Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those inland seas which form the border line between the United States and Canada. And June is one of the most charming months in the year in which to take the trip. For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor Line have no superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial ocean greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the seen try which frames them. The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake, thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Mich igan are novel and interesting features. The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the steamships Juniata, Tionesta aud Octorara, make stops at Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette, Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth. The 1010 season opened on May 31, when the Steamer Tionesta made her first sailing from Buffalo. The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high standard set by the"Standard Railroad of America." An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers, rates of fare, and other information is in course of preparation, and may lie obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Rail road Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book passengers who may desire to take this trip through the Great Lakes and back.

Why the Vases Were Valuable. There's 41 china expert In oue_of ttje large department stores here who has nn amusing little trade of his own on the side. It is nothing more or less than deciding the value of rare china or glass ware broken by careless serv ants or packing houses. "It requires a lot of diplomacy, too," he said, with a laugh. "Not eo very long ago I was called into arbitrate between an Irate householder and one of the big moving firms. She said with sobs that the movers had broken a pair of vases which she valued at SIOO. The movers, although willing to make restitution, considered the sum exor bitant Well, I looked at the pieces and found the value about $25. I told the woman so quietly. 'I know that,' she sobbed, 'but they belonged to my mother-in-law, and my husband will think I made the men do It purposely unless I get a lot for them.' "And It was not until the men had promised to prove they had done It accidentally that the lady was content to accept the $25." Philadelphia Tim OH "It takes Freddie so long to make up his mind."

The technique of phreno-magnetlsm la this: When the subject is in the hyp notic sleep the operator, standing be hind him, places the tips of his fingers upon the subject's head and waits. Soon the subject will begin to act or sing or speak. Any one acquainted with the phrenological system of local ization will recognize at once that the actions or words of the subject corre spond to the "organ" on the head which has been touched by the opera tor. Thus if you touch combatlveness the subject Is very apt to square of? and strike some one or speak of war or a drum. If you touch veneration he Is Is very apt to lift his eyes and pray. I have heard a very eloquent sermon thus Inspired In a subject who was gifted with a ready tongue. Touch the organ of color and he will spenk of beautiful colors. Touch tune and he will sing or whistle. Touch caution and his face will express vivid fear. 1 remember that one subject startled me by shouting "Look out!" and making a leap that he could scarcely have equaled In his waking state. When 1 touched the faculty of caution he thought he saw a snake.—Dr. George F. Laidlaw in Metropolitan Magazine. A Clash With Caged Pythone. Carl Hagenbeck thus described an adventure with caged pythons: "My son Celnrlch had no sooner opened the door of the cage than the four reptiles, as though by prearranged plan, flew at him with wide open Jaws. One of them very nearly succeeded In colling Itself round him, but he defended him self vigorously, and I and a keeper ran to his aid, but It was some min utes before we succeeded In freeing him. Then the largest of the four Qxod himself firmly with his tall on a rafter at the top of the cage and made savage bites at us. When we had thrown a sack over his head we had 10 secure further assistance to unloosen his tall. No sooner had we with great effort got It loose than the monster twisted Itself around Ilelnrlch'9 right leg aud began to twine Itself higher up his body. It was a life and death struggle that then ensued, but by ex erting all our might we at last suc ceeded In tearing away the reptile and forcing It Into a sack." No Gossip. "I don't like these women who gossip about others. Do you?" "I should say not. Now, there's Mrs. Green. She's always telling mean things about her neighbors. And Mrs. Hunter talks perfectly dreadful about her friends. Thank goodness, I never say anything about anybody!"— Stray Stories. A Test of Strength.

HERRING ASKS FOR NON-SUIT Continued Iron Ist Page. for the plaintiff tool the floor to re sist the motion for a compulsory non suit. He spoke for ai hour and a half and was very eloqu«nt and forceful. He addressed himself especially to the task of proving that in the present case the administrator was the proper person to bring suit, citing numerous authorities in support of his argument As to the supplementary agreement, which the plaintiff was charged with refusing to offer in testimony, Mr. Johnson affirmed that it had nothing to do with the case, as the actUn was not based npon it, but on the original deed made to Waterman & 3eaver. In the amended declaration tie plain tiff, he said, had stated that tie mod ified agreement exists, even stating the amount of the reduction and the exact figures agreed upon ss well as the fact of the suspension of the mini mum royalty while the slope was be ing deepened. It was nos offered in evidenoe because it was regarded as immaterial to the case. The declara tion lays the damages based on the minimum royalty clause in the orig inal deed. He quoted authorities to show that an allegation not going to the foundation of a case need not be proven, although alleged. NON-SUIT GRANTED The motion for a nonsuit in the Pnrsol damage oase against the Read ing Iron company was sustained by the court, and what promised to be a lengthy and liard-fought contest was summarily brought to a close early Friday morning. The jurors and the witnesses were discharged and court adjourned. Mr. Herring occupied the greater part of the forenoon. The afternoon session, up to 8 o'clock, when court adjourned,was occupied by Mr. John son of the plaintiff's side, who resum ed in the evening, being followed by Mr. Davis also for the plaintiff. When Mr. Davis concluded Jefferson Sny der, of counsel for the defendant, took the floor, sustaining the motion for a nonsuit. The argument wound up with an address by Mr. Herring. The speeches without exception were (bril liant efforts and were listened to with great interest by the large audience assembled. There was much curiosity to learn what the court's decision would be in the premises. Accordingly at the ring ing of the bell yesterday morning a large number of persons gathered at the courthouse. They had not long to wait. Couit was formally opened, imme diately after which Judge Evans made the following announcement: "We have concluded to sustain the motion for a nonsuit. Kule is granted to show cause why it should not be lifted, returnable to nest argument court." Immediately afterward the jurors and witnesses were discharged and court was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when the case of Com monwealth vs. Harry Deibert, the charge desertion and non support,will be heard. A FAMOUS TIMEPIECE. The Astronomical Clock at Hampton Court Palace. The famous astronomical clock at Hampton Court palace, near London, is the first timepiece of that character erected in England and was made for Henry VIII. In 1540. According to Er nest Law, the historian of Hampton Court palace. It was the creation of Nicholas Cratzer, a German astrono mer, who visited England at the luvi tatlon of Cardinal Wolsey, who intro duced him to the king. It Is possible to learn from it the hour, the month, the day of the month, the position of the sun and the number of days since the beginning of the year, phases of the tnoou and its age, the hour at which It crosses the meri dian and the time of high water at London bridge. The winding of the clock occupies half an hour every week. The weights descend to a depth of more than sixty feet. Like many other things about the palace, It has its legends. It Is related that when Anne of Denmark, queen of James 1., died In tho palace the clock, which was striking 4 at the mo ment, immediately stopped. This it Is said to do whenever any old resident in the palace dies within Its precincts, and alleged modern Instances of the fact are quoted solemnly by the credu lous.—Argonaut. How He Won Her. A man who married his stenogra pher won her through sheer persisten cy. Although It was evident to the wooer that the young woman lid not regard him entirely without favor, ho found It extremely difficult to get hor to listen to his plea. The stenographer refused to lunch, sup or go to the the ater with her admirer. Finding every avenue of approach blocked, tho de termined courter, who possessed some literary facility, wrote a short love story, in which the girl and he were the leading figures. This story he sent to the stenographer every morning for n month and ordered her to typewrite it for him. She dared not refuse to do as her employer commanded, and, realizing through the story that lie would never give up until she married him, she finally acquiesced.—Chicago Record-Herald. In the Swim.

The win was duo to the magnificent hitting of the lorals at timely moments. Garlow, Huntingdon's star Indian twirler, was in the box. He was not hammered excessively at any stage, but Danville was able to solve his cunning at the times when swats meant scores. [Seven safeties Danville tallied fiom the Chief's service, 4 of them figured directly in scoring— Veith's home run in the second which tallied two, Ainsworth's single in the second, which scored Mackert, and Nipple's two bagger in the fifth and Wagner's single in the same session. Three of Danville's runs were earned. Ainsworth had far the better of the Red Skin in the shuffle. Our boy al lowed but two safeties—and that to batters who have some idea of how to muss things up. The fielding of the two teams was very near faultless. With the excep tion of tlie two errors on fairly hard tries and the throw around in the first which allowed Huntingdon's only 83ore, the playing of both teams was a joy to behold. Fast and snappy work was the order, and this was at times interspersed with startlers, most note worthy being Wagner's magnificent one hand catch of Raferty's drive in the fourth. There was a good sized crowd pres ent, the lady fans being in the major ity. The rain which threatened early in the afternoon to spoil the game and many pretty white dresses, slacked np before it had done any harm. Huntingdon tallied her only run in the first innings, due partly to Ains worth's temporary inability to locate ! the pan and to a throw around which allowed Billet to get home. Danville's turn came in the second, when the locals packed the game away in the refrigerator. Wagner got the first pass issued by Garlow. Hagy attempted to sacrifice, and got his base while Wagner was caught at sec ond. With one on Veith pulled off the sensational swat of the day—a beauti ful drive over the center field fence. Mackert then selected bad ones and i walked, went to second on Kelly's ! out, stole third and tallied on Ains worth's Texas Leaguer over the short patch. In the fifth Nipple came in for his second hit—a two bagger—and was followed by Wagner who singled, j Wagner tried for second but was I caught, Nipple scoring on the play. | The score: DANVILLE. AB.

An Affliction From Which Men of Genius Often Suffer. Many men of genius, like the Insane, are subject to curious spasmodic and choreic movements. Professor Lom broso In one of his books pointed out that Lenau and Montesquieu left upon tho floor of their rooms the signs of the movements by which their feet were convulsively agitated during composition. Buffon, Dr. Johnson, Santeull. Cre blllon and Lombardlnl exhibited the most remarknble facial contortions. There was a constant quiver on Thom as Campbell's thin lips. Chateaubri and was long subject to convulsive movements of the arm. Napoleon suffered from an habitual spasm of the right shoulder and of the lips. "My anger," he said one day after an altercation with Lowe, "must have been fearful, for I felt the vibra tion of my calves, which has not hap pened to me for a long time." Peter the Great suffered from con vulslvo movements which horribly distorted his face. "Carduccl's face at certain moments." writes Maute gazza, "is a veritable hurricane; light nlngs dart from his eyes, and his mus cles tremble." Ampero could express his thoughts only while walking and wheu his body was In a state of con stant movement. Socrates often danced and Jumped in the street without rea son. Rattled. A nervous looking man walked Into a grocery store with his baby on one arm anil a kerosene can on the other, placed tho can on the counter and said, "Sit there a moment, dear" Then, holding the baby up to the dazed clerk, ho added, "Fill this thing up with kerosene."—Argonaut SUDDEN DEATH OE MISS WAGNER Miss M.

FAMOUS SHARPSHOOTER. Late G. H. Chase Believed He Killed Forty-two Confederatea In a Day. George n. Chase of Roxbury, Mass., known as "Old Seth," one of the most famous sharpshooters of the civil war, who died recently at the age of seven ty-sis, was a member of Berdan's sharpshooters and Is believed to have killed more Confederates than any oth er man In the war. At the battle of Gaines' Mill he flreil forty-two shots in one day, and he be lieved each shot counted. Once he picked off a squad of the enemy firing a cannon. He kept at his work until one by one he had dropped the gun ners and the big gun was silenced. At the battle of Yorktown he had a special pass, signed by Generals Mc- Clellun and Fltz-John Porter, allowing him to pass anywheiv along the lines where he might best see the opportu nity to carry on hi* work. At New Bridges, on the Chlckahomlny, when the enemy was making It difficult to throw bridges across the stream, Gen eral Martludale ordered him to wadh into the stream to his waist to check this interference. lie obeyed orders, but the long exposure to the water in jured one of his legs, and he had to goto the hospital. At that time he lost his thirty-two j pound telescope rifle, on which he had a notch for every man he believed he had killed. When he got to Washing ton he was Introduced to Secretary of War Stanton, who gave him another telescope rifle, Mr. Chase during the war won the name of being the best long distance shot In Colonel Bei'dan's regiment, not excepting the colonel himself.
