x . - , I ' " - .... - CHUAF TKAYEL. An v Agreeable Way of Going Across the Continent. Tourist la Parties Tbat Make tb Trip a Kpeedy and Comfortable Manner at Bat Little Expense. , It is now possible to cross the conti nent to San Francisco and make friends on the way and have as jolly a -time as when you cross the Atlantic on a fast liner in the same number of days, says the New York Sun. That did not used to be 6o. The old way was to take a numbered seat in a sleeping car and fro through with the chance that no one but the conductor and the train newsboys would ever speak to you. The new way is by means of what are called tourists' excursions." They are run at second-class rates, but on the fastest time and with special cars. The conductors will take a first-class pas senger if such a one should offer him self. There are at least two of these companies running personally conduct ed excursions over opposition lines and both advertise very low rates and quick time. The cars are plenty good enough for anybody, but are not so ornate as the regular palace cars. In them the people start at New York or Boston a nd go through without change, eating their meals in dining-cars out as far as Council liluffs if they want to and stopping at dining stations along the rest of each route. A great many who push to the furthest extreme that economy which is the distinctive char acteristic of such carloads carry their own fare with them in baskets and either buy nothing but tea and coffee or even make that for themselves on the road. The passengers in the first-class coaches on the same trains are quickly made aware of the fact that their trains carry these tourist parties, for they hea the laughter and singing and f t.hn "tolirists. who bv the end of the second day out are all ac quainted with one another and bent on having a jolly and fraternal time. They share their delicacies, their paper-covered novels and their hopes and fears with one another, stream out of cars in great parties when there is a long stop, to gather flowers or to "take in a new town," and in all ways fra ternize as though they had all known each other for years. The circular of one of these excur sion companies announces that it "guards its patrons against the pres ence of the immigrant and the untidy" and against the intrusion oi the way passenger. Everything that, will con tribute to the general pleasure is wel comed, but nothing offensive is toler ated. Some of the cars have smoking rooms, but if there is one without itthe men must go forward to the regular train smoker to enjoy their pipes and cigars. A special conductor goes with, i . . i 41.,. , i, eitcu pal uuu na vcci liio wjuiiowi vuc annoyance of being awakened to show their tickets during each night. The tourist cars look like regular sleepers in the raw, being built on the same plan, but not finished with the same elegance. Unlike the immigrant sleep ers, they are equipped with carpets, curtains, mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows, pillow cases, towels, combs, brushes, etc., requiring nothing of the kind to be furnished by the passenger. Each car has a stove for the making of tea and coffee, and each section can be fitted with an adjustable table. A uniformed colored porter accompanies each cartottiake up berths, keep the CUT' clean and to make himself useful Changing Chlrography. The changes in fashionable hand writing during the past ten years have been marked.. Young girls of to-day write in large and usually firm char aeters, while a surprising number of young men, not trained to clerkliness and struggling between several recog nized i standards of a good masculine handwriting, produce letters of a singu larly childish style of penmanship. Hut leaving out these conditions of youth and transition wLh their more or less fascinating , suggestions of equal change in the intellectual fashions of young men and maidens, there is nn inexhaustible .interest in the study of . mature handwriting, from the point of vlow of the subtle clairvoyant interviewer of other neonle's minds and methods. For example, most literary men nowa days write a small hand. The phrase literary men Is.very sweeping in this connection and is by no means limited to t he producers of pure literature in this country. In that case there .would be next to nothing to say, es poeSully if the literature produced was restricted to that genuinely imbued with style. Literary men in this sense means also all men who have the power and also a most surprising knack in returning to others of the craft their own ambitious productions. Short Kpltaphs. In Worcester, England, is a stone erected over the grave of a departed auctioneer of that city on which "Gone is inscribed. In a Sussex graveyard, in addition to the initials of the deceased and tho date of death, a stone has interfbedjn large letters the words "He Was." Two of the strangest as well as the shortest epitaphs are 'Asleep (as usual)," on the tombstone of a large individual by one who knew him well, and "Left Till Called For" is carved on a irravestone in Cane Hill cemetery, Belfast. A photographer has this inscription over his grave: "Here ' 1 Lie, Taken from Life." On tho tomb of Charles the Oreat, first emperor of Germany, ore two words only: "Cara'o Mugo." m Severity of AiitarcUo Regions. v -It is a remarkable fact that tho cli mate of the southern polar region is much more severe than that of cor responding regions to the north. It is well known that a race of human be ings live within the aretie circle with some degree of comfort, but at a cor responding degree of latitude at the south all is one dreary waste, wholly uninhabitable, - I I IM Thk new carpet for the house of rep resentatives will be of a dark-green design, with a crimson figure, conven tional in its character, relieved by a cream-colored star. Gkougk Stkhio, Regent's Quay, Ab erdeen, Scotland, sent a very pretty little Shell ie for President Cleveland.
