its able representative, Mr.. w. S.

1t would be folly to attempt to de-
scribe what
KENTUCKY
has done towards filling space. Her
products, both of the soil and of her
mechanical industries are scattered
all about. Louisville began by SUBJ
scribing about 100000 as a guar
rantee fund and all the people have
tried to pull their pound in the race
toward success,
The state has been very slow. 1t
has clung with surprising tenacity to
old traditions ). and it has not yet
reused to a complete realization of
the fact that the people who ''dead
head" their way along the journey of
life travel only on the slow trains and
never are on time. Kentuckians
need the education to be derived
from frequent visits to the Exposi-
ton, and, though it looked a little
mean for the Directors to make Sat-
urday ''Kentucky Day." and to re-
duce the entrance fee on that day
(and no other) from fifty cents to
half that sum, one can readily for
give them, for we all know what an
illiterate people they have, who ought
to be tempted to come, and look, and
learn.
DAKOTA.
The Chicago, Milwaukee, and St.
Paul railroad company has very
attractive little booth in which are
some of the products of breezy,
bustling, booming Dakota. But
southrons would rather talk of those
cooler places in the beginning of
summer. When they hear of snow
and billiards they turn their faces
toward the magnolias and orange
trees.
BY THE GOVERNMENT.
President Arthur not only helped
to give the Exposition good send
off by appearing at the opening cere-
monies, but has materially aided in
increasing its interest by permitting
various properties to be exhibited,
among them the appliances used in
rescuing life and property from loss
by shlpwreck; maps, charts, models,
etc., from the Educational Bureau;
pictures of the improvements along
the Mississippi river, geodectic, as
Economical, topographic, and hYdo-
graphic instruments used by q. S.
Coast Survey; models of Yellow
Stone National Park, Canon of Colo
rado Valley, Pueblos and Moki
Towns-and to the readers of Frank
Cushing 5 sketches of 'sLife Among
the Zunis,' in the Century, these
are exceedingly interesting-from
the Geological Survey; utensils,
hunting implements, boats, pipes,
idols, masks, musical instruments,
etc.-of the Indians of Alaska,
Eximo and Kyaki and a meteorolog-
ical and signal station, showing the
practical working of the Q. S. wealth
er bureau. To be sure some of the
specimens of weather furnished would
have better been kept safely locked
in the drawers, but that fact does
not lessen the interest in the service.
A collection of pictures illustrating
the manner of catching and prepar-
ing mackerel, and others showing
the cod fisheries of New England
are constantly surrounded. Fisher
mems wives we're eager, watchful
faces even in pictures-as if the
greater part of their lives we're divid-
ed between watching the clouds and
scanning the horizon for sail.
There is very full exhibit of all
kinds Of merchandise, drugs, gro
ceries, books, stationery, etc. etc.,
but these are to be found everywhere
and are only worthy of notice on ac-
count of skill and taste manifested
in the arrangement. The man who
advertises the Magnolia Ham shows
wonderful ingenuity. In miniature
dining room ham is ready to serve,
and every article of table ware, the
walters to serve the guests, and the
furniture are all Mr.. Pigship in some
shape. Pork reigns in that corner,
what ever shape "corners in pork"
make assume elsewhere.
Ouc VI GIS dIuS 6AulOlIS HAS CHelll-
lcals so artistically arranged that the
shading and blending of colors af-
fords a lesson many artists might
study with profit. Unique designs
are very numerous-too numerous
to mention.
Olivieri Archille, who registers
from Venice, has a pretty stock of
fancy goods and articles of vertu
brought from sunny Italy.
The Sandford Whip Company's
machines always have an interested
crowd of people before them. Twen-
ty-four spindles, in three groups,
hold spool of silk; wooden whip
stick is fastened to a pully above,
the power turned on, and the spin
dies begin to move. A right pretty
sight it is, as they dance in and out,
round and round, very like walters
in a ball room, until covering of
intricate pattern is woven the entire
length of the stick, and the "crack-
err completed. One young lady
tending the machine, turned out
whins very much faster than q dozen
