Furnishing

While grave moral faults are often passed
over carelessly, a child is frequently very
severely dealt with for the tearing of q
dress, or the breaking of an ornament, or
any other fault that involves trouble or ex-
pense, even though the mischief may have
been Internationally done.
Shocking as the statement may sound, is
it not true that when the angry mother re-
licves her annoyance by furnishing the OBJ
ject of it she is really %revenging herself
upon it for the trouble it has caused? Ger
tainly it is very provoking to have beautiful
things broken and the work that has been
the result of much patient labor destroyed

A Spiders Clever Hinge.

The artistic work of spiders has at all
times attracted the interest of naturalis,s
and laymen alike. One of the most strik.
ing accomplishments in this line is the nest

der bores a tubelike hole about four or five
inches in the ground, which it lines with n
fine welt, soft as velvet. Over the ton IN.
little insect builds n lid of earth which, fl,
exactly over the somewhat slanting amer,
ture. The under side of the cover is also
padded with the downy weft in such a WAY
that II side of it is hinged to the lower

the two together.

with the web, but looks like the var,n

Signaling at NIGHT.

Mr.. Baden. Powell of the Scots guards
has, it is stated, devised a new method of
signaling by night with the aid of q paper
fire balloon of 6 or s feet in diameter.
When it is desired to send a message, some
beads made of a brilliant, quick burning
composition are strung on a piece of quick
match, leaving intervals and using large
and small beads to make the corresponding
flashes. The balloon is inflated by burning
spirit, or even straw or wood. The mes
sage string is then suspended below it, a
time fuse attached, and the balloon being
seut up the message is flashed forth. The
apparatus is described as very portable.
One man can easily carry it, and with it
not only can one ~preconcerted message be
flashed, but Il few words can be sent up at
one time, and those can be answered from
n similar balloon from another part, upon
which other balloons can be employed
to continue the signaling.-St. James Ga

FAIR SIDE SHOWS.
Special Attractions in the Mid.
way Plaisance.
WHAT Is TO BE SEEN THERE.

Queer People of the World and Pretty
Aberdeen's Irish Village - The Ferris
wheel-The P%laisanceF Full of Curicsities
and Wonderful Buildings.
WORLDS FAIR, May IL Especial -
The managers of the exposition discovered
very early that they would be compelled
10 find a place outside the grounds of the
fair proper for the many special attrac-
lions and curiosities which were pouring
in from the four quarters of the earth.
They decided to make the Midway plais-
hnce the gathering place Of all these novel
ties, and to permit the concessionaries to
has become a series of side-shows. 1t is
still an open question with many visitors
whether the principal circus. the exposi.
ton proper. or the side-show is most inter.
es,ing. For n who likes to look upon
the queer people of the world. their Pc
culiar costumes, customs and anluse-
ments, the plaisance is a favored spot. II
one likes to note the art with which our
innocent friends from the Orient and from
Africa extract the nimble quarter from
the pockets of Americans. he should pass
q day or WI along the single thorough.
fare boosted by the aggregation of side
shows. He will himself be called upon to
drop many a good dollar in the slot before
he has seen one-half the curiosities, but he
will have had fun enoughto repay him for
his outlay and his time.
AS yet the plaisance is rather back
ward. Only a few of its attractions are
entirely ready for the public. So far a
majority of the visitors to this motley
spot, this international alley, are men who
Ill a lark and whose curiosity has been
reused by tales of the dancing girls, houri
and all-world beauties to be found in the
various villages and halls. It is we'll to
say that the man who goes to the plais-
ance hoping to see something 'racy'' be-
cause improper or vulgar will be very
much disappointed. No such displays or
performances are to be found there. Pretty
women in large numbers there are, and
many OF them dance in the music halls,
but there is no phase of their efforts which
one would be unwilling to take his wife or
daughter to see. In truth. the dancing
girl show is rather tame in every way.
Much more interesting are the forty
young women who appear in what is gen
orally known as the international beauty
show. Technically the affair is called a
display of costumes, the scheme being to
show visitors the apparel worn by women
in all times and all countries. If the
women chosen to perform this graceful
task should chance to be pretty enough to
make their assembled beauty an exhibit
ton of the comeliness of the women of all
the world. all the stronger would be the
attraction. This clever scheme was worked
up by some young newspaper men, and

they visited Europe, Asia and Africa in
search of beauties and costumes. Their
efforts were successful. and they returned
to Chicago with a carload of women who
are really worth a days travel to see.
They are not only handsome women of
many races and types, but they are for the
most part modest and gracious: and apart
from any interest which attaches to their
persons, the costumes which they wear
make an exhibit worthy the study of man
or woman.
Though not intended as a beauty show
the Irish village presents an array Of win
some lassies who are already creating
somewhat of a sensation along the plais-
ance. Lady Aberdeen set up this village,
which is housed in a lath-and-plaster
model of the ancient Donegal castle, ia
nous in song and story. Her intention
was to promote the sale of Irish linens and
laces, and thus help in some measure the
isle. To add to the attractiveness of the
exhibit she brought over seveteen Irish
maidens who are as pretty as pictures, and
will smash the hearts of half the young
Irishmen in America before the summer
is over. These seventeen Irish lassies are
not only pretty and winsome, but they are
famous for their deft fingers and domestic
skill. Ellie Murphy is the crack lace
maker of Limerick. OF all the lace
makers that Limerick boasts Ellie Murphy
is conceded to be the first and fairest.
Local poets have sung her praises and Lon
don pictorials have printed her picture.
Kate Barry, Maria Connolly and Johannah
Dougherty come from the Munster dairy
school, and their business it is TO dole out
to visitors dainty pats of butter that
melts like. honey in the mouth. Besides
the butter and lace makers there are Irish
lassies who spin, embroider and knit and
others who sell blackthorn sticks, sham
rocks from the old dirt and various arti-
clcs carved out of bog oak. The Irish girls
live IN the castle, and several million
Americans will call to see them before the
summer Is cyoE
The Austrian village is likely to prove
one of the most attractive features of the
fair. Central figures among the many
quaint structures here, designed to show
life in Hungary and Bohemia, will be the
Tyrolcsc in their picturesque costumes
and forty-two Vienna coffee girls selected
for their beauty to serve customers in the
genuine Vienna cafes. The cafe girls of
Vienna are noted all over the world for
their personal charms. Several of them
have fascinated travelling counts and
barons and the Sons of rich Americans and

Setting Aside a Verdict,

The action of Judge Dunbar in setting
aside a verdict which he thought was un-

sided at the trial of a western case, in which
the title to Il poor mans farm was involved.
The jury were misled and rendered a YER
