" —lt may be as old as the hills, but it is going the rounds of the newspapers again and may be new to many readers. It is a paragraph showing hoT to tell whether a person was born in the day or night. The instructions are to clasp the hands, inter lacing the fingers. In doing this some people will bring the right thnmb over the left, and others will reverse the operation, but the samo person always does it the same way and cannot understand how any body else could do it any other way. It will bo found that the person puts the left thumb on the top was born in the day time. The one who puts the right thmnb over the left you may depend upon it was born in the nigbt.

The popular excursions to Chicago which are being run by the Pennsylvania Kail road seem to famish exactly what the people want. The first two trains were well patronized, aud as the vacation season is now well advanced the remaining excur sions will undoubtedly attract a much larger number of passengers. A decided improvement in train sched ule which accelerates it so as to deliver the passengers in Chicago at an early hour the following afternoon, places the special train almost on an equality in the matter of speed with the best express trains. The special trains are composed of the C standard coaches for which the Ponnsylva- ; nia Railroad is famous. On ly one night is , passed on the road, and the arrival in Chi- . cago is so timed as to give abundant oppor- 1 tnnitv for engaging quarters before night fall. ' The dates of the next excursions are August 23d, Sedtember 4th. 10th, 18th, 25th, The special train wili leave "Wash ington 10.15 a. m , llaltiinore 11.10 a. in., I stopping at York, llarrisburg, Lewistown Junction, and Tyrone, arriving in Chicago oarly the next alternoon. The excursion rate good only on the special train and valid for return within ten days, is sl7 from Washington and Baltimore, and pro portionately low from other stations. This arrangement also applies to all principal stations on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, and Northern Central Railway between Baltimore and Klmira, Philadelphia and Erie Railroad between Williamsport and ltenovo, and principal stations on the main line and branches between Uarrisburg and Pittsburg. Xo one should fail to visit the Fair with such facilities at hand. How is This ?
