So beautiful is the scenery of California
that Nature must have expended more
than her usual energy in its creation, and
especially is this true during the months
of March and April, when the rainy
season has passed and flowers bloom
everywhere. Fortunate, indeed. is the
person who can exchange the wintry
climate of the East for the flower perfum-
ed and healthful atmosphere of California,
and no better method of doing this can be
had than by participating in the second
Golden Gate" tour, organized under the
perfect personally. conducted tourist sys-
tenn of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
The tourists will leave New York and
Philadelphia March II, 1896, and return
to those cities May 7, allowing four and
one.half weeks In California.
A new feature to the magnificent train
used for these tours in previous years is a
through Pullman compartment car.
The car, which will be the very best
that the Pullman Company can supply,
will contain nine inclosed compartments
two drawing rooms and seven state
rooms-and will be attached to the
special train at Jersey City and run
through to San Francisco.

A crisis seems to have been reached in
the Salvation Army in this country, as
indicated by the sudden reca II of Com
mander BallinRton Booth and his talented
wife from command of the American
branch. A large meeting was recently
held in New York to protest against such
a change, and the protest was forwarded
to London, but Notwithstanding the fact
that some of the most prominent leaders
in religious and philanthropic movements
Joined in the protest, it was not eeded,
and other mem mbers of the Booth family
have come over and relieved Ballington
Booth of bis command, without assigning
any reason for the change other than that
it is according to the routine of the organ
ization, and adds "that the General could
not show partiality to a mem ber of his
own family, by enabling him to obtain
Tor himself more agreeable place or
greater popularity than others no less
devoted and experienced could attain. :"
This last sentence betrays the secret.
bailington Booth was becoming too pop
ular, and, as the New York Sun says, sit
is obvious that the real reason for the
change is that under the leadership of
adopted citizens the Salvation Army has
become American in spirit, and Gen.
Booth is determined to force it back un.
der English influence strictly" 1t is
undesirable that such a transform alton
should occur, and split is now imminent,
with Ballington Booth becoming the head
OF an independent American army. 1t
would rally American influence and sup.
port entirely.

1t is very curious to observe the pecul-
lar way in which these birds learn their
lessons. When fresh word is being ac-
qaired, at first Though not always) the
word is miscalled, and the parrot will
constantly repeat it, just like a child
practicing q lesson, becoming perfect by
degrees, Then, when quite mastered, the
word Is put away, as it We're, at the
back OF Its memory, to be brought for
ward when required, two or three years
sometimes elapsing before the occasion
arises. Some easy words it is found
quite useless to endeayor to teach the
bird; for instance, for years the words
'Ihank you" have been said to her when
giving her food, but she never has once
uttered them on receiving 1t. On one
occasion though, on seeing some delica-
cy being given to the cat, she remarked
in a reproving voice, "Thank you. !"
"Good morning" and Good night" are
constantly said at the proper times, but

hesitates which to say sometimes, end
