little woman who is in the uphoI-
STEERING business says there never was
work of any other kind as good for nerv-
BUSINESS. She is delicate looking wom-
an, slender and not overstrong, and the
work is hard, but she Is In love with it
and says that in the fascination of work
she forgets all personal Ills and that
this is a world of sin and woe. She ham
mers away and strikes her nail on the
head every time. 1t is strange that the
part OF the work which takes her to the
sewing machine or gives her other kind
Of work sewing is the most unpleasant,
and she is apt to get, as other women do,
to feeling as II she should fly" But
with the harder work Ler nerves take
wings.
Upholstery is good work tor women,
she says, but they must have a talent for
it. She herself has always had more lik-
ing for hammer and knife than for the
needle and scissors, and the knowledge of
the work apparently came to her without
an effort. One great demand that there
is in the way Of workwomen, she be-
lieves, and for work that does not re-
quire special talent, is for slipmaking.
1t is a delicate task and must be done
well. 1t takes common sense and judg-
ment in addition to a knowledge of the
work. 1t is almost impossible, she says.

PORTO RICO's RESOURCES.
They VIII BE Exhibited Mt the Pam
American Exposition.

The enterprise of Porto Rico is evil
denced by the preparations that are
now being made for it's participation in
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffa-
10 next summer.
The residents of this new possession
of the United States are wide awake tc
the fact that their interests will be well
served by a display of the Islands re-
sources. An appropriation of $4,000
has been made for a building and an
exhibit. The building, which will have
a desirable location in the Court of
State and Foreign buildings, will be in
the form of a kiosk, one story struc-
ture, with a cupola, 80 feet in height.
The building will be constructed en-
tirely of native woods of all varieties,
the floor being of hard wood thing. 1t
will be quite imposing, the Moorish
style of architecture being followed.
In the kiosk will be shown the work
of women, such as embroidery, drawn
and lace work, ETC., In which the wom-
en- of the Island excel. There will also
be coffee and cigar stand, where Por-
to Rican coffee will be made and served
by charming Porto Rican senoritas.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1901-06-05

The kiosk will also contain the offices
Of the Porto Rican commissioners, and
it will be general headquarters for in
formation concerning the country.
The Island will have 1000 square feet
of space in the Agriculture building
and the same space in the Horticulture
building for exhibits.
Most Of the space allotted to the Is
land in the Agriculture building will be
occupied by comprehensive exhibit or
sugar. coffee and tobacco in various
stages of growth and manufacture.
Nearly every species Of plants and
trees of the Island which will bear
transportation will be sent to Buffalo
Besides everything produced and
manufactured on the Island, instruct
i've tables of information have been
prepared which will be Invaluable to
agriculturists and others intending to
invest in Porto Rico.

The first step toward clearing the COM
plexion is to see that the health is good,
and this can only be when all the func-
tons of the body act freely and properly.
The liver is the most important factor
in keeping the skin in good order, but its
activity should not be produced by drugs.
The action of the liver is best encouraged
by the free use of acid fruits, such as
oranges, lemons, grapes and apples.
Grapes may be safely eaten in abundance
if the skins and seeds are rejected. Lem
on juice and hot water taken at night will
correct any bilious tendency and purify
the skin The woman who strives after
a clear complexion will not eat pastry,
fried or greasy food of any description
or nuts When the face lacks color, eat
plenty of UNDERGONE beef and take a
small dose of iron after each meal. When
the face is too highly colored, these things
should of course be especially avoided.

Pan-American Tours.

With it's usual liberality and Thoughts
fulness for the travelling public the Maine
Central railroad is arranging some per-
sonally- conducted tours to the Pan-Amer-
lean Expedition, the first one to leave
Portland, Wednesday, June 10, and con-
tinuing every second Wednesday there
after until the close of the fair
These tours are run under the personal
management of Frank A. Elwell of Port
land, who has been specially engaged fer
this service on account Of the experience
he has had in handling similar parties on
tours abroad for the past fifteen years.
These tours give five days in Buffalo in
Guiding visit to all points of interest at
Niagara Falls, the twenty two mile trip
from Buffalo being made in special trolley
cars, and the service is frst-class in every
respect, with special Pullman sleepers,
meals served on the train en- route, and
accommodations at one of the best hotels
in Buffalo specially adapted for parties OF
this kind, as it is located near the lake
front, and not in the heart of the COM
merciaf part of the city, but where it Is
quiet, insuring rest after day of sight

nelu Is thus reduced to series of Ia
pies called water levels. These tables
are then irrigated at intervals, as re-
CURED, during the growing season, as
the water on ground thus prepared
may be made to flow even in drill
marks.
uhderdraining Is often q necessary
accompaniment which adds consider
hpiy 70 the expense, though, IL proper
iy done on suitable soil, the resultant
crops may be doubled or even increas-
ed threefold.
another great improvement in spe-
cific machinery is in facilities for han
dllng the great American corn crop in
It's varied branches, kinds and grades.
Ihls mas attained such a degree of per-
lection that crop that was once ma
nipulated entirely by manual labor is
now In some places never touched by
hand, from the planting of the seed to
the weighing Of the yield.
1t would be difficult indeed to men,
uon one item in a subject like this that
would be Of more general interest than
Others. The thousands, we might say
millions. who visit the Exposition must
each make their individual selection
and follow where their inclination
leads them. If they have time enough
at their disposal, they will, no doubt
find what interests them most, and, no
matter what it is, they will find it
represented In manner that is at once
comprehensive and valuable.

The Celts and Germans and Scandina-
VANS worshiped the mountain ash, and it
is especially in the religious myths of the
latter that the "askr yggdrasiP' plays
a prominent part. To them it was the
hottest among trees. the world tree"
which, eternally young and dewy, repre-
scented heaven, earth and hell. According
to the Edda, the ash yggdrasil was an
evergreen tree. A specimen of it grew at
Upsala, in front of the great temple, and
another in Dithmarschen, carefully
guarded by a railing, for it was, in a
mythical way, connected with the fate
of the country. When Dithmarschen lost
it's liberty, the tree withered, but a mag
pie, one of the best prophesying birds of
the north came and built its nest on the
withered tree and hatched five little ones,
all perfectly white. as sign that at
some future time the country would re-
gain it's former liberty.-Deutsche Rund-

AGRICULTURE.
HOW IT WILL BE REPRESENTED
AT THE PAN-AMERICAN.
THE MOST ELABORATE DISPLAY OF ALI
INTERESTS CONNECTED WITH
THE SOIL.

Since prehistoric times agriculture
has been the most important industry
In all American countries. In the
United States about one-half of the
population is now engaged In some oc-
cupation connected with the cultivation
of The soil. With proper consideration
or these vast and growing interests,
the managers of the Pan-American
have dedicated more than half of the
IMPOSITION space to the products of
the farm and the many articles manu.
featured therefrom.
The Agricultural building is one of
the largest and handsomest on the
grounds, while the Dairy building,
with its contents, is fair in itself.
Sixteen separate buildings are devoted
to live stock besides a model stable
that is practically and scientifically in
advance Of anything so far attempted.
Besides all this, onequarter Of the
great Liberal Arts building is devoted
to food products, and many Of the ex-
hibits in other parts Of the building
may be traced directly or indirectly to
the soil.
The Stadium with its one-quarter
mile track will be devoted at certain
times to the exhibition of live stock,
including many kinds of animals not
generally considered in the latitude of
Buffalo as belonging to the farm.
One of the most elaborate Horticul-
tural buildings ever planned stands in
a conspicuous section of the grounds,
which win be stocked with such lux
urious assortment Of fruits from every
section of North and South American
countries as to easily outclass any for
mer attempt in this direction.
Forestry is represented in a charac-
teristic building, built of logs, which is
in itself typical of natures spontaneous
outgrowth for the preservation and con-
servation of moisture. Exhibits con-
tanned in this odd structure will show
how subtle is the connection between
successful farming and proper forest
preserve.
In the windmill section will be shown
many varieties of the latest and best
samples of this useful power generator,
together with useful applications Of
this inexpensive energy to the relief
and profit of the farmer In many
branches of agricultural business.
We now come to the Machinery and
Transportation building, which is 800
feet long by $50 feet in width, every

In the Nursery.

Every nursery cannot have the ideal
heating of a CRATE or wood fireplace.
Steam heating seems expedient and there
fore has come to stay. There is no use
Of combating adverse conditions with
complaints and meanings. The thing is
to do something. If our houses are heat
ed by system which dries out the air,
making it lifeless, the question is how to
replace the lost moisture by artificial
means. We need not ask a chemist,
architect or other expert how to do it, the
simplest, most natural means in the
world-evaporation all sufficient.
Stand a shallow vessel Of water on ev-
cry radiator or in every register, and the
air of your house will be delightfully."- re-
freshing and healthful. To avoid un-
slightly effects, use ornamental vessels
for radiators of metal or porcelain and
granite dripping pans in registers or on
radiators that are out of sight. This
evaporation measure, coupled with tenn
perature not above 6S degrees, preferably
65 degrees, gives the ideal atmosphere for
comfort and health. 1t is easily secured
without expense and is attainable in ev-
cry home.

foot OF which is replete with elaborate
decorations in both design and color.
No machinery exhibit ever had such
provision made for its reception. and
no former collection in this line. wheth-
er farm or general. ever merited so
much attention.
This whole building will be alive with
motion of every known yariety-eircu-
lar, oscillating. compensating, cam, &C.
centric ellipse, epicyclic and almost ev-
cry other motion known in modern me-
chanics. Most of these intricacies will
be found embodied in the different me-
chanical movements that are instru-
mental in tightening the American
farmers labor, thereby placing him at
an advantage in his inevitable compe-
tition with cheap labor in Europe.
Machinery that is more intimately
connected with farm work Is housed
in the Stadium. as this structure alone
affords sufficient room for the size and
diversity of this exhibit. Floor space
to the amount of $4,000 square feet in
this modern coliseum is provided
with electric power for the purpose of
driving the many agricultural ma
chimes displayed in this building.
Machinery is represented here that
prepares the soil. sows the seed, culti-
Yates the growing plants, even to weed
ing the hoe crop, and finally harvests
the ripened product, separates the ker-
mel from the stalk and divides the SEEDS

the story of our modern diversified
country life In much more eloquent
manner than our vocabulary Is capaple
of doing. Besides these general divl-
sions, specific cases are carefully con-
sidered. Irrigation is such an impor-
tant adjunct to modern farming, even
in the sections that are not considered
arid, that especial machinery Is now In
practical use that few years ago was
never thought of.

Queen Victoria and Her Little Artists

When her children were in their short
frock and knickerbocker days, the queen
made them write little daily diary of
their doings, which she passed upon
nightly in the royal nursery. Often the
youngsters were hard up for copy" and
used to appeal for help to members
of the household. They repaid their
helpers by giving them sketches made by
themselves, which differed in no way
from the dogs and horses and houses of
the ordinary child. One of the house
hold, now dead, preserved some 40 or so
of these alleged drawings, and not long
since an enterprising magazine made his
widow a handsome offer for them. The
queen heard of this and sent for Lady III.
please do not dispose of Them" her
majesty said. II cannot bear to think of
things that have so many tender and
sacred associations passing into hands
other than ours"
1t need hardly be added that the
queens wishes were honored, and Lady
III. Furthermore gave the album which
contained the nursery relics to the mother
of the little artists.-Success.
