Arthur was President he appointed a number of men to federal offices who have since become quite prom- inent in their states. A number of them have since become United States Senators, and some are serving in Congress. Two members of the cabinet of President Ar- thur are now serving in the Senate, Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire having been Secretary of the Navy and Mr. Teller Sec- retary of the Interior, not forgetting that Mr. Gresham, now Secretary of State, was Postmaster General. However, both of these men now in the Senate had made reputations before they were named for the cabinet. Senator Burrows was ap- Pointed solicitor of the Treasury, but de- clined. Senator Squire of Washington was appointed governor of that territory, as was Senator. Warren governor of Wyoming territory. Gil. Pierce was appointed gov- ernor of Dakota, and came to the Senate from North Dakota. Senator Hansbrough was postmaster of his town by the ap- pointment of President Arthur, and Seria- tor Wilson of Washington was receiver of a United States land office in Washington territory. Ex-Senator Paddock was a mem- ber of the Utah commission by Arthur’s appointment, and ex-Senator Dixon of Ehode Island was United States district at- torney during his administration. Senator Fred. T. Dubois was appointed United States marshal of Idaho by Arthur, and is collegue, Senator Shoup, was made a Jnited States commissioner to the New Orleans exposition. Case Broderick, mem- ber of the House from Kansas, was sent to Idaho as a territorial judge by Arthur. There are others who were serving and will be serving in the next House who have held appointmerts under President Arthur, but the list given above shows that the man who became President from the Vice Presl- dent’s chair had the faculty of selecting some very good men for fhe positions with- in his gift, as shown by the way they have cme to the front since. ——_—_—__+ 2 +_____ On a Business Basis. From the Chicago Times-Herald. “Mamma,” said the beautiful girl shyly as she drew a chair close to her mother’s. “Yes, dear,” replied the practical woman of society. “Mr. Goldy—ah—Mr. Goldy proposed last night,” faltered the girl. “And you?” asked the mother anxiously. ‘I_I accepted hyn.” - “Quite right,” said the mother approv- ingly. “Mr. Goldy is worth a couple of mil- lions and will have more when his uncle dies. I am glad you acted with promptness and discretion in the matter, for he has the reputation of being very ‘uncertain and changeable in affairs of the heart.” “I KMow it, mamma,” returned the beauti- ful girl, blushing. “That’s why I thought— you know—I thought——” “Yes, dear; what?” “I thought perhaps we'd better not say anything about it just yet, and I'd try to make him do it all over again tonight.” “I don’t quite see the necessity,” suggest- ed the mother, in surprise. “Well, I suppcse you know best,mamma,” replied the girl, ‘‘hat I remember that papa once said a contract made on Sunday was not legally binding, and—and—" “Ever my own good, thoughtful girl,” ex- claimed the mother admiringly. “Do it by all means! We cannot be too careful in such matters!” Women Sandwich Paraders. From the New York Herald. The “new woman” seems to be develop- ing even in the highways and byways of life. Poor man is gradually taking a back seat and allowing his would-be masculine sisters to step along to the front. Even the “sandwich board,” which from time immemorial has been carried by man, has been by one fell swoop taken over to the woman's camp. The other day two women walking side by side throu&h 23d street attracted atten- tion not only by their peculiar garb, but also by the sandwich boards which’ they carried. One woman's sign read: “I use Know-it-all’s polishing powder.” As if to prove the assertion her garments were fringed with rows of glittering pieces of metal, freshly burnished. The other “sandwich boarder,” like the foolish virgin, was labeled: “I use an imi- tation.” This fact was demonstrated by similar fringes of dingy metal discs. Their garments were cut a la Salvation Army and were of black metal. An extensive black poke bonnet set upon each head, and, as if they were ashamed of the busi- ness, their presumably, blushing cheeks were concealed under heavy veils. ————+ e+ The Land of Neverwas. Where are all those shining valleys which we used to sing and rhyme, Purple with the clustered fruitage of the harvest fields of time? Where are all those young ambitions, framed in rainbows, aureoled With a halo mist of glory“woven from the sunset's gold? Gone before their realization, like effects without a cause; Vanished in the misty Umbo of the Land of Never- was. Where are all those toppling castles, turret tipped with moonlit glows, Gay with youths and laughing maidens, thre’ their echoing porticos ? Where are those werial brownstones with their gargoyles of red mist, Touched with ‘sardonyx and topaz and svith gold and amethyst? They have floated on the summer clouds that never walt nor pause, Down below the horizon of the Land of Neverwas. Where are all those golden galleons floating on the tideless seas, With their sendal sails distended, bound for the Hesperides, Sailing through the dashing dolphins, thro’ the archipelagos, Where each wafted breeze is heavy with the cin- namon and. rose? Ah! their hulks have turned to shadow and their sails have turned to gauze, And, like dream ships, they have vanished in the Land of was. "Dis the purple land of rainbows on an island far away, None but little folks and bables ‘neath its fronded branches stray; sa bird of passage land upon its tower- Never d i cliff, But sometimes a daring poet sees it from his yeam-blown skift, But when he tries to sing of it men neither heed hor pause, most men ‘are disbelievers in the Land of Neverwas! —SAM WALTER FOSS. eee Fooling the Busy Bee. From the London Daily News. Mock bees and spiders! A writer shows that some flowers form a striking excep- tion to the rule of cross-fertilization. The bee and fly orchids, for example, which would be much more commonly seen on our English chaik downs but for the ravages of greedy collectors, fertilize themselves, and do not want to be bothered by buzzing bees and flies. So a cunning device has been resorted to. No bee will enter a flower in which another bee is already at work; therefore, to protect the entrance, the lip is enlarged into a process exactly resembling the hind-quarters of a bee (in the fly-orchid it resembles a large fly). To the spider-orchids, another British species, it seems to have occurred how a still more trying shock might be administered to the nerves of troublesome insects, so it displays in its orifice the likeness of a large spider. For Why She Marricd. From the New York Weekly. Clara—‘‘How under the sun did Edith happen to marry Mr. Awkward?” Dora—“‘He was the bane of her life at every ball she attended, and I presume she married him to keep him from wanting to dance with her.” — At the Charity Ball.

THE MORTON CADETS ‘A Sketch of One of the Orack Mili- tary Companies. PREPARING FOR THE MEMPHIS CONTEST The Personnel, Largely Composed of High School Graduates. ae SUCCESS THE WATCHWORD NLESS SOMETHING unforeseen occurs, the Mortom Cadets, company A, third battalion, District of : Columbia National 4 Guard,’ are. going to Memphis, Tenn., early next'month to compete in the big interstate drill to be held in that city. The fompany is young, ambitious, determin- ed and enthusiastic, and its friends entertain no fears as to its success in the contest with crack com- panies from all parts of the country. ‘The organization is, in a way, a pioneer of its kind. Five years ago: several mem- bers of the High School Cadets determined to form a military company to be made up exclusively of members and ex-members of the famous High School corps of cadets. The command was s00a molded into shape, and it adopted the name “Morton Cadets” in honor of Levi P. Morton, at that time Vice President of the United States. On several occasions Mr. Morton has aided the boys financially. * For nearly two years ’the Morton Cadets remained what is termed an independent military organization, but early in July, 1892, at a full meeting, the command de- cided to enter the National Guard, and be- come soldiers in the eyes of the law. At the same meeting the koys made up their minds to hold an encampment. Maj. D. L. M. Petxotto, at that time chief of ordnance of the militia, mustered the Morton Cadets into the District Guard, July 27, 1892, as company B, second bat- talion, and two weeks later the youngest organization in Gen. Ordway’s brigade left for its first camp, having accomplished a remarkably large amount of work in an equally remarkable short time. The encampment was held at Piney Point, Md., was the biggest kind of a success, and every member of the company in at- tendance enjoyed himself to the utmost. Military discipline, however, was strictly enforced, and the baby member of the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard returned home rich in tactical knowledge. The com- pany went into camp at the same place in August, 1898. Last summer no trip was taken. The brigade c#mj! in June next will be the first timé ‘the gompany has par- tlclpated in’ an ovting: with the District uard. Beat A competitive drffl,was held last fall at Alexander Island, aad the;Morton Cadets entered and took second, place, with the Emmet Guard pg @ competitor. The: youngsters made at excellent showing, and were highly cori! plimented by army officers who acted as judges. The company returré¢ from across the river bearing a handsothe and costly stand ‘ofe5 colors as a reward for their efforts: Since that-time the ~ drill fever has been strong within the or- ganization, and when the Memphis compe-~ Capt. Skill tition was announced ‘seyeral weeks ago Capt. Shilling called a meeting, and in short order the boys decided to go to Mem- phis if the necessary funds éould be raised to.defray expenses. Drills have been held each evening, and are to be continued un- til the time of departure. In the way of equipment the company has ordered a complete outfit of full dress National Guard uniforms, to be worn for inspection snd on parade. National Guard fatigue uniform is to be used for hard work in drilling and general rough wear. The outfit will also include white duck trovsers, and probably a louse similar to that worn by the High School Cadets. Neat fatigue caps will be supplied. The beys are to have collars and gloves both of the same pattern, while for inspection an effort is to be made to secure shoes similar to those used in the army. Capt. Skilling will not permit the wearing of lance toe, patent leather or tan shoes, nor is any member of the company to take civilian attire of any nature on the trip. Cept. Shilling intends that his company shall, as near as possible, pass a perfect irspection, and he declares that rifles, ac- couterments and brass ornaments will not show a suspicion of dirt when ex- amired by the judges. Apropos of passing a perfect inspection, the company means to carry off the prize of $300 for the’ best dis- ciplired company at the encampment. The discipline at present is exceptional. As to the route the company will take to re Memphis, no definite arrangements have as yet been made. The drill team of forty ™men, with four or five substitutes, will com- prise the company that is to be taken into camp. No staff is to be taken, will the team be +, hampered by anybody # or anything not ab- solutely essential. As for the company’s chances for prizes, Capt. Shilling is keep- ing very quiet, pre- Ist Lieut. Tralles. ferring to let actions speak louder than words. He feels a strong degree of confidence in his men, and is of the opinion that an organization of young men, the majority of whom have had train- ing in the High School, will compare favor- ably with any maiden’ company to be seen at Memphis. ‘The Morton Cadets are not going to Memphis with the expectation of winning the championship of the United States, but on the contrary they ‘are ready to back the National Fencibles for all they are worth to carry off. the Galveston cup for the third time.

Parts of u Fossil Zeuglodont Are Being Put Together at the Smithsonian. Back of the Smithsonian Institution is a long wooden building erected for temporary purposes, one rogm of which would be suitable headquarters for the witches of Macbeth. It would be hard to imagine a place more weird of aspect. Jars contain- ing reptiles and batrachians of various sorts in alcohol are arranged on shelves, ‘while from the rafters and beams overhead hang skeletons of a hundred species of beasts and birds. The skeletons are in process of drying, the bones composing each animal being tied together in a bun- dle with strings. In odd corners are su! pended boas and other serpents in a lesic- cated condition. One would not look in vain for the “eye of newt and toe of frog” =nor yet for most of the other ingredisnts of the classic caldron. A Zeuglodont. In the middle of the floor is a great box, which contafns something not readily iden- tified by the casual observer. It is a new acquisition, and very precious—in fact, nothing more nor less than the back part of the skull of a fossil zeuglodont. It was dug up a while ago in Alabama, and the Smithsonian experts have been engaged for some time in chiseling it out. For, as should be-explained, the fossil was found embedded in phosphate rock, and the lat- ter had to be cut away very carefully in order not to injure the specimen. This work has now been completed, and the portion of skull and other bones unearth- ed with it will soon be ready for exhibition. The remains of zeuglodonts have been found quite plentifully in Alabama and Mississippi. They have been dug up in other parts of the south and in Europe also. They were huge creatures, attaining a length of from fifty to seventy-five feet, and it is belleved that they were whales. They were not larger than some whales of the present day, and were very much more slender. The me given to them refers to their teeth, “zeuglodont” meaning “yoke tooth.” Their teeth show that they were carnivorous, as are the surviving sperm whale, orea, or “killer” whale, and other species. A Fake Sen Serpent. But there are some authorities who ae- sert that the zeuglodonts were more nearly related to the seals, and on this question an, interesting controversy has been going on for some time. Unfortunately, no com- plete skeleton has ever been found. But the remains here described include certain bones hitherto undiscovered, which throw light on the subject. The matter will doubtless afford a topic for a scientific me- moir. For the present it is rather a secret, and the details are not ready for publica- tion. Eventually the fossil remains will compose an exhibit for the edification of the public. It is worth mentioning, by the way, that not long ago the backbones of two or three of these zeuglodonts were joined together by an ingenious fakir, who advertised the combination as a fossil sea serpent and exhibited it as such. For a while it imposed even upon people who might have been supposed to know better. The vertebrae of the zeuglodonts were long, while those of modern whales are short. ee They Looked Disgusted.

POINTS ON TRAVEL| AFTER THIRTY YEARS. —_—__.8-—___ Something About Tronks and How : to Pack Them, A CLUB OF MENTAL TRAVELERS New Ideas in Luggage That Con- tribute to Happiness. , ‘ PEDESTRIAN TRIPS SSS Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. NE OF THE MOST charming little so- cial clubs in New York is called the Tourist Club. It is & woman's club, though it is not com- posed, as cne might suppose, of experi- cnced travelers. On the contrary, it was organized for the especial pleasure of those women that » are temporarily or permanently unable to take invigorating jaunts, so that, in fancy, at least, they might rove in “pastures new.” At the club meetings such subjects as “The Fine “Art of Traveling,” “Where to Go and How to. Go” are discussed, and each member in turn gives her ideas upon the advantages of some tour she has longed for or studied upon. She searches guide books and she reads the notes of travel or the romances that throw light upon her proposed route— if she has chosen the lake country of Eng- land for her journey, she will read Hall Caine’s novel, “The Bondman,” in order to know something of the history of the ne‘ghborhood; if the tour is taken in Scot- Isnd she will. have a wide choice in Sir Walter Scott and William Black; in fact, for almost any accessible region there Is always a novelist to be found for the seek- ing. She even decides upon the amount of ber luggage, and the best method of pack- ing her imaginary outfit; and after the evening's wandering in the realm of cher- ished dreams, she feels that she has really been in a new climate, basked in a brighter, wermer, scfter sunshine, breathed a clearer air. There may be a fortunate guest pres- enc whose roving feet have sauntered over the highways and byways of the globe, who can set her right if her plans are not feasible, and I will venture to say that when her ship comes in—“for we all have ships on the treacherous sea”—it will find her mentally equipped for the most intel- ligent enjoyment of the world’s treasures, treasures of nature and of art. Last week the club met at the charming home of a quaint old lady, whose interest in ‘the “Utopiin Tourists” is altogether a helpful one. Her husband's diplomatic career in the past has given her excep- tional opportunities to know foreign coun- tries well, while a fondness for travel — and ample wealth to gratify her taste—has leg her even over-many of the world’s un- trodden paths. Now that she has lost her vigor somewhat, and, ,consequently, her ability for extensive travel, she loves to listen to the hopes and aims of these younger, fresher ones, to whom a foreign land is a land where all is beautiful. So, from the chilly evening outside we came into the cheer of the big fire ofl Ee x = ig of'logs on the One Type of Tourist. Our hostess was the president of the evening, and after a medley of random ideas had been tossed about conversational- ly, she said to a girl sitting beside her, whose happy face seemed to radiate con- tent throughout the room, “Let us hear your jaunting plans, Mar- garet.” “I have had charming plans,” answered Margaret, wistfully, “but they have met with discouragement. I wanted to share my pleasure and interest with Aunt Pris- cilla, the patient custodian of “my little apartment home, who needs a change of mental atmosphere—the only change I am able to offer her. I find, however, that she is of the intelligent, conscientious type of tourists that, quite unintentionally, though nore the less thoroughly, spoil a holiday— when she once begins to satisfy her appe- tite for information it becomes enormous, veracious. For instance, in Venice I should want to spend idle days in a gondola, drift- ing gently through a haze of old Venetian glories; but Aunt Priscilla would want me to go up every campanile, climb to the top of every church steeple, and bustle into every picture gallery in_ that tremendously zealous way, determined to leave nothing unseen. Now, when I travel I like to daw- dle, I like a large measure of personal liberty in the matter of mental spaces. Therefore, as I am not willing to leave Aunt Priscilla out of my itinerating, I have folded my clipped pinions and shall take my ,Pleasure in hearing the plans of oth- ers. The flicker of smiles rivaled the firelight. We all were acquainted with Aunt Priscilla. “I have been discouraged by the luggage consideration,” said a girl, whose face was rippling with fun-loving dimples. “I have been told by an experienced traveler that the very first thing to be done when a journey is in contemplation is to arrange one’s self into a thoroughly practical atti- tude of mental condition, and allow no flurries or nerves to move one. The next thing desirable is to look to your trunks, portmanteaus and bags, and see that they are in good order. Alas! I found that mine had all gone into ambush in a maimed con- dition—locks were incorrigible, and straps had taken wings. “In regard to packing, too, I have re- ceived much valuable, though varying ad- vice. One friend maintains that rolling is the most commendable process, saving space and rumples; that not only under- clothing, but dresses should be so treated, and that when the unpacking comes every- thing will bob up ‘serenely from below without one crease. The Art of Packing. “Another declares emphatfeally that no space is saved by means of rolling; that garments are liable to curve out, looking very wispish and stringy, which, certainly, is far from desirable; that in packing a trunk everything should be fitted in with the accuracy of a puzzle—the undercloth- ing folded very fiat indeed,the interstices filled up with stockings, and the crevices in the center rounded out with bottles; that each boot and shoe should be tightly wrapped with a layer of paper and stuffed into the hollow corners which appear on the edges as_ the trunk becomes filled. Dresses should be folded outside out and bodices inside out, to avoid the disfigure- ments of ugly twists and wrinkles; the sleeves of blouseS and dress waists should be stuffed with tissue paper, loosely crush- ed; patent leather shoes and slippers should be well wrapped in tissue papesr, but shoes of heavier‘leather in paper of sterner stuff. Between each jacket and gown a sheet of tissue paper should be laid, and in the lid of the trunk, made to fit exactly, a white linen sachet, filled with lavender, should be placed. But the most important precaution is to pack the trunks as full as they will hold, to prevent the contents from shaking about. “Now, all these details madé my back ache. I imagined myself leaning over a deep, big trunk, a slipper there, a bottle anywhere, while my room was strewn with a heterogeneous mass of clothing, waiting to be rolled and stowed wherever it would ‘fill in; then I fancied myself arriving at an hotel for a day or two only; I saw the porter quivering under the unnecessary weight of bulky, uncompromising trun! into which I must dive and delve for gow: shoes and other little garments, probably not finding what I want until I have stirred into hopele3s confusion the whole puzzle. So I made a tour among the trunk shops, to see if skill and science had turned their efforts toward lightening the labors of trav- elers, I am delighted to find that ‘packing made easy’ is now the watchword of the trunk makers. Made Easy for Men. “Men, of course, are particularly well provided for in labor-saving traveling con- trivances. There are the convenient d-ess sult boxes of all varieties, from leuther- mounted linen, low in price, to the most expensive leather, in delicate tan shades; square leather boxes for shirts only, which the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon.) Mr. Fred Taylor was born and brought up near Elmira, N. ¥., and from there enlisted in the one hundred and elghty-ninth regiment, N. ¥. V. L, which be went through the war, and sw much hard service. Owing to exposure and bard- ships during the service, Mr. Taylor contracted Rerves were shattered, he could not sleep an hour day on an average, and he was reduced to a skeleton. A year ago he and his wife sought relief in a change of climate, and removed to Geneva, Onto; but the change in health came not. Finally, ‘on the recommendation of F. J. Hoffner, the lead- ing druggist of Geneva, who was cognizant of sim- Mlar cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor ‘Was persuaded to try a box. “‘As a drowning man grasps a straw, eo I took the pills,” says Mr. Tay- Jor, “but with no more hope of rescue. But after tbirty years of suffering and fruitless search for relief, I at last found it in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The day after I took the first pills I com- menced to feel better, and when I had taken the first box I was in fact a new man.” That was two months ago. Mr. Taylor has since taken more of the pills, and hie progress is steady, and he has the utmost confidence in them. He has regained full control of his nerves and sleeps as well as in his youth. Color is coming back to his parched veins and he is gaining flesh and strength rapidly. He is now able to do con&iderable outdoor work. As he concluded narrating bis sufferings, expe- rience and cure to a Beacon reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been bis faithful helpmeet these many years, said she wished to add her estimony in favor of Pink Pills, “To the pills alone ts due the credit of raising Mr. Taylor from a helpless in- valid to the man he ts today,”’ sald Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr. and Mra. Taylor cannot find words to express the gratitude they feel or recommend too highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity. Any in- quiries addressed to them at Geneva, Ohio, regard- ing Mr. Taylor's vase they will cheerfully answer, as they are anxious that the whole world shall know what Pink Pills have done for them, and that suffering humaffity may be benefited therebye Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to ‘the blood and restore Shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from ‘Dr. Williams’ Medicine , Schenectady, N. ¥., for 50.cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50. - = — need not be disturbed by irritating shoes and bottles, and beautiful little trunks not much larger than an ordinary portman- teau, made to unfold—not lift—into three complete compartments. “Yet, women’s varied necessities are not overlooked. First of all in beauty, conven- fence —and expense—rank the chiffonier trunks. These open.on a bias plan, when they stand slightly slanting against the wall, like a really charming chiffonier, composed of drawers of various sizes and depjhs. To pack one of these would be only a pleasure, and to find what you want again an every-day bureau-drawer matter. The sole leather English trunks are beauti- ful and elaborate, with straps and buckles, and would always, I am sure, inspire with respect and awe the most relentless railway porter; but as the price of the smallest of them is $50, I did not linger long in con- sidering them, not even for a journey in Spain. The basket trunk is more nearly within the reach of my fictitious purse, and—after the packing was accomplished— merely as a com} n de voyage, I should consider it quite creditable, with its black, glossy leather cover and its brown ‘or gray linen lining; but for ease and con- venience in packing and unpacking there could be nothing more nearly perfect than the chiffonier trunk. Still; almost any trunk may now be fitted with an upper tray, having a folding cover, which does away with the necessity of remo’ the tray in order to keep the cover lift and this does away, also, with many petulant outbursts of feminine temper. “But my greatest temptation came in the form of a leather traveling bag, light in color, containing innumerable toilet arti- cles, mounted in satin-finished silver, though after lifting it and carrying it across the room I felt that I should be willing to reduce the little luxuries of skin creams in monogram embellished jars and toilet implements gorgeously mounted to the merely decent necessities of soap, tooth brush, hair brush and nail brush, and have less burden for my hands and arms. There are beautiful bags of a light shade of alligator leather prepared In such a manner that it will always retain its freshness; bags of very pale gray smooth leather are similarly prepared tov resist soil. The bags that open squarely at the top—the style easiest to pack—are must in demand now, and may be found in alligator, lizard, snake and elephant skin, the latter of soft, velvety leather in a shade of dark tan tinged with orange. The English bags, box shape half way up, the rest soft satchel shape, are quite out of favor, and those that sling across the shoulders are used only by couriers, unless valuable articles, such as jewels, are to be carried. My fancy was captured by the long rounded bags that seemed to me so light and stylish in appearance, but I was told that they were doctors’ bags, and if I should carry one I would seem to be on my way to perform appendicitis or some other professional. accomplishment. “This is all I have arranged, only the luggage and the packing for my journey. The route must be considered later.” Delights of an Walking Tour. “Ah, well,” said our hostess, have learned tonight what I shall never, alas, be able to put into practice—that a walking tour would give one the greatest benefit and -the most pleasure, with the least bother of preparation and the smallest amount of expense. The mere indepeud- ence of such a tour would be a charm— loitering in some shady nook, drinking th pure alr of a mountain height, receiving impressions and sensations for the present and future, as one cannot do with a train to catch. And then, too, luggage need not be a care; you need not become frenzied, as so many.women do at the packing juncture, and believe that you are going to need every article of clothing that you possess, heap into your trunks, wholesale, gowns you have not worn for ages, winter gowns, summer gowns, and a vast collec- tion of underclothing. On the contrary.you can select the things only that are abso- lutely essential to comfort upon such a holiday, which could be reduced to night garments, a brush and comb, and a tooth brush. Of course, you could not make a very extended tour-on the knapsack prin- ciple alone—a small trunk could be for- warded by train. to some town and hotel where it could be overtaken at will. The gown worn should be light and warm; for example, a skirt and Norfolk jacket of navy serge, the skirt unlined, the hem turned up and bound with leather. If your vacation is taken in the spring, nothing could be more delightful than a walk through the historic region of Maryland in the vicinity of Washington or Balti- more, where the large estates of colonial times still show beautiful traces of former grandeur. Or, if the summer is your sea- son for rest and change, you can tramp through New Engiand villages and gather refreshing impressions from each pretty little hamlet. So, my dears,” sald our hostess, as we said good night, “your jour- neys need not be altogether in imagina- tion. Sling a little satchel across your shoulders—never mind the passe fashion— put on stout, very comfortable walking boots, and start forth untrammeled by lug- gage or expense, !n search of the blessed grail of invigorated health.” —_——_ The Tramp's Opportunity. From the Atlanta Constitution. Queer things happen in this world. A tramp took refuge in an old graveyard in Georgia, and prepared for a sound night’s rest between two graves. About the hour when churehyards are supposed to “yawn,” he was awakened by a strange noise, and, on looking up, he discovered an escaped convict in the act of iiling his shackles. As the tramp stood up, the convict, in su- perstitious terror, fell’ upon his knees, whereupon the tramp arrested him, deliv- ered him over to the authorities at the camp near by, and received a reward of Fu.
