At the Centennial.

The space in the main building of
the Centennial exhibition at Pbiladel-
Lh1a is divided among thirty nations,
the United States one-third Of the
whole, Great Britain and Canada about
one-seventh, France and colonies about
one-tenth, and Germany one-ffteenth,
Beginning at the northern end of the
building and proceeding south on the
east side of the nave, the sections of
the United States, Germany, Austria,
Russia, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, Den
mark, Japan, China, Argentine Confed-
Grafton and Chill are passed in the or
der named. Between the space of the
last seven countries and the southern
side Of the building are the sections of
Portugal, Tunis, the Sandwich Islands,
Peru and Orange Free State. Begin
ming at the southern end of the build
ing and proceeding on the west side of
the nave, the sections of Italy, Norway,
Sweden, Australia, India and other
Asiatic colonies, Canada, Great Britain,
France and colonies, Switzerland, Bel
GUM, Brazil, Netherlands, Mexico and
the United States in the order named.
Among the large number Of exhibitors
engaged in erecting their showcases,
platforms, pavilions, ETC., many have
adopted a remedy for the small amount
of space to which they were necessarily
limited by the bureau of installation,
and are causing these constructions to
assume conical or pyramidal form,
IN many instances, securing for them
selves three or four times more exhib-
ing space as they could otherwise have
had.
Upward of a hundred foremen from
the workshops of France will attend
the exhibition purposely to study
American industrial progress.
Russia has applied for 5000 square
feet Of space in the art gallery, but On
account Of the lateness Of the applica-
ton, it is impossible to grant her more
than 1000.

A Clever Dog.

You ask me to send you Professor
Sedgwick's story of the shepherds dog;
and ought to have done so before.
The Professor was staying in Cumber-
land with q college friend of his
was what is called in Cumberland a
rich statesman'). His friend said to
him one day, You are SO fond of
dogs, you should ask my father to tell
you the account of how his life was
saved by his favorite shepherd dog"
| which, accordingly, the Professor did,
and heard the following story: "When
[ was young man, my father said to
me, There is a heavy snoW-storm
coming on; ride up the mountain and
see that that Valuable flock of sheep
we have lately bought is properly
folded So off I set, mounted on a
frisky colt, and accompanied by IA
vorite dog. My errand over, I was re-
turning home, when my horse not only
kicked me off, but kicked me after
ward, so that my leg was frightfully
broken. The night was coming on, the
snow falling rapidly; nothing could be
more perilous than my position, as
COulO l1Oo U1ONC. LII oCSpCLdtiOu L OID-
ped my glove in my blood and gave it
to my sheep dog, saying, Take this
straight home, let no onestop you from
going into the parlor to my father, and
fetch me help AS if the beast had
understood every word, he seized the
glove and tore home; the servants tried
to catch him in vain, he forced his
way into the parlor and dropped the
glove on the old mans lap, whining
piteouly. Ny father recognized the
glove, saw that some accident had hap
pened, gathered the men on the farm
and, led on by the dog, came to my
rescue" | have tried to give you this
story as nearly as possible in the very
words of the Professor, at all events,
the main facts are strictly as he narrat
ed them.-K. III. Kent, IN La'ad ana

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The Angels Ladder.
BY MRS. M. +. BUTTS.

BY MRS. M. +. BUTTS.
If there were a ladder, mother,
Between the earth and sky,
AS in the days of the Bible,
l would bid you all goodbye,
And go through every country,
And search from town to town,
Till had found the ladder,
With angels coming down.
Then | would wait, quite softly,
Beside the lowest round,
Till the understanding angel
Had stepped upon the ground;
l would pull his dazzling garment,
And speak out very plain:
Will you take me, please, to heaven,
When you go back again p"
All, darling" said the mother.
You need not wander so
To find the golden ladder
Where angels come and go.
Wherever gentle kindness
~ Or plying love abounds,
There is the wondrous ladder,
With angels ON the rounds"

MR.. EDroR:-Many people complained Sat-
urday Of the wretched condition of the streets
from the snow and rain of Thursday and
Friday. On most streets the snow between the
travelled way and the sidewalks was complete
~ saturated with water, which there was no
attempt to drain off. The crossings used the
most were not cleared of the "slush" several
inches deep. Doesn't this matter be along to the
Chairman Of the Committee on Streets to at
tend to? If so, why doesn't Mayor Richardson
see to it that the streets are kept in a passable
condition? Out of funds, did some one say?
His Honor as chairman of the Street Com nit
tee, as'almost exclusive charge of the street
department and has already, 1 am told, ex-
pended more money than did ex-Mayor Wes-
colt during his last year, and he contrived to
keep the streets in good condition all the
winter and made it a special point to have the
cutters kept clean after rain storms to prevent
tie flooding of the streets. In his inaugural
Mayor Richardson promised retrenchment,
economy. The only evidence L have seen of
such policy is in the matter of keeping the
streets in passable condition for pedestrians
