Paris costumes. But there is sort of
abandon and looseness about their
clothing that betokens ease and free
dom, to say no more. They have
their personal quarters some where
out of sight. The children are uutidy,
swarthy and unlovely in looks and
actions.
We pass out of the upper gate into
the broad Plaisance, and are just
alongside the great Ferris wheel. IF
you do not care to take ride around
it, about eight hundred feet, $50
feet up into the sky, you will be
willing to read a description, at least.
It is the biggest thing in the wheel
line in the world. 1t stands more
than 25O feet in height and cost $780,,
600. 1t is "a merry go round" affair
like the wheels that may be found at
county fairs, only immensely larger.
1t was designed by Geo. w. Ferris of
Pittsburg, Pa. The wheel is made with
two rims or sides, latter the manner of
the overshot water wheel. The shaft
is of iron, 80 inches in diameter and
45 feet long. This is said to be the
largest piece of shafting ever made.
Two great collars were fastened on to
the shaft upon which to fasten the
spokes of the wheel. A great timber
staging was erected on either side Of
the wheel, and a strong iron pillar,
like the supports of iron bridges, was
put up about 40 feet on either side,
and the bearings of the shaft and
wheel placed on them. Spokes of 215
inch iron rods run out from the col
lar to heavy iron rim some 40 feet
from the outer rim which are very
heavy; between the two rims there
are rods and girders much like the
mechanism of an iron railroad bridge.
The whole mass is bound together
with iron to be immensely strong. The
outer rims are circular and make
an even circumference. In this rim
are deep notches into which an i'm
mense geared apparatus runs to pro-
pei the wheel. A very large engine
runs the machinery and stops or
starts the wheel with seeming ease.
Hanging between the two rims of the
sides of the wheel are cars, thirty feet
in length, each of which comfortably
seats 40 persons. The sides of the cars
are plate glass with an iron lattice
work protection. The wheel with it's
car weighs 1886 tons. Fourteen hun
dred persons can make the ride at
once. The wheel runs as perfectly,
and almost as quietly as clock. The
sight afforded in trip in the wheel
is grand and almost inspiring.

out of a long and animated contro-

place was both a crime and a mistake,
and the Chicago directory put them
selves in very bad attitude before
the world, which they are now obliged
to acknowledge. When the people
of their own city repudiated their
proceedings by refusing to attend on
the Sabbath, and when great churches
and religious societies demonstrated
with them they were forced, whether

to have been something providential

For the first time in the history of
the glass trade, every plate glass fac
tory in the United States is closed,
and 10000 men are out of work in
consequence. The cause is the lack
of business. Every factory is stocked
with large surplus, and there are no
orders The families Of many Of the
workmen are already in want and de-
pendent upon charity. Work is not
likely to be resumed until the middle
of September. Comment upon the
reason of this depression has become
wholly superfuous. It has been in
operation every day since November
9, 1892, and few workmen are SO OBJ
tuse as not to understand it.

CHASED BY A BOX CAR.

to either outrun or wreck IL. The en-
gineer caught sight of it at the same in
slant that did, and put the lever down
among the tallow pots.
1T appeared impossible that we could
hold the track on the sharp curves
while moving more than n mile a min

tinued to saw wood. If we could once
get to the foot of the grade we would
be safe, but that was soon seen to be

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

NEVER buy cheap cows. People,
usually, do not want to sell good cows.

cused.

with honest butter?
WE see 1t stated that scalding hot

cold water, and then apply hot water.

Polly smiled upon him approvingly;
the Captain remarked that he didn't

plain-dressed folks as the Flagg family;
and Mrs. Flagg gave him a motherly
kiss.
