A striking illustrate on of the facilities
for travel which now exist is found in
the recent departure of an excursion
from PARIS for Samarcand, city of Gen.
trail Asia. The whole journey is to be
performed by railway except in por-
ton OF Circassia, when post conveyances
will be used, and a short sea trip
twenty hours over the Caspian Sea- Six
centuries ago the city was the capital of
one of the mightiest empires the world
has ever seen and the centre of Asiatic
learning and commerce. Forty colleges
were found within its walls, which now
surround little but gardens. Tamerlane,
the great conqueror, is buried there. and
his tomb is still to be seen.

society ran wild over the originality and
beauty of the conception, and has racked
its brain ever since TO outdo it in floral fam
tasy for weddings. Funerals have become
so laden with expense in this direction that
the significant words, "No flowers" are
added to the regular invitation to friends to
attend these services in many places, and
so light has been the effect of this sugges-
ton that it is thought that it will be
necessary to use a more peremptory
term, saying, BLOWERS refused" The
folly i'll all of this is in the extreme to
which the fashion is carried And, from
present indications, the extravaganza in
the use of flowers is likely to be the most
difficult to check of any that has ever fallen
under the ban of economy. The variety,
beauty, and adaptability of flowers, tho
changes which florists coax nature to make
in even the commonest sorts year after year,
rivaling fashion itself in the domain of
fancy and the pleasure which their pres
ence and possession inspires after time
in even the most prosaic soul, are each and
all passports to public favor that it is USE
less to dispute.

Captain Virgins, the fortunate Eng
hshman who is opening trade route to
Siberia through northern waters, owes
his fame to the correct Interpretation of
a single word. The Kara Sea has al
ways been held to be covered with ice
and unnavigable. Virgins learned that
Kara meant black, and pondered tho
fact till he concluded that sea called
black by the natives could not be covered
by ice. Filled with this result Of in
ductive reasoning, the daring Captain
has sailed the Kara Sea and shown that
cargoes may be carried through it from
England to the fertile lands of Southern
Siberia.

remarkable series Of photographs of lions,
tigers, leopards and other fierce animals,
practically as they appear when in a
state of liberty. The animals of the
Breslau Garden, who have come under the
lenses of Herr Anschutz's cameras, have
been turned out into an extensive arena,
and allowed to accustom themselves to
the new conditions till their attitude.and
motions have become perfectly natural.

Inventions and discoveries always
keep pace with each other. The dis
covery of new ways of making paper
from new materials, such as the cotton
plant, is accompanied by wider openings
for the use of paper. The very best
material now known for wheels for the
most enormous engines is paper belted
with steel tires. Such wheels are slightly
elastic, will endure enormous wear aud
are not in danger Of breaking. There is
no feature Of our times more remarkable
and Characteristic than the increased
uscs Of paper, the application Of appar-
emily fragile material to the purposes
demanding the most intense wear and
service. Its use in domestic utensils and
in the place Of cloth and crockery will
surely follow. The Japanese precede
rs in such art and article for saving
labor as we surpsss tt~m ia labor-saving
machinery.

in fact throughout the State, and it IS
useless for us to say that the bare an
nouncement that the McCaferty Bros.
will be in town next Saturday is sutl-
