wise, viz central transept 100 feet in
width by 416 feet in length, with one on
either side of 100 feet by 416 feet, and
aisles between of 48 feet,
Tho intersections of these avenues and
transepts in the central portion Of the
building result in dividing the ground floor
into nine open spaces free from supporting
columns, and covering in the aggregate an
area Of 4l6 feet square. Four of these
spaces are 100 feet square, four 100 feet
by 12O feet, and the central space or pa
vilion 120 feet square. The intersections
of the As foot aisles produce four interior
courts AZ feet square, one at each corner
of the central space.
The main promenades through the nave
and central transept, are each 80 feet in
width and those through the centre of the
side avenues and transepts 10 feet each.
All other walks are 10 feet wide, and lead

clossal eagle at each Of its four corners.
The arcades, general feature in the
old Roman villas but entirely novel here,
are intended to screen the long walls Of
the gallery.
These each consist Of five groined arches
these arcades form promenades looking
outward over the grounds and inward over
open gardens, which extend back to the
main wall of the building. These garden
plats are each 80 feet long and 80 feet
deep, ornamented in the centre with foun-
tains and designed for the display Of
statuary. A stairway from the gardens
reaches the upper line of these arcades,
forming second promenade 80 feet above
the ground, Its bslustrade is ornamented
with vases, and is designed ultimately for
statues. The cornices, the atticas, and
crestiugs throughout are highly orna-

The. Commissioners who have charge Of
the arrangements for the Centennial Ex-
hibition, to be held at Philadelphia in
1876, have recently given to the public
definite details Of the buildings to be
erected in Fairmount Park for the pur-
pose. The structure, are five in number,
the Main Building, the Art Gallery, and
the Machinery, Agricultural, aud Horti-
cultural Halls. In the aggregate they
cover floor space Of about 40 acres. We
publish herewith views Of the first two,
which give an excellent idea of then
general appearance and proportions.
The Main Exhibition Building is loea-
ted Immediately east Of the intersection of
Belmont and Elm Avenues, on the Lans-
downe Plateau. II will stand 170 feet
back from the north side Of Elm Avenue,
the area between the building and the
Avenue being used for special products,
which may be exhibited in the open air.
There will also be a space 300 feet in
width between the building and the Art
Gallery on the north side, which will be
ornamentally treated as ground for special
purposes.
The building is in the form Of paral-
telegram, extending east and west $50
feet in length, and north and south 464
feet in width aud covering 20.02 acres
The larger portion of the structure is
one story in height, and shows the main
cornice upon the outside at 45 feet above
the ground, the interior height being 20
feet. At the centre Of the longer sides
are projections 4l6 feet in length, and in
the centre of the shorter sides or ends Of
the building are projections ZIG feet in
length. In these projections, in the cen
tire of the four sides, are located the main
entrances, which are provided with arcades

From its east and west sides extend the
galleries, each ss feet long, 4s feet wide,
and 80 feet in height. These galleries
admit of temporary divisions for the more
advantageous display of paintings. The
centre hall and galleries form one grand
hall 2s7 feet long and So feet wide, capable
of holding eight thousand persona, nearly
twice the dimensions of the largest hall in
the country. From the two galleries,
doorways open into two smaller galleries,
2s feet wide aud SO feet long, These
open north and south into private apart
ments which connect with the pavilion
rooms, forming two side galleries 210 feet
long, Along the whole length of the
north side of the main galleries and central
hall extends a corridor IA feet wide, which
opens on its north line into series Of
private rooms, thirteen in number, designed
for studios and smaller exhibition rooms.
All the galleries and central hall are
lighted from above; the pavilions and
studios are lighted from the sides. The
pavilions and central hall are designed
especially for exhibitions Of sculpture,

composed Of wrought iron columns which
support wrought iron roof trusses.
As general rule tn, columns are placed
lengthwise of the building at the uniform
distance apart of 2l feet, and the sides of
the building for the height of seven feet
from the ground are finished with timber
framed in panels between the columns,
and above the seven feet with glazed sash
Portions of the sash are movable for ven
tilation.
The wrought iron columns are composed
Of rolled channel bars with plates riyeted
to the aangos.
The roof trusses are similar in form to
those in general use for Depots and Ware
houses, and consist of straight rafters with
struts and tie.bars.
The engineers and architects of the
structure are Messrs. Henry Petit, Con-
sulting Engineer of United States Centen-
nial Commission, and Joseph NJ. Wilson.
Every product exhibited in any part Of
the entire Exhibition will be considered
as belonging to one Of the following ten
departments Il. Materials in their un-
wrought condition, mineral, vegetable, and

The Main Portal on the north side com
municates directly with the Art Gallery,
and the Main Portal on the west sides

Upoa the corners of the building there
are four towers 75 feet in height, and be-
tween the towers and the central projec-
tions or entrances, there is lower roof
introduced showing cornice at "a feet
above the ground.
In order to obtain central feature for
the building as whole, the roof over the
central part, for 18l feet square, has been
rnised above the surrounding portion, and
four towers, As feet square, rising to 100
feet in height, have been introduced at the
corners Of the elevated roof.
GROUND PLAN.-The general arrange
ment of the ground plan shows a central
avenue or nave 100 feet in width, and ex-
tending l 1872 feet in length. This is the
longest avenue Of that width ever intro
duced into an Exhibition Building. On
either side of this nave there is an avenue
100 feet by 1882 feet in length. Be
tween the nave and side avenues are aisles
4S feet wide, and on the outer sides of the
building smaller aisles "a feet in width.

The Wild HoRsEs OF Kansas
Large numbers of Wild horses abound on
the prairie between the Arkansas and
Smoky Hill Rivers They are ali sizes
and colors, and are the widest Of all wild
animals. They usually roam in bands Of
six to twenty, and win run at sight of
man two miles away. A great many do
nestle horses, as well as mules, which
have strayed away from their owners,
have taken up with the wild ones. After
running with them for a while they be-
come as wild as their untamed companions.
Various methods have been adopted to
catch these aboriginal horses. but they
have generally proved fruitless. Ascrub-
by colt or a broken down mule are, as
general thing, the only rewards for all tho
time, labor, and expense in such visionary
schemes. Settlers on the frontier would
hail their speedy extinction as q blessing,
for when domestic animals get with them,
their recovery is simply out Of the ques-
tion.

THINGS THAT Wives SHOULD REMEM-
BER.-It is tho penny saved more than
the penny earned that enriches; il Is the
sheet turned when the first thread breaks
that wears the longest; It is the damper
closed when the cooking is done that stops
the dollars from dropping into the coal
bin; Il is the lamp or gas turned lowwhen
not in use that gives pin money for the
mouth; it is the care Of making the coffee
that makes three spoonfuls go rs far as .
teacupful ordinarily; 1t Is the walking Of
one or six blocks, instead Of taking car
or omnibus, that adds strength to your
body and money to your purse; il is the
careful mending Of each weeks wash that
gives ease to your conscience and length
of days to your garments; and last Of ali
1t is the constant care exercised over every
part of your household, and constant en-
deavor to improve and apply your best
powers TO your work that alone gives peace
and prosperity to the family.

of this dual system will be that any visitor

ABOUT BUnsIEo KEROSENE. We wish
to call the attention Of all consumers Of
kerosene oil to the psrnicioua and un-
healthy practice of using lamps flIed with
that article with the wicks turned down.
The gas which should be consumed by the
fame is BY this means left heavily in the
air, while the cost Of the oil thus saved at
the present prices would be scarce one
dollar year for the lamps Of 1 household.
A large family Of children in the country
were taken i'll one night, and on going 10

nearly out, whereupon the doctor forbade

The effects Of intoxication BY increasing
doses Of alchoholic siimulanta are thus
graphically dsscribed BY DR.. Wilson, ID
his excellent treatise on the Pathology Of
Drunkenness:
With his Progressive intoxicatiou, an
extreme Ioquaci:y hurries the individual
along into every form Of indiscretion, tears
the veil of his character, and betrays him
into Incorporate attacks upon others. or
into iruprudeat ayowals with reference 10
bis own thoughts and actions. His mag.
ination rcyels in unassociated and distorted
images; his memory fails; his ideas eIude
him; and, while speaking, be forgets the
subject Of his discourse, and maunders
without judgment and without cohercnce.
His virtues decline into defects; his cour-
age becomes bravndo, his liberalisy profa-
sion, his friendship fawning. Meanwhile,
his physical agitation is in proportion TO
the disorder Of his intellect. The face il
flushed, the eyes fash, the brain throbs,
and the action Of the heart is inordinately
excited. Extrayagant gestures, reckless
and inconsiderate actions, shouts, snasches
Of songs, and other tokens Of frantic gay.
ETY., are alternated with complaints, expires
sious of resentment, and brawIing anger,
alike without definite aim or reason. He
misapprehends what he hears and sees,
and yields instantly to his own misappre
tensions His own voice, as well as that
Of Others, sounds strangely in his ears: If
he sings, the notes are false; If he speaks,
it Is with shrillness and clamor. As the
lntoxication advances, he is still restless in
his movements, but they are wayeriug and
without energy; and, as he tctters from
side to side, he sees objects double, or
everything reels around him; or the level
OF the ground appears 10 rock beneath his
feet, or rise before him to meet his steps.
At close, the speech faIters; the indis-
tinct words, the dwelling expression Of
ideas equally indistinct, linger half mut-
tered on the lips; the features droop, and
assume an expression ofstolidity; the limbs
cross each other, and at last sink power
less; and benumbiDg torpor creeps over
the senses, as, one by one, the nobler at.
tributes Of mans nature fall before the
strength Of the poison, and the power to
consider and to judge lies as miserably ex-
tinguished as that to win and to act.
