The cheap rates given by the railroads
to visitors attending the Exposition places
it in the reach of n 'arly every one to at
tend and see for themselves the exhibits
from every portion of tie world disting-
uished men both of the white and colored
rates. Assured of the great benefits to
be derived by visit to the Exposition,
1 can not too strongly urge npon the peo

required to visit the Exposition.
The Exposition has seen proper to ap-
point as my Assistants the following

trust that the Colored women of Ala
bama will place themselves in direct cor
respordence with these ladies, who will
take great pleasure in furnishing all imfor-
nation desired.
In conclusion allow me to say that there
will be a standing ommittee known as tt g
Reception Committe, Who will be at the
railroad depots and steam boat landings TO
receive visitors and conduct them to the

The Lick 1t IL Done Nv #"

The ceremony of comforting the order of
knighthoOd at the hands of the queen is
not imposing. 1t is not, in fact, a public
ceremonial, and only those are permitted
to witness it who, by their official connec-
ton with the queens household, may at
tend her. The loyal subject upon whom
such distinguished honor may be conferred
may not even invite his 'best man," nor
the members Of his personal circle Of rel
atives or friends to be present. Arrayed
in whatever uniform he may be entitled to
wear, or whatever dress court etiquette
and the time of day make proper, If he be
a civilian, the subject presents himself be-
fore his sovereign and kneels at her royal
feet. Seated on the throne chair, the
queen lays the shining blade of sword
across the shoulder of the kneeling but
exalted beneficiary, and says, using the
title which she is about to confer, "Arise,
Sir So and sou Plain Mr.. Cheltenham-
Brown is thus by a single stroke of her
majesty's sword transformed into Sir
Knight So and So, and he is permitted
perchance to kiss his sovereign's finger
tips in grateful acknowledgment of the
distinguished honor.
In other cases than this of a plain
knighthood, and when the title carries
with it a decoration, the queen, with
her own royal hands, pins the glittering
and coveted bauble upon the coat of her
elevated subject. This is all, but to the
recipient it is q great deal

Counting tho Fish in tn. Pacific.

The excitement about the Canadian
fisheries give hint as to the prospective
value of one of the undeveloped resources
of the northwest. The shore fishing of
the provinces, on the Atlantic side, is of
sufficient Importance to bring the United
States and its neighbors to the verge of q
quarrel, but it is small matter compared
with the opportunities open in the north
western waters on this side of the CONT
nent. The mackerel fishing, which is the
present matter of dispute, is of no less i'm
portance than the banks codfishing yet
the whole extent of the Newfoundland
banks is only about 10000 square miles,
while in the Pacific and Okhotsf we have
300, 600 square miles, in Behring sea
almost as much more, and around the
Choumagin islands $4,000 altogether
nearly ten times the area of the Atlantic
banks The total money value per an
mum of the fisheries on the banks and off
the east coast of the British North Ameri-
can provinces is in the neighborhood Of
$25, 900, 900, which embraces the catch of
the vessels of all nations resorting there.
When the fisheries of the north Pacific
are developed to anything like the extent
of those of the north Atlantic they will
form one of the great industries of this
coast.-San Francisco Call.

Fellows who Couple the Cars.

was watching a brakeman coupling
cars in the Grand Central yard the other
afternoon, when my neighbor, one Of the
principal freight officials Of the road, said !:
You wouldn't believe it to watch that
expert and nervy fellow risking his life,
that there is new car-coupler invented
every working day Of the year, and yet no
patent has so far been hit on that will re-
place the work of the hand in making
coupling The couplings themselves are
much better and safer thar they used to
be when they consisted simply of a ring
and a pin, but the work of making a
coupling is still one of peril. Many of
the automatic couplings do very well for
light cars, but they cannot stand the Jolt
ing and jerking and the heavy strain Of
loaded and ponderous cars, running now
Slow now fast, shaking every bit of loose
iron about them till it rings like a bell.
1t takes courage and intelligence to make
man an expert coupler. A first-class
man in that line doesn't stay there very
long. He either gets killed or promoted.
1.-The mortality among the second-class
men must be something fearful" / sug-
gested.
ION the contrary, they last much
longer. You see, they are more careful
1t is the smart men who get reckless,
don't observe precautions and so get
themselves hurt"
what becomes of brakeman when
he gets crippled s' asked.
"If he can hold a flag, we make flag
man of him. You will find one-armed and
one-legged fiagmen all along the railroads
There are several men without arms flag
ging it, If a man loses both legs or
can't get around lively, we put him in the
store sheds and supply departments. We
never let man go who is crippled in our
service, If he can possibly be helped in
earning living. IN Y. News Babble.

An Interesting Discovery In Science.

One of the most interesting recent dis
coveres in science is the fact that a ray
of light produces sound A sunbeam is
thrown through lens on a glass vessel
that contains lampblack, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances. A disk,
having Sits or openings cut in it, is made
to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so
as to cut it up, thus making alternate
flashes of light and shadow. On putting
the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam Is
falling on the vessel Recently more
wonderful discovery has been made The
beam of sunlight is made to pass through
prism so as to produce what is called
the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk
is turned and the colored light of the rain
bow is made to break through it.
Now place the ear to the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material. As
the colored lights of the spectrum fall
upon it sounds will be given by different
parts of the spectrum, and there will be
silence in other parts For instance, if
the vessel contains red worsted and the
green light flashes upon it, loud sounds
will be given. Only feeble sounds will be
heard when the red and blue parts of the
rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other
colors make no sounds at all Green silk
gives sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound in
different colors and utters no sound in
others.-Chicago News.

Trick of a French smugsIer.

1t is dog story, and this particular dog
was assistant smuggler to a Frenchman
who arrived from Liverpool a short time
ago on the American line steamer British
Princess. The customs officers, when
they boarded the vessel, noticed the dog
big Newfoundland, acting rather queer
ly, and they took it aboard the govern
ments cutter and examined it. Just be-
low the dogs neck in pocket in the
dogs breast they found silk bag, which
contained 200 diamonds, all the stones
being of great value. The Frenchman
tried to prevent the search, but without
avail. The stones were sent to the treas
ury at Washington to await confiscation
by the court.-Cor. Globe Democrat.
