Collections of Paintings.
Two of the most interesting historical
collections of paintings extant will be
seen in the west this year and will
doubtless be m inspiration to western
artists. The management of the Great
er America exposition has secured for
its fine art hall at Omaha the famous
Vereschagin collection Of nearly 1000
fine paintings poxtraying scenes in the
life of Napoleon, notably his brilliant
but disastrous Russian campaign. This
collection has recently been ON exhibit

Novelties in Music.
The renowned Dan Godfrey's British
Military band Of AZ pieces from Lon
don has been secured for the opening
ceremonies of the Greater America expo
sition at Omaha and will give concerts
from the grand hand stand. which has
been declared to be the best in America,
every afternoon and evening for the
first five weeks. Most Of the performers
have at some rericd been connected
with the illustrious Grenadier guards
band Of England, of which Dan God
frey was for many years the leader. He
is the greatest of all the leaders of the
splendid bands in the British army,
and he has selected his material from
the best in the service. Following this
will come the celebrated Bellstedt- Bal
lenburg band of Cincinnati for four
weeks engagement. Some time in Sep
TENDER the national band Of Hawaii
will come from Honolulu for an engage
ment and negotiations are pending for
a fourth band of international repute.
The Hawaiian band will intersperse
many of the novel native selections
with its airs popular in America and
classic music. A band of Indian boys
from an Indian school in Arizona will
be feature of the Indian congress.

Publishers who most successfully seek

Few Die in Tasmania.

If the statement of Harry Benjafied,
a health officer in Tasmania, is exact,
that country must be conducive to
long life, and its cities healthy to live
in. He says that the population Of
Hobart and its suburbs is 10000, and
that in 1898 the total number OF
deaths was sci, or about IA in every
1000. He says. further, that of the SCI
persons who died, $50 were more than
Go years old. representing 91a per 1000
of the deaths and leaving only AZ per
/ 900 for deaths of children and all
others under 60 years old. He believes
he is justified in challenging any 9TH
er city in the world to produce equally
favorable figures, particularly the
small figures for deaths under SO years
of age Tasmania has been under
British control for about one century,
and a large proportion of its pOpula-
ton is natiye-born of British parent
age.

CANNOT COUNT THREE.
Primitive People OF tho Murray Islands

Primitive People OF tho Murray Islands
An expedition recently sent out from
England to the Murray islands has
brought some interesting information
about the islanders. These primitive
people, it appears, cannot count high
er than two. "Netat" is their word
for one, and nets" for two When
they want to say three they say ''one-
two (metal-nests) and when they
want to say four ''two-twO- (netS-
nets). Higher figuring than these they
express by means of their bodies.
Thus they began TO count from the
little finger on the left hand, and,
proceeding thence to the other fingers,
they successfully reach the wrist, the
arm. the right wrist md finally the
fingers on the right hand. In this way
they can count as high as thirty-one.
When they want to express a higher
number than this they can only use
the word "gaire" which signifies many.
This ancient mthod of counting, how
ever. Is fast disappearing, thanks to
the strenuous efforts which the English
are making to teach the islanders the
ordinary rules of arithmetic Ethnolo-
gists, therefore, are especially glad that
information about this ancient me-
thod of counting has come to them just
as it was on the point of disappear
ing forever.

IMPOSING ENTRANCE.
Built by Germanic Dry Goods Company
at Canal and Main.


The Germanic Dry Goods company,
at Main and Canal streets, has just
completed a decided Improvement IN
the construction and arrangement OF
it's stores. This is quite IN line Win
the management of that progressive
establishment, and also adds TO the
improvements in that neighborhood.
The company has put in a whole new
front at considerable expense, wnlcn
adds greatly to the beauty of the
stores Instead of having several en-
frances to the place, as in the past,
there will now be one general entrance,
% feet wide. which will be much more
convenient to the hundreds Of purchas-
ers who throng the store daily. This
entrance has a tiled veStibule and pre-
sents an imposing entrance. On each
side there are four i'm mense show WIN
dows, each % feet long, and two small
show windows. To make a display liz
these windows will alone take much
larger supply of material than most
stores usually have in stock. The win
dow dreSserS will be at work today,
and il is their intention to make one
of the prettiest displays ever seen in
the city. BY the arrangement and the
addition of the show windows consid-
cradle more sunlight is admitted to the
store, at the same time giving more
room to the ever-enlarging depart
ments. All OF the windows and the
vestibule are to be Illuminated by
electricity.
