PECK On. N.PARIS FAIR.
OUR COMM SSIoNER GENERAL SAYS
THINGS LOOK ENCOURAGING.
Now In Hand For the
Agricultural Exhibit which, 1t Is
Believed. VIII Astonish the World.
Plans Ready For Our Buildings.

Especial Correspondence
CHICAGO, June 13.-Commissioner
General Ferdinand W. Peck, who re-
Gently returned from Paris and is now
in this city, speaks encouragingly of
the preliminary work in connection
with our exhibit at the worlds fair in
the French capital next year and is
confident that when the gates are open
ed the United States will be represent
ed in manner creditable to great
nation. There is no end of detail to be
planned and executed before the fair is
opened, and matters are yet in some
what chaotic condition, but the COM
missioner says everything is moving
along as smoothly and satisfactorily as
could be expected.
Effort is now being especially direct
ed toward preparations for the agricul-
tural exhibit, which the commissioner
and those associated with him hope to
make world beaten" Secretary Will
son of the department of agriculture is
deeply interested in this exhibit and is
aiding the commission in every way
possible. The work of gathering the
material for this exhibit is no slight
task. 1t is, of course, desired to secure
the best products from every part of
our wide domain. To this end agents
country to hunt up the products. Some
of these agents will look over the stock
farms, others will visit the ranges of
the west, and still others will scurry
around over the broad acres of the
grain belt. No section of the country
will be sighted. There will naturally
enough be no end of products offered
fer the exhibit. The real trouble will
be in deciding what not to select out
of the great mass of first fruits"
which the husbandmen will proudly
tender to the commission for display at
Paris, as illustrating the agricultural
greatness of their country.
Owing to the restricted space, it has
been determined by Commissioner Peck
to accept only the highest development
of each product, and to discriminate be-
tween the bewildering aggregation of
varieties will be no small task. After
they have made their tours throaeh the
country the agents will concentrate at
one point. probably in this city, and re-
port upon what they have found. Then
the trouble of Commissioner Peck and
his aids will begin in real earnest-the
discrimination between SO much that
it is of the best and that which could
not be better. Every farmer will want
his products shown, and there will
doubtless be much disappointment be-
cause all the offerings cannot be ac-
cepted. The upshot CT the whole busi-

there is any tendency in your family toward

When to Stop Legs and MIX.

People over 80 would do well to
give up milk and eggs as a diet" said
Dr.. Henry NJ. Dearborne. ''These are
the structure forming foods of animals
which mature in short time, and
when taken in quantities by human
beings whose structures have already
formed they tend only to the harden
ing and aging of the tissues"
DR.. Dearborne said that he had seen
people who were beginning to find
stair climbing difficult and who were
losing thai. elasticity much benefited
Ly eliminating these articles from their
diet "rhere has been u great increase
in the duration of life below the age of
80, statistics prove" he said, "but be-
yond that period there has been no
Improvement" In his opinion, the per-
son over 90 should have as good a
chance to preserve life as the young
child just beginning its struggle with
eXistence.-New York Times.

Pig Bone Bracelets.

The natives of the New Hebrides
islands, in the Pacific ocean, raise pigs
for bracelets. The upper canine teeth
of the pigs are removed, and that gives
the lower tusks chance to grow as
much as they wish. The lower teeth
grow, and finding no resistance, attain
q good length. The teeth grow in a
spiral, and the tip often lies beside the
root of the tooth. Very rarely the
point grows into the root of the tooth
and makes complete circle. A COM
plete pig tooth bracelet is a very valua-
BILE jewel, which is worn around the
wrist or attached to Il string around
the throat.-San Francisco Call.

of his famous pieces is more unique
and characteristic of boyishness than
many of the street snap shots available
in the Cuban cities.
From the time you step upon Gu
ban wharf and are tackled by the
''rats" who want to carry your luggage
until you finally flip your last centavos
into the hand of the ''muchacho'
who has helped you aboard the home
bound boat you are constantly remind
ed that Cuba has for long time been
busy raising Gains and Abels as well as
''raising hades with Spainl" Cuba
may be the land of manana-always
tomorrow the men, but not
so with its "muchachos. - They are al
ways up to date and "alive for today. 3"
The Cuban boy has not had a fair
chance. For years he has been the vic
tim of the unmindfulness of war.
While fighting and foraging have dis
turbed business and government and
destroyed the industries of the country,
the boys have had hard time in which
to make progress toward manhood. The
Spanish government neglected the
schools and starved out the teachers.
The fathers were imprisoned, transport
ed, reconcentrated and starved or else
perished in battle, in camp or in hospi-
tails in the hills. The boys had to work
when they could find anything to do
or hustle for odd jobs in the streets.
Lacking the latter, there was nothing
else but to beg for the coppers that
might keep body and soul together.
Their case was pitiful indeed, and even
yet thousands of them show the pinched
and hungry looks that will mark them
for life.
Yet the Cuban boy is a promising
quantity in the island. A close ac-
quaintance with him reveals that he
has capacities and natural ambitions.
He takes instruction kindly, and is
easily excited to emulation. The ma
jority of those encountered in the school
give unquestionable evidence that bet
ter systems of culture, santa tion and
adaptation of education to opportuni-
ties will speedily develop better and
more effective generation than Cuba
has ever before known. The schoolmas-
ter is to be the real reconstruction of the
nation. The raw material is all along
the highways, as shown in the picture,
as eager to be drilled into splendid citi
zenship as to be snap shot by soldier
photographer or to follow the Cuban
band, an instructive thing with boys
in all nations where music heads the
procession.

EDISON'S INITIATION.
Dramatic Climax to His Introduction
to Chewing Tobacco.

"A long time ago, when 1. was IL mite
of Il boy said Edison, Il, with two
other little fellows, had saved up a lot
OF scrap iron and tin and zinc which
we meant to sell when the holidays
came around. There was a large boy
in the neighbour, ood q think he must
have become a hunko steerer after
ward) who knew of our hoard. One
day when we had been in swimming
he came to us and said:
Say, you fellows, if you will give
me that tin and iron and stuff you
have, I'll teach you how TO chew
THE proposition struck US as being
very fair. particularly as he agreed to
furnish the tobacco. Well, we were
quite willing, so he brought some Ca
madam cut down to a sand bank by the
river. He divided the stuff into three
said:
"'Now you must do exactly as l say,
and you must do it right away, or
you'll never learn to chew.
Now. then he shouted, hold upr
I'VE held it up.
"'Put it in your MOUTH he yelled.
1--WE put it in.
"'Chewr he Missed dramatically.
I'VE worked away at great rate.
Swallow it" he screeched.
"We gulped it down, and then that
young rascal fairly rolled down the
bank with laughter, while we soon
rolled down the other side, sicker, /
suppose. than any of us had been in
our lives before or since. One of the
boys nearly died, and they had very
serious time with him. That was my
first experience with htobacco."-Phila-

EXPOSITION.
ness, however, will be the selection of
an agricultural food exhibit that will
surpass anything the world has ever
seen.
During the year last passed the world
has had something of an exhibit of our
prowess in war, and it is now desired
that we demonstrate how consummate-
ly great we are in the arts and accom-
plishments of peace. We're out for the
markets of the world, and the excel
lence and extent of our exhibit at the
Paris exposition will accomplish much
in this direction As it is already esti-
mated that 1000. 900 people will
visit the great fair. next year, the i'm
portance Of making a superior showing
is apparent.
Commissioner Peck asserts that the
plans for the American building at
Paris are well advanced, though it is
yet too early to give minute descrip-
tion Of them. There will be a large GEN.
tral building designed for headquarters
for Americans. 1t will not be used for
exhibits, but for the comfort and recep-
tion of visitors and exhibitors from the
United States. This building will have
nm imposing dome. with an American
eagle on top, and in the center of the
rotunda will be a statue of George
Washington. The Agricultural build
ing will be an annex to this and will
cost about $50, 900.
A feature of the agricultural exhibit
will be 90 foot revolving plate glass re-
frigeratcr to be used to display perish
able meats and dairy products. This
refrigerator will be constructed of
ebonized oak, and will be filed with
the choicest cuts of American meats,
which will give the foreigners pretty
good idea of what we produce in this
direction. Much space will also be given
to the display of poultry. Vegetables, |
cereals and fruits will form consider.

propose to demonstrate. our ability to

SALT LAKE City, June 13.-The Nor
mon people are great colonizers. Re-
Gently a party of %, together with
wagons, live stock and agricultural i'm
plements, left for the prosperous Al
berta settlement in Canada. This colony
was founded in 1887, and has the sup
port of the government. The Alberta
district is just east of the Rocky noun
tains and north of Montana. The area
OF the province comprises over 107, 700
square miles, being larger than Eng
land and Wales combined. The Utah
authorities have selected the beautiful
St Mary's valley for their emigrants.
Well informed persons here declare
that the climate is delightful in the
Canadian settlement. The winter sea-
son is short, and the cold is said never
to be intense. There are strong winds
blowing always. but they are dry, and
the absence of any humidity is benef-
cial. The climate is excellent for those
who are suffering from CT are threat
ened with lung trou bles.
Agriculturists and their families are
encouraged TO locate in Alberta and aid
in developing the country Land can
be purchased for S. an acre. City lots,
an acre and q quarter in size, bring from
$40 to $40. Coal is said to abound, the
entire district being reported by the
geological survey to be underlaid with
coal. At the town of Lethbridge there
is an immense coal mine, which pro-
duces large quantities of minerals.
An immense canal is being construct
ed in Alberta. 1t will carry water from
the st. Mary's river at Csrdston as far
as Sterling, distance of 90 miles.
The total cost of the enterprise will
reach $500. 900 and will be completed
before the end of the year. Over mil
lion feet of lumber will be used.
The two rival mining exchanges
make matters lively here Many of the
old time silver and lead producers have
opened up and have already resumed
paying dividends. Lead mines in this
state are also quite profitable. The
great rise in the price. of copper has
caused rush of miners and prospect
Ors to this state.

FRESH GOLD CROPS.
Localities Where the Precious Meta
Deposits Itself Annually.

Localities Where the Precious Metal
Deposits Itself Annually.
There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year
or, in other words, where fresh depos-
its of the precious metal are to be
found annually.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian northwest,
where, after the spring floods, from the
same banks and benches" of the Sas-
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few .diggers, who make their living
out of the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter-
esting case of this sort is to be seen
near Ichang. in the province of Hupeh,
in China. For many centuries past
each year gold has been washed from
the banks of coarse gravel ON both
sides of the river Han, and in the
midst of the auriferous district there
is an ancient town called Li-kiu-tien,
which means gold diggers' inn." Its
inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing
ground among themselves annually,
stalking out their claims with parti-
tiOns. They pay no royalty and ap-
pear TO earn no more than bare sub
sistence. But this may be doubted, as
John Chinaman is an adept at "layin
low and sayin muffin"
The annual river floods bring down
millions of tons of mud and sand from
the mountains, and this mud and sand,
which is charged with gold, both fine"
and in fakes, is deposited to depth
of six inches or more on the banks of
gravel. 1t is in the winter that the
gold is washed, and it is said that sew
