The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1897-09-11

looked to me very much like some OF

OF South Africa made in Berlin. Oats
my gal" OF course she didn't UNDER
stand him. so asked him where he
was from and learned that they had
two hundred OF the blackest descen-
dants OF the Senegambia race imported
from different portions Of our country
to help out the Transvaal exhibition.
Well. must say I am struck on
Stockholm. II is a beautiful city and
rs tEis is exposition times everybody
seems to be enjoying themselves. l
must say the exposition itself i, nothing
great. You can see it all in two days.
The pecuiarity OF this exposition is
that the exhibits are mostly from coun-
tries we know scarcely anything about.
Russia. Norway, Sweden and Denmark
make up very near the whole exposi-
tiOn. The steel exhibit Of Sweden is
something remarkable and the display
in this line shows the country to be
equal to any portion of the world iE
such matters. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that Swedish steel and iron are
superior to any other produced. Their
razors, knives and such instruments
consider better than the best G2g.ish
maKe~. 4 splendid razor 70" ore
krone. or about .wenty.seven cents. a
splendid pocket knife for about fifty
cents. equal to amy knife we can
buy at home for three times that
price. The displays of Swedish ma
chinery we're quite striking wheE YOU
take into consideration that the whole
number OF inhabitants of Sweden are
about the same amount as are in the
city o. London. They export their
steel and iron 10 all portions OF the
habitable globe. The principal display
Of the Russian department was furs,
and il was simply duplicate Of what
Russia had at Chicago. Denmark had
Eue display OF agricultural articles
and especially some of her world re-
nowned Danish butter. tried it. but
can t say it is any better than the Major
furnishes US at the Grenada Hotel.
Norway had a splendid fish display.
All kinds of fsh-fresh, sulted and
canned. One has no idea what an
enormous business this fish industry is
until he sees the different varieties and
finds out the amount consumed by the
world. The sardines, caviar and
salmon figures were so large didn't
have head enough to remember them.
There is one custom at the exposition
l like very much, they have milk res
taurants, and instead of filing up on
German beer filed up on the Swedish
milk. The situation Of this exposition
Is the most striking part Of the whole
affair. 1t is built on an island with a
rocky mountain for its back ground.
1t is ro1nantically situated, most OF the
buildings are of Moorish design,
and when all this is lit up by thou
sands of electric lights the sight is
truly amazing. Expositlons to me are
like a circus, there is a
great similarity and when you have
seen one the balance have very few
that one has not seen
before.
Sweden has one custom mewhat
peculiar. You go into a restaurant
here, in the middle o. the same is a
able spread with all KINDS Of appe-
,izers, sardines, caviar, herring. salted
eggs and y hundred small
hlngs to p"odu:e IN appetite. Each
ne walks UP, takes what he likes with
lis hat on, drinks a few drops OF some
swedish drink and PAGES the floor for
i've or ten minutes before sitting down
Q his meals. This is what they call
'etting up an appetite. To- few peo.
lie know in this world such things
he necessary. What do you
hink about it, eh. Buck :!
