very amusing and original expressions.
And if he will use his eyes as a Kodak,

While resting on Wooded Island, one
afternoon, we heard an old gentleman
say, Now Mandy, jest look at them
there boys up on top Of that Manerfact-
ers buildin' They Il fan off, as sure as
you're alive. I've mind to tell EN- to
keep off" But before he had gone far,
lady informed him that the boys he
saw were full grown. Distance lent
him no encbantment.
There is a fine exhibit of Onyx in the
Mines building from California and
Mexico. Pieces from two to three feet
long, with the most beautiful landscapes
naturally formed on them. lie was a
swell and as he pulled himself up to the
stand he remarked to his companion
that he had sampled such a number Of
stands and that he was going to do the
right thing by this one. The proprietor
evidently heard him make the remark,
for he gave him a bowl of the some
thing After the freshman had swal-
lowed every speck Of the contents, he
was informed by the proprietor that he
had been sampliDg Mellin's Baby Food.
The vehicle most admired, in the
Transportation building, is a white

She had Just entered the grounds and
being a short distance from her friends,
she thought she would pass through the
exit gates for the fun of if, so she said,
but she may have wanted to see what
was in exit At any rate when she
swung ont and thought OF swinging in,
she was surprised to find she had moth
ling to swing on. But as she had been
out only such q short time She con-
cnded if she told her tale of woe, she
would be able to pass through the gates
without going to the trouble of finding
her pocket book. which she had hidden
from the gaze Of any pick-pocket But
when she had told her sad story, she
was told. that to pass through these
gates she would have first to purchase
ticket She was also told that hun
dreds pass through exit, daily, on the
same errand.
There are a great many beautiful
Shetland ponies at the Fair. And they
are constantly surrounded by group
of children, who love to rub the noses
of ''the pretty little things" We were
near four brown beauties when they
had their pictures taken. They were
hitched to pile of Michigan logs, there
being forty-nine logs in the pile and
each log was four feet in diameter.
The Womans building is something
for every woman to be proud of. 1t is
piece of Art. showing the advance
ment of woman. She has exhibits there,
demonstrating her ability to work sue
cessfully in every line of work. The
| inventions here exhibited, illustrate that
she was born to use her brain as well
as her hands. But the poor men, or
some of them | should say, are slow in
recognizing her ability in any branch
of work but that which viii be good to
masticate and that which will make him
comfortable. There is one invention
here. that if the gentlemen would stop
in their forty-mlles-a hour gait
through the building to see, would
cause them to thank their stars that
one woman has invented something by
which their lives might some day be
saved. 1t is that attachment which, by
stepping on the spring in the bottom of
the bed of the carnage, the run away
horse is cut loose from the rig and the
occupants are saved from a disagreeable
experience or perhaps death. The
model IS seen here. while ii is shown in
the Transportation building on a car
riage.
Those who have failed to see the
great exposition have failed to see the
greatest photograph that was ever
exposed to view And they will not

thom in the amber Of memory, jewel
that will forever glow with the glories
Of the Eighteenth century.
