 BACK ONE THOUSAND YEARS BudapeSt'S Exposition Will Re-
 veal Strange Relics. ARCHITECTURAL DISPLAY All the Changes in the Social, Martial, Reli- gous and Political Ways of the Peo-
 ole Will Be Represented.

It Is not an every day occurrence for a nation to have millennal anniversary exposition, but that is what the people of Hungary will celebrate at Budapest on May next. Just 1000 years ago, in the year S96, the great Prince Arfad founded the country by invading it.
 What the country was 1000 years ago and what it was at each epoch of its growth and progression during all of the centuries up to the present time will be faithfully portrayed. Naturally the ex- rosition will be largely of an historical character, and in this respect it promises to be the finest and most complete thing of it's kind that the world has ever seen, as the monarchs of all the European na- tlons will throw open the doors of their treasure vaults and send to the exposition the historical relics of the past ages. Thus there will be concentration in one small space of the priceless treasures of antiquity which many tourists have made the circle of Europe to see.
 The exposition will be divided into two huge departments, one being called the historical section and the other the mod ern times section. The first describes it. self In the second will be shown the moral and intellectual progress of the Hungarian people. The army and navy and all the other departments of the gov ernment will exhibit their resources, and
Birmingham state herald., 1896-04-26

the life of the remote villages will be graphically reproduced. All branches of commerce and industry will make an ex- position of their resources to show the nations recent progress.
 Many Royal Exhibitors.
 The Austrians are naturally taking as much interest in the exposition as the Hungarians, as the history and progress of the one are closely allied with the other. The Emperor Francis Joseph has taken lively interest in the matter, and he will be the chief exhibitor in the his torical section. Emperor William of Germany will also be an extensive eX- hibitor, as the reigning Austrian family is descended from Count Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was elected emperor of Germany in 1276.
 There are scores of archdukes in Aus tria and Hungary, and all of them have arranged to take some part in the expo sition. Many of them have had separate pavilions erected in the exhibition grounds for the display of their treas- ures, the most handsome of these struct- ures being the pavilion of the Archduke Joseph.
 To those interested in the way the war riors of old carried on their warfare the exposition will have a peculiar interest. Armor and other implements of warfare used by the brave Magyars who com prised the army of the invading Prince Arfad, when he defeated Zvatopluk, king of the slavs. will be shown.
 Later on Arfad, whose fame as war rior made his will the law even outside of his own domain, purchased vast areas of land, the nominal price paid being sev en white stallions All the stallions in the worthwhile, brown. black. and of every other color-would not buy one hundredth part of that territory today.
 The Northern Invaders.
 It will be graphically shown how the hardy northmen of Europe oyerran Italy, Spain Hungary, Austria and the best of southern Europe in the middle ages, con- quering principalities. humiliating the nobles, levying tribute right and left and tearing the whole country wide open with the ravages of mercenary warfare.
 An historical fact of considerable inter- est is that the exposition will be held on the same ground where 1000 years ago the Magyar parliament met. The site is part of Budapest's city park land and lies just east of the city proper. The ex- position grounds cover an area of 4,5O0.- voo square feet and will contain 169 build ings and pavilions, erected at a cost of 1O,000000 f1orins. or $4,00d, 900.
 Another feature Of more than usual
Birmingham state herald., 1896-04-26

note is that the new house of the Hunga- rian parliament will be opened. 1t has cost 16,000,000 fiorins ($6,400,00O and taken twelve years to build. Five hundred new primary and technical schools in various parts of the country will be open- ed, and the "iron gate" which, like hell gate in East river, has always been menace to the navigation of the lower Danube, will be dedicated. This vast enterprise was commenced by Count Szechenyi and finished by Hungarian engineering skill and capital.
 Many Permanent Buildings.
 Many of the exposition buildings will be permanent, also grand triumphal arch. which has been erected in the city. On 1t have been placed statues of the men who figured prominently in the affairs of Hungary during the past ten years. Scores of patriotic memorials will be dedi cated in the form of columns and tablets erected at the seven points in and around the city occupied by the horsemen of Arfad when he made his great conquering onslaught.
 The sultan of Turkey has emptied his accumulation of relics into the exposition buildings Centuries ago his predecessors on the Ottoman throne had much to do with influencing the destines of Hun gary, and everything illustrative of the political military, social, religious and private life of the people will be shown.
 The architectural display promises to be unique, as 1t covers a period of years not often attempted by similar exhibi- tions It will practically be review of the architecture of the country for 1000 years showing the hut of the peasant and the castle of the nobleman in all their changes from the time of Arfad to the present.
 The exposition will continue for five months closing on October l.

In place of the long loops the ribbon is tied in a perfect butterfly bow. It stands up instead of droopin4 down. The ends, however, are equally long. They reach close to the bottom of the skirt. The front of the new sash is shaped like a girdle, giving the waist a more slender appearance than if the rib- bon were merely wound about it.
