Dlessed be tho man who invented the
cheap excursion! Snobs and million
aires who travel In their own yachts
and special cars may tarn np their noses
at it, bnt tho chances ore that in the
next generation tho snob's son will bo
one of the waiters who runs with a tray
of sandwiches to tho car window and
slops coffee over tho dust cloak of tho
chenp excursionist. Who knows?
Say that tho cheap excursionist is
gawky; that ho parados all his private
affairs in n loud voice beforo the amused
and sneering city person in the street
car and elsawjioro. The vory placo for
him to learn to kcop his arms and legs
closo about him and his voice within
the low, soft limit which Shakespeare
prescribes is tho great city. He could
not visit that city only for tho cheap
oscursion which our American railways
are learning better and hotter how to
provide for the people. Tho only way
for tho boor nnd tho tough to learn that
a clean car floor is no place on which to
expectorate or to deposit either peanut
shells or chicken bones is to go abroad
and seo that well bred people do nono of
these nasty things.
It is an important element in civiliza
tion and culture, the cheap excursion.
It enables tho inhabitants of different
portions of this country to see ono an
other and note tho phases of develop
ment in each district. It takes away
tho besotted Bolf conceit of tho ignorant
New Yorker to go to Chicago and Min
neapolis and find thero broader, finer
streets and better city government
and architecture than thero are at
home. It lifts the Intelligent, eager
farm boy and girl into a veritable fairy
land of delight when it takes them on
tho wings of steam to see with their
own wide, bright eyes that Niagara or
Mammoth cave or magnificent dome of
tho Capitol at Washington which they
have read about ever since they could
lead at all. It destroys provincialism,
ignorance and local self conceit; it
makes the inhabitants of this huge coun
try acquainted with ono another, caus
ing thorn to feel that we are indeed one
great, united people. It polishes away
crudities, fuses common interests and
makes us all a wiser, better mannered,
more cosmopolitan nation.
The railways improve tho accommo
dations of theso choap excursion train?
yearly, as they ought to do. If tho
sleeping car rates were not so high, a
still larger number of cultivated and
refined travelers would patronizo tho
cheap excursion in preforonco to staying
at home. J
California Almonds.
Mr. Henry J. Philpott, whose name
ought to be Fhilopena, considering his
subject, writes in Tho Popular Science
Monthly about almond culture in Cali
fornia. We find from his papor that
almonds to tho value of $813,278 are an
nually imported into this country; that,
too, under a duty of flye cents a pound
for unshelled and 7 cents a pound f oi
shelled ones. An almond and peach tree
are much nliko, except that tho peach has
itb fruit on tho outsido of its shell, the
almond inside. The almond nut while
growing looks like a grcon peach.
We learn from the papor of Mr. Phil
pott that tho raising of an almond tree
with any cortalnty that its fruit will be
the same as tho nut of the graft or bud
which you put into it is about as uncer
tain as killing a mosquito by slapping at
him when he Inserts his bill into your
cheek. The almond tree is a tough old
eport. If, howevor, you can bring It
down to business, an almond orchard
requires less caro than any other orchard
except one of prune trees. At four
years from tho seed the tree begins to
bear and yields on the average $100 an
acre. An almond orchard Is not trou
bled with 'insect pests, as othor fruit
trees aro, and its bloom is tho most
gorgeous and fragrant of floral massing.
The flowers aro whito with a dash of
pink.
The-voriety of almond known as the
paper shelled is tho best for tho con
sumer to buy. Finally all almonds that
como to market are first bleached with
sulphur fumes to whiten the shells.
It has been reported, likewise contra
dicted, that labor organizations aro in
troducing military drill Into their pro
gramme. There is an excellent military
organization already open to ablobodied
men who want military drill. Its ad
vantages aro exceptional, and so fully
does it meet all the warlike needs of tho
time that thero is no call or room for
any other military club or socioty.
Morcovor, it lias tho countonnnco, au
thority and aid of tho United States
government, and it exists convenient to
hand in every state of the' Union. Its
name is the national guard.
A clockraakor of Warsaw has been
six years working on a clock which ho
intends to exhibit at the World's fair in
Chicago. It is as wonderful as tho clock
in the cathedral at Strasburg, It rep
resents a complete railway station, with
moving trains, telegraphers, porters,
passengers and a ticket ofllco. Every
quarter hour all those Wako to life, A
bell rings, the engino whistles and the
train moves off after tho passengers
have gono aboard, and all subsides into
stillness nntil the next quarter hour.
Yon boro people as much when you
talk to them about your family and rela

Here is how Oliver Wendell Holmes
describes the fashionable 0 o'clock tea:
"It is giggle, gabble, gobble and. git,"
Everybody knows what It is, aud
that Ja the reason they go to Hel
laabraud'a for tbat pure ica oraaaa
oda.
The Argument Used
BY the makers of the second-class baking
powders to induce the dealer to push
them off on Royal consumers is that
they cost less than Royal and afford
the dealer much more profit.
But you, madam, are charged the same price ,.1
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost of the"
others is caused by the cheaji, impure materials - .
used in them, and the haphazard way in which
they are thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal &
for an inferior baking powder, made from ini- -.,
pure goods, of 27 per cent, less strength? If i
you buy the other powders, insist upon having K
a corresponding reduction in price.
A LITTLE CALCULATION.
An
Ingenious Scheme of Soma English
Swindlers Exposed.
Perhaps many readers havo been
favored with a letter from a friend
in something like tho undermen
tioned terms. Tho followinar is a
copy of ono received by the writer,
(names being fictitious) :
"No. 0 For tho rebuilding. of the
orphan homes at Queen's square,'
Bwindletown, 1,000 is required. You
are requested (1) to send 3d. in.
Btamp? for that object; (2) to make
two copies of this lotter, putting at
tho head of each the number sue-'
ceeding that heading this. Send
theso to two friends, requesting them
to do likewise. When the number
100 is reached the ball stops rolling.
Please do not lot tho ohain break in
your hands."
Hero follows a list of patrons, tho
name of the lady secretary, and last
ly the name and address of tho
writer.
Tho scheme looks well enough, and
does not seem nt all extravagant.
When, however, we come to analyze
it we find that tho ball must stop
rolling long ere the coveted 100 be
reached simply for want of pooplo
to carry it on.
To make our meaning plain to tho
curious wo will suppose that tho
chain is unbroken, and that the 60,-'
109,732,422,127,898,073,643,950,830 ro
cipiente of letter No. 99 havo duly
written to their 112,339,404,844,254,
790,147,087,900,072 friends. !
Wo will furthor suppose that the
wholo 224,078,929,088,609,592,294,175,
801,344 persons thus addressed have
responded with their threepenny
pieces. Tho sum to a penny thus
raised would only amount to 2,808,

Ordinary chewing gum is made of
gum chiclo, sugar and a variety of
flavors. Gum chiclo is merely a

a certain quality of sugar added to it
to sweeten and mako it palatable
It will be noticed that in chewing
gum after it has been in tho mouth
awhile tho sugar and flavor aro en
tirely gono, and what remains is tho
rubborllko product, which is the
chiclo gum nearly puro. This gum
is tho sap of tho sapodilla, a Mexican
tree. It is collected liko India rub
ber sap, by cutting incisions in tho
bark between tho months of Novem
ber and April, and after tho gum
has boon gathered it is packed in
sacks, 200 pounds to tho sack.
It is then a light colored mass, ap
parently about half way botwoon
gutta percha and india rubber. In
tho factories it is washed, dried and
mixed, and whon run off on spread
ers is cut into sticks, wrapped and
packed ready for shipment Within
a few years tho industry has w
Burned largo proportions and tho de
mand for it seems to bo growing.
