The Interstate Industrial Exposi.
ton Of Chicago

Is now open for its FOURTEENTH Con
sEcUTIVE ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
Like every other good thing in the
growing west, it is larger. better and
more important in its main features
than any which have preceded it.
The display of processes of manu-
facture, including two exhibits of silk
looms in operation. and many other
things of attractive novelty in mechan-
ism, mas never been surpassed
The Art Halls are filled with choice
examples fresh from the studios of one
hundred and twenty-five prominent
american artists. Almost every
painting is a gem, and all were selected
by the celebrated artist, Mr.. VIM. H.
Beard, Of New York.
The Natural History Department
includes the entire collections Of the
"Chicago Academy of Sciences and
those collections include some Of the
most remarkable specimens in the
world. The specimen of the eLephas
prinagenaus or ''hairy elephant" jtu
added and mounted, was discoveredins
Spokane Co., Washington Territory,
and has no rival in any of the great
museums of Europe unless it may be
one in st. Petersburg procured many
years ago in Siberia.
The Department of Furniture,
Household Decoration, Personal Orna-
ments and Textile Fabrics are complete
and filled with all the novelties known
to the several industries they repre-
sent.
It has never been the purpose of
this organization to simply amuse the
public or to enrich its stockholders,
but rather to educate and inform those
who desire to keep abreast of the pro-
gress of the world in all the great
lines Of human activity.
In 1885 the average daily paid
attendance for forty days was 8,463.
This year it promises to be even larger
and the exhibition will certainly we'll
repay all who visit it. All transpor-
tation lines make reduced rates.

A Remedy for Lung Diseases.

DR.. Robert Newton, late president
of the Electric College, of the city OF
New York, and formerly of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, used DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam very extensively in his practice
as many of his patients, now living,
and restored to health by the use of
this invaluable medicine, can amply
testify. He always said that SO good
remedy ought to be prescribed freely
by every physician as a sovereign
remedy in all cases of lung diseases.
1t cures Consumption, and has no
equal for all pectoral complaints.

A Hint.

Betrothed people are apt to be
absorbed in each other to the eXclu-
sion Of other friends, There is a
great temptation to lovers to with
draw themselves from other interests,
to make the parents, and brothers,
and sisters, who have loved a girl all
her life, feel that they are no longer
necessary to her; that her heart is
gone from them, while her form is
in their midst. But it would be q
npbler love, and one that would
promise more for future happiness,
that would hold the old ties more
nearly and dearly, because of this
new one, dearer than them all; which
would be sedulous to spare the home
circle any slight, any sense of loss,
beyond the inevitable one of parted
presence, Love is the best gift of
God, but it should be crowned with
honor-a sovereign who exalts his
subjects, not q tyrant who debases
them. A noble minded girl, who
will be careful, in no least thing, to
hurt or slight the home hearts she
is leaving, will show that she could
afford to wait a little even for her
happiness, rather than grasp it with
unseemly eagerness.

She "SOt and SOt.''

Alfred Sproule, one of Chicago's
prettiest and sweetest travelling men,
was up in the country not long ago, and
was caught over night in certain town.
There was dance on for that evening,
and Alfred concluded he would accept
the invitation and swing the country
lasses for awhile. He went to the
dance and danced with every girl there
except one scrawny one, who had sat all
the evening in the corner waiting for a
partner. Alfred took pity on her at
last, and, putting on his most angelic
smile, he "shassayed" up to her.
MAY have the pleasure of dancing
with you in the next set ?"
lyon bet you kin, young fellow, for
I've sot and sot till I've about tuck

Alfred did the graceful in great shape
and the girl stuck to him the balance of
the evening.

DIR Hammond and His
Louisville Patient.

A well known louisville gentle
man came here to be treated by DR..
Hammond for nervous affection of
the eye. The patient stood meekly
before the doctor.
''That eye" said the doctor, look
ing at the patient keenly, ''makes
you a little deaf in the left ear,
doesn't it 2"
"Eh,' said the patient in alarm,
s'does it 7"
"Of course said the doctor care
lessly. Then he took tuning fork,
struck it on the desk and allowed it
to vibrate near the patients right
ear. The man from Louisville
heard it. The doctor struck the
desk with the fork again and held it
up to the patient left car, touching
the fork with his finger as he raised
it, and thus stopped the vibration.
OF course, this time the patient
didn' hear it. The doctor took a
large probe, dipped it into q queer
looking bottle, thrust il into the ear,
twisted that organ violently, struck
the fork again and held it ringing
up to the badgered ear. With a glad
some smile the patient heard it, and
threw $40 gold piece on the desk,
wrung the doctors hand and got all
the way back to Louisville before he
remembered that he had gone to
New York to have his eye treated
and not his ear.

During the war there was in our
command practical joker named
Henry McNette who is now pilot
ON the Arkansas river. Just at this
time in the history of the Confeder-
acy rations became scarce. Parched
corn and sweet potatoes do very well
once in long while, but are object
ional when taken as steady diet.
McNette noticed that Lieutenant
Nowlin frequently visited farm
house, the elegant county seat of
Judge Beach. He had often seen the
handsome Miss Beach, and he knew
that Nowlin was paying special atten-
ton to her. One day McNette went
to Judge Beach's house and rang
the door bell. When servant APP

Miss Beach. The servant crabbedly
replied that he would see. Present

Streaming down the ages, hlighting

around the altar of the church, it has
