woa.D.a FAIR NOTES.


! AN extensive display of postage
stamps may be expected at the worlds
fair.
PERU has appropriated twenty-five
thousand dollars to defray the expense
of making its exhibit at the exposition.
THE construction department of the
exposition states that by August fully
thirty thousand men will be at work on
the worlds fair buildings in jackson
park.
THE American Indians want to be
represented by an exhibit at the worlds
fair, and at the agencies in the west
they are signing petitions to be granted
the privilege.
ONE of the interesting objects which
will be exhibited at the worlds fair is a
table, made from the timber of the
house in Funchal, Madeira, in which
Columbus lived.
GUATEMALA will send its national
band to the exposition. This band is
the third largest in the world, that of
Austria being first, and the Mexican ma
tional band second.
THE sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars has been appropriated
by the exposition directory for the con-
struction of pier extending fifteen hum
bred feet or more into Lake Michigan
at jackson park, and for an ornamental
casino at its extremity.

OSCAR WnDE's mother has suffered
heavy losses through loss of rents from

Curious Fears of the People Who Use
That Kind of Furniture.

Curious Fears of the People Who Use
That Kind of Furniture.
The general adoption of brass and
iron bedsteads has brought about many
curious whims and theories, says the
Upholsterer.
Not long ago woman called at a
New York retailers for san electric
nonconductor The salesman assured
her he didn't know of any such thing,
unless she tackled up lightning rod,
but she insisted she had seen them in
use among friends in Washington.
She described them rather vaguely as
cup like a soup-bowl, which stands in
one of the corners of the bedsteads-
though exactly how this would be a
nonconductor she was not in a position
to explain.
''We have" said the dealer, when the
lady, with a sense of superiority and
contempt for man so slow in his bust
ness, had departed-''w have," said
the dealer, throwing lightly to the
winds a few hot epithets-''we have all
sorts of cranlzs come in here since brass
bedsteads have prevailed. One woman
is afraid that brass bedsteads will make
her nervous, that they will rob her of all
her electricity; while another will insist
upon having them because she under
stands that they charge the bed with
just that vital force, and then they
kick if our charge is too high-ha-a
joke.
''Most women seem to agree that they
attract lightning, and it is difficult for
me to explain that they don't. Some
few think that they tarnish easily;
others rather mistily fear that they need
the same polishing that you put on the
handle of the big front door, but with
all the many fears and prejudiees the
goods are selling steadily more and
more every day. Now, how do you ac-
count for that?
Regarding this glass cup scheme,
woman called here lately and, instead
of wishing the cup at the top of the bed,
she asked for cups in which to rest the
casters. | told her we sometimes sold
such things, but the people that bought
them filed them with vinegar to keep
reaches from climbingup. l will never
forget the look she gave me.
you would be surprised to know
how many demand glass casters. How
these ideas originated, heaven knows,
but it's fact that nine people out of
ten who buy brass bedstead buy it |
contingent upon certain notifications
which they think are needed. but which |
the manufacturer, strange to say, never
thought at all necessary to put on them.
The structure that meets all prejudices,
all demands has not been made"
