these meetings between the peo-

The course followed in the canoe and
swimming races is through the court of

and while the races are going on the
piers and bridges along the line are a
solid mass of people.
Prizes ranging in value according to

ly amusing to witness the efforts of the
different nationalities to carry off the

The occasional parades of the nations

ORIENTALS AT THE FAIR,
Babies from Far-On Lands Who Add tC
the interest of the Exhibits.

Babies from Far-On Lands Who Add to
the interest of the Exhibits.
Among the young people who are
visiting the Columbian exposition this
summer are a ~Javanese baby, three
Chinese boys of from two to six years,
a pickaninny from Dahomey, a dancing
Soudanese baby, a little Bedouin girl
who dances in the Arab encampment,
a pappoose or two in the Indian village,
and a half-dozen Egyptian boys who
belabor the tiny gray donkeys in the
Cairo street These boys and girls did
not visit the fair to see the curious
things in the wonderful white build
ings. but to be a part of the show. They
are there to be looked at, not to look,
and they are among the most interest
ing of all the exhibits.
The black baby lives in the Dahomey
village, which is supposed to look as if
it had been picked up in Africa and set
down in Chicago. In some respects it
certainly does resemble the hot coun-
try about which Mr.. Glave has told us
during the past year. The ground is
sandy enough and the sunshine hot
enough for Sahara, and the reed
matched nuts which line the high
board fence surrounding the village are
uncomfortable enough in appearance
to satisfy the most enthusiastic ex-
plorer. In the middle of the village is
a larger hut, open at the sides and COW
cred with thatch, and in this hut the
jewellers of the Dahomey village dance
the war dance of their native country
every hour or two for the entertain
ment of the white people who stroll in
to see them. All of these men and
women are hideous in their gay calico
clothing, with strings of teeth and
strengthening bits Of stone and metal
hanging about their necks and dangling
from their arms and ears. But the
~pickaninny is as cunning as most other
babies are. When I saw him he was
sitting in a puddle of dirty water with
no clothing on to get soiled, watching
his mother and older brother securing
two or three brass and silver rings with
a bit of rag and a handful of sand.
The little fellow wanted the rings to
play with, and when he found that he
could not have them he set up a howl
that sounded very much like a white
boy OF two years crying because he
could not have a porcelain clock or a
circus wagon to play with.-Harper's
Young People.

the u of the poor workingman, who
had no other day to come to the fair.
Religious exercises were arranged
within the grounds and the gates
opened, but somehow the Chicago
workingman did not realize his advan-
tages. Dr. found that a day of sight
seeing was the poorest possible prep
aration for a week of toll. He lid not
need the Bible to counsel a day of rest.
Experience became an individual and
potent teacher. The small crowds that
did come on Sunday were far more
likely to make their way to the theaters,
dancing halls and beer gardens of the
Plaisance, than to the Art gallery or
Horticultural hall, and few appre-
ciate the advantage of paying fifty
cents to go to church on the fair
grounds when far more attractive
preaching is offered free of cost out
side the gates. The majority of state
buildings, all the exhibits of Great
Britain and her colonies and hundreds
of others were closed on Sunday, and
the attendance slowly diminished.
Then the authorities discovered that
the poor workingman'' inside the
grounds needed a day of rest, and, on
account of this and other deductions,
decided to close the great gates.

are quite prominent. There is a group
of Egyptians from the streets of Cairo
that cuts quite a figure with its dom
keys, camels and a performing monkey
of p~rodigious size. The wild people
from Dahomey, South Africa, also are
a drawing card, carrying out as they do
the of their native jungles,
which for picturesque savagery sur
pass anything to be seen at the fair.
Within the last few days several fete
days have been enjoyably celebrated.
Several of the states have held their
days, as have also the negroes, the
grocers and butchers and several be-
%nevolent associations. On these occa-
sions the crowd attains to mammoth
proportions and the grounds present a
holiday appearance. Each fete day is
marked by some special order of exer-
cises, and the members of the associa-
ton OF fraternity SO honored lay aside
all business cares and flock to the fair
grounds for a day of general jollity and
recreation. 1t is safe to say that no
worlds fair in all the history of ma
tons has ever been SO fully given over
to the people as is this of our Column
bian year.
The daily attendance has reached
an average of nearly two hundred
thousand and there is a promise of a
large increase during the remaining
two months of the fair. A payment of
ten per cent on the bonds has just
been ordered and it begins to look as
though there would be some profit in
worlds fair stock in spite of the opin-
ion of certain knowing mes to the con-
trary. Retrenchment has been the
order in the management Of late and
many large salaries have been reduced
or entirely cut off, and in other ways
the expenses have been reduced, all of
which goes to show that our great ex-
position is in a fair way to prove a
financial success.
The history of the Sunday closing at
the worlds fair has been interesting
and highly amusing. First, the Of
ficials declared, in private session, that
the gates must be opened on Sunday
because they could not afford to waste
the day. and in public they pleaded

| CHINESE AND THE PHONOGRAPH

They Start In With the Idea That 1t
Contains a Cannon Firecracker.
Did you ever see a Chinaman try a
monograph? No? Then you have
missed one of the best things this world
has to offer.
At the beginning the Chinaman
hasn't an all-abiding confidence in the
monograph. His experience in this
country hasn't been such as to give
him any too much confidence in any
thing that has the slightest appearance
of mystery about it. He tries it, if he
can be induced to try it at all, with the
| air of a man who thinks that it is all a
put up job and that the instrument con-
tains a cannon hrecracker that will ex-
plode at the proper moment and wreck
| one side of his face.
At least that seemed to be the idea of
a Chinaman who tried one of the phon-
ographs on the Midway Plaisance at
the worlds fair.
He waited until he had seen some
Americans try it before he could be in
duced to go near it and even then he
had grave doubts. He had a firm grip
Ou TIC SdI piCCcS dS hC pun tuCh IA hAo
ears. preparing to yank them out
promptly if anything exploded. There
was a solemn expression on his face,
too, IS if he was preparing to attend
his own funeral.
Then he got the strains of Papa
Won't Buy Me a Bow-Wow," or
something similar, and he grinned. His
eyes stuck out and the proportions of
the grin increased. He began nodding
his head and shutting his feet
His companions seemed to think he
was going crazy. They all began talk
ing at him at once. The head kept
going in time to the music as If it were
set on a pivot, and the play of his fea-
lures was a whole show in itself.
When the air was finished there was
an animated discussion among all the
Cinnamon in the party, and then each
in turn tried it. each showing the same
lack of confidence in the beginning that
the first had.
Then they moved to another phono-
graph and got a new tune. The last
seen of them they were moving steadily
down the Plaisance expanding their
cash in trying all the monographs they
came to.-Chicago Tribune.
