The unanimity With which the lead ing papers of the country have enthu- siastically praised that enterprise known as The Chicago SpectatOrium. of Chicago, would seem to indicate that it is indeed long way beyond anything M the kind ever seen. The Chicago Herald summed it up in line by saying:-''People will one day talk of it as the most fascinating feature Of the Fair" The Inter Ocean says:-- A were ready to agree that this Spectatorium would be to art what the Eiffel Tower was to engineering" The Times in line related, "There was promise of the most startling novelty that the world ever saw" The Trib- une in alludiDg to it spoke of it as natural effect" and called the things seen wonders. The Chicago Evening Post characterized it as a wonderful creation which in many minds would rival the Worlds fair itself. The Globe said t hat the model even sur passed many spectacular plays given on a large stage and called the enter prise "A marvellous thing and said, .' The production would be the most advanced realization of realism com bined with perfection of the ideal" The Illinois Staats Zeitung said, Ut will. without doubt, be one of the grandest sights which was ever given to the public !" The Louisville Cou- rier JoUrnal alludes to it as "a remark able combination of science and art at Chicago, whose splendor will eclipse anything ever before wit nessed." and the Commercial Gazette of Louisville calls it "A wonderful work of creative genius. A feature that will rival the Worlds fair itself, surpassing the most splendid achieve nents of the modern stage The De troit Free Press said it would be ''one If the most prominent attractions of the West and its object is to make an alliance between nature and art"

THE Horse is ALWAYS HUNGRY

a good feeder, especially on jturney,
Is a great recommendation in the
opinion of every good Judge of horse
flesh. The reason of a horse being
such a constant eater is that it's
stomach is really small in proportion

it requires feeding often, not less than
four times day. two Of which should
be early in the morning and at night

A Public Mind Cure.

Harper's Magazine for November.
There never has been so fair an op-
portunity for the exercise Of the Mind
Cure as in this country in the last few
months. The disease has been real
in its disastrous effects, and yet in the
opinion OF all the financial and econo.
mic doctors it has not been organic.
The cotton has blossomed, the corn
has ripened, the wheat has matured,
and the pig has taken on its usual
amount oil adipose tissue. The wealth
er has not been worse than usual, the
public health has been as good as im-
perfect sewerage permits, clothing and
food have been extraordinarily cheap,
and, to descend TO particulars, the wa
termelon has never been bigger OF
sweeter. And yet in the midst OF
health and of plenty there has come a
paralysis in the body.politic. In the
opinion of the wise, nothing has been
the matter except want OF confidence,
though there is disagreement as to
what caused this mental infirmity.
The mind of the nation is alone re.
spOnsible for the disasters of the ma.
ton. II the mind is cured, business
will resume its accustomed channels
and the industries will revive. In
short, il we will stop thinking that
anything is wrong, nothing will be
wrong. 1t may be said that there are
not enough mind-curists, and conse-
quently there is not enough supply Of
mind to deal with such general want
OF confidence. But this is an evasion.
There are able mind-curists enough to
operate upon the few great business
centers, and if they are cured the work
is done. 1t must be that the mind
curists have not put forth their powers.
1t may be that the principles upon
which they act are thoroughly COM
pretended by few persons, but there
are number OF women who are suffi-
ciently adept for such a plain case as
this, and who collectively might have
exercised their influence. That they
neglected to do this is evident from
the fact that want of confidence con.
tinued. They cannot escape respon.
sibility by the excuse of lack of the
right sort OF material to operate on.
For surely there could not be a more
flexible and impressionable kind of
mind to operate on than the great
mass in this country that is able to be-
lieve that sixty cents are a dollar.
And, indeed, their field is still more
extensive, in the majority of a nation
that thinks it can long prosper by
cutting itself off from the vital cur.
rents and the commercial sympathy OF
the world in its persistence in the vio-
lation of the moral order by the de-
moralizing device of Legal Tender.
The people have been quick to follow
the bad example of the government.
And the mind-curists are inert.
