The Greatest Building in the
World,

An astonishing feature of the Column
bian Exposition will be one of the
palaces grouped in the heart of the fair
grounds. 1t is the Manufactures
Building. designed by Mr.. George
Post, of New York. 1t will bear the
same relation to this exposition as the
Eitfel Tower did to that of Paris in
1885, and, indeed, its possible use as a
vantage-poin from which to see the
fair grounds has terminated i'll the
negative the discussion for and against
the construction in Chicago of rival
to the great tower of Paris. This
greatest of all the exposition build
ings, and of the buildings of the world
will present to Lake Michigan facade
of such length as TO suggest the wall
of city. yet it is so admirably de-
signed, so light and graceful in its eff
feet upon the vision, that its true ex-
tent can only be comprehended when
its dimensions are expressed in figures
and by comparisons. 1t is one-third
of mile long. and to compass it round
about is to walk mile. The roof of
it is 1858 by 7SS feet, and the span of
the dome. the largest ever attempted,
is 3S8 feet. The roof is 230 feet from
the ground, and the building has 40
acres of ground-Aoor. Two Of the
vast machinery halls of the Paris Ex-
position could be wheeled through it,
and the Auditorium, the building of
which Chicago is most proud, could be
pushed under this great roof, tower
and all.-JuLtan Ralph in Rarper's S

When the train pulled into the way
station the young woman was standing
on the platform surrounded by several
other young women, who were all talk
ing at once, says the Brandon Buck
Sda0. The young man stood a short
distance away, holding big valise.
Hop on there Maria!' he cried out
"Don't be all day about it."
Every girl in the crowd. with the
exception of the one addressed, ex-
claimed, 'Oh!' and looked as though
something dreadful had happened. She
retorted:
Hop on yourself if you want to.
I'm coming"
The other girls said "Oh!' again. and
the young man got on the train. Then
he called out again:
Cant you get move on you,
MariaP You'll talk the arm off some
one."
''Pll come when get ready. Jacob!"
she returned.
Then she hastily kissed the girls
good-by and boarded the train. while
they retired to corner of the station
and held whispered conference over
something that seemed to trouble
them.
Flop down there!' he said, as they
came to a double seat. You don't
mind riding backward, and it bothers
me-"
She sat down and he put big valise
on the seat beside her, and then settled
himself comfortably on the other seat,
while the old lady two seats behind ex-

For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading a
newspaper and she was looking out of
the window. But every minute or
two he glanced at her over the top of
mis- paper and her gaze frequently rest
ed on his face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him
with the exclamation:
Jacob, do you need every paper in
this car?'
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.
II wonder you didn't think of it be-
fore" she said.
You're able to speak if you want
anythingr' he returned. ''You'Y We got a
tongue"
1ueFe were more comments from
various portions of the car, and every
eye was fixed on him or the young wo-
man who was looking shyly over the
top of her paper. He threw his down.
Maria, y he said, they've sized US
upi We can't fool 'em, and there is
no use trying"
Perhaps we overdid it. Jacob"
Perhaps we did," he said; "but this
is better anyway"
Then he kicked the paper into the
aisle, and they carried on a whispering
conversation for ninety miles.
