THE SUMMER VACATION GUIDE
The summer vacation is the bright spot in the dull routine of
the year's work. It breaks the monotony of the daily round,
and cheers and invigorates for the strenuous life ahead.
America abounds with delightful summer resorts in valley, 011
mountain and beside the sea. The Atlantic coast line from Labra
dor to Cape Hatteras contains the greatest number ot resorts de
voted entirely to the pursuit of pleasure and health in the world.
One may purchase from Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agents
excursion tickets to over eight hundred of these resorts, covering
all the desirable places from the rock-bound bays of Newfoundland
to the gentle sandy slopes of the Virginia beaches; from the White
Mountains of New Hampshire to the Cumberland Mountains of
Tennessee; in the wilds of Canada, along the shores of the St.
Lawrence and the Great Lakes.
The famous seacoast resorts of New Jersey—Atlantic City,
Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Asbury Park,
Long Branch, Spring Lake, Seaside Park, Beach Haven and others
so well known that description is superfluous—are among the most
popular and most easily accessible resorts in the country.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Summer Excursion Hook, to be
obtained of Ticket Agents at ten cents a copy, or of the General
Passenger Agents Philadelphia, by mail postpaid for 25 cents, de
scribes them all and gives the rates and stop-over privileges allowed
011 tickets. 110326-21

The World's Best Climate.
Is not entirely free from disease, on the
liitrh elevation fevers, prevail, while on
the lower levels malaria is encountered to

I titude. To overcome climate aflections
lassitude, malaria, jaudice, biliousness,

most effective remedy is Electric Bitters,

The Host Common Cause of Suffering,
; Rheumatism causes more pain and suf
• iering than any other disease, for the rea
j son that it is the most common of all ills,
and it iscertainly gratifying to sufferers to
know that Chamberlain's Pain Tialm will
afford relief, arnd make rest and sleep pos
sible. In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has become
permanent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on by
dampness or changes in the weather, a
permanent cure cannot be expected; the
relief from pain which this liniment af
fords is alone worth many times its cost.

! "HZ ORIGINAL LAXATIVE COUGH SYRUP
: KENNEDY'S LAXATIVE HONEY»»TAR
tfed Clover Blossom and Honey Bee on Every Bottle,
The Commencement.
The word 'Vommeneement" enables
orators in frock coats to tell beautiful
young ladies in white organdie that
the extinction of the academic era
marks the "commencement of their
real lives." Maybe you have heard
them and witnessed the thrill with
which the notion was received by
blushing maidenhood. It is a stupen
dous thought, bulging with originality,
and I suppose it is mean to meddle
\Vith it, even though one knows how
that use of the word commenced—or
"began," if you prefer. In the old
days degrees or diplomas were not
granted iu June. They were granted
in September, and the seniors of yes
teryear were forced to reinvade the
academic shades to acquire them at
the commencement of the new term.
After awhile it dawned upon our insti
tutions of learning that the arrange
ment necessitated undue bother, so
they moved the "commencement" ex
ercises back across the vacation and
put them at the end of the year. How
ever, they neglected to rechristen them,
and oratory has gained much by that
Inspired oversight.—Boston Transcript.
A Fountain of Ants.
The house I was occupying in India
was a bungalow, and, as is the case
with many bungalows, the inner walls
were constructed of merely sun dried
bricks, and in the recesses of one wall
a colony of white ants had established
a nest. It was evening. I heard l»e
--hind me a buzzing sound. I turned,
and from a hole near the bottom of the
wall I beheld a fountain of young
white ants ascending. They reached
the ceiling, and then the descent com
menced. They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off theic
wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the
plates, the glasses, even the lamp
shades, were covered with the little
white, feeble, crawling creatures. The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. When, next
morning, the floor was swept the wings
that the ants had shaken oft' filled a
large basket. What became of the ants
themselves I cannot say.—"Haunts and
Hobbies of an Indian Official."
Sly Old Commodore.
"When Commodore Vanderbilt was
alive," says a New York Central offi
cial, "the board of directors of the
New York Central used to find their
work all cut out for them when they
met. All they had to do was to ratify
his plans and adjourn. Yet they had
their uses. Occasionally a man would
come to him with some scheme which
he did not care to refuse outright.
" 'My directors are a difficult body
of men to handle,' he would say. 'l'll
submit it to 'em, but I warn you that
they are hard to manage.'
"The matter would be submitted to
the board when it assembled and
promptly rejected.
" 'There,' the commodore would say
when his visitor came to learn the re
sult. 'I did the best I could, but I
told you in advance that my directors
were an obstinate lot.' "
His Card.
Mr. Newricli, the- dust contractor,
having made a fortune, part of which
lie had invested in house property in
the east of London, wished to rise, like
a phenix, l'rom his ashes into some
sort of society. His golden key, ap
plied to the coffers of an impecunious
aristocrat, opened the way.
Ilis new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were
a necessity, and, as a guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read,
"Harold De Vere, lona House, Ports
mouth Square, W."
Two days later, as De Vere was sit
ting in his dressing room at breakfast*
a servant brought in 011 a salver a
visiting card bearing the following:
"Ephraim Newricli, I Own 23 Houses,
London, K."—Philadelphia Ledger.
Pepys' Kiss.
For more than two centuries the body
of Katherine of France, Henry V.'s
queen, uncovered in the building of
Henry Vll.'s chapel, was one of the
sideshows seen by every visitor to the
abbey. Pepys. indeed, records that on
Shrove Tuesday,' 1001), he "had the
upper part of her body in my hands
and did kiss her mouth, reflecting upon
it that 1 did kiss a queen."—l*. IVs
London Weekly.
A Little Matter Among Friends.
Two boys were in fighting atti
tude, like bantams. Another and a
smaller one stood watching them, wip
ing his eyes, sobbing the while.
"What did yer bit him for?" said
one.
"'Tain't none of your business."
"Yes, it is. lie's my friend."
"Well, lie's my friend too." New
York Globe.

In the Jaws of a Lion.
A lion comes at its enemy at full
speed, galloping low, and dashes a
man standing upright to the ground by
the full impact of its body. Major In
verarity states that "the claws and
teeth entering the flesh do not hurt as
much as you would think," but that
the squeeze given by the jaws on the
bone is really painful. When knocked
over lie was still keenly conscious and
felt none of the dreamy sensations ex
perienced by Livingstone.
Major Swaine, struck down by a
lioness going full gallop, was uncon
scious for some minutes and did not
know what had happened till he found
himself standing up after the accident.
"I felt no pain," he writes, "not, I be
lieve, owing to any special interposi
tion of Providence, but simply that the
shock and loss of blood made me in
capable of feeling it. There was no
pain for a few days till it was brought
on by the swelling of my arm on the
twelve days' ride to the coast."—Lon
don Spectator.
A Woman Governor.
Queens have ruled many nations, but
Pennsylvania is the only one of the
United States that ever had a woman
for governor. A passage unearthed
from Armor's "Governors of Pennsyl
vania," page 120, says:
"On the 30th of July, 1718, William
Penn died, at the age of seventy-four.
By his will his wife, Hannah, was
made his sole executrix and assumed
the management of colonial affairs, ex
ecuting this difficult task with rare
tact and business capacity. 'She be
came,' says Watsou, 'in effect our gov
ernor, ruling us by her deputies or
lieutenant governors during all the
term of her children's minority.' "
Lion and Unicorn.
The animosity which was supposed
to exist between the lion and the uni
corn, as referred to by Spenser in his
"Faerie Queene," is allegorical of the
deep rooted ill will which anciently ex
isted between England and Scotland.
Ever since 1003 the royal arms have
been supported, as now, by the Eng
lish lion and the Scottish unicorn in
token of the fact that St. George and
St. Andrew had at last shaken hands
and forgotten their old difference.
An Explanation.
The passionate rhythms of"The
Merry Widow" waltz floated through
the office, and the boss looked up from
his desk impatiently.
"Frederic," he said, "I wish you
wouldn't whistle at your work."
"I ain't workin', sir," the office boy
replied calmly. "I'm only just wliis
tlin'."—New York Press.
A Japanese Joke.
Guest—Do you know that fellow of
Sayama is telling all kinds of lies to
defame your character? Host—lf he
is telling lies I don't care, but if he'd
begin to tell the truth I'll throttle him.
Guest—Oli, you will, eh?— Japan Cur

Her Raven Hair.
"Some novelists don't know what
they're talking about. Here's one who
speaks of a girl's 'raven hair.'"
"What's wrong with it?"
"All wrong. Havens don't wear hair.
They wear feathers!"— Liverpool Mer
cury.
The greatest quarrels in the world's
history have been between people who
