Remarkable Diet.

All that appertains to food for invalids
comes naturally under woman's prov
ince; therefore it sounds very strange to
folks who are experienced in the dietary
of invalids to hear what Senator STAN
ford's food had been restricted to for six
weeks previous to his death. Unless
there were complications that rendered
other foods impossible it would seem
that the last thing to give man with
heavy apoplectic tendencies would be a
diet of beef. Meat, and especially beef,
increases the pressure of the blood on
the arteries, which have already very
thin walls in sufferers with such tenden
cies. A diet of fruits or vegetables or
skimmilk suits most people under such
conditions, when beef only makes mat
tiers worse. There may have been clr-
cumstances rendering fruit improper or
milk indigestible, but there seems hard,
ly anything man could take that would
make more danger to his clrculatory sys-
tenn then fresh hashed meat.-Phlladel-
phia Ledger.

dued shades, some woven, IN a pattern
that leaves spaces entirely untouched,
on cloth-of-gold. Laces, too, are there
lin plenty, and the book exhibit fur
'ther off shows that both printer and
binder know their business in sunny
Spain. Some of the industrial estab-
hshments represented in this section
employ from 1000 to 5000 workmen
and women.
The most beautiful objects on view
are the products of a Spanish woman's
ingenuity. Her name is Felipa Guis-
asola, and her address Madrid, and it
was her own idea when she began, a
number of years ago, a style OF decora-
tion wholly original-solid gold inlaid
and hammered into steel This new
style she has now brought to such per-
lection and has extended her business
so enormously that she may be said to
have created a new national industry.
The two handsomest objects she has
on view are two vases, one OF Pom
peiian design valued at $20,0o0) and
the other of the renaissance style
worth SAC, 900, and four times the size
of the for1ner) The latter is the sole
work of Seniora Guisasola herself,
who spent seven years in executing it.
The designs are first delicately traced
on the steel, and then the task of in
sorting, in place of the little hollows
made by the chisel, the solid gold be-
gins. The designs are artistic and
diversified in taste, partly taking it's
subjects from mythology and again
from history or popular tales. This
same process is also shown on watch
cases, jewelry, etc, and it is in all in
stances remarkably beautiful.
In Machinery hall Spain shows us
sewing machines, planners, corking ma
chimes, shoemaking machines, gas
motors, vermicelli machines, machines
for cracking almonds, etc. Though
not of a very high grade of efficiency
nor so neatly and elegantly construct
ed as the American, English or Ger
man machines, there are at least
couple among them that our American
agriculturists in California could learn
from.
In the Mining building the miner al
wealth of Spain is rather modestly set
forth. There are copper and iron from
Bilbao, Altos Fornos and Oe1ra; Gin
naber from Onefea Caba: salt from

,Cardona, TerFeviejo; lead ores from
Arreyanes; zinc from Cartagenera;
Ignite and coal from Genera, Vinuesa
and Belmez y Espiel, and granite,
clay and marble of every shade from
elsewhere.
In Transportation building there are
guns and swords and daggers from the
long-famed works at Toledo, as well as
relief model of the Spanish fortresses
at San Sebastian, Cartagena and Ha-
vana, and models of Spanish men-of-
war of the latest type. In Forestry
building there are the mahoganys of
Cuba and collection of s6e different
woods from the Philippine islands.
Some additions from Spain proper are
shortly expected. In Horticultural
building there is only wine exhibit,
but very extensive one, comprising,
all told, some 10000 bottles-sherry,
the wines of Malaga, Malvasia, Man
CAMILLA and those less known from
Navarro ana Catalonia. In Agricul-
tural hall you will find olive oils,
hemp, dried fruits, tobacco (manufac-
tured into cigars and cigarettes and
also in the leaf) from both Havana and
the Philippine isles, also brandies and
sweet nqueurs, such as the anisette del
mono, and in Woman's building there
is small but choice exhibit of en-
broideries, laces, paintings, books by
female authors and other dainties
From this brief and cursory survey
of the Spanish exhibit it will be seen
that old Spain, whatever her present
destinies, is still Sin the ring" and
will, one of these fine days, resume her
place in the great international hurdle
race. WOLF Won SWITZERLAND.

The Giants and Noah's Flood.


Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud and copied
into Barring Gould's "Patriarchs and
Prophets and works of similar import
is one concerning the action taken by
the great race Of giants at the time of
the deluge. At the time of the food the
giants were not all drowned. Their
leader, Og, planted his foot upon the
fountains Of the deep, and with his
hands he stopped the windows of heav-
en-. According to Rabbi Eliezer, when
the flood broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, eff all the waters Of the
earth be gathered together, they will
only reach to our waists. and if the foun-
tains of the great deep be broken up we
will stamp them down again." This
they did as they had declared they
would. Then God made the waters hot
and boiled the flesh from their bones.
The Targuln of Palestine also says the
waters of the food were hot The Tai
mud then goes on to relate the story OF
the escape of Og, declaring that he went
into the water along with the rhinoceros,
clinging to the side of the ark. The
same authorities which give us an ac-
count of how Og saved himself tell us
that all the waters of the deluge were
hot except that which immediately SUR
rounded the hull Of the ark. One rab-
binic authority says that Og climbed
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and attempted to dis
lodge him he swore to be slave to the
patriarchs family forever if permitted
to retain his seat.--St. Louis Republic.

Character In the Bell Ring.

Doorbells are pretty good indicators Of
character. Probably you have not been
conscious Of it, but every time you pull
doorben you register what manner of
man you are. Your ring will not tell
everything about you, from the color of
your eyes to your taste in flowers, but
to those who know the signs the doorbell
is as good as title page.
ANY one who has had occasion to an
swer bell pulls knows how much differ
ence there is in them. One persons
method varies very little from time to
time, though the difference between that
method and somebody else, while slight,
will be sufficiently well marked. 1t is
seldom that two rings are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each-the
impatient man, who pulls the bell twice
in quick succession and does not wait
long before trying it again; the one of
more phlegmatic temperament, whose
ring is slower and more substantial; the
hesitating woman, who draws the knob
out in succession of nervous jerks; the
seedy individual with matches to sell,
who stretches the wire carefully to it's
full length and then allows it to relax
with faint, apologize tinkle, and the
jolly friend who knows he is welcome
and therefore grasps the knob with a
hearty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature and sets the bell to shaking
its sides with such peals of echoing
laughter that it positively cannot stop
at once, but subsidies gradually with a
merry, irrepressible little litter. A door
bell has as many voices as visitors

For country which is popularity,

ing, disrupted by party strife and al,
ways on the brink of revolution,
Spain makes remarkably fine and
strong showing. 1t is certainly quite
evident that the glories of the land
which in centuries past gaveyso much
to the world-in literature, art, science,
commerce, as well as arrns-are not
wholly extinct. The great heart and
head of Spain are slumbering, it is
true, but rich, red arterial blood is ebb-
ing back and forth in the stalwart
body, and one day she will awaken to
new life and activity and astonish the
world by her wonderful vitality. Any
body who will walk through the ex-
tensive and comprehensive exhibit
Spain is making at this exposition will
have thoughts of this kind forced upon
him. The leading feature, the char
acteristic mark of the whole, is the art

impresses itself on the eye, the index.
the consciousness of the beholder.
There is hardly thing in the whole
exhibit which is of poor quality or in
artistic in design. The national pride
of Spain-a feeling, by the way, which
is still intensely alive there, despite all
reverses- of course, aroused by
the peculiar circumstances that called
forth this Columbian fair, and SO she
has, no doubt, done about her level

at their calisthenic and delsarte exer-

auctions in chirography, drawing and
modelling; all of which is made more
wonderful when 1t is remembered that
twelve years ago the present site of
Tacoma. now handsome city, with
all the adjun is of a metropolis, was
an untducheu, primeval wilderness,
the home of wild beasts and the IN
dian, where the forests of mighty
cedars, tamarack and fir seemed to al
most defy the settler. Now lines of
steamers and sailing vessels load at
Taooma's wharves with wheat, lum-
Der, shingles, -four, fruit and other of
the vast products to sail for parts all

tion is such that the state has four
members Of congress, two in the SEN
ate and two In the house, and is now
entitled to another.

There are about 200 exhibitors; to-
Estfrer they show us about 800 oil

number of engravings, etc. Col

though there is no Murillo nor Velas-

Nextwe take in the Spanish section
in Manufactures building. The loca-
tion-due to late application for space
is discouraging, and the lack of light
in it is greatly increased by the curious
eolonnades, constructed by the Spanish
Government architect, Joaquin Pavia,
in imitation of the Moorish colonnades
in the famed cathedral Of Cordova.

nately everything was sacrificed to
