yesterday, land one of the funniest circum-
stances that can recall happened last Friday
night. was running up the Milwaukee road
few hundred miles, and when left Sioux
City my only fellow passengers were an old
man and his wife, who occupied the lower
section across from me. They had their berth
made up early and soon retired. guess it
was the first time they had ever Travelled in a
sleeper by the way they acted for they were
pretty awkward about undressing, and !
heard the old lady lecture her husband for
not getting a larger room. After much
mutual grumbling all was quiet, and then
came a deep snore accompanied by one a trifle
more subdued. 1t was evident the old people
were asleep. At Manila Junction large
party came in and taxed the sleeper to its
full capacity. The porter had to remove the
baggage of the couple, which was slowed
above them, and assigned the berth to lit
tie inoffensive citizen weighing about 100
pounds He removed his shoes and was climb
ing into the bunk when the old lady woke up
and began screaming
This aroused her husband and he yelled for
the porter, who came running down the aisle.
Say, there's a man just come into our room,
the old gentleman gasped out. The porter
tried to explain that he would not annoy
them, and had right to be there. But nei
Their would believe this, and the old man de
clared that the porter had let him in to rob
them, He was also indignant to think any
one should be allowed to sleep in the same
compartment as his wife, and finally he and
the old lady got up and dressed, and insisted
on the porter removing the bedding from
their berth, SO they could use the seats. !
peeped through the curtains and saw them
both sitting there nodding, but every few
minutes they would suddenly remember and
sit bolt upright. pitied the poor, deluded
couple, and really the situation was not lack
ing in pathos, for they were thoroughly in
earnest. When | got off the train early next
morning they were still sitting there, but
both were sound asleep, the old gentleman

What Mackerel Feed On,

The contents of the stOmachS of mackerel
were preserved on two days only, May 10 and
May H. The size of the fish was from eleven
to thirteen and a half inches in length. On
the first day mentioned the quantity of food
taken from the stomach averaged four drains
to a stomach; on the second dav it averaged
five and a third drams except in the case OF
one specimen, which afforded eight drains
The average quantity of food to a stomach,
therefore, agreed very closely with the aver
age results of surface organisms when towing
with the twelve inch net These deductions.
however, are based upon too few observa,
tions to have any special significance. 1t is
well known that the surface organisms serv-
ing as food for mackerel and other pelagic
fishes are very unequally distributed, and are
constantly changing their position, appear.
ing and reappearng under the varying con,
ditions Of the water and atmosphere. While
sometimes they are apparently absent over
wide areas, at others they form dense clouds
plainly diStinGushable by their color.
Such swarmS would readily attract the
schools of rapidly swimming fishes while
they might easily escape the notice of fish
ing vessel moving slowly from place to place
1t is also probable, from previous observa
tions of the fish commission, that the mack
erel feeds to some extent below the surface
AS to the character of its food the mackere
probably exercises little discrimination, bu;
swallows all the smaller objects occurring ii
its path. Certain species or groups Of spe
cies are, however, much more abundant thai
others, and these are recognized as its com
mon or appropriate food. Such are the cope
pods, the pelagic amphipods, some of tin
pteropOds, ami perhaps Sagitta. On tn.
present cruise several species of copepods
ThemiStO b;spinosa of amphipods, Spirialis
species of pteropodS, and Sagitta elegans wer

American Depuratlns Bath

| Will be found superior 10 anything ever Of

AS a remedy in dropsy it is unequaled in etii

other agents known to Sciences ana diseases of
| the nervous system.
| 1t is pre-eminently useful in the prevention
and cure of all diseases peculiar to the fe-
male sex. These statements are made after
an experience Of years in its use in hundreds
| of cases.
BY its construction we are placed in absO-
lutte control of heat, a diffusble stimulent OF

allure of the blood; q sedative to the nervous
end arterial systems, without reactiOnary ten

1t acts by establishing perfect circulation
in the capillaries of the entire skin, removing
congestion, and at the same time depurating
the. blood of all poisonous and efrete matter
thus renovating the organic nervous system
and vitaliziDg the functions. During the en-
tire time of bathing the person is completely
protected from the inhalation of effete matter
and poisonous inhalation from his own body
or the bodies Of other bathers.
The submerging OF the BODY In wafer ar
rests depuratiOn from the skin, whereas by
the application of water in sprays, as in this
bath, the elimination of effete matter is rapid
~ increased.

at Hot Springs, here in your own home, that
will cost you time and big expense to go
abroad.
For malaria, kidney trouble. rheumatism,
catarrh, dropsy, it has no equal. 1t admits of

Another Longevity Table.

From statistics gathered by prominent
life insurance company it appears the occu-
patton most conducive to longevity is that Of
merchants. Next to these in expectation of
life como farmers; then follow in succession
doctors, lawyers, clergymen, shopkeepers and
hotel keepers. 1t may be mentioned that
among hotel and saloon keepers, brewers and
wholesale liquor dealers the deaths from con-

are comparatively few, while the rate for
nervous diseases and diseases of the liver is
extremely high. Brokers follow hotel keep

The waste of coal byexposure to the wealth,
err has been variously comEsIted and depends
very much upon the nature and quality of
tire coal and the climate to which it is ex-
posed Soft coal suffers the greatest amount
of loss, as it crumbles to dust by the action
of the sun, air and rain; its loss in bulk is
calculated to amount to II per cent. per an
mum, and it deteriorates in quality much
more than hard coal. Hard coal exposed to
the weather loses its bulk to the extent Of
about per cent. per annum. On the whole,
it is much more economical to place coal un-
der cover, as while sheltered it retains its
quality and suffers little loss. Another seri-
Gus danger is also thus avoided-spontaEcou
