Down on Hot Drinks.

'I'm no doctor," says MT. Edgar Dartwell, "nor am one of those fellows who always have recipes for curing every ill that their acquaintances may have, but l know ono thing, and that is that hot drinks induce nervousness. I used to drink everything as hot as I could bear it, and could bear it at almost boil, too. l wanted my coffee and my tea as soon as it was brought from the stove, and when drank at a bar it was always hot toddy or sling or something fresh from the fire.
 "One day in Boston heard Chinese tea merchant say that in his country they drank their wines cold because hot wines made them nervous. Now, I was about as nervous man as you ever saw in those days. was almost hysterical at times. Well, thought good deal about what the Chinaman said, and the more I figured on it the more I was convinced there was something in it. So began to experiment with myself and soon found that, though I drank even more coffee and tea and stuff, when 1 drank it cool it didn't make me nervous, and when I drank it hot it did Pretty soon l quit all hot drinks and haven't had nervous spell for years.
 After had satisfied myself that was not as nervous when let hot drinks alone, wondered if my imagination didn't have something to do with it. To test this I told my wife, who was troubled with indigestion and was nervous person, too, that had heard hot drinks were bad for the digestion, and advised her to drink nothing hot She followed my advice, supposing it relatee only to her dyspepsia, and she got over her nervousness, though I don't think her diges- tion was any better. So, you see, imagina- tion didn't help her. I have had other of my friends try the same thing and every one of them has been benefited You don't get ony more hot drinks into me"-Chicago News.

Daniel Drawbaugh's Machine Will An.
 nounce the Approach of an Enemy.
 Daniel Drawbaugh, the supposed inventor of the telephone, and who is now at work on an invention by which the presence of largo bodies of men on land and ships on the ocean can be detected, lives about four miles from here and the other day a correspondent drove over to see him concerning his contemplated contrivance.
 It is an electrical machine, and Drawbauph claims that general with this new contriy- ance in his tent can tell by its peculiar mo- tion if the enemy is near and prepare to give him a warm reception. The commander of a war vessel can also tell the approach of any vessel, hostile or otherwise, the resist ance of the water on the approaching vessel causing sufficient friction to establish cur rent that will cause the indicator to sound the alarm.
 The instrument consists of what Mir. Drawbaugh calls microphone and regis tering dial. The microphone, an extremely sensitive combination of wire is placed in a hollow iron tube, which is dramatically sealed. The microphone, when it is to be used on land, is attached to an iron screw with very wide thread, by means of which it is sunk firmly into the earth. An insul- ated wire, which may be buried or run over tree tops as the emergency may necessitate. connects with galvanic battery and the registering dial, which may be placed miles away. The registering dial is sumounted by @ needle that works from the zero point. Underneath the dial in the small circular brass box that it covers is another needle in the form of walking beam, like those seen on sidewheel steamboats. When the yibrati ions of sound, either by the medium of earth, water or air waves, affect the sensitive microphone the needle beneath the dial i., at once caused to dip. The dipping puts one end of the steel into diminutive pot of nier- cury, and a new local current of eleclrl. ity is started, which moves the needle on the face of the dial and serves to give the alarm.
 The practical working of the instrlmen. $ intended to do away almost entirely with tn picket lines of an army. To give an Ill stance, commanding officer may sit i,, his tent supplied with a registering dial, and keep informed of the approach of Il large body of troops from any direction by proper distribution of the stakes containing the dramatically sealed microphones, dozen of which may be used, as the situation de- mands. The instant the air or earth vibra- lions caused by the tramp of feet or the sound of voices affect the microphone, tha; instant the effect is shown on the face of the dial by the turning of the needle from the zero point. The instant the sound ceases at the microphone the needle flies back to the zero point again. (Pa.) Cor. New York World

MAY RESULT SERIOUSLY.
Damage Suits Threatened Against
Three Railroads and the Pull
man Palace Car Company.

Tnree hallrOaQS ana the Hull-
man Palace Car Company.
From the San Antonio Express:
The Missouri Pacific, Kansas and Texas,
Texas and Pacific and International and
Great Northern railroads and the Pull
man Palace Car company are likely to
become defendants in damage suit that
will involve some delicate questions of
jurisdiction aid liability. The principal
plaintiffs to the suit will be Colonel
Henry Gillum, of New Orleans, we'll
known visitor to San Antonio and largely
interested in Texas properties; j. N.
Groeebeck, real estate agent of this city;
Reverend Father A. de Han, a member of
the Catholic clergy resident at Laredo,
and Col. G. W. Fulton, of Aransas county.
The cause of action is somewhat unique
and can be best understood from the
statement made yesterday to an Express
reporter by Mr.. j. N. Groesbeck,
one of the parties to the suit.
This gentleman tells the tale as follows:
~ was a delegate to the deep water con-
ventiop, and bought ticket here to go to
Fort Worth. reached that city all right,
and after the convention was over l
last, at S:15 o'clock, 1 left Fort Worth for
San Antonio and applied to the agent at
Fort Worth for sleeping car ticket. l
was told they were full, but that l could
get berth on the train. l did SO, pro
curing an upper berth, and paid the
money to the conductor for through
ticket to Gan Antonio. Ga the following
morning at 5:45 O'Clock we reached Taylor
and was held over there until O'Clock, the
same train that brougt US there waiting
also. This delay l understood was
because of the non-arrival of the Inter
national and Great Northern train,
which was hours and 20 minutes late.
We left Taylor, however, at l O'Clock
on our car, the "Denisop," and when
we got to New Braunfels the sleep
ing car conductor notified us that we
should have to change cars at Davenport
because the sleeper "Denison" would be
hitched to the north bound train aud
taken back north. We reached Davenport
and met the other train, but we declined
to be transferred and demanded that the
contractor should fulfill the contract
called for by the ticket to deliver Us in
San Antonio on the car "Denis on" that
we had through tickets and proposed to
demand our rights. The conductor stated
that the trainmaster here bad ordered the
car back, and he supposed it wonld have
to go. At any rate the north bound train
conductor hitchsd on the "DenisOn" to
the other train. Soon after it had started
north the conductor came in and de-
manded our fare to New Braunfels, 90
cent?. We refused to pay it, ard all
of us protested against being taken
away from our destination, demanding
that we be taken to San Antonio in the
car which We had paid Que passage. At
New Braunfels the conductor of the sleep
ing car came in and told us: Gentlemen,
you have got the law on us; the cor has
been ordered back, and it meets the next

B is a section; b, b, are the nests; is a
small sliding door for fowls to enter; C, c.
are rafters, pair at each end and in the
middle, these are of 3x1 lumber; d is the
ridge pole, 4X1; e, e, are the roosts, and
the crossed lines represent wire netting
which should be used to inclose upper part
of ends, the lower part, behind nests, be-
ing made as flap to hang for easy access
to nests.
Now take some thin lumber, say 2lx2,
and make skeleton Trainings. Cover them
with sacking or other stout material, and
paint well inside and out. Hang them
from the top as shown by the dotted
lines 6 G. Cut out few squares, six
inches each way, and fill in with wire
netting for ventilation. shutter the
shape of the end of house would be ser.
viceable to put up on the windy side on
cold nights. 1t will be seen that the above
can be practically turned inside out; the
roof can be thrown open on letting the
fowls out, and while they are breakfast
ing the floor can be cleaned. Then the
house should be closed, excepting the
small door, and the hens can go in
and be nearly in the dark while laying,
which is just what they like. This
house will accommodate fifty fowls,
and the under part forms a dry
place for them in wet weather. 1t may
be urged that they will not have sufficient
air This is not so. They will have
about the same cubic space per head as
two persons in an ordinary stateroom of a
steamboat and very much more ventila
ton. By this contrivance the minimum
of labor is attained all the droppings are
free of sand, and the house can be re
moved at will. The floor need not even
be nailed if cut down the middle, so as to
be in four feet three inch lengths. An
open flooring of Stats can be used. The
blocks might then be dispensed with, the
house resting on the ground, which
should be followed so as to let the drop.
pings fall through. This would entail
the removal of the house frequently, not
every time it was swept, but say once
week
A house on this principle, but smaller,
say eight feet long, three feet six inches
wide, and three feet high for about
twenty fowls, would do well to place un
der trees in a grove, as it could be re
moved every few days and the droppings
hoed in, thus fertilizing every tree in
turn. The roosts should be made of hard
wood and the edges rounded off They
should not be nailed, but let into sockets
so as to be readily removed The nests
should also move easily An occasional
dressing of kerosene and some tobacco
dust sprinkled in the nests will keep the
place from mites. The correspondent who
described the above has found pine straw
the next best material to wheat straw for
making nests He does not approve of
show.
