When it comes to long distance railroad
ing, runs off1500 miles and upward, the roads
of the far west beat the world; but for shor-
ter distances, say thousand miles, the great
roads of the east excel. To ride over the
Pennsylvania Chicago Limited from New
York to Chicago is to take the cream Of
American railroading, and that means the
very best in the world.
The train, as it stands in the station al
Jersey City, is evidently something that
the road Is proud of. The engine is big
The engineer Is that kind Of an engineer
who starts train as gently as a mother
rocks cradle, but who, as you will discov-
er when you get there, takes you through
the country on the schedule time. When
the conductor says the "All sboard!" the
porters at the Car entrances say "All off
that's going," as the officer at the gang
plank of an ocean steamer says "All
ashore that's going" just before the steam
er starts. Those who have come to see
friends Oft look at them through the broad
windows as the train glides out of the
station and quiet, but none the less ardent

every truck and wheel and journal box,

has already been inspected, hut they like
to look at the train and to be sure again
that the blossomed pink of the road is in
perfect trim for another 1000 miles run IN
twenty -four hours.
Outside the cars are gorgeous; inside
they are beautiful and luxurious. You
may meet on any big road in any part OF
the country cars as beautiful and perhaps
quite as comfortable, but here is whole
train OF luxury. The vestibules between
the cars are 80 deftly joined that you can
not discover under foot where the plat
forms come together, and the carpeted way
is lighted by a centre light overhead. In
the smoking-room are big. comfortably
upholstered wicker chairs, with broad
easy backs and restful arms. Books If you

play cards; electric bells that will call q

advice to young men:
Young man, 10 you are out OF employ
ment, and can't find steady work at home,
go west, or south, or somewhere else and
take your chances for success. Don't board
with your parents and lay around the
home till the moss grows on your back, but
scatter out into the world and begin on
your own hook to make for yourself for.

a little hard at first, and meet with adver-
sity; 1t will do you goodwill harden your

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, March 1a, 1883.
There are quiet but powerful
human relations, like those Of
parent and child, of which you
never speak, they are SO simple,
so natural. You will doubtless
cry "Absuya i" when we say
that into the same rank fall the
relations between this store and
the public. You walk the street.
Do you ever stop to say, at is
my right to walk the street." or,
For walking purposes the
street is mine" Or do you say
thanks" to the air you breathe.
You walk through the store, do
you question any more as to
your rights here than on the
street? You note in your visits
the touch of the passing seasons
merchandise has its year
equally with the calender or the
Church-but do you not take it
all as you do the touches of sun,
air, or foliage-your own to en-
joy?
You sit in the waiting rooms,
are you any less at home than
in your own library?
This freedom is the store
charm. We mean to make it
more charming. Some charms
are spoiled when mentioned.
Fun is impossible when the wit
is asked to be witty. Happiness,
when made conscious of itself
by speech, ceases. Not so this
quiet power that we call the store.
Isn't this strange talk about
retail store? Perhaps you never
thought of it before. But it's
true.

The origin OF March is traceable 10 the
Romans, who regarded 1t as the first month
OF the year until the style was changed.
The reason for considering it the com.
mencement Of the year was attributed to
the fact that In March decided symptoms
OF vegetable growth were visible. The
Romans dedicated this month to Mars, and
called 1t Martius, because of the great in-
portance they attached to war. Among
our Saxon forefathers 1t was known as
Lenst Monat meaning length month.

The strike In the schuylkill coal region
resulted in the substitution of coke for an
thracite coal at most of the furnaces and
iron works in the Schuylkill Valley. Since
the resumption of mining operations the
coal companies have been aroused To a reali-
zation of the unpleasant fact that there is a
tendency ON the part of the iron mauufact-
urers to stick to coke. The latter have
found that C oke is more desirable fuel
than anthracite. II the use of coke is con-
tinued, il will seriously cripple the anthra-
cite trade. Anthracite is now lower than it
was before the strike, In consequence OF
the glut in all the coal depots. The strike
gave the coke men splendid opportunity
to supplant the anthracite coal, and they
were quick TO avail themselves of 1t.
