me nus, music BOXES, EXHIBITS that re-
late to the theater, scenery, bells,
chimes, music glasses, etc. Here, as
everywhere, can be seen the very
best in the special line mentioned
which the world produces to-
day. 1t is needless to say,that the show
is wonderful.
We drop in and make short call on
the Denmark people and see what
they have made that is prettiest and
most wonderful. All! the first sight
shows that they are skillful in furni-
ture making. Here is beautifully
modelled and carved furniture; here
are sets, and cabinets, and chairs in
poker work, in laquered work, with
fine pictures burned in wood, and
pieces of furniture that no description
will do justice to. g Then there is terra
Gotta work, mosaic work, ceramic
work, painted tableware, granite ware
and porcelain; here is a department
for engraved copper and brass work,
art metal work, enamel work and
brOnzes = all interesting and pretty.
Here is a place where one can see
what is done on glass ceilings, and
here, too, is a fine display of wood
and carvings in common and fancy
articles; here is gold and silverware,
gold ornaments, jewelry. Here is a
most interesting case Of elder down,
feather work and fur clothing. We
notice that the twenty five or thirty
exhibitors in laces, art embroidery,
curtains and curtain trimmings, arti
fetal flowers and lace decorations are
women, nearly all from Co.
penhagen. Ladies should not forget
to see the laces in the Denmark pa
vilion.
If the day is hot, and it is liable to
be SO when you get there, lit will be
well to drop into the Norwegian sec
ton, where there are pictures of ice
cold regions and frozen seas. The la
dies who visit the Norway part of the I
Exposition will linger before the rich,
beautiful, and immensely costly work
in embroideries. Time can not be
very valuable where embroidery of i
this sort is done. And then the Jew
elry, in gold, diamond and filagree
work; the tableware of hundred
sorts, the beautiful wall hangings, the
model loom work; wood carvings in
artistic forms, hand made rugs, leath
er work. Here are the curious winter
costumes of the frozen country, skins
of Arctic animals, including seal skins,
catfish skins. Here are the hunters
outfits-his spears, guns, boats, snow
shoes. Every far away country has
much that is novel and interesting to
the sightseer at the Fair.
The exhibits Of Russia were long de-
layed by the ice blockade of the Bal
tic and were not all in position, but
enough could be seen when we
that the show is great and wonderful
N variety. The exhibits partake
somewhat of the nature of that north
countryI and it's climate, but they are
great, nevertheless. The description
given above of Norway applies pretty
we'll to Russia, so far as it goes.
While we are in the vicinity Of Bel
siun and Denmark we will drop in to
catch glimpse of some of the more
interesting things shown. The Belgi
I'm exhibits embrace a large range !
nd consist of much that is useful, as : :
veil as that which is chiefly orna-
mental. A large space is given to
products, including, pharm
ceutical preparations, cosmetics, oils,
ssences, chocolates, coloring materi-
Is, artists colors. One who has not
cen how it can be done will be sur
rised at the artistic displays that can
g made with articles and materials Of 1,
he character just named. Somehow =
nese foreigners have great skill in
utting up their goods for beautiful
how. Here are articles of furniture
here the best skill is displayed, dec
rative paintings, lpanel drawings,
raperies, beautiful mirrors set in
olden frames; and here can be found
orcelain tableware, marble tiles and
antels; here are bronze statues,v vas
and groups. Here is a great show
window glass, cut and engraved
asses. We notice a great variety of G.
brics, ranging all the way from cot
N prints to most beautiful cotton and
oolen goods. Here is almost ev
ything in linen and damask. In
boots and shoes, fur goods,
ere is a large variety. When we
rike the cases of embroideries and
ces we need the knowledge and the j
ords Of another to describe what is u
oroot 1oon of p
