others colleges Smith and VassAr sections ring with clear voices and light laughter.
 Some see the fair in museum-I -IIke man ner. and when they have carefully noted specimen i, ,72e they are happy. But there Is 90 vast an amount to be seen, that in order to enjoy the fair we gave up trying to see the buildings in detail. Passing through the Mining building we would glance at the German Agstes, the Montana silver statue, the diamond cutting and washing, the weaving of asbestos, the Mexican rose garnet and the California onyI; and then pass on to the Electricity building, where the weird power flashes and is gone, where song, laughter and speech come from unseen persons, where the telAntograph feproduces at one end of the wire exactly what the operator draws or writes st the other end, where iron Is forged, and brass is cut into nuts and bolts, and silver and gold plating Is done all by inc unknown power, electricity. Again we pass on into the Transportation building, where whole sections of steam ships stand built, and magnificent locomo- lives contrast with curious ancient and foreign engines. There are also coaches old and new, used by the Lord Mayors of London and the people of the United States of America. Thousands move si lently by the model of the Victoria drsped in erspe, hiding her battery. What with Turkish arabas and Japanese jInrlkishas, Mexican o&-csrts and Vermont slsighs, ca noes and bicycles, snow ploughs and air brakes, our eyes become weary; and we hasten without, lest, having Absol bed too much, our memory bags should burst and we forget 1t all.
 The heaviest cars ever run by electricity are on the iniramural elevated road at the World's fair. We board these, and as We glide along have & fine view of Horticul- tursl hall with its great glass dome, the Children's building where mothers leave their infants so that papa can see the fair, the beautiful Women's building with its wonderful bsndiwofk, the unique City of State buildings, each different in srchitec- tur, from the grandeur of the New York palace to the rough log house of Idaho and So before We know 1t we are leaving the cars at Mount Vernon station. Near the station and within sight and sound of the splsshing lake stands the Connecti- cut stste building. IL Is very comfortable and home Ike. MT. Vail is to be congrst- ulated upon his management. In the reading room Is the register book and the Connecticut pspers, among which We found & file of the JOURNAL AND COURIER The parlors and bedrooms are handsomely equipped in the old colonial style. and there is no wall paper, tapestry and fresco tsking it's place. The building is closed at five o'clock, and in go d New England style does not open its doors to the public on Sunday. After resting while here We walk along the lake front past the Oeylon building with its cuTiosities and natives, the French and German mansions with their rival exhibits, ths Spanish building and the Victoria House to the battle ship Illinois, the naval exhibit, showing the best type of @ modem floating fort fully prepared for action. If one could do co much in & morning ss to go through the Government building. walk down the raain aisle of the Mauufscturers' building, and then past Agricultural Hall to the wind mills, he would be very glad to reach the White Horse inn Over the door is 6 white horse carved in wood, the inner court is paved with large bricks and in the gallery sit musioians; even the smoking and reading rooms are carried ont on the
 
 and laokeys in knee brooches wait upon the tables. Here VIC cit, and after dining listen to the musio. snd then spend the Af- ternoon in the Midway Plsisance, tho worlds pleasure ground.
 We are in the JRvAnesse village with ih bamboo houses and matched roofs. After seeing the natives work, women st EtTiDged orDAmsnts and men al carpenter work, W, sit on the porch of fhe coffee house and drink delicious Java coffee, the whils smoking native cigarettes bought of JE vRnesse. The cigarette is pinch of strong tobacco rolled in sweet palm leaf and makes a delightful smoke.
 But we must not be too long here, f5l there is the German village snd old Nienna with their bands of m1s.c and old time towers, and the glAss-hloWing pRviiiont and the pansgauas. Then to tho Ferris wheel, from which, as we swing up and out, over and down, we sec beyoEd the white towers Apd their flags of all nations out on the bread lsks; then VIC zee the great Iron frame below; then look ont on that big smoky city and the buildings of the new Chicago university at our feet. What fun We will now have In the streets of Cairo. The cAmels and the donksys driven by natives come puEhing through the crowd, that laughs and huTrAhs at the gentlemen in silk hats and well dressed girls who must have a ride. The ehCpR | the children, the marriage procession, Al help in completing the dsl1Eioa-we ar, | in Cairo.
 But presto cbsng-, we are in Blsrns, | castle, kissing the ysritsb.e Blsrney stone | and again we are in a DAhomey village | the natives are working at their trades cooking, and one old fellow socompAnyini himself with native harp 10 singing O. his head he wears a skin cap, in his moutl he holds sn American pipe. Ills tunes ST weird ard mono;onous, many ending in minor. In all his sorg can be Eeen the or | igIn of the love of music found In oui | American negro, and that beautiful, pa thetic minor so much loved by the oOloTst race. A bystander remarks, "Cong' whisky" He quickly looks up with twinkle In h!s sky black eyes, "Cong whisky, factI factl." Greatly tO In amusement of the crowd, be ends strAil with the words Boom ts-rA-rs-COluu bIal" We turn from him to the minstrel with drums aud fif-s. Near them the Ds tives lounge in groups. The women wal riors, or amszons, are smoking pipes an cigars. But the musiciaos strike up thei tum tum and the Amszons and warrior dance in prowling manner. The villsg is extremely interesting, for In the Peoplt | the origin of the excitsble nature, the loF of color, dance, music and leisure foun in our negro can be clearly seen. But " have not yet been In the bszars of Japan Tunis and Turkey, where far away Moses the famous eastern merchant, has his good for ssle.~ Nor have we seen lions, pan thers, tigers, bears and dogs lie down to gether, trained by MT. Hagenbeck.
