Tho origin of March Is tr.tceable to the Romans, who regarded It as the first month of tho year until tho stylo was changed. Tho reason for considering it tho com mencement of the year was attributed to tho fact that In March decided symptoms of vegetable growth were visible. The Romans dedicated this month to Mars, nnd called It Murliut, because of tbe great ltu. portanco they attached to war. Among our Saxon forefathers It was known as Ltntt Mortal, meaning length month.

For inHtance, a man will buy a coat that is a "eizi." too small or too large. A "size" smaller or a "size" larger Is what he prob. ably needs, but he does not know what a "size" Is, Well a "blze" In a coat is nn inch, a size In underwear Is 2 Inches, a size In a sock la 1 inch, In a collar halt an Inch, in a shirt half an Inch, In shoes one-sixth of an luch, pants 1 inch, gloves a quarter of an Inch, and In hats one-eighth of an Inch.

Tho bog Is white, looks like the Chester county breed, has beeu fattened up to tbo preseut weight, within the pist year, and Is really a curios ity for any one to look at who has nover seen so large a bog. Mr, A, Croup, one of Urlarcrcek's best farmers, two miles below Ilerwlck, raised Iho hog on his place, and on Thursday, thn 23rd ultimo, brought tbo heavy animal to this town upon a pair of bobsleds, drawn by tour bead ot stock. Tho strike In the Schuylkill coul region resulted in the substitution of coke for an thracltu coal at most of the furuaces and Iron works in tho Schuylkill Valley, Since the resumption of mining operations tho coal companies havo been aroused to a real! zation of the unpleasant fact that there Is a tendency on the part of the iron manufact urera to stick t'l coke. Tho latter havo found that coke Is a moro detiiahlu fuol than anthracite. If tbo use of coke Is con tinued, il will seriously cripple the anthra. cite trade. Anthracite Is now lower than It was before tho strike, In conscqucuce of the glut in all the coal depots. The strike gave the coke meu a splendid opportunity to supplant tho anthracite coal, and they were quick to avail themselves ot It.

To ridu over tho Pennsylvania Chicago Limited, from New York to Chicago Is to take the cream nf American railroading, and that means tho very best in the world. Tho train, as it stands in the station at Jersey City, Is evidently 'something that tbe road Is proud of. The cngluu Is big.

Those who have come to see friends oil look at them through the broad windowB as the train glides nut of the station aud quiet, but nguclhelcssardeut ly, admiring railroad men, look below al every truck and wheel and journal box, not because It Is necessary, for tho train has already been inspect! d, but they llko to look at the train and to lie sure again that tbe blossomed pink nf Hi" road Is In perfect trim for another 1000 miles run m twenty-four hours. OuUide tie cars are gorgeous; Inside they are beautiful and luxurious. You may meet on any big road In any part of the country cars as beautiful and peril pa quite as comfortable, but here la u whole train of luxury. The vestibules between tbe cars are so deftly joined that you can not discover under foot whero the plat forms come' together, and thu carpeted way Is lighted by a centre light overhead. In tbe smoking-room aro big, comfortably upholstered wicker chairs, with broad, easy backs and restful arms. Books if you wan, tn read. Cabinets of bric-a-brac, not too profuse. Rooms in which you may play cards; electric bells that will call a porter, who will fetch Apollinaris waters, or maybe stronger waters in emergency. Electric lights everywhere. I bad neglect ed to get shaved, but tbe barber-shop on tbe train afforded comtortablc opportunity. It takes a pretty fair sort of a man to shave another on a railroad tram at forty or fitly or more miles an hour, but ho can do it, though It Is uot quite so easy as to shave a man on a steamer. However good the road and the rolling stock may be, cars will sway; but ihe barber establishes gentle but firm union ot himself, the chair, and tho patient, so that all move together, and tho thing is dono. You may take bath on the train It you wish to do so. In tho dlulng car the lineu is fine, tbe food Is Battsfuctory, and tbe (lowers In .tho brack, ell op'the sides ot the car over the ends of tho tables are fragrant and beautiful, and wben you get to Chicago ynu wonder what has become of tbo twenty-four hoirs. lUUerury NoleH.

There are quiet but powerful human relations, like those of parent and child, of which you never speak, they are so simple, so natural. You will doubtless cry "Absurd " when we say that into the same rank fall the relations between this store and the public. You walk the street. Do you ever stop to say, "It is my right to walk the street," or, "For walking purposes, the street is mine" ? Or do you say "thanks" to the air you breathe. You walk through the store, do you question any more as to your rights here than on the street ? You note in your visits the touch of the passing seasons merchandise has its year equally with the calender or the Cnurch but do you not take it all as you do the touches of sun, air, or foliage your own to en- jy ? You sit in the waiting rooms, are you any less at home than in your own library ? This freedom is the store charm. We mean to make it more charming. Some charms are spoiled when mentioned. Fun is impossible when the wit is asked to be witty. Happiness, when made conscious of itself by speech, ceases. Not so this quiet power that we call the store. Isn't this strange talk about a retail store ? Perhaps you never thought of it before. But it's true. Are you thinking of the New Carpet ? W e are ready for you . More space, more styles, more novelties, more price-pull, tak ing all sorts together ; than we have ever had before. There is not such another car pet store in the world, perhaps. More than 50,000 square feet on one floor. An acre aud an eighth of room hedged in and wind- rowed with rolls on rolls of car pet and heaps on heaps of floor coverings of every worthy sort. Ihe Axmtnsters and Wiltons were never handsomer, and we never before had such a handy place or such a perfect light to show them in. Every leading make of the sturdy, reliable, liked-by-every- bofly Brussels home-made and foreign. About the 20th inst. the cream of the English Brus sels will be on hand. For the Spring sales we in troduce a new line of Brussels Technical designation, ''Wana- maker'.'' Expert information about frames, threads, and yarns wouldn t tell you much. Hut best worsted, exclusive styles and quality, sold under special guarantee of service, at $1.25 a yard, and a choice of thirty styles, ought to attract. Incrains, 2 sc. to gi. Our stock of these Carpets has been largely increased, and among the patterns are many copied from the better class of goods ?-ply, best quality 90c to $1 Extra Supers, Lowell and al the best Philadelphia makes, 70 to hoc. Medium Supers, All woo but a trifle under Extra Super quality, 65c. Ingrain Carpet, made entirely of cotton ; same number of "ends" as Extra Super. 40c, little lower grade, 35c. Double Chain Cotton Ingrain, 30c. Similar, 25c. Information, estimates or WANAMAKER S. samples sent to any address. Churches, hotels and the like are particularly interested. The story of dress goods goes on day after day like the mur mur of the sea in a shell. Challis mingle in their folds the warmth of the wild rose and the coldness of the camelia. Prices hedge between. American, 20c ; best French, 50c and 60c. Checks. A hundred kinds. Thickest maybe in the Ginghams that cover the counters as close ly as heather blossoms crowd on a Scotch moor. Anderson's, 40c ; Zephyr, 50c. American Ginghams arp un conventional in quality, design, color and price. They radiate neatness and economy, and go with a grace anywhere 27 in., 20c; 31 in., 25c. New designs in the Sateens day by day. Every pattern as fresh as a flower cup. No need to sigh for a silk or a satin while these printed wonders can be had for so little. Peerless, I2ic; fine French, 31c ; best French, 37c. The crinkly, wiry, spider-web-by Crazies, 2)4c. A Babel of styles. Fine Worsted and Cashmere Jerseys at about half the regular price.

Book News for March has a portrait of General Lew Wal- ace and a wealth of timely Book talk. It is full of clews to current Books. Tells dieir drift, weighs their worth, gives their lair price.
