CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Illinois Wo-
man S Exhibition Board will conduct a
model kitchen in the Womaus S Build
ing, space for that purpose having al
ready been assigned. The management
of the department is under Mrs. Rich
ard Oglesby of Ell1hart, who has plan
ned the work to illustrate the value Of
corn, one the chief food products of H.
inois. Lessonsin the scientific and hy-
genie preparation Of food will be given,
such as involve no loss of nutriment or
useless expenditure Of personal energy
or fuel. All the modern contrivance
for saving labor and annoyances will
as far as possible be in actual use.
A model pantry exhibit will also be
made in connection with the kitchen, in
which will be shown jellies, canned
fruits, meats and puddings. One of the
! notable features Of the kitchen exhibits
will be book of corn recipes, compiled
and tested by the women of Virden, III.
Installation of the German exhibits
in the Art Building is progressing rap
| idly, and there is every indication that
| it will be in readiness for the opening
| May l. At present the German section
is by far ahead in getting ready. Sew
eral pieces of bronze statue are now to
be seen. They are very fine. Germany
has taken greater pains with pavilions
and selected better spaces for its exhib
its than any other foreign country.
The rarest exhibits at the Exposition
will be a selection of Coalport china. A
speciality is the chalcedony decoration,
| which reproduces the hues of the agate.
Imitation turquoises are studded on
some of the vaces with fine effect. Two
graceful vaces, present from the Prin-
cess Christian, are adorned with an ag-
ate scheme of decoration. Two still
more elabore are in preparation at the
Coalport works. A hand painted des-
sert service adorned with portraits of
famons beauties and a coffee service in
hammered Coalport china, the cups in
black and gold on the inside, and the
jug and other vessels in white and gold
will be exhibited.
A mammoth piece of pen and ink work
will be sent the Fair this week 1t
comes from Milwaukee and represents
in symbolic figures the history of Wis
consin. 1t will be placed in the Wis
consin building. The work was eXecu-
ted by John Tyrell, of Milwaukee, and
is probably the largest piece of ar
feet by 9 in dimensions. Mr. Tyrell
will accompany the work to see that it
is properly taken care of and placed.
The story of Grace Darling is IA
miliar to all. 1t has been told in
every country both in prose and poetry,
and has even been put on canvas. 1t
may interst our readers to know
that the same little craft the heroine
went to the rescue of the passenger
steamer Forfarshire, on the rocks Of
Farne Island, Sept. 6, 1888. will be on
exhibition at the Worlds Fair. It was
brought from Tynemonth, EngIsssssdl !: :
and will be on exhibition in = Nh (, Trans.

The question now before the Transit
Board Is how are the people to get con-
veyance from one parto the city to an
other after May l. On deslic alton day
the South Side elevated road carried
within a period of twelve hours ll5 900
people. Its equipments then was eigh-
ty-fve cars and nineteen locomotives.
1t has now one hundred and eighty
cars and forty-six locomotives. Nav |
the company will be ready to operate
| its ears from Congress- street the start
ing p0int) to its terminal station in the
fair grounds near sixtv-fonrth st.eet
This station in the park viii be en- eab-
crate structure, with q capacity Of ac-
commodating, perhaps 10000. persons
an hou,. The trains will run two min
utes apart and Will be able TO carry
10000 people each hour. That means
/ the moving of nearly 1000,00 people
every twelve hours.
The Illinois Central will probably car
ry twice as many people as the elevated
road, as they have their depots nearer
the tier of the city.
