Grafton.
The infanta is the youngest daughter of
ex-Queen Isabella and was born in Madrid,
Feb. 10, 1864 When Isabella was banished
from Spain in 1868, the royal children ac-
companied her TO Paris, and though when
their brother was made king Of Spain his
royal sisters were permitted to return to
their native land they remained with their
mother, who was denied that privilege.
The infanta was married in 1856 to her
cousin, Antoine Louis Philippe Marie,
prince of observation-disclosures, son of the Due
de Montpensier Her husband is two years
her junior Madrid was the scene of their
nuptials and has since been their home.
They have two sons, Alphonse, Z years of
age, and Louis Fernando. who is D. Prince
Antoine, who accompanies his spouse, is
very wealthy, having inherited half Of his
fathers large fortune, estimated at Sl2 ,0O0,-
000 and the infanta outshines all the ladies
Of the court of Madrid in the magnificence
Of her toilets She had "A special outfit
prepared for her visit to America, and some
of her gowns are gorgeous creations, quite
rivaling in beauty and expensiveness some
of those worn by Americas wealthy fair
ones
The princess was not always able TO dress
so well, for her mother often had great diff
fculty in making both ends meet and had
TO resort to various articles to keep up APP
pearances. 1t is said that for a consider
able period they kept no cook, having their
meals furnished by contract with a restau-
ranteur, who found he did not have the best
Of the bargain, for Isabella was extremely
fastidious and exacting. Atthat time they
had no carriages Of their own either, but
rode about in hired conveyances, so that
life has not always been the bed Of roses it
now apparently is for the Infanta Eulalie.

Still, il is not TO be denied that even the
most casual and inattentive visitor must
be benefited to some extent And herein
lies the chief glory of the fair. If it were

to the present age, it would be "a grand
thing, no doubt, but it would not be worth
a 1.-THE Of the time and money and, above
all, the genius expended upon it, As an
instructor, an educator, however, it will be
worth all it costs and much more.
Most of the mere amusement hunters
will devote their time largely to the Mid
way plaisance, and certainly they will find
much pleasure In SO doing But the eth
nologist and ethnOgrapher may find fully
as much in their own peculiar way, and Ger
tainly no better opportunity has ever been
presented Of making comparative studies
of the different races and nationalties Of
mankind. Here are all races, classes and
conditions Of men grouped together in
characteristic villages and illustrating all
the phases of the lives they lead when at
home. Here are Turks and Egyptians, Al
gerians, Arabs and Soudanese, japanese.
Javanese and Dahomeyans, Maoris, Fski
mos, Laplanders and Indians. Whether a
man gets most amusement or instruction
out Of them depends entirely upon the spirit
and object of his visit, but there is nothing
to prevent his getting both.
Here is the street of Cairo, for instance,
full of color life and unique attractions.
The booths and bazaars are exactly like
those of the Egyptian city, and in them
may be purchased anything from a ciga-
rette to a costly rug. Then there are the
dancers in the theater, and the jugglers and
snake charmers, all decked out in their
gaudy fncrics. Here also is an exact re-
production Of the temple OF Luxor. which
was built by Amenoph III about 1850 b. C.
On the walls are sculptured battle scenes
and other pictures in the ancient style, and
before the entrance are two obclisks similar

VAssAR's NEW LIBRARY.

The building is four stories high, Of brick
and graystone, and beneath the front end
a stone porte cochere forms a much more
imposing entrance than the old flight Of
stone steps that formerly served the same
purpose. A wide entrance hall opens from
the porte cochere, and from it two wide
stairways of notified Vermont marble, with
balustrades of gray and black marble, lead
up to a loggia on the second floor. On the
right is the entrance TO the main corridor of
the college and on the left the door of the
library. At the other end of the room,
directly opposite the entrance, is large
brick fireplace with heavy andirons, and
overhead a deep recess and narrow win
dow through which view of the noun
tains can be obtained.
The effect upon the visitor who enters the
library for the first time is surprise at the
cheerful, lightsome appearance ofthe place.
There are actually three tiers of windows
In the walls, and they are all wide and OF
plate glass. On either side of the central
aisle are four large alcoves and three small
er ones. The larger alcoves are furnished
with tables and chairs Of polished oak for
the use OF students, the narrow ones being
simply passages between the shelves Ar
rangements have been made for two gal
lerles, but only one has yet been put in.
The alcoves on this exactly duplicate those
on the floor below, and the open space
around the center is handsomely rallied.
The building is freproof, and the shelving
is Of iron framework. and none of them is
too high to permit any Of the books to be
reached without steps The capacity of
the library without the second gallery is
10000 books, though there are at present
only 10000 in the collection.
But it is not only in the matters of con-
venience Of location and generosity with
light that Vassar's library marks a new
era. 1t is the evident intention to actually
make the books useful to the student. The
rule so far as practicable is mo bar to the
use Of books but the rights of Others" The
doors are open all day long. and in the even
ing, and on all holidays. The students
have free access to the shelves and can
take out books one at time for as long as
they want them.

You can have your choice. 1t depends
entirely on yourself whether the World
fair shall be for you an exaggerated dime
museum or a university Of liberal educa-
ton. IL you come simply to be amused,
you will have no difficulty in getting all
you come for, and before you get through
you will be likely TO realize that even
amusements can become tiresome. If you
come to learn, you will soon find out plenty
of things worthy Of study in the very places
In which others find only amusement. If
you only had time to study it all thorough
ly, what an education it would be! But if
the fair were to remain open 10 times as
long as it is likely to you would not have
time for that. The man is especially fortu-
nate who has time sufficient for the thor
ough study Of any speciality he may be in.
terested in. All that the average visitor
can hope for is a more or less thorough in
spection of the main features, and the edu-
cational profit to be derived from this will
very largely depend upon persons previ-
GUS habits of observation.

The new library of Vassar college, called
the Thompson annex library, is as unique
among college libraries as Vassar is among
collegiate institutions IL is not poked
away in the darkest corner Of a musty old
quadrangle, nor relegated to the most mac.
cessible and worst lighted rooms in some
building intended for other uses. Neither
is it erected in grim solitude apart across a
campus that is either slushy, muddy or
dusty enough to forbid a visit according to
the season Of the year. It is built in the
most prominent position possible, just as if
the college were proud of it, right in front
Of the main building, of which it forms an
imposing central pavilion.
