BIS FROM
FAR AND NEAR
"His Worship, Mayor of Harris
burg," wan tlio address on one of tlie
envelopes bearing letters to the police
station Tuesday, containing earnest
inquiries concerning many men who
are believed to have been billed iu the
Lochiel wreck ou cue morning of
Thursday, May 11.
; This letter was written by Katherine
Hollyer, of No. 703 Beily street, Buf
falo, N. Y., for her sister, Mrs. F. E.
'1 oinpkius, of Ottawa, Ontario, Can*
a 1:», which is the customary way of
a t Iressinz communications to Lord
Mayors of cities of that country.
The latter makes inquiry about
Frank E. Tompkins who was believed
to have been one of the passengers of
the ill-fated Cleveland and Cincinnati
i'xpress. The auxious woman wauts
to kuow whether the b"dy of a man by
that name has beeu found in the wreck
as he has not been heard from since
the wreck.
Another equally anxious inquiry
came to the police station Tuesday
from William McDonald, of No. 2U2
liuclid avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, con
cerning John Graham, who left Olas
now for this country, arriving at. New
Vork on May 10 ou the steamer As
toria. He is described as being 30
years old, five feet seven inches iu
height with a light moustache. He
had a handbag containing underwear
and two brushes and a hteel stamp
with the iuitials "J. X. G."
Several days after the wreck the ac
cumulation ot articles taken from the
wrecked train were sorted out at the
Union station, an 1 a detailed accouut
of the contents of each grip and hanrt
sitchel was published. Several of tie
* nail hand satchels contained under
wear and two small hand brushes, but
there were no steel stamps in the bag.
This satchel was badly broken and the
clasp had been knocked o'T.and it may
bo that the steel stamp waa lost irom
the hag in the wreck.
Another communication received by
the Mayor ou Tuesday, was fiora Mrs.
William Lennoii, inquiring after her
husband William Lonnon a government
emplove who has not been heard troni
siuco the fatal wreck. The letter was
addressed from lioauoke.Va ,and stat
ed that Mr. Lennou was on his wav to
Hnrri*burg from Now York City,
about the time of the wreck.
Others letters, almost t-iunlar have
been received almost daily by Under
taker Samuel Speese. who had charge
of the temporary morgue at No. I*B
Chestnut street, after the wreck, and
Coroner Geor„»o C. Krauso has reoeiv
el a number of letters from people in
quiring after a number of friends and
relatives who have not been heard
from since the morning of the wreck.

suggested shillohiliK as weapons. "That

the right to choose the arms, but chiv

upon a weapon with which Frenchmen

Irishman coolly. "Very well, we'll tight

EASTER IN JAPAN.
rh« C lierry Dlowaom Featlval, Reiur
rectlon of Frulta and Flotvera.
liy reaching Japan Just at the liegln
niiig of spring you will find yourself in
the midst of the native Easter season,
which in reality is the cherry blossom
festival. Because it comes at the time
that Kant or is celebrated in the western
countries it is given that name.
The dawn of Easter in Japan is a
dazzling and fascinating sight even to
an American, used as he is to the great
display of flowers and bright and dain
ty costumes that come out on that day
in all the cities in the United States to
welcome the season.
The Japanese are like a lot of happy
school children let out to play, happy in
their religious flower festival. None of
the church ceremonies has any part in
their celebration, and, although the
cherry festival commemorates the res
urrection, it is the resurrection of the
fruits and flowers.
All Japan rejoices. The children have
a day set apart for their special delec
tation, and the grown people do little
but seek to make the young people hap
py. Along the roadways, inch deep
with fallen cherry petals, the children
draw immense movable temples. Some
times more than a hundred little girls
dressed in gorgeous hues are in line,
pulling on the ropes attached to these
chariots, on which the boys, dressed in
Wue and white togas, ride and play on
their musical Instruments, while the
cleverest of their number in masked
faces render religious dramas on the
elevated platform in front of the char
iot.
The streets are choked with thou
sands of grown people, who give up the
day to witnessing these processions,
and •as the chariot and the children
pass down a carpeted avenue of cher
ry trees, and the gentle spring breeze
blows, a constant shower of pink per
fumed snow falls from the cherry trees
and everything becomes hazy in the
entrancing mist of a pink snowstorm
of soft petals. All nature seems to take
part in this Easter festival of the Jap
anese children.
"Cherry blossom Sunday" at Uyeno
park, in Tokyo, is one of the prettiest
sights in all Japan. The avenue of cher
ry trees going up from the town forms
nil exquisite arch of pink boughs, under
which the i>eople throng purely on
pleasure bent.
The tea houses have spread their
best red blankets on the matted plat
forms, which serve for seat and table.
Carriages and jinrlklshas roll by, their
occupants dressed in their best, the
women in exquisitely delicate crapes,
because it is the time of spring and
flowers, and the light and dainty col
ors are most appropriate. Under the
trees are light hearted picnic parties
seated on their blankets and lunching
on rice sandwiches.
Restraint is thrown aside during
"cherry time," and at Mukojlma, where
a double avenue of cherry trees, the
most magnificent display of these love
ly blossoms In Tokyo, stretches along
the far bank of the Sum id a river be
side the road, the wildest carnival
reigns. Mummers in all sorts of fan
tastic costumes, in which red and white,
the colors of spring and happiness, pre
dominate, dance in and out among the
tea houses that stand along the bank
under the trees. The river is gay with
roofed pleasure bonts, and the sound
of the geisha's sainison is added to the
general clamor of rejoicing and merry
iua king.—Washington Star.
LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
louic of tlic Del lit li t n of Cainpluir Oat
In the Ilockit'M.
About dusk you straggle in With
trout or game. The camp keeper lays
aside liis mending or lils repairing or
his notebook and stirs up the cooking
fire. The smell of broiling and frying
and boiling arises in the air. By the
dancing Hume of the cainpflre you eat
your third dinner for the day—ln the
mountains all meals are dinners, and
formidable ones at that. The curtain
of blackness Is drawn down close.
Through It shine stars, loom mountains
cold and mistlike in the moon. You tell
(lories; you smoke pipes. After a time
fhe pleasant chill creeps down from the
eternal snows. Some one throws an
other handful of pine cones on the fire.
Sleepily you prepare #t>r bed. The pine
cones flare up, throwing their light in
your eyes. You turn over and wrap the
soft woolen blanket close about your
chin. You wink drowsily, and at once
you are asleep. Late in the night you
awaken to tind your nose as cold as a
dog's. You open one eye. A few coals
mark where the tire has been. The mist
mountains have drawn nearer; they
seem to bend over you in silent con
templation. The moon Is sailing high In
the heavens. With a sigh you draw the
canvas tarpauJln over your head. In
stantly it Is morning. From"The
Mountains," by S. E. White.
GAMBLING IS VULGAR.
It IM nil Irrntfonul nnd Ignorant
StruKKle For Money.
All gambling Is vulgar. Call It what
you will, assign for it whatever mo
tive you please, it is an irrational, an
ignoble struggle for mouey.
Money got for nothing on the turning
of a card or the revolution of a wheel
bringeth good to 110 man, not e\cn to
hint who wins it. And to him that
loscth? Sometimes perdition, often,
very often, that sinking sensation, that
tired feeling, even where the value loss
is immaterial, which follows futile ef
fort and says as pialn as whisper in
the ear, "The world's against you."
Gambling, like everything else, is rel
ative. The sin lies in the overplay,
with Its collateral vices, chief amoug
them improvidence. The reigning sov
ereign, who lias only his money to lose,
nnd plenty of that, is not to be classed
with the banker or the
dential.clerk or secretary, who has ev
erything at stake, character included,
though each plays for the same end
that Is, the diversion and excitement.
Asked what was the greatest pleasure
in life, Fox said, "Winning at cards,"
and*the next, "Losing at cards." There
was a gambler for the love of It, and
yet Fox played never for high stakes
after he was forty, if he played at all
A Can© of Quality*
A clever little gentleman well known
in the scientific world was one day
standing with half a dozen tall men
when one of them turned to him and
said that had not seen him before,
as he was so very small.
"Very likely," replied the little gen
tlenian. "I »ID like a sixpence amoug
six copper pennies—not easily per
ceived, but worth the whole six to

SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the Skin* of Varloua
Aquatic Animal*.
I.on tli or is prepared from the bides of
nearly sill aquatic aniniais, principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alllg.itor and
walrus. The use of these hides is al
most as old as man himself, and tiloy
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses tow' ! ii tlry
could be put after bei.. ( ; p.p.treJ as
leather. At the time of the ltussian
occupation of Alaska tlioy made great
use of walrus hides. Furs were usual
ly wrapped up in these skins, and when
they reached Kiachta, China, the great
mart of those days, the skin was sewed
over chests of tea. On arrival at Mos
cow the soundest portions were re
moved, cut up and stamped into ko
pecks and a variety of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Alas
ka for a time. The Russians also made
harness of walrus leather, while the
natives of Alaska used the skin as a
covering for their boats.
A queerer kind of leather, liowever,
comes from the bodies of lishes. Au
extremely line quality of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin of an ugly tish called the angel
fish. The sword grips of the German
army are made from shark leather,
which Is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped fig
ures. This skin comes from a North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides, but In vain. Unlike animal leath
er, tish leather is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore it is ideal for
sword grips, as, no matter how much
the hand may perspire, the grip re
mains hard and dry.
Leather Is made from the skin of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon,
which is exceedingly tough and is used
in making laces for joining leather
belting, lu Canada the skin of a spe
cies of siluroid Is used In making
gloves.

writes ail or most of his correspond

The garcon brings him the black port
folio stocked with letter paper and en
velopes and pens and Ink. Noti'e client
may use up as much paper and en
velopes as he pleases. These are pro
vided by the staff of waiters at their
own charge, not by M. le Patron, the
landlord—a curious custom. Notre
client is welcome to sit there all day
long over his newspapers and corre
spondence and his glass of bordeaux
or his "Ittit chaud" (perhaps with a nip
of ruin in it when the weather Is cold).
The counter is reserved for waiters
and for XI. le Patron's wife or daugh

ceiving orders.
The "habitues," "nos clients" or pass

at their neat, scrupulously clean little
tables. Outside the chairs uud little
tables are arranged in rows, three,

THE PECULIAR LOON.
Tbla Bird Han m Hide About ss Tougb
UN That of au Ox.
The loon differs from other birds ill a
number of ways. I have reason tj
think that many people are unaware
of some at least of these peculiarities.
The loou lias a hide as tough as an ox,
and its feathers cannot be plucked
without lirst m aiding the bird as you
would a liog. This incident will glv«
pome idea of the toughness of the hide:
About thirty-five years ago, when 1
was living in Michigan, a loon was
shot at with a shotgun industriously
all summer without apparently doing
hiui any harm. In the fall I killed hi:u
with a rifle Just to convince the people
that a loon could be shot and killed,
lie had many times been shot at with
u rifle by the same people who had
used the shotgun, and they had become
convinced that he dived so quickly that
he dodged the shot in that way. I hail
seen them shoot at him a number of
times, and I could see the splash of
bullet or shot in the water before the
loon dived. I ridiculed the idea of the
dodging, and that led to my shooting
him to support my contention. When 1
skinned the bird I found and counted
over a hundred No. t> shot, ail of tile 111
stuck to the Inside of the hide and so
doing him no permauent harm. It is
remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained a broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon is
that after the chicks are hatched, if the
mother wishes to move far, she will
make a shallow dive and come up un
der her babies and swim olf with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
in photographing her under such condi
tions may well claim the pennant. On
ly once have I seen a loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
I lived in the part of Michigan where
then there was the best chance imagi
nable to watch loons. Now the timber
has been cut off around most of the
lakes, and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist.
Although I have only once seen a
loou shoulder her babies, 1 have seou
her swimming with them on her back
many times. Once one swam within
twenty feet of me and never suspected
my presence.
One of their calls when sitting on the
water for volume beats that of any
other bird or beast that I know of. I
have heard them in tiie night when
they were more than five miles distant,
for they only make that kind of call
from the water, and there was no lake
in that direction short of that distance.
To say that the loou Is a very interest
ing bird is as mild as I can express it.

principal responsibility of the business
rests, came to attain that position
while not yet thirty years of age.
"Purely and simply on his own mer

years ago and told me that lie had just
finished school and was looking for a
position. I happened to have a posi

and started him in at s"> a week. Ills
rise from that position to the one that

the fact that he was always accurate

A VERSATILE WOMAN.
Some of the TIIIIIRN For Which
Phoebe Down Wan Famed.
Phoclic BOWII died something over
half a century ago, aged eighty. This
extraordinary woman, who lived with
her mother in a cottage nearly oppositf
the' High Tor, at Matlock Bath, Ens
land, could walk nearly forty miles a
day when young, could lift a hundred
weight in each hand and carry fourteer
stone. She undertook any kind of man
ual labor, as holding the plow, driving
the team, thrashing wheat with the
llail and thatching the stacks. Her
chief avocation was breaking horses at
a guinea a week. She always rode
without saddles and was considered
the best judge of horses and cows in
the peak.
But I'hoebe had also a liking for
sport and for art. She was a good shot
and carried her gun 011 her shoulder.
She was fond of Milton, Tope and
Shakespeare and performed 011 several
instruments, including the tlute. violin
and harpsichord, and played the bass
viol in Matlock church. She was a car
penter. mason and smith and maiuly by
her own hand labor built another room
to the cottage for the reception of a
harpsichord which a lady presented to
her. At her own request a local cler
gyman wrote her epitaph, and here
it is:
Here lies romantic Phoebe,
Half Gunnymede, half llcbe;
A maid of mutable condition,
A Jockey, cowherd and musician.

AS A WOMAN LUNCHES,
Men IN That Are Ordered Merely by
Force of Sufficed!loll.
Lots of women order luncheons
merely by force of suggestion. If you,
don't think so, wutcli the wavering
ones sit down, look on the card, glance
at their nearest neighbor's plate jind
then order whatever the latter happens
to be eating. In a crowded luncheon
room on matinee day one little round
table seating four women bore out this
statement. Two of the women refresh
ed themselves on cake and coffee. The
third was putting away a savory clam
chowder. A fourth came in, observed
the cakes, gazed appreciatively on the
chowder and requested the latter. The
first chowderer finished and departed,
and the woman who immediately took
her place looked around the table and
ordered cakes and coffee.
By tills time the lirst two cake and
eolTceitcs had linished, and an uncer
tain looking woman sat down on that
sk!e of the table. She looked at the
two opposite, glanced at the card and
said, "Bring me a clam chowder."
Tills is a fact, and there is every rea
son to suppose that nothing but coffee
and cakes and chowder was served at
that table all the afternoon or at least
as long as wavering ladies sat down
at it.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Density of Water.
A strange fact in connection with
water is that its point of greatest den
sity is not the freezing point, as with
all other liquids, but between the two
extremes of its existence as a liquid,
at 1W.2 degrees F. From this point wa
ter necessarily expands with either de
crease or increase of temperature.
At the boiling point the conversion
of the liquid into gas steam Is naturally
accompanied by an enormous expan
sion. its volume increasing 1,700 times.
But the behavior of water at the freez
ing point is as remarkable, owing to
the peculiar crystalline formation of
Ice. The process of expansion is uni
form from .'19.2 decrees downward to
32 degrees. When that point is reached
the temperature remains stationary
during the loss of latent heat, but the
expansion continues until, when ice
becomes visible, it is seen to be bulk
ier than tbe water from which it wm
formed.

Tired
Nervous
[When you feci languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low—your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body arc
working poorly, or not at all,
and 3'ou are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the im
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with Dr.
Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
"My wife suffered with nervousners
previous to a recent attack of typhoid
fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse, and could
hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when tho least excited.
She trai very riluesa at night, and
never had a good night's rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. Dr. Miles' Nervine was recom
mended by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a good night s
rest, and at tho end of the first week's
treatment she wits wonderfully im
proved. Continued use of Nervine has
completed her entire cure."
