Admission Tickets For the Worlds Fair.

Admission Tickets For the Worlds Fair.
For week the bank note factories at
Dalton, Mass, have been making pecu-
harly distinctive paper that is to be used
for tickets of admission to the Worlds
fair. The first order, which was for
5000 600 tickets, has been shipped to New
York so that the American Bank Note
company may have time for the elabo-
rate engraving on the ticket. 1t is ex-
pected that many will be sold as SOU
venirs. To guard against counterfeits it
has been decided that between the sheets
of paper Of which the card is composed
there shall be scattered planchets of It's
sue paper. These planchets are of differ
ent sizes, the largest as big as pin head.
They are of three colors blue, pink and
salmon the shades being plainly dis
cernible through the thin paper on both
sides. The planchets are net scattered
all over the card, but simply in row less
than an inch wide across from top to
bottom The tissue cut in these little
disks is expensive, and considerable will
be saved by using them only in the cen
ter of the ticket. The chief reason for
placing them in this way is the increased
difficulty in counterfeting.
The size of the tickets will be p by Al
inches

What can have induced Mr.. W. W
Astor to buy the Liberal Pail Mall Ga
Zette in order to convert it into a
Unionist organ? This seems to me to be
as strange as it would be for the Duke
of Westminster OF some such English
magnate to buy up an antiadministra-
ton newspaper ct Washington in order
to change it into an administration or
gan. What would the Americans say if
this were done? Would there not be
somewhat of an cutlery and would it
not be suggested to the duke that, if he
wished to engage in politics, it might be
well if he We're to confne himself to
those Of his own country? If Mr. W.
w. Astor intended to naturalize himself
as an Englishman, | could understand
the purchase. This, however, is improb-
able, for his property mainly consists of
land and houses in New York, where no
alien can hold real estate. London

The Disadvantages of Seeing.

To get really good education one must
be unfortunate in some way. Those who
ever saw the graduating ceremonies of the
Perkins Institution of the Blind and OBJ
served how solid and thoughtful the young
men and women were, and at the same
time reflected that the students had a
great obstacle to overcome in gaining an
education, must have wondered whether,
after all, it is SO great misfortune to be
blind. Seeing somehow dissipates the in
telligence. No curiosity SO idle as the Gu
riosity of the eyes. To see is SO delightful
thing that during a great part of our life
we see not for the sake of knowing, but
for the sake of seeing And the seeing of
a thing being past and gone we think no
more about it or know nothing about it.
The blind person, being under no neces-
sity to satisfy this curiosity of the eyes,
has much time to study in his own way
and then to reflect deeply and clinch his
hold upon the things he has learned. There
are many of us in the seeing world who
live almost wholly upon what we Sec
who are susceptible to beauty in things
seen that our minds must be occupied
with it long after we have seen it, and Of
ten when no doubt we should be learning
or thinking to some useful purpose we
are merely bringing back to our minds
eyes the things that our bodily eyes have
seen. Nor are these things always alto
gether good for the development Of the
mind and the soul. If, for part Of the
time, we could go through the world with
closed eyes, and even feel cur way about
the streets with stick, it might be better
for our lntelIects.--Boston Transcript,

Dwarfs In Russia.

In the time Of Peter there were no great
writer's or artists among the Russians, but
court testers and dwarfs We're highly es-
teemed. Learning did not count for much
except among the clergy, but the great
empire, we are told, was remarkable for
her fools" of high degree, fore princes
were proud to hold the office.
AS for dwarfs, the country was really
alive with them. One old author says
there was scarcely nobleman in the land
who did not possess one or more of these
sfrisks'' of nature. At almost all state
dinners, if these pygmies were fortunate
enough to escape being served in pie it
was their duty to stand behind their lord IS
chair holding his snuffbox or awaiting his
command. They were usually gayly dress
ed in q uniform or livery Of very costly
materials.
In 1908 Prince Menshikof sent to his
wife in Russia two dwarfs whom he had
made prisoners of war in Poland. Ac-
companying the gift were the following
lines: II send you present of two girls,
one of whom is very small and can serve
as parrot. She is more talkative than is
usual among such little people and can
make you much gayer than if she was a
real parrot. y
One of these dwarfs was still living in
1894. After the disgrace of her noble mas
ter she came under the care of the Prin-
cess of Hesse- Homburg, and when she
died General Betskoy, the princess heir,
took the dwarf as part of his Inheritance.
Nearly a century old, she was still brisk
and lively, with a babyish voice when she
cried, as she often did at the recollection
of her ancient court dress, which she had
priced exceedingly. Except when looking
at her face to face one would think her
to be child 5 OF years old.-St. Mich
olas.

$50 BLUE THINE EYE"

So blue thine eye that when smile
Beams tenderly on me
"Tis like the radiant light Of dawn
Reflected in the sea.
So blue thine eye that when tear
Doth dim it's azure hue
seem to see a violet
Bathed in the morning dew.
So blue thine eye that when therein
Loves happy dream doth lie
A vanished star comes back and shines
Within the evening sky!
