WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

An Ohio Worlds Fair commits
sioner has estimatedIthat the exhib
itors from his state will spend up
wards of $5,OOO,OOO in the prepara
tion of their exhibits for the exposi-
tion.
The California building at the fair
will be an imposing structure of the
cold mission" type, ITO by 500 feet,
with dome, and costing about $751;
900. 1t will be surrounded by a
hedge of Monterey cypress.
Michlgan's building will measure
l00xl40 feet, and be three stories
high. 1t will be constructed of Mich
igan material, which, with the furn-
ishings, will be donated. Though
but $4,000 of the appropriation will
be devoted to its erection, it will in
reality be $4,000 building.
Vermont will have a building at
the exposition without drawing on
the state appropriation for the cost
of its erection. One hundred sub
stantial citizens have guaranteed
$4,000 for that purpose, each one
ple1ging himself to pay 500.
Denmark will spend about 800
i'll showing, as leading feature of
its Worlds Fair exhibit, II Danish
dairy, complete and in operation.
The dairy interest is one of the most
important in Denmark, and the most
approved methods and mechanical
appliances are used in the daines of
that country.
The governments of Norway and
Sweden have, respectively, asked for
Worlds Fair appropriations of $6l,-
2Ss and $4,000. In Norway a num-
Der of private citizens are raising a
fund of $lO,72O, with which to build
and send to Chicago counterpart of
the Viking ship which was exhumod
near Sandeford a few years ago.
Connecticut held an enthusiastic
Worlds FAIR meeting at Hartford,
on Washington's birthday, ex-Gover-
nor Waller presiding. A committee
of sixteen, two from each county,
were appointed to look after the
states representation at the exposi-
ton. Sixteen lady managers were
also chosen. Subscriptions being
called for, $4,000 was pledged on
the spot. 1t is expected that the
when its deadlock is bro
ken, will reimburse the subscribers.

lucky, was suddenly stricken with
apoplexy this morning, and now lies
in very critical condition at his res
idence near the capitol. Mr.. Kendall
has been complaining for some days,
but it was not expected that an at

would result. Soon after being
stricken he relapsed into unconscious
ness, and has been in that condition
ever since. His son expresses grave
doubts as to his recovery. This was

The Roman soldiers who built
such wonderful roads, and carried a
weight of armor that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate in diet and
regular and constant in exercise.
This Spanish peasant works every
day and dances half the night, and
yet eats only his black bread, onion
and watermelon. The Smyrna por-
ter eats only little fruit and some
olives, yet he walks off with his load
of 100 pounds. The coolie, fed on
rice, is more active and can endure
more than the negro fed on fat meat
The heavy work of the world is not
done by men who eat the greatest
quantity. Moderation in diet seems
to be the prerequisite of endurance.

Observed Of Observers.

Senator Hill, when in Washington, is
the observed Of all observers ut the Arl-
ington Hotel When he walks through
the public corridors men crane theirnecks
to look at him, and when he appears in
the parlors women peer at him. a lady
who has met the Governor has this to say
of him: "There is no reason in the world
why Governor Hill should be a bachelor.
He 10 good looking, comparatively young,
and has very taking way with the ladies.
1t is mistake to suppose that women ad-
mire most the man who is forward and
bold. Gov. Hill il just little diffident
and the slight confusion he shows upon
meeting lady or attempting to converse
with her is the prettiest compliment he
could pay her. When woman finds that
man is sufficiently impressed with her to
get little bit nervous in her presence
She cannot help feeling iattered.
"There is one thing Gov. Hill ought to
do" she continued "Hc should cultivate
a more graceful gait. He stands we'll and
sits we'll, but when he walks he lifts his
feet like cow walking through the mud
do not know whether there is any truth
in the stories that the Senator is going to
be married, but | would like to bet some
body pair of gloves that he won't be a
bachelor by the end of his term in the
Senate or IN the White House"

of facial muscles, which appears SO con-
spicuouslv in his close-shaven face, would
enable him to make up with equal per-
lection as a representative of either tue
stage or the pulpit. His mouth is rather
wide and flexible, with lips which DO not
indicate any special development OF deter
mination or will power, although his
heavy, square jaw most cmphatically does.
His nose is long and of underlined shape,
dropping in three irregular waves from
his forehead to point which slightly over
hangs his wide nostrils His eyes are
erav and wide open. with prominent
bulge of the forehead stretching in an
even line over them. 1t is a high, some
what slopng forehead, which loses itself
in vague, underlined sort of point where
the hair has grown thin, but not thin
enough at any point to tempt irreverent
bows to remarks calculated to bring bears
down upon them. 1t was thick, black
hair once; in the face you can plainly see
the blue-b black traces Of q strong beard.
Altogether, Senator Carlisle's exterior
personality is so strongly striking and
original that you would at once select
him from any group of men as one re-
markable in some line Of intellectual de-
velopment With the first few words of
conversation with him YOU have evidence
of the extraordinary alertness and quick
ness of intellect for which he is noted. 1t
is said that ne grasps subject, no mat
ter how complex, with II lightnng-likc
rapidity and scatters from it with one
vigorous shake the chaff through which
slower men would have plodded for weary
hours; that he goes straight to the vital
point by sort of leaping intuition. In
conversation you see constant evidences
of this habit of mind Before You have
fairly begun to frame your own thought
in words, he has seized your idea and put
it and his comment on it in a few sharp,
clean-cut sentences.

that the people between those places

especially Louisville are the natural
places for our people to trade, and they
prefer to do their business in those Cities

man Skeen has called mass meeting OF
the Democrats of Wise county to meet at
Wise c. H. on the first day of the April
term of the County Court fer the purpose
of sending delegates to this convention.
There should be large meeting at this
time and much care should be taken in
the selection Of the delegates. We want
men in this convention who will vote to
send an uninstructcd delegation of strong,
safe and conservative men to Chicago that
will strive for the nomination of a candi-
date for the Presidency who can win. The
delegates to the Chicago Convention SHOULD
be men who are willing to lay aside their
personal preferences in order to nominate
q candidate that can carry the country
There's hould be no sentimental following
after the banner Of any man no matter how
good and great he may be, if it is evident
that he cannot carry the Democratic BAN
ner TO success. Success should be the
battle.cry or the Democrats at Chicago
and nothing should be allowed to stand
in the wav of putting up man that can
win success.
