SEEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Especial correspondence to the HERALD
After two or three days, every possible
moment OF which has been consCientiously
spent in porting over exhibits, the visitor
at the Columbian Exposition comes to a
point when his one desire is for a place to
sit down where he can think over and
assimilatc what he has seen, or even for
get it for a time. There is no better
place i'll which to crafty this desire than
the Court of Honor, in front OF the
Administration Building where, between
3 and 6 O'Clock, one may hear the best of
band music and pursue that most fasci-
mating OF amuscments-the study of poo
pie. The Court of Honor is often likcncd
to Fairyland, but this illusion vanishes
the instant the people who throng the
boulcvards are considered torinno Fairy
land ever dreamed of was there such
cosmopolitan crowd or one so unconvcn-
tional. Comfort and good time are the
Xatchwords, SO gloves, wells and linen
collars disappear; umbrellas supplant
parasols, which seem insufficient under
this burning sun; colored glasses adorn
every nose, notwit outstanding the fact
that they make the face perfectly ex-
pressionlcss; women make themselves
comfortable in short, dark skirts and
thin waists; while men rcvcl i'll flannel
shirts, blazers, and broad brimmcd straw
q hats, exactly like those worn by their
sisters except for the inevitable string
which takes the place of the feminine hat
pins and is quite az eiiicacious. Thelunch
basket is universal and ranges from the
market basket which provides dinner
and supper for the entire family, to the
small pasteboard box provided for those
who must have their lunch put up at a

merits of her case, been more favorably
regarded by the public, and the popu-
lar sentiment toward her is shown in
the demonstrations made by the stu
dents Of Belgrade at the time she
was ordered to leave the coun-
try. She is pro- Russian in her sym

may be mainly attributed, for the min

The married life of Milan and Natalie
was an unhappy one almost from the

pettiness and deceit. The granting of

ologist. It is native to the fresh waters
Of Cochin China. Farther India. java,
Sumatra and Borneo. Specimens have
been known TO attain @ length OF six
feet and weight of one hundred and ten
pounds. The flesh is SO delicious that
efforts have been made 10 acclimatiZe

but thus far these attempts have been
successful only on the island of Mau-
ritius.
About thirty of them wee imported
into the island of Cuba and planted III
ponds some years ago, but although
they grew and were healthy they did
not breed. Accordingly, alter awhile

King aroused all the pugnacity in the
Queens disposition. She appealed to
the higher ecclesiastical authorities, but
without avail, for civil Influences we're
at work to bring about the separation.
She succeeded, however, in making the
King 80 odious that his own expulsion
came about as matter of course.
Natalie has strong but not beauti-
iul face, and is now entering upon that
period OF life when Women's waists
may be expected to lose their trimness.
She had her own ideas of her duty as
queen consort and mother OF the king,
ard the lads affection for her was suf-
hcient to cause the ministers to fear the
results should she be permitted to re-
main near him. 1t was therefore to be
expected that she should be sent be-
yOnd the borders, as was done last
month.

Winnipeg, but two Kinks must yet play
for it, those of Dunbar and Frazer.
They will settle the matter between
them at Winnipeg next week.
The final contest for the George Hall

Longest Swim on Record.

The longest SWIM ever made W1thOu5
the aid of artificial help, such as life
preservers, life suits, etc., was made
by Samuel Brock, a Yarmouth Eng
land) beachman, the night of Oct. IA,
1885, says the st. Louis Republic. On
the afternoon Of the 18th Brock had
noticed a ship at sea signaling for q
pilot. He, in company with nine other
seamen, started for the vessel in tho
yawl Increase. At 4 o'clock they came
up alongside the ship, which proved to
be the Spanish brig Paquette de Bilboa.
A pilot and three beachmen were put
on board and the Increase then headed
for shore, which was twelve miles dis
tant. At $50 o'clock, when the nearest
land was six miles off, sQuall sunk
the Increase and drowned ali on board
except Brock. From the way that
tiood-tide was boating Off shore it be-
came evident to the man in the water
that if he ever did manage to reach the
land alive he would have to swim about
fifteen miles in q roundabout way. a
swell sea drove him out over CrosS-sand
ridge before the o'clock bell tolled at
St. Nicholas gate, and it was long
two hours and half later before tho
nearly exhausted swimmer caught sight
of the bell and light buoys themselves.
It was now nearly midnight, and Brock
had been in the chilly water about five
hours. Within the next hour he sighted
q vessel at anchor, and by an almost
superhuman effort managed to get
within about two hundred yards, when
he hailed the lookout. 4 boat was i'm
mediately lowered, and the half-drowned
man taken on board. The vessel proved
to be the Betsy, of Sunderland, and her
op II, ol>@
three quarter miles from where the In
crease capsized. Thus it was proved
that Brock had made the remarkable
distance of nearly seventeen miles in
seven and half hours on that chilly
October night.
why He Remained East.
New England is, in proportion to it's
population, the richest part of the
United States. From Maine to Connec-
ticut the country is dotted with savings
banks, and the bulk of the vast insu-
rance wealth Of the Union is owned
there. Tom Reed tells story of Ne
braska farmer who, travelling through
Maine, happened to stop at little
house hanging from the side OF q rocky
hill, which constituted the farm. Dur
ing his stay he made many cutting crit
icisms upon the character of the soil,
and asked the farmer why he did not go

that you could thrust your arm into it
up to your shoulders, and pull from the
