The Texas Spring Palace is an original
conception for presenting to the public
the products and resources of the state.
1t is not fair, in any sense of the term,
but 'Karporama "a picture of the
fruits of the soil, the orchard, the gar
den, the farm, the forest, the mines,
the streams-each wrought into form
and shape with great ingenuity and ar
tistic skill. The visitor who attends the
Palace to see crazy quilts, lace handker-
chiefs, embroidery, threshing machines,
clothes wTingers, ETC., ETC., will find
these articles conspicuous only by their
absence. The grains of the country he
will find represented by beautiful pic
ture of the goddess of the forest, con-
structed of cereals, and clad in raiment
made of the same material, the whole
presenting a veritable picture, beautiful,
attractive and pleasing. Every product
of the soil is treated IN the same mannsr,
and when finished the whole RREae pre-
sents more the appearances OF a scene
from Fairyland ,thsasR gathering of the
products of theeartE.
In addtssan to this the threshed grains
audsther products are presented by
in show cases, on shelves and in
glass jars, neatly arranged for exhibit
ton.
The birds of the state are there, treated
by the Taxidermist' 3 art, and the fishes
swimming in their native element, in
glass aquariums. There are also the
song birds by the hundreds, whose voices
fill the building with sweet notes, attest
ing their appreciation of the beautiful
scene that surrounds them. It were
futile to attempt a description Of this
wonderful work. A few have attempted
it, and we reproduce the efforts of some
of the more distinguished. The Fort
Collins (Col.) Courier condensed the
whole in q single sentence, exclaiming:
'It rivals all the visions of youthful
fancy
The Bucyrus (Ohio) Telegraph, reoog-
nizing the poverty of the English Ian
guage to do the subject justice, said:
at is indescribable. The greatest ex-
position aver before the people. One Is
dazed by the splendor which greets the
eye.''
The Evansville Qnd.) Courier said:
alt is a magnificent structure, built
entirely of products from Texas. 1t is a
grand object lesson, showing the world,
at a glance, what Texas is, and what she
has to offer to capital and immigration. -

effort to enlarge upon it to some extent,

Chronic Nasal Catarrh. I had made
every effort to get rid of it, and en-
ployed number OF first-olass physicians
to treat me, but failed to get any ,Falief.
Then started to be my own doctor. [
tried al the various popular catarrh
remedies-gave them all full, fair, ex-
tended trials, and found that, whatever
they were said to have done for others,
they didn't I'LL the bill in my oaseSt'
PoLYPUs.
"Then began q new phase of suffering.
Polypi, those terrible tumors which grow
out of certain forms of catarrh, begahtO
develop in my nose. Then [ began
among the surgeons. Every one whom
l consulted said he could remove them
but that the polypus was that sort of
tumor that, even if removed, there was
nineteen chances out of twenty it would
grow again.
''About this time some one, to whom
my case was familiar, said to me one day:
why don't you go and see Dr.. Hart
man? He is one of the greatest surgeons
of the time l thought I d make just one
more trial. So 1 called on DR.. Hart
man. After careful and thorough ex-
animation he said be could remove the
Polypus, and what was more to the pur-
pose, remove it in such way
that it would never return. This
was, indeed, good news. He re-
moved the Polypus, without pain. The
Polypus did not return, and now the
danger of its dong so is past. My nose
is as clear as anybody's and can
breathe through it as well as ever.
The Doctors success in removing the
nasal tumors gave me confidence in him
and I wanted him TO cure the Cetarrh
and make me whole again completely.
He advised me to use La-cu- pi-a, and
tanned in little book he gave me called
The Ills of Life. IF you do this,
said the doctor, I'm guarantee you II
get rid of the oatarrh, of long-stand-
ing as it is, just as easy as you did OF
the pOlypus. Well, to make a long
story short, [ began to use the La-cu-
pi-a, following the directions in the
pamphlet, and L am at this day a thor
oughly sound man.
My catarrh is all gone. my throat and
nasal passages are as clear and unOb-
structed and healthy as nature intended
them to be. I tell you there is no med
iclne to compare with La cu-pi-a for this
terrible disease, IN the form L had it. L
know that La-cu-pia alone saved my

Patrick j. Mcclure, General Secretary
United Brotherhood Carpenters and
JOIners of America.
The carefully planned fight Of the
American Federation of Labor for the
general recognition of an eight-hour
work day was inaugurated in Chicago on
Monday by the strike of the 1000 carpen-
tiers of that city. At the national con-
vention OF the American Federation of
Labor held in Boston in December last, it
was resolved to enter upon struggle for
the eight-hour work day, and to pro-
mote this strike in the various trades.
The carpenters and joiners trade was
selected as the one in which to initiate
the fight, and Chicago has become the
scene of the opening skirmish. The
knights of the plane are organized
under the title of the United Broth
erhood Carpenters and Joiners of
America, an order which is composed of
SCI branches or local unions, with a total
membership of 10 900. This powerful
body was first organized through the eff
forts of Patrick j. Mcclure, who was
born in the city of New York in 1852.
He learned the carpenters trade in his
native city, and in 1882 began that agi-
tation and series of tours throughout the
country which resulted in the national
organization of his fellow craftsmen.
Mcclure established and became the ed
itor of the Carpenter, which is the off,
cial newspaper and organ of the trade.

Some Peculiar Plants.


A very funny plant in the govern
ment botanical garden, says a Wash
ington letter to the Boston transcript,
is the so-called barber plant, the leaves
of which are used in some parts of the
east by rubbing on the face to keep the
beard from growing. 1t is not sup
posed to have any effect on beard
that is already rooted, but merely to
act as a preventative. boys employing
Ii to keep the hair from getting a start
on their face. 1t is also employed by
some Oriental people who desire to
keep parts of their heads free from
hair, as Il matter of fashion.
Also found in the botanical garden is
the ''cruel plant which is so desig-
mated because it catches butterflies and
kills them for sport. Its flowers at
tract the poor little fiutterer by the
honey it offers, and when the victim
lights upon it it grabs the butterfly by
the head and holds it fast until the
captive dies. Then the flower drops il
on the ground and lies in wait for a
fresh unfortunate.

The Modern Literary Sneak.

The greatest danger in literature to-
day is not from what can be truthfully
called sinful books, says Edward w.
Box, in the LADIES' Home Journal, so
much as from what is termed the .'sug-
gestive" novel, in which sin is gilded
and limited at, but not openly told.
And this is the novel which is working
infinite damage to hundreds and thou
sands Of girls and women. Let an au-
thor write novel in which sin is OPEN
ly portrayed, and the law lays his
hand upon him and the publisher who,
issues it. Besides, such book is rare
ly successful, since it cannot find an
open market, and sin openly told is al
ways revolving even to the most hard
ened mind. But it is the suggestive"
novel, which actually tells nothing. yet
suggests the most debasing vices. The
author knows Just how far he can 90
in his nefarious traffic, and keep on the
safe side of the law. With supreme
effort, l can command certain amount
of respect for really debasing novel
ist, for, in showing his true colors, he
is like Il dangerous shoaf which can
avoid. But the ''suggestiven novelist
is literary sneak and coward. Like
a midnight assassin he pursues his
trade in the dark, afraid of the Ii ght of
day. He will hint at vice, suggest it
and color it; but there is where he
stops Close with him in personal
conversation, and he will grin at his
literary cowardice and tell you that he
means nothing. These are the books
which are dangerous, since they rob
the vices which they portray Of their
hideousness and make them attractive.
