PLEASURE TRIPS,
Numerous Excursions tiie Coming Summer at Reasonable Haces. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States 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 desirabie opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaont thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable ronte privileges will also be accorded Boston excur sioniats, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to retarn by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier,. Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to New York and thence through the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johnstown and the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. 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 the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but It is certain that no railway will offer better inducements khan 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

A SWEET VOUNG FACE.
Along the noisy city ways And in this rattling city car, On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jar,
When suddenly a young, sweet face Looked on my petulance and pain And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
9
The day was just as bleak without, My neighbors just as cold within, And truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile The world grew pure, the heart grew warm, And sunshine gleamed a little while
Across the darkness of the storm. 3
I did not care to seek her name, I only said, "God bless thy life, Thy sweet young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife." 1858. —Phillips Brooks.
THE EARTHQUAKE.
Surely no building of its size ever contained more food for the imagination that my friend Nor man's riverside bungalow. It v»-as fairly crammed with curiosities from many lands.
Jack Norman had not only "been everywhere and seen everything,'' as the saying is—he had brought home a shipload of mute but convincing witnesses.
Capital yarns he would spin about his treasures too, but of one object neither he nor liis pretty Spanish-American wife could be induced to speak, except casually. "The Liberator is sacred," he would say when asked where he got it, or "The Liberator lias been in an earthquake,'' when its battered appearance was commented upon.
It was the figure of a satyr in bronze, about 3 feet high, with the legs and hoofs of a goat, short, blunted horns, huge pointed ears, grinning, lopsided mouth and a broken nose. Its left eye had also been in the wars—the metal was dented as if by a heavy blow, which had changed the figure's original roguish expression into a hideous leer.
Often have I seen Jack put his arm round its wry neck and talk to it with all the affection that a parent bestows on his offspring. But it was Mrs. Norman who gave me the clew to the secret.
Jack had been seriously ill—a return of jungle fever. His wife came to me in the drawing room. "Oh, he is so much better," she said, with her dark eyes swimming. "He soon will be well. Ah, me 1 What would I do without my brave, true husband I think no wife has ever been so happy as I. And"—turning to the hideous satyr—"you gave him to me, you dear old thing!"
She flung her arms round the twisted neck and kissed the grinning mouth. A dozen times she pressed her warm lips to the cold bronze.
I could not help smiling. "You laugh," she said, "but it is true. Some day Jack shall tell you, perhaps. We do not like to speak of it. There is a grave beyond the sea. A mother tends it who would grieve if the truth were known."
Soon afterward I had the good luck to do Norman a service. "I must make you a present," he said. "Look round and tell me what you would like. I course."
bar'the Liberator "of
He took a nude, guardless sword from the wall. "Do yon know what this is?" he asked.
Some sort of sword,'' I replied. "It is a Nicaraguan machete, carried by all the men and many of the women in that unquiet country.. Look along the edge.''
I did so and perceived a dull stain near the square point. Jack drew his finger down a long white scar on his bronzed cheek. "That stain is blood. It came from here—some of it I got a worse cut on the head. Now I'll tell you the story."
He lit a cigar, flung himself into an easy chair and began.
"Some years ago I had an interest in a Segovian gold mine. Segovia, I should say, is in Nicaragua, between the Great lake and Honduras. Tiring of the wild life, I resolved to visit Granada, (tee night I passed in the hotel, and that was too long, for I was eaten alive. Next day I sought out a vacant house, found the owner and struck a bargain. "The house I rented was an immense building, erected on three sides of a courtyard paved with marble There was not a pane of glass in it, bnt plenty of iron bars. The courtyard had a bro-, ken fountain in the center, water le^,course, and half hidden by rubbish and shrubs, run wild long sinca "The time hung pretty heavily upon my hands, so one morning I set to work to clear away the rubbish that choked the basin of the fountain. At the very bottom of the heap I found the Liberator. "I cleaned the statue myself. Pepe dared not touch it at first He said it was a Carib god. It wasn't in its present battered condition then, and I considered it a great find. We set it up on a shelf above my bed, and in 48 hours I had forgotten all about it. "Of course I visited the cafes, where you may drink bad chocolate and gamble to your heart's content Everybody does both there, and 'when one is in Rome'—you know the adage? "At a gambling house I met Don Manuel Arguello. By way of return for the money he had #jn of me he took me home and introduced me to his mother and cousin. After that I called every day, for I had fallen in love with the Senora Isabel. "The passion of any life was returned. But I was unaware that Don Manuel also loved her. I did not learn until too late that he had long looked forward to
1
repairing* his broken fortunes by marriage with his cousin. He enlightened me—I need not describe the scene—and I refused to stand asMe. Then he threatened to take my life. "As you know, my wife is a capital horsewoman, and it was our custom to ride daily on the Los Cocos road. One morning my darling failed to meet me at the trysting place. I dismounted to wait, leaving my horse with Pepe. Presently he called me, and I found him examining the tracks. 'Senor,' said he in his grave fashion, 'here is the trail of the senora's mare. It is fresh. It was made this morning.' He moved on, bent double.
Other horses have halted here, have plunged about and have gone. The senora's mare went with them.' Again he moved on. 'Ah!'he exclaimed presently, 'there is the print of a lasso ring which has missed the mark. There the senora's mare halted suddenly, like the wise animal she is. That lasso did not miss, and she has had a fall before maybe'— 'What on earth are you driving at?' I cried. 'The senora turned there and spurted the mare,' he said. 'The other horses followed in a great hurry, senor. She did not gallop far, as we have seen. Afterward she went quietly.' 'For the love of heaven tell me what you have learned I cried. 'A mile farther on, senor,' answered the Indian stolidly, 'there is a path which leads to Don Manuel's hacienda. If the senora's mare turns there, that is where the Senora Isabel will have gone —not willingly, senor.' "We galloped hard to the byway spoken of. Sure enough, all the tracks left the road there. The observant Indian was right. "I had my pistols, he his machete. We pursued the abductors and caught them before they reached the hacienda —as ugly a quartet as I ever set eyes on. The prudent Don Manuel had directed the business from a safe distance. "His fellows showed fight, of course, but I managed to wing one at the first fire, when they all turned tail. I took my darling back to her aunt, with whom she was quite safe. Don Manuel did not show up. He knew better."
Mrs. Norman came in just then, and Jack abruptly changed the subject. Half an hour later Jack resumed.
"My darling was very fond of her aunt and unwilling to hurt her, so we said nothing of her son's villainy. But when Pepe and I got back to our ruinous palace he advised me to barricade the door of my room. However, I didn't think it worth while, but at nightfall I stretched myself on the hide bed and fell asleep, with a revolver close to my hand. "About midnight I was awakened by a cut on the head, which, luckily, did not stun me, or I shouldn't be spinning this yarn now. I started up with the blood streaming down my face. "Don Manuel stood over me with my revolver in one hand and an uplifted machete in the other. There's the machete. "'Now you shall die, robber!' he hissed and aimed another blow at me, which I avoided. Shouting loudly for

I won't take anything,'' I answered. "If you'll tell me why you set such store by that old bronze, wre shall be quits.'' "I couldn't have done it a week ago for a certain reason. But the person concerned is dead." I had noticed that Mrs. Norman was in deep mourning.

"Before I could rise his knee was on my chest, the machete at my throat. I felt the edge. With a last effort I flung him from ma That instant the bed heaved and tossed, the stout walls shook, the sleeping city awoke wih a scream of terror. Dazed as I was, I knew what had happened. So did my enemy. 'The earthquake shall not save you!' he yelled, and rashed at me over the quivering floor. But again the bed heaved beneath ma Something fell from abova There was a dull, sickening thud —a scream of agony—and Don Manuel rolled over and lay still, leaving the machete across my neck. Ah, that was a close shave! "I staggered to my feet and groped my way through clouds of dust to the street, which was full of people, shrieking, wailing, praying to the saints. An hoar the earthquake lasted, shock following shock. "When all was quiet and the people had ceased to wail and pray, I returned to the palace. Pepe lay in his hammock, bound and gagged. Together we entered the room where I had so narrowly esoaped death. I "The body of Don Manuel, with thje skull crushed in, lay beside my bed.

New Sort of Poker.'-
Anew variation of poker has sprung up. It deals out the entire pack in equal numbers to all players. If five are playing, for example, each will get ten cards at the start If seven are playing, each gets seven, the three cards left over being put asida Then, instead of drawing, each player discards as he likes from his hand, so that he shall have five oards to play with, making the best hand possible out of those dealt him. Hands are apt to ran high in this sort of gakna It is called "peculiar."
A poker game in Which six cards were dealt, discards and draws being so regulated that Krnly five cards constituted the final hand, has been known for some time, but this is a further development of that idea. |lt is said to have originated along the}shores of Long Island.— New York Si

HUXLEY.
jfhe death of Professor Huxley makes a vacancy in the ranks of men of science which will not soon be filled, if it shall ever be.—Omaha Bee.
After Darwin, Huxley was easily the best known English biologist of the day. His admirers have even declared that his was the richest mind of the time.—Buffalo Express
Asa naturalist and comparative anatomlst he stood in the foremost rank, and the reoorded results of his investigations in these fields constitute a splendid addition to the literature of natuiUl science.— Indianapolis Journal.
Professor Huxley devoted his entire life to soience, and his discoveries and works in this line are of inestimable value to the human race. He had no equal as a biologist, comparative anatomist and naturalist.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

BOMBPROOF SAGE.
Aj a remuneration for saving Uncle Russell Sage to society $40,000 does seaman exorbitant figure.—Chicago Tribune.
A jury has decided that the human shield services rendered by William R. Laidlawto Russell Sage are worth $40,000. —Philadelphia Call.
The fact that William R. Laidlaw had obtained a verdict for $40,000 against Multimillionaire Russell Sage will not plunge the country in grief.—Buffalo Enquirer.
Mr. Sage doubtless regards the last jury as scruffier than the others. On the whole, Mr. Sage ought to settle and get out. In this way he will get rid of Mr. Choate'fc abuse.—New York Advertiser.
This ought to end the matter. The scandal of the business is that in all probability the defendant will continue to use the law as a shield for his pocketbook till justice and public patience shall be worn out together.—Philadelphia Record.
Come, Uncle Russell, pay your 840,000 to Laidlaw and let it go at that. It may make you tired to let so many dollars go in a lump, but better that than that you should continue to make the public weary with your stubborn fight against justice. —New York World. 4 1*
The fourth trial of Laidlaw's suit against Russell Sage resulted in a verdict for $-10,000 for the plaintiff, but as Sage has declared his intention of contesting the case all the way to the supreme court of the United States Laidlaw in still far from getting his money—much farther, in fact, than Mr. Sage's lawyers.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Forty thousand dollars would ho a high price for some lives, but it is probably a low market rate for a life like that of Mr. Sage, who is ono of the giants of American commerce, but who in the present proceedings seems to have modestly and parsimoniously underestimated tho pecuniary value of liis own preservation.—Washington Star.
THE STAMP OF STYLE.
Shirt waists of white india silk are worn with skirts of all colors. A handsome summer hat is of rough straw braid, with trimming of wide satin ribbon, with violets and leaves.
A novelty in neckwear is a narrow velvet collar, with small bows, and very long onds of velvet ribbon from the back of the neck.
Dainty and stylish dresses of challie, India silk or light figured woolens are made with yokes of embroidery, full puffed sleeves and embroidered cuffs.
Lace flounces, made in a sort of festoon arrangement, are stylish for thin dresses. White lace looped up in scallops, with* bows at each corner or point, is a popular trimming.
Black lace capes over color are'seen, buft are not thought as protty and stylish as those entirely lined with black. Brocadedcapes with deep lace flouncing are daintyr and some of them have the figures outlined in embroidery or jet.
Black lace dresses, while not In the height of fashion, are nevertheless alwaystolerable, and some ladies make it a point never to be without a good one. They should bo lined with silk, either blackr which is much the best taste, or in colors for specially dressy wear.
A stylish hat is made of tho fancy chip braid now so popular. It is slightly arched over the front and bent down at the side» over tho ears. The trimming is of larger loops of drosden ribbon and velvet ribboir alternating. One large bow is placed over the front and loops and a twist fastened around the crown.—Now York Ledger,
ROSEBERY'S DOWNFALL.-

THE WISDOM OF BUDDHA.
To the sinful man sin appears sweet am honey. He looks upon it as pleasant so long as it bears no fruit, but when its trail ripens then he looks upon it as sin.
By oneself evil Is done by oneself one suffers by oneself evil is left undone by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself no one ean purify another.
He who gives himself to vanity andt does not give himself to meditation, forgetting the real aim of life and grasping at pleasure, will in time envy him who has exerted himself in meditation.
Tho fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive. A man winnows his neighbor's faults lik®' chaff, but his own fault he hides, as cheat hides the false die from the gambler.
Let no man ever take into consideration whether a thing is pleasant or unpleasant. The love of pleasure begets grief, and the dread of pain causes fear. He who is free from the love of pleasure and the dread of pain knows neither grief nor fear.
