ground, lovely little chalets dot thei
surface and at nightfall the COWS ar
brought home by peasants in thei
native costumes singing their melode

heard them in our memorable drive
over the mountain passes.
In the Russian exhibit a model O
the Kremlen at Moscow and of tn
Royal Palace at St. Petersburg ar,
shown and in the German display al
entire section of the Deutschland show

France has reserved, very naturally
the lions share of the exposition fo1
her own display and she has ''dont
herself proud.' Each of her colonies
has prominent place and Titfany's
display, although exceptionally fine
pales before her magnificent collection
of jewels. Upon Worth's exhibit, per.
haps, the feminine gaze loves best tc
linger and, truly, the creations in this
department are so beautiful one can
but wonder how it would "feel' to be
"arrayed like one OF these"
One OF the many beautiful and in
terestlng things to be seen is a map of
France made in precious stones and
the Palace of Costumes showing the
evolution of dress is we'll worth visit
Lace-making, the weaving of Turkish
rugs and of straw-matting are all
shown by natives in costume also many
other industries from the making of
chocolate to the manufacture of LIQUID
air.
In the famous corn kitchen of our
own country we were furnished gratis
with what was pronounceds (sub-rosa)
the best meal we have enjoyed this
summer. 1t was distinctly American,
OF course, and consisted of Boston
baked beans, corn cakes, corn starch
pudding and griddle-cakes with maple
syrup. These were prepared by COL
ored 'mammy" in gay bandanna and
dispensed by young man and maiden
of equally dusky hue. We were pre-
sented, too, with a Heinz pickle SOU

we had most counted, such as the
Mariorama, Globe Celeste and others.
were pronounced ''fakes' by compe-
tent authority so we concluded not to
waste our time in visiting them. The
t.ltfel tower, however, built as it was
IN the face of so much opposition, is
all and more than is claimed for it.
The lace-like structure is one of the
most picturesque obi jects in Paris and
from no place else, may such magnif-
cent views of the city be obtained.

may view the grounds and city from
the different attitudes, visit the booths

found fe" feet away selling for just
one-half as much but of such is the
'spice of life
The knowing sidewalk" introduced,
1t will be remembered, by the French
at Chicago in '93 is another of the real
attractions. 1t rOtates about the en-
tire grounds and gives one an exterior
view of the exposition to be obtained
in no other way.
1t was just as funny, suppose, to
others, to watch our methods of pro-
cedure as we found it in those who
came after to see the intense express
sion with which they regarded the
constantly moving platforms as they
cautiously stepped upon the first, less
speedy one and then with half-scared
half-triumphant air flung themselves
upon the second which revolves far
more rapidly. 1t is like time and tide,

times we loated down the Seine in one

OF the metropolis to our cozy quarters

Perhaps the chief distinction be-
tween our own exposition and this lies
In the great disparity of space. Moth
