Paris. The way the different sections
of the exhibition thread their way
through bits of real Paris on both sides
of the Seine is one of the most charm
ing features, but what appeals to me
and gratifies me most is the undoubted
fact that Chicago has set the pace for
Paris. the mother of exhibitions. The
whole system has been revolutionized
by our worlds fair, and France has
realized that she must plan hers in the
future on similar lines to attract the
worlds interest. This she has done.
The old Palais d'Industrie, which
hitherto was considered adequate, has
been torn down and splendid buildings
have been erected similar in effect to
ours. Paris has utilized the water eff
feet as we did. and has expended money
on space in n manner hitherto un-
dreamed of.
But beautiful as il all is, I do not
consider that they equal us. There is
certainly no view comparing with ouR
Court of Honor.
I'm another way has France initiated
us, namely, the way in which women
are now recognized. For the first time
in France woman is on the commits
sion. And women will be placed on
every jury which will have to decide on
all industries in which women are di-
rectly or indirectly interested. This
is a great step in advance. Numerous
women's congresses will be held begin
ming in June.
The chairman on the women's con-
gress here has just appointed Mrs.
Charles Henrotin, of Chicago, the dele
gate-at-large for America, to secure
:he participation of the American
women"

BEAUTIFYING THE HAND.
It's Symmetry, Appearance
and Strength.

To increase the strength, symmetry
and incidentally the beauty of the
hand, devote ten minutes before you go
TO bed TO muscle bending and stretch
ing. Extend both arms at right angles
10 the body, the backs of the hands
turned upward. In this position the
hand is TO be bent upward, downward
and sideways. With fingers first to-
gether and then extended and without
moving the arm, bend the hands up
ward, from the wrist as far as possible,
then back to the original position, then
downward as far as possible. For the
sideways movement bend alternately
toward the thumb side and the little
finger side. Continue this swinging of
the hands upward, downward and side
ways for some minutes.
Hand rotation next follows. In this
the arms are held as for the bending
and stretching exercises. With even
and constant movement the hand per-
forms all the previous motions, that is,
from the bending position upward into
the bending position sideways, down.
ward, sideways in the opposite direc-
ton, and so on; first the fingers are held
together and then extended.
Finger bending and stretching comes
next. With arms extended the fingers
are slowly but vigorously bent enough
to form a fist, and are then again
open forcibly.
For finger spreading, hold the tips of
the fingers apart, with arms extended
as before, and perfectly straight. Aft
er the spread the extended fingers are
brought together again, or are tightly
clenched, this latter action increasing
the effect of the exercise. Both the
muscles of the hand and of the forearm
are exercised by these movements, and
after due time if there is not notice
able gain in suppleness of wrist, con-
tour of arm and shapeliness of the
hand there is only one reason for it,
you are looking for results little toe
soon.-N. Y. Sun.

N1BBLED AT POKER CHIPS.
Joke of a Philadelphia Merchant Al
tho Expense of sportive
Employees.

Business sometimes drags during the aft.
ernoons down among the Water street
wholesale houses, and on the principle that
when the cats away the mice will play the
clerks often amuse themselves with quiet
little poker games, says the Philadelphia
Record. The proprietor of a tea and coffee
warehouse left the other day about three
o'clock. But he changed his mind about
two hours later, and discovered four of his
trusted employees engaged in game of poker.
They were caught dead to rights, and there
was nothing to do but bluff it out. There
wasn't anything going on" explained the
banker, $50 we thought we would try little
poker-just for fun, you know"
As matter of fact, they were playing a
25-cent limit game, and in lieu Of chips grains
of raw coffee represented five cents each and
roasted coffee grains were 25 cents. III
just sit and watch you for awhile, said the
merchant, who is something of sport him
self. He pulled chair alongside the fellow
who had the most coffee in front of him,
and the game proceeded. At intervals he
would reach over, pick up couple of roast.
ed grains and chew them, meditatively. AT
the end of half hour he had eaten $3.7t
worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner
could make no protest. When he finally
left the store there was twinkle in his eye
The banker hasn't succeeded in getting his
affairs Strengthened out yet.

PRETTY BACK YARDS.
DweIIers In cities Need Not BE with
out nn Attractive Spot Rescm-
bling n Real Garden.

Even if country garden is denied
us it is possible to obtain much pleas
ure with what we possess, and it is
surprising that the back yards of city
houses are the forlorn, neglected
places that they generally are, at
best being only square grass plot
utilized for drying clothes, and a
narrow border planted with few
struggling perennials. If there. are
children in the family sometimes
abortivej' '5ttempts are made at flow
er bed. AS the majority of people
who own town houses seldom leave
the city before the middle of June,
returning by the middle of Septem-
ber and as the head and bread-winner
of the family practically stays all
summer in town, it is a wonder that
these back yards are not generally
made beautiful by a little care and
attention, especially as the dining
room windows are apt to overlook
the inclosure. Not infrequently there
is either small porch or balcony,
where it would be pleasant to sit if
the outlook were attractive.
Where two houses of the same cali
ber back up against each other in
adjacent streets, the space left open
is an elongated square 25 feet wide.
This might, if properly utilized con-
tain much beauty and sweetness. If
the clothes posts are a necessity they
could despite the laundress' prob
able objection) be arranged so as to
leave the center space free. If there
is an even brick wall the task of rem
dering it beautiful is an easy one.
Generally, however ugly board walls
form the boundaries, but it is pos
sible to get over this difficulty with
the aid of the wire netting which is
used for chicken yards and which
could be quickly covered with vines

HOW TO HANDLE BEES.
Description of n self-Hiver and
swarm Catcher which Are
Grent Labor savers.

In an apiary of 60 colonies or more
it frequently happens that several
swarms issue simultaneously and, of
course, always cluster together in one
huge mass. If the queens are at large
with the bees the cluster will neces-
suri7y be hived as one swarm, and the
queens will kill each other, until only
one survives. To prevent this loss, a
week or so before swarming time !
slip a queen trap on the hive entrance
of each populous colony. just word
about attaching the queen trap. The
directions which accompany the traps
are to fasten it to the hive with two
nails. Now, it is not the best thing for
the beekeeper or his neighbors to ham,
mer on a beehive that is boiling over
with bees, so l invented the contriv-
ance herewith shown Gig. ~, which
consists of two small pieces of fiat iron
bent at right angles and fastened to the
trap with two screws. To affix the
trap to the hive, slip the fasteners un-
der the alighting board. No matter

how many bees are clustered all over
the trap, it can be removed in an in
stant without even jar; when swarm
issues the queen remains in the trap
confined in an apartment by herself.
l then remove the old hive and place
an empty one in its stead, also remov-
ing the queen trap with the queen, and
then sit in the shade and watch results.
Invariably the swarm will return in ten
to twenty minutes and enter the empty
hive, for the bees mark the location
and come back to their old stand after
they have missed their queen. / then

of bees could not all enter, so would

bees and queens together, but that
seemed to make little difference.

growth, but which could be planted
at the same time.
If there are children in the fam
fly an arbor is a source of great pleas
ure as playhouse, and might form
the center of the wall. This also
could be constructed OF the wire net
ting, if supported by wooden frame,
and should have small table in the
center, surrounded by wooden
bench. A pretty and effective group
ing for either side of the summer
house would be sunfiowers, holly
hooks, lilacs and, as the autumn
and spring should chiefly be consid-
cred, chrysanthemums and the bril-
liantly towering shrubs that bloom in
TIE early spring. 1t is possible to en-
Joy the lovely procession of bulbs in n

cinths, daffodils and tulips all come to
maturity before the exodus to the
country begins, while in the autumn
the garden will be gay in geraniums
and later summer flowers until frost.

Swine should never be kept in a close

kept in a small lot. think that every

good shelter from rain and snow, both
summer and winter. For winter shell
ter prefer small house three or four
feet high made of logs or boards, and
as near wind-Proof as possible. II
should be large enough only for six or
eight head. Blue grass is the best fall,
winter and spring pasture we. have
here, but clover is the best for late

been tried here till this season, and il
may take the place of clover to some
extent,-D. Il. Dunihue, in Farmers

MRS. PALMER PLEASED.
Americas Honorary Commissioners to
the Paris Exposition Received
with Distinction.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, of the American
general commission to the exposition
at Paris. is the only woman among the
commissioners whom the different
countries of the world have sent to
France.
Her position, therefore, is one of ex-
ceptional interest and attracts much
attention. She was one of the centers
of attraction in the opening cere-
monies at the SALES des Fetes. After
the ceremonies she repaired to the
American pavilion in time to see Presi-
dent Loubet pass on the river.
To the press representative who
asked her for her impressions Mrs.
Palmer said: "Of course this is charm
ing. We all knew it would be so in
