California hag been most flttinRly termed the "Italy of America." All the delicious balm, tho cloudless sky, and rich verdure of tho great European penlnmtla are duplicated in this sunny land of tho Pacific. Here nature books In the sunshine of her own beauty; and here she has established her own sani tarium, where eternal spring inspires everlasting youth. With the snow- mantli'd peaks of the Sierras upon tho one hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes upon the othor, and a veritable paradise of flowers, fruit and plants between, man can find and needs no lovelier land. To visit such a country Is a privilege, a blessing. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, recognizing the need of a more comfort able and pleasant way of crossing the continent, inaugurated a series of annual tours to California, running a through train of Pullman palace cars frcmNow York to the Paclflo Coast, and stooping at the principal points of Interest en route. The great popularity of these tours demonstrates the wisdom of the movement. For the season of 1897 three tours have been arranged to leave Now York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, January 27, February 24, and March 27. The first tour will run direct to San Diego via St. Louis and Santa Fe route, and return from San Francisco via Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago, allow Ing five weeks in California. The second tour will run via tho Mammoth Cave and New Orleans to San -Diego, stopping at the "Crescent City" during the Mardl Gras Carnival. This tour will return via Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago, allowing four weeks in California. The third tour will run via Chicago, Donver, and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to return by regular trains via different routes within nine months, All of these tours either going or re turning, will pans through toe famous Colorado 4-egiou, Glenwood Springs, Leadvitla, and the Garden of the Gods. Rates on all points of the Pennsyl vania Railroad System east of Pitts- burg: First tour Mil); second tour, 350; third toar, $210 round trip, and $150 one way. For dutallcd itineraries and othor information, apply to ticket agencies, special booking offices, or address George W. Boyd, Assistant General Passenger Agent, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia. Tours to Florida. No district in America presents, during tho winter seaooo, so many varied attractions as the State of Florida. Besides Its delightful cllmato, which 'to ono escaping from tho cold and unaealthful changes of the North seems almost ethereal, Itis frro-emlnnnt-ly a land of Bport and pleasure. Along Its olevon hundred miles of salt-water coast and in its twelve hundred fresh water lakes are fish of almost every con ceivable variety, from the migratory tribes common to Northern waters to tho tarpon, pompano, and others of a more tropical character. Jfowhoro in all our broad land can Uio angler find a greater varloty of gtone or better sport. Here also the most enthusiastic hunter finds satiety. Doer, turkey, bears, panthers, and wild .cats roam at large through the more sparsely settled regions, while birds of all kinds may be found in abundance throughout the State. The more novel sport of alliga tor an 'manatee bunting imay also be indulged in by the snore adventurous tourist. With Ha matchless climate, its orange groves, its rivers and lakes, .its boating and bathing, its fishing and ikuntlng, and its extensive forests, Florida presents omrtvaled attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover of narare, the sportsman, and the explorer, . To this attractive State the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company has arranged four personally-conducted tours during the season of 1897, leaving by apodal train January 20, February 9 and 23, and March 9. The first three tours will admit of sojourn of two weeks la this delightful land; tickets for the fourth tour will be valid to return until May 81 by regular trains. Rates for the round trip, 950.00 from New York, 948.00 from Philadelphia, and proportionate rates from other points. For tickets, Itineraries, and other Information, apply to ticket agent, speoial booking offices, or address Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant General Passenger Agent, Broad street Station, Phila delphia.

There is in all trnly great men a mix ture of self reliance and of humility two traits that are not so contradictory as they seem. Lincoln exhibited both traits in a remarkable degree. Ills nets showed the oun, his words frequently expressed the other. An anecdote in McGlure's Mngnzinn, in an artioln by Ida M. Tarbell, if we lead it nright, brings out the serret of Ibis apparent contradiction. Lincoln s humility impelled him to the exertion which gave him his self confidence. The anecdote narrates the first meeting of the man who was to be president with the man who was to be bis secretary of war. Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M. Stanton were employed as counsel on the same side in a greet patent ease which was tried in Cincinnati in 186B. It was arranged by their clients mnoh to Linooln's disappointment that Stan ton should make the closing argument. Lincoln had prepared himself for the effort with unusual oare, but he ao quiesoed good naturedly in the decision which put him In the second place, Stanton's argument was one of great force, and Lincoln listened to it witli the closest attention throughout Tho narrator of the incident, Mr. Ralph Emerson, says that Mr. Lincoln took a long walk with him after the court hud adjourned for the day. Mr. Lincoln was silent a long time. Then he ex claimed suddenly: "Emerson, I am going homol I am going home to study law." "Why, " returned Mr. Emerson, "Mr. Lincoln, you stand at the head of the bar in Illinois now I What are you talk Ing about r" "Ah, yes," he said, "I do oconpy a good position there, and I think I oi.n get along with the way things are done there now. But these college trained men, who have devoted their whole lives to study, are coining west, don't you see? And they study their cams as we never do. They have got as far as Cincinnati now. They will soon bo iu Illinois." Another long pause; then, stopping and taming toward Mr. Emorsou, his oounteuanoe suddenly assuming tluit look of strong determination which those who knew him best souietimt'S saw upon his face, he exclaimed: "I am going home to study law I am as good as auy of them, and when they get out to Illinois I will bo voady Ifor them!" The Nutritious Marrow. A grateful mother has just told of the almost miraculous cure of her grown up son by the very simple means advised by an eminent physician. It was a case of debility and emaciation that nothing could seem to reach until toe pbysioian in question prescribed m remedy that he has found veraarkably efficacious in treating weak invalids and delicate chil dren. This was nothing more than the eatiog of am unlimited -amount of mar row. Every day a large quantity of the bones containing marrow was ordered from the great markets. : The only prep aration necessary was to warm the marrow sufficiently to tenable it to be easily spreid on bread. 'Then, with the addition of a little salt to render il more palatable, it was ready to do its work of regeneration. Under this treat ment the putient mentioned gained dur ing the first two weeks ten pounds of flesh and strength in proportion and afterward continued to gain steadily until healih and strength were quite re stored. Philadelphia Press. Sixty Ttrouaaad Seeds to the Flast, The common purslane is one of the wonders of botany, as far as seeds are concerned at least A single seed of this plant will produoe about SO seed pods in a season. The average number of .seeds in each of these, by actual count, is 6,000, making 60,009 in all. As far :as we have been able te learn there Is no instance of similar frultfulness in any plant found growing in this ooun ry. A single plant of -either the James town weed ("jimaou".), the butter weed, the -rag weed and some of the -rvines produoe aa enormous number df seeds, but it is doubtful if any one of (ham produces one-four ta as many in a jear as the purslane. does.

In no European country have to many illustrious English dead been buried a in Italy. Mtute and a Chnreh. Any old and beautiful ohuroh gives us all that is moat moving and noblest organism, beauty, absence of all things momentary and worthless, ex clusion of grossness, of brnte utility and mean compromise, equality of all men before God ; moreover, time, eter nity, the past and the great dead. All noble churches give ns this. How mnoh more, therefore, St. Mark's, which Is noblest and most venerable! It has, like no other building, been bandnd over by man to nature; time molding and tinting into life this struo ture already so absolutely organic, so fit to live. For its curves and vaultings, Its cupolas mutually supported, the weight of each carried by all : the very color of the marbles, brown, blond, liv ing colors, and the irregular symmetry, flowerlike, of their natural patterning, are all seemingly organic and ready for vitality. Time has added that, with the polish and dimming alternately of the marbles and billowing of the pavement, the slanting of the columns, and last, but not least, the tarnishing of the gold and the granulating of the saosaio Into an uneven surface; the gold seeming to have become alive and In way vegeta ble and to have faded and shrunk like utnmn leaves. One Sunday morning they were sing ing some fngue composition, by I know not whom. How well that mnsio suited St Mark'sl The constant Interchange of vault and vault, cupola and oupola, oolumn and column, handing on their energies to one another; the springing up of new details gathered at once Into the great general balance of lines and forces; all this seemed to find its natu ral voice in that fugue, to express, in that continuous revolution of theme ohaslng, enveloping theme, Its own grave emotion of life everlasting being, becoming; becoming, being. Contem porary Review, The Blind Girl. She would never see the son rise again, never watch the dawn flushing over that low bolt of firs that marked the verge of the meadow. And her pic tures, the tentative studies of which had constituted her keenest pleasure, they would never be painted. No one but herself would ever know how the sun looked when it sank over a hill field green with the first green of spring, while far distant along the horizon the trees were bare in exquisite tracery against a sky of palest violet. Ah, the days, the dayst She would be "poor Grace. " Her oousins would surround her with tboir cheerful conso latory pity, their qniet, practical ac ceptance of an extra oare. She would never be free again. And then suddenly, in a crash of ter ror, she saw the years, endless, innu merable, relentless from sinister gulf of ' tima Twice 19 was 88. She might live her whole life over again and not be middle aged. She might treble the num- ber of her years and still not be old. I Had no one ever noticed how long life was? Why did no one exolaim at it and I cry against iti Elisabeth Garter in Lipplnoott's. I I Peacock's Feathers Tjnlackjr. Unluokiness seems to be confined to ! the bringing of the tail feathers of Ju no's 'bird into a house. I am not aware that this idea is held outside this conn try, and if it is confined to England I many various oausea may have led to the belief, which possibly arose in com paratively modern times no earlier . than the crusades. J Nothing is more probable than that several ornsaders brought home the gor : geous feathers as curiosities, a strange 'Sight, and ao likely to make a deep im pression. Nothing is easier to conceive than that some misfortune, death from disease, loss of wealth or other "bad lack" may have happened to more than one possessor of the beautiful feathers, nd that they would on that account oon be credited with being the cause. Jl. belief of this kind once started is of rapid growth and very long lived. .Notes and Queries. Want ef Tlow. The man who immerses himself in business that he may accumulate vast (property, or that his family may live luxurious and idle lives, has no right to plead want of time for other olaims. It is not true that he cannot comply with them, but that be baa chosen not to do so. The woman who, absorbed in a sound of gsyety and society, declares that she has no time to train her cbil siren and superintend her household is ottering an excuse as vain as it is false. She simply decides to use her time for otaer purposes. And this liberty of choice belongs to every one, in spite of any desire or attempt to disclaim it Alear xork idger. Aa elderly gentleman living in mid Lancashire was noted for bis inebriety. On one ocoasion, when he hud. been im bibing pretty freely, he was met by the olergyman of the parish in whioh be lived.
