SWISS NOBILITY.
Relics Of Former Days in That Little Re-
public,

Relics OF Former Days in That Little Re-
public.
A few years ago the question was
asked: ''Does nobility still exist in
Switzerland" And no one was able to
answer it Of all the thousands of En-
glish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels,
in summer, not one it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach, whose equestrian statue they
must have seen. has any living descend
ants; not one had even heard of the
Barnese mobility noblese which
holds itself so high that it thinks but
slightly of the British legation.
Yet from the Jura to the Lugano
there is hardly a canton-there is
perhaps no canton-in which noble
families are not to be found. Some of
these. such as the Plantas and the Buols
of the Graubunden. have turned their
energy into modern channels. and made
their fortunes. like the Hausers or the
Sellers. out of the English and the
American tourist. Others. like the Won
Alimen. have sunk into a humber
rank. But the greater part remain in
statu quo. still enjoying. in the towns
or in the country, social prestige that
varies with their wealth and their in
telligence.
For, from the very nature of the
case. all Swiss nobility is IN ore or less
ancient, and is. therefore. still veneer
able in a republic which has not vet
cast off all reference for historic
tradition. The Valais, for instance,
contains a very ancient nObleSSe.
some of whom. as the De Sepibus and
| the De Cocatrix, bear Latin names,
whether or not they claim a Roman de-
scent. And a Roman descent assuredly
| is claimed by the Bernese family OF
| Lentulus, who affiliate themselves to
| that most illustrious house of the Gems
! Cornelia.
| In q conglomerate nation like the
! Swiss the fountains of honor have been
numerous. Some of the nobility owe
! their distinctions to the empire or to
/ the dukes of Austria: some to the dukes
! of Zahringen. the founders of Berne
and Fribourg: some to the dukes of
! Burgundy: some. who We're Huguenots,
| to the kings of France, and some of the
more modern ones even to the kings of
| Prussia Temple Bar.

MODES OF TRAVEL.
Equestrianism, Pedestrianism and Cyclir
Compared.

| Equestrianism, Pedestrfanism and Cyclin E
Compared.
| Three sorts of active tours on land
| and one passive contain more recupera-
tive elements and more sources of pleas
ure to most persons than other ways of
| occupying vacation period; the pedes-
trian, the equestrian, and the cyclian.
| The cyclian, where making a record"
| is tabooed, is healthful and inspiring;
on good roads it is not dangerous; and
| can be applied to mountain regions, and
| there necessitates diversified exercise
| by compelling one frequently to dis
| mount and push or hold back the ma
| chine. 1t is inferior to the equestrian
| in that it can not be used in
| going through the woods, OF
| where horse could pick his way
or in traverslng many declivities
1t has the advantage of being cheaper;
and though broken bicycle is an
undesirable possession it is less SO than
a lame horse, whether the animal be
| owned or hired especially the latter, as
| the liability to an exOrbltant bill
| throws a gloom over the excursion.
The equestrian compared with the
| pedestrian has some important advan-
| tages, and some equally decided objec-
| tons. For very short trip greater
speed can be made. but not for long
one, at least in mountainous regions
| The horse was never made that a good
| pedestrian could not tire out
and pass. A pedestrian is indie
| pendent of roads. With compass
or guide he can cross mountains
ranges, climb adjacent SUBMITS. explore
| lakes and ravines. and reach points in
a day which would require several days
of travel by the regular roads.
The expense for horse if owned
| amounts on the average to half the cost
of person; and if hired both the re-
| spOnsibility and the cost may be trou.
blesome. But horseback riding is de.
| lightful exercise increases the view by
| making the rider several feet taller:
| admits of great variety of speed, OF
| keeping up to coaches, of joining pleas
ant parties, of dressing in a manner
| fit to be seen anywhere; diminishes
perspiration, requires less frequent
| changes of garments: admits of haste
| in bad weather or where nothing is tc
| be seen.
AS whole. having tried both. walk
| ing five thousand miles on such trips
| in nearly every state in the Union; anC
| having ridden on horseback perhaps
| fifteen hundred miles, at home and
abroad, prefer pedestrianisp because
of independence. the healthfulness OF
the exercise, the continued perspira-
ton, the most healthgiving of all con-
ditions when not produced by artificial
heat and when sustained by suita Bile
food and drink. Every part of the body
is renewed, even in a comparatively
short time, except, perhaps, the teeth,
especially if they be false" by such ex.
ercise. Besides, as Ruskin says, a man
can not know any more about a country
than he can see by travelling no faster
than a waikiki. NJ. Buckley, in Chau.

There were four of them-Ernest,
Walter, Henry and Albert-bright
Young fellows, who delighted to tickle
Johns nose with fragrant-smelling
apple. snatching it away when ne APP
peared to enjoy it.
John was a pig in his love for mellow,
ripe apples. The boys thought it fun
to tease him a little, and make MIN
anxious to get it before giving 1t up 10
him.
They really did teach him to play
''hide and seek" with them.
One of his tricks was to sigh and
swell up his body, when being saddled,
if one of the little boys was about 10
ride him.
OF course, the saddle was invariably
turned after they had ridden a little
distance.
Another trick was snatching cap
from their heads and galloping away
with it to the fatherest corner, whln-
nying defiance to the capless young
ster.
One May afternoon, as l sat beside
window. some boyish voices called: I'VE
are going to ride out to Muddy Fork.
John is lazy-dont have enough to do.
John looked at me and plainly saw
fun in his eyes. He made nip at an
apple geranium, and then went along
as sober as judges are said to be.
His expression plainly said to me:
''These four boys seated upon my back
are hunting for fun. I'll help find it,
Ernest and Albert whistled gayly.
Henry and Walter urged lazy bones
along.
Such good horse as he is. 1t isn't
every one that would carry such Il load
of restless boys" was my thought, as
John slowly crept along, head down,
apparently meditating deeply.
In an hour four boys, wet and muddy,
| walked in at the gate, angry and ready
to have it out with the sly old horse.
''What has he done?" l inquired.
"Done?" chorused an indignant quar-
tette of boyish voices. He polled all
along. as if he was almost asleep, until
we got into the water. All at once he
lay down, spilled us off his back, and
just galloped back home"
He did it on purpose, of course he
did. He thinks he can play tricks on
US little boys. He don't dare try 'em
with men,
''rd like to pound his back" said one.
We went to the back gate, and saw
him standing there, looking meek and
subdued, only-I detected twinkle in
his eyes.
He received a scolding, which he did
not heed. few minutes afterward l
saw him in the stable-yard, with four
boys perched upon his back.-Prairie

CHARACTER INDEXES.
Little Traits That Show the Bent of tho
Individual.

Little Traits That Show the Bent of tho
Individual.
Great things are the aggregate of
Titles. Human life is succession of
unimportant events. Half century
age a clerk in New York city was wont
to take down the shutters of the store
at precisely SIX O'Clock in the morning.
While he was taking them down, rain
or shine, certain old gentleman al
most always passed by on his way to
his place of business. The old gentle
man smiled SO benignantly upon the
young man that Il hearty and familiar
.'good-morning'' became natural to
both.
Month after month this mutual greet
ing continued, until one morning the
old gentleman was missed. and he never
appeared again He was dead. Not
long afterward the enterprising and
faithful clerk WAS waited upon by the
administrator of the old mans estate,
and informed THAT his store and stock
of goods had been willed to him.
Attracted by the youths promptness
and fidelity, the old gentleman had in
quired into his character and circum-
stances. and was satisfied that he could
leave his property to no one so likely to
! make good use of it as the clerk who
took down the shutters at just six
o'clock. summer and winter.
Through this legacy the clerk was in
troduced into a profita BILE business at
once. and he afterward became one OF
the most wealthy, benevolent and re-
spected merchants of the city.
a young man responded to the ad.
vertisement of New York merchant
for a clerk After politely introducing
himself and his business, he was en-.
gagged in conversation by the merchant.
. Finally a cigar was offered him, WHICH
the young man declined, saying. y

The Life of a Limited Train.

In answer to the question. what is
the average life of a New York &
Chicago limited train, Pennsylvania
railroad official says that it is trif1e
over six months. and the fact that such
a train goes to the shops to be thorough
ly overhauled and refitted twice a year
will show how careful the great rail-
roads ars to keep up their standards.
Very often the trains show but little
wear and only here and there can the
results of six months use be detected,
but they are nevertheless ordered to
the shops, stripped of their interior fit
tings, reprinted, gone over by the
workmcn of every department that
took hand in originally constructing
them and then restored to the cabinet
makers and upholsterers to be turned
out again practically new cars. Another
interesting point was that these trains
are not patched up with a new car
now and another new car again, but
are always sent out in complete sets OF
cars from the shops, and when this is
done the tram which is taken off &c
give place to the new one is used for
some less distinguished run.-Philadel-

CURIOUS OMENS.
Powerful Impressions Made on Minds Ex
cePtionally Sensitive.

Powerful Impressions Made on Minds Eek,
cePtionally Sensitive.
"Omens" are generally purely mental
or moral impressions, but are none the
less likely to be true omens for that.
When Goethe, during his college life at
Strasburg, was breaking off his rela.
tions with Frederick, the daughter Of
the Drusenheim pastor. one of the ear.
lest of his loves, he had a vision of him.
self riding toward Drusenheim in a
privy councillors dress-a premonition
which some years afterward was &C.
tually verified. No doubt the omen
was perfectly subjective omen, for
even then Goethe was dreading to get
hampered by love match and was full
of ambitions for his future career; and
whether there was anything more in
his vision than a projection of these
ambitions into the future or not, still
it was within himself altogether
that the conditions arose which
separated him from Frederika and
which convinced him that he should at
tain some condition too lofty to render
it convenient for him to marry her.
We should hardly regard such an
"omen" as providential, because we
should hardly consider that the de-
cidedly worldly motives which induced
Goethe to leave Frederika to her tears
and her illness were otherwise than
ignoble mOtives-but we should accept
the omen as true omen, though it
may have been born like Macbeth'S Wis
ion of his exaltation in life, of the ig-
nobler desires of his nature. Most
omens, if true at all. are powerful inn
pressions made on the mind by individ-
ual genius or Divine inspira ton as to
the tendency of ones own purposes and
the ends for which the providence of
God is overruling them. Joseph's
dreams were. we suppose, some of the
earliest of recorded omens, and they
evidently interpreted some conscious
ness in himself that he was born
to be raised above his brothers. If such
omens are of rare occurrence now it is
mainly. we imagine. because character
is less frequently subOrdinated to great
and single purposes than it was in SINH
lar and more violent times. but there
are even now not wanting men whose
personality carries with it some distinct
omen of what it will grow into as life
extends and even of the purposes for
which it is destined on the stage of ac-
tive life In a world in which the in
sects are so infinitely adapted to the
flowers which they are to fertilize there
is nothing surprising in finding human
genius and character specially adapted
for definite work and sometimes even
carefully protected by the Divine ordi-
nances for the accomplishment of that
work as well as wildly impressed with
some distinct augury of what that worl
shall be-London Spectator.

Some writer's still use the French
spelling "Esquimaux" to designate the
natives of Greenland. "Eskimos" is
the Danish form of the word, and it
has now almost wholly superseded the
older French spelling and is undoubt-
edly preferable. None of the natives,
by the way. ever call themselves Es-
kimos. The native name is 1nnuit, and
the name Eskimos, which was applied
to the Arctic nomads, without their
knowledge or consent, is corruption
of a word which is found in nearly the
same form in at least two Indian Ian
guages of British America, and which
