An Interesting Discovery.

An Interesting discovery has reward ed the researches of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has always lurked a suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room, which is in the center of the east wing of Wren's famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dec- orattve artist, Verrio, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735, owing to stupendous act of vandal, ism, which, it is presumed. was car- ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735, probably to prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known by the ex. traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging. In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Ken singtOn palace, II was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had Seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice, dressed in purple lined with ermine. Over her head Is a crown. held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorical figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty. etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Yerrio in the same manner
 the subject being Queen Anne'a apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the tour great quarters of the globe.

 4 PARIS EXPOSITION NOVELTY
The limitation Voyage Which May Dc
 Taken on the Grounds.

Possibly the most striking of the many novelties which will be offered to the visitors at the coming Paris ex' position will be the "Mareorama.' az it is called. This is great mock ocean steamer. It is arranged pre- cisely like one of the transatlantic yes sels, has crew and captain, and even the motion of a ship speeding ,et5lEa the waves. It does net move fr5-.
 spot on which it is erected, but
 those on board the illusion promisl
 to be perfect. The passengers are sup- posed to be on journey from Mar seilles to Constantinople, and as the last bell sounds "all ashore" the harbor of Marseilles seems to recede from the vision, the vessel passes out to sea, end all of the scenery of the coast passes in view. This is done by a large number of paintings which unroll in panorama fashion, and are so re- alistic that the observers, if not over critical, may really imagine that they are taking the sail The vessel rocks and throbs as if it were really on the ocean, and this is brought about by the machinery which gives the vessel the required motion, Meals are served and if you are not careful you viii find your soup in your lap. Genuine sear sickness will be the portion of all pre- disposed to that ailment, ana 1t will be almost as if the actual voyage were taken, except that it will last but a short time. The coast of Algiers, Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean sea will pass before the eyes of the passengers, and at last, the Golden Horn, the port of Gonstantinople will be entered The painting of the pam orama has been entrusted to Hugo d,Alexis, a graphic artist who has de- picted the scenes in all their natural beauty. It will be a cheap and speedy method of making the journey not to mention the novelty of experiencing all of the pleasures and some of the Qualms of long sea voyage, without the least danger of shipwreck.

FORTUNES IN HARD WOODS.

the Past Year.
 The hardwood business has increased to such mammoth proportions in the fast decade that Chicago is unqHestion- ably the largest consuming market in the world. The receipts so far this year indicate that by January there will have been placed in the forty diff ferent yards fully 100000 900 feet, valued at upward of $30,000, ,00O. The largest consumers of this vast amount of hardwood are the BIO furniture fac tories, the many piano and organ makers, the agricultural machine man. utacturers, the palace ear works and the building interests. An inventory completed a week ago showed 30.000,- 900 feet in stock at the Pullman yards. European demand for black walnut takes nearly all of the limited supply of that wood, leaving only enough to meet the piano and organ require ments. Indiana and Ohio, the best forest states in the country, wasted more of this valuable wood in rail fences and in fires than the value of the remainder of their trees, and those states are now being secured for the rails, which can be made into table legs and similar pieces. One tree near Goshen, Ind, recently sold for $5,000, and eighty trees brought $20,000. Four trees shipped to Europe sold for S10,- 900. The Indiana sycamore Is valuable, finishing in bright red with bird's-eye dot It Is used mostly for small fancy boxes. White walnut Is used mostly for carvings for churches and finishing for expensive residences. Butternut and chestnut form most of the cofanA Chicago Chronicle.

TRANSPORTATION OF MONKEYS
organ Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here Nowadays.

A man who had missed the mon keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets, and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels managed by two persons, for the old-
 .oned smaller hand-organ, that
 carried about by the player, found 4p5n inquiry that. whatever influence he changed conditions might have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by city ordinance There are, how ever. places in which the monkey still forms valuable part of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing a fancy hat, which it doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors, and hops up on porches quite in the old familiar way, in search of eontribu- tions While monkeys are not per mitted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ grinders who can use them else where; and well-trained monkeH sometimes brings as much as $50. It had seemed, with fewer monkeys In sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported. but the fag appears to be that, if anything. tsS importation is just now rather greata than usual, due to the increased de- mand from the show people, who are, after al the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; a few, comparatively, are sold for zo- ological collections, and in recent years few have been sold for pets: but the largest buyers of monkeys are the travelling shows of which there are, besides the great, modern, consoli- dated shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together, and these shows use up good many monkeys. The life of monkey on the road is usually but a single season The show renews it's stock of monkeys avery year.

THE CHILD,S MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In.
 dnstriaI Life.


 dustrial Life.
 Expand the child's mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides of life. Take htm today to studios and let him see how pictures are made; next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to a brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The attenuation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When travel is possible we should give the child glimpses Of mountains and sights of the sea. and let him become ac- guainted with mountaineers and fisher- men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen, so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of peopla and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind Is worth far more than theoriz- ing In school books. It is not particu- iarly interesting to a child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily com forts--to the farmer, the baker, the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth. the whole history of the objects about him is re- yealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through 1t all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which Is more useful than gratitude upon general principles,-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Womans Home Companion.

CHEATING THE RooKMAKERa
New Form of swindIe That Is in Vogue
 at the Race Tracks.

at the Race Tracks.
 The race track bookmaker has trou- b1es of his own. The outside public that attends the races casually and pro- vtdes the money that keeps the racing ball rolling is apt, in the philosophical mood which generally eharaeterizes the journey home, 10 conclude that the men who lay the odds have a snap" But it's not so. Many are the contriv- ances by which the really knowing ones among the followers of the races manage to secure for themselves a very large slice of the money gathered Tn by the bookmakers. Innumerable are the conspiracies eoncocted by horse owners, jockeys and professional "pun- tersa to outwit the ring" and not a lew of them are successful. Moreover, such is the nature of their business that the bookmakers are to a great ex- tent at the mercy of their own en- ployes New means of fraud are spring. ing up every day that keep them think ing to circumvent and which seriously deplete their treasury. One of the lat
 
 from it's victims the attention 1t de- serves. When a bet is made with a bookmaker the fact is recorded on his sheet with the number Of the better's admission badge. After the race has been run the maker Of winning wager has only to show his badge i'll order to receive his winnings. In the hurry and excitement that precede a race 1t is all | most impossible for the man who takes | the bets to keep an accurate mental record of them all; he manages to re- tain a rough idea of the amount of money he risks on each horse, but of | the individual bets, especially the track. and 1t is just here the opportun- ity arises for this new sWindle. For weeks persons wearing admission badges have been frequently approach ed toward the end Of the day by men who ask for the badges, managing to give the impression that they are en- thusiasts of the kind that collect post age stamps or theater programmes. They are generally successful in their quest. for there are many who go to the tracks who have no use for the badge after they enter the gates. or at most, after they have tried their luck in the ring on one or two races The num- bered badge secured, the swindler, for such he is, makes for the betting ring, and while the race is being run sides up to the particular sheet writer with whom he Is in eollusion. He keeps his eye on the finish, and the moment the winner has passed under the wire he whispers the horse's name to his con- | federate and the sheet writer records a bet Of as large an amount as he thinks safe on that horse. at the same time taking down the number of the admis- sion badge the other has just man. 1 aged to beg from an unwilling out sider. A moment later, when the mak- l CTS or winning bets line up in front of l the bookmaker's stand to secure their cash the chap with the outsiders badge is sure to be found occupying q promi- nent place in the line. By this ruse, which is being worked with great in- i dustry just at present, a single book maker might be cheated out of any thing from s5 to $50 a day if his em- l ployes are disloyal to their trust.-New l York Sun.
