SPLENDID ARCHITECTURE

SPLENDID ARCHITECTURE.
Perhaps the most beautiful and wonder
full thing about the worlds fair is Its
architecture. Competent judges are most
enthusiastic concerning it. Professor Ju
Illus Lessing, of the Berlin Museum of
Practical Arts, says of the structures and
the general arrangement of the grounds
that nothing grander ever found express
sion in architectural form; and that as
he contemplates 1t all he is overcome
with emotions of monumental immensity
such as are only experienced on one
other place of the globe-on the ruins
of the Roman forum. He notes the fact
that while Paris, the city of art, sur.
pIises the world with an Eiffel tower as
her chef d'euvre, America declines for
the ornamental attire of the Chicago ex-
position all that in the least might bear
the stamp of the forge and machine
which characterized the European enter
prises. Instead, Chicago has dug with
giant hands from the storehouse of ancient
art. If applicable a fac-simile of the old
model is introduced. Either in equal or
double proportions you will find repro
duction of the monument of Lysicrates, of
the temple of Vests, or of the Pantheon.
If the whole is not imitable the architects
have initiated all the genius of the past
ages from Ictinos to Pallsdio and Lepsutre
1t must be seen, he says, in order to be be-
lleved how these audacious designers of the
west have been able to transform their
colossal sheds into gorgeous palaces of
architecture. The secret must lie in the
mighty proportions of construction in
which every historically adopted member
or ornament is but a sound which receives
a new meaning in the teohniques of the
Columbian exposition. Strange to say, at
the north end of the lagoon grand palace
has been erected for the fshery industry
which has borrowed Its details from Ro-
msnesque csthedrals without evincipg the
least reminder of the same on the whole.
No counterfeit or imitation, as in the case
of many a modern church of Europe, but
q new creation of a most magnificent style.
This Ia high praise, but it is endorsed
by other good judges. 1t is proud day
for Chicago, which is noted for Its pork,
its wind and its Art

Farewell TO the Wee Bonnets,

Early In the sprirg there ~ss promise a
plenty of all sorts Of extravaganza In hats
and bonnets. With the incoming of an
unframed horde of shapes and shades,
many a woman of quiet taste trembled
when she considered the dread alternative
of being either unfashionsble, perish the
thought or being bedecked with unthink-
able colors dashed over shapes whose only
reasonable excuse seemed to lie In 8 rail-
road collision or a steamboat explosion.

Attention Farmers.

You are herein reminded of an Annual In
stitute to be held at Napoleon. Jan. 9th and
7th at the Rink Opera House. Strenuous
efforts have been put forth to make this
convention one of more than ordinary inter-
est. The State Lecturers, W. 1. Chamber
lin nd S. Fl. Ellis are widely and favorably
known and their presence at this Institute
cannot fail to make it of great interest to
every live farmer. In addition to the pro-
gram already published, we are to have the
assistance of Prof. J. S. Guyer of Napoleon,
who will have charge of the music, vocal and
instrumental. The 10th Reg't Band will
also give us lift on Friday evening. Let all
the farmers and their families of the sur
rounding country beon hand.

Only 10 DAYS.

You have only ten days more in which to
take advantage of the low prices on books
and holiday stationary at Saur S Balsley's
Drug and Book Store. The reason these
goods are offered at these very low prices
for few days only, is that they are goods
which were placed here on sale during the
holidays and those which remain unsold are
still further reduced in price, rather than to
pay return freight. Quite number of stand
ard works are in this offer and can be had by
the volume or sets to suit purchasers. The
stationary is staple and of the very best and
all who will invest are sure to secure bar
gains. The new stock of blank books, such
as day aybooks, journals, ledgers &C., suitable
for the use Of the farmer, the lawyer and the
merchant, for 1893 has just been opened out
and placed on sale. The stock of diaries and
almanacs is complete, so that one can hard
ly fail to make suitable selection. Re-
member that the stock of photograph al
buns at this house is so large yet that you
can buy one almost at your own price in or
der to reduce it.

Principal.h has for years been regarded as the
most eminent educator in the known Nor
NAL schools of the country. and who, while
IN position of trust and importance upon a
leading daily newspaper of Chicago, was

ments of the commercial interests of that
city. Amply fitted, intellectually aud other
wise, Prof. Boucher stands to day without
superior in the educational world. His
wife for years held highest positions in
leading normal schools and brings to this
institution abilities which mere salary could
never secure.
