NOTES FROM THE PARIS EX-
POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Conn
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York.
show their usual American enterprise
by having q very creditable exhibit. To-
Gated in Group XIII. Glass 70, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
Is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
" pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that It
was favorably commented upon by Wis
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinctionof absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury 1T the Worlds Co
lumbian Exposition, in Chicago. where
Singer machines received 54 distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by al other kinds Of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any Of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
spectfully advise that they call at any
Of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns In
the United States"

.Of all the furnishings Of the writi

tention than the paper weight and
none il more expensive" said the
clerk in the stationery department of
q large jewelry store, relates the New

cases where a proceeding of this kind
can produce as high as $50 worth OF

upon the value of the dog or whatever
other animal or product Of nature il
reproduced in the paper weight.
styles in paper weights are es
varied as the tastes and financial r.
sources of writer's. The average busi-
ness man uses a weight made of 1T
tie bar of glass which costs anywhere
from five cents to one dollar, accolsi

come in silver and bronze and rarge
in value from S. to SIS. Bronze lis
most expensive. 1t is a funny thiIg,
but nothing stands SO high in favor
for a paper weight as a bronze dogsoI
lion. Perhaps this is because the t!4il
and head of these animals form such
handy projections for the fingers sto
close over when the writer reaches
out in hurry for something to cap
down on flying papers, But it II 4ot
to be inferred from the foregoing re
mark that these two specimens of Che

per weight market to the exclusior< OF
other birds and beasts. All PROMINENT
representatives of the fauna and fora
of the earth are reproduced in brohze
and are made to subserve the utiliSar-
ian purpose of holding down pap!rs.
"The workmanship on some Of
these paper weights is exceedingly
fine. and that alone brings the pfice
up to an astonishing figure. Thai Is
one reason lions come SO high-tkere

work on them. Here are two minia-
ture lions, one couchant. the other

Aren't they fine?"
The visitor gazed upon the leoaine
aspect of the rigid little beasts Sith
immeasurable respect.
But do you mean to say that peo-
pie really buy such expensive things

keep them here for fun"
