Pooling In Wedding Presents.

"What shall we give herr" That Is
a question which desolates innumera-
Bile breakfast tables when the morning
post brings the announcement Of an
approaching marriage. A most valua-
BILE precedent has been set by a batch
Of Lady Randolph ChurchilPs friends,
who dubbed together and presented
her with beautiful gewgaw in the
shape Of pearl and diamond tiara.
The example should be followed wide
ly. Individual effort is apt to fritter
itself away in superfuous salt spoons
and unnecessary photograph frames.
Given bride, it is pretty certain that
many of her friends will be friends of
one another. And how much more
pleasant for the bride and how much
simpler for her friends is the pooling
of affection in a really valuable gift!
The perennial difficulty of the wedding
present is In a fair way toward solu-

the Stadium is large building whose
upper floors will be used for restaurant
purposes. This building is 241 feet long
by 80 feet wide, with towers 164 feet
high. The architecture Is very pictur-
esque and appropriate for the use for
which it is intended.
The style is that of the Spanish Re.
naissance in conformity with the gen.
eral character of Exposition buildings.
The lower story is an arcaded arrange
ment, and the red tile roof has broad
caves. Bright colors will be used in the
further decoration of the building, and
the old Spanish towers give it finish.
ed beauty and make it one of the most
prominent features of the Exposition.
The Stadium is on the east side of the
Plaza, opposite the Midway. 1t is near
the great northern entrance to the Ex-
position, adjacent to the steam and
trolley railway stations. The Athletic
Carnival to be held in the Stadium is
intended to be one of the most impor-
tant ever held in America. 1t will
bring together many of the most ia
nous specialists in the world, who will
entertain the Exposition visitors with
their feats of strength, skill and endur-
ance. The Stadium resembles the one
built at Athens few years ago and is
intended as model of what it is hoped
some day may be executed in perma-
nent form

the American product would hardly be
recognized in the land of it's origin,
The effort will be made at this Exposi,
ton to bring to the attention of stock
growers, dairymen and unscientific
breeders of beef and dairy cattle the
advantages to be derived from the pos,
session of choicer and more efficient
breeds.
1t is said that half the dairymen in
the United States are milking cows
with no profit to their owners, while it
is possible for well bred cows, whose
milk is marketed at normal prices, ia
yield a profit of 500 per annum. This
lesson in profit and loss concerns every
one who devotes any part of his time
to dairy work.
The judging Of cattle will take place
in the Stadium, where the honors will
be bestowed and where an audience of
10000 people may witness these for.
malities. The live stock buildings will
accommodate not less than 1000 cat,
tie, and their construction is upon plans
best adapted for the comfort and con.
venience Of the animals and herdsmen.

Commissioner lde's Scheme for Safe
guarding the Currency.

For the purpose of maintaining the
existing ratio OF two Mexican silver dol
lars to one gold dollar, arbitrarily fixed
by General Macarthur last August, to
be meintained until such time as the
Philippine Commission should consider
the date had arrived for establishing a
gold medium in the Philippines, Henry
:. lde, OF the commission, introduced a
OIL which has been passed by the com.
mission, providing for a charge of 10 per
cent. on all Mexican silver coin exnorted
from the Philippines. The demand Of
China tor Mexican currency had created
expectations and threatened a derange.
ment OF business in the Philippines. The
COMMISSION passed the bill because. in
view OF existing circumstances, it seemed
ooIigatory to provide, so lar as possible
by legislation, a stable and ample cur
rency TOR the protection of business.
