OLD.FAsHIONED CANE.
After the Birthday Feast Has
been Eaten.

After the goodies had been eaten, all
the French crackers pulled with snap,
and the boy and girl guests at a birth
day party are growing tired of new
fashioned amusements, here's some
thing to play-an old-fashioned game
called 1.-The -four and the ring"
This is the way you do it. Somebody
must mold in coffee cup a mound of
-four. 1t only takes little practiee to
turn the shape out perfectly upon q
plate. When the mound is formed
drop into the center of it some little
gift-a ring, pretty pin or any small
article boy or girl would fancy.
Whoever stsrts the game must take
. knife and cut through the mound to
the plate. Each one in the circle re-
peats this until the lucky boy or girl
comes across the hidden prize, when he
or she must pick il out with the teeth.
The fioury nose. cheeks and chin OF
the prize winner losk enough like .

Such Is the Purpose Of an Exposition to Be Held at
Philadelphia This Fall.

city. Whether they 60 there purely for
business or partly for pleasure. they
are sure to examine the exhibits, and
those who have the product of their
factories on exhibition will be sure to
reap great benefit from this advertising
of their goods, SO far as their domestic
trade is concerned. Even though
merchant or business man has no idea
of extending his trade outside of this
country. there is no reason why he
should fail to exhibit at Philadelphia in
the fall, and every possible reason for
his doing SO.
In the display of American manufac-
tured products it is intended to have
everything which is, can or might be
exported. from locomotives and heavy
machinery to the smallest novelties.
Among applications already received
are those from firms manufacturing
household hardware, Office supplies,
pianos and organs, wood boxes. paper
boxes, Photographic and printing pa
per. photographic work. wood veneers.
sugar machinery, hosiery machinery,
sewing machines; in fact. light and
heavy machinery of all kinds; Corliss
engines, chemical apparatus, electrical
apparatus, typewriters. bicycles. ve-
hicle wheels, Smyrna rugs and dish
washers. This gives only faint idea
of the immense variety of the displays
which may be seen when the exposi-
tion opens.
Working exhibits will prove one of
the most attractive features. Among
them will be sugar mill in operation.
tile plant. complete woodworking and
steel and iron plants which will be run
during the hours the grounds are open.
These last two are to come from Gin
cinnati. There will also be large COM
parative exhibit of filters and various
methods of liberation on large scale,
silk mandatory and an exhibition of
electric lighting in connection with
which it has been proposed to have tests
of the comparative efficiency of various
modes of electrical illumination. The
exact nature of this feature of the ex-
hibits hasnot as yet been determined.
To accommodate the display of ag
ricultural and farming implements and |
machinery. a special building will be |
provided. situated below the main build |
ings of the exposition. with one entrance |

OF course this rajah is too young
now to do the actual ruling. which is
in the hands of his chief minister, but
the power of the ruler is absolute, and
he can order life or death for anyone
who displeases him. The people are so

NEPAL's YOUNG KING.
Seasoned Warriors at HIS
Beck and Call.

Sumshere Jung is the name of the
young king of Nepal. one of the stran-
gest governments and countries in the
world. 1t lies between Thibet and In
dia, and contains the highest noun
tains of the loftiest of the earth's
ranges, the Himalayas. This little king
has 100000 of the best warriors in the
continent of Asia at his back, and it is
therefore easy for him to command the
respect of all the neighboring tribes
and governments. Even the English
remain on friendly terms with him and
hire some of his soldiers to help them
conquer the Hildus.
The people of Nepal are a strange
mixture of races.
The ruling tribes are the Ghoorkas,
whose prowess has given them the SUI

WHEN TEDDY SMITH.

When Teddy Smith first put on pants.
He felt so very grand
He wouldn't mind his mother.
Or he wouldn't ho-d her hand.
But on the street he walked ahead.
And tried to whistle some.
He thought perhaps he'd so to war.
And fire an awful gun.
He wouldn't ride his hobby-horse.
He called Jack Spratt "a fib!"
He sat at meals in fathers chair.
And scorned his gingham bib.
His mother mustn't spread his bread.
Nor cut things on his plate;
She mustn't say: mo more. my dear:
No matter what he ate.
She mustn't kiss him. when he fell
And bumped him on the stones.
And she must say: Dear sir" just ~
She did to Mr.. Jones!
So hard to please this gentleman
His loving mother tried.
It quite enlarged his dignity.
And swelled his lofty pride.
And all was brave. and all was WELL
Until that mother said.
At eight o'clock: "Of course. dear DIR.
You'll 60 alone to bed!"
All. would you have me say what then
Befell the great big man?
For IL you undertake to guess
hardly think you can.
He turned the corners of his mouth
Most fearfuliy awry.
He rubbed his grown-up fist awhile
Across his grown-up eye.
Then burying In his mothers lap
Both pride and manly joy.
He said in INST the littlest voice:
II guess I'm just a boy!"

The entrance to it will be through an

This auditorium will also be an ideal

Such a running about and ordering and

to kneel down while the heavy how

terror will be pleasing in appearance.
The design of the main facade of the
building will probably be somewhat in
the line of Flemish architecture with
open timber work construction in the
gables filled in with plaster. Four
aisles will run lengthwise of the build
ing between the spaces set aside for the
exhibits, and these, with the various
cross aisles that will be provided. will
make any great overcrowding among
the visitors an impcssibility.
There will be also transportation
building extending for $50 feet along
the tracks of the F., w. 4 B. r. II. and
sufficiently wide to accommodate at
least four tracks underneath the roof
the entire length of the building. This
will give linear space of about 1.sc0
feet for exhibits. The exhibition tracks
connect with the main tracks of the
railroad by switches short distance
below the building. Across the rail-
way and between it and the Schuylkill
river is large tract of offland on which
will be displayed wind mills, road roll
ers, traction engines and such other ex-
hibits as are not suited for showing un-
der a roof. This part Of the exposition
grounds will be reached from the main
building by way of bridge over the
railway tracks and stairways to the
ground below. The bridge on the side
toward the main exhibition hall will
connect with the roof of the power
house, which will be made fiat, sur
rounded by an ornamental railing and
pillars supporting electric lights. and
used as plaza from which fine view
of the river may be obtained.
According to the pans which have
finally been decided upon for the main
exposition buildings they will be most
imposing group of structures. AS at
first designed there were to be two per-
manent buildings erected very nearly
AGO feet apart and each of them about
3Sc by 90 feet. Each of these was to be
two stories high and in the upper flaor
of the south building was to be the res
taurant and cafe. The north building
on the upper floor was to have Offices
for the accommodation of the officers
and clerks engaged in the administra-
ton of exposition affairs. Between
these was to be center building very
nearly 800 by 400 feet in size. This is
intended TO be merely a temporary
structure and used as the main ex-
hibition hall. All Of this part of the
original plans has been unchanged by
later alterations or additions, but that
part of the plans originally made that
provided for temporary structures en-
closing large court with gardens and
an impressive avenue of approach lead
ing up to the main entrance has been
In place of these. another
permanent building Of the same size
as the others planned will be erected 300
feet to the north of the others and con-
nected with them by two wide arcades
Of temporary character, distant from
Zach other about 40 feet. These will
be used for the display of exhibits, and

He Didn,t Buy Any Cats.

A farmer from Iowa visiting Chicago
dropped in to see the cat show. He was
very much pleased with the tabbies.
and after making round of the cages
he stopped in front of a fine Angora and
said to an attendant: Its kinder ri
diculous for a farmer to buy a cat, be-
cause 1 reckon there's dozen round
the barn. but that's beauty, and be-
lieve I'll get it for my little girl. Dc
you suppose it's for sale?" The attend
ant thought it was. "About how
much?" asked the farmer, lingering
some loose dimes and nickels. "Five
hundred dollars" answered the attend
ant, promptly. "Great Scott!" gasped
the visitor, that's more'n got for a
whole car load of hogs!" He didn't buy
any cats at that show.
