wood carvings are the principal features
ct the goods exhibit.
As the products OF the different countries
are classified as exhibits and not grouped
as countries, it is rather difficult to make
comparisons as whole. In machinery
the United States aud Germany appear
to have all the best OF il and in the order
named France naturally leads in art,
some styles of pottery, gobelins and fine
furniture. Spain shows a magnificent
collection of tapestries and old wines.
Italy has that beautiful cobwebby lace
and her own peculiar style of pottery.
Russia has a whole building full of furs,
worth kings ransom. Japan, that
miracle among nations, SO lately reclaim
ed To modern ideas and now coming on
at whirlwind pace, has astonished the
world by her energy her art and her inn
agination and makes one think of early
Greece come again. The national build
ing is seventh century pagoda, and the
interior contains rare specimens OF Jap
anese art, among which the Co.'s sones
are the best known abroad. Particularly
tie nicely of the arrangement of the de-
tails and the infinite care given to the
color effects. The result is strikingly
artistic and harmonious.
1t is rather unsatisfactory to pass
SO hurriedly over so many differ

serves dwelling upon, and be com

The attendance has not as yet reached
the high water mark, but promises to

stars and stripes.

A detachment OF BRIT .roops rid
ing uiong r-.r a quie' and secluded
wood received a totally unexpected
gre tirg of shells. TIE detachment
retired without losing men, 1t is true
but with great has g. and ne total
loss of lis gnity. Then, ron a safe
distance, the scouts set 20 work 10
find out where those shells came from.
Undoubtedly there was a battery
concealed In the clump OF trees, bul
rot a man in The outfit could say just
where. II was certain that the guns
coud not be hidden mp the rees. and
nothing could be distinguished be-
tween the trunks, yet the guns were
there--and uncommonly well aimed
and well served guns, too-was an un-
pleasant fact.
Just on general principles the Brit
ish pains stakinsly dragged some guns
up the hills and patiently shelled the
woods. Not a shot was fired in reply,
and the British, confidently believing
that the Beers had ei her been killed
or made TO retreat, again advanced.
Once more there broke fcrth swirl
OF Boer shells. and once more the de-
tachment performed one OF those mas
terly retreats now SO popular in South
Africa.
II took 2 week 10 solve the puzzle
of the Boer battery. and the final solu-
ton was distressingly simple, too. The
trouble was that the Bri ish scouts
had been loling fer guns be ween the
trunks of the trees or else hidden be-

window Cleaning Made Easy.

First remove all dust, both outside
and inside. Use a skewer and cloth
to clean corners and grooves. If the
woodwork needs cleaning do this next.
If painted clean by rubbing with
whiting and cold water mixed to the
consistency OF cream, then thoroughly
rinse first with hot water and then
with cold, and dry thoroughly.
Varnfshed wood should be well
rubbed with boiled linseed oil and then
well polished with a soft duster.
The glass may be washed with clean
tepd water, 10 which ammonia
or paraffn has been added in the pro-
port on Of a Tablespoonful TO a gallon,
or cleaned with whiting like paint.
Dip the chamois i'm bowl Of tepid
water. ammonia and water. or whatever
on may be using. squeeze il almo q v.
ed rub the glass with this. rinsing it
often. After all dirt has been removed
in this manner rub dry with a clean
soft cloth and then polish with soft
paper. BE careful TO get all corners
clean.
If you prefer TO use hitting IL must
be mixed with cold water 10 n paste
about as thick as thin cream. Dip a
clean cloth in THE and polish as you
would silver. Rub of the whiting
with soft paper. and polish with clean
soft paper.
In damp weather ii is a good plan TO
add a little ammonia TO the whiting
and water, and this makes the glass
dry more quickly, and it is less trouble
TO polish.
The great secrets are to have the
cloths clean, TO use plenty Of them, and
not TO make the glass so wet that the
water drlps from it.
