Good Accommodations Will Be Provided

Plnn.

In answer to the many inquiriesfr from
boards of trade and similar bodies con-
corning the alleged plan to demand ex-
t%ortionate prices for accommodations in
Chicago next summer, Mai. w. Marsh
Kasson has prepared the following re-
port from the bureau of public comfort:
This. bureau has been established by
the Worlds Columbian exposition to CO.
operate through its hotel and rooming
department, to the best of it's ability,
with the citizens of Chicago for the
comfort and protection of visitors to Sc
cure for them suitable and desirable
lodgings at fair and reasonable rates.
''Thc management is licenly alive to
the fact that thousands OF visitors will
be deferred frcn visiting the city unless
they can be fully assured on this point,
hence every effort is being made to rca-
lie satisfactory rcsultsin this direction.
Enquiries; were sent put SCTlc time
ago to houscholdcrs having furu;"hcd
room to let. to learn as far as possible
prices that would be expected therefor.
and the following statement gives the
general average quotations received in
reply, to cover the accommodations for
over 5000 people in the best part Of the
city lying between North venue and
Sc~vCnty-niath street.

A Rude Awakening.

He was n dreamy romantic young
fellow from Tacoma, and he was doing
the fair thoroughly, entering into the
spirit Of the thing, so to speak, with all
his ability. When the purple shades of
twilight were falling he stepped gayly
into a picturesque gondOla, adorned
and propelled by a real, live gOndolier
attired In blue and white, with every
detail Of the Venetian costume COM
plete. Our westerner reyeled in the
charm of the hour and the surround
ings. He threw himself into the spir-
1t Of ancient Venice and fancied he saw
the bride Of the Adriatic lying ghost
like upon the sunlit-tinted waters.
With a woman's artifice he tried to
tempt the gondolier into song. 1t was
in vain, however, for the solitary boat
man at the stern was evidently think
ing of his beloved Venice. The young
man from Tacoma at last sought terra
firma and as he scared, rather than
walked away, he heard with horror
the mystical gondolier distinctly re-
mark to his fellow in the bow:

Surprised the Academy.

The French academy is considered a
learned and progressive society, and
one would suppose that it must be used
to novel ideas, but the philosopher Re.
nan once easily succeeded In surprising
il greatly. NJ. Renan was accustomed
TO put on an old coat almost In rags
when he arranged his books.
On the day when he was for the first
time to meet the Due d'Aumale at the
academy, he was busily working over
his books.
Suddenly he remembered his appoint,
n.ent. and without noticing how he
was dressed, he took a cab to the acad,
emy. There he had the usual cordial
reception, and he had a long talk with
the new academician.
ON returning home, before Madame
Renan had time to make any remark
ne said:

The Beavers Home and Winter
supply of Food.

Upon an elevation in such a pond,
just covered by the water, the beavers
build their house, after the manner
of the one just described, except, how
ever, that the usual house, when newly
built and covered with fresh-cut
limbs, resembles more a heap OF
brushwood. A family apartment, ac-
commodating five or six, maybe six Or
seven feet across the floor, or shelf"
while the walls are built up to the
height of a foot. Poles (some Of which
are as large as ones wrist, laid slant
ingly upward and covered with earth
and other sticks to a thickness Of over
q foot, compose the roof Of the cham
Der, which is three or four feet from
floor 10 ceiling. Between the sticks
at the peak is space for ventilation.
Each member Of the family owns a
bed. with which it lines warmly with
grass or shreds of poplar wood split
as fine as il for basket work. There
are several exits under water for adj
ditiona1 safety. In the middle of the
pond is q fan-shaped pile of brush-all

of the house. There is a wagon load

pond was drained. Every stick had
been cut in the surrounding woods
and dragged separately to that place.
Paths. a little less than a foot in width,
lead back n distance of a quarter Of a
mile from the stream. These paths
are found in every beaver settlement.
The birches and whitewoods are sep
arated from the resinous evergreens,
and dragged along these little roads.
Saplings growing in the way are
chopped off close to the ground. In one
place where Il large pine log lay across
their hauling road, Il section of solid
wood a foot wide and six inches deep
was cut out. Indeed, when large logs
fall across their ponds. an entire sec
ton is sometimes removed for the pas
sage of their bodies.-June st. Nicho-

A PorfIere, Made of shells.

A lady who spends her at
the seaside has collected about a bush
el, more or less, of small, almost fiat,
thin, yellow shells, which abound at so
many points On the coast. With these
she this year fashioned a portiere that
is novel and pretty beyond description.
Each shell is pierced with a hot wire,
and then strung ON a delicate wire, so
that the narrow end of n is next 20
the wide end of the other. A number
of strings were made in this way long
enough to reach from the floor to the
curtain pole, where they were securely
fastened to a strip of plantation cloth
Of the same shade as the shells.
Through the fretwork above this cur
tain is draped q length Of sea-green In
Ola silk. falling half way to the floor
on the right side.
A less ambitious woman has made 8
curious scarf by sewing these shells
In artistic confusion on either end of a
length of Nile green silk, putting here
and there among them bits of golden
brown seaweed. A fringe is made for
each end by s~tringing shells on green
embroidery silk instead of wire.-New
