A knowledge of geography is evil
IDENTIFY unnecessary in fitting Italian
city officials for their duties. At least,
even if it be important, it is not always
to be found. The author of European
"Reminiscences" says that he once
mailed a letter for America in the post
Office at Naples, and found great diff
Guilty in having it registered.
Finally, when that operation was
completed, the official suddenly ex-
claimed:
where are the five seals?"
what do you mean?" asked the
traveller.
Registered letters must have five
seals, in order to secure their safe
transportation, was the reply. Then
the Italian added. with a sudden
thought; "Scusate, signorl / see this
goes to America Letters to South
America and Africa are allowed with
out sealing wax, since the melting Of
the wax spoils other postal matter"

Recent Progress at the Grounds Briefly
Told
With an army of workmen placing
the finishing touches on the various big
buildings, the carpenters and painters
at work on the unfinished State struc-
lures, and the heavy daily receipts of
exhibits from all parts of the world,
the Worlds Fair grounds present the
appearance of great activity. Most of
the carloads of goods which have been
received from foreign countries, and
as soon as unloaded are installed in
their proper sections in the various
buildings. Construction work in that
portion of the ground between the two
parks devoted to the customs of nations
is nearing completion, and an interest
ing display is confidently expected.

HOW TO PRoNoUNCE "HAwAII."
A Question Frequently Asked and Vari-
Ously Answered.

-
How to pronounce the name Of the
island kingdom which wants to be an
|nexed to the United States is a ques-
ton frequently propounded and vari.-;
|ously answered nowadays. The most
commonly accepted pronunciation,
and the one authorized by Lippincott's,
Worchester's, Webster's and the Cen
|turys dictionaries, is, ''Ha-wi-e," the
second syllable accented, and the 81"
pronounced as in 'pine." The same
question was once asked of high-cast
Hawaiian lady, well educated in her
PWn and the English language. Shean-
fWsred: The proper pronunciation is
1ah-vahe-e. There is no Wv" in our
alphabet, and no letter or combination
u letters which take the sound of ''w,"
in English.

Cleaning the Cow Stable.

There is no doubt that in a great MANY
localities, says the Orange Judd Farmer,
the methods which experience has shown
to be economical in the older dairy re-
glons are unknown. How to dispose Of
the droppings lie a very important mat
ter. We give the method which best
suits the majority of cases. Make long
stone boat, and place upon it box re-
sembling wagon-box, though not 90
long. Have the boat with its box large
enough to hold one days droppings.
Ciean out every morning, throwing the
dropplngs into the stone boat, and haul
directly to the field. This saves loss
through teaching in the barnyard. Scat
ter as you unload. The person unload
ing can stand on the ground; so he
need not get soiled. The stone boat viii
run winter, summer, spring or fall. 1t
will go over snow, bare ground or mud.
ANY time the team can keep on top OF
the ground the stone boat can be used.
For greatest convenience arrange the
stable door 30 one horse or two can haul
1t inside and move 1t along behind the
cows as fast as the droppings are scooped
IN. II there is not room to turn it around
inside, it can be pulled backwards with
single horse then hitch him to the
front end, and let him haul it alone as
far as the door, when his mate can be
hitched on If the door is too narrow to
let a double team through. OF course,
the droppings are in a gutter, so they
are easily scooped into the boat, or the
COWS stand on platform and the drop
pings lie in line on the floor behind.
This saves work and manure.
