II geographical lines were judged by the
nature and extent of the exhibits, then

To Americans who remember the glory
of their magnificent Centennial celebration
at Philadelphia, only two short years ago,
the present Exhibition at Paris is source
of constant and unqualified grief. What
ever mortal man could do on meagre notice,
and with limited appropriation, the present
commissioner Gov. Mccormick has done,
and this, taken with the fact that the in
significant space allotted to the United
States compelled him to turn thousands of
exhibitors away, renders this Exhibition
anything but source of pride and salts
faction to the citizens of the United States.
This does not arise from the fact that there
are not in the American Department many
things that challenge comparison with the
products of any nation on the face of the
earth, but the space is so attenuated and
small, that the Exhibition conveys to the
mind of a foreigner no adequate idea of the

BEAUTY OF NEATNESS.

One pleasant peculiarly of English
towns and public places is their exquisite
neatness. The streets are well paved and
clean, and the roads are we'll kept; the
railway stations are in perfect order; the
fields are trim and neat; the gardens,
hedges, fences, lawns all exhibit care and
oversight. The smoke and fog blacken
and stain all the buildings, but English
care more than compensates for this un-
avoidable evil. We are not SO particular
here. We have a clear atmosphere and
brilliant skies, but we are all, SO far, as
public places are concerned, sons and
daughters of Shabbyville. This is the
more strange, because in our households
no such reproach is true. There are no
neater or better kept homes anywhere
than American homes, nor are any people
cleanlier or neater in their habits. 1t is
wholly in public matters that this shabbi-
ness we complain of exists. The blame
rests principally upon official persons who
neglect their duties; but our people are
strangely Indifferent to anything of pub
lie nature.

The returns to the Registrar General
of Great Britain exhibit a startling
ratio of infant mortality. The fac
stands forth that large proportion of
British-born infants are virtually muir
dered for the sake of the burial money.
The want of founding hospitals, or ref
uges for ''enfant fources" as provided in
France, the poverty in the prolific

patent child food, are the chief causes of
this wholesale slaughter of the innocents.
