OF Great Importance to You.

Every man, woman and child in Wiscon-
sin and Northern Michigan is reminded of a
fact of Importance and great interest to each
and every one. 1t is the opening, in Mil
waukee, on September 10, of the Milwaukee
Exposition, which will continue in daily
operation for five weeks. 1t is also a fact Of
interest to all that the extensive prepare
tions show that this will be by far the great
est exposition ever held in Wisconsin.
Every foot OF space in the vast building has
been engaged by exhibitors, and among the
most wonderful displays will be an especial
exhibit of electric and me chanical wonders.
There will be nearly 200 separate exhibits,
introducing all the latest scientific, mechan-
ical and automatic devices of value and use
in human existence. The railroads will sell
excursion tickets from all parts of Wiscon-
sin and Northern Michigan, on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays during the expo
sition, at rate of fare and a third for the
round trip, these tickets to be good for re-
turn until the following Mondays in each
case.

VOICE CULTURE FOR GIRLS.

Daily work should be divided, the
atteL tion being equally given to piac-
Cal and theoretic studies. There
are exercises for the placing Of the
voice, vocalizing, classic arias, etc.,
and sll works calculated to form or
develop the art site sense ought to be
closely studied. It is not necessary
to devote many hours to vocal ex-
e ses. One hour of Intelligent work
will suffice, if only it be regularly ad-
hered to, and in the beginning, when
there is more or less danger of i'm
peding progress through overfatigue,
an hour is quite sufficient. For my
part l only spent two years at pre-
paratOrv study, but I am forced to
confess that my case is an exceptional
one, 1 taving been g fled with "a
rarely flexible voice, which lent it
self readily to all I required of it.
But a general rule can not be laid
down without causing disillusionment
in some instances, and it would be
pity FIR many to waste prec GUS
time i trying to run before they
have learned how to walk. Further
more lyric art is not limited to sing
ing, but is made up of a quantity of
similar arts, VIII CHI it takes time to
assimilate-music, deels nation, mimi
cry, experiment, etc., all part and
parcel Ct the dramatic art Of which
I have more to say later on.
AS I have already stated, three
years at east are to be set as de for
study before there can be any hope
of reaching the state where 1t is
practical to appear ON the stage and
face a public but little disposed to
be indulgent.- Harper's Bazaar.

AMERICAN GAME PICTURES.
For Decoration of Homes,

Probably at no time in the worlds his
tory has as much attention been paid to
the interior decoration of homes as at
present. No home, no matter how hum
BILE, is without its handiwork that helps
to beautlfy the apartments and make the
surroundings more cheerful. The taste
of the American people has kept pace
with the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way of a pic
ture, a draping, piece of furniture or
other form of mural decoration. One of
the latest of these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muville,
in a series of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any
thing as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American wild ducks, American
pheasants, American quail and English
snipe. They are handsome paintings and
are especially designed for hanging on dim
ing room walls, though their richness and
beauty entities them to a place in the
parlor of any home. These original
plaques have been purchased at cost of
$4,000 by J. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., man.
ufacturers of the celebrated Elastic
Starch, and in order to enable their num-
erous customers to become possessors Of
these handsome works Of art they have
had them reproduced by a special process.
in all the rich colors and beauty of the
original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape OF a plaque and trimmed with
heavy band of gold. They measure forty
inches n circumference and contain no
reading matter or advertisement what
ever.
Until Oct. Messrs. ]. G.. Hubinger
Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every
purchaser of three ten-cent packages of
Elastic Starch, flatiron brand, manufac-
tured by j. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., is en-
titled to receive one of these handsome
plaques free from their grocer. Old and
new customers alike are entitled to the
benefits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your gro
Ger. Every grocery store in the country
has Elastic Starch for SALE 1t is the old
est and best laundry starch on the market
and is the most perfect cold process starch
ever invented. 1t is the only starch made
by men who thoroughly understand the
laundry business, and the only starch that
will NOT injure the finest fabric It has
been the standard for a quarter of a cen
fury and as an evidence of how good it is
twenty-five million packages were sold
last year. Ask your dealer to show you
the plaques and tell you about Elastic
Starch. Accept no substitute Bear in
mind that this offer holds good a short
time only and should be taken advantage
Of without delay.

UNCLE SANS INDIA.
Fabulous Fortunes Await Yankees in
the Philippines.

when the grasp of Spain shall
have been shaken from the throat of
the rich and fertile Philippines, and
the islands are placed under the rule
Of free and enlightened America, ma
tives Ct this country will be given an
opportunity of acquiring riches such
as will dwarf into insignificance the
alluring prospects of California In -
and the Klondike in 81"
This statement was made by Col.
Edwin Marshal Stuart, formerly an
olIlc on the staff of his dIstin guish ID
cousin, Gen. J. e. B. Stuart, "the dash
ing cavalier of the confederacy,' says
a Philadelphia correspondent in the
st. Louis obe-Democrat For many
years the colonel was resident of the
Philippine islands. He is visiting the
family of Charles ]. Lewis, at Chest
nut Hill. Continuing, he said: 81 will
venture the statement that tn : Philip
pines are the richest islands on the
face Of the globe today, and during
the next twenty years, thanks 70
Iewev's fleet and an enlightened pol
icy at Washington, fortunes of such
princely magnitude as would open the
eyes e Monte Cristo will be made
in the sugar, coffee, indigo and hemp
trade there by natives of this coun-
try. The opportunities for making
money in trade are simply Infinite.
En- ergetic young men of pluck and a
small capital of even a few hundred
dollars will be able to accumu ate
enough to keep them in opulence the
rest of their days. [ have lived there
many years, and I know the chances
for enterprislng and hardworking
young Americans.
THE biggest fortunes will be made
in the sugar Industry. Sugar-cane
grows almost wild in the five chief is
lands in the group. The decompOsed
lava soil from the extinct volcanoes
the larger islands, side by side with
the active making vol
canoes, has the requisite facilities for
making sugar-cane. In one year the
cane comes to seed. The plaltat1cn MS
OF the island of Samoa hold the
worlds record fer the production of
rich cane to the acre.
"I have known Spanish planters on
the islands of Samoa and Luzon to
make a clear profit of $500 per year
from every acre. The laborers are
paid a trivial sum. The negroes get
on al average of 80 cents week for
cultivating the cane Nature do the
rest. With Yankee invention and
energy, many man will become a
millionaire from sugar growing in the
Philippines, and in addition the price
of sugar. owing to competition, will
| be much reduced.
"The agricultural methods of the
islands are about 300 years out Of
date. Ok carts are used for transpOr-
tation and oxen for blowing. I have
seen planters Use a bent stick for a
prod, with an iron point for pillow.
Think of it. and think Of what Amer
leans will do there in the nature Of
Improvements. In crushing the cane
and extracting the juice, methods in
vogue in the time OF Cortes, Pizzaro
and Columbus are still in use.

islands, their number and size In all
there are as many Islands as there
are in the st. Lawrence river. Luzon,

MISS GOULD TO AID CUBA
She WIN at Her Own Expense Send to the
Insurgents -Four Troops of Spleen
did Cavalry.

New YORK, May 7.-Helen Gould is
to help the Cubans The favored
daughter of the famous millionaire
will furnish the sinews of war for four
troops of Cuban cavalry. These troops
are not for the United States but the
army of insurgents and Miss Gould
will pay all the expenses of their equip
ment and transportation. A short time
ago Miss Gould sent her check for
si00, 900 to President Mckinley TO be
used as he deemed proper in the war
and intimated in the letter which ac-
companied it that she would like to
double the amount. This check was
returned by the president because un-
der the law he had no power to accept
it. Miss Gould was disappointed by
the result attending her patriotic Of
fering, but she was not discouraged.
She was advised to expend the money
in sending soldiers to Cuba. 1t was
decided that George NJ. Barber
should procure a commission from the
Cuban authorities as brigadier gen.
eral with authority to raise four COM
panies of cavalry of go men each, to
serve in the Cuban army and to be un-
der the orders of Cubans exclusively.
Miss Gonld agreed to pay all the ex.
penses of recruiting these men, to pur
chase uniforms, horses and equipments
and to pay all transportation to Cuba

HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.
The Enslish Are Opposed to the
Teaching of Servants.


An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country,
says j. n. Larnew, in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious Of three
serious facts: u) That there is
strong gclass-feeling against much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and seryants-a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. (2) That the school
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools. fos-
tered by the church and ostensibly
actuated by desire for religious In
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in eality by the two sentiments
indicated above. Looking, there
fore, to the increasingly democratic
conditions that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness OF
disposition that appear among it's citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popu.
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen it's chances
of holding, under the reign of democ-
racy. the high place to which it rose
under the aristocratic regime.
