A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT.


A Big Tree Which VIII be seen at Chi
cago.
Among the wonderful exhibits with
which Chicago hopes to startle the
visitor to the Worlds Fair, it is likely
that none will create more comment
from Europeans than the big tree sent
from California.
This specimen is from Mammoth
Forest, Tulare County, California, and
measures ~ feet in circumference at the
base. l. Is 30 feet in height and the
distance from the base to the first limb
is IL feet. The tree is nearly three
thousand years old The story Of the
Telling Of the tree is an interesting one.
A scatiod was built around this giant of
| the forest al point twenty-five feet from
the ground. The saw used in cutting
| was twenty-five feet in length. The
tree was cut Twenty-Five feet from the
ground. Ten expert woodsmen We're
| employed five months and twelve days
| in the cutting, but when the crash did
come it was heard three miles away. In
its fall the big fellow ilnbedded himself
| six feet in the ground. After the upper
part Of the tree fell the top of the stump
was levelled oil and IA section nine feet
| III height cut from it. To get this section
! from the forest il was necessary to
! build a road for four miles and indulge
in much blasting and bridge building.
Since then it has been shipped to New
Orleans. There section OF the tree
been cut out AMI hung on enormous
hinges, the interior has been followed
out and now can comfortably hold more
than 100 visitors. This unique exhibit
has been fitted up with 80 incandes-

Her Dress Fitted.

\ lady writes to one of the London
society papers the following remarkable
story, which is very illustrative of the
mass of twaddle constantly written
about the American girl in Europe. She
dates her letter from Nice and con
tinueS:
"A pretty Boston girl was going to a
very smart dinner one night AMI an
equally smart ball the next. She wore
white dress, and TINS is how she made
sure of the white kid bodice being quite
perfect in fit She has very good
natural figure, and has acquired an ex-
tIrmciy slender waist, which was laced
into its smallest possible limit. On this
occasion the kid was damped and then
sewn on, so as TO have no visible fasten-
ing. The result was that after sitting in
warm room for two hours her figure
was as neatly encased as if in tight lit
ting glove. The same damping process
was followed with regard to the tiny
white shoes, which were made TO tit her
bare feet tightly, and thus insure very
good fit over stockings. She did not UNI
dress for the two days, resting on a SOFA
for the night and wearing a thin dress
over her white kid bodice in the dav
She was immensely admired bv all the
! men she met on both nights. and the

testified to the fact that her exquisite

trouble, has reaped Il reward.

How n Girl Throws.

The difference between a girls throw
ing and boys is substantially this !:
The boy crooks his elbow and reaches
back with the upper part of his arm
about at right angles with his body and
the forearm at an angle of i5o.
The direct act of throwing is accom-
plished by bringing the arm back with a
sort Of snap, working every Joint from
shoulder TO wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid, the boy with his whole arm re-
Taxed Why this marked and unmis-
taxable difference exists may be eX-
planned by the fact that the clavIcle or
collar bone in the feminine anatomy is
some inches longer and set some degrees
lower down than in the masculine frame
The long. crooked, AWKWARD bone inter
feres with the full and free use of the
arm. This is the reason why a girl can
not throw stone.
