But Maisrie begged to be excused. She
said she was rather tired, and was going of
to her own room very soon. And, indeed,
when she had brought her grandfather his
accustomed hot water, and sugar, and
spirits, and generally made everything COM
Portable for him, she kissed him and bads
him goodnight and went away up stairs.
1t was not to go to bed, however. Having
lit the gas, she proceeded to hunt among
her books until she discovered q little
album entitled "Views of Toronto;' and
having spread that open on her dressing
table, she drew in a chair, and, with her
elbows resting on the table. and her head
between her hands, began to pore over those
pictures of the long thoroughfares and the
pavements and the public buildings. She
seemed to find the rather ill-executed litho-
graphs interesting-so interesting that we
may leave her there with her eyes fixed in

Not Scrap Of Paper Allowed on the Boston
and Albany Tracks.
Boston Herald,1
The Boston and Albany Railway from
Boston to Worcester is about as fine re.
buke to careless housekeepers as can be
read by those who run. Not q scrap OF
paper, not twig even, darss fall along the
lines, or.jif they do, they are quickly re-
moved, as is every other trace OF rubbish.
Walls, fences, the shrubbery by all the way
stations-aIl bear evidence of that immacu-
late keeping which the big road believes in
and maintains at the cost of eternal vigil
ance, not to mention the greater expense of
dollars and cents.
People who haye travelled in England
and on the continent are wont to deride the
appearance OF American railways, but much
has been learned from foreign systems. and
it cannot be admitted now that our COM
panies are behind in the structure or the ap-
pearance of these arteries of travel. The
Boston and Albany railroad has some of
Boston's most priced suburban towns strung
like beads on its iron threads, and 1t is as
much to the advantage OF real estate owners
as it is to the pockets of the stockholders that
this high standard is 20 admirably pre-
served.

They Are Usually About as Harmless m
Baseball, but Not Always.
Illustrated Americana
The usual length of the duel among the
German students is ten minu tes for fresh
men. and a quarter Of an hour for seniors,
unless an artery is cut. Then the fight
comes to an end at once, If the doctor judges
the wound to be sufficiently serious, and the
party who inficts the wound is the victor,
After the wounds have been dressed re-
conciliation is effected; the former enemies
leave the place friends. Indeed, the duels
are not often the outcome of personal ami
mostly. The superfuous energy, which in
England and in America is worked off in
outdoor sports, In rowing, cricket, or base
ball, here finds its only outlet in the duel.
If these duels were always harmless, one
could dismiss them with a laugh, as only
one other form of the inevitable and even
envisble folly of youth. But, unfortunate
ly, there is another side to the picture. Some
times the duel is the result of deep and
deadly hatred, and then it is fought out even
to the death. The comparatively harmless
Schlager is discarded, and in its place the
pistol or the saber is substituted. No silly
child's play here, but grim and wicked
earnest,

Tell any of these persons that by the e1-
penditure of from 10 to 80 cents they may
take their families and enjoy days excur-
sion into the country, and they will be in
credulous. What godsend it would be
for delicate, sickly children of these
thronged city haunts if their parents could
be induced to take day out in the country
frequently
"Where shall we go?" they will be apt to
ask. "McKee's Rocks is now a manufactur-
ing center; to ride on the steamboats, up the
Monongahela costs money, not large sum,
il is true, but more than many persons can
afford; the railroad fare for a whole family
down to Alllquippa Grove, on the Ohio, is

classes more than once in the season.
Where, then, can the suffocating city folk of
limited means find forests, brooks and har-
vest fields for few cents?"

QU MON CEUR EN- MARRIAGE.
When Maisrie Bethune and her grand
father returned home after the little dinner
at the restaurant she went upstairs to her
own room, while he proceeded TO summon
the landlady's husband from the lower deeps.
Forthwith the pallid-faced and nervous-eyed
Hobson appeared, and he seemed to be more
obsequious than ever toward the great man
who had deigned to pstronize his humble
literary efforts, and had even got some of his
verses printed in the Edinburgh Weekly
Chronicle.
Every hot evening, sir-yes, sir-would
you like me to go and fetch you little ice,
SIR" said he, in his eager desire to please.
"No trouble, sir, If agreeable to you're
markably hot for June, sir-theaters doing

"Look here, Hobson," Mr.. Betbune OBJ
served, as if he had not heard a word, s'you
have, no doubt, noticed a young gentleman
who occupies rooms over the way?"

jewelers. Weekly.1
A new scheme to victimize retail jewellers
has been devised in New York. A young
man enters jewelry store, and after push
ing his elbow through the showcase begins
to apologize to the owner for the alleged ac-
cident and argues that the glass must have
been very thin. When he processes the ut
most sorrow for the occurrence the jeweler
demands reimbursement for his loss, but the
man claims he has no money with which to
pay.
As he speaks the victim notices $40 bill
peeping from the strangers pocket, and in
an instant has snatched 1t and is handing
the man SIT in change, saying as he does so
that he has deducted So for the damage.
The swindler appears satisfied and leaves
the store with sorrowful expression on his
countenance. Presently the jeweler takes
another look at his cash, and then discovers
that the bill he has taken was one Of 81
raised to $40.
This game was recently successfully oper-
ated, and when arrested the swindler claimed
that he had committed no crime, as the bill
had been taken from his pocket

BRIGANDAGE IN SICILY.

A Millionaire Banker Who Got OF With
His Life and Money Too.
Brigandage still exists in Sicily, but not
with its old-time success. Signor Arrigo, O
millionaire banker of Palermo, who was
captured by brigands, has been released by
his captors, alive and unmutilated. al
though he did not pay the ransom of $40, 900
demanded. He was kept for three weeks in
a damp cavern and fed on bread and cheese.
His letters were written with goose-feather
dipped into the juice OF mulberries, and were
always detained BY the brigands until they
could find somebody able to read.
Signor Arrigo's jailer was pleasant and
well-behaved; but, although anxious to
serve the captive banker, he declined the
latter's offer of IL, 900 francs and ticket to
America for liberty, alleging that even at
such distance he would not be safe from
the avenging arm of the Malta, or whatever
the society was to which the brigands be-
longed.

A TRIP OUT EAST.
East OF the Old City, Squirrel Hill is q
domain of cornfelds and farm houses. 1t is
easily reached by two lines of cable oars or
BY way of the Hazelwood electric line. The
opening of Schenley Park has done much
toward revealing the charms OF this region.
Thousands of people have expressed their
surprise at the wildness of Panther Hollow
in the park, and the profound depths of the
groves there. But they are trivial compared
with the character of the country penetrated
by Shady lane and Sylvan avenue.
Along the Old Puckety Road" are
woods that mean woods, fields of waving
grain, and cool, green dells down by the
brooks. Old people have told me good bit

now reach in these modern days of paved
streets by leaving the Penn avenue or Fifth
avenue cable cars at their eastern termini
and following Lincoln avenue, past Silver
Lake, on out toward thu hiiltops for a
couple of miles. Out there are still some
big farms, this side OF the city line, and not
few grapegrowers with beautiful vine
yards to make your mouth water. Along
the crest Of the hills here is the water shed.

RECALLING CITY HISTORY.

One of the prettiest tramps-this is not
written for those who only ride in carriages,
remember-that can be found in all Pitts
burg is that which discovered in an early
morning ramble this week. Take a yellow
car on the Penn avenue cable line. 1t will
carry you out Butler street to the lower en-
trance of the Allegheny Cemetery. There
get aboard one of the little horse cars which
runs out through the Eighteenth ward.
Your walking has not yet commenced, but
you will be interested by all you see from
the street cars.
Lawrenceville is an historic old place.
Its United States Arsenal, whose frowning
walls and iyy-clad stone armories you pass,
were built away back in 1872. Allegheny
Cemetery, that vast city of the dead, covers
over 800 acres of heavily wooded and mar
velously beautiful land, and numbers as its
silent population probably $4,000 dead.
Close to its gate is the old English-looking
mansion that was once the palatial summer
residence of John Shoenberger. Further
out Butler street, out where narrow strip
of land divides it from the river, homestead
after homestead Is passed that is stamped
with the names of some very old and cele-
brated families in Western Pennsylvania
the Mcwreys, with memories of the Indian
romance that brought the property into
court here some years ago; the Holmes,
with remembrances of one of the most noble
charitable women who ever blessed Pitts
burg with her money; the Kiers, with re-

toys. Presently the road makes sharper
turn than usual-a great bend, they cali it
and from that point where there are not
so many trees, good view may be had Of
the workhouse and poorhouse at Claremont,
several miles distant on the ALLEGHENY.
