tory of that institution and its desper-
ate struggle for existence. 1t finally
had to succumb to the tendency of the
age, for this is tine for great things
Small enterprises have but little pros
pect of success, big ores will nearly
always succeed Every business man
will tell you that capital can always be
bad for great enterprises but is slow to
go into anything on small scale. And
all this is more emphatically true in
Chicago than elsewhere, as this city
is in the most pronounced sense the
typical representative of that modern
civilization which develops the great,
the colossal IN many respects.
This tendency is apparent in every
thing that goes on around us. Take
the worlds fair. 1t was the most stu
pendous thing. even of an international
character, ever conceived by the hu-
man mind, even when it was first
thought Of And yet it continued to
grow and expand of its own force,
and its managers could do nothing
but yield to the impetus which they
mad given and try to provide the
means to carry out the huge plans
which the enterprise itself suggested.
Some people have criticised them for
allowing the thing to grow as it did
and not checking its development. 1t
has been said by some persons that it
was a sheer waste of money to put up
such magnificent palaces to put in the
exhibits, that it was sufficient to pro-
vide shelter for them without any great
architectural display. But would not
the exposition be deprived of it's most
impressive characteristics if the archi-
tectural features were left out and the
exhibits stalled in some huge barn-like
structures?' | am inclined to commend
the worlds fair management for this
above all things, that they tried to de-
velop and emphasize the educational
features of the fair. And architecture
is, as said before, one of the most pow
erful aids of education. 1t has always
stood as the expression in symbolic
form of the highest thoughts Of man.
1t commenced in edifices devoted to Di-
vine worship; It has chung to that idea,
and ever devoted its greatest efforts to

expression of that which is best in man;
it represents his yearning to elevate
himself TO place himself In connection
with the divine essence of the world.
There is no product of human art so
elevating and ennobling as a fine build
ing, nothing that raises man above the
sordid feelings of everyday life, moth
ing SO grand, so imposing, so lofty in
its influence upon the human mind.
OF such character will be the lesson
that the exposition is intended to con-
vey and there is nothing that will SO
promote it and SO firmly impress it
upon the visitor as its architectural
features. They may not be original.
but they are beautiful and great, and
that is what men admire and look up
to. H. Z. o. HEISESTANN.

DYING MADE EASY.
Introduction of tho GuiIIotine Into the
French Colony of Tonquin.


French Colony of Tonquin.
1t is said that the guillotine has re-
Gently been introduced By the French
into their colony of Tonquin. Our
neighbors, as all the world is aware,
have had, and still have, plenty OF
work to do in the way of eXterminating
piracy in that vast and as yet unre-
munerative possession. And the meth
cd by which they endeavor to exter-
inmate the pirate (when they catch
him, which. as Il rule, they do mott Is
that of decapitation. That ceremony
has hitherto been performed in the
primitive and rather barbarous native
way. The culprit, being placed in a
convenient position, used TO light a Gig
arctic and wait for the eXecutiOner to
take a shot at his neck with big
sword. Sometimes the headsman aimed
straight and sometimes he did not, and
feeling has long existed among gem
tlemen of the piratical profession that
an execution thus executed was dis
tinctly an unpleasant process for the
patient. Consequently the introduction
of the wood of Justice has by no
means produced the effect which the
French authorities desired and expected.
Instead of being impressed with the
horror of this mode of execution, the
natives of Tonquin are said to be highly
delighted with it. In fact, they regard
the guillotine as a most ingenious
article de Paris, and they have already
witnessed one execution with every
demonstration of enthusiasm. Dying,
they say. is made so delightfully."- easy
by this admirable invention of superior
European intelligence. The result is
that considerable satisfaction is ex-
pressed in piratical circles, and it is
confidently anticipated that piracy will
shortly increase very considerably, as
nobody in Tonquin would mind being
abbreviated instantaneously by the
guillotine. Death, in short, has lost
most of its terror because the process
of dy ing has been rendered SO simple

Double Yolked Eggs.

The Matching of double yolked egg
is not by any means rarity. But it is
a very rare occurrence indeed for such
an egg to produce two perfect chickens.
Cases of this kind have, however, oc-
Cured from time to time. One was
duly authenticated in an English agri-
cultural paper some years ago, and the
stuffed figures of couple of chickens
which emerged from one and the same
egg arc to be found in the British mu-
scum. A few cases have been authenti-
Gated of the appearance from single
egg of two chickens joined together by
a wing or a leg, but, as a general rule,
when a double yolked egg is Matched
the result is mOnstrosity in the shape
of chick with two heads or two pairs
of legs. Many people think that the
production of two perfect chickens from
u double yolked egg is by no means I'M
common, because settings. which they
have placed under fowls have yielded
one or more chickens than the number
of eggs. 1t is, however, far more prob
able that cases of this kind result from
the fowl having laid another egg after
she had commenced her task of incuba-
tion.-Chicago Herald.
