Attitude of the Comuanv.

CHICAGO, March 17.-Vice president Smith.
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
Company, when interviewed by an Associated
Press representative in reference to a report
from Washington that their road had refused to
handle the United States mail-cars. unless the
striking engineers would haul their passenger
also. stated that their contract with the
United States government provided that they
should carry the mail on their passenger trains,
and that was the position now held by them.
Vice-president Smith said this morning in rela-
ton to the agreement the part OF his road
not to handle Burlington freight: when the
strike broke ont on the Burlington we did make
a verbal agreement with the engineers that they
shorld not be asked TO move Burlington cars, at

The Germs of Consumntion.

DR.. Brown Sequard, who has been
preaching that bad ventilation of sleeping
rooms and poor and monotonous food are
the great causes of pithisis, treated of
that disease at the last meeting of the
Academy of Sciences, in Paris, taking
many of his examples from England.
Wherever population is dense, and sleep
ing rooms ill aired or overcrowded, con-
sumption prevails. DR.. Bailey reported
that in Milbank prison there were, out of
100 deaths, forty-five from this disease.
According to the illustrious French
doctor, a room in which a constmptive
person sleeps is reeking with contagious
germs if the air he exhales is not carried
off But how get rid of it in i'll built
houses or very cold weather, when it il
as dangerous to open windows as to keep
them shut?
To meet this difficulty DR.. Brown Sc
guard showed the academy an apparatus
of his invention. A reversed funnel, the
shape of lamp shade, is placed at the
end of tube, so arranged in its curves
and angles that when it is placed beside
bed the reversed funnel will be above
the sleeper, and draw up the air he
breathes. The other end runs into the
chimney of the room. If there is none
it is taken through a heating apparatus
to an air hole. The heat is great enough
to burn the disease germs London

In all that has been written about the
uses to which the forthcoming Edison
practical phonograph, nothing has been
said of the facilities it will give people
who can neither read nor write for cor
respondence. Indeed, there is no doubt
but there will be an immense demand on
the wonderful powers of the instrument
from this class. The instruments into
which books have been read will also
repeat them to the blind, and those thus
afflicted can have the choicest treasures
of the libraries of the world at their
service day or night.
The invalid, too, whose friends are
away or busy or asleep, can have his
faithful reader always at command. But
all these things are not pertinent to this
railway world" The thought that sug-
gested the paragraph is this: What a
valuable thing a phonograph would be on
| a rapidly moving train during long
| journey. 1t is hard on the eyes of many
to read in travelling, or at night the light
| is insufficient or the car is darkened for
| sleeping. The restless passenger may
have his faithful phonograph in his berth,
| and with the earphone adjusted can listen
| to its sweet voice at will, without dis
| turbing anybody. Then, too, all know
the difficulty of writing ON train. This

SOUND BUSINESS MAxlMS.

Action is really the life of business.
Use every means to hold on to your
home trade.
Always keep your designs and business
from the knowledge of others.
Great bargains can only be secuted in
any market by being on the spot.
1t is easy to sell goods if they are well
suited to your trade and bought right.
Avoid litigation as much as possible,
for lawyers and costs eat up the principal
Have the courage to discharge a debt
while you have the money in your pocket.
The man who borrows money and
then borrows trouble is in sheol sure
enough.
Prefer small profits and certain re-
turns to large profits and uncertain SEN
timents.
Difficulties, like thieves, often disap-
pear at a glance; therefore always face
difficulty.
Punctuality in money matters leads to
prosperity and confidence and the basis
of credit
In buying, study carefully the wants
| of your trade and buy with that end al
ways in view.
The man who minds his own business
and constantly attends to it has all his
time employed.
Come to this market as often as pos
sible, so as to secure special bargains as
they are offered
Adhere strictly to your business.
There may be difficulties to overcome
but you will surmount them.
Thousands of merchants fail not from
the shrinkage of values, but from credit
ing unwisely and too much.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and
obliging to all your customers, and see
that your clerks do likewise.
Have the courage to accept small
profits and be content; large ones involve
more risk and less certainty of continu-
ing.
There are two sorts of people that gain
little by trade, such as buy what they do
not want and such as sell only in neces-
sity.
Success secures the appreciation of the
world, for, as the wise man says, "Men
will praise thee when thou doest well for
thyself"
Study the history of current events
make careful comparisons of the f1uctua-
tons in price, in demand and in supply,
in order to guide your own operations by
the lessons these facts impart.
Misrepresentation of anything never
pays, and when you tell your customers
that your goods are superior to those OF
your competitors, when you know the
same to be false, you are simply putting
In the wedge that will ultimately drive
your trade away.
Remember that the golden rule of com.
mercial life is probity. Act, therefore
honestly, uprighty and conscientiously
in all matters of trade. Never misrepre
sent, falsify or deceive; have one rule Of
moral life and never swerve from it
whatever may be the acts or opinions o.
other men.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

Iron Instead of Wood

Itappears that special attention is being
paid in France and England to more
general substitution of iron and steel for
wood, wherever practicable, in manu-
factured articles, such, for instance, as
building materials, boxes and packing
cases, barrels or casks, carriages, carts
and other vehicles, furniture, fencing,
railway work, sheds, signal boxes, tele-
graph poles, etc. In France there have
recently come into use hollow iron
window frames and doors, which are
said to be light and strong, and of far
greater durability than could ever be
assumed of wood. There is no reason,
too, it is thought, why corrugated barrels
of iron or steel should not be used for
liquors, since milk and preserved fruits
and other articles are kept in cans. Steel
is finding much favor among carriage
builders, but there is still much prejudice
against the metal being used in the manu-
facture of furniture The general adop-
ton of steel sleepers is warmly advo-
Gated by some, as is also the employ
ment of iron and steel in the construc-
ton of railway cars, and the erection OF
wooden sheds, signal boxes, etc., by
railway companies as at present, might,
it is urged, be profitably and economically
substituted with steel.-New York Sun.

SAVINGS of the Chinese. .

The Chinese in California do not de-
posit their savings in our banks, but
leave their surplus earnings with some
storekeeper for safety until they are
ready to send the money TO China. The
storekeeper does not pay the depositor
any interest; on the contrary, he charges
him a small sum for taking care of the
money. The result is some of the prin-
cipal merchants in San Francisco have a
large amount of money in their hands
all the time. Thedanger of being robbed
is very slight, as all the employees and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night, but what
some one is awake and moving about.
The money is generally kept in fire
proof safe or vault.-San Francisco Cor.

Beautiful Japanese Screens.

For at least two centuries japanese
screens have had a European fame.
Evelyn mentions room in the house of
Mr.. Bohun, st Lee, which was wainscoted
with Japan screens-of lacquer bien
entendu-of which the famous vernis
Martin was an imitation. Screens of
japanese lacquer are now curiosities of
price; but still the Land of the Rising
Sun sends us great variety of beautiful
screens in materials more easily perish
able. Some of the newest importations
are delightful. They consist of two or
more folds, and the panels are filled with
silk or satin, embroidered in gold and
colors.
Here again birds and flowers form the
chief motives of decoration; but one
screen of unusual size which have seen
is embroidered with a landscape, with
trees in the foreground populous with
monkeys in grotesque attitudes. Some
particularly rich and handsome screens
are of brocade, painted; while others are
covered with hundreds of native photo
graphs, very various and entertaining.
A great golden dragon embroidered upon
q blaeRs x scresn.is stsrtlingly effective.
More costly screens of semi -barbaric cast
are of black wood with carved vases, the
upper portion inlaid with ivory and
mother of pearl. But for an apartment
of ordinary Ihodesty there is nothing
more effective than plain screen OF
black silk or satin, embroidered with
birds of gorgeous plumage, their wings
wide outstretched. World.
