of his most killing looks. and she respond

heart of the young man in blue beat so hard
that the ekettledrums in the Turkish vi lagt
were not to be compared for sound As he
gazed into the YOUNG woman's limpid eye.
the order Of Colonel Rice that all members
OF the Columbian guard must desist from
flirting was forgotten. As he walked proud.
Is and fre each turn brought him nearer to
the smiling beauty, and each timo his man,
iy bosom was thrilled by the smile she gave
him.
This sort of thing went on for several
minutes, when she arose, and as she swept
into the vestibule she cast him a sidelong
glance which plainly said, Follow me. 2
The guard did so. BY the side lf one of the
columns stood his charmer, and she extend
ed a dainty hand, which sank out Of view
in his white glove After few minutesi
conversation The girl asked for the time,
and Guard White gallantly pulled from his
vest pocket the handsome gold watch he
carried.
''Oh, it is half past B." she cried, 'and /
must let mamma know the time. She sits
right in there Poor. dear thing, she is aw-

Tho n1alars at the Fair.

The fastidiOus creature from New York
who was shocked by Chicago people sitting
on their porches would have stroke Of
heart disease if he happened in on a Java
nese dinner at the fair. The liiliputians from
the east think dining rooms great extrav-
agance, and they find their vcrandas good
enough for them They are shaded by a
thatched roof above, and the matted floor
makes an elastic seat when they squat cross
legged. Their shoes, taken Off for comfort,
sit arcdnd among the dishes. but little
thing like that doesn't ruffie n Javanese ap-
petite. Several diners gather around a sin
gle tin basin of rice and curry standing on
the floor between them and dip up that
delicacy with rude tin spoons contributed
by orphaned tomato cans, and when they
get tired balancing the food on the slippery
piece of tin they go for that dish with lit
tie black hand and five fingers.
The Javanese drink coffee brought from
home, and their cups are joints of bamboo,
a neat and simple contrivance. Since com
ing to Chicago these pygmies contracted
the Teprehensible habit of eating bread. A
loaf is broken into pieces which are dumped
into basin, and each person grabs hunk,
which may be nearly as large as his head
and of course has no butter. The floor is
the table, the tin and the bamboo dishes are
scattered about promiscuously, every one
reaches for what he wants, there IS no cere-
mony, and the brownies" keep up amerry

pinerenee Of size In Flies.

To convince householders that the small
flies on their windowpanes never grow to
be large ones-in fact, never grow at all
is a task Of no little difficulty sometimes.
The difference of size in flies is always the
distinction Of sexes or species, but never OF
age. With the exception of the gradual
unfolding Of its crumpled wings no change
comes over the aspect Of fly from the mo
ment Of its birth from the chrysalis to
that of its death. A big fly is no more a
little fly grown up than a horse is an old
pony, or a goose a fully developed duck.
All the growth Of 4 fly is accomplished in
the maggot state, then a short period of
sOmnolence as smooth brown chrysalis
intervenes, from which finally the young
fly springs, like Minerva from the head Of
Jove, full sized as well as full armed. .-Ex-
