THE Bell Telephone Company has pub
lished its report for 1897 and the result is
described as Il Unsatisfactory condition OF
business" which it certainly is for the com
pany since it shows that it paid dividends
during the year OF 1866 per cent. OF the capi-
tai stock besides having Il surplus OF over
two million dollars. The decision OF the
Supreme Court Il week ago last Monday in
sures the monopoly OF telephone business
to the Bell Company until its patent cE-
pires, until when there is very small pros
pect of any Improvement on the invention.
The telephone has become al absolute No.
cessity in transacting business AL nrrr IT,.

Millions of Acres depending on II Re-
sui of i suit.

.AusnS, Tex, March 27.-The Attorney
General has instituted proceedings against
Galveston, Harrisburg Il San Antonio
Railway Company ard against the Texas
portion Of the Southern Pacific system to
recover forty sections OF eighty, claimed by
the company in Kinney county. The State
Constitution OF 1876 set aside one-half OF
the public domain for public school pur-
poses and the Legislature next year passed
a law requiring the locators Of certificates
to survey alternate sections Tor schools.
Under the act millions of acres have been
surveyed and sold. The Attorney General
insists hat this law is separate and dis
tinct from the constitutional provision,
and he contends that the State is entitled
to one-haIf Of all lands located under the
law in addition to the constitutional half.

A doctor says: There is no doubt
in my mind but that the belief that
human beings should sleep with their
bodies lying north and south, has its
foundation in TRUE scientific facts
Each human system has two magnetic
poles-one positive and one negative.
Now. it is true tina. some persons
have the positive pole in the head and
the negative pole in the feet. and vice
versa. In order that the person sleep
ing should be in perfect harmony with
the magnetic phenomena Of the earth.
the head. if it possesses the posi-.
tive pole. should lie TO the south.
or it the feet possess the posi-.
tive pole the head should lie
to the north. The positive pole
should ALWAYS lie opposite to the mag
netic center of the continent and thus
maintain a magnetic equilibrium
The positive pole of the person draws
one way. but the magnetic pole of the
earth draws the other way anil forces

wrong way. and fails to become mag

will then probably be too magnetic.
and he will have a fever resultin.
from the magnetic forces working toe
fast. or he will not be magnetic
enough, and tho great strain will
cause a feeling Of lassitude. sleep will
not be refreshing. and in the
