Wetlnnwlny, .Inmmry 27, a spwilal train of Pullman romiMislte, dintnp;, aleoplnj;, compBflmnnt, nnd obsurvatlon curs will lrnvo the hand intno .lorney City Dopot of the Pennsyl vania Railroad bound for San Dli'Ko. California, and conveying the first of tho I'nnnsylvanla Railroad Company' personally-conducted tours to the Pacific Coast. This train will be the first that ever crossed the continent, and the tour it carries ono of tho most elaborate and complete ever conceived for trans-continental and pleasure travel. In charge of an affable and experienced tourist agent, assisted by a highly-accomplished chaperon, this party, without fear of missing train connections, and without any of those potty annoyances Incident to Individual traveling, crosses the American continent with as much comfort and ease as it would spend a week at the Waldorf, stopping, too, at St. Louis, Kansas City, Las Vegas Hot Springs, and Santa Fe, and visiting tholr principal points of Interest. A ')ii(h room, barber shop, and an upright piano will be found on the train, and ovory other convenience and luxury of a first-class hostelry. The great object of this tour Is to escape the Insalubrious cllmato of the East and to sojourn fur a time amid the transcendent beauties of California, breathing its Invigorating air and bask beneath its matchless sky. A grander attraction could not be offered, nor a more perfect method of reaching it. Five weeks will be allowed in this "Paradise of the Pacific," during which tourists will visit Log Angeles, Pasadena, "Ye Alpine Tavern," Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Mt. Hamil ton, and the garden spot of the earth, Del Monte. Returning, tourists will stop at Salt Lake City, Glonwood Springs, Colorado Springs, Manltou, Denver, and Chicago. Two days will be Bpcnt visiting the famous and sublime freaks of nature In the Manitou region. Tickets for this tour, Including rail road transportation, Pullman accommo dations (one double berth), meals cn route, carriage drives, and hotel accom modations going and returning, and transportation in California, will be sold at rate of 1310.00 from all stations on the Pennsylvania Railroad System east of Pittsburg. Apply to tlckot agents, Tourist Agent at 1198 Broadway, New York, or Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant General PassoDger Agent, Broad street station, Philadel phia. Two Weeks in Florida To see Florida is a pleasure; to visit it Is a privilcgo; but to spend a fort night within its borders is an epoch. There is great satisfaction in witness ing the ripening of tropical fruits in their own native land, and a peculiar joy la wrestling with old ocean's waves whoa lakes and rivers at homo aro all Icebound. Ono appreciates the won ders of modern Invention and railroad development upon leaving the neigh borhood of good skating one day and finding himself In tho vicinity of good bathing the next. Yet this can be done, and tho man who prefors hunting or fishing will take his accoutrements along with him, tor Florida extends a cordial invitation to all sportsmen. Whoever would exchange for two weeks the uncertain climate of the North for the Spring-like sunshine .of Florida should take the personally conducted Jacksonville tour of the Pennsylvania Railroad which leaves New York by special train January 26. Excursion tidkeU for thie tour, Includ ing railway transportation, Pullman accommodation (one berth), and meals en route In both directions while trav eling on the special train, will be sold at the following rates: New York, 150.00; Philadelphia, W8.00; Canandal gua, U2.85; Wllkesbarre, 50.35; Pitts burg, 153.00, and at proportionate rates from other points. .

That "the French are a good naturcd people and make easy masters" was Robert Louis Stevenson's conclusion wheu he had studied the various pro tectorates that serve for governments in the south sea Islands. The Marquesas group, for instance, is under French son troL Mr. Stevenson tolls iu "In the South Seas" how he visited the cala boose at Tal-o-hae the port of entry and found it empty. From this noontide quletnde it must not be supposed the prisou was unten anted. The oalaboose at Tai-o-hae doei a good business. But some of its occu pants were gardening at the residenoy, and the rest were probably at work tip on the streets, as free as our scavengers at home, although not so Industrious. On the approaoh of evening they would be called in like ohildren from play, and the harbor master, who is al so the Jailer, would go through the form of looking thein np until 8 the next morning. Shonld a prisoner have any eall in town, whether of pleasure or affairs, be has bnt to unhook the window shutter, aud if he is back again and the shutter deoently replaced by the hour of call on the morrow he may have met the har bor master in the sveuue there will be no complaint, far leu any punishment But this is not all. The oharmi: French resident, M. Delarnelle, carried me one day to the oalaboose on an offi cial visit In the green court a very rag ged gentleman, his legs deformed with the island elephantiasis, sainted us, smiling. "One of our polltioal prisoners an insnrgent ftuin Kaiatea," said the resi dent, aud then to the jailer, "I thought I bad ordered him a new pair of trou sers?" Meanwhile no other oonvlot was to bo S ft 6 lit "Weil," said the resident, "where are our prisoners?" "Monsieur the Resident," replied the Jailer, saintiug with soldierly for mality, "as this is a feast day I let them 'fo to the chase." They were all upon the mountains hunting goats. Presently we came to the quarters of the women, likewise deserted. "Where are oar good ladiesf" asked the resident, and the jailer cheerfully responded, "1 think, monsieur, that they have gone somewhere to make a Yisit" It had been the design of M. Delar nelle, who was much in love with the whimsioalities of his small realm, to elioit something ooinioal, bnt not even he expected anything ao perfeot as the last To complete the picture of oonvlot life in Tai-o-hae, it remains to be add ed that these criminals draw a salary as regularly as the president of the re public Ten sous a day is their hire. Thus they have money, food, shelter, olotbing, and, I was about to write, their liberty. Batter nnd Cream aa Msdielns. One of the favorite remodiua of phy- siolnus is cod liver oil, and why is one of the mysteries of the world of medl cine, wheu ull there is about it is an oil or fatty substance is wanted that is easily digested and quite as easily as similated, fish oil being appropriated with a small outlay of digestive power. Why ood liver oil, a produot of the de composition of fish refuse, should ever have, been chanced upon when butter and cream are nature's supply and at onoe tne most readily obtainable is un explainable. While any one can take cream or butter the consuming of flsn oil requires the fortitude of a saint and the heroism of a martyr, and, aa we know, the oil does not agree with many and is bard of digestion in others. Now, it has been demonstrated that fresh, on salted butter is rather more digestible than oil and is pleasant to take, on thinly out BlioM of feread, and as high as four ounces a day -of this butter can he -eaten with impunity by even deli' cat persons, and cream oan be taken to the full desire of tke patient Where one is recovering from prostrating siok seas and the body meeds nourishment his Xresh butter, It la now asserted, haa no equal la building p the wasted tis sues of the body, and as a stimulant very bot, fresh milk (a without a rival. outside of the use of alcohol, whlob last U better left alone, when possible.

THE MARATHON RACE. The Wild Incitement of the Greeks When Their Countrymen Won It. The Greeks am novlnes iu the tiintr of athletic sport!) and hnd not looked for mnrli sitecess for their own country. One event only seemed likely to be theirs from its verv nature tho long distance run from Maruthnn, a prize for which hn been newly founded by M. Miehol Brenl, a member of the French instituto, in roniniernoration of Hint soldier of an tiquity who ran all the way to Athens to tell his fellow citizens of the happy issue of the battle. The distance from Marathon to Athens Is 43 kilometers. The road is rough and stony. Tho Greeks had trained for this run for a year past Even in the remote districts of Tbessaly young peasants prepared to enter as contestants. In three cases it is said that the euthusinsm and the inex perience of these young fellows cunt them their lives, so exaggerated were their preparatory efforts. As the great day approached women offerod up pray ers and votive tapers ii, he churches that the vlotor might by a Ureek. The wish was fulflllod. A yonng peas ant named tones from the village of Marousl was the winner in S hours and ES minutes. He reached the gonl fresh and in fine form. He was followed by two other Oreeks. The exnrib-.it Aus tralian sprinter Flack and ti.. I'lftirh man Lermusiaux, who had been i'i I lie lead the first 80 kilometers, bail t n ont by tho way. When Loucs cam. i ..to the stadion, the crowd, whioh nuiuir-r ed 60,000 persons, rose to its feet ono man, swayed by extraordinary eltement. The king of Servia, who wu present, will probably not forget tho sight he saw that day. A flight of while pigeons was lot loose, women waved fans and handkerohiefs, and some of tho spectators who were nearest to Lcmi left their seats and tried to reach him aud carry him iu triumph. He would have been snffonated if the crown prince and Prince George had not bodily led him away. A lady who stood next to me un fastened ber watch, a gold one est with pearls, und sent it to him; an innkeeper presented bim with au order good for 865 free meals, and a wealthy citizen had to be dissuaded from signiug a obeck for 10,000 frauos to his credit Loues himself, however, when he was told of this generous offer, refused it. Tho sense of honor, wkiuii is very strong in tho Greek poasant, thus saved the nonprofessional spirit from a very great danger. "The Olympio Games of 180S," by Barou Pierre deOoubertin, iu Century. Good Nature nnd Jnat lee. Foreigners are frequently impres.tod with the extreme good nature of our people in trying circumstances and tho patience with whioh they endnre hard ships and discomforts which spring from thonghtlessness aud injustice. Now, patiouce and good nature aro ex cellent qualities, and the Held for their exercise is a wide one. The grumbling disposition, which fruitlessly oompluins of and magnifies eaoh passing annoy ance, disquieting and nritatiug every one in the vioinity, ia worthy of sincere reprobation. At the same time there are limits beyond which an easy good nature ceases to be a virtue. We plume ourselves upon it andoorapare its sooth ing effects with the influence stirred up by an opposite course, to tho entire ad vantage of the former. And in this we are correct Just as long aa it does not pnudor to injustice. To smile indulgently at a wrong that calls for correction, to bear with equa nimity what ought nover to be borne tit all, to submit patiently to evils that spring from unfairness and to influence others to do the same plainly tend to foster the continuauoe of wrongdoing and to make those engaged in it self satislled and secure. Patient endurance, go estimable under certain circum stances, may under others be an ac-. taal Injury to society. Prom the resist ance to an injurious fashion or custom p to the correction of grave abuses, the earnest seeker after justice is a true philanthropist and demands the esteem and oo-opori.:ion of bin fellow men.

Tiie system devised for trapping this species of the gentry consists of a drop fitted in the floor in front of the pay window and ao nicely adjusted as to be unnoticed ex cept upon close examination. The drop ping of the trap is effected by a knob on the inside and readily accessible to ' the cashier. Directly beneath the drop ' '.. a shoot extends downward about six '. feet and converging to a point at the bottom. Tho sides of this shoot ara lined with spikes, whioh project inward ' and downward. When Mr. Robber steps ' to the window and makes his demand, , the cashier grabs the money with one hand, as if to deliver it, says, "AU' i right, here you are," and with the oth er turns the knob that unlatches the ' drop, when "down goes MoGinty," . wedged into the shoot between the spikes, from whioh no amount of curs ing will extricate bim, and the bank partition, being bulletproof, If he chooses to shoot, it only adds to the alarm already given by the bank's offi cials, which brings the police to bag the game so effectually caught New Ideas. Little Courtesy Among Travelers. "I am sorry to have to say it, "re marked a sleeping oar conductor, "but somehow and I have no explanation for It men traveling are not aa cour teous and accommodating to lady trav elers aa they should be. The men who ask for all kinds of accommodations, when they have their wives, sisters or female relatives traveling with them , and they never fail then to claim every thing in sight are in many esses the men who decline to give similar favors to other lady passengers. As a matter of fact the upper berths in a sleeping oar are the best, the best ventilated, and I think experience has shown the safest in oases of wreck. Still, the de mand is nearly always for the lower berths, because it is easier to get into them. This is particularly so with lady travelers. In my last half dozen trips from and back to this oity I have had more than the usual percentage of lady i passengers, and I have not succeeded in one case in getting any of the men trav elers to surrender a lower berth for an upper berth. The men, being more ex- perienoed, secured the lower berths and refused to give them up." Washing ton Btar. A Bird That Shaves Itsslf. The lammergeyer, or bearded vol tore, found throughout the whole mountain -chains of the old world, actually shaves himself. The expert barber, who has for bis customers orusty millionaires, could not ply tho keen edged razor to the stubby board of his particular pa tron more deftly than the monaroh of the mountain tops prunes his own bris tly beard. The head of the vulture is olothedl. with foathovs, and from the sides of the-, under mandible proceeds a row of black v bristles. From this peculiar projection of feathers the bird derives his name. A , layer of. similar bristles begins at the eye and covers the nostrils, forming a fleecy mustache. With his strong and sharp claws, : which act as the razor, he begins to -trim bis fibrous whiskers with great . care and dexterity. He does this with great regularity, and soon the downy beard and mustache give way to a lull; growth of bristly feathers. San Fran-, oisco Examiner. All That Was Laeklng. He had been away on a business trip for quite a long time and had brought bis wife a handsome fan on his return. "It's just perfectly lovely, Hsrry," he said.

"How could I help liking anything so pretty T" she asked, and then she add ed, with a sigh, "I only wish I could carry it some time." "Why can't yon?" be demanded. "No gown to go with it, "she an swered promptly. "There ought to be a, gown to match, or at least one that, wouldn't look shabby beside it, if" She got the gown.
