sition will be free. This feature Is to
be carried to greater lengths than ever
before The great structures erected by
the Omaha Exposition last year have
been purchased and will be filed with
live exhibits, showing the process of
manufacture in many lines of industry.
Although the Greater America Ex-
position Company has been organ
lied but month or two, the Bureau
of Exhibits is flooded with appli-
cations for space. 1t is only a mat
ter of selection. Mr.. L n. Simpson,
who has just been appointed superin-
tendent of the Bureau of Exhibits, is
now in the east negotiating with some
of the great manufacturing and indus
trial concerns which have applied for
space in which to operate their exhibits.
Inasmuch as the buildings are ready
to receive exhibits, these negotiations
are proving most successful, as Mr..
Simpson has booked many attractive
exhibits which will occupy all available
space.
The increasing prosperity which pre-
walls throughout the midwest is re-
garded as sufficient guaranty that the

had no parallel in the history of the
country. And it was done in the face of
all sorts of difficulties, arising in a want
of confidence, in enterprise and in feel
ing that it would be impossible to or
ganize such an exposition in that Sec
tion of the country. 1t is true that it
has paid every dollar at par and has
surplus in the treasury to meet con-
tingent liabilities.
"The two words Greater America
mean that we propose to represent In
the coming Exposition all new acquisi~
tions of territory we have made through
the war with Spain and by annexation,
as in the case of Hawaii. We propose
to produce on the Exposition grounds
and in the splendid buildings, which
are in perfect order at Omaha, repre-
sentatives of these races, their huts,
products, weapons and everything that
represents them as peoples. We pro-
pose, moreover, TO repeat the Indian
congress, which was great attraction
last year, by gathering representatives
of all tribes hitherto hostile to each
other and arrangements have been made

aid of the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs. To these will be added many
other features. including a horse show.
Agriculture and horticulture will be
represented in a way that will equal
anything in that line anywhere in the
country heretofore. What we seek now
is to draw the attention of the manufac-
turing interests TO this great, growing
center in the west and I wish to invite
the people i'll this section of the country
to become better acquainted with west
ern people and come among them with
their magnificent machinery and show
them how 1t is operated.

Native Filipino Music.

Among the novel features of the Col

a native Filipino band of 40 instru-
ments. Americans who have heard
this band on the Plaza at Manila are
extravagant in their praise of these ma
tive musicians who not only produce
classic, but Il wide range of Filipino
compositions. The managers of the
Greater America Exposition believe
that no greater attraction could be pre-

RARE NEW RIBBONS.
Popular Trinlmings Call for Many
Yards of the Narrow Variety.

Popular Trimmings Call for Many
Yards of the Narrow Variety.
From the Boston Post.
Dressmakers beginning to be very
busy, and milliners are taking on the
anxious expression that lasts until Easter
The cry that becomes almost universal
now is for overskirts and tulle touues and
transparent goods in wool, batiste in cot
ton and satin-faced foulard in silk. Such
is the epitome of spring styles, and now
for the enhancing little details.
To begin with, everything that can be
possibly trimmed with yards upon yards
of narrow gathered ribbon is trimmed with
it, 1t comes all prepared in narrow lutte
string width, with d cording down the CEN
ter. A pull on one Of theyribbons turns the
cord into a drawstring though the ribbon
can be quite as prettilyz put to very orthodox
uses. 50
So exceedingly lovely are some of the
patterns for ribbons this spring that they
retail at $1.75 per yard, and this is for rib
bon only three and half inches wide. Their
commanding beauty OF color and unusual
charm of decoration have inspired some
thoughtful soul to seI the fashion of having
shirt waists made of lengths of ribbon laid
together. The ribbon edges are united by q
beading on a very marrow lace inserting or
a piping of some satin in a solid color
Such shirt waists are made with the ribbon
running lengthwise Or crosswise of the fig
ure, and are the result of the strenuous ef-
fort to find something new in fancy
bodices that threaten to be done to death.
Another species of ribbon very much used
for this purpose is the rich white mauve
satin article striped with black velvet. A
richer fabric than this it is impossible to
find, and the ribbon par excellence for the
hordes of muslin frocks soon to be material
izing about us is a very much grained taf-
feta that is soft withal and edged with a
narrow chined floral band that finishes in
fringe. The fringe Is merely the raveled
edge Of the ribbon and Is stamped with the
floral pattern, too.
The new way Of using ribbon round the
neck Is to buy one three or four inches wide.
pass it twice roun dthe throat tie bow
under the chin, carry the ends down to the
| waist knot a smaller bow there and then
let two sliced tabs fall three inches below
this second bow, which is made fast to the
dress or shirt waist by means Of an orna-
mental pin.
Pretty fronts are made of colored tulle
powdered with large silk dots and worn as
above described. while cut white crystal
| buttons, some of them as big as the tops
Of decanter stoppers and some Of them with
little pictures in their depths have made
| every other species Of button look eminentiy

A New Watch Pocket.

The originators Of women's fashions have
puzzled their heads for a long time how to
give women watch pocket that will be
perfectly safe and yet not be dishguring to
the fit or cut Of q bodice.
OF course, the tailor-built woman could
have a fat pocket hidden under the lapel
of her coat, where her watch would be per-
feotly safe. but the patroness Of a more
feminine style Of dress really had no place
where she could stow away her watch with
comfort and safety. and, therefore, she gen.
orally resorted to the plan OF fastening 1t to
her bodice with special kind of brooch,
where 1t Was liable to be snatched OF by a
thief ait any time.
After much puzzling Of brains q novel
pocket has been devised which Is worn on
the left sleeve and can be easily reached
by the right hand From the front of the
pocket q circular piece Is cut, through
which one can conyenientiy see the watch
The flap OF the pocket is padded with soft
material. SO that there IL practically no
danger of breaking the watch Many de-
signs for beautifying the pocket are no.
ticed. In most cases the rim of the circle
through which the dial shows Is richly en-
broidered with gold or silver thread
The watch Is slipped into the pocket from
the side, and buttons keep It from falling
out.

Here are two methods Of cleaning gloves:
The first Is to rub them with cream Of tar.
tar till all signs of dirt have disappeared.
The second is as follows: Put the soiied
glove on the hand and lightly rub It with a
piece of fine flannel which has previously
been damped with milk and rubbed on a.
cake of white soap. To insure success do
not make the flannel too wet, and be care
full TO use a fresh piece for rubbing the
glove directly the part In use becomes
soiled.

Australian Weddings.

In Australia there are so few natives left
that anything but a white mans marriage
is a comparative rarity. The curious differ
ence. however, between weddings there and
in the mother country is that here we

the ceremony. and at the Antipodes they
license the man who performs the rites.

Condition of the Teeth Has Much to
Do With Health.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The condition Of the teeth has much to
do with the general health. The improve
ment following the placing of the teeth in
healthy condition is often surprising. One
cause of so-called bad breath is due to tar
tar on the teeth, they being otherwise
sound and good. Tartar is in many mouths
the only enemy to contend with 1t ac-
cumulates at the neck of the teeth. irri-
tates the gums, causing them to become In
famed so that they bleed easily. This
should be taken as a warning. and II a
dentist is called upon in time will prevent
much injury. If not done the accumula-
ton continues and in time the teeth be-
come loose and are lost.
A tooth that is decayed contains cav
ity In which food collects and Is decompos-
ed. The decomposed food Is dislodged and
carried into the stomach, where 1t may
cause much trouble. OF course, the trouble
is increased by the number of teeth tnvolv-
ed. A person with poor teeth cannot eat
with satisfaction; he is In q nervous con-
d.tion. his food imperfectly nasticated and
insalivated. hence goes into the stomach
unprepared for digestion, thereby causing
indigestion. In such q case the services OF
dentist are necessary.
The teeth and mouth being In healthy
condition, they can be kept SO by proper
attention and use. The thorough mas
tication Of the food giyss the teeth and
surrounding parts exercise. which is es-
sential to their health. The teeth should
