TWENTY YEARS OF PROGRESS

| L w Elm EfARfo VI IIsobiNi1SS'
Within the past week an interesting
anniversary occurred in connection
with the tourist business in this coun-
try. On the 8th of October, 1879
twenty years ago-Messrs. Raymond &
Whitcomb sent out their first excur-
sion party Both members of the firm
were interested individually in promot-
ing pleasure travel as agents of prom
inent railway lines, and had previously
been energetic in their personal ca
pacities in such directions, but this
was their first joint effort as a firm
| The tour was only an excursion from
Manchester, N H, to Montreal, but it
embodied the principle of ''all travel
ling expenses included which has al
ways formed an important feature in
this department of the firms business.
The travelling expenses" in this in
stance covered not only first-class rail
way transportation, but also seats in
drawing room cars, meals at the Penn
igewasset house, Brighton, p. O., and
the Memphremagog house, while on
the way, and board at the Windsor ho-
tel, Montreal with side-trip to Que
bec if desired. Especial efforts will
be made" read the modest announce
ment. ''for the comfort and the pleas
ure of the party" Party travelling
was no new thing at that time, espe-
cially in Europe, but little had been
done to make it popular with the best
class of Americans. The Especial eff
forts were certainly effective. for
Messrs Raymond & Whitcomb speed
lily found their similar schemes involv-
ing visits to the White Mountains, the
Saguenay River. Saratoga. Lake
George. the Hudson River. Washing
ton. etc. exceedingly popular. The
year 1881 found the firm inaugurating
it's popular California tours, which
have served SO much to bring Eastern
people to a thorough knowledge of the
Pacicfic coast and which have carried
MANY thousands of persons across the
continent. In 1885 Mexico was added
to the places visited and for fifteen
wears mast the RAYMOND &, Whit
comb special trains of vestibuIed nal
ace cars run through that county,
have been regarded as the perfection
of eo,,iprnent for pleasure travelling

added to the list. and later when the

woman; il it is better, the fact of tho

is exactly the ground which is desired

good work, and it does not care wheth-
err man or woman is the worker who

real usefulness among the world,s

SOUND PICTURES.
How One May Make a autobiography
of His Own Voice.

TO take a picture of your voice it is
only necessary to tie Il sheet of thin,
strong paper v the fiaring end of an
old lin horn. Hold the horn with the
sheet of paper upward. Take Il little
pinch Of fine sand and place it in the
center of the paper. Then hold the
horn vertically above your face and
sing IL note into the lower end Of The
Instrument. Do not blow. but sing the
lotc.
Now lower the horn carefully and
look at the sand. You will find that
the vibrations of your voice have scat
tered the pinch of sand into a beautiful
sound picture. Every note in the musi-
cal scale will produce a different pic
ture, so you may produce II great vari-
ETY. of them.

One per son can handle poison ivy with im- Ounlty while another is poisoned if only m the vicinity of the vine and without contact. Some members of a family residing in a malarial dis trlct will suffer regularly with chi.ls and fever, while other members will not be at all affected.
 Food that is actually poisonous to some persons, will not SD act on oth- er-. One person may eat all kinds of green fruit aud vegetables with i'm punity, while another person could do so only at the risk of life. Certain kinds of fish are actually poisonous to some people and perfectly whole some to others.
 IL is this peculiar condition of the system which constitutes the danger point in the individual case and should be prudently observed by each one for himself.
