What is the reason that Japan has

limited. Another reason lies in the ma

where else are parties formed TO visit
the blossom trees, and nowhere else
are pilgrimages simply for the snkc 81

therefore, its own interest, and men ia

Greek Stools and Chairs.

The stools or chairs seen on Greek
vases are in great variety, and as regards
time cover period Of many hundred
years. On some of them are figures seat
ed on blocks of stone or wood, but the
general form is that Of stools with or
without the feet Of animals, sometimes
having arms, but rarely backs. Some
times personages are seen on vases or on
statuettes seated on chairs, with backs
of moderate elevation, curved in the
form of the ruff worn by women in the
time of Queen Elizabeth, which were
probably considered thrones. A form
Of chair in common use among the Ro-
mans was that with curved arms, ia
miliar to all those who have seen upon
the stage the Roman plays Of Shake
speare.
Chairs or stools Of other forms were
also in use among the Romans, made
often within certain degree of art and
elegance and of costly materials. Sitting
at table the posture now considered the
most elegant and the most cleanly was
not practiced by them, the reclining at
titude corresponding more nearly with
their ideas of ease and luxury.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Ia su.as through the exposition one finds
himself more interested at first in noting
how tide various exhibits are installed than
ae Is in the exhibits themselves People
Nho attended tile Paris show four years
ago say the installation here is superior,
on the whole 10 that witnessed in the
French capital. Il has long been a tradi-
ION that American manufacturers and
arrchants do not know how to install ex-
Abits in great exposition This may
ave been true ycar, ago but every one
who has Kept h.~ eyes open must have
noticed the wonderful progress that has
pcen made in this country in the attrac-
live arrangement Of show windows Even
IN the smaller cities and towns you will
see shop windows IN which both taste and
originality have been expended upon the
displays In the larger cities there are
professional showwindow experts Who,
through the process Of the keen competi-
tion. have brought the general standard
very much higher than il ever was before.
The foreign shops cannot Vie with ours in
the beauty or interest Of their street
shows
Wei, this exposition is simply an inter
national show window on a tremendous
scale It j. series Of fronts" in which
all the world has displayed its best in the
most attractive manner possible; and it
may lie said in truth that Americans do
not suffer in the comparison. 1t Is in the
main building that the displays are more
pretentions than anywhere else. Here the
most money has been expended in pavil-
ions and ornameatation. At first glance
the visitor i disappointed in the Amer
lean part Of the show. As he approaches
the center of the monster enclosure-where
the clock tower ishe finds three lines Of
grandeur and beauty, and one which
starts ont imposingly but soon dwindles
into comparative iusigniflcance. The
three beautiful lines are those aisles or
avenues which are fianked by the foreign
exhibits while the last is the right side Of
the north avenue, where the American ex-
hibitors are.
Before passing Judgment one must stop
TO consider that the immense pavilions
which adoru the foreign sections were
erected by the governments Of the exhibit
ing countries Each Of these governments
has taken the space allotted to IL, erected
a costly facade and extensive structure,
and then suhdivided the space among
firms or institutions which in turn have
added their contributions to the general
effect Thus the German government has
spent probably n quarter Of million Of
dollars in the construction Of their noble
pavilion. 1t is very rich and imposing,
and is of itself an exposition building Of
great size and rare beauty. The French
government has expended, on the opposite
