The August number of this delight
full magazine is much larger than usual
containing $50 pages of reading mat
ter. Perhaps the "Story of WIDE
AWAKE" may be considered the leading
article of the number. 1t is graphic
account of the magazine, from it's very
beginning to the present time. A fine
frontispiece portrait of the late Daniel
Lothrop, the founder of WIDE AWAKE,
most fifty opens this farewell number.
Among the more notable stories and
articles may be mentioned GA Race fol
Life" by John Willis Hays, a thrilling
Indian tale; ",The North Chamber" by
Louisa r. Craigin, and ''The Thrilling
Story of Capt Noman," by Charles r.
Talbot; Concord Dramatics,'' by
George B. Bartlett, will interest all
lovers of Louisa Alcott's ''Little
Women" stories.
With this great Midsummer issue
WIDE AWAKE ceases to be q separate
publication, and bids farewell to its
thousands of readers.
This new departure is explained in
the article ''The Story of WIDE

have made arrangements to merge
WIDE AWAKE into ST. Nicholas.

seen the fair, but if he departs without
having turned his steps westward
through that wonderful avenue of mys-
teries and dropped in on the queer peo-
pie of all lands. he will find himself
sadly deficient in information when
his friends in his distant home inquire
about the sights of the Plaisance of
which they have read so much.
While embraced in the general plan
Of the fair and considered part and
parcel thereof. the enterprises Of the
Plaisance are private, and partakc
somewhat of the nature of side-shows.
Each one has fixed price of admission,
which of itself is but mere tritie, but
when once within the gates the cost Of
entering is apt to be largely increased
if a check is not placed upon ones up
petite for viands and drinks of all
kinds, and if this desire to possess the
curious and beautiful souvenirs on sale
is not promptly curbed.
The first thing that strikes the eye on
the left on entering the Plaisance from
the fair ground is the picturesque Blar-

and by public-spirited citizens of this
in the Plaisance, on the right-hand side
further west, which offers many fea-
lures of interest, but the one that has
the Blarney stone must, and very natu-
rally, attract the most attention.
A little further along the Plaisance,
on the right-hand side going west, there
is the Javanese village, of which so
much has been said and written. With
out going into detailed account of it's
many queer features, we can but say
that it is well worth the price asked to
pass through this strange community.
J'he people themselves are the greatest
curiosities Of this remarkable exhibit
Their houses, mode of living and many
curios from the land of the Malay offer
ample interest for an hours visit, but
when the visitor leaves their gates he
does SO with an impression that there
is a race that cannot well lay claim to
being anything like clean in their
habits.
A little further along are the Ger
man villages, "Old Vienna" on the left
and the German village proper on the
right, in either OF which there is much
to be seen and heard that will afford the
visitor profitable hours pause. Aside
from the beer and music, which are in
dispensable adjuncts to most all Ger
man entert ailments, there is much to
please and instruct in the various pro-
ductions of art and industrial skill.
The concerts in themselves are always
| a great attraction for lovers of martial
music, and great crowds of Germans are
constantly drawn to the daily concerts
in these villages.
In the immediate neighborhood of
the German villages are the Turkish
mosques and bazars in which are
faithfully portrayed the different
phases of life in the oriental Cities
| Regularly every day, at stated inter-
walls of about two hours, may be heard
the plaintive wall of the muezzin who
from his lofty perch on the mosque
calls his brethren to prayer.
Not a word of the invocation is dis
tinguishable; the chant is simply a
long, somewhat melodious and plain
lively quavering intonation. 1t would
not become professional muezzin to
chant otherwise. He continues on this
strain for several minutes - long

which compose the interesting Irish in

in the Midway Plaisance not operated

profits accrulng from this exhibit go

scraps of conversation relating to the
wonders of its many attractions. The
"Playzaunce" is upon every tongue,
and deplorable indeed is the condition
of the person who has not paid it u
visit and become acquainted with its
mosques, theaters, panoramas. villages,
etc. Even the ganin on the down
town street corner can direct you to
the several abodes of the Turks, jaw
anese. Dahomeyans or any of the
strange races. and he regards with a
commiserating air the poor unfor-
tunate frater who has not "done" the
whole blooming show" from one end
to the other.
The exposition proper must needs
first claim the attention of the visitor,
and until he has viewed the wonders

ings, and made himself familiar with
the multitudinous wonders of the arts,
manufactures and other departments,
Ee cannot conscientiously say he has
