George II. Daniels, of the New York Cen

an announcement which is OF a rather start
ling nat2re, but it is one which ought to
please the patrons OF that great system, and
particularly those who travel on mileage
books. The circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good Tor 800 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale at all
stations on the New York Central divisions
and branches) at the rate OF $40 and so
respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and are
available for passage on the main line of the
New York Central, and all of its branches
and divisions, including the Harlem, Put
nam, Ro.le, Watertown & Ogdensburg,
Carthage & Adirondack, Geneva Lyons
and the Adirondack Utica to Montreal) d.

Mileage books will be issued in the name
of the head of family or firm, and will be
available for the use of any member Of such
family or for any traveller for a firm, pro-
vided the name of such member or traveller
is written in the book by the agent selling
it, in the place designated. They will be
honored for transportation by the conduct
ors OF all trains, including limited trains, but
only to the end of the run of each conductor
If the holder of such ticket desires to ride
beyond the run of a conductor, or on night
train, or to a point on a branch line, he
should present his mileage ticket to the
ticket agent, who will detach the proper
mileage and issue a mileage exchange ticket,
on which baggage will be checked to any sta
ton on the New York Central or any OF ITS
branch lines, thus avoiding the necessity OF
being disturbed after retiring, or OF recheck.

AT REAPING TIME.

The harvest supper has various names
in England, among them being the nell
supper, harvest supper and harvest
home.
In Windsor, the farmers always
crown the last load of the season with
flowers, and an image, dressed to repre-
sent Ceres, is borne in a procession.
The United States is about the only
country which has no established har-
vest customs. In some parts harvest
celebrations are held, but we have no
traditions such as they have abroad.
In Bavaria the last sheaf is fashioned
into the shape of human being. with
a stick in one hand, wreath on its
head, and around it the peasants kneel
in prayer, not to the image, but TO the
Supreme Being.
In some parts of England it is the
custom to throw water over the good
natured victims who ride in the cart
bearing the last of the grain and the
sport seems to afford as much merri-
ment to the drenched as to the drench-
ers.
The best authorities regard the harv-
est festival as of Jewish origin and
other nations followed the custom of Of
fering up the first fruits of their fields
to their gods. When the harvest was
over The heads of heather families were
wont to feast with the servants. This
led 10 the harvest supper which is now
celebrated.
In Italy agriculture has made little
progress, yet the season of the harvest
is made one continual festival. The
mountain toilers gather in Rome ard
leave the city in companies, white oxen,
decorated with bright ribbons, draw
ing their carts. Affairs are erected in
the fields and mass celebrated. In the
evening singing, dancing and feasting
conclude the celebration.
