lawyer rulers. In
the meantime all the parties de-
Tending the ownership of the YES
sci had disappeared. The only re.
sponsible person that could be
found was q young girl of seven
teen, whose father was on one of
the bonds. An obligation of
seventy thousand dollars had been
rolled up, which this young woman
will be forced to pay unless the
law somehow interferes to save
her. She will be ruined financial
ly, as that sum is greater than her
Inheritance. Here is q case in
which a person is punished who is
entirely innocent of any offence.
But the moral of this instance Is;
Don't put your name on bonds OF
notes, for it may iniure not only
yourself, but your innocent chill
dren.

WHO is Mrs. Winsow +?

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is lady for who up
wards of thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents as female physician and
nurse, principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as aresult of this
effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a
lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she
has compounded Soothing Syrup for chill
dren teething. 1t operates like magic-giv-
ing rest and health, and is moreover, sure to
regulate the bowels. In consequence of this
article, Mrs. WinaloW is becoming wOrld-re
nOwned as beefactor of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her; especially
is this the case in this city. Vast quantities
of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and
used here. We think Mrs. Winsiow has inns
mortalized her name by this valuable article,
and we sincerely believe thousands of chill
dren have been saved from an early grave
by its timely use, and that millions yet I'M
born will share its benefits, and unite in cal
ling her blessed No Mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she is given it the benefit OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it,

Why Not Grow More Grapes 0nFarm2

Why Not Grow More Grapes 0nFarm7
Scarcely year has passed since
/ have adopted the practice of
training grape vines on the peach,
-spple aud evergreen trees, that
here has not been an ample supply
of choice grapes tor home use. In
favorable seasons the surplus has
been taken at from three TO five
cents a pound, the demand often
exceeding the supply. By allow
ing the vines to run at will on the
peach, the red cedar, the Austrian
and Scotch pines, and apple trees
having wide spreading branches,
grapes can be had if healthy plants
OF the hardy sort are planted and
kepr well cultivated and properly
MANFRED for the first two or three
years artcr being planted.
The grape crop is by no means
an uncertain one. There is no
supplementary fruit ertp that can
take the place of the hardy varie-
ties OF grapes. Fifty vines can be
planted in vacant spots about the
house, garden and outbuildings
without occupying any coveted
space, but at the same time adding
very much to the rural beauty of
the country home. A strong young
vine planted close TO the trunk of
an old apple tree will, If the soil
about the roots is supplied with
finely pounded bones and fresh
wood ashes, and tho surface COW
cred with well-rotted manure after
planting of the vine is completed,
soon take possession of thai old
tree, and if the limbs are sawn off
at q point about ten feet from the
ground, and the young canes are
fastened to the limbs that remain,
an unsightly object will at once be-
come both ornamental and useful.
No wIne'need be or should be made
where children form a portion of
the household. There are plenty
of ways of utilizing this excellent
fruit without converting an ounce
of juice into wine.
