The Great Pennsylvania to the West
Before making their arrangements, We
wonld advise all those who contemplate a trip
to any of the Western States or Territories to
consult the many advantages Offered by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Its train service is
quick and reliable, its employees courteous
and attentive and its whole system, Gnclud-
ing switch and block signals and all other
modern appliances) the most perfect of any
railroad in the world. Speed, comfort and
general safety are nowhere else so surely
found, and trip over its line is more akin to
the pleasures of holiday than the irksome
journey of the ordinary railroad ride. Any
of its numerous agents will cheerfully furnish
such information as may be desired, and all
inquiries addressed to Mr.. T. f. Watt, their
Western passenger agent at Pittsburg, no
Fifth Avenue, will receive prompt and full
reply.

Dutch Sign-Boards.

The Dutch have the reputation of
being commonplace and wholly inn
mersed in business. Yet Holland has
produced learned scholars, great paint
ers and noble champions of human
rights. A traveller found even the signs
ON Dutch streets interesting, because
indicative of the originality of the peo-
pie. He says:
1t was some time before | understood
what was meant when 1 read fire and
water for SALE" 1t seems the poorer
people make no fires, but buy boiling
water and red-hot turf with which to
prepare their tea and coffee.
If a baby is born q small placard of
red satin and white lace is hung upon the
door; if some one is sick, his symptoms
are daily recorded on a little bulletin
board affixed to the house, thus saving
those interested the trouble of making
and replying to inquiries.
The country houses are decorated
with legends. The retired gentleman
seems anxious that all the world should
know of his content. So he paints in
huge letters on the front of his house
such sentiments as these: without
Care - big Enough" my Satisfac-
tion," ''My Pleasure and Life" $50
ciability and Friendship Within,n ETC.

the sense of this Senate, as rejecting
the feelings and sentiments of the white
people of Alabama, is most earnestly

support of our public schools, and our
profoundest regret is our inability to do
more for these grand institutions, so in

TWERE VAIN.

Think not to please all men, strjve as you
will,
Twere vain, impossible; for there lnmaineth
still
The man whom nought can please or satisfy
nv noble effort or by full endeavor,
nv warmest impulse, in no way whatever.
OF such as he, set heart and mind at ease
Go on thy way, and take no heed of these,
For so twill be forever.
Let not thy soul be troubled that they say:
He might have done this thing, or that, a
better way.
Mayhap thy way is best, how can they know,
or see
with thine own eyes, what seemeth best to
thee?
Check the quick tear that steals into thine
eye
Because one rudely speaks; keep back the
Sigh
Nor pale thee so;
For they will call it weakness who stand by:
Though well know
IT tells no weakness on thy earnest part
Nor loss of manhood. 'Tis only that thou art
Too eager. for approval; and that what
thou do
Should please all others as it pleaseth you
No more than this thou askest of just praise
So willing thou to do thy best always
But thou must quaff all dregs of bitterness
Before thy soul can know supreme Success

The Way Meals are Served in New
Orleans

Few set tables. You are served in
the morning before you get out of bed
with cup of coffee as good as can be
found anywhere in the world, and some
bread or little Creole pie crust cakes.
There is no trouble about your meals.
There is a restaurant on every corner
or so, or you can have your meals served
hot. and at the most reasonable rates.
AS general thing, however, they do
not "go in heavy for breakfast here.
Your coffee is supposed to satisfy you
until midday, when you take a slight
lunch at some saloon. About six in the
evening you sit down to the big meal of
the day. Supper there is none, unless
you drop in at the theater, after which
you eat something light. Thus, at least,
you will find the natives doing, and
those who have been visiting New Or
leans each winter for years will tell you
that it is the most comfortable way to
live here and best suited to climate

TATTOOING.
A Hideous Custom Which Prevails I'm
Certain Parts of Polynesia.

A Hideous Custom Which Prevails In
Certain Parts of Polynesia.
The custom of tattooing the body for
merly existed in all parts of Polynesia,
but is now generally abandoned, ex-
cept among the ruder islanders. The
process was substantially as follows ::
The artist first drew the desired pattern
upon the body of the subject; then taking
a fine-toothed comb, made of shell or
bone, he dipped it into a liquid COM
posed of the pulverized coal of the can
dle-nut and oil, and placing it on the
spot caused it to puncture the skin by
blow with mallet. Soon blush
color appeared under the skin, which
did not fade for many years. The first
marks were made about the time of
puberty, but so painful, and even dam
gerous, was the process that it was not
finished at once, but the pattern was
elaborated year by year up to an ad-
vanced age. The designs were mostly
arrangements of curved lines, showing
great artistic skill and appearing to the
eye like drapery of fine lace-work
Often figures of men, birds, dogs, fishes
or other objects were pictured. The ex-
tent of the person covered by the tattoo
varied on different groups, but the
thighs were invariably marked. High
chiefs were exempt from the custom,
as were the lowest class of free
men, slaves, and to great ex-
tent women. Various theories have
been proposed to account for the prac-
tice, but the only satisfactory one finds
its ground in religion. The figures of
living objects, so common, are the to-
TENS of the individual or tribe in which
guardian spirits are believed to reside.
The operator is always priest, and the
patient is tabu, ''holy," during the pro-
cess. The primitive idea seems to have
been that by drawing the visible en-
blem of deity upon the person his fa-
yor was thereby secured. Later, this
conception faded out, and the custom
came to be simply mode of ornamen-
tation or mark of social distinction.
The chiefs were not tattooed because,
themselves partaking of the divine ma
ture, they did not require it, and the
rest were exempt because they did not
deserve it.-An9ericGn antiquarian.

A WONDERFUL MIRAGE.
The Great Salt Desert In the Center Oi
Persia.

Persia.
At one part of our route, writes cor
respondent from Cala-i-Maur, Persia,
we got glimpse of the great salt desert
the Dasht-i-Kavia. Let anyone look
at the map of Persia, and it will be
found that there is great space in its
center, which is a desert. We have
been travelling from Teheran close to it's
northern border, at times almost touch
ing it, and one morning we got sight
of large white expanse. This was the
salt crust from which the desert is
named. If there is much of it as white
as the portion we saw, those who have
to cross it are not to be envied. Near to
it striking mirage was produced.
Whether the salt or the whiteness had
any influence my scientific requirements
are unable to determine. There were
few ordinary-looking hills; we passed
close to them the day after. These as
sumed the most fantastic shapes. First
their forms raised in the air till they be-
came towers or steeples; then hori-
zOntal elongation took place-this was
at the top-and the appearance of a
railway viaduct was the result, such as
the Britannia bridge. Every few min
utes change occurred; the horizontal
line broke down in parts, and one hill
became an ironelad ram, the ram being
beautifully defined and a bowsprit
above. The ship had also turret, and
while gazing at it a funnel rose up, tel
escopic-like, as men-of-wars' tunnels
are-aud a great hole opened through
the hull, as if the enemy's shot had done
its work; few minutes more and the
hills resumed their ordinary shapes; the
influence then moved to the right, and
a more distant range began to change;
in this case a number of small peaks
rose up, with larger ones among them.
Some became towers while others be-
came columns, and we could easily
have fancied that it was the ruins OF
temples and other important structures,
the remains of some ancient city, we
were gazing at. / have seen the mir
age in the desert often before, but never
anything like this. Phantom sheets of
water, flat and quivering with refec-
tions, are common, but / never saw be-
fore the mirage of a stream running
down hill till few mornings back. In
this case it was only about hundred
yards distant, and the water seemed to
flow down at rapid speed. The sun
was rising behind at the time, and the
liquid was bright and glowing, having
much the appearance of molten metal
as it comes from furnace. London

A LIZARD OF THE SEA.

The Marvellous Adventure of a Whaling
Crew Up Where the Icebergs Stand.
The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port a few days ago from
the Arctic Ocean, brings a strange
story of the narrow escape from death
of six of her crew. The first officer,
George johnson, stated the circum-
stances to Chronicle reporter, az
follows: On the 10th of last October,
when the vessel was forty-six miles
south of Alaska, an object was per-
ceiyed in the distance whose proper
tions and shape indicated it to be a
monster sea lion. A boat was imme-
diately lowered and placed in charge of
First Officer johnson and five Of the
crew, named Andrew Nelson, William
Wilson, Antoine Niaga, George Marsh
field and Hans Stuten. AS the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
vinced that it was the famed sea SER
pent. When they came within a few
hundred yards the monster made a
dash for the boat, striking out its i'm
mense tail against the craft Several
of the occupants were precipitated into
the water, but were rescued with diff
Guilty. A harpoon and lance were fired
into the body of the beast and it disap-
peared beneath the surface. Half an
later it reappeared, floating on the
water, dead.
1t was secured with ropes and towed
to the vessel and hoisted on the deck.
There the capture was seen to be vii
lainous-looking thing. Its head closely
resembled that of an alligator, while
the body resembled that of lizard. 1t
measured thirty-three feet in length,
the tail alone being nine feet long. The
tail was cut off and brought to this city
and is now on exhibition in a water
front saloon.-jSGn Francisco Chronicle.

Flder TOotS Meets With an Accident, and
Brother Gardner PhiIosOphizes.
AS the meeting opened there was
strong smell of burning meat in the hall,
and the echoes of the triangle had
scarcely died away when Elder Toots
made break for the door in a way to
upset half dozen different members and
bring down another large piece of plas-
ter from the ceiling. He had gone to
sleep with his foot on the hot stove to
thaw out the chilblains. They had
thawed, and the heat had worked down
through five years layers of cement and
got at the real flesh. When the excite
ment had been allayed, and the keeper
of the outer door had reported that the
Elder was down in the alley with both
feet in a barrel of ice water, Brother
Gardner said:
''When [ find a sober, industrious

The Shopping Woman.

There are things more mischievous in
a china shop than bull, and one of
them is a woman with a shopping bag;
and such an one, looking about for
something expensive, costing at least
twenty-five cents, recently marched
past counter on which dozen fruit
plates, price sixty dollars were standing
unprotected. The bag was firm; the
plates were not, and when the crash
came, and everybody within hearing
jumped. do you fancy that she apollo
gized? Sweetly and calmly she gazed at
the excited beholders, and said she,
"Well, | guess don't want to buy any
thing to-day" and walked away.-Bos-
