ing the continuance of the exposition. At first blush it may not occur to you, reader, that this is very important sign of public interest, but it is, since noth- ing but continuous talking of the com ing Atlanta show by the people all along the line conld induce tho tent showmen to travel i'll such numbers toward this one point.
 There is now every reason to conclude that the Atlanta exposition will be a really great affair. In the first place, it will represent the investment of consid- erably more than &, 900, ,0OO,, and this vast sum is being laid out most iudici- Ously and with such economy, if the term may be used, as to produce the very best and most striking results. It is hoped by the Atlantans themselves that their show will be larger and supe- rlor ill every way to any previous expo sitiOn ever held ill tho United States, barring only the Worlds fairs at Phila- delphia and Chicago. Certainly those ill charge have bent all their energies to- ward producing this laudablo result, and the popular interest ill tho project is well indexcd by the fact that every Sun day people visit the grounds in such large numbers to inspect the work and comment upon the progress made that the trolley cars are crowded beyond all precedent This weekly visit to tho ex- positions site has now become so gen eral that most other Sunday resorts of Atlanta are practically deserted, greatly to the discontinue of their proprietors.
 Tho selection of the Piedmont Driv- ing park as the site of the exposition was undoubtedly an exceedingly wise move, since the driving park grounds are spacious, accessible and of great nat ural beauty. To this latter feature the exposition authorities arc adding mate rlally by laying out driveways, creating artificial sheets of water and plant ing many ornamental shrubs and trees. The buildings, ;ls is plainly diSccrlible even now, will be of a most impressive and really satisfactory character. Tho gates will open on Sept. IS and remain open for 90 days. An average daily at . tendance of 15, 900 at 90 cents admission fee will hardly pay all the cost, but all attendance Of 17,00O will leave a mar gin, and of course every effort will be made to bring 1t up to those figures
 The railroads ccntCrinS at Atlanta arc doing all i'll their power to assist ill this. Only one of them, hUwcvCr-the South ern, with its thousands of miles of track extending all through the south-will be allowed the privilege of entering the grounds with its tracks. But all the great railroads have agreed upon uni form fare of 1 cent a mile, and besides tho steamship lines along the Atlantic coast have mado special concessions, and tho Pacific Mail and Steamship company has agreed to transport the exhibits of Central and South America from and to all points reached by its lines and to make reductions ill fares to government officials and others who desire to visit the fair
 At present tho energies of the mana gers are centering upon the buildings The driving club house is at the west

A Correct (saupc.

Adam Smith, tho noted Scotch author and professor, ill delivering his lectures, trusted almost wholly to his power of ready speech. His manner was plain and unaffected, and as he seemed to be all ways interested ill tho subject ho noycr failed to intpreSt his hearers. His hi ograPher says:
 One little peculiarity ill his manner of featuring was mentioned to tho late Archdeacon Sinclair by Archibald Ali son, the elder, apparently as Alison heard it from Smiths own lips.
 He used to acknowledge that ill lec- turing he was more dependent than most professors on tho sympathy of his hear CTS, and he would sometimes select one of his students who had moro mobile and expressive features than tho rest as 'unsuspecting gauge of the extent to which he carried with him tho intelli- gence and interest of tho class.

 To the energy, enthusiasm and genius of MT. Charles A. Collier, president and director general, the Atlanta exposition of 1895 will, more than to any other man, owe its success. He was born in Atlanta 47 years ago, played as boy ill vacant fields now covered with state ly business structures, handsome resi- dences and busy public buildings; passed his youth amid the scenes of the civil war; took the collegiate training afford ed by the University of Georgia, and was admitted to the bar i'll 1871. After some years of devotion to the legal pro- fesslOn he entered mercantile life, and his success ill this and the field of finan- ciering has been notable. He was the prOjector of the first Piedmont exposi- tion, and it was very largely to his ef- forts that its remarkable success was due. But 104 days were left after the enterprise was agreed upon before the fair Was to open, but so rapid and sure were tho operations directed by Mir. Collier that everything was ready when the gates were opened, and the enterprise proved a winner from the first day to the last, completely performing the functions for which it was organized viz, exploiting throughout the country the enterprise of Atlanta and the re- sources of the south.
 The Atlanta exposition of 1895 will havo Midway plaisance, " though it will not be called by that name. It will be conveniently located upon beauti- full terrace, and its attractions, it is ex- pectcd, will be as diversified as were those of the Midway plaisance of the Chicago show. Various titles have been suggested, among them Dixie terrace, Midway terrace, etc. There will also be Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Swiss and other villages, and, ill fact, about every sort of attraction that the mind of man can invent and the energy and enthusiasm of President Collier can se- cure.

Frying Fish In Olive Oil.

The art of frying fish in olive oil was imparted to western nations by the Jews. They found i'll the Italians and French receptive pupils, but ill the English they encountered an obstinate allegiance to lard. which has never wavered ill favor of any other medium. As our culinary traditions are deprived largely from the English, lard or the fat of salt pork for frying is almost universally used in the United States. The New York Sun, which calls attention to the foregoing, explains that the superior merit of oil ill this form of cooking is found In it's limpidity and freedom from foreign matters. Moreover, the results obtained are more certain. The Jews excel in fry ing as much on account of the minute attention which they give to the prepa- ration of the fish before placing them in the boiling oil as from the use of that medium.

 "I don't see what there is funny about that ''
 "Why, the servant told him I'd gone down town intending to go to his office, and he said it made him laugh to think how mad I'd be when I found he had gone home. So he had just sat there and chuckled all the time until came home"

HAS TO CHASE HIS BRIDE.

Curious Wedding Custom Which Obtains
Among tho Tribes of Arabia.
Among the Arabs a curious wedding
custom prevails. After various cere-
monies the bridegroom is led in the
evening into a large, dimly lighted
room. Here, huddled on the floor or
one side, he finds the female relatives
and friends of the bride, all of the
same height and size, all wearing pre-
cisely similar clothing, and closely
yelled. One of these is the bride, and
he has to find out which it is. If he
has been wise he has bribed some of
the spectators to give him a sign to
guide him, but if not he attempts to
seize the yelled figure whom he sus-
poets to be his bride. If possible she
slips from his grasp and runs away,
with him in hot pursuit.
An exciting chase follows, until he
succeeds in catching her, when he
tears the veil from her face. If it turns
out that he has chosen correctly, and
that she is the bride, the game is end
ed; but if not he must try again, after
the captured girl has had time to
arrange her dress and take her place
among the others. Again he makes a
selection, and after another chase, pos
sibly finds that he has the wrong girl
once more. Many hours r consumed
in this way, and it is often daylight
before the unlucky bridegroom se-
cures his bride.-N. Y. Advertiser.
