piece OF blunt, smooth wire along the
surface OF the locality mentioned. When
the mouth Is at last located you can
thrust your instrument through between
the delicate lips and n considerable dis
lance toward the stomach without caus-
ing the least pain whatever. From this
mouth there is, OF course, a miniature
canal leading TO the stomach. Food
passes through this canal TO the
stomach, and from tho latter organ

Under no circumstances will guests be
Flowed to supply bedding.
Large rooms, containing two beds, can

There will be just as many rocking
chairs as there are beds, and some simple
toilet arrangement. 1t was the original
intention to have running water in each

the expenses for plumbing would exceed
the cost OF the buil-ing the project was
abandoned. Plenty OF assistants, how
ever, will be- within Gait, and the guests
will be made perfectly comfortable.

BOON TO WORKING WOMEN,
HOW THEY WILL Be PROVIDED FOR
AT The W0R' 0'S fAla.

The Excellent Work OF the Woman,
Dormitory Association Five Build.
ings with Accommodations for Fiv,
thousand women-The Plan.
One of the most commendable enter.
prises in connection with the World.
Fair is the Woman's Dormitory Associa-
tion, which was incorporated last May
with a capital of s25 900 which has since
heen increased TO $3.50, 900.
The plan OF the association Is the cree
ton OF five dormitories just outside OF
the Fair grounds with accommodation
for 200 women each.
The association il under control of a
board OF fourteen directors. Mrs. Matilda
b.. Carse is president and to her zeal and
indefatlgahle efforts is largely due the
success VIII, Il has thus far been attained.
The design of the building is four
squares, facing on four streets, with In
terror promenades or lawns 40xS0. The
looms about this open square are two
deep, separated by Railways. Every room
has a window overlooking the street or
lawn, so that there are neither dark
rooms nor inside rooms to vex the fresh
air loving spinster.
The buildings are to be of uniform
height, two stories, with turreted COR
ners, three stories high, and alike in
every particular. An electric plant will
supply the light, and hard wood fires the
necessary warmth.
On each floor there will be four public
apartments for the freedom of the guests
and the reception OF their visitors-a
MUSHROOM, reading-room and two par.
lc s-not drawlng-rooms, but %parlors,
with good old-fashioned sofas and
wooden and willow rocking chairs.
Each of these rooms will contain an open
fireplace, and blackened irons and dogs.
and hickory logs three feet long are
among the promised antiques.
In addition to these general meeting
places there will be a big office on the
ground floor exactly like the office OF the
modern hotel, barring the tobacco smoke
and ieweled clerk.
A newsstand, single hooks, window
seats, easy-chairs, railway maps. time
tables, telegraph operator and wood fire
In bad weather, will enable the EXPOSE
ton weary maids an matrons to kill time
in regular hotel fashion.
The five women who expect TO be en-
gagged as dormitory clerks have not been
appointed as yet, but ii is safe to saw that
they will be wonders.
Not more than 700 old girls and young
girls are candidates for the novel office.
About ninety-two of these Rave applied
TO Mrs. Carse in person.
The sleeping-rooms will be clean as
linen chests which they will resem bic
somewhat, being constructed Of sealed
wood and finished after the style OF a
country pavilion or hunting box, with
plastering. The furniture will be
comfortable and substantial, but OF the
Simplest design, the idea being dormi-
tories rather than living rooms.
Each room will have a single bed, fur
nished with wire-woven mattress.
feather pillows and inviting clothing,
the linen to be changed every day.

Like the Dormitory clerkships, this
position has attracted hundreds OF appli-
cants. Most worthy and admirable
women from all over the English-speak-
ing world have sought and are still seek
ing appointment TO the five dormitories,
