The Connecticut Building.

up among the state buildings, at the
northeast corner of the fair grounds, near
the sea wall where the surf makes Music.
there is a handsome old mansion which
the state of Connecticut has erected as
headquarters. 1t is a faithful rep: oduc-
ton of q colonial mansion. Before the
revolutionary period such buildings were
the pride of the Weather class of resi-
dents Of the nutmeg state. There are
many people living who remember the
older structures, and the rural towns of
the state still contain glorious architec-
tural examples of these manor houses.
long after their original owners have
passed away. When it was decided to
erect a headquarters for Connecticut OH
the fair grounds the state commission in
structed it's architects to reproduce one of
those historic mansions. This has been
done. Commissioner j.. H. Vail, who is
executive manager end secretary of the
Connecticut state beard, has taken up his
residence in the building with his family
until the fall. Mr.. Wallis family will &C.
cupy W of the rooms upstairs and the
1enitor's family will occupy another room.
The living apartments are on one side of
the spacious hall upstairs. On the other
side Of the ball are three rooms, which
will be open to public inspection. It is
difficult to do justice to the dainty furnish
ings of these three rooms. They are fitted
up with oil -fashioned bedsteads aud an
tique furniture. The bed quilts, curtains
and hangings are loaned by prominent
families of Connecticut, who value them
as heirlooms. One room is called the
Charter Oak room.

OF mans EFFORTS TO move his goods and
himself to and fro by mechanical appli-
ances. There is no more fascinating spot
in all the exposition than this, and some
day l mean to come in here and write Won
a story about it that I think YOU will be
glad to read.
Probably nine persons of ten are
strangely fascinated by the railway and
the steamship. Common as they are in
this and most other civilized countries,
man never ceases to watch them, to won
der and admire. In travelling about the
country how often will you see men and
even women peering under the huge boil
ers of the locomotives which haul their
train, gazing between the driving wheels
at the machinery there half concealed, and
trying to study out by what legerdemain
or magic these ponderous creatures are
made to fly like birds. Or you will see
passengers aboard steamships begging the
privilege of going down into the hot,
grimy, greasy hold to see the marine en-.
gines, the boiler rooms, the half-naked
stokers. As a railway train whizzes by a
locomotive round-house how many passen
gers glance within and say to themselves
they should like to visit that stable of the
iron horse? Or how many note the big
switch towers, with their innumeratle
levers controlling the tracks and the sig
nails and have a desire to know the secret
of the operation?
Well, all these and countless othe.
things are spread before the eye from the
transportation of the ancients to that of
the modernism land and sea, through air
or under water-in the transportation de
partment. WALTER WELLMAN.

Growing Wool.

We hockmasters will always make

much may be said about our paying
attention to mutton. IL is wise to
do SO. The fleece must grow and It
will always be product that will be
worth something. II we can make
the meat pay profit the fleece will
add to the profit. Then II is for Us
to grow just as much wool and lust
as good wool as we can. II Is not
difficult to grow good wool, and still
there are details that must be strictly
observed. The sheep must be kept
in good health and in good condition
all the time. II the flock is neg
lected at any period Of the year the
wool will not be good. II should be
an invariably observed rule to feed
well, to provide good pasture all the
time that 1t is possible to furnish
dry yards and to protect from the
storms. A good many ofus are care
less about doing WOOL up. and as sure
as we live we have TO pay for this
sort Of negligence. The fleece when
done up should have the hbre as
closely packed as when they are on
the animal, and should have a smooth,
white appearance. II is the dirty
looking. irregular fleece that the
buyer hates to see. The wool SHOULD
be kept until sold in a dry place AID
