The Agricultural Building at the World )
Fair is almost surrounded by the lasoOns
that lead into Jackson Park from the lake
and is admirably situated, standing directly
10 the south and across the great basin from
the Manufactures Building.
It's general design is at once bold and
heroic. On either side Of the main entrance
are mammoth Corinthian pillars fifty feet in
heighth while on each corner and from the
centre Of the building pavilions are reared
The corner pavilions are connected by cur
tains forming a continuous arcade around
the top OF the structure The rotunda is
surrounded by mammoth glass dome 19O
feet in height. All through the main vesti-
bule statuary has been placed illustrative Of
the industry OF agriculture, while similar de-
signs are grouped all around the grand en-
trance in the most elaborate manner.

owing to the great variety Of displays made
the visitor gains the impression Of mighty
tumble OF cOlors-a vast fair In which each
exhibitor has sought to outdo his neighbor
in the matter OF brightness Of adOrnment.

importance, and the clerk began to fill
out the necessary papers. Your

professor was confounded. His name,
what was it? He could not remember.
"And your residcnce?' continued the
clerk, modestly. The professor looked
more puzzled than ever. He had not
an idea where he lived, and in his dis
tress he paced the floor back and forth.
When, by a happy chance, the name
and number flashed across his mind,
his face wore an expression of relief
He looked as elated as if he had dis

Diph.heria Poison From Apples.

Attention is called to the fact that
apples stored in cellars or elsewhere
are invariably covered with mold or
mildew-often invisible, but Just az
real. The mold consists mos tly o
microscopic plants, including numer-
Gus species of fungi, all Of which are
more or less poisonous. Physicians
say they have traced cases ofdiphtheria
in children to the use of moldy apples.
Mothers are in the habit of giving
little children apples to play with and
the babies try to eat them. In such
cases the mold should be carefully re-
moved from the apples. Troy IN. ~
