Who Knows Whom He VIII Marry
Young men think they know just
what kind of a woman they will
marry, and they are sure that they
will marry no other. The result is
apt to prove them very much in error
as to what they think they will do
and will not do. They MARRYING
men marry some time but two
chances to three they marry a very
different lady from the kind they have
always dilated upon. A young man
who has pertinaciously insisted that
he will only marry brunette will, in
the end marry a blonde. A young
man who has always felt and said
that he would marry only a blonde
is very likely to marry brunette.
Such things come out very funnily
A pug nose has been the horror OF a
youthful sprig of fashion, and he has
been heard many times to express his
sentiments on that subject. Five
years after, he is seen proudly escort
ing a pug-nosed wife! Another could
never bear a "dumpy" woman. He,
after all, selects for wife the fattest
little woman he has ever known. A
third likes robust women, and always
has a dislike Of the lean-and- lank
order. By and by, the tallest
woman in the town has his
surname, with a "Mrs." prefxed to
it. You can tell better about the
weather afterwards than before; so
you can tell better after marriage
than before what kind of woman
was to be your wife.

'ANGLoMANfAc DRESS THEORY.
The Egg Tessed Views Of an Uptown
Is lNSWali OF New York.

The Egg ressed Views Of an Uptown
swail of New York.
One 81 the uptown swells has been
nboa2ming himself to me in a theory,
about dress. q
'Letme call your attention. y said
The swell, ssto the wav an American
man is liable to look. He dresses,
himself within an inch:ofhis life, laying
the greatest stress upon each detail in
a fussy, womanish kind OF a way,
trimming and polishing himself down
until he looks like a fashion-plate:
Not wrinkle in his coat, and his
trousers resting upon his shoes with
scarcely q drapery line in them: Every
'thing.is so;stiff and perfect that you
think OF the clothes first and the man,
If there is any, afterwards.
"Now, this is not q desirable thing.
You don't want to look like a tailor's
automaton, although it s Almighty nice
thing, you know, to have the fellows
struck on your clothes and always
asking who your tailor is and all that:
But here's the way the Englishman
feels about it: He says to himself, I
must LOOK superior to my clothes. L
cannot have people thinking OF my
clothes first and me afterwards, be-
cause am more important than my
Clothes
'"Thus the Englishman sets about
curing this condition. What does he
do? Why he refuses to let his clothes
fit him. That is to say, he insists
that he shall not be incased in hard
fittingcoa He breaks the conform
ity by Introducing wrinkleor so. He
likes to turn up his trousers because
it destroys that offensive stiffness OF
the contour. You saw how heinvent-
ed the sack overcoat. Some people
who want a glove fitting thing have
called that kind of a coat ugly. But
do you notice that man in such q
coat looks as if he was somebody? He
looks at once as if he were superior to
his clothes. That's the point. Take
my word for it, the Englishman has
the only correct theory about clothes
You must have that touch of negli-
gence, don'tyou know. Great theory"

PIONEER PRESS BUREAU OR CLAIMS.
Patents for Inventions

|, Equal with the interest OF those having claims
against the G Government is that OF INVENTORS,
who often lose the benefit OF valua bio inventions
because OF the incompetency OF inattention OF
the attorneys employed to obtain their patents.
Too much care cannot be exercised In employing
competent and reliable solicitors to procure
patents, for the value of q patent depends
greatly. if not entirely, upon the care and skill
OF the attorney
With the view OF protecting inventions from
worthless or careless attorneys, and OF seeing
that inventions are well protected by valid
patents, the PIONEER PRESS BUREAU has
retained counsel expert in patent practice, and
is therefore prepared to

The cars are provided with slides which
move in iron grooves, but are held above
tbs iron by hydraulic pressure, so as to
practically annihilate friction. They are
also propelled by hydraulic pressure, and
easily attain speed of 300 miles an
hour.
There have been during the week the
usual indications OF increasing interest
in the Exposition in foreign countries,
especially on the American continent.
The Governor General of Cuba, not con-
tent with organizing a commission of the
most prominent citizens of Havana to
look after the Cuban exhibit has now
ordered that similar commission be or
gained in every province of the island,
under the guidance of the Presidents of
the respective provincial Populations
News has been received also that the
President of San Salvador has accepted

position. and will soon appoint COM

proposes to have four natives weaving
an embroidery, four making Syrian mu-
sic, and four selling coffee, made and
served in Syrian fashion. Its greatest
attraction, however, will be a reproduc

in which the Apostle Paul was convert

The first sightseeing which visitors to
Chicago in 1893 will do will be, of course,
of the city itself-of its great wide,
busy thoroughfares and its magnificent
! buildings, ten, fourteen, and even eigh-
teen and twenty stories high. To see
this great, throbbing commercial heart
OF America, this marvellous young giant
among the chief cities of the world, even
though he does not spend the time neces-
sary to inspect it thoroughly, will alone
amply repay the visitor for going. But
a second surprise will await him when he
catches his first glimpse of jackson and
Washington Parks and the magnificent
array presented by the Exposition Build
ings. Beautiful as was the site-the
Champs de Mars-and its approaches,
and captivating to the admiration as

were the graceful and imposing edificeS
at the Paris Expositions of 1878 and
1889, it is believed that they will be sur
passed by those of the Columbian Ex-
position. The Chicago site is four times
as large and has frontage of two miles
on Lake Michigan, the second largest
body of fresh water on the globe. The
buildings will cover twice the area and
cost twice as much as did those at Paris
in 1889. Alone they will cost nearly fifty
per cent. more than the total expense at
tending the Paris Fair. The best archi-
tects in this country have prepared the
plans for the several buildings, and the
structures they have designed will eX-
hibit the highest achievements of Ameri-
can architecture.
More than $4, 900, 900, exclusive of the
cost of the land, has been spent on jack
son and Washington Parks, in laying
them out and identifying them. An
other million will be spent in improving
the former, which will be the chief loca-
tion of the Exposition. Additional
lawns, terraces, flower-beds, rustic seats,
walks, drives, and fountains will be con-

beach will be made charming resort for

The most delightful, probably, though
not the speediest means by which the
visitor may reach the Exposition
grounds, will be by steamboat on Lake
Michigan, A ride of six miles from the
embarking point at the Lake Front
Park, with the towers and gilded domes
CT the Fair buildings constantly in sight
will take him there. When abreast of

gay with myriads of flags and streamers
floating from their pinnacles and towers;

yet, but it is certain that they will be
numerous aE3 will vary greatly in size
and style of architecture. They will be

perhaps, the most interesting portion of

the group will stand the Illinois building,
400x150 in size, and costing S350,000 1t
