been responded to most literally. Oma-

design of buildings, and the scheme Of
color, l am told, are all wholly different
from any former achievement The
buildings are to be given the tint of old
ivory, the staff work being colored to
produce that effect. Imposing columns
of long colOnnades, beautiful porticos
facing the main court, bas-relief sculp-
ture adjoining the pediments of great
buildings, all wrought in staff, will con-
tribute to the splendOr or tie completed
architecture. Visitors going by boat

graceful bridges, one of which is to

how is it possible that funds sufficient

CHAPTER III.

But Dick Wheeler did not so easily
resign the hope that Mary would &C
cept him. In his slow, honest, deliber-
ate way, he went all over the situation
in his own mind. He knew D0n's worth,
and he had felt, as had everybody who
had come in contact with him, the at
traction of the young fsherman's
sweet, kind, careless nature. He knew
all that with no jealousy or bitterness;
with only sober, kindly acceptance of
the fact. He admitted the loyalty of
Marys heart, land 1 like her all the
better" he said to himself stoutly. He
even realized, in an exact, reasoning
way, the force of Mary's ideal of Don;
land the longer she waits, the more
she'll care for him" he thought, sober
~. He must not lose any time, that
was clear. So he tried a dozen loving
articles; he called-not too often. He
carried fruit to Mrs. Hayes; he sent
books to Mary; and after awhile, to
put her at ease, he talked to her about
Don, and showed the affection which
he had always felt for him.
1t all seemed so natural to Mary that
she began to feel, as he meant that she
should, that he was friend.
Hes forgotten all that nonsense"
she told herself, and grew to depend on
his friendship. She was quite unem-
barrassed when she CHANGED to be alone
with him; if he met her as she was
walking home from school, or if he
found her sitting alone on the beach,

hind which Don's sails had dimmed,
and dipped, and disappeared forever.
Another year passed in this way.
Dick never spoke, but he went on low
ing. When at last he tried to speak,
her perfect friendliness closed his lips.
''I'd better get shipwrecked, he told
himself with little bitterness which
was foreign to his patient nature; IF
was dead, she'd think more of me-" He
did not give up hope, but he was dis
couraged. He hardly knew himself
how deeply so, for he was surprised to
find himself half sick, and by and by,
altogether sick-''down with fever, -
his man said, when he came to bring a
pair of chickens to Mrs. Hayes door,
and explain that Mr.. Wheeler couldn't

'Poor boy!" cried Mrs. Hayes, anx-
iously; land not wife nor mother to
take care of him. Well, there, Mary, it

next day she went to inquire about him.

man, laconically. Mary took the news
back to Don's mother, and was very ST.

Mrs. Hayes thought, severely, but that

Horse Hair from siberia.

Three hundred bales of horses names
and tails, to be used for upholstering
furniture, were lately landed at Phila-
delphia by the British steamships Maine
and Michigan from London. They come
from far-away Siberia, and are taken
from horses used by the Cossacks after
The animals have outlived their useful
ness. Horses are cheap in Russia, and
after having seen better days their
names and tails are the only things left
IF commercial value. Very often these
cirsute appendages are taken from
sound animals and the beasts left to
their fate. Here the upholsterers use
the hair fer stuffing chair backs and
other articles of furniture. and the ma
terial from Russia brings the best price
because the hair is the longest. and con.
seqrently the best.-Chicago Chronicle

California and Oregon, all the terri
tory west of Omaha was unorgahize6
as regards statehood, while to-day every
division is represented in congress save
the territories of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, and so rapid has been the devel-
opment of the west that the term
frontier" has become misnomer and
the arts and industries of civilization
have pushed out to the Rockies and be-
yond.

the marvellous progress made by the
states west of the Mississippi river dur

some of the large buildings nearing

feet wide. At the west end this
basin spreads out into a three-lobed
lake, facing which is the United States
government building, which the con-
tractor is rearing with all possible dis

of the basin there is an immense hemi-
cycle stairway, leading to "a viaduct
across Sherman avenue, which divides
the main tract of the exposition from
a beautiful plat of about 60 acres,
wherein are being erected the various

and other buildings of lesser degree.

THE DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
Difference Between Spoken and
Written Literature.

Written Literature.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment of their work in
accordance with the principles of an
other art, and at last they have succeed
ed in convincing the more open-minded
If us that what is of prime importance
in a picture is the way in which 1t is
painted, and that its merely literary
merit is quite secondary. They are not
unreasonable when they insist that the
chief duty of a picture is to represent
visible world, and not to point moral
or adorn tale, and that in the appre-
citation of picture we must first weigh
all of its pictorial beauty. Nor are the
sculptors asking too much when in a
statue they want US to consider chiefly
its plastic beauty.
Now, the orator and the dramatist
ask for themselves what has been grant
ed the painter and the scuIptor-they
request that an grafton or a drama
shall be judged not as literature only,
but in accordance with the principles
of it's own art. And here the literary
critic is even less willing TO yield. He
may acknowledge his own ignorance
of perspective and of pigments, of com
position and of modelling; he may con-
fess that here the painter and the
sculptor have him at a disadvantage,
but he is not ready to admit that he
IS not to apply his own standards to the
works Of the orator and of the dra.

that the speech and the play, if they be-
long to literature at all, are by that very
fact, absolutely within the province of
the literary critis. He cannot see why
that which the orator and dramatist
may write is not to be read and criti-
cised exactly as that which is written
by the novelist and the essayist and the
poet. Indeed, it is almost a misrepre-
sentation of the literary critics atti-
tude to suggest that he has need to
maintain this position, for it is rarely
even limited to him that he is not fully
justified in employing the same tests in
every department of literature.
Yet nothing ought to be clearer than
the distinction between the written
word and the spoken - between the
literature which is addressed to the
eye alone and that which is intended

between words written once for all and
words first spoken and then written
or at least written so that they may be
spoken. When this distinction is seized
it follows that oral discourse. is not
necessarily to be measured on the same
scale as written discourse. 1t follows
also that the speech and the play may
be very good, indeed, each in it's kind,
although they may fail to attain the
standard of strictly literary merit
which we should demand in an essay,
story or poem.-Prof. Brander Mat

successfully cultivated the acquaint-
an6e of the little ragamuffins of the
district and has organized class of
seven bright but untutored boys One
Sunday he secured an addition and
mentioned to the class that an eighth
member would be present the next Sun
day. The boys protested earnestly that
they didn't want a new boy, but the
teacher was infexible. Then, one after
another, the boys remarked: HE can't
sit side NV me, and the teacher added:
''Well, he can sit by me-" This settled

was over, and one little fellow lin

CHAPTER lI-CoNr1NnEn.

Mary's face was still flushed when
she came into the kitchen, and found
Mrs. Hayes trotting about, making bis
Quits for tea. The little old woman
looked at her keenly for a moment; she
had her suspicious and her hopes.
Dick Wheeler had stepped in earlier in
the afternoon to ask how she did-''to
pass the time of day." Mrs Hayes
said; and IL a casual way had asked
when Mary would be in. He wants to
meet her, and walk home With her.
she chuckled to herself; ''well, well
that's right. That's how it ought be- 1
hope the child will take him"
There was a curious inconsistency
about Don's mother. She loved Mary
for her faithfulness to Don, but-why
should the girl lose a good chance?
She had no small fears of any discom-
fort to herself, any neglect-she knew
Mary! So, with the best will in the
world, she tried to further Dicks suit.
She talked about him a good deal; his
money, his providence, his good hearts
and the fine bow window he had built
in his diningroOm.
''Dick, he's all for use and comfort
and his wife," she reminded Mary with
vast significance, Twill be more com
Portable than most folks. She won't
have to carry water in from the well
the way you do here; he's got it run

''There are worse things than carry

said, decidedly; and Mrs. Hayes said tC

man sat in the darkness, feeling miser-

wished Jacob would come; he wished he

supper; he wished Mary would be kind

and set his lips, ashamed of his unman-
ly irritability, his cowardly collapse.
Some one knocked, but did not wait
for his Come in" to push the door open
and enter. 1t was Mary; she came
right to his chair and knelt down and
