Leading papers of the country are
uniting in calling halt on the captious
criticisms which are being made upon
Chicago in connection with the Worlds
Fair. Such attacks are nearly all
inspired by local iealousies. They are
narrow and bigoted. They should
be frowned upon. A great many
people would have preferred a
different location for the fair. But
all could not be suited in this mat.
ter. Chicago displayed commendablc
energy and enterprise and secured the
prize. Such being the case but one
course properly remains for the patriotic
people of the country, viz: to unite
cordially with the people of Chicago in
making this great exposition brilliant
success, and m event in our national
history in every way worthy of a great
progressive country. There appears to
be no ground whatever for the assump-
ton that sufficient funds to push mat
tiers will not be Forthcoming. The
people of Chicago have already sub.
scribed 5000, 900 and will be author
lied by the state Legislature to issue its
bonds for 81, 900. coo more. Should an
other $1,000. 900 be needed il will GER
tainly he secured. The people of Chi
csgo will probably subscribe it. If this
is not done the gate receipts can be
bonded or, rs was done at the Paris
exposition, there may be an advance
sale of tickets. The financial problem
will be by no means the greatest that
this vast enterprise will present. The
people of this country should feel
deep national pride ia exhibiting its
magnificent resources to the world.

An Oriental Story with a Decidedly Amer
team Flavor.
. Many years ago, says the Philadelphia
Times, there lived in an Eastern land O
man who was prominent and thought
to be rich. When he died, however, 1t
was found his possessions were very
slight indeed. In his will, among some
trifling legacies, was the following:
"Of the three young men who con-
slider themselves my children, have
just claim to one alone. The others are
not of my blood, but adopted. / will
not say who the rightful heir is, but
have left the matter to the decision Of
the Cadi. In his possession is one thou
sand pieces of gold, which will be given
to my true child after he has proved his
claim"
The three reputed sons at once re-
paired to the Cadi. He thereupon handed
each OF them gold ring, saying:
Take this ring and go about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use the
jewel as talisman, watch over it, pre-
serve 1t, and after three years return to
me. I will then announce who is the
true son of his father and deliver to
him the thousand pieces of gold"
The boys at once withdrew and dis
appeared in different directions amid
the crowded haunts of men. They
never crossed each others path nor
heard of one another, but at the up
pointed time again made their appear
ancc before the Cadi for veal or woe.
"Whcre is your ring?" he asked of the
first and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the
judge with the remarl1: ut is here.
1t has brought me luck. have had
good worldly fortune. and oil goes well
with me-"
Then was questioned the second.
Here is my ring" He opened his
cloak and showed it, bound round his
neck by silk ribbon. Fortune has
followed my every footstep. 1t has been
q continual blessing"
AT last tho Cadi turned to the
youngest.
'Well, and where is your ringP" The
boy was silent. A blush stole DER his
face and his eyes fell to the earth.
Then. after struggle, he managed to
say:
II haven't got it. I've pawned it."
The Cadi, handing him over the thou
sand pieces of gold, cried:
THE money is yours by your dis
posal of the ring recognize that you
are really your fathers SON."

| How tho Bavnrians Amuse Themselves
|" ~ Long Winter Evenings.

y, ..,.-s g'.2' 80 81
How tho Bavarians Amuso Themselves
s. Long Winter Evenings.
AS to amusement, you may trust q
Bavarian not to be behind In that. The
men meet almost nightly in the different
inns and beer-houses, according to their
status in the local society, where they
have talk, singing, music, cards, ETC.,
the large glass mugs of beer ut their
side being constantly replcnished. The
beer is fortunately light and whole
some, but the amount drunk is serious
expense, and much more than the men
usually can properly afford.
Besides these nightly gatherings
there arc different clubs or societies
that meet at certain times at one or
other of the inns for an evenings
amusement, some of them under the
patronage of the priest. In many of
them the women join, but the women's
chief entertainments aro kunli or spin
ming parties ut home, and very coy and
picturesque these spinning parties are.
The great feature in Bavarian sit
ting-room Is the large porcelain stove
that stands out into the room, and that
Is usually lit from the passage outside.
Round this stove a bench runs, making
delightfully."- warm seat, the back being
the porcelain stove.
But besides this stove, In the older
houses there is in the wall hole with
chimney, where q particular sort of
pine, that burns brightly without send
ing out sparks, is burned ut night for
the purpose Of light only. In olden
times, when such luxuries as lamps
were unthought of, it was often the
only means of illumination. Some still
use them constantly; others keep them
only for festive occasions. man (gcn-
orally the wag or story-tellcr of the
party) sits beside it to keep it replen-
ished The women have their spinning
wheels or knitting, and the men sit in
the darker corners; and there are al
ways some to sing songs or tell stories
or keep the fun going in some way.
One such scene especially recurs to
me, says IL writer in the National Re-
view. Imagine an old, darl1-panclled
room. In her armchair, close to tho
stove, in the full light of the blazing
pine wood, sits the handsome old hos
tress, in her picturesque costume, busy
with her spinning wheel A young
woman with wheel is in an opposite
corner. Three daughters knitting and
guests sit in circle, moro or less, the
light playing on the varied faces md
time-worn furniture as bright freight
alone can.
One man has a. guitar, and two young
girls sing Tyrolese songs and the com
positions of one of the men present
pleasantly together. AT last schnapps
Of different kinds 10 sort of cheap
liqucurs) and delicious coffee, with
homemade cake, arc handedround, and
the evening ends with hearty farewell
greetings.
