the United States made its appearance at

days old it measured nine inches from the

twenty-one inches high and weighed but
twenty-seven and one-half pounds. 1t
was of Shetland breed.
The botanical garden at Washington
contains many trees started in life by en-
inent men. Among them is an overcup
oak plantep by John o. Crittenden in 1861,
Senators Hoar and Evarts planted seeds
in 1889 and 1890, from which sprung res
pectlvely two Lebanon cedars; Actor Ed
win Forrest transplanted two rare cy-
presses from Philadelphia in 1866; a fine
specimen of the masonic cassia was plant
ed in 1882 by the late General Albert
Pike, then chief of the Scottish order of
Masons; Senators Morrill,, of Maine and

One of the great features of the Cot
ton States and International Exposition
will be the electric fountain, authorized at
a meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Exposition Company. The fountain
will be designed by Mr.. Luther Steringer,
who designed the electric fountain at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, and who
is one of the foremost electrical engineers
in the world. 1t is proposed to have the
fountain rise from the middle of the grand
basin, in front of the Machinery and For
estry buildings. From this point it will
be visible all over the Exposition grounds,
and the effect produced by columns of
water with infinite variety of color and
brilliance will be exceedingly beautiful.

WEAK, TIRED, NERVOUS,

Means impure blood and overwork or too
much strain on brain and body. The on
ly way to cure is to feed the nerves on
pure blood. Thousands of people certi-
fly that the best blood purifier, the best
nerve tonic and strength builder is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What it has done for 9th
ers it will also do for you-Hoods Cures.
Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of ap-
petite and general debility all disappear
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleer,
strong body, sharp appetite, and in
word, health and happiness follow the use
of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The strong point about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is that they are permanent, because
they start from the solid foundation of
purified vitaliZed and enriched blood.

still we have no good public bread Poor
men cannot be fed with such bread, and so
they wash it down with spirits -. We
have the widest wheat fields on the globe,
but we are not able to give the multitude

Is it not almost time to swing back to the

gence of the community, and secured
against the greed of competition? There
is not wanted free bread to deprave the

In direct line with the preceding topic is
the wall from Sherry the Sherry, who de-
clarcs that we are ourselves to blame for
the poor restaurants of the United States
Worldwide travellers declare Delmonico's s
to be the best all-around restaurant in the
world. But for the rest, the price which
in Europe buys good and well-served food
in this country gives only bad or indiffer-
ent food poorly served. Sherry insists
that there are not enough people who ap-
preciate good food or good service, and
who. from this fact can create and support
a supply Of good restaurants. The poor
est French workman is better Judge of
food than many Americans whose lunch
bills for a week would keep him in food
for IA month. Jacques in his blue cotton
blouse knows just what his money ought
to buy in the way of quality and quantity,
and Just what sort of service he is entitled
to as a patron of Il place that caters to the
public and is dependent upon the public
for Il living. He gets the best his money
earns for him. If he does not, he makes Il
fuss about it, and keeps up the fuss until
he gets what he should have" We may
comfort ourselves by noting that both
Sherry and DelmonicO comment on the
rapid and very marked increase among
Americans of knowledge about food and
the best way of serving it. In short, we
taurant will fall into line with the rest,
and give us eatable food.
A new club has been formed designed to

women who have spent necessary car fare,

example of a Syracuse club that has divid-

all those who can do different kinds of
work and the conditions under which it
can be done. These things they have print
