Dining and Sleeping Cars.

A recent issue of "Public Opinion"
has the following about the equip
ment and expense of dining and Sleep
ing cars on railroads: "Dining cars
are generally run at a loss. A stew
ard, four cooks, and five walters are
attached to each car. The food costs
from $1,000 to e1,5OO a month. 1t
costs from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
to run one of these cars, exclusive of
the wear and tear. A sleeping car
leaving New York for Chicago is sup.
piled with 100 sheets, 100 pillow slips,
and 120 towels. The washing is done
in different cities at a low rate. One
company, for 700 cars, uses every
month 2400 dozen cakes toilet soap,
1900 dozen boxes matches, IS dozen
hair brushes, so dozen whisks, 80 doz-
en- combs, and a vast number of
sponges and and busters" These
conveniences are now so common on
first-class roads as to excite no COM
ment except the "kick'' of some pass
enger who fancies he has not had
everything. There used to be a little
objection to the uniform price of
meals, but that is not heard since the
''cafe plan' was adopted. The pub
Usher of a prominent St. Paul daily
said lately-"I like the cafe plan on
the Burlington dining cars, because I
can pay according to my appetite and
the attractions of the bill, and don't
pay for what some other fellow
wants." The dinners on this line
have the name of "peerless'' in menu
ands cuisine, and the compartment
sleepers r the "inest." See that
your ticket to Chicago or st. Louis
reads via the Burlington. For any
special information, address w. ]. G.

Quotation Marks

"Quotation marks are not infrequent.
ly misused in signs" said q stroller,
"the marks being placed about names,
as. for instance. the name of a place,
or about some descriptive phrase in q
sign, though the word OF the phrase
may really not be q quotation at all,
but I am never surprised at any misuse
Of quotation marks, for I cannot forget
q very singular idea concerning them
that I had myself in my earlier days. I
used to think that siafgle quotation
marks about anything meant that the
words inolosed were sort Of partly quot
ed, more or less, whatever that may
mean. Perhaps that isn't a very distinct
statement, but I remember we'll that I
was quite tickled when later I learned
that quotation marks were not signs to
be used at the fancy Of the writer. but
might properly be used only to indicate
actual quotations. New York Sun.

After considering the petition of
Frank Buck and others living south
of town more than two and one .half
miles distant, it was voted to create
school 3, and provide for a four
months term of school this year.
The law requires at least four months
in this case. The school building
to be built for the accommodation of
this school will DO small, probably
costing not more than $3.50.
The board being fully satisfied
with the Worlds Best make of fur.
naces placed in the school building
last fall by McCloy & Senour, a mo.
ton prevailed to release the bond of
said firm.
The board decided unanimously to
charge a tuition of IS per term, paya.
BILE to the clerk in advance, for nom.
resident pupils. This will make the
tuition 10 for the school year, in.
stead ofS*5 as in the past.
The fall term will commence Mon.
