All for Kindness.

There is kind-hearted old woman who
kes in Louisville, and she passes her time
I the streets on the lookout for ladies
hose skirts are coming down. Sometimes
Br anxiety leads her astray, and she sees
| imagination skirts falling which are real
perfectly secure. But she sweetly says,
b the same, my dear, your skirt is fall.
b; If you will step into this doorway I will
b It for you" Ladies in general object to
bling skirts in the streets; the very thought

Ice reminded her of her own daughter.

Rkward It would not of course do to offer

old lady, who talks 80 glibly Of her pro-

Marvellous Speed.

In reviewing book on telegraphy Nature
says: "Interesting information is given as
to rates of working. Some of these show
very wonderful results of practice. For
example, we learn that an experienced ope
rator usually punches forty-dve words per
minute. Now, word contains As letters,
and If we take it an average letter contains,
including the space that divides 1t from the
next letter, four dots, We find that at this
rate of punching, 1875 dots per second arr
made. If three more dots could be made
per second, the strokes with the mallets
would nearly cease to be heard distinct one
from the other, and a deep musical note
four octaves below the middle G on the
pianoforte wouldbe the result. We wonder
whether this could be done we're the ope-
rator to punch few times over some SEN
tence that he knows by heart"

ments for extra travel during the Centen-
nial. Forty extra trains will be run from
Philadelphia daily, while there will be ex-
ira trains run from Harrisburg, Reading,
Williamsport, Pottsvill and points along
the Lehigh Valley Road direct to the Gen.
tennial grounds. For the proper accommo-
dation Of this travel q large increase In
rolling stock was made necessary. About
twenty locomotives, especially adapted to
the business, arranged to run either way,
without the trouble Of turning, were built,
and 100 additional passenger cars, with all
the latest Improvements, were built. The
depot accommod odatiops on the Centennial
ground consist of platform l 800 feet in
length, with covered shed work, $50 feet
long, the depot front of 100 feet long. It
was the original intention of the company
to put up . handsome depot, but the Park
Commissioners refused to grant the neces-
sary permission, and the platform and shed
had to be substituted There aretwo waiting
rooms---one for ladies and one for gentlemen
retiring rooms, telegraph offices, for rail-
road and genrnal business, and ticket
offices. The local and foreign tickets will
be kept in separate departments. About
1000 forms Of tickets, to all parts Of the

to these, during the summer season, there
will be on sale tickets for 451 different ex-
cursions over the route most popular with
