"The article refer to are toothpicks
that are made from walrus whiskers.
Vast quantities of the stiff, thick whis-
kers of the walrus are shipped, from
Alaska chiefly, to myself, and to some
others in England. Those who send
them pull them out one by one with
special tweezers, and after the whis-
kers have been trimmed and stiffened
here they are made up into bundles and
sent abroad.

selves" finds peculiar illustration In
the coinage operations of the United
States Government. The everyday
bronze one-cent piece, made Of 95 parts
of copper to 5 parts of tin and zinc,
costs the government about one-tenth
of cent. Uncle Sans total profit In
the onercent and the tiye-cent pieces
coined last year was more than mill
ion dollars. The. Treasury Department
coins just enough one-cent pieces to
meet the demands of trade In the fis-
cal year which ended June 30 these
demands Were extraordinary, condi.
tion probably due to reyiying business,
the gradual introduction of pennies
into Pacific coast cities, aud the prey
alence of ''penny-in-t he-slot" machines.
These mechanical devices keep great
many one-cent pieces out of circulation,
and SO increase the demand upon the
Treasury for new ones. Various mi
nor coins have from time TO time been
issued. The copper half-cent piece was
current from 1892 to 1857, although
only n small number We're coined. The
two-cent piece, authorized in 1864, was
coined until 1873, and may still be seer
occasionally in circulation. The coin
age of the silver three-cent piece was
discontinued in 1873, and the nickel
three-cent piece in 1890. Whenever
one of these coins finds Its way into the
Treasury, 1t is not reissued. OF the
minor coins the government now makes
1t a policy to keep in circulation only
the one-cent and the iive-cent piece.

; EVOLUTION OF EXPOSITIONS.
How the Great Worlds Fairs of To-day
Display of China In Paris Century Ago

77 S early as 1897 the Marquis
IN d'Aveze, having received the APP
pointment as commissioner Of the
Royal Manufactures OF the Gobelins,
of Sevres, and of the SaNounerie, found
that the turbulent times of the revolu-
ton had so discouraged the Industrial
arts that the skilled worlilnen of these
places were reduced to starvation,
while the store rooms were filled with
the choicest productions of their art.
This condition gave him the idea of
holding an exhibition where tapestries.
china and carpets could be gathered
together and n great sale held.
The then unused chateau of ST. Cloud
was taken for this purpose, but OH the
day of the opening Il decree of the di-
rectory banishing the nobility was is

France, and return the following year,

Alt.eld ON Hero wor,h,n.

Compared with the mighty civil war,
The late Cuban war scarcely rises to
the dignity of skirmish, yet the he
roes Of the late war seem to be more
numerous than all the heroes, Union
or Confederates, of the civil war. We
are not hero worshipers, nor, on the
other hand, are we devoted to the for
tunes of any one man. We view this
whole situation calmly, and even cold
~. We rate men not by the clothes
they wear, but by the principles they
stand for, and by the services they
render their country. And viewed
from this standpoint, never before in
the history of any country or any peo-
pie, was the cause of freedom, the
cause of great people,. so heroically
and so ably maintained in all It's integ-
rlty as 1t has been during the last three
years by William j. Bryan. And when
we say this, we are not lndulglng in
hero worship, but are simply recogniz-
ing a great fact.-John p. Altgeld.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1899-09-20

the government resolved to hold an
nual exhibitions of like character, but
the disturbed condition of the country
prevented repetition until the year
1901. The third exposition, held in
1902, saw the origination of the Societe
encouragement, which has been a
powerful aid to French manufactures
On this occasion there were GOO prize
competitors. 1t was at this exposition
that cotton lace and silk thread were
first shown and prize was awarded
for the manufactures of iron by means
of coke.
No further efforts were successful un-
til in 1919, when another exposition
was held, after which those of 1923
and 1927 occurred with varying sue
cess. In 1874 the tenth and last expo
sition during the reign of Louis Phil
ippe saw $500 exhibitors participating.
Another exposition on a grand scale
was that Of 1910. Nearly 5000 exhib-
itors were represented and 3,73S prizes
We're awarded. The exhibition contin-
ued for sixty days, and its results were
SO beneficial that other nations began
TO realize its Importance to trade.
Three other countries had previously
given expositions of more or less local
nature. Such were those that had been
held in Russia, Denmark, and Aus
trla, and many of great Importance
had been held in Belgium.
In the British dominions expositions
had been held both in Manchester and
Leeds, and one In Dublin as early as
1927. 1t remained for England to pro-
mote the first actual international in
dustrlal exposition-that Of 1861. At
the first meeting Of the commissioners
1t was decided to rely wholly upon vol
untary contributions, and when an APP
peal was made fund of $1,50O,OOO
was soon raised. One single contribu-
tor headed the list with the large
amount of $25O,0OO. Designs for the
building were submitted by architects
of NIL nations. A plan suggested by
Sir Joseph Paxton was the one chosen,
butte Mr. Fox, of the firm of Fox ellen
derson, is due the credit of having orig
mated that new style of architecture
which was afterward dubbed the Ger
no Vitreous" style, he having worked
out and made possible Sir Joseph's
suggestion. Thus originated the first
