OF late the railway companies have
been vigorously enforcing the weighing
of passengers luggage, more especially
on the lines which compete with one
another to some distant centre. In
fact, when two or more lines run from
London to the same provincial town,
each company keeps inspectors or de-
tectives at the stations Of its rivals to
see that the passengers luggage is duly
weighed, and, if over weight, duly
charged for. This Is because any neg
lect to charge for excess Of luggage
would act as an inducement to the pub
lie to travel by that line, and so would
contravene that understanding as to
uniform rates which is always entered
upon by competing lines. A CORE
spondent, who addresses us a humor-
Gus letter on this subject, points out
the hardship caused to small men by
overcharge for excess of luggage, and
suggests that the passenger and his
luggage should be weighed together, a
standard weight being fixed for the
two. BY the present arrangement a
big fat man and a small thin man may
each have a portmanteau which weighs
several pounds too much, and yet the
little man and his luggage together
may weigh far less than the big man
and his luggage. But the little man is
equally overcharged, whereas, consid-
ering that he weighs less and takes up
less room, he should by all considera-
tions of equity be charged a smaller
amount. Nevertheless, we fear that
the passenger Of little weight will still
have to submit to being overcharged on
his luggage without any reference to
the amount of space he occupies in the
carriage or the pressure he exercises
on the company's gprings.-Londor
Globe.

When Baby Has Earache.

Earache Is another common ailment
of babies; they often suffer much and
are frequently treated for other trou-
bles before the real one is discovered.
A child with an carache will waken
suddenly from a sound sleep with a
sharp cry, and usually puts his hand
to his ear; after a short crying spell
he quiets doup or falls asleep, only
to waken again ater with another
paroxysm. Heat Of any kind applied
to the ear will almost always give
relief, but IL 1t does not the doctor
should be called. A small hot water
bag placed against the ear, or small
muslin bags filed with hops, bran, or
salt, anything, in fact, which will hold
heat long, heated in the oven, then
applied to the ear, will usually stop
the pain. If the attack occurs at
night it is not always convenient to
procure one Of these things; then the
hand placed over the ear will afford
some help; a flannel is still better,
whether 1t be the baby's band, his
shirt, or his petticoat; it can he heat
ed very quickly by holding it against
the gas shade, or, better yet, the Chin
ney Of the lamp. If little hot water
can be had, syringe the ear with it.

SPONTANEOUS Combustion OF Hay.

1t is pretty well established that
clover or other hay placed in stable
mows when green may heat so violent
Iy as to finally become ignited. Ap-
parently authentic cases have been re-
ported and while positive proof is
lacking, circumstances seem to indi-
cate that destructive fires frequently
originate from spontaneous combus-
ton. Several years ago the college
barn at the Pennsylvania station took
fire and it was found that the flame
was confined to hay NOW IS %
feet and % feet high. 1t was thought
best to remove the portions Of hay
not one fire. The mass was smolder-
ing and as soon as exposed to air 1t
burst into flames. Examination Of
the mass thrown out Of the barn show
ed that the greater portion of 1t was
so badly charred as to be unfit for
stock food. For several days previous
to the fire a peculiar odor had been
noticed about the barn. An examina-
ton showed that this proceeded from
the NOW. but fire was not suspected.
1t will probably be well to avoid plac-
ing large quantities of clover hay In
mows until thoroughly cured
