the time allowed for the completion of

already been accomplished, but little
further time will be needed TO finish
the work of installation.
There is just about as much to inter

at the fair as there would be We're it all

be the display of products, curios, etc,
but at present there is much to be
learned in the different methods of
doing things in vogue among the
various nations. 1t has been said by a
great many of the early visitors at the
fair that they wouldn't have missed
seeing the buildings in process of con-
struction for anything, and truly there
were wonders performed in the line of
architectural ingenuity.
Besides the electric light displays at
night there is another big attraction in
the grand musical concerts which are
furnished by the exposition band. An
elaborate programme is prepared each
day and some Of the numbers are fairly
enhancing. The band occupies large
pavilion in the grand plaza east of the
Administration building, and when it
is performing the surrounding space is
usually black with people. Among the
members of the band are some of the
best musicians in their respective lines
in the country, and their director Prof.

among the musicians of Chicago.

Medical Records Prove that the Evil Is
Not Abating.
1t would still be premature to con
clude that we have done with the prac-
tice of the i'll effects of tight lacing.
Were we disposed to doubt the preva
lence of this custom, the medical records
of every day could prove its continu-
ance, nor can we see how il should be
otherwise as long as the stiff corset re-
tains its place as an article of dress.
Now and then some fatal mischance is
found to be traceable to its abuse,
while instances where ill-health has
been the penalty are far from uncom-
mon. Every practitioner is familiar
with cases of this kind, and il needs no
searching examination to convince him
that among the pallid compilations and
palpitating hearts which require his at
tention some are directly tracea-
BILE to the pinching vanity of
the corset Why this effect should fob
low such a cause we need hardly ex-
plain TO medical readers. They can
well appreciate the vicious influence of
cramping pressure exercised upon the
trunk and its viscera without ce sSation
for the greater part of every day.
Let us, nevertheless, discuss briefly
the effect of such pressure upon the
different organs exposed to il. Natural
ly the kidneys being deeply placed may
be expected to escape entirely from its
direct action and they constitute the
sole example of such immunity. The
lungs and heart suffer almost If not in
equal degree and the con sequences in
their case are visible in impaired respira
ton, defective nutrition of the blood,
with consequent impoverishment of
every organ and tissue, and a weakened
and excited or languid cardiac action,
eliminating, il may even happen, as in
an instance lately reported, in fatal syn
cope. The effect upon digestion is note
worthy. There being but little space
for the normal expansion of the stom-
ach after eating, less and less food is
taken until the foolish sufferer is viz.
tually half-starved. Constipation is
necessary sequel, and fatulent disten-
sion adds another impediment 20 the
course of a laboring circulation and
overpressed respiratory organs. Natu-
rally those viscera which lie low in the
pelvis feel this strain, so that almost
every function required for healthy ex-
istence is deprived Of its normal exer-
else. What then of health itself? And
need we feel surprised if now and then
the thoughtless vanity which thus ex-
changes every physical comfort for mere
appearance leads to forfeit of life also?
If experience be credited, il is so-Lon-

There win soon be better outlook
for provender, however. for the rigid
investigation of the fair officials into
cases of extortion has put the restau-
rateurs on their good behavior, and the
action of the people in boycotting the
restaurants has had a salutary effect,
so that the difficulty some have expert
enced in obtaining creature comforts at

chs week has not been large enough
to crowd the grounds, and the
going has been constantly improv-
ing SO that the discomforts of the
first day have almost entirely dis
appeared, and a visit TO the fair
is now much more pleasurable Each
day brings forth some new attrac-
tions as the exhibits are unpacked and
installed and fresh features of interest
arc constantly being added about the
grounds.
The electric fountains and search lights
have been completed and are now in OPP
Grafton at night and the displays are
perfectly dazzling. The gilded statue
of the Republic and the dome of the Adj
ministration building CLINT in the fash
ing light and the whole city of white is
flooded with splendor. These displays
undoubtedly surpass anything of the
kind ever witnessed before, and their
magnificence will be one of the great
est wonders of the fair when com
pleted. The search lights are stationed
on the Agricultural building and by
their aid the whole country for miles
around can be illuminated. In addition
to these there are many great arc lights
which lend their brilliancy to the scene.
Those portions of the fair which still
remain unfinished are now receiving
the attention of doubled force of
workmen, who are putting forth every
effort to bring them to completion. Day
and night the work goes on almost I'M
ceasingly, one force relieving the other
at regular intervals, scarcely losing a
moment, so eager are the exhibitors to
reach the completion of their tasks and
have everything in shape as soon as
possible.
The exhibits are still coming in from
every direction, and as fast as they ar
rive they are seized upon by their own

A QUAKER CITY INDUSTRY.

Hangmen's Ropes of Finer Quality Than
Those Used for Ordinary Purposes.
Rope used for execu tioDs is made al
most exclusively by Philadelphia rope
factory and differs from ordinary rope
for commercial purposes in that it is
made by hand, instead of by machin-
cry, and finer quality of rope is en-
ployed, says the New York Herald.
Orders for such rope are received by
the Philadelphia firm from all parts of
the country. When the rope to be used
in hanging Is received by the sheriff it
is usually locked up carefully and kept
from curious eyes. As the day of exc
cuton draws near the rope is soaped
literally with common kitchen soap,
SO it may run freely through the moose.
Then ii is thoroughly stretched, one
end being tied to the gallows beam,
while to the other end is attached
about three hundred pounds of stone
or iron. The rope Is allowed TO
remain at this heavy tension for
hours, and then, after having been
well soaped again and rendered per-
fectly supple, it is laid away to await
the day when it is to be used for bust
ness purposes. AIIcI use TIC IOpC ~
usually considered to be one of the
perquisites of the hangman. II he is
not the sheriff himself, that official
usually cuts off few inches of the
moose and divides il up among his
favored friends as relics. The hang
man is then at liberty to dispose of the
remainder as he chooses. Usually he
sells it at fancy prices to curiosity
seekers or to dime museum managers
and others on the lookout for curioss-
ties. After the hanging of the four
Newmarket Observation-Disclosures Spies,
Albert r. Parsons, Henry Fischer and
William Engel-in the Cook county
Jail at Chicago, in November, 1887, the
ropes were taken from around the
mems necks by Sheriff Matson's depu-
ties. The greater part of the ropes
were cut up almost Immediately after
ward and given as relics TO the wit
nesses of the execution and others
Seven dime museums in different parts
of the country about month later
were exhibiting four uncut ropes,
which were sworn to as having been
the identical, unmutilated ropes with
which the four anarchists were hanged.
