In God we trust
Chicago or bust.


rndsrneath IT tramped FIVE dogs, which
the excursionists confidently expected TO
sell for enough to defray all expenses.
Eye-witnesses of the peculiar pageant
agreed that the most probable alternative
would be-bust!
Nr. H. n. Wylie, the 'cvclist, jumped OF
his wheel at the Randolph-street entrance
of the City Hall. Chicago, June 27th at IL
o'clock, having made the trip in ten days
from New York.
Is BFINai TRACKED.
A "trusty" servant from the House OF
Refuge here hitched the superintendent
horse to the assistants buggy and sailed
forth to the fair at a rafting good pace.
He is being tracked at the present writing.
In spite of the World'sFair Specials 4"
every train that leaves this city is packed
70 suffocation. The Big-Four, Pennsyl-
yanis. and Monor routes are running
their Chicago trains in sections-some-
times as many as four 10 one train.
DEPENDS ON YOURSELF.
The papers of the surrounding cities
still continue TO wage war on Chlcaso's
extortIon" and robbery" Chicago
papers are brsvely repeating that 1t de;
bends on yourself whether or no you Will
be robbed, as if any one would be willing
ly. But all agree that the fair Is worth
seeing at any price-any sacrince-eFeh
though upon your return from the fair
YOU find yourself IN the predlcament OF
Simple Simon, Of Mother-Goose fame,
who

Coming from the fair.

Notwithstanding her southern descent,

that she was endowed with the gifts OF
meny nations. Her tall, statuesque hgure'
golden hair, fair skin, and beautifully
moulded features are purely Greclan.
She has the lovely curved lips and radiant
smile that bespesk an Italian origin,
while her eyes-those eyes that shame
the violet n-carry in them the light OF
glorious womanhood. and the spirit OF an
Intolnette or Marie Louise. Miss Clarke
is not only a thoroughly beautiful woman,

MANY. and these, combined with her rare
talent of making friends everywhere, her
charm of manner and lovely disposition.

However often l have witnessed the
death of dear relations-children for in
stance, or husbands--I never had occa-
sion to observe the wringing of hands to
which European women of the lower
classes are so much addicted. A bitter
sorrow was expressed through deep sink
ing Of the head, grasping the hands to-
gether shedding Of tears. That strong
mental agony which digs into the soul,
50 to speak, and takes hold of it like a
bodily pain seems to be unknown to
them. They never turn to heaven their
faces bathed in tears" an action which
To us seems not only natural and in per-
feet accord with the essence of grief, but
is considered as beautiful and as a worthy
subject of artistic representation.
In prayers the japanese mother does
not lift her eyes to heaven. With bent
head, the body somewhat shrunk to-

a policy led by humanitarian princi-
pies, or dictated in accordance with the
taste and exigencies Of free and con-
stitutional nation, is a sign OF weakness
in eastern eyes. and the English, who
twice evacuated Afghanistan, without
being obliged to do SO. are looked upon
by the Asiatic either as fools or az ma
ton incapable to lend sufficient power to
It's will There is another fact which
should not be overlooked in our COM
parison Of England's conquests in Asia
with those of her northern rival.
The exploits of the British armies on
the Indian peninsula have become very
little known in the Mohammedan world,
for the good Moslems are in general iS-
norant about their coreligionists in In
dia. but the Russian victories, trumpeted
in all directions, have become the subject
Of bazaar gossip in the most distant re-
gions of the east.
The fame Of Russian valor having been
flashed abroad it is natural that the Mo
haminedans, overawed, should turn their
eyes toward the so called invincible en-
envy. Their admiration increased the
more they heard of the affable and
friendly manners and customs of the
Russians, Of whom it is said that they do
not betray pride and haughtiness like the
commonality Of unbelievers and that
there are many points Of resemblance
between them and the Mohammedans
There really is some truth in those as
sertions.-Vambery in National Review.

The agitation against the smoky fur
naces of many Of the large cities OF the
country has resulted in large number
# patented CRATES, steam jets and other
devices to obviate the evil. One of the
simplest of these has been designed by
the chief engineer of the Rookery build
ing at Chicago. The electric, elevator
and heating plants in this large struc-
turc are necessarily of considerable size,
and the boiler plant has been producing
an Objectionable amount of smoke. To
prevent this smoke Mr.. W. G. d. GILES
pie, the engineer in charge, has built a
furnace which has large number of
urifices in front of and over the CRATE.
When coal is first thrown on the CRATES,
air is allowed to have access to the
flames until it is seen through small
peephole that the lightest products Of
combustion have been burned off.
Then one hole after another is closed
until just the proper number remain
open to feed the necessary amount Of
air to the flames. A furnace of this type
has been in use for several months and
i; reported to have given perfect salts
faction. The use of peepholes enables
the tiremen to watch the character of
the fame at all times, and the airholes
enable more air to be admitted as soon
as any smoke appears.-Exchange.
