machinery department is always the most
popular. This is especially true Of the pres

machinery exhibited this year is much supe-
rior in quality or quantity to that seen in
former international exhibitions. But the
arrangement is new. The edif1ce is so large,
lofty, airy and bright that the eye is struck
with the novelty of the surroundings You
feel that you are in grand building and you
expect to see grand things about you. Nor
are you disappointed Never before were the
mechanical inventions Of the human race SO
superbly housed, so magnifcently set off as in
this gigantic crystal palace OF the Champ de
Mars.
There remains che more grand section Of
the exhibition grounds to be treated. We
must cross the river to the Trocadero palace
the permanent building of the exhibition
Of 1S7S-and its beautiful garden. All this
space Is included in the present exhibition.
The Trocadero contains several permanent
museums To these have been added some
special exhibits connected with the present
fair. The gardens contain other exhibits, es-
pecially the horticultural one, which is as
beautiful as it is extensive, and many minor
exhibits ensconced in pretty little structures
scattered among the trees and walks OF this
favorite park Of modern Paris.

"Where Afrfc's Sunny Fountains

When the natives led Capt. j. Henley
Smyth-Bromley, the hunter and traveller,
into the presence of King Ujjibi, the lion
stalker was little disturbed "If l could
make myself understood, he began. Speak
on" said the king, 1--WE were taught English
by the missionaries" The captain breathed
more easily. II am safe" he said Then
you have missionaries hereF' he asked Not
now," replied the monarch, 1--WE have had
lots of them, but they are gone" The cap
tain's voice faltered again. "Have you eaten
them!" he asked feebly. "Not at ALL" re-
turned the monarch, reassuringly, mot one
Of them. They are not to our taste. We
traded them all to a neighboring tribe for
hunters and menagerie agents. We are fond
of mince pie, and those gentlemen being al
ready full favored, save us the expense of
putting in the brandy ourselves. But it is
not often that we get our mince meat first
hand" His majesty turned to his cook with
a gracious smile, and the captain, praying
dyspepsia upon every man who tasted him,
went the way Of the pitcher that goes TO the
fountain once after its innings is ovcr.-Bur-

Summer habits of tweed or light diagonal
are sometimes made with a step collar"
notched like that of mans coat or else cut
open slightly square like clergman's collar.
Still others have white pique or cloth vest
set in, with the habit buttoned over it in the
middle, and the vest showing only at top and
bottom With the step collar white scarf
such as men use is worn and a scarf pin is
stuck in it. Bone buttons with holes in the
center are ON habits Of all kinds, those Of
Melton for the park as well as those for the
country. Hunting habits to be worn in
rough country roads are Of the strongest
English Melton, and have a gay vest of red
cloth provided as well as white one to
make them useful on other occasions.
Very young girls just in their teens have
habits of blue or dust colored tweed or di-
agonal cloth made up with the narrow
short skirt precisely like those worn by Ia
dies, but the bodice for their slight, undevel-
oped figures is often laid in lengthwise plaits,
and sometimes q belt defines the waist. Caps
with visors, In favor with these young riders,
are made Of cloth like the habit or of cordu-
roy, or else they wear Derby felt hats, Their
long hair is worn in single hanging braid
tied with ribbons a few inches above the
end, or else it is plated in two slender braids
and coiled round and round close against the
head in the English coil such as ladies wear
when riding. In the cut is shown an English
habit which, as will be seen, is almost if not
quite identical with the New York outfits

Look Before You Drink.

The shocking mistake made by Reading
woman who swallowed crystallized white
vitriol under the impression that it was
dose of EPSON salts has many parallels
Hardly week passes that the newspapers do
not chronicle some blunder of the kind, and
yet people continue TO do the very thing they
know by the experience of others to be fatal
iy dangerous To take medicine without
looking at the label on the bottle, or to drink
from bottle or a glass in dark room, is
like trihing with death, and while some are
fortunate enough to avoid fatal error many
become victims of their own heedlessness.
Unfortunately the sufferers fail TO serve as a
warning TO their careless fellow creatures
Like the woman who continues TO kindle her
fire with kerosene because nothing has yet
happened TO her, the people who swallow sup
posed medicine blindly will not be frightened
by accidents to others because they have
never had anything happen TO them, and
have an idea that escape from the perils of
the past furnishes immunity from the dan
gers OF the present.-Philadelphia North

IN AN OLD CHURCHYARD.

In one Of England's sweetest spots,
A little old gray church l found;
Around it hes-dear restful ground
Gods garden with its sacred plots.
With myriad arms the ivy holds
Its time worn walls In close embrace,
So memory sometimes keeps face
Half yelled in tender misty folds
With sleepy twitter and with song
The tower, bird haunted, is alive;
In leafy seas they dip and dive,
Those tiny warblers, all day long.
Like sentinels grown boar with age,
The crumbling headstones guard the graves
That softly swell-green voiceless waves,
That VIII not break though tempest rage.
Concerning them that are asleep"
In this sweet hamlet of the dead,
In broken sentences read
The record those old tablets keep.
Each told its tale, for hath not Grief
A voice whose echoes never die?
Adown the ages Rachel's cry
Still rings DER some God garnered sheaf
Mine eyes, ne'er prodigal of tears,
Did fill with such as seemed to rise
And drown the glory of the skies,
Der those who slept two hundred years

Millinery for Children,

The millinery for children is exceedingly
dainty. A new trimming round fine straw
or silk hat is what is called dropping roses,
a band formed Of rose leaves, the roses them
selves elongating into long bands of falling
petals. bats ore much crumpled at the back
and no two would seem to be alike; the hats

only satin crowns piled up with ribbon and
other trimming. For young children caps
made Of loops Of narrow ribbon are placed
beneath the hat brins, but even for older
ones O band Of ribbon Is often introduced be

In soft silk are becoming IN the extreme to

wire, about five inches in diameter, and made
to fit down over the part Of the head that it
viii cover. The wires, just before the cap is
placed on the prisoners head, will be COW
cred with sponge, saturated with salt water.
The prisoner win be sitting on a chair in
his cell while these arrangements are being
put on. This chair, not differing apparently
from an ordinary one, but which is being
made especially for the purpose, will be con-
nected with wires leading to another room,
and the prisoner sitting in the chair will,
without knowing it, be subjected to a current
Of electricity too light to be felt, but heavy
enough to give an expert electrician in the
other room an exact measurement, by the
use of what is known as the "WhetStone
bridge" of electrical resistance of the man.
This will take only an instant, and will be
done before the officers have the prisoner
ready to leave the cell.
From the cell the procession viii be much
as now to the execution room, where the
deputies and other persons permitted by law
to witness the execution will be waiting.
Near the center of the room, raised upon a
small platform about eight inches above the
floor, will be a chair, made somewhat like a

frame that forms the slanting back will be of
hard wood pieces, three inches square, and
will be long enough so that if seven foot man
should lie in the chair his head would rest
upon the back.
The seat and arms viii be of plain wood
and without any peculiarities. The upper
part of the back frame on each side will be
fitted with slot, in which will slide back
and forth small arrangement with ring
at the top and a thumbscrew beneath. The
rings are to receive the hooks in the back of
the belt about the mans body, and the screws
are to fasten the arrangement in place at the

But let us begin at the beginning and enter
the exhibition grounds at the nearest point
to the heart Of the city; that is to say, at the
corner of the Esplanade des Invalides on the
Quai d'Orsay, in front of the foreign office.
To those who wish to hurry on to the most
interesting part of the show, to the Champ
de Mars, jaunty little narrow gauge rail-
road is ready to take them up and whisk
them in a few minutes to the center Of the
exhibition. But as we desire to see all that
is to be seen we will go on foot
And it is well that we turned our back on
the cars, SO tempting this rather warm wea-
ther, for some of the most curious sights of
the exhibition are found on this Esplanade
des Invalides. This immense open square,
stretching from the imposing old Hotel des
Invalides Soldiers home, as we should
say in America-to the river, Is devoted en-
tirely to the exhibits of the French colonies.
1t is not generally supposed that this country
has very extensive colonial possessions. But
an hour spent in this part of the exhibition
proves the contrary.
We find interesting exhibits from Guade-
loupe, Martinique, Cochin China, Algeria,
TonQuin and Tunis. There is Cochin China
village where you see not only the curious
constructions of that part of Asia, but also
the not less curious natives; native Anamites
and negroes from Madagascar; stately Arabs
from Algeria and yellow skinned Asiatics
from Anam; native soldiers from Tonquin
and workmen from Senegal-such are some
of the queer specimens of the human race
that are making themselves at home on the
Esplanade des Invalides.
Continuing along the river bank, which is
all inclosed and forms a part of the exhibi
ton grounds, we find ourselves in the midst
Of the agricultural exhibits of France and
the world at large. We see huge vegetables,
rich fruit. yellow grain, machinery for the
farm, wines, cider, beer, honey, everything,
in fact, that is produced by the earth, the
animals of the earth or by the talent of man,
for food and nutriment You might imagine
yourself at one Of our best agricultural fairs.
And here we are finally on the quay that
runs along in front of the Champ de Mars.

pass over the wires. Near it on the wall will
be small double pole switch, a brass instru-
nent similar TO the familiar, switches used
to shut of or let on the current wherever
electricity Is used, but designed especially to
show at glance whether the current is of or
on, IN order to prevent accidents which care
lessness IN handling the apparatus might
bring about. This will be all of the appa-

Relief for Swollen Feet.

People who have to stand for long periods
during the day, or who walh long distances,
often suffer considerably from a swelling Of
the feet They would probably derive some
benefit by using powder which has been in
troduced in the German army for sitting into
the stockings of the foot soldiers. 1t consists
of three parts of salicync acid, ten parts Of
starch, and eighty-seven parts Of pulvertzed
soapsUone. This powder keeps the feet dry,
prevents chatting, and heals any sore spots-
