Chicago and the Worlds Fair Pal
aces.

Four cities competed for the placs
of host to the world, and Chicago was
chosen by Congress. And that young
city viii be its own proudest exhibit.
So long rs America was cOloniZed ter
ritory, it could have little to show in
glory of its discovcrer. But when, in
l776, our young nation cut her lead
ing-strings, crying to the world, 'See
| can walk alone!" the glory of Column
bus was begun. The history OF Chi
cago covers hardly more than the Pc
riod of our existence rs q nation.
Some humorist said, "The first white
man to settle on the site of Chicago
was black man" His most ingen-
ious paradox refers to an escaped slave
from San Domingo who traded there
with the Indians in 1119; and Corn
wallis did not surrender until 17Sf-
and he wouldn't have yielded then if
Washington had not insisted upon it.
In 1908, on the Fourth of July, a
United States sloop came to establish
Fort Dearborn on the Chicago River.
The Indians did not like this, as we
learn from the american Gazetteer"
for 1904, under the entry: Isee Chi
cago river Appendixl." The appendix
tells how the government of the United
States, "having lately determined TO
erect a fort ut Chicago" the officer in
spite of the Indian threats declared that
he was sent TO build fort, and would
proceed on with the design" In 1912,
the Indians killed most of the garrison
while they were trying TO escape to
Fort Wayne. but survivor, John
kinzic, afterward returned and be-
came the first real settler. The fort
being rebuilt in 1916, village was be-
gun near its walls but the city was
not incorporated until 1637-the very
year Queen Victoria came to the
throne.
Now, fifty-siX years later, Chicago
has / 400, 600 inhabitants, and invites
the nations to ride to the top of build
ings twenty stories high that they
may get an idea of the second great
city of the western world.
What can the great Fair show that
is 4 better proof of American pluck.
capacity, and achievement? Nor need
we mention the great fire at all, so en-
theiy have its raya9es been healed.
On the anniversary of the discovery,
the exhibition was formally dedicated
in the largest building; and more than
hundred thousand people felt lonely
in the fOrty-four acres of floor space.
Bat, in accordance with the act Of
Congress. the actual opening will take
place on the first of May, 1S95-an e1=
cellcnt day to be called early if you
are present. The President of the
United States, perhaps with the cleo
trio assistance by cable of King AL
fonso, Spain's boy-king, will set the
great engines in motion by the touch
ing of a knob.-St, Nicholas.

CoIorado's Tonic Atmosphere.

One very noticeable peculiarity of
the people was their habit of speaking
of the East as home" s"At home in
the East we call that Virginia-creep-
er," said one. Il 90 home TO New
York every few months" said another.
I'VE long to 90 back East to our
homes. but when we get there the eli
mate does not agree with us. and We
hurry back 10 Colorado" Thus was
revealed the peculiar tenure the place
has upon thousands of its citizens.
But among them are many who say
that it is customary for Eastern folks
to let their regard for the East keep
warm until the moment comes when
they seriously consider the idea OF
leaving Colorado. At that Juncture
they realize for the first time the magic
of the mountain air and the hold 1t has
upon them. Few indeed ever serious
ly think Of leaving it after one such
consultation with themselves. But
must say it is a very queer air II

his family have been i'll, and he has

VASSh GIRLS.
They Made Life Burden for "a Certain
Traveller.

"Oh, did you ever meet the coy and
retiring Eassar girl?" asked a visitor
at the Russell house recently. says the
Detroit Free Press. Il did. 1t was on
the occasion of Il recent visit to New
York. will never forget it. | got on
the train at Detroit and bought my
berth in the sleeper. When ! entered
the coach | noticed that it was crowd
ed with young ladies. Every seat was
taken. Such beyy of misses no one
ever saw together before. There were
pretty and llomely girls, blondes and
brunettes, blue-eyed and black-eyed,
and all the other colors, tall and short
fat and lean-but in the main all de-
cidedIy attractive. | regarded them
with amaZement and asked the con-
ductor where in the world they all
came from. He replied that the term
had begun at Nassar and these young
ladies represented the pupils from
Chicago and Detroit who were going
10 school. | felt mighty lonesome in
that coach with all those young ladies,
for there was not another man in the
car.
well, the train started and | settled
back and tried TO read, but all the
while felt that several pairs of bright
eyes were fixed upon me from time to
time. Then | heard q snicker, and it
proved contagious, for soon all the
girls in the coach began TO snicker.
Somehow felt that they were laugh
ing at me, and, by and by, / heard a
soft voice say TO some one: Doesn't
he think it too cute for anything?
Then they snickered again. Finally
another voice said: i don't think it's
half as nice as my Charles. You just
they were laughing at my mustache.

point, as most men are, and, when the
little witches snickcrcd louder than
ever, | got up and strolled into the
next coach. To my CONSERVATION

other. In fact every coach on the long
train was crowded with Vassar girls.
But seated myself in a corner where

they were discussing the color of my

seat, said, raising my head: you can
see for yourselves, ladies, they are a
cross between blue and gray. with a

shrieked and the others either colored
up or snickered. ThenI arose and
tried my luck in the next coach. Talk

GYMNASTICS FOR THE LUNGS.
Artificial breathing Which May Benefit
Health and Prolung Life.

Air is to the lungs what food is to
the stomach. Its Importance may be
Judged from the fact that healthy
human being requires siNty-six gallons
of air per hour. The lungs consists of
1900, ,000.000 lung cells, which, if they
were spread out, would cover 200
square meters. This proves the use
fulness of the lungs. We must breathe,
and if we do not instinctivcly under
stand how to dc it properly we should
learn. Hence lung gymnastics. But
few breathe properly, according to the
\. Y Weekly. Look ut the children
over their lessons or the accountant
over his books. Can YOU hear them
breathe? Nay, they 90 it SO feebly
that it does not affect their position or
countenance. 10 breathe correctly is
an art, and must he learned. though
nature ought TO have given every one
the faculty. In the first place it Is
wrong TO draw the breath through the
mouth. The nose is the natural ave
nue. to the lungs. In the nose are
provided cavities III which the air IS
warmed before it comes to the lungs.
The nose also contains eXcrctions which
absorbs the impurities OF the Hr. We
ali commita great fault by not breath
inc with force. To understand what
true forceful breath is, bare the
breast and look into your glass. The
ordinary breathing scarcely moves the
chest; but hold the breath for an in
stant before it is blown out and you
will see the chest move. This Is right.
| We must breathe so forcefullr that
the chest moves up and down, OF Wis
| IDLY expands and contracts.
"Artiiicial breathing consists in fore
ing the air in and out of the lungs so
strongly that the chest yisibly eX.
pands and contracts. To learn 10
practice that it is we'll in the begin
ming to stand up straight against a
wall. for instance, placing the heels to-

breath the air comes to act on the
whole surface of the blood, nourishine
it and removing the impure gases
The lungs must be perfectly emptied
before being refilled, and that car
only be done by forceful breathing
When we make those experiments the
body must not be tied down by close
fitting garments, bonds or an ever
loaded stomach. The best time is il
the morning and before meals. The
exercise should always be taken in free
fresh and pure air. or at least before
an open window. Five minutes cXer
else every day will do wonders for

Tho Training of Girls.

The foundation of society rests on
its homes. The success of our homes
rests on the wives. Therefore, first of
all, teach our girls how to be success
full wives. Begin in their infancy to
develop their characters. Teach them
that jealousy is an immortality, and
gossip vice. Train them to keep the
smallest promise as sacredly as an
oath, and to speak of people only as
they would speak to them. Teach
them to look for the best quality in
everyone they meet, and to notice
other peoples faults only to avoid
them. Train them to do small things
we'll and to delight in helping others,
and instill constantly into their minds
the necessity for sacrifice for Others
pleasure as q means Of soul develop
ment. Once given firm foundation
of character like this, which tho poor
est as we'll as the richest can give to
their girls, and no matter what neces-
sity arises, they will be able to rise
above t.-Womankind.
