SUGGESTION FOR A SUMNER TRIP.

If YOU wish to take the trip of life
time, purchase the low rate excursion
tickets sold by all principal lines in the
United States and Canada via the Nor
thel.n Pacific Railroad to Yellowstone
National Park, Pacific coast and Alas
ka.
The trip is made with the highest
degree of comfort in the elegant vesti-
bule trains of ths Northern Pacific
Railroad, which carry dining cars and
luxurious Pullman sleeping cars from
Chicago, ST. Paul and Minneapolis to
Montana and the Pacific coast, without
change. and special Pullman sleepers
from ST. Paul and Minneapolis to Vel
low Stone Park.
The scenery en- route is the most
magnificent to be found in the seven
states through which the road passes.
Beautiful mountains, rivers, valleys.
lakes and plains follow each other in
rapid succession to delight the tourist,
who will also find interest in the agri-
cultural, mining, numbering, industrial
and other interests associated with the
development of the great Northwest.
The browning glory Of the Tip
through the great Northwest. however,
is the visit to Yellowstone Park. the
land of Hot Springs, geysers and gor-
geous canOns. and to Alaska with its
endless ocean channels, snow capped
peaks, Indian villages and giant gla-
ciers

Almost any nearsighted man could
write an interesting chapter on the
queer tricks which his eyes have
played upon him. Such a chapter
would include experiences like this:
The other day a gentleman who is
not SO very shoItsighted was aston
ished to see man going along Wash
ington street accompanied by red
calf, which was gamboling by his
side. 1t would be impossible to de-
scribe the comical appearance to the
beholder of this prancing calf on the
sidewalk of Washington street The
gentleman looked on in wonder as
the man and the calf drew nearer,
and then he saw that the animal was
merely setter dog. Only an in
stant before he would have sworn
that he saw the beast as plainly as
he did now; but then it was calf,
and now it had undergone u sudden
transformation into an Irish setter.

Origin of the Tomato.

The English word of direct Indian
origin most frequently in use is to
mato. A native of tropical on sub
tropical America, it was cultivated
by the subjects of the Incas and Mon.
tezumas, as well as by the other
semicivilized natives, long before the
advent of Europeans on this hemi-
sphere, under the name of tumatl OF
tomatl. Though introduced into Eu'
rope almost AZ early as its congener,
the potato, it is only lately that il
has made its way into popular favor.
There it was first known to the Eng
hsh as love apple, to the French as
pomme d'amour and to the Italians
as pomi d'amore, and these names
are still in use, perpetuating the old,
widespread notion that its use as food
had an influence on the amatory pas
sions. Rural New Yorker.

NJ F. Minnaugh. the popular Pat

smart dog.
When MI MiInnaugh is short Of
apples or other fruits hs orders the
dog. Frank. a fine setter, to go to a
neighbOr's store and bring him what
he wants, AMI he does
He was Dragging upon the intelli
gence of Frank a few days ago to a
lady friend who is very strong Pro
hibitionist. and said he could give
Frank a note to Hill Shank's meat
market and the dog would go and
get his dinner
The good lady doubted this, and
Mr.. Mimnaugh wrote the note and
told him where to go and for what.
The dog took the note, listening
attentively to Instructions, and to the
disgust of Mr.. Mimnaugh trotted di-
rectly to Frank O'Donnell's barroom.
The good lady thinks even the
dogs are being corrupted. -Asheville

The Crystal Palace.

At one period during the building
of the Crystal Palace some Z 900 work
men were engaged i'll its erection,
and some idea of its vastness may be
obtained from the fact that 9,642
tons of iron were used in the frame
work, besides 175 tons of bolts and
rivets and l03 tons of nails. Were it
possible to place the panes of glass
employed end to end, they would be
found to extend 242 miles. For heat
ing purposes alone there are fifty
miles of piping under the floor and
ten miles more of pipes carrying the
water supply to tine fountains. When
the complete fountain system is in
full go, as many as 1888 jets are
playing and throwing l2o,0 gallons
into the air every minute. One great
display consumes 5000, 600 gallons of
water. London Tit-Bits.

The word copper is generally ad-
mitted to be derived from Cyprus, as
it was from that island that the
ancient Romans first procured their
supplies. In those remote days
Cyprus and Rhodes were the great
copper districts; and even in our own
day new discoveries of copper ore,
especially the beautiful blue and
green ores-from which the metal is
so much more easily obtained than
from the copper pyIites and other
sulphmetted ores of Cornwan-are
being made nearly every year in the

A DOCTOR for Meissonier,s Dog.

Here is a good story of a doctor
and a painters wife. The doctors
name does not appear, but the painter
was Meissonier. Nine. Meissonier
sent for the family physician in a
great hurry. He came, thinking
some illness had overtaken the artist.
But it was not the artist; it was only
lapdog. He pocketed his pride
and attended the patient, who soon
recovered. At the end of the year
tho bill came in, but there was no
item for attendance on the dog
Nine. Meissonier noticed the omission
and told the doctor to charge. He
would not charge; he said he could
not charge, he was not vet. He
was very glad to be kind to the dog,
etc. The lady insisted. Well, said
the doctor, the hinges of my garden
gate are rusty; ask NJ Meissonier to
bring his brush and paint them for
me. Pail Mall Gazette.
