OF the foreign exhibits that OF New
South Wales, Australia, was both sur
prising and pleasing, while the show
ing made by the French republic,
Germany and Canada is simply grand.
We can not begin to describe any par
ticular object or article. One could
spend days in the Art Gallery and the
Woman's building alone and then not
be tired of feasting the eyes on the
mastery works of art and and ex-
Quisite handwork revealed on every
side and overhead. The Government
building is both interesting and IN
structive, while Machinery Hall and
the Manufacturers building contain a
wealth of wonders surprising all at
tempts at description.
The North Carolina exhibits in the
Mining building, Agricultural Hall
and the Forestry building, were not
completed but we saw enoughto satisfy
us that our State will be able to make
very creditable showing considering
the limited means at their disposal for
this purpose and the disadvantages
under which those having the matter
Of representing North Carolina at the
Worlds Fair in hand had to labor.
Messrs. I. K. Bruner and Peter NJ
Wilson are in charge and will leave
nothing undone to show up the indus
tries and resources of the old North
State to the best possible advantage.
They are ably assisted by Messrs. Her
bert Brimley, G.. +. Greene, and H.
B. C. Mite, and each and every one
is the right man in the right place. At
some future time we will have more to
say of the individual exhibits of our
State IN the respective departments
above mentioned. In the Forestry
building Mr.. George Vanderbilt, of
Fillmore, Buncombe county, makes a
fine exhibit of woods and timbers Of
Western North Carolina, on his indi-
vidual account and at his own expense.
He has space allotted to him just as
any State or foreign power has and his
exhibit does honor to himself and
credit 10 the State
We mention as matter of news and
pride that the chief electrician of the
Electrical building is a North Caro-
Imam, Mr.. Corpening, of Marion. He
is quite young man, being about 50
years old, or less, but the important
and responsible position he holds
shows the manner of man he is.

The politicians of the country
office seekers and spoils grabbers-
not the statemen and patriots, are too
impatient for office. In their haste
and anxiety they lose reason if not
decency and forget that their course
has much to do with impeding the
progress of affairs along the very lines
they complain of hardness in. Mr..
Cleveland is all right. Give him time
and immunity from the politicians
and everything will work Out for the
best.

Preserving Eggs.

The cold-Storage process takes the lead
now where large numbers of eggs are in
volved, and special arrangements can be
made for holding the eggs at uniform
low temperature. Comparatively few fam
lilies, however, can command the facilities
for cold storage, and to this class the linn
ing process is the most popular one, as it
involves least expense and trouble. There
are numerous recipes for lining eggs.
Here is one that will be found convenient
where small quantities are to be kept over.
Stone lime, two pounds; salt, one pint;
water, four gallons. Stake the lime, and
when cold put il and the salt with the
water into some receptacle, stir and let
settle twice The clear liquid is what is
wanted. Have Just enough pickle when
through packing to cover the eggs; then
place cloth over them and spread some
of the lime sediment on it. Casks with
wooden hoops afford good packages for
small quantities of eggs. To insure
success it is imperative that the eggs be
fresh when packed down. Place the eggs
in the preserving medium as fast as
collected from the nest and be careful not
to crack them The New York expert
ment station found that eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after wiping
with vaseline, to which sali-cylic acid had
been added, kept four and five months
without loss. The quality after four
months was far superior to that of ordin-
airy lined eggs. The boxes containing
them were turned every second day.

Begun In the First Century and Conn
pleted In the Nineteenth.

Last Saturday was the day set for the
opening, with great festivities, of the
Corinth canal in Greece, the construction
of which was begun by the Roman Empe-
ror Nero in the first century of the Christ
ian era. The canal which is but 5000
metres in length as it crosses the Isthmus
of Corinth. has been constructed within
the past ten years at a cost of S14, 100000,
in order to shorten the time of passage be-
tween the countries of western Europe and
the port of Athens and other ports in the
Egean sea. 1t had been projected long
before the time Of Nero but he it was who
in the cutting of it first struck the earth
with his pick. In a short time, the work
upon it was stopped on account of the up
rising in Gaul, and more than eighteen
hundred years passed away before it was
resumed by the Hungarian revolutionist,
Gen. Turr, under a concession from the
government OF Greece. The canal follows
the line that was drawn by Nero's engi-
neers, and is about the same breadth that
was required for the passage of the Roman
galleys. 1t can be crossed in less than an
hour.
1t is one of the most interesting public
works of our time. Projected six centu-
rics before the Christian era, it has been
constructed in the nineteenth century
of that era. Begun when Greece was held
by the Roman legions, it is completed after
the viciSstudcs OF ages, when Greece is
an Independent and constitutional mon
archy. 1t will surely be advantageous to
Athens, to which, as well, as to Constan-
tinople, it will shorten by yearly day the
time of passage from western countries.

The Imnrnrement of Horses.

The sooner farmers in the United States
realize the fact that the ordinary and COM
monty bred horse is likely to deteriorate in
value year by year, the better 1t will be for
them. The use of cables to drag street
cars has already reduced the service per-
formed by horses i'm the cities, and the eX-
tension of the trolley system in the sub
urbs and the perfection of electric motors
will relieve many other thousands of
horses from such service. 1t has not been
so very long since nearly all the threshing
was done by horses now only a very small
percentage of even the threshing machines
are worked by horse power. Practically
all of the ploughing is now done by horses {;
but cheap and practical steam plough
will be shown to visitors to the World S
Fair, and it is not improbable that in 10
years from now quite large percentage of
ploughing will be done without the aid of
horses. The need in the cities and on the
farms for fewer horses will tend more and
more to reduce their market value. Com
monty bred horses will be the first to dete-
riorate in price; indeed, it is doubtful
whether finely bred horses will suffer at all.
There is no reason why they should. The
purposes for which they are used will not
be affected by any inventions revolutioniz-
ing methods of transportation or tillage.
Even though we could fly in the air with a
balloon entirely under control, a spin on
the road behind pair of trotters or a gal
lop across country would give just as much
pleasure as ever it gave. The horses who
get the blue ribbons in the horse shows
will continue to be as valuable as ever,
while humber animals-those that drag
street cars and ploughs-will be less valua-

The Falcon, the sealing steamer which
is to carry Lieut.. Peary's expedition to
Greenland, sailed from st. Johns, Y. F.,
last week for Philadelphia where she will
take the party aboard. Her cabin accom-
modates eleven persons, and a large deck
house eight more. On top of this house
an observatory has been constructed to be
used for scientific observations by Lieut..
Peary while voyaging north. She carries
eighteen months provisions and 500 tons
of coal. Her crew numbers seventeen.
Capt. Edward Tracey, who was first officer
in the Kite in 1891, occupies the same
position on the Falcon. The Kite would
have been hired again this year, but she
was too small.

Many of the hills about Pittsburg are
pierced with horizontal shafts admitting
to the rich deposit of bituminous coal, and
for many years there has been race of
hardy dogs employed as beasts of burden
in these mines. \ team of two dogs will
gallop out of the mine, dragging after them
over the narrow-gauge t:amway little
car laden with many hundred pounds of
coal. To the stranger who visits one of
these mines it is somewhat alarming to
hear behind him the rumble of the car,
accompanied by the quick steps of the
dogs, for the creatures are sometimes
fierce, and the man who should find him
self in the way might fare i'll. The guide,
however, always finds place of refuge,
and the invisible team rolls by in the
darkness, leaving the stranger unframed.

what Mr.. Gladstone Has RisIed and
suffered.


Mr. Gladstone has risked his life, suffer-
ed loss of property, and been cruelty en-
treated, for the sake of Ireland. When
he first brought up home rule, the win
dows of his house were broken, and his
carriage was smashed by the enraged
iingocs. When he was advocating It at
Chester in June of last year, villain
flung a missile at his head; IL struck him
in the eye, endangerng his sight, and for
the wound thus inflicted he is vet i'm the
hands of an oculist About half year
ago a murderous minded wretch made an
attempt to kill him by shooting him, for
which crime the wretch is awaiting trial.
On the 18th of this month, when return
ing to London from his home by railroad,
big stone, which fortunately missed him.
was thrown at him as he sat in his COM
partment. When he went to the Prince
of Wales's reception in the Imperial In
stitute, fortnight ago, he was abomina-
bly, insulted by the ill-bred anti-lrsh
snobs who INDUCED in hootng and black
guard language as he passed along the
lines, while beieweled women of title
Craned their necks as they vented their
spite by kissing the venerable man. In
the anti-lrish papers of his country the
most offensive epithets are applied to him,
and he is maligned as a traitor, monster,
and malefactor, The whole record is most
shameful. The obstreperous tories of Eng
land have made a spectacle of themselves
before the world while outragng, assault
ing, and vilifying the most eminent of
modern statesmen.
Gladstone has risked his life time and
again, has suffered obloquy, has defied the
tory aristocracy, has bearded the tory
church, and has stood the hazard of losing
the favor of his sovereign, for the sake of
poor old Ireland. Well wears he his title
of Grand Old MANY. Y. Sun.
