section, wonder how their work happened
to find its way hither. One of the most
beautiful things in this exhibit is a great
urn of pure delft which has all over its
surface the most delicate, lace-like tracery
of fine white lines.
When it comes to laces, Brussels is IL
the front rank. The grandest piece of lace
work in the exposition is to be found here.
1t is a bridal veil, draped on an appro-
pirate figure and gown, majestic in its
sweep from head to floor, wide and ample,
all handmade point-lace, and worth s. 1000.
1t was made specially for this exposition,
and occupied the time of thirty Of the best
lace-makers of Flanders for several
months. There are $50 pieces of lace in it,
and these $50 We're selected out of more
than a thousand pieces that were offered.
1t is claimed by experts that this is the
acme of lace-making; that thisi is the finest
thing that car be made; that if a man
were to offer a hundred thousand dollars
for a bridal veil he could find nothing that
would excel it.
Experts judge laces by the regularity of
the lines of the figures and the regularity
of the mesh. Lace is geometrical, and to
be perfect it must be perfectly geometrical.
Only such a machine as that which en-
graves the scrolls on the faces OF bank
notes-I suppose you know the scrolls are
produced by machines and not by hand
could give absolute geometric regularity;
but this hand-work approximates it, and
the nearer the approach with the needle
the better the lace. Imagine the patience,
the Skill, the straining of eyes. the cramp-

The Russians are initiated, but they do NOT
often initiate. This is true Of their
oronzes, as we'll. Here again one is sur
>rised ut the manifestation Of Boyar skill.
After the dainty and sometimes 1inicky
oronzes Of other European nations, with
their endless play upon the female figure
and %allegorical Illustrations, it is q great
delight to turn to the bronzes of Russia.
There is strength, vigor, action, the life Of

There is the open air, the work of the pco-
pie, the animals domestic and wild, the
drama of all life. Here is u Laplander

plunge along over the frozen surface.
Near by is u dromedary and his rider, ira
versing the sands Of the desert, the two
pieces together serving to remind us that
the czar's domain extends from the icy
north to the parched lands of the east and
south.

drawn by a weary old mare with her nose
near the ground and u big boy walking by

behind, suggesting the poverty of moth

drawing a wagon toward the market. The
driver, Mt the heads Of his team, has a pipe
in his mouth and you can see the cuss-
word which always accompanies oX-driv-

There is much mud on the wheels of the

Shoes Made in Fifteen sdinutes.

Shoes made in fifteen minutes are amona
the exhibits in the Shoe and Leather
Trades building. One-qparter OF an hou,
after the knife had entered the uncut
leather those shoes were ready for a walk.
People look at them and smile the smile
of those who can see through a milestone
when there's a hole in it. They look at
them with more respect after they have
spent an hour or so in the working ex.
hibits. Then they appreciate the fact that
the shoes are ground out by machinery 80
last that they fairly tumble over each
other. The gallery of the Shoe end Leather
house is the first floor Of the building. In
all the other buildings the main floor il
crowded and tho galleries, comparatively,
are visited by few. The Shoe and Leather
building reverses this rule, for people visit
the gallery first.

VASE OF STEEL AND GOLD.
Here is a mantilla of black lace which is.
priced ut $175, and a thing of beauty it is.
One is tempted to hope that American
women will some day leave off a little of
their endless millinery, gay and often
characterless, and adopt, at least for some
occasions, the graceful and becoming lace
head-dress. In Spain even an ugly woman
can make herself fascinating by the aid of
q mantilla and a dark fan, and though
there are few ugly women in America the
airy, flowing lace mantle might prove a
valuable accessory to the charms of many
who are not gifted with actual beauty.
OF course our Spanish friends are adept
in the manufacture of fans. They show
here an endless variety, principally of The
medium grades, and they are deriving a
thriving trade in goods of this class deliv-
cred the day of the sale from a city ware
house. Notwithstanding their love for
fans and the universal use of them by
their women they do not even approach

with the nossible exception of the leather

Another interesting feature of the Span.

history. The shoes used in France and
Germany three or four centuries ago, the
ropes with which the ancient Gauls tied
up their feet, the ornate foot-gear of the
Italians of the fourteenth century, the
Greek and Roman sandals, are all con.
trasted with the boots and shoes of our

Stoves Without Fines.

About this time of year the fool killer is whetting his ax. He ismaking it very sharp. He is preparing to follow in the wake of the agent who offers for sale what he calls stoves without flues. But the fool killer is not going to kill the fel- low who sells the stoves. Oh, no! He is lying in wait for the man who buys them and believes the story of the sweet ly buzzing agent that there can be such thing as stove, fireplace or lamp that Geeds no vent in the outside air.
 Fire is 8 union of oxygen with the combustible substance of the fuel, what ever that may be, wood, gas, oil or coal. The supply of oxygen is drawn from the air of the room about the fire. When the oxygen unites with the fuel, it forms carbonic acid gas vapor and smoke. Gas and certain other forms of fuel make very little smoke when burned. But they do throw off into the atmosphere a deadly amount of poisonous gases. Un- less these go up the chimney into the flue and outdoors, where do they go? h. to the room, of course, that is heated by the so called aueless stove.
 It is easy to kill ones self with car bonic acid gas or common Illuminating gas. When the s. P. c. A. wishes to put stray dogs painlessly out of the way, it simply shuts the canines gently into a close room and turns the gas on. The dogs go to sleep, and they never wake up any more. If you want to put your self gently and painlessly into your last sleep in hurry, remain in rooms heat ed by fueless stoves. If you want the process to extend over several months or years and be quite as effective, have your living rooms lighted by big lamps or gas burners and keep the windows shut tight,

The Minnesota club in St. Paul has dispensed with coal and uses electricity alone for cooking. At the Worlds fair some admirable object lessons in cleo trical cooking are given. Helen Louise Johnson broils steak to perfection in four minutes. She shows that hatirons can be heated, griddle cakes Drowned, ham roasted and every other culinary operation performed at great saving of time, cleanliness and labor. The cleo trical heat is applied by merely hooking on cord to the utensil itsclS. whether broiler, pot or bakepan. Then you switch on the current, and the cooking begins. Tho slovenly, impudent servant girl will be less in demand when the world is advanced enough to cook by electricity. Ladies will prefer to do their own cooking by this easy and dainty process. +

If you want to be a college professor, determine beforehand whether you will be very great one or only an average one, for President Harper of the Chi cago university has investigated the matter and finds that tho small college professors income is about on par with that of the skilled workman in the me- chanical industries. The next grade of professor gets about as much money as the superintendent or foreman in large manufacturing or commercial business. In no case does the income of even the best reach that which is attained by the successful manufacturer, merchant or professional man.

North Pole Hunters.

Three of them have started out this summer of 1893. Our American Lieu. tenant Peary will sail northward to In- glefeld gulf and make his base of sup plies there on the Greenland coast Thence he will go still on to Independ- ence bay on the north coast of Green land, and accommodating supplies will, if necessary, spend the coming winter there in latitude sl degrees 35 minutes north. Next spring he will push northward and eastward, exploring the coast and hoping to be led to the pole itself. He will travel with dogs and sledges over ice and earth, if there is any earth there.
 Dr. Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, approaches the north pole by water, with the New Siberian islands off the coast of Asiatic Siberia as his point of departure. He believes all he has to do is to remain in his ship and that the polar currents which he believes in, though most scientific men do not, will drift him to the pole He has construct ed ship which he is confident cannot be crushed by ice foes.
 MT. c. R. Jackson, an Englishman, starts from Franz-Josef Land north of the European continent and not far from Nova Zembla. On the west shore of Franz-Josef Land, in latitude 60 degrees north, is Eira harbor, and here Mir Jack son will make his headquarters. Thence next spring he will start for the pole, taking along both sledges and whale boats. General A. w.

The United States cruiser Philadelphia is considered to have achieved remark. able performance by making the distance from Rio Janeiro to Callao in 20 days and IS hours in one continuous run, without stopping anywhere for coal. The distance Is 5000 miles. Tho time is not remarkable; only the long run without stopping to coal. If the Phila- delphia had whooped up her furnaces and taken in fresh supply of coal, she could have accomplished the distance in 3 shorter time, But the fact that 2 man. of-war can romain out and steam ahead for 21 days with only one store of coal Is worth knowing and noting.
