In-one section, saw what to me apr
peearcd a very wonderful operation; il
was the manufacture of tin-ware by
Bliss civilians, of Brooklyn. Well do ]
remember the, time when the commonest
tin tin pan was made out of fonr pieces, and
Of the care that had constantly to be
exercised to keep the bottom from melt
ing of. Great benefactor of the human
race was he who invented this stamping
machine. Now they take circular plate
Of tin, place itundeEthe die, and before
you can say Jack, much less Robinson,
your pan is made; and such a pan, a
model of beauty and strength that de6es

the bottom out of IL.
And here we come to the sawyers de-
partment. Magicians you may fairly
callthem, for it seems as if they can do
almost anything with those wonderful
little SAWS. See him take up that rough
and ungainly looking block, watch how
daintily he twists and~turns it around
see, the saw scarcely leaves trace, but
keeps whirring and whizzing on; look,
he shakes it to pieces, and before you is
a complete set, of fairy furniture, hand
somely finished and ready for use. 49,
a few years ago and the name Of Mat
thews was almost the only one identified
with the manufacture of soda water ap-
,paratus; now the woods are full of 'em.
,,Tuft has a half dozen marble palaces,
and other manufactures have such mag
inifcent displays, that we feel compelled
to ask from what source the money
comes. Would it not just be possible to
give US just trife less magnificent ap-
'paratus and little cheaper soda water
This thing has been increasing year after
year, 4till7now five or'six thousand dollars
is considered very moderate price for a
soda water apparatus for a country drug
store; in fact, the single article of furni-
ture would mortgage all the pillecotia,
epson salts, porous plasters and sugar
coated pills usually owned by country
apothecary. I
The Centennial Commission has just
made new concession. On two Satur-
days of this month the Exhibition is to
be opened for twenty-five, cents. Last
week firm in Agricultural Hall had a
lot of cards printed which they intended
to put over their card cases in various
parts of the hall, and on them was prin
ted in large red letters, 'Take One. !"
Some graceless varlet passing along,
stole the whole, package, and looking
around saw magnificent display Of
preserved fruits and pickles, from which
the owner was unfortunately absent. BE
carefully placed a ticket on each bottle
and can, and then withdrew to observe
the general result. The first that came
along was fat old woman from Missouri
She paused for moment, rubbed hel
spectacles and then reached for bottle
of pickles. She went on a few steps and
then returned and gobbled up a can OF
peaches. Two hungry-looking galoots
from Kentucky followed in her wake,
and off walked a couple Of packages Of
strawberries. A widow with four chill.
dren next appeared, and they went fol
some Bartlett pears and raspberry jam
The good news spread like wildfre, and
in few moments hundreds were rushing
like mad men toward the unfortunate
stand. 1t was not long till the place was
entirely stripped, and when the unlucky
owner got back all that remained was
the empty shelves, over which were scat.

ruin, inscribed with the motto, "Take
One"
An admirable restaurant has been
opened by the Draymen's Association
just back of Agricultural Hall, where
for forty-6ve cents you can get very
respectable meal-this is the price of 8
cup Of coffee in any of the crack restau
rants. 1t is the only place on the
grounds where you can get a meal at
moderate price, and the gentlemanly
superintendent, Mr.. Colt, is always or
the alert to secure the comfort of hi
guests.
