The snake editors all over the country. and all who take such special pleasure in writing of snakes, should not fail to visit the natural history building at the worlds fair, for there they will find the biggest collection of the reptiles that has ever been made. Donald Burns, for many years an animal trainer under P. T. Bar nun, proposes to have colossal den of snakes, embracing every variety known. Fifty different species are already in readiness. They will be placed in glass compartment s enclosing miniature parks, rocks and other objects dear to serpents. Hindu snake-charmers will be imported with the cobras, and scenes in snake charming will take place before a repro duction of native hut. Hideous as these creatures are, there is strange fascination in watching them. They will probably be one of the greatest drawing cards of the fair.

What Your Great Grandmother Did.

w M0O 4VuA OACAb Uk 0nuhbVOHVA DAus
 She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow, and made the clothes for her husband and ten children. She made butter and cheese, she dipped tallow candles to light the house at night, and she cooked all the food for her household by an open fro place and a brick oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of age, she was already an old lady whose best days were over. Her shoulders were bent and her joints enlarged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and a cap.
 Her great granddaughter, with all the modern conveniences for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and attract i've at forty-f -fivo as at twenty. Especially is this true if she preserves her health by the use of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription, which wards off all female ailments and ir- regularities, cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the woman of middle age to re- tain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and its elasticity in her step.
 Go to your drug store, pay dollar, get a bottle and try it-try 0 second, third if nec- essary Before tho third one's been taken you'll know that there's Q remedy to help you. Then you'll keep on and cure'll come.
 But if you shouldn't feel the help, should be disappointed in the results - you'll find a guarantee printed on the bottie-wrapper that'u get your money back for you.
 Can you ask more?

LOVE LAUGHS AT LEPERs. Rose Gertrude of Great Britain, who a year or tW0stago gained worldwide fame by offer ing to devote her life to the care of the lepers at Molokai, Hawaiian Islands; as the successor of Father Damien, "left for Honolulu with a halo of martyrdom about herahead." But Cupid upset her entirely. She never went nearer the suffering island than the hospital at Honolulu, and now she gets back to San Francisco with hus- band, Dr. Luetz, a young physician of the hospital.
 On the same steamer with Sister Rose Gertrude was Dr. s. B. Swift, a woman physician who remained in Molokai four years, where her husband was superintend- ent. She had an infant child with her, but she said she never felt fear. She gave all her time to lepers, but never received a word of praise for her devotion.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Illinois prohibitlonists are planning o disinter an old state statute, forbidding the sale of liquor within two miles of Q county fair, and apply it in the case of the Columbian exposition. The big fair of course is, strictly speaking, worlds fair, but it is none the less strictly speak ing county fair. It is a city fair, a town fair, a county und state fair, just as well as it is a worlds fair, and it would seem as if the old statute would be effectual to settle the fair liquor question.

"N-no, sir!" thundered Jesse. s'I am getting my eyes open. heard her. She said it would make her brother drunk ard, and it broke her grandmother's heart. The fool I was not to see It. And you would have struck her like dog? Rum makes slave of the man and knocks over the woman who says word. N-no, sir!" he roared again. "Got my eyes open! Come, Alice"
 Of they went together.
 "Wall!" muttered Joslyn. "'Tis the most surprisenest thing!"
 So it was to Alice also. She dared not say word, fearful lest the sound of her voice might destroy the spell that strange ly bound her brother.
 Hurry, hurry! Iwant to see granny" said Jesse.
 They almost ran. They reached the door of the home.
 ''There goes the sum-" said Jesse, as he entered.
 It rested on the sea, one great globe of fire.
 "Uncle Ben Nickerson has lighted up, then, or he will do it," thought Alice, looking at the lighthouse tower. No, the lantern was a mass of shadow up in the air. It suddenly came to her that the keeper had gone away intending to be back at sunset-the lighting-up hour.
 "He has not got back yet," thought Alice. "Joslyn will complain of him if the lantern is not lighted. Joslyn hates him because he is temperance. I-I-TH light up for Uncle Ben; see if don't! I can, know"
 She ran to the tower-door; she ran up the winding stairs; she reached the lan- tern; hastily scratched a match; and, as the last bit of the suns disk was quench- ed in the western sea, the soft glow of Alices light shone within the lantern. Then Alice went hurriedly down.
 "Now Joslyn can't say Uncle Ben is behind time, and Joslyn hasn't got Jesse"
 No, Jesse was safe in granny's kitchen and what did Alice see them doing when she entered? Kneeling in prayer? Yes; and when they arose, he said: "Now I'll sign the pledge" But who had entered the little kitchen Somebody that broke out into the excla- nation:
 "Who lighted up for me?" It was Uncle Ben. The glowing eyes of Alice told him 10 whom he was indebt- ed. He saw that. Jesse was now speaking:
 "Uncle Ben, granny has been praying for me, and am going to sign the pledge, and want you to witness it."
 "Signin' the pledge! Good for you, Jesse! Now tell ye what. Ineed help. 1 If it hadn't been for Alice here, my lan- tern wouldn't have been lighted up for me in time, and should have got censur- ed. You sign the pledge-that's all I want-and I'll give ye a job helpin' me at | the light; worth more to ye than all your fishin. Will ye? Sign and stick?
 Jesse's head nodded promptly.
 "With Gods help" he cried.
 An. what happy home that was that night! The hollow never seemed so peaceful; God never seemed so near.

 "And that means a general reduction of duties on imports ?"
 Certainly"
 "To be followed by larger importa- tion of foreign-made cheap articles p
 "Of course, and what we are after is lower piices. '@Of course, and the low prices will re- suit in decreased demand for our home products ?'' Naturally, yes."
 "And that means closing American 1 workshops and sending workmen to the 1 farms"
 ''Well, haven't we millions of acres of the best land in the world?'
 "Sure, and when all these workmen get to be farmers the increased supply of farm products, with no factory hands to buy the stuff, will push prices down to starvation point and the farmers will have to quit the business
 stBut we shall have lower prices.'
 "Who is 'we'? With the workingmen in factories changed to farmers, and the farmers starved and mortgaged out of ex- istence, what have you got left to com- pose your we to whom low prices will be such benefit ?''

holes giving place to trim lawns, gardens
and clumps of trees; the wooded island,
which will be thing of beauty; graceful
lagoons wind in and out among the pala-
tial buildings, giving access to them by
water as well as by land; one of the hand
soonest beach promenades in the world,
which will be favorite resort in the warm

and decorated in colors and mural adorn-
ments by artists from all over the country,
and seventeen minor buildings, including
the battleship, the casino, colonnade,
music hall, peristyle and others devoted to
the practical workings of the fair.
In addition to these, twenty-eight state
and foreign buildings in various styles of
architecture are rapidly coming forward
along the main avenue and in the northern
part of the grounds and eleven special
buildings are going up in other places.
Besides these the Exposition company has
to build an intramural railway, bridges,
electric subways, fountains, obelisks and
other works which will combine use and
beauty and add to the general effect of
the grounds. There can be no doubt that

respects that appeal to the senses and the,
taste even of the most critical, jackson
