Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the Winter season, so many varied attrac-
tions as the State of Florida. Besides
its delightful climate, which to one
escaping from the cold aud unhealthfu1
changes of the North seems almost
ethereal, it is pre-eminently land of
sport and pleasure. Along its eleven
hundred miles of saltwater coast and in
its twelve hundred fresh-water lakes are
fish of almost every conceivable variety,
from the migratory tribes common to
Northern waters to the tarpon, pompano,
and others of more tropical character.
Nowhere in all our broad land can the
angler find greater variety of game or
better sport.
Here also the some enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkey, bears, pam
thers and wildcats roam at large through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abun-
dance throughout the State The more
novel sport of alligator and manatee hunt
ing may also be indulged in by the more
adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its bathing
and boating, its fishing and hunting, and
its extensive forests, Florida presents
unrivaled attractions for the valetudi-
marian, the lover of nature, the sports
man, and the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Co. has arranged four per-
sonally conducted tours during the season
of 1897, leaving by special train January
26, Feb. 9 and 23, and March 9. The
first three tours will admit of sojourn of
two weeks in this delightful land; tickets
for the fourth tour will be valid to return
until May 81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, 5000 from
New York, $500 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rates from other points.
For tickets, itineraries, and other infor-
nation. apply to ticket agents, special
booking offices, or address Geo. w. Boyd,

and Muncey's outfit and the Apaches
ran foul of each other, neither party
wanted to be burdened with boy.
But the Apaches were between him and
the old post. He's had only one place
to run for, and that was the canyon.
Muncey's outfit probably reached it
almost at the same time, and he had to
hide from both. By this time, it's my
belief, he's stolen out and made his way
back to the old post"
1t was nearly midnight when Cullen,
riding at brisk walk at the head of
the column, pointed silently to the
huge black bulk of precipice overhang-
ing the Sandy few yards ahead. 1t
was SO dark that only by giving the
horse his head and an occasional prod
with the spurred heel the leader
could follow the winding trail. Were

muttercd Kelly to the impatient boy.
'The canyon opens out just below
here"
Il know" said Randall, briefly. "I'm
wild to signal to Leon now. He knows
my call as well as bird knows it's
mates"
''Ah, but it isn't up here yell find
him, Masther Randall" said the old
man, striving to prepare the boy for
disappointment. Even if they had
fetched him this far he'd be working
back now for the post, where Mrs. Kelly
and the girls will be 'mazin' glad to see
him."
But no sooner had the leader of the
little column passed the base of the
cliff than Randall urged his horse for
ward to his fathers side. II can tell
it in the dark" said he; ''may I go
ahead?"
Cullen nodded, and the boy spurred
eagerly on. The Sandy roared and
rushed close by the trail as it turned the
point, then more placidly swept along
over some pebbly shadows, where the
heights on the western side fell away
and gave place to deep and sheltered
nook. They had reached the spot
where the Sanchez party was camped
when overwhelmed by the cloudburst,
where the luckless Mexicans, that very
morning, following blindly their ras-
cally leaders, were corralled and mas
sacred without mercy. Their bodies,
as we have seen, had been buried by
Cranes party, but the stiffened car
casses of the mules still lay there, al.
ready beginning to taint the summer
air. The major had expected Randy
to turn into the cove, but the boy
pushed sturdily ahead.
"How much further, Randall?" he
asked in low tone.
Two hundred cards or so, father,
There's pitahaya right opposite the
place"
Then for moment more the olick,
click of the ironshod hoofs along the
stony trail and the soft rush of the
waters were the only sounds to break
the silence of the night. Dark and
shadowy, still in single file, the party
rode unerringly on, Randall leading.
The boys heart was bounding with
hope and eagerness. The grief which
, had overcome him when told of Icons
probable fate had given place to high
and spirited resolve to play a mans
part in the effort to rescue him. What
boy with drop of soldier blood in his
veins would not rejoice in being a
'leader of men" amid such surround
ings and on such quest2 No trooper
could see more than the dim outline OF
his file leader, but Maj. Cullen's eyes

FEW DOGS BECOME RABID.
Many Dogs Supposed to Be Mad Are
Only Ill.

ohIy Liz
There is a popular delusion regard
ing the prevalence of madness among
dogs, especially in the summer season.
John P. Haines, president of the Ameri-
can Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals, is authority forth state
ment that of the thousands of alleged
mad dogs reported by the newspapers
and police few, if any. are really mad
The general opinion seems to be that
when dog acts at all strange-runs
around, barlls, or does anything to call
attention to him-he is mad and must
be shot at once. Otherwise he might
bite some one, with dire results. In a
hot spell, when man and beast alike are
suffering from the effects of the suns
rays, the mad dog story is revived. While
men and women are being picked up in
the streets and taken to hospitals, while
horses are falling in their tracks and
are being shot to put them out of mis-
cry, the poor dog. mans favorite COM
panion, is again made the subject of
unwarrantable slander.
Mr. Haines told a Tribune reporter
that it was a great mistake that the
public should have been kept so long in
ignorance of the true features of mad
dogs. Much of the terror and fear of
hydrophobia which now exists might
otherwise have been avoided. If people
could be led to understand that a real
mad dog was of exceedingly rare occur
renee, and that there was little danger
from dogs which acted in the manner
usually described as mad, great load
would be lifted from the minds of many
an anxious parent and guardian.
The common notion of a mad dog was
one that frothed at the mouth, ran
wildly through the streets, snapped at
every one that came in his way, and re-
fusipg to drink or go near water. The
true symptoms, it was said, are de-
sire on the part of the animal to get into
the water and put his head in 1t. There
is no frothing at the mouth. Instead
there is a dark, thick, sticky substance
which eXudes from it. Instead of rum
ming wildly about the mad dog will go
off by himself and sulk. His tendency
is rather to leave his home and roam
aimlessly about the country. He sci.
dom exhibits a desire to bite or molest
anyone.
Mr.. Haines says that hydrophobia is
not a disease of dogs at all. If dog
were mad the scientific term applied
was "rabies capinis." person bitten
by a dog thus afflicted might have
hydrophobia or might not. Hydropho-
bia was not a certain result,-N. Y.

GOOD BIRD STORY.
How a Couple of Orioles Obliged Mock.
ing Bird Family.

How Couple of Orioles Obliged a Mock
ing Bird Family.
Mrs Cason, the wife of an Oconee river
(Ga.) planter, relates the following in
teresting episode:
early this spring." says Mrs. Cason,
ia pair of mocking birds built their
nest in slender young elm tree just
outside my window. Before a single
egg had been laid therein a violent
wind came, tossing the tree hither and
thither, utterly destroying the nest.
With patient perseverance the birds
went again to work and soon had the
nest rebuilt in the selfsame crotch,
and this time the female deposited two
eggs within. One day. but short
time thereafter, during pretty severe
blow of wind, observed the two mock
ing birds in considerable commotiop,
and suspected that they feared another
catastrophe to their domicile. Feeling
particular interest in the result of the
storm for them, / kept pretty close
outlook, and by and by saw the male
bird fly away, leaving the female sole
protector Of the home.
Wondering considerably at this, and
feeling an intense sympathy for the
poor female, went out to see if l
could not devise some way to assist her
in her distress. Before | arrived at
any definite plan of action, however,
the male bird came fitting back,
bringing with him a couple of
orioles that / had seen from time to
time in the orchard behind the house.
Perfectly familiar as was with the in
genuity of the oriole, was not pre-
pared for what l now saw this pair ac-
complish. After a hurried consulta-
tion with the mocSing birds, the two
yellow fellows began to cast about for
material with which to operate in their
friends behalf, and one of them soon
found a twine string near five feet iu
length, which | had left out in the
garden after twining my sweet peas.
As soon as he lit upon it he called his
mate, and the serious difficulty of the
rescue seemed solved, for they went to
work with dispatch that would have
done credit to greater intelligence than
theirs is supposed to be. Each one of
the orioles grasped an end of the
string in his mouth and flew with it
into the tree, deftly looping it over the
swinging limb just above the nest.
This done, they took the loose end and
flew with it to the rose lattice, about
three feet distant, and soon had it
bound hard and fast to the frame, thus
holding the limb securely in position"

SEED WATERS s.-One- half pound
of sugar, One-quarter pound of
butter, creamed with the sugar;
four eggs, beaten very light; enough
flour for soft dough, one ounce car
away seeds, mixed with dry flour.
Mix well, roll into a very thin paste.
Cut into round cakes, brush each
over with the white of an egg, sift
powdered sugar upon it, and bake
in brisk oven about ten minutes, or
until crisp. Do not take them from
the baking tins until nearly cold,
as they are apt to break while hot.
BEEF OR MUTTON KIDNEYS
First parboil, changing the water
three times, and adding to the last
a little salt. Cut fine and cook in
cream enough to form a gravy,
which must be thickened, and a
very small quantity of chopped
parsley added. Or halve the
smaller kidneys, but not cutting
entirely open; heat a little butter
in the kidneys, turning constantly
until done; garnish with parsley.

Tours to California.

California has been most fittingly
termed the "Italy of America"
All the delicious balm, the cloud
less sky, and the rich verdure of
the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the
Pacific. Here nature basks in the
sunshine of her own beauty; and
here she has established her own
sanitarium, where eternal spring
inspires everlasting youth. With
the snow -mantled peaks of the
Sierras upon the one hand, the
calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritable
paradise of flowers, fruits, and
plants between, man can find and
needs no lovelier land. To visit
such a country is privilege, a
blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, recognizing the need of a
more comfortable and pleasant way
of crossing the continent, inaugu-
rated a series of annual tours to
California, running through train
of Pullman palace cars from New
York to the Pacific Coast, and
stopping at the principal points of
interest en- route. The great popu-
larity of these tours demonstrates
the wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours
have been arranged to leave New
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
January ~, February "a, and
March 81.
The first tour will run direct to
San Diego via st. Louis and the
Santa Fe Route, and return from
San Francisco via Salt Lake City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing five
weeks in California.
The second tour will run via the
Mammoth Cave and New Orleans
to San Diego, stopping at the
"Crescent City, during the Mardi
Gras Carnival, This tour will re-
turn via Salt Lake City, Denver,
Omaha, and Chicago, allowing four
weeks in California.
The third tour will run via
Chicago, Denver, and Salt Lake
City, allowing passengers to return
by regular trains via different
routes within nine months,
All of these tours, either going
or returning, will pass through the
famous Colorado region, GlenwOod
Springs, Leadville, and the Garden
of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the
Pennsylvania Railroad System east
of Pittsburg; First tour, S31O;
second tour, $3.50; third tour, S2l0
round trip, and $3.50 one way.

To use stale bread cover pint
of stale bread with pint of milk;
soak for half an hour and add the
yolks Of two eggs, tablespoonful
of salt, and a scant cup of flour.
Beat well, add half a cup of flour
with two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, and lastly the well beaten
whites of two eggs. Bake in muffin
rings or small pans as mullins.
These are particularly nice for
breakfast, and the lords of creation
will never imagine you are using
up pieces of stale bread.

To use cold rice, croquettes are
appetizing. Two cups of boiled
rice, one well beaten egg, heaping
teaspoonful of butter and a tea
spoonful of salt. Beat all thoroughly
together. Form into croquettes;
then dip in egg, and then in very
fine bread crumbs, and fry brown
in hot lard. They require rather
longer than most things to fry.
Topoach eggs in a ball is knack
known to clever cooks. Heat the
water to boiling; then stir rapidly
until a miniature whirlpool is pro-
duced, in the centre of which the
egg is to be quickly dropped. The
motion of the water sets the white
instantly into circular covering
for the unbroken yolk.
