Easily sasl,aed.

At the Worlds fair it was amusing to note the diversity of objects which visit ors found the most interesting. One in- stance was that of an old couple, weary looking and bundle laden. who asked a guard where the Minnesota building could be found. He indicated the direc- tion.
 "Is it fur:'' asked the man.
 "Yes, about half mile from here. '
 ''Oh, dear! Well. come, Mary, we'll put her through now we're hcre," said the old man. shouldoring his heavy bum dle.
 But the woman was more garrulOus. She detained the guard long enough to explain that they lived in Minnesota I2 years and then moved to Ohio. Now they were going back tO Minnesota
 We was sOin through Chicago, so We jest stopped of two hours to see the fair. We d.n't k"sr much for fairs any way. All We want tO see Is the Minne- sota buildin. an we arc bound to see that if it takes half day"'-YOuth's 's Companion.

 Of Exccllencc-HowI It Is Applied.
 Gliding is very improving to badly marrcd chairs that arc bright and grace ful in design. When the woodwork of q chair is too much defacud to admit of its original surface remaining visible, il should be smoOthcd with sandpapar. and any bad indpntations neatly filled with putty, which should be carefully levclcd with the surrounding wood. Gliding should always be preceded by a coat of some light varnish of good qual ity that will dry nicely. Shellac varnish is excellent for this purpose. The object of this coat of varnish k to fill the pores of the wood and thus insure a smooth hard surface
 There arc many kinds of gliding, of various degrees of excellence and put up in different ways. Decorator and FurniShcr says: Perhaps the best is the variety that is sold in the form of a powder wrapped in papers, with an ac- cOmpanyins bottle of medium for mix ing This makes q very brilliant paint and is decidedly economical No moro of thc gliding should be mixed than will bc required for immediate appliCa- ton. aS it soun becomes lumpy and un- fit for use.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Fashions, Facts and an Idea About the Most Attractive Women For Wives.

Especial Corresl ondence.l
 NEW YORK, Nov. I3.-Cornflower blue, or .'bluet," is the latest fad in colors. Tt is mn indeflnahlo shade, neither blue nor purple, but n mixture of tho two It makes every woman over IS look sallow, but all those who aspire to be up to the times have touch of it somewhere about them. Thero are ''donkey's ears'' of bluettc velvet for the neck, rosettes to brighten mp a black hat and great bows to finish of tho tip of patent leather slipper. Neils of this new color are among tho latest novelties, and several enterpris- ing glovcmakcrs have redyed old gloves and are advertising n Parisinn novelty which Paris probably never saw. With all duo regard to fashion, n woman should be confident of the pcachy hue of her com plcxion before she adopts this latest wrin- klc.
 There is q modest fortune for the wom- an who invCnts some convenient and slightly arm covering to be worn with the tailor made suit. The suit consists of skirt, sleeveless vest and coat, leaving the arms with one less covering than customary. Some ingenious women have converted wornout stocking legs into arm cover ings.

 Miss Edison's late mother was the first wife of the inventor, and there is now a Mrs. Edison the second, who is not many years older than the daugh- ter. The second Mrs. Edison was Miss Nina Miller. daughter of Lewis Miller, the millionaire manufacturer of Akron, O., who founded Chautauqua and who is something of an inventor also. The Edison home is a palatial structure at Llewellyn Park, Orange. N. J., and near by is the inventors laboratory, where so many of his greatest invSn. tions first saw the light.

With Wife and Children Crew He Sails
 sixty-fiye Hundred Miles.

When the Viking ship was brought to America for exhibition at the Worlds fair, there was considerable of n sensa- ton over tho daring of the voyage. The Viking ship was 77 feet long and 16 feet beam and was manned by 12 ex- perienced sailors. The voyage was cer- tainly a wonderful one, but it was child's play when compared with the voyage of Captain Frederick Vehling in his I2 ton schooner, the Kussiloff, which is only 46 feet long and l2 feet beam,
 which was manned by Captain Vehling, his wife and seven children, the eldest of whom was II years of age. and which recently completed a successful cruise of 6, 800 miles, from San Francisco to the island of Guahan, in tho Ladrones.
 Years ago, when Vchling was n sailor on United States warship, he landed at Guahan and was so delighted with tho island that he decided to return some day and raise coffee. Years pass ed, and the responsibility of supporting wife and seven children came with

In 1899 Vchling created n sensation by appearing in San Francis co one day with his little schooner. which he had single handed sailed all tho way from Alaska by means of n small pocket compass and cheap clock that gained over two hours during tho 20 days trip.
 Vehling was born in North Germany 49 years ago, camc to this country in 1860 and served in tho United States navy during tho war. After the war he engaged in tho ice business in Honolulu and became possessed of about S25, 900, which he lost in the coal business in Alaska. Then the old longing for the Ladroncs-the Summer Isles of Eden" seized him, and he decided to sail there in the Kussiloff.

IspcciaI Corrcspondence.1


 CHEFU, China, Oct. I7.-I have c friend whose olfactory nerves arc so sen sitivo that hc can taste, smell and scent things afar of like n hound or n deer. He says that every race and nationality has its own distinct scent, which runs through nll its houses, institutions and belongings that the higher the race the finer and morc delicate its scent, and that of all the types of mankind tho Mongolian has the most pungent and rcpugnant cmanation. l am not blessed with such wonderful supcrscn- sitiveness, but I can bear him out in rc- gard to Chinese markets. They arc with cut exception the most malodoruus affairs on earth, tho city of Cologne, with it's 4C distinct stinks, not excepted. In the chol- era or plague season the market is always n center of contnEiOn. Even tho lucklcss rats who compete with two legged rivals for u scanty living Cumc out and dic frbm utter inability to stand the awful fumes and vapors of tho place.
 The First Principles.
 Tho principles of n Chinese market are very simple. First, it should bC located in the oldest, foulcst and most densely ropu- lated district in the city. second, it should have no drains. sewers, culvCrts or ccsspools. All drainage should run into the thoruughfarC or soak into the ground. Third, the walks and stalls should be of porous bricks or permeablc earth, so as to absorb any and all liquids liable to decay. Fourth, the stall and buildings should be as old and rotten ns possible Fifth, noth- ing in the nCiShborhood should bc washed, cleaned, repaired or improved.
 At the end Sf hundred years under these auspices n market assumes character istics unknown to Christendom. At the end of 10 or 20 years it requires no hand bill nor signboard. It can be distinctly smellcd n half mile away in any and every direction. Starving CUTS prick up their ears when 50 squares distant and break into n run for its rCdOlent avenues.
 A Chinese market opens carly and does most of its business long ECfOrn breakfast time. There are no ice and no cool sturc. rooms In the hot climate pcrishablc goods must bo sold quickly, If they arc to bC eaten or if the dealer Is tO mako any profit. Tho customers arc out as early as the shopkecpers and often struggle and fight for their goods before they arc un.
