The Pioneer exhibit is especially fine.
The Bureau OF Information is a great
help to the stranger.
The railroads are beginning to drop in
their price of transportation.
The Patnarchs Militant parade was
the finest ever seen in Cincinnati.
The Washington Park benches are tho

lunches.
The Agricultural exhibit made by
"Uncle Sam" is q liberal educator. 1t
is very complete.
That Centennial Hospital is good
thing after all. A child was born in the
building last Saturday.
Cincnnatians are not extorting money
from strangers. You can fare better for
less money that in any city In the Union.
The Postofiice Department exhibits a
brand-new postal-car, with employees in
the work of receiving and distributing
mail.
The Kindergarten is attracting great
deal OF attention. 1t is an interesting
sight to see the little ones go through
their performances.
Odd Fellows Day was one OF the best
yet. The many official emblems of the
Order We're duplicated in elegant cut
flowers of massive design.
The Department of Christian Advance
ment in the lower section of the south
tower ON the Elm street side of the Park
building is one of the most interesting
in the show.
Callfornia's exhibit consists of cereals,
woods, minerals, and samples of the
gigantic luscious fruits which the great
orchards and vineyards bear with such
regularity of profusion.
The Post-ofIice museum contains some
old relies, including the first mail
bag that did duty between New York
and New Orleans, when only one was
sufficient to carry the mail between these
points.
A Iuiscroscope is on exhibition that
makes drop OF vinegar look like it was
the abiding place of hundreds of snakes,
and the dust from cheese is filed with
insects as large apparently as cock
reaches,
Splendid large oil paintings Of all the
Secretaries of the United States Treasury
from the foundation of the Republic to
the present day are to be seen in Park
Hall. The collection is valued by the
Government at $50, 900.

Mr.. Doyle is ore of the most polite
and kindly of mon. He has lovely
home in San Mateo, and. like great
many people who have lovely homes,
he does not always know what goes on.
One evening Mr.. Doyle arrived from
the city. and his coachman was at the
station with his wagon. They drove
along home, and, as they came 10 the
gale leading into his preserves, burly
tramp stood leaning against the rail.
He did not move TO open the gate, so
the driver got down and opened it. As
soon as he did the tramp calmly walk
cd in and proceeded up the avenue.

him out to saw wood for an hour.
Then you can give him as much as he
can eat"
"There'll be trouble, sir. "
Next morning Mr. Doyle was being

The Evils of Destiny.

The three evils of destiny is the
general term given by an inhabitant
of the Greek islands to express the
three important events of life-birth,
marriage and death; and in consider
ing the folklore concerning these
points, we see how amongst these re-
mote islands have survived the super
slitions of antiquity. Three old wom-
en- who live up in the mountains, who
are always spinning, whose decree is
unalterable except on rare occasions,
arc supposed 10 preside over these
three events; they are called as Of old
the Fates. and discontinued Greek,

how he considers it n misfortune to
have been born, n greater one to have
been married, and tho greatest of all
