II Is now possible to 90 somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
ings OF the Pan-Amercan Exposition.
The most advanced Of the buildings d

$50 feet the four facades are so bro
ken by architectural TEXTURES that
there is nothing OF nonotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
tune to visit the grounds during this
advanced stage OF Development unhcs-
itatingly applauds the happy results Of
both the architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have a
correct understanding let me first de-
scribe the nodded work With which the
exterior OF the building is ornamented
By means of the very ingenious pro-
duction known as staff, which is made
out OF white plaster. into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed In order to make 1t tough and
durable. the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance OF Solidity. and
massiyeness as well as the beauty OF
richly carved stone. But, since the
material is not stone, the idea OF add
ing color to the work has been suggest
ed. How to apply the color so that 1t
would heighten the beauty Of the work
has taxed the ingenuity of the most
famous mural painter Of the world.
Mr.. Charles 7. Turner Of New York.
The very intricate character OF the
stan work and the vast amount Of 1t
in delicate designs offered a most for
bidding task. All four of the broad
facades OF the building have an arcad-
cd effect. Every window is deeply
recessed arch. with wide softits aud
castings. Every entrance is composed of
one or more high arches, with massive
pillars at the sides, and every pillar
and plaster Is of very elaborate detail.
Every window is grilled and finished
with fidelity to the most artistic ideas
of architects Of the Spanish renais-
sance. from which the general archi-
tectural scheme of the Exposition is
derived.
Ar tho four corners of the great
building are four towers. with open
pavilious. 80 feet above the ground.

singing, a troop of bowling balloons
had come over the trees, and were max

Shields, who was not acquainted with

that?' Not knowing very well what
was saying, replied: Tigers" Are
they very near?" Very" said I, and

awake half the night, expecting to be

''Fear?" replied the youngster. 81
never saw fear. What is it?'' Nelson
was still at school when he was sum-
moned to join his ship. The parting
with his elder brother, William, was the
first of those privations which every
sailor must suffer. But if the good-by
at school was painful, how much more
so must have been the farewell with his
grandmother! AS she beheld him,
dressed in the smart midshipman's uni
form, did she realize that the lad before
her would, contrary to all expectations,
take to his profession with enjoyment
and, within about a year, shake off fit
of depression by saying: 81 viii be a
hero, and brave every danger!" Did she
see in the upright figure the future

aIleled in history, were to call forth
blessings from men and women of every

DIGGING a FORTUNE.

Hank Bowers did not for a moment
imagine that the big bowlder had fallen
by accident. On the contrary he real
lied it had been purposely rolled there
to prevent his ingress. 1t followed,
then, that he had been seen app. oach-
ing the cliff.
There must be some sort OF valley
behind this ERE Cliff he concluded. as
he stood measuring the distance to the
top of the obstructing stone with his
eye, IAN that Teller won't keep me out
of it long
With confident air he retraced his
steps to the opening and removed the
packs from his horses. Then he took
a coil of rope on his arm and entered
the cleft once more.
Bowers had been a cowboy once and
was an expert with the lasso. He had
noticed a sharp spur on the upper side
of the barrier, and with dexterous cast
he iooped his rope around it at theirst
attempt. Then with an agility really
remarkable in so large man he drew
himself up about 20 feet. until he was

The daylight dies adown the sky.
Bringing the hour of rest,
The weary wild birds slowly fly
To seek their sheltering nests.
Across the billowy sea of foam
The white-winged ships draw near,
To reach the haven meath the hill
Ere the first stars appear.
It is the hour man 1oyeth best
OF all earth's passing hours,
When vrgper bells ring loud and clear
From many & wayside tower,
And falls the dew blessing sweet
Where myriad blossoms grow,
While kindred tongues in joy repeat
The tales of long ago.
How soft and low the breezes blow
On every hill and lea,
Within the dell the bird, notes ring
From every wayside tree.
The crickets chirp their pleasing notes.
Where meadow grasses grow,
