Going to the Worlds Fair 2
NOW is THE TIME, AND THE READINGS
"scENIC ROUTE" THs WAY.

Stories OF CIlicseoan rap.city. add-
ed to the admitted irc)mr 'ren-si of
many Of the EXHIBITS, detr"ctcd great
ly from the success of the Worlds
Fair during its initial month, and the
attendance, while enormous, fell far
short of anticipations. Now, however
no one need be deferred from visiting
the Exposition by fears Of cxtortion,
or by misgivings as to seeing the great
show In its entirety. The Chicagonese
have regained their senses, and reason
able prices again prevail. The build
ings are finished, the exhibits all in
place, and the wonderful aggregation
of the worlds greatest achievements
can be see to vastly better advantage
just at present than at later period
when the rush shall have set in.
A favorite route to Chicago from
the Eastern and Middle States is over
the "Scenic Lehigh Valley" Division
Of the Reading Railroad System, by
way of Niagara Falls or Buffalo. This
line traverses a region exceedingly
rich in picturesque scenery. Indeed,
it may be questioned whether in all
America a journey of the same ex-
tent will afford to the lover of the
beautiful so many and Sc
diverse and charming views of Nature
in her loveliest forms.
The traveller from East to West by
the "Scenic Lehigh Valley Route"
passes through the sublimely beautiful
scenery of the Lenigh Valley, past
Mauch Chunk, the Switzerland of
Ametica," into and over vast ranges
of sky-towering mountains, through
the song famed and romantic Vale of
Wyoming, the smiling Susquehanna
Valley, and on through the famous
lake region of New York State to
Buffalo or Niagara Falls, whence any
one of several diverging lines will con-
vey him to the Worlds Fair City on
Lake Michigan. Aside from the
scenic beauties of the Reading-Le-
high Valley route, the line is perfect
in construction and equipment, the
trains being composed of magnificent
coaches and parlor and sleeping cars
and supplied with all conveniences
and every approved appliance for
safety and comfort.
From New York and from Phila-
delphia, with connections from every
direction of numerous junction points,
Pullman parlor and sleeping cars are
run through, without change to Chi.
cago, those going by way of Niagara
Falls, passing through Canada over
the Grand Trunk and Chicago &
Grand Trunk Railways, while the cars
going via Buffalo reach Chicago over
the Nickel Plate Line.
Passengers taking the Reading
Route have the choice OF number of
lines in addition to these, either going
or returning. The fares offered by
the Reading are as low as by any
other route-indeed, in most instances,
they are lower. There are now four
through trains. in either direction,
every day, and full details respecting
routes, rates and trains can be had at
Reading Railroad ticket Offices.

Some inter resting statistics have been
compiled by a Frenchman respecting
the different languages spoken in va
rious parts of the world. He states
that the language in which Shakespeare
and Milton wrote was then that of less
than six million human beings. French
was the mother tongue Of at least
thirty million people at a time when
English was spoken by less than sixteen
million, and fifty million of French.
speaking people we're living when the
Revolution broke ont in 1S48.
Between forty and fifty years the
English language equalled the German
in the number of those who spoke It,
and now the latter are left far behind.
German is now spoken by ton million
persons in the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire, by forty six million in the German
empire, by four million in Belgium,
and by about two million in Switzer-
land. German is also spoken by
about two million persons in the
United States and Canada, giving q
total of about sixty millions who use
the German language.
French is spoken by the thirty eight
million inhabitants Of France, by two
million five hundred thousand people
in Belgium, by two hundred thousand

thousand in Switzerland, by one million
five hundred thousand in the United

The Why and Wherefore.

There is nothing marvellous in the
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla should
cure SO many diseases. When you
remember that majority Of the dis
orders "flesh is heir to" are due to i'm
pure or poisonous condition of the
blood, and that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
an effective and radical blood purifier,
the whole thing is explained.
Besides its blood purifying qualities,
Hoods Sarsaparilla also contains the
best known vegetable stomach tonics,
diuretics kidney remedies and liver in
vigorants, and is thus an excellent
specific for all disorders of these or
gans, as well as for low condition of
the system, or That Tired Feeling.

Most Americans will be surprised to
learn that all the Cinnamon in the
United States came from one of the
eighteen provinces Of the celestial en-
pire--most of them from one corner
of that province. In an article in
Harper's Weekly for June 10, Rev.
DIR. Frederick ]. Masters, who was for
nine years a missionary in Canton,
and for eight subsequent years super
intendent of the Chinese Missions in
California, describes these people in
their homes, and compares them with
the Cinnamon of other provinces.

Our Mother Tongue.

If we reverence it as we ought we
will be on our guard not to insult it
by violating its rules. We will not
say, "You hadn't ought TO do this" or,

will avoid that last and worst error of
the vulgar, the double negative. We
will be above misplacing moods and
lenses, and putting the nominative
case where the objective be ongs by
right.
Many people who ordinarily speak
their mother-tongue correctly are at
fault when they have to do with pro-
nouns. Pronouns are stumbling
blocks beyond all other parts Of speech.
ga person does not know what to do
with their hands" they say, or, "One
does not give their best things away
for nothing" If speaking of two per-
sons, you will hear that "Ruby has in
vited John and to supper or,
Lawrence is going to Chicago with
Mildred and l." The placing Of
another name before the conjunction
blinds them to the awkwardness of
setting | in the objective case.
The word "nice" Is frequently mis-.
used. and taken from it significance OF
neat, delicate, dainty, to stand for
agreeable, charming, or virtuous.
Thus girl was talking to another Of
that decidedly Objectionable member
of society, burglar, and alluding to
one in particular, man undergoing
sentence of Imprisonment, said, with
! emphasis, 81 don't think he was nice
young man." A "nice" girl, blythe.
way, often does duty III describing a
young woman, who, whatever else she
may be, is more than nice if she is
gentle, good, winsome, and well-bred,
and whose niceness ought to be taken
for granted.
Lovely in the same way, is ap-
piled equally to a favorite pudding or
a beloved relative. First rate" serves
as qualifying adjective when scenery,
fine clothes, pleasant time, or, oh !!
worst and saddest of misnOmers, the
natural appearance of a corpse are
the topics which the speaker has in
mind.-Hdrper's Bdzdr.

/. Int, oduetion. Of a New Train Signal.

The bell used in the roof of the loco
motive cab to signal the. engineer when
to stop and start will soon be thing of
the past. A new air train signal is fast
talking the>place Of the bell or gong and
already all the passenger coaches on the
Lake Shore and Wabash railroads are
equipped with the air signal instead of
the bell. The air signal is worked by
means of a small rubber or IRON tube
that runs under the coaches like the air
pipes to work the air brakes In the
locomotive cab there is an iron whistle
and when the conductor desires to stop
train he pulls on a short rope or lever
that allows the air to escape and the
whistle in the cab sounds the signal IL.
is claimed that this is much superior to
the bell arrangement, for the reason that
1T works better on long train.
The bell sometimes failed to respond
on long trains, and serious accidents oc-
Cured on that account. The beIlrope
was also handy thing for train robbers
tocut in order to prevent an alarm while
they were looting the wealthso OF the pas
sengers. The other leading railroads of
the country will adopt the air train sig
