PLEASUKE TRIPS,

Numerous Excursions the Coming Summer at lieasoimble Kates.

Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England Stales or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. In Aug excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab.e opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thine for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way ami returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mi.-sissippi and Missouri rivers. Variable routs privileges will al«n be accorded Boston oxcur sionists, enabling them to visil Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to retura by steamer on Long Island Sound. after wijrljf-Sf' i"g at Newport.

It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As Hhe season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements ihan the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressing F.

Liberal concessions in fare over the Pennsylvania lines have been granted for numerous events to take-'place this ./ summer in various pirts of the United ^tates. In addition to local excursions

CABLE'S PASSION FOR TREES.

He Makes All His Distinguished Guests Plant Them.

George W. Cable, the novelist, who has resided, in Northampton, Mass., for some years, calls his residence Tarryawhile. Some time ago a careless 'reporter sent a paragraph traveling about the country making the name "Stayawhile." Mr. Cable was grieved and desires a correction. Like the old story,

Stayawhile" has been going the rounds before "Tarryawhile" can catch up, and every little while Mr. Cable is annoyed by the false and uneuphonious name.

The pleasant residence Tarryawhile is on Dryad's green, which is the name of a locality in New Orleans which Mr. Cable has utilized in one of his novels.

Mr. Cable takes great pleasure in trees. Whenever he has a visitor of reputation in the literary world he is asked by Mr. Cable to become the godfather for a tree.

Once Henry Ward Beecher was a guest at the home of Mr. Cable, who was then living on Paradise road, in the rear of the lake which adorns a portion of the Smith college grounds.

Then the tree planting with distinguished sponsors was inaugurated, and an elm sapling was planted by the great preacher. It is now a lusty tree, but it has been a great traveler. About two years after it had been planted by Mr. Beecher Mr. Cable changed the form of his grounds somewhat, and he had the tree transplanted.

On moving from Paradise road to Tarryawhile Mr. Cable had the tree transplanted again aud placed in front of his new home. It did not seem to tiie novelist to be just where lie wanted it, and it was transplanted again and 's now thriving finely.

The next tree that had a famous sponsor is a graceful white ash which now stands at the edge of the pine grove in the rear of the novelist's house. This tree was planted by Max O'lioll, the French humorist.

Not far away is anorher '{-'racefnl a:.!i. This was planted by Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Char ], the parents ox the young i.-.aii who marrk-d Mr. Cable's daugiatr Louise List winter.

Another tree was set out by the Rev. Paul Vandyke, pastor of the Edwards church at Northampton. In tho spring of 1S9-1 Edward Atkinson planted an ash near the south corner of the Tarryawhile grounds. Last fall Dr. A. Conan Doyle planted a maple on the edge of the grove about 40 yards west from the northwest corner of tho house.

A few months ago Sol Smith Russell and Mrs. Russell planted a linden midway between the ash trees of Max O'Rell and Edward Atkinson.

Mr. Cable has planted many trees, but his favorite is a tall and handsome elm which was about 15 years old when transplanted last year. It is a beauty.— Boston Globe.

Where Curfew Rings Tonight.

After years of disuse the curfew bell is again ringing. Its peaceful clangor rises in many a village like a fireside hymn. It is the angelus of the home, calling the people from labor and pleas- I ure back to the household. The revival of the custom may seem like a return to Puritan simplicity, but its beneficent results can hardly be questioned.

Twenty towns in Minnesota have already adopted the curfew ordinance. It provides that young people under 1(5 years of age who are found on the streets after the ringing of the curfew are subject to arrest. The first offense is punished with a fine, the second with imprisonment and the third with both. While the ordinance has not been long enough in operation to definitely determine its results, yet it has been proved practicable, and the towns that have tried it seem satisfied with it. The warning bell, at 10 o'clock, sends youthful stragglers where all young people should be at that hour. There can be no legitimate excuse for children being without the guarded walls of home when traitorous night threatens danger. The curfew ordinance serves the best interest of parents and children and the community at large. Other towns would do well to follow the example of these 20 enterprising places.—Minneapolis Times.

Good Guessing: by Pilots.

Along the villa decked waterway traveled by the Providence boats when they are nearing that city are nearly 200 summer places where tlio people burn red fire and colored lights whenever one of the big sound boats passes on its way to the sound and New York. The pilots are so proud of this flattering attention that they blow an "I thank you" and a "How d'ye do?" with the boats' whistles as they pass each place. Another interesting thing that these pilots do is to practice the science of locating their position in the water no matter how f°ggy °r pitch black the night may be. They do this by calculating the revolutions of the paddles, and they become so adept that when they say to a passen ger, "In two minutes you will see such and such a light ahead on the port bow,'' they rarely make a mistake. And they can actually make such predictions in seconds instead of minutes when they care to.—Now York Sun.

Queen Elizabeth.

Queen Elizabeth was of medium height and weight, but gave the impression of being much taller ihan the average. She had a Roman nose, which in the last few years of her life became very red. Her cheeks were prominent and her forehead broad and shelving. Her eyes were a grayish blue, and her hair had a decidedly reddish tinge.

Railway Around Etna.

The Catania-Bronte branch of the railway round Etna has been opened. The first train passed through a rich and romantic stretch of country. Thousands of wondering peasants who had never seen a train before gnthei'ed' to the lifle from surrounding districts and greeted it with cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. —"London News.

ATTRACTIONS OF THE LAW.-

Sacrifices That Young Men Make In the Hope, of Fame and Fortune.

Considerably over 200 young men are graduated annually from the law schools of this city. The graduates include not only the usual number of well schooled young men with friends to help them and perhaps means at command, but as well a considerable percentage of men who come to their law studies without the advantage of a good grounding in English, Latin and the sciences, without money or influential friends and with wives and children dependent upon them for support. Some of these latter finish their law studies at an age when most lawyers have been from three to ten years in practice.

Persons acquainted with the difficulties that beset the young lawyer in New York wonder what the new graduates in law of this sort are to do. They are earning in various occupations from $750 to $1,500 a year. Few of them can hope to earn immediately at the law above $000 a year, and almost none can hope within four or five years to earn by his practice as much as the most successful now earn by their present occupations. Most of such graduates in law hope to find law clerkships at $500 to $600 a year, but for these they must compete with the cleverest and best educated men from the most famous law schools in the country. Those who take the alternative of setting up offices for themselves must sacrifice ordinarily all of their present income for an uncertainty that may not yield $300 in the first year and may yield less than $1,000 in the third or fourth or fifth year. Some never get beyond law clerkships, some never find themselves able to give up the trade that earns their bread in order to begin that by which they hoped to earn both bread and fame. Enough succeed to insure full classes in the law schools year after year.

As a matter of fact the law continues to attract men hero and elsewhere, in spite of statistics that prove the average earnings of lawyers to bo below those of skilled mechanics. Men with families to support work all day and pay from 10 to

2~J

per cent of their incomes an

nually for the opportunity of studying law at night. Other men work all night for the opportunity of studying law by day. Naval officers stationed here sometimes squeeze in law lectures along with their duties to the government. Stenographers, office boys, newsboys and all sorts of hard working people share the belief that a chance to practice law is worth almost Any sacrifico of time and energy. Country folk still say of any bright lad, "He ought to be a lawyer," and tho same belief iu the law as a profession seems to be held by a great many New Yorkers of all sorts. It is still held to be the profession that leads to dignities and honors, to political success, and even to wealth.—New York Sun.

The Widow of Octave Fenillet.

Valerie Feuillet had been brought up a Royalist in the provinces by her mother, Mme. Dubois, who belonged to the most prejudiced ancient regime, and there are pretty anecdotes of little Valerie's childhood, when she was bidden to kiss a lock of blond hair belonging to King Henry V, who was to bo king only in exile, and when her pretty, dainty, frail mother, going to some ball in a sedan chair, took Valerie with her as far as tho threshold of the fete and then sent her home to the old Norman house where the little girl had first seen the light, writes "Th. Bentzon" (Mme. Blanc) in The Ladies' Home Journal.

The mother of Mme. Feuillet was own niece to a heroine of the revolution, Mile, de Ste. Suzanne, who saved her father from tho guillotine by going alone on horseback into the midst of the battlefield to ask the condemned man's pardon of General Hoche. M. and Mme. Dubois lived sometimes at their chateau of Grecceur, sometimes in the little city of St. Lo, the ultra provincial society of which is described by the author of the "Memoirs" with extraordinary spirit. It is very easy to find ift these portraits the types which inspired her husband with the delightful "Story of Sibylle" and with the provincial scenes of "Camors." In fact, there was always between them a kind of involuntary collaboration.

Caught by a Clam.

We were shown a most interesting thing in the way of a curiosity a day or two ago by Dr. C. B. Whitfield, same being the leg of a bird firmly held in the shell of a mussel. The history of the curiosity is as follows: Dr. Whitfield was riding to his plantation, and as he passed a pond near the road he heard the cries of a bird. The sound was so plaintive that the doctor got down from his horse, and walking to the pond saw a kingfisher flopping about desperately and making every effort to fly, but being unable to do so on account of a weight attached to his feet. His curiosity being excited by this strange sight, the doctor walked to the bird, and picking him up discovered that his foot was held firmly within the shell of a mussel. Dr. Whitfield at first thought of bringing tho bird to town to exhibit, but as it appeared to suffer so much he Cut its leg off and turned it loose, bringing instead the shell and the leg.—Demopolis (Ala.) Express.

Reversible Names.

D. O. Marshall, writing from Gloucester, Mass., to the New York Sun, says: My attention was called to a recent clipping from The Sun in which the peculiarity of the name of the Rev. Philip S. Moxom, D. D. was noted. In the town of Rockport, Mass., there lived a few years ago at the same time grandfather, son and grandson, and the name

Was

the

same in each case—-Esrom Morse. You 1 will notice that it reads the same from left to right and backward, and that the I first is the family name transposed. It

certainly unique in its construction and can be aiTanged in -two crosses, which is one better than Moxom. The fa-

their and son bearing the name are still living.

A DENIM HAMMOCK.

Directions For Making'-a Swing Hammock For the Baby's Use.

Denim is constantly invading new fields and taking fresli uses. Its last, as described, by a writer in The Domestic Monthly, is as the constructing fabric of a child's hammock. Two yards of denim of a brownish tone were purchased and a pattern 1% yards long by 27 inches wide was cut out of a newspaper as a preliminary step toward making the hammock. Then the denim was folded lengthwise and crosswise, so as to quarter it and find its center, and this was marked with a pin tlirust through it, after which the paper pattern was folded in the samo way, the center found and laid over the spread out denim so that the two materials would be exactly centered together lengthwise with each other. This left a strip of denim uncovered on each side of the paper pattern 4}o inches wide, while the ends were completely uncovered. A pencil line was then drawn so as to continue the sides of the denim in two long strips from end to end, making the strips 2 yards long by 4 jo inches wide. Inside of these strips was left at each end an untouched piece of denim a little more than 18 inches long by 27 inches wide as the cloth runs. These long side strips

must not bo cut, as they make the swing pieces for the hammock, but tho end blocks are cut out along the pencil line as far as tho paper and across the end of the paper, so as to make a huge capital of tho denim. You must next cut one little slit an inch deep into the exI treme comers of the bar of the along the pencil line, so as to enable you to run up a hem on the top and bottom of t-lie bar. After finishing this fold the long side strips lengthwise and run them up smooth, so as to make of them two I long straps attached to the crossbar of the H.

Now you must, take a pillow, lay it clown on the denim, as you would if tho hammock were in use as a bed, and lay a plait in each side of the crossbar to bunch it into a- pocket or vessel sha -c. Plait until you get the arrangement j-tra wish. Stick in a few pins and double stitch through the plait along its edges. You will now have the hammock shaped, and the next step is to run a pieco of the waste denim across each end all of the width as a stay to prevent the side strips from pulling off.

After placing the stays on the ends the side straps may be firmly sewed together to make hanging loops, to which light line may be added at pleasure when needed. If tho pillow and bedding will not keep far enough apart, light round sticks may be inserted anywhere across the loops by working a large eyelet in tho strips to hold the stick ends.

No More Crinolines.

We had hoped better things of fashion, but nothing seems able to stop her on the road of extravagance down which she is slipping. Skirts and sleeves aro becoming more and more ample. Skirts are pyramidal, and a large sized pillow would hold within the folds of a balloon sleeve. Ono thing, however, saves modern fashions from being utterly ungrateful— I stiffness is banished, skirts hang in soft folds, and sleeves are loosely draped 1 without a Houpcon of crinoline or buckram. In fact, in this consists the novelty of the season's toilets. They re] 1diate all stiff linings, and the triuiuj li of a good modiste is to accumulate hollow plaits aud drooping folds without the aid of any artificial support. Of course there must be underskirts, and we shall certainly seo a return to flounced starched petticoats, but the dress itself stands 011 the strength of its own material. Tho only linings used are thin sill: or satinette.—Young Ladies' Journal.

L.ady .Jeune'a lectures*

Every now and then wo hear from Lady Jeune aloud cry upon some social subject. She tells us how wicked society can be and is, and then, after she has brought a curious crowd about her, attracted by the promising hope of more scandalous disclosures, she lectures very simply and to the point. Her last work, "Lesser Questions," which is attracting a good deal of attention, is a series of characteristic studies upon the evolution of women.

Lady Jeune is well known to all of us as the Mrs. Ponsonby de Tompkyns of George Du Maurier's clever skits in Punch.. She is the drawing room diplomat, somebody has said, who can engineer all Mayfair successfully enough through her rooms. She lias led her husband in his profession of the law to heights he would most certainly never have attained without her, and she lias kept all her claims to distinction wrell in evidence at the proper moment.— Munsey's. |ffl

The Summer Girl's Complexion.

A delightful and simple and soothing lotion for the skin is witch hazel and cold cream, and as the summer girl's complexion must be as soft and clear as her skill at athletic sports she should carry some of the cream iu a dainty china box when she goes away.'

An ounce each of white wax and spermaceti and one-quarter pint oil of almonds. Melt, pour the mixture into a marble mortar, which has been heated by being immersed for some time in boiling water, add very gradually 8 ounces of roseWater and an ounce of witch hazel and assiduously stir the mixture until an emulsion is formed, and afterward until the mixture is nearly cold.—Chicago Tribune.

Eev. Jeannette Olmstead Married.

Rev. Jeannette Olmstead of Gustavus. O., and Rev. Arthur Ferris of Scranton, Pa., were married on June' 12 at the residence of Drs. W. L. and Etta L. Gilchrist, Ashtabula, O. Both bride and groom are pastors of Congregational churches. They were married by Rev. S. B. Hershey, pastor of the local Congregational church. Miss Olmstead hhs preached acceptably for three years at Gustavvfll and has been active in suffrage and temperance work.

MAGIC IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Rapid and Substantial Growth of Kalispell, Mon., In the Rockies.

Magic cities have almost ceased to be5 a novelty in western life in. this conntry, and it has come to be the common belief that their days are practically over, says the New York Sun. Those that do spring up nowadays are usually "boom" towns, which live a few years and then grow old prematurely and practically die a year or two after they are born. Now and then there is an exception to this rule in some rich mining country, but even these new towns languish after awhile, and the real life of the places seems to die out slowly. There is one notable exception to this rule, however. It is the town of Kalispell, iu western Montana, 011 tho west side of the Rocky mountains.

Kalispell is the meeting place of two divisions of the Great Northern railroad, which several years ago was built to the Pacific coast. Four years ago last June there was not a singlo building in KalispelL Now it is a city of 4,000 inhabitants. It is probably tho most prosperous town of its size in all the great west. It lias none of tho riotous life that characterizes the new towns of the west and is built for business and good order. It contains five churches, all of moderate size, two banks, two large hotels, one brewery, several schools and many handsome and modern buildings. The town and its buildings are lighted by electricity, and it has a complete system of sewers, a modern fire department and a city charter, with a mayor to administer the laws. It is no sense a boom town, and it has none of the ephemeral life that is typical in the magic cities of the far west. Kalispell has come to stay and to grow.

The place seems so substantial with its stone and painted wooden buildings, its electric lights, its sewer system, its schools and churches, its air of general prosperity, that travelers can scarcely believe it when they are told that the place is only three years old. Its like probably never existed in the development of the west, and although Montana has larger and wilder cities it has none that is more substantial respect to population and age. The place already boasts of being a model city.

TOWN BOUGHT BY A SYNDICATE.

Boston Capitalists Get Entire Control of Morse, Wis.

A syndicate of Boston capitalists has purchased Morse, is., bag and baggage, everything except the schoolhouse, and will take possession 111 a short time.

The purchase includes the entire outfit of the Penokee Lumber company, every residence in the city, every building of every kind, and all of the mercantile interests of all kinds. The price paid is supposed to bo in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. The syndicate, as soon as it takes possession, will establish the largest tannery in the state of Wisconsin, giving employment to nearly 1,000 men. A big force of men will be employed cutting the hemlock timber, aud every bit of tho bark will be used in the tannery. The tannery plant alone will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. It is said to be the intention of the promoters to run the town on much tho same plan as the town of Pullman.

Do Away With Money Order Trade,

ssa

Tiie postmaster at Radford, a little town in Virginia, complains that "his money order trade has been busted" by a man who has opened a "beehive" store in town and advertises liberally, says a write1- in Printers' Ink. Peopl« who formerly bought money orders to send to tho Philadelphia and New York department stores now patronize the home store. If the owners of small stores in other states will be as enterprising in the way of advertising as is the "beehive" man of Radford, they will not need legislative enactments to enable them to keep in business.

The closing of the Comstock branch of the Nevada bank, at Virginia City, shows the great decline in business on the great silver lode. Never for 15 years have stocks of the famous Bonanza mines been in less demand never has the output of bullion been so small. Until two years ago this bank at Virginia City transacted a large business. For five years, ending in 1880, it handled $8,000,000 monthly of bullion, besides a pay roll of over $500,000 a month. Yet a sudden strike of good ore in any of the mines would mean an immediate return of prosperity on the Comstock. Ten years ago high grade ore was found in Consolidated Virginia, and the price jumped from 25 cents to $50 a share within a fortnight.
