Senator Ives. president of the State
of Arizona improvement Company
has re ceived copy of the decision as
rendered by the Supreme court at
Washington, in the celebrated prison
labor contract case in which new
trial has been granted the company
upon technicafity. The technicality
rests upon the fact that the board OF
control had ordered the company to
file a bond, whi;h was done and
placed on the records Of the board
but by an oversight the records at
Washington fsiled TO show taat it had
been filed, and the Supreme court re-
versed the decision of the territorial
court. But since the discovery of the
error the company has been granted a
new trial by the court at Washington

victory for his company.

Some of the greatest workers of our
day have done with much less than
eight hours of sleep, says the British
Medical Journal. Dr.. James Legge,
professor of Chinese in the University Of
Oxford, who has just died at the age of
81, was, it is said, in the habit of rising
at three a. m. and allowing himself only
five hours Of sleep. Brunei, the famous
engineer, for a considerable part of his
life worked nearly 20 hours day. Sir
George A. Elliott, afterward Lord
Heathfeld, who was in command
throughout the great siege Of Gibraltar,
which lasted four years, never during
all that time slept more than four
bours out of the "a. "As 1 get old" said
Humboldt, 81 want more sleep-four
hours at least. When I was young,

they serve to show that longevity and a
small allowance of sleep are not in all
cases incompatible.

WHY THE COWS LIKED TO LOOK.
She Was No Longer Sensitive About
Her Large Feet.

They were in q st. Louis shoe store
the other day, says the Sunday Pc
public, and this is what was overheard.
The speaker was an elegantly dressed
woman with a smiling face. She was
a large woman and the shoe clerk was
looking for comfortable shoe fer her
'.You know 1 have such long feet"
she said to her friend. 'The size of
my feet was great trial to me. The
children at home always teased me,
and l often cried because they were SO
ugly. at IA my feet were as large as
they are now.

RAT HUNTS I'M OHIO.
Opposing Armies Frequently Resort
to TrIckery.

OPpSbAhs AThtles EredueEUy aesCrt
to Trfckery.
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says a Bloomingburg
(O.) correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oPpos
ing "armies" of hunters. A rat hunt
has just been concluded here in which
11,455 rat tails were counted, and a
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6,sO2 tails and the
other 1853 tails. It now leaks out
that one of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held rat hunt
1,4s6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
a cent for 4s6 of them, the tails cost
ing more than SIP. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased a man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the II, ASS tails were counted
out here man was present from
Plain City and offered to give SIS cash
for 1900 rat tails, but they were all
burned, and he was not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts.

The Swedes are renowned fer
their beautiful complexion.
When a Swedish weman has
clear, beautiful skin, it rivals almost
in exquisite loveliness the bloOm of
the English rose" or her cousin,
the American lily" To lie in bed
and be waited on by a nurse with
wild-rose complexion and to dis
cover that when health returnes
one may hope to attain to such
compl .xion by use of very simple

degree for the weary days in bed.

Timing of q Railway Train.

Not one person in hundred who
travels has any idea Of the speed of
a train, and even d large percent
age of regular trainmen cannot
tell with any degree of accuracy
Engineers use their driving wheels
as a guage. They know its circum
ference and by counting its revolu-
tions within a certain time, can
tell very accurately the speed at
which they are running.
A favorite method of timing
among passengers is to count the
telegraph poles. AS a rule these
poles are planted thirty to the
mile, but in prairie countries where
only a single wire is used, the num-
Der diminises to 25. The most ac-
curate method in use By railroad
men is to count the number OF rail
Joints the train passes over in ~
seconds. The rails or nearly all
roads are thirty feet in length, and
the number passed over in twenty
seconds is the speed per hour the
train is running.
Fer instance, if a passenger can
count thirty clicks on a rail point
in twenty seconds, the train is run
ming at a speed of thirty miles an
hour. Actually, this method falls
little short, as in the example
given above the speed would be
nearer 81 than 80 miles, but it is
Hear enough for all practical pur-
poses. -Ex.
