recreation. It Is safe to say that no
worlds fair in all the history of ma
tions has ever been so fully given over
to the people as is this of our Column
bian year.
The daily attendance has reached
an average of nearly two hundred
thousand and there is a promise of a
large increase during the remaining
two months of the fair. A payment of
ten per cent on the bonds has just
been ordered and it begins to look as
though there would be some profit in
worlds fair stock in spite of the opin-
ion of certain knowing ones to the con-
trary. Retrenchment has been the
order in the management of late and
many large salaries have been reduced
or entirely cut off, and in other ways
the expenses have been reduced, all of
which goes to show that our great ex-
position is in fair way to prove q
financial success.
The history of the Sunday closing at
the worlds fair has been interesting
and highly amusing. First the Of
fcials declared. in private session, that
the gates must be opened on Sunday
because they could not afford to waste
the day." and in public they pleaded
the cause of the poor workingman, who
had no other day to come to the fair.
Religious exercises were arranged
within the grounds and the gates
opened, but somehow the Chicago
workingman did not realize his advan-
tages. or found that day of sight
seeing was the poorest possible prep
aration for q week of toll He Hid not
need the Bible to counsel day of rest
Experience became an individual and
potent teacher. The small CROWDS that
did come ON Sunday were far more
likely to make their way to the theaters,
dancing halls and beer gardens of the
Plaisance, than to the Art gallery or
Horticultural hall, and few appre-
ciate the advantage of paying fifty
cents to 60 to church on the fair
grounds when far more attractive
preaching is offered free of cost out
side the gates. The majority of state
buildings, all the exhibits of Great
Britain and her colonies and hundreds
of others were closed on Sunday, and
the attendance slowly diminished.
Then the authorities discovered that
the poor workinRman" inside the
grounds needed day of rest and. on
account of this and other deductions,
decided to close the great gsteA

SUPPORT FOR TREES.

A Device Which Can Re Made to Save
Lots of Fruit.
Raspberry and other berry bearing
bushes often set and mature more
fruit than the stalks can support, and,
consequently, are SO loaded as to rest
upon the ground, injuring the fruit If
not breaking the stalk. The same
trouble occurs in fruit trees with
spreading branches. This can be
remedied by mailing together two
strips of lath within six inches of one
end. with a single round steel nail. and
clinching just tightly enough that the
laths may be opened or closed for stor-
ing away. The manner of using them
