ana has a complete exhibit that
attracts attention. The New Or
leans Cotton Exchange has sent cot
ton enough to supply aprovince. Ken
lucky boasts of producing more than
half of the tobacco of this country, and
1t was to be expected that the weed
would occupy prominent place in her
exhibit. This expectation is not dis
appointed, for the weed divine" indeed
occupies the post of honor. Tobacco
leaves droop from the cornices and col
umns of the pavilion and are utilized
in every possible way for purposes of
decoration Nebraska has imported a
corn castle and corn is king there.
Exalted on a pedestal in the center of
the pavilion is the genial goddess of
the corn plant. Cornucopias showing
the products of the State adorn the
walls, and the eight pointed arches of
the pavilion are covered with corn in
the ear. Vermont runs to maple sugar,
and she shows this toothsome article in
every variety and shape. Wisconsin
has pavilion that is marvel. 1t is
of Moorish architecture, and has more
gaudy domes and pinnacles than can
we'll be counted. It is a maze of en-
bellishments crowded into small area.
Corn halved, CHARTERED and cut into
Sits and fashioned in stars, dia-
monds, hearts, clubs and spades,
all standing out in relief from a
colored background, confront the Wis
itor at all points. Illinois has huge
pavilion with wheat, corn and oats fan
cifully arranged in all parts of it, the
idea evidently being to attract all the
attention possible. Ohio has a gable
ended building in which to show her
products, while Pennsylvania has &C.
cupied the space allotted to her with a
dome-covered ediice. In making the
rounds of the State pavilions, however,
there is more Or less monotony, even
in the variety offered, unless the Wis
itor cares to make a careful study of
the displays made by the different
States. The wheat growing, corn pro-

can be thrown into one room, for in
place of the dividing walls there will
be rows of pillars OF carved Italian
marble. Curtains hung between the
pillars will take the place Of walls.
So when this immense floor is thrown
open and the picture gallery curtains
drawn there will be ballroom sur
passing anything in this country. In
one corner OF the great conservatory
will be large fountain, with basin
of fancy marbles and silver cupid.
Mr.. Yerkes will support an orchestra

bathroom will cost $4,000. The
ceilings in the principal rooms will
be painted by French artists. The
dining room ceiling, on the first floor,
will cost 10000, and will represent
a hunting scene and a banquet after
the hunt. There will be an electric
elevator in this private residence.
Electricity will play an important
part in the decorations. The lamps
will be hidden, no lamps or globes
appearing in sight except in the main
parlor, where a Chandelier will be

ly all the remainder OF the space or
the main floor is the exhibit of cereals
and other farm products OF the States
of the Union.
There are many novel ways OF show
inc commonplace exhibits, and the in
genuity of the agents employed by the
Commissions from many of the States
has taken curotus and interesting
forms. MANY of the exhibits are the
prize products of State and county

Agricultural Building contains the

In the southern annex to the Agri-

made from the time when men dug into
the earth with sticks to prepare it for
the reception of crops. The primitive
latest product of the inventive genius
of man. There are also machines which

and do everything else save making
it into bread. No one can really UNI

AN AMERICAN PALACE.
A Magnificent Residence Being Built by
Millionaire Yerkes.


Millionaire Yerkes.
A Chicago paper says that some
mllllonaires go to heaven when they
leave Chicago and some go to-New
York. Charles T. Yerkes belongs to
the latter class. Inside of two years
the Chicago street car magnate will
become resident of Gotham, and
the wonderful house in which he is
to live is now in course Of erection.
It will stand at Fifth avenue and
Sixty-f1rst street, New York, pala-
tial residence which will cost 81, $780,
900. The house will be Of brown
stone, four stories high, with artistic
carving over the f1rst-story windows.
The deliberately carved main entrance
will be approached by twelve steps,
hewn from solid block Of brown
stone, and will cost 500, 900. The
picture gallery will be $50 feet in
length, and will be in the rear of the
building. 1t will be one story high,
with glass roof. In this gallery
will be shown Mr.. Yerkes' famous
100000 collection of old mas
tiers. The gallery will open into

How the Indian Prays.

prayer is the souls sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed" And the
manner of expressing desire may diff
fer widely. The Indian may be as
religious as is the Presbyterian, yet
he never kneels when he prays. He
never addresses the Deity by word of
mouth at all. Yet he asks for the
blessings he needs, and asks for them
with as much faith and as much
reverence as does his whittier brother.
They want a good corn crop, and
they gather a handful OF green twigs
or grasses, bind them together with
a reverent faith that the Deity is
willing and able to help them. They
lay the emblems or hang them in a
place where the sun will shine upon
them, and leave, assured that their
prayer has been heard. It may not
be answered. The corn may not
prosper right away, but they are in
no wise discouraged. They bind to-.
gether another emblem and offer it
in another place. Some places have
particular favor. It is believed the
Deity sees them place them there
better than in some other place. 1t
is simply the Christians idea of
sanctuary in another form.

A GREAT and good man has gone
on record as saying that the person
who reads the daily newspapers has
the advantage of acquiring practical
education that will stand him in use
for about all things he meets with in
the ordinary walks of life. The New
York World adds to this sentiment
when it says that, frankly considered,
the increase in the habit of news
paper reading must be adjudged to
be altogether for good and for the
enlargement and enlightenment of
the popular mind. The newspaper
reading habit is one which grows by
what it feeds on, and the newspaper
is an apostle and missionary. More
than all other forms Of publica ton
combined, it cultivates the habit of
reading, and it is the wide prevalence
of that habit which causes books to
sell and circulate and gives to the
magazines the phenomenal success
they have attained in the last ten
years. Our public schools teach all
our people to read. The newspaper
supplies them with profitable mat
ter for reading and stimulates them
to make use of the key IF intelligence
furnished them by the schools.

The smallest French Conscript.

The smallest conscript in France is
Ld6is Bernadat of Luret. in the depart
ment of the Allier. This martial per-
sonage is barely 20 centimeters in height,
which is just about 2S inches. or , feet /
inches, in our measurement. Little Ber-
nadat came of age this year and was
summoned to draw his number ont Of
the conscription urn like his fellows of
the same age, and he gravely presented
himself as hidden. At first, when his
name was called out, it was thought he
was some child who had been brought
in and was told to answer as a joke. But
on looking at him again it was seen that
he was a dwarf with slight mustache.
As the top Of his head did not reach
to the level of the table on which the urn
was placed, Il gendarme in attendance
laid hold of him by the collar and lifted
him up to draw his number. The father
of this lilliputian soldier, who of course
will not really be made to serve, is a
well to do farmer. who is very fond of
him and has refused several seductive
offers from showmen who have wanted to
exhibit him.-London Views.

English Whalcbacks.

One of the novelties of the year in
shipbuilding is the turret deck steamer
built by W. Doxford 6 Sons Of SUnder-
land. England, which is practically q
modification of the whaleback type now
largely used on the great lakes. In the
only vessel of this design yet built the
hull is shaped like most other vessels
from keel to water line. but from the
water line the shell Is rounded off up
ward and inward until 1t terminates at
the upper deck level in an upright struc-
ture. misnamed Il turret, running fore
and aft. The vessel has no sheer, the
deck reaching III a perfectly straight
line fore and aft.
The plating. running inward from the
water line to the turret deck Is thick and
strong like that of the hall proper, so
that the whole skin Of the vessel above
and below is of the same thickness.
The engines are placed aft, as in
whaleback steamers. so that from the
engine room to the forecastle there is a
long, continuous hold, interfered with
only by the necessary bulkheads. The
boats accommodations for engineers
and crew are all abaft the engine room,
but the captain and officers are placed as
usual under the bridge forward
