WORLDS FAIR-PENNsYLvANIA BUILDING.
Among the scenes that first attract the
attention Of all visitors are the foreign
streets reproduced in Midway Plaisanoe
and the little pleasure boats that go fit
ting through the lagoons. On the former
people Of all nationalities jostle each other
as they pass along, while the bridges cross
ing the lagoons seem to have already be
come favorite resorts for lovers.
Actual costly experience with the res
hurant monopolists in the park has In
duced the visiting thousands to devise
ways and means to defeat the schemes Of
the caterers. Lunch baskets and hand
bags are carried by hundreds Of people,
and in that way they are able to spend the
whole day at the fair without being fam
! shed or parting with goOdly amount for
frail lunch The price lists Of the res
taurants are Eifel tower in their proper
tions, but not stationary like that struc-
ture The prices vary according to the
willingness Of the patron to pay. Walters

what they please.

What pity that we are all con-
tinually burning our candles out
with so little profit! Aud the great

and live life over again, no doubt
we would make a much greater sue
cess of it. There would be no fool
ish vast of energies then; no long
years spent in boarding wealth for
the ruin of some life that came af-
ter ours; no precious weeks or
months devoted to the production

ion. But alas, none of us go back.
We had one chance, in all the
world, to make the most of Our
lives, to help one another, to make

beautiful home for those that dwell
in it. Some of us have burned the
candle almost out. What has the

Power rose against Savonarola,
not because of his sins, but because
of his greatness-not because he
sought to deceive the world, but
because he sought to make it noble.
And through that greatness of his
he endured a double agony; not
only the reviling, and the torture,
and the death throe, but the agony
on sinking from the vision of glori-
Gus achievement into that deep
shadow where he could only say,
Il count as nothing; darkness en-
compasses me; yet the light saw
was the true light" Il George Eliot.
Frivolous curiosity about trifes,

There is the mother, for instance,
who spends her strength and de-
votes her days to making beauti-
full garments for her children; and
not content to keep them plainly and
neatly clothed, adds long rows of
tucks and embroidery and ruffles
to every garment. How weary she
is after every days toll over the
machine. Her tired nerves have
been on strain so long that she is
irritable and excitable, and is
neither mother or companion to her
children when the days work is
over. True, the children are beau
tiful and picturesque in the dainty
garments, but the terrible question,
"Is it worth while?" Are dainty
clothes, which children will out
grow in year, sufficient compen-
salon for the WEAKNESS and the
total surrender Of all the pleasure
and privileges of motherhood?

And then, there is the woman
who is housekeeper-a fine house
keeper-and nothing else. No
where about her dwelling is there
a home corner. All her rooms are
too good to be lived in. Her beau-
tiful parlors are opened up only
when there is company, and it
becomes evident that all the mon
ey which went for its adjoining, was
spent to soley to please the eyes of
strangers. The lives of her chill
dren are made wretched by the
eagle glance that watches their 60

their steps do not stray into wrong

they do not track the floor with

they lead, these notable house

There is the lady of leisure, who
spends her days crocheting or EN-
broidering some delicate piece of
fancy work, with which she means
presently to trim a garment, and
afterwards to exhibit to friends as
example of her industry. She has
nothing else to do, she says; and
so, with a world of books around her
waiting to be read, with a world
of knowledge to be gained, with
world of sorrowing and poor to be
helped, she can. sit deliberately
down and spend week in making
a yard of trimming, such as she
might buy over the counter for
fifty cents. This work of hers is
no doubt beautiful, but is it worth
while? Doesn't it seem a pity to
waste a whole human life in the
production of nothing more impor-
tant-trimming?

THE HOME CORNER.
BY JULIA TRUITT BISHOP.
[ Written for the L1GHT.1

Written for the LIGHT.
THE French have a very ex-
pressive proverb, founded
on some poor, childish game, in
which a lighted candle played an
important part. THE game is
not worth the candle" said these
keen satirists; and the expression
has come to apply to great many
other events in life, as we'll as to
the game in which foolish mortals
waste a good candle to secure very
poor sport. 1 myself see people
doing things, every day, which
cause me to ask myself "Is it
worth while ?" And the honest
truth is that the most lives are
crowded full of things which are
really not worth while. The game
is wretched failure, and the can
die is a costly one.

Opposition Sentiment stirred up BY the
British Residents.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 2O.-Officers of
the revenue cutter Richard Rush, which
has arrived at this port Is days from
Honolulu, are confident that there will
be no disturbance there 80 long as
negotiations are in progress. Lieutenant
Mcconnell says: "There is one strong
determination among all Americans who
have interests there, and that 10, that
they will never submit peacefully to the
Establishment of q monarchy under
any conditions. There will surely be
bloodshed If any attempt is made to re-
seat the queen. Springfield rifles are
kept loaded to resist such an attempt,
and Commissioner Blount is fully aware
of this fact. The sentiment against an
nexation is fomented almost entirely by
British residents, but they are few and
have not much power. The natives as
great body do not seem to know or care
how the thing goes. The Japanese were
talking of side sensation, but not much
attention was paid to them." Being
asked if there was any probability that
the English would attempt to raise their
flag during the progress of negotiations
with this country, Mcconnell said mo,
there is no probability of that, though the
British were anxiously awaiting her
msjesty's ship Hyacinthe, which was
expected to arrive, and they may have
something in view. But they are in the
minority and are expected to interfere"
The Rush will remain in port for several
days and orders are expected to proceed
to Behring sea.

probably see them and their exhibits

the fair would appear at first glance
to q casual observer to belong to the
came class as the other Celestials on
board, a big difference is discovered
upon closer examination. The worlds
fair Chinese are to some extent graded,
and they represent many classes of ar
