show houses of the lighter pleasures
of the exposition-are a bazaar in
themselves, and during the active
hours of the day offer fine opportuni-
ties for the study of the odd and fanci-
full effects of heterogeneous gathering
of various languages and the many
tricks of the ever fertile Snowman
AS the visitor advances along the
Esplanade circling towards the broad
white palaces of the exposition, the
beautiful facade of the main building
opens gradually to his vision, until it
finally unfolds to the full sweep of the
eye in all it's fine detail. On either
curb line of the Esplanade leading
from the entrance to the main build
ing is row of branching gaslamps
of artistic design and through the cen
ter of the way double row of lamps
of elaborate workmanship. At night
the illumination from these lamps, in
tensified by a great stream of light
from the electrical decorations on the
front of the main building and the
masses of incandescent slectrieallamps
upon the Esplanade structures them
selves, is brilliant and enchanting.
Through this flood of light from below
the 200 opalescent globes, which decor.
ate the tops of the flagstaffs on the
main building, and the hundreds of
incandescent lamps which hang upon
the cornices of the grand facade, mark
a double line of fire from above.
The Oriental flavor and mystic i'm
pressions given by the multi-colored
garments of the eastern denizens of the
Esplanade mingle in a somewhat be-
wildering but pleasing confusion with
the equally variegated beauty and
greater sprightliness of the gowns and
gewgaws OF the women of more famil-
lar countries who constitute a very
important and considerable part of the
Esplanade throng. Light and life and
gayety is everywhere, and the utter
most good humor, enlivened by the
vigorous competitive clack of the
screamer, who has always a strident
voice and many wonderful and allur-
ing stories. Such is the Esplanade to
the eye. Those who are curious to OBJ
serve what rag-time is in it's most
accumulated and terrible form listen
to the drum and samar which an
nounces to the distracted multitude in
front of the Egyptian theater the at
fractions of that enticing resort Rag
time has been described as eccentric
time in muSic-musical notes cut I'D
haphazard-but possessing possibilities
of melody as well as elements of ear
splitting evaporation. The crazy
Egyptian drum and shrill samar fur
nishes all of the eccentricities possible
to musical note and lends to the Es-
planade the diversion of rag-time run
wild. When half dozen screamers,
the brass band of the Hagenback show.
the clang of the Old Plantation bell
the harsh and inharmonious alarm of
the Cairo music and an occasional
trumpeting of the astonished elephant,
all fall upon the buoyant air of the
Esplanade at one and the same mo-
ment. the effect may be imagined; 1t
is impossible of description.
Such is the Esplanade at its noisest
climax to the ear.

AN EXHIBIT FOR FARMERS.
Great Display of Agricultural Implements
at the Philadelphia Exposition.


Philadelphia, Sept 26-Machinery
that saves money for the farmer and
enables him to economic in the matter
of time is as varied as that in any line
OF manufacture. but it is only when
the modern in agricultural implements
is brought together, from time to time,
that the sturdy tiller of the soil is
enabled to form an idea as to the ad-
vancement that is being made in the
direction of Tightening his burden by
diminishing his hours of toll and the
cost in dollars and cents of production.
An exhibition that will forcibly i'm
press upon the farmer the progress
that has been made in the past few
years along the line of soil filling and
harvesting mechanism is presented at
the Philadelphia National Export ex-
position, an entire building 100 by
$50 feet being devoted almost exclu-
sively to this purpose.
In this spacious structure are shown
the indispensable cultivator, combin-
ing every facility for producing the
best results with the least possible en-
ergy; plows that turn up the soil ac-
cording to the latest approved scientific
methods and evoke words of praise
from the plowman while he homeward
plods his weary way; rollers that give
to the ground the finishing touches
preparatory to seeding; mechanical
planters that bury the seed rapidly and
with regularity without wasting a
grain; machinery for garnering and
slowing the crops that have come as
reward for toll and enterprise, and
great wagons for carrying the product
of the soil to market.
Such in brief is the character of the
exhibit in the Exposition Implement
building, so far as it appeals to farm
ers direct. A display of road making
machines helps to solve the good roads
problem, in which all humanity is in
terested.
Vehicles, from the light, airy, rub
her tired pleasure carriage to the pom
derous farm, ice and general utility
wagon, are exhibited likewise harness
for the horses that draw them. The
exhibition is the most complete of its
kind that has been presented since
the Columbian exposition in Chicago,
and equally important from the fact
that it shows every advancement made
since 1893 in the production of farm
machinery Up to date farmers will
take advantage of this practical, in
structive and profitable object lesson in
modern mechanism for agriculturists,

William NJ. Evarts, secretary of
state under President Hayes, made
perhaps his best and his worst puns
from railway platforms while travel
ing with the presidential party.
They had assembled Mount Washing
ton by the steep cable road, and other
tourists, gathered there from all parts
of the country, called for a speech.
1--WE are not strangers" said Mr..
Evarts genially. I'VE have all been
born and brought up here"
AT another time, when travelling
through Tennessee, Mr. Evarts laid a
wager with the young people of his
party that he could make a pun upon
each town through which they should
pass. As they reached Chattanooga
the crowd clamored for a speech. Mr..
Evarts pleaded that as the train would
stop but a moment he could only make
few Chattanoogatory remarksl
The unexpected element which char
acterizes pun was marked in all the

GAIETY OF THE EsPLANADE.
Amusement Features of the National Ex-
port Exposition That Make the Place
Eaociuafi RaOork

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-The story of
the Esplanade of the National Export
exposition has so far been told only in
lighter episodes. 1t has been frequent
ly miscalled the playground" of the
exposition. In other ways it has been
referred to as "a pleasure pathway"
To be paradoxical 1t may be said that
1t is neither, yet both 1t is a play
ground for the few; 1t is pleasant way
for all who admire the picturesque
and trif1ing sidelights of great en-
terprise like the Export exposition as
relaxation from it's more serious as
poets.
The Esplanade is a name given to
the splendid broad path planned and
executed with great skill to be both

buildings and highway upon which
the places of lighter amusements open.
1t differs from the Chicago midway"
of which one is reminded by its gen.
eral appearance and suroundings-in
that it has not been thrust to one side,
but greets the visitor Immediately
upon his passage of the turnstile, and
is in many ways more attractive and
enliyening. The Esplanade is 80 feet
wide and 800 feet long, approaching
the main building of the exposition
from the South street or chief entrance
to the grounds in a graceful curve. 1t
Is divided into two parts, each 80 feet
wide, separated by series of gardens
of flowers and plants, 20 feet in width.
The native blossoms and evergreen
and choice fora from southern chimes,
with their rich colors and exquisite
beauty of texture and foliage with
which these swards are adorned, assist

landscape from the entrance gate to

The low structures. various and &C.
centric in architecture, which fringe
either path of the Esplanade, present
an irregular sky line to the eye and
the general effect is fantastic. Their
fronts are gaudy, and are decorated
with bold proclamations in gorgeous
lettering or grotesque paintings, more
noticeable for their beguiling combina-
lions OF hues and attitudes than for
their artistic merit. In keeping with
all of the details of the Esplanade the

Making a child Too Quiet.

Play is the proper and natural outlet
for child's thoughts. To restrain his
motion is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses of his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced to
be still and passive when they are
longing for action find relief in whis-
pering over stories to themselves, but
it is an unsatisfactory substitute for
dramatic action. And it is also moral
ly injurious, for the necessity of con-
cealing ones ideas destroys after
awhile the ability for fluent express
sion and brings about timldity and dis
trust of our friends.-Florence Hull
Winterburn in Woman's Home Com
panion.

SPAIN AT OUR CONGRESS.
Delegates From the Kingdom and One of
Its Lost Colonies to the Philadelphia
Trade Conference

@A0oS SOAICACDIC.
Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-The Interna-
tional Commercial congress will con-
vene at the National Export exposj-
ton on Thursday, Oct. IL. The delay
of two days in the opening of the con-
gress is due to the detention of some
CT the delegates representing the for
eign nations who are now on their
way to attend it. This commercial
congress is of great interest and vast
Importance to American trade. as it
will be participated in by delegates
from every important civilized nation
of the world and representatives of the
leading chambers of commerce from
the most important metropolitan cities
of six continents. In conjunction with
the exposition. it brings all the world
IN direct contact with the practical
demonstration of the superiority Of
American manufactures and affords
representatives from every market of
the globe an opportunity to see the adj
vantages Of trade with America by
personal inspection of products and
intellectual contact with the best rep
resentatives of American commercial
thought. It's results will affect every
artery of industry in the United States,
and cannot fail to stimulate the trade
of America Immediately and to
marked extent
The opening ceremonies themselves
will be not merely impressive. but to
some degree spectaculas, as they will
also present to those who will be able
to witness them q sight seldom Of
feFed to the gaze of the general pub
lie. This will be the appearance of all
of the diplomatic representatives of
foreign governments at present repre-
sented at Washington, in the full gold
and glory of their diplomatic costumes.
The presence of the full diplomatic
corps is mark of the highest favor
of the national government, and Presi-
dent Mckinley, either by his presence
or otherwise, will personally take part
in the opening of the congress.
1t is a matter of some surprise to
those not thoroughly in touch with the
trend of events that Spain, our recent
bitter enemy, will be represented at
the congress by number of delegates
from important commercial bodies of
the kingdom. Curiously enough among
the far eastern chambers of commerce
to send a cordial OF endorsement with
delegates to the congress has been the
Spanish chamber of commerce at Ma
Mia. The Manila delegates will no
doubt be among the most interesting
members of the congress. Notwith-
standing the troubles in the Trans
vaal, all of the South African govern
ments will be heard from by accredited
representatives during the progress Of
the congress.

Additional attractiveness is given to
the exposition In the evenings by the
fine Illumination of the Esplanade and
of the buildings themselves. The
lighting of the buildings and grounds
is important not only from a spec

fine opportunity for the study of arti-

of the systems now in use. This COM
