OLD FRIENDS.

There are no friends like old friends,
And none so good and true;
We greet them when we meet them,
As roses greet the dew:
No other friends are dearcr,
Though born of kindred mold:
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the Old.
There are no friends like old friends,
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
Der litc's uneven road;
And when unconqucrcd sorrows
The weary hours invest
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best
There are no friends like old friends,
Where 'er we dwell or roam
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds of home:
And when they smile 10 gladden.,
Or sometimes frown 10 guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side
There are no friends like old friends,
10 calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years;
And when our faltcring footsteps
Approach the Great Divide,
Wen long to meet the old friends
Who wait the other side.

A GIGANTIC GLOBE.
Exhibit of tho Government General Land

An interesting feature of the govern
ment exhibit at the worlds fair will be
a model of the earth, with all the
geometrical accuracy that mechanism
and art can give to such difficult rep
resentation. 1t is intended to form
part of the exhibit from the general
land Office of the interior department.
So far as known it is the largest
globe ever constructed. The pedestal
for the gigantic globe will, with It's in
genious construction, afford opportuni-
ty for the display of six big maps of
the new states of Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, Washington and the two Da-
i1otas. The edifice may be entered
through five doorways. A circular
apartment i'll the center of the globes

globe. An interior stairway will af-
ford access to a balcony around tho
base of the globe, which will be sup
ported on a horizontal axis, turned by
n small motor, instead of being placed
at an angle of 6716 degrees, as the
world is actually hung in space. Tho
globe is about 63 feet in circumference,
with diameter of 20 feet, superficial
area of 1885 feet and weight of 1000
pounds. 1t will bear upon it's surface

them soft and peculiarly beautiful

Musical Living Chess.

A recent musical living chess tourna-
ment showed the kings and queens in
gorgeous costumes-exact reproductions
of the Tudor period. The kings were in
crimson satin and gold and white and
gold respectively, with gold crowns and
scepters. The queens wore petticoats of
gold brocade with court trains of white
and of crimson. The bishops were in
white and red satin. with long copes and
miters and bishops crooks. The castles
and pawns were in similar style, crimson
and white with gold and silver caps.
AS d spectacle living chess is more at
tractive than living whist, the intricacies
of the latter game not being SO amenable
to representation as those of the former.
Slow, stately movement to minuet music
is permissible at the chess delineations,
making a succession of beautiful ia
bleaux entirely Ineligible to the prog
ress of the game. Actually to follow the
play at living whist game would take

A Daring woman In 1n,oet.

Amateur photography is not in high
favor in Tbibet. The residents OF Tar.
chendo were lately thrown into great
state of excitement by the arrival Of
European woman with q camera. She
made her appearance riding down the
dirty, narrow, winding main street astride
a diminutive pony, followed by her cav.
alters clad in flannels and straw hats and
seated on sorry mules,
When she came to an imposing look
ing building, the town house of the SUI
perintendent, she dismounted and tried
to set up her camera, but in vain. The
crowd so harassed her that she found it
impossible. Then she endeavored to in
duce some native priests to have their
portraits taken. But the very idea ter
rified them, for they are the most alb
jectly superstitious people in the world,
and taking their picture means to their
minds robbing them of their souls.
But the artists ambition had been fired
by the knowledge that two years before
an Englishman visiting the country had
failed to take a single photograph. al
though he had made several attempts.
At length she got her stand fixed in a
corner of the courtyard, and her COM
panions having driven off the rabble she
managed to secure a good view Of the
Buddhist temple. As she was moving
off half a dozen fierce Thibetan dogs, let
loose meanwhile, rushed up, seized her
staff with their teeth, wrested it away
from her, and she was only saved from
further molestation by her companions,
who succeeded in keeping the dogs at
bay and escorting her through the gate
way. The scowling priests stood round
like statues, draped in their crimson
scarfs, and never moved finger to call
the dogs off or render assistance

where Women often Fail.

The private individual and the public
official are two separate and distinct in
dividuals. The woman who stands upon
the platform, or who speaks from the
floor of convention, is the representa-
tive of a principle or an idea, and she is
nothing more. It is of paramount i'm
portance to her audience and to the pre-
siding officer that her enunciation should
be distinct; that her views be strongly,
clearly and concisely presented; that her
rhetoric and her grammar should attain
the highest standard of established usage.
But her private idiosyncrasies, her
physical infirmities, her tending to emo
ton or hysteria, bear no rightful place
or consideration in any phase of the
proceedings of deliberative body. 1t
is not worth while to resort to spectacu-
lar effects or melodramatic methods for
the purpose of emphasizing and making
apparent distinctions of sex. No well
bred, well dressed woman who speaks
and conducts herself with dignity and
modesty will ever be mistaken for other
than she is.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The First Toy Balloon.

Perhaps in old time days the children
had playthings which nowadays are quite
unknown. There may have been many
TOYS at which we cannot even guess now,
because not even remnant is left for us.
But one thing is certain, and that is that
the children now have the benefit of a
great many little contrivances for their
amusement which were not known then,
although there may have been other ones
to take their places. For example, there
is the toy balloon, which is so much en-
joyed by the little tot of 2 or who has
never seen anything like it, and who
cannot understand why the gay little
colored ball should float in the air with
out apparently anything to keep it up.
1t was only 100 years ago or little
more that the art of making the air cas-
ties, as they were then called, became
first known. The first one was con-
structed at Paris in 1888, by certain
M. Montgolfer, who did many wonder

the most wonderful of all was the in
vention of the balloon, which has brought

Women Colonies In the Prussian Army.

Five women, all DANES of high de-
gree, have been appointed to the COM
nand Of crack regiments in the Prussian
army by the present young warrior en-
peror. This is, like most of his acts, an
entirely new departure, but whether it
b q shrewd device or simply one of his
peculiar freaks it is well calculated to
achieve his dearest ambition, the exalta-
ton and popularizing of the army above
everything else. Previous to his Access
sion there were only two women colo
nels in the Prussian army, and none had
been appointed for nearly a scoro of
years.
The senior woman colonel is the EN-
press Frederick, who was placed in COM
mand of a regiment of hussars at the
coronation of Emperor William l, Oct.
IS, 1861. Princess Frederick Charles,
widow Of the famous "Red Prince"
ranks second in point of time. She re-
ceived her colonelcy in 1871. Queen Vic
toria was made colonel of Prussian
regiment of dragons in 1889.
The two first named have often ridden
ut the head of their regiments, dressed
in their full regimentals, and one of the
Empress Frederick's most dashing pic
lures shows her thus attired and afield.

SOME WOMEN sCULPTORS.
a Group Of Talented Girls and the Work
They Have Undertaken.

A Group Of Talented Girls and the Work
They Have Undertaken.
Interesting is the work done by the six
women assistants chosen by the sculptor,
dorado Taft, from among his pupils here.
These gifted and earnest young women
are, with two exceptions, all Illinois girls.
They have advanced from assistants to
full titled sculptors, and to each has been
awarded the task of modelling from her
own design heroic figure for the Hi
nois building.
Julia Bracken is small, snub faced
girl, with dark hair and earnest eyes,
and is less than 81 years old. None of
her family is given to art, but her pre-
objections found expression even as a
child in quaint carvings in soft wood.
Her work in the studio attracted atten-
ton, and to her has come the contract
for chiseling In Italian marble the
8-foot figure of 'nlinois Welcoming the
Nations" Thereposeful statue of Faith"
forthe State building and the Madonna"
for the North Side cathedral are also her
work and illustrate her versatility
Janet Scudder, the Indiana girl who
from the housewifely accomplishment
Of making medallions in butter turned
her attention to work in clay, is working
on an original conception of "Justice," of
which captious critic said:
"a woman's idea! No need for her to
weigh evidence or be forever adjusting
fine points of law. She Just makes up
her mind what's right and goes ahead"
Zulimie Taft, sister of the sculptor, is
working on her figure of Learning"
which does not follow the severe miner
va" ideal, but presents gracious, woman
ly figure, classic in pose and drapery, her
eyes fixed on roll of parchment. Ellen
Rankin Copp, an artist in color as well
as in clay, has designed an embodiment
of tender motherhood in the figure "Ma-
ternity" and is also making portrait
bust Of Mrs. Potter Palmer. Carrie
Brooks, a daughter of the portrait painter,
F. A. Brooks, the youngest member Of
this talented sisterhood, has the contract
for the cupid" in the central hall of
the Arkansas building, and Bessie Potter,
= st. Louis girl of great talent and prom
ise, is at work upon a female figure hold
ing the symbols of art.
A wonderful impetus has been given
to woman's talent in every direction
through their participation in the prep
arations for the fair, and their work
will fall under the observation of more
people in the six months of the exposi-
ton than in an entire century of Or
binary existence. The success of one
woman is ever the inspiration of score
whose highest tribute to genius is imita-
ton. Latent talent for wider range of in
dustries than has yet been demonstrated
will manifest itself without doubt and
relieve the overcrowded avenues of en-
ployment, open new opportunities and
make the daily struggle for existence
less prolific in dreary failure than now
obtains. If this is, as has been said, the
woman's cycle, the Columbian fair is
the grand headquarters of Inspirations
