Effect Of Its Cure.
A friend who had heard that I sometimes suffer from insomnia told me
of a sure cure, writes a correspondent. "Eat a pint of peanuts and
drink two or three glasses of milk before going to bed," said he, "ahd I'll
warrant- you'll be asleep within half
an hour." I did as suggested, and
now" for the benefit of others'who-may"
be afflicted with insomnia, I feel It to
b.e my duty, to report wnat happened,
so far as I am able this morning to
recall the details. First let me say,
my friend Was right. I did go to
sleep very soon after my'retirement.
Then a friend with his* head under
his arm came" along and asked'me if
I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating with him, when*" the dragon
on which I was riding slipped out ot-
his skin and left me floating in'mid-
air. While I was considering how I
should get down a bull, with two heads
peered over the -edge, of'the waH and
said he would haul me up if I would,
first climb up and rig a windlass "for
him. So as I was sliding down the
mountain^sido. the brakeman came in,
and I asked him when the train "would
reach my station. "We passed your
station 400 years ago," he said, calmly folding the train up and slipping
it into his vest .pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the center
pole out of the ground, lifting the
tent and all-the people in-it "up, tip,
while I stood on the earth below
watching myself go out of sight among
the clouds above.
■  Then 1 awoke and found that I had
been asleep almost ten minutes.—Ex.,
Unpleasant Experience.
As Chas. Gallup and family, corner
of Kingsley and Thayer streets, were
finishing dinner yesterday, they were
surprised suddenly by the house filling
with steam, which seemed to issue
from every hot air flue in the building. Mr. Gallup conjectured that, the
hot water coil in the furnace had given way and hastened to the cellar to
close the inlet water cock. The cellar was so densely filled with steam
as to compel delay and soon the whole
premises had the appearance of. a
steam explosion and it is a wonder
that passersby did hot notify the fire
department. Being unfamiliar with
the plumbing, before air. Gallup could
locate the inlet cock Several barrels
of water had poured into' the cellar
around the furnace and in the cold air
flues. A plumbing establishment was
called, but the men were* at another
residence where a similar accident
had occurred. The moral to these
tales, which if heeded may save -some
disagreeable experiences some cold
day, is-^-Know your plumbing and examine and test your furnace coii if -it;
has been used a few years.—Times.

VARIETY arid PRICES
-  Some -Talked-bf Changes.
Presided? F. W. Brooks, of the- Detroit? Jackson .&. Chicago railway, expects"'that* the difficult task of-practically rebuilding the road's power
house in Ypsilanti will be completed
by May 1, and hopes, that with this
done objections to the smoke nuisance
of the power house'will have vanished.
The work under way at the Ypsi.
power house forms.a,very.important
part in the rehabilitation of the trol-.
ley line under the new management.
A goocl sized fortune is being spent on
this power house alone, not to say
anything of the work west and east of
here. A vast amount.of copper Vire
is being strung to increase the road'.s
capacity; the electrical machinery and
the boilers are all being rearranged, i
and the putting in of the latest stokers, arches and sniak.e<,applianc;es of
the Westinghouse rpeople will increase
the efficiency of the plant to a wonderful degree. A goodly part of the
work has been done,.but it has to*be
carried on slowly* for the reason that
the plant is in constant operation-.for
the e&.re of* a"5' faster and more frequent service.—Daily Press.
Engineer Injured.
Engineer George Groh, of the Ann
Arbor railroad, living at 525 Cherry
street, was injured last evening about
7:30 o'clock by a collision of his
yard engine with another engine near
the station. The two machines came

Try It For A Month.
The efficiency cf the rural telephone
is much reduced by the fact that people on the line interfere with that
which is not their business. In other
words, they listen to conversation carried on by other parties. It is almost
useless to attempt to say anything
private over a country telephone line.-
We would not advise anyone to attempt it, yet it would seem nothing
more than fair if people would leave
the telephone alone excepting when
called up. Why not try the plan for a
month and see if it would not be more
satisfactory.—Enterprise.
Utter Neglect.
Last Thursday night two junk dealers from Clinton drove here and left
their team standing unhitched while
they went into Mr. Samuels to visit
awhile. When they came out their
team was missing and a search failed
to lbcate it. In the morning the horses
were found sunken in the marsh and
it was with difficulty that they were
hauled out by aid of another team with
ropes. The poor horses were nearly
dead and one expired soon after. The
men were arrested and fined.—Manchester Enterprise. '
