IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
Comfortable Fittings of Railway Cars for the Benefit of Sub.
 urban Passengers.

Some newspaper attention has lately been attracted to the ''club cars" by which little groups of wealthy New York snd Chicago business men increase the comfort of the daily trips between their suburban homes and their city offices. states Youths Companion.
 Each car is in effect club house on wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings oa the ordinary cars are removed, and simp- Ter and more tasteful decorations are substituted for them. Movable wicker chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric fans cool the air in summer. There are dressing rooms, libraries, experiments for the women, in short, everything which can contribute to the comfort of tho travellers.
 The cars ara open only to members oi the group which hires them, but they represent merely the climax of con- stAnt improvement in travel, both by water and by rail.
 At the other end of the scale we see the steerage accommodations of the ocean steamships. Persons who are familiar only with the horrible conditions foH  which "a steerage passage" used to stand would be astonished if they were to visit | modern liner More room, more light, more privacy, better food, better sleep Ing and sanitary accommodations and an abundance of water, both for drinking and for bathing, are now possible even to the poor immigrant The steerase passage of to-day is more comfortable mode of travel than was the second cabin passage ten years ago. First cabin accommodations have improved correspondingly. One of the newest vessels has between 40 and 50 suites ot rooms, each provided with It's private bath.
 What is most needed now is substitu. tion of wicker or leather seats for the nnsanitary plush so dear to American car builders and album makers, and yreat.r seating capacity in street cars.

CONVICT HELPS OUT A BANK.
Cashier in Prison Aids in Untanalina
 Affairs of Wrecked Institution.

Detroit, Mich, March 25.-Cashier Johnson, who is serving ten year sen- tence in the Detroit house of correction for wrecking the Niles National bank about two years ago, started in on his term with the determination to render no assistance whatever to L. F.. Wood who was appointed the receiver.
 He took the position that he was in as bad a fix as he could be and he would let others unravel the tangle that his crookedness had created. Later he changed his mind by reason of cer- tain inducements that were promised him and has rendered invaluable cid. The wreck was apparently so complete that when the bank closed its doors it was doubted whether the receiver would be able to pay twenty-five cents on the dollar. MT. Wood has just sent out five per cent dividend, making eighty per cent In alI and promises to bring the total up to ninety per cent before he is discharged.

the hours of rising and going to bed are different. Even the meals are an entire change of programme. This is all rest full. Routine is the evil that nourishes and encourages nerve troubles.
 "Women are especially susceptible to the habit of living in an unaccustpmed rut-every day of the year the same. They frequently boast that they all ways get up at the same hour and go to bed at the same time. They even eat the same dishes on certain days, wear the same colors. and travel oyer the same roads.
 When women patients come to lne with incipient nerve troubles evidenced by their symtors I always prescribe 9 change of their habits. If they are ot the busy, hustling sort in society ar in their domestic affairs prescribe the rest cure.
 "One rule which always seems to the nervous woman a dreadful waste of her time is to spend one day every one or two weeks in bed. This is a mild form of sleep cure. A patient whose nerves are tired may keep up the end- less routine of worry depressing thoughts and looking forward to ills that may never occur in her waking moments. but in a darkened room with sounds and visitors and letters and newspapers barred she will drop asleep and will be amazed, and perhaps shock ed. to find that it is quite possible for her to sleep forty-eight hours-with occasional wakes for a cup of milk or bouilon.
 Occasionally we find persons who advance the theory that people sleep too much and that it is possible to do with three or four hours sleep in twen ty- four. It is true people can keep this up for some time. but even though they begin with thoroughly sound nerves and good physical condition it can only

SLEEP CURE FOR NERVOUS ILLS.
London Has Taken to a New Treat.
 nfent Fad.


 Sleep is being recognized at last as cure. For nervous troubles it is highly recommended, and in London patients are encouraged to sleep for weeks at A time, with waking moments for eating and drinking.
 Neurasthenia, epilepsy and dipsom- mia have responded very readily to the treatment and some marvellous cures cure establishments.
 Swedish doctor is the inventor of the cure. and the patients taking this treatment are obliged to put themselves completely in the hands of .he physl- elan who allows no deviation from che contract. Undoubtedly this is the se- cret of the success of his cure. Sleep has long been recognized as a mighty good thing for nervous ills. but nervous patients are, as a rule. most opposed to the method. Nervous energy will not allow the worn-out woman of society. or the tired mental worker, to relax sufficiently to remain quiet in body or mind; and the sleep cure Is in reality compulsory cure.
 The main difficulty which doctors meet in their treatment of nerve trouh- les is the refusal of the patients to leave the surrounding causes of the ex- citable condition. The brain-fagged merchant cannot expect to find relief from insomnia and it's attendant ills if he remains within sound of the tele- phone bell and the ticker.
 In the cities where the noises of street cars, elevated trains, arnbulances and fire engines are constant a nerve cure Is almost impossible. For this reason patients suffering from this form of disease are always sent away on ocean voyages or to the country. where their ears will not be assailed ay constant din.
 But even under these circumstances sleep is often impossible and the drugs resorted are worse in most cases than the cure. Frequently the very simplest and most old fashioned remedy proves enectual. Massage is now recognized as valuable aid in the cure of insom- mia, and when taken with light gymnas- tic exercise and cold showers very ob- stinate cases are cured
 The slep fad is one form of the rest cure" said q physician who advocates the cold water cure for nervous dis eases. "The principal difficulty in deal ing with troubles of this sort is en-  countered in the mind of the patient, which dwells constantly on his condi- tion.
 The various remedies that prove ef- ncacious in so many instances do SO not so much on account of their inher- ent virtues as from the fact that they remove the mental strain. The sleep cure leaves the brain unconscious for such long period that it has time to rest and be refreshed.
 Tn the same way an ocean voyage often proves a sedative. A day or two out from land, and the complete differ ence in scene and surroundings takes the sick mind from its own ailment It Is the same principle that drives away the toothache at the dentists door.
 Many of the women who make Lenten retreats take the rest cure in the weeks which they are inside con- vent walls. The way of life Is changed

BRITT'S FIGHT

for the head and they mixed it with out damage. Corbett seemed to be waiting for a chance to get in a tell ing blow Finally he drove a terrific right to the stomach, but received still harder one from Britt's left in the stomach. Corbett was wild with a terrific right swing and they went to a clinch. Corbett kept rushing at Britt, who appeared tired. Corbett sent straight left to the jaw and right to the body. Corbett kept after Britt but did not land. Britt forced Corbett to the ropes, but failed to take advantage of a wide opening. They got to the center of the ring and the bell found them in a mixup fighting fierce. It looked like an even fight up to this stage.
 Round 13--They rushed to a clinch and Referee Graney parted them. Britt was wild with two lefts and another left for the body was blocked. Very little fighting followed, the men clinching repeatedly Britt was short several times with his left and Cor bett whipped a left to the jaw. Britt then forced Corbett to the ropes, land ing left hook to the stomach and a left to the face. Corbett forced him back to the center of the ring and caught Britt twice on the jaw with two hard right upperluts. It was noticed that Corbett took good care to keep his stomach covered. As the bell rang. Corbett swung with a fearful right for the jaw, but it went wild. The pace has slowed down and both men again went to their corners tired. Cor bett had the better of the round.
 Round l4-Corbett swung hard rights to the ear and followed it with right tn the body, that was partially blocked. Clever blocking followed. corbett fail- Ing to land three left swings. They clinched Corbett then knocked a left for, body but received a straight left to the face. A right swing by Corbett went wide and Britt missed two lefts In succession for the face. Corbett isrred Britt with a straight left to the jaw that forced him to a clinch. Jim- my again appeared tired as the bell rang. The round was Corbett's. The men arc doing much clinching and the referee is kept busy keeping them apart.
 Round l5-Corbett went in after Britt, planting a straight left to the Jaw and a right to the body. Britt than received two right and left swings on the jaw that dazed him. He fought back desperately and drove a couple of left hooks to the body that made the champion wince. Corbett forced Britt to the ropes, planting a right and left to the jaw. It looked bad for Britt He appeared very groggy and fought like a dying man. Corbett sent a left to the jaw and missed a right that would have ended the bettle had 1t landed. Britt received two rights and lefts on the jaw that sent him into a clinch. He. hung on desperately to avoid punishment. As they broke away Britt drove straight left to the stom- ach with great deal of force, remark ing. "How do you like it. yoursc.f?' The bell sent them to their corners. It was Corbett's round.
