EXPOSITION SCULPTURE.
Pam American Has the Best Ever
Seen at Show,

In It's Sculptural adornment, as well
as in several other respects, the Pan
American Exposition will far surpass
any enterprise of the kind ever held.
There are over 125 splendid original
groups, and they are to be used around
the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade
and the Electric Tower. They will
symbolic the purposes OF the build.
ings and exhibits and bring out the
poetry in what to many may seem ex-
ceedingly prosalc things.
After crossing the Triumphal Bridge,
which is the grand formal entrance to
the main court and is itself to be dee
see to the right and left, at opposite
ends OF the Esplanade, the fountains
and the sunken gardens in front Of the
United States Government and Uorti
culture buildings respectively.
The Fountain OF Man, by Charles
Crafty, Is the central fountain at the
east of the Esplanade, and 1t is ianked
by the Fountain OF Prometheus and
the Fountain Of Hercules. The sub
jects of other fountains in this group
will be the Savage Age, the Despotic
Age and the Age Of Enlightenment. At
the other end Of the Esplanade the
Fountain of Nature, by George T..
Brewster, is the most elaborate sculp-
tural adornment, and the idea of this
fountain is amplified in minor ones,
such as the Fountain of KrOnOs FOun-
tain of Ceres and the groups typifying
Mineral Wealth, Animal Wealth, etc.
These symbolic ideas will be worked
out in beautiful forms in other parts Of
the main court and in connection with
the Electric Tower and other buildings,
the whole forming a most complete and
harmonious expression of the purposes
of a great Exposition, such as the Pan
American.

So hold it gently that it may live,
Lest your hands ask more than my hands can give.

To bring you to good, to keep you from harm;
Ii has no mission, yet let it be;
The rest were for you, but this is for me!

Her Seven Stages.

1t is held by writer on woman that
the seven stages of woman's life may be
reckOned as composed Of multiples Of
seven. The first seven years are infancy,
the second seven childhood, the third sew
en- girlhood, and the fourth seven bring
fully developed womanhood. The fifth
seven-that is, from the age of % to So
may be looked upon as the infancy Of
age, for during that period one learns to
exercise the faculties and perceptions
that have developed in the preceding
years. Until the age of AZ the lessons go
on and character is being matured and
fixed. After that few changes are made
In the real person. Slight varieties and
variations of opinion are likely to occur,
but nothing deep or vital to transform
the life.

great enterprise has been thus far run
on schedule time II can be seen that
ne confidence existing In the ability
Of the management to open the gates
on May l upon a completed and per-
fectly embellished creation is justified.
The financial prospects of the Expo
sition are all that could be desired.
The advertising it has received Is al
ready bringing forth fruit, and an un-
precedentedly large attendance is now
as certain as anything can be which
belongs to the future.
Seen from the distance Of three
quarters of mile away the Exposi-
ton grounds present the appearance Of
a grand and beautiful city, and when
all is complete and winters frost has
given place to the sunlight and warmth
of summer the charm of the scene will
be such that the impression given will

MAGNET FOR FARMERS.
Great Display In the Division of Az
ricuIture at Exposition.

The prominent display in the Divi-
sion OF Agriculture at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition will be the magnet that
will attract progressive farmers. Here
they can learn what their brother
farmers are doing to tighten labor and
improve the products of the fields. The
exhibit will embrace all phases Of ag-
ricultural work, showing the advan-
tages Of different processes and meth
DDS of work and the products of the
garden and field in their great variety
under all sorts of conditions. Under
their proper classifications will be
shown methods of fertilization. farm
management and processes, expert
ments with various crops in different
soils, climate, ETC.; reports from diff
ferent states and provinces showing
the aggregate of crops and products Of
all kinds; exhibits Of all products Of
the farm and garden. This will be a
splendid school of instruction for the

And faded flowers,

A light, whereat his lips will part
And smile for kindness as he takes

TO THE PYRAMIDS BY TROLLEY.
The Ride from Cairo Through a Rich
Farm Land.

Cleveland Moffett, in McClures Magazine
L fear biographies and picture books have
half spoiled the pyramids for many of us
by making them seem commonplace, Just
as children's readers have spoiled some
good English poetry. Then Mark Twain
has set the fashion of being funny about
these venerable piles, and. between the
two influences, first impressions are apt to
be disturbed. There are tourists who ar
rive with a fippant Hello, Cheops old
boyi" There are others who give only toll
Grant interest, as if they had seen ii all
before. Yet many of both classes go away
finally in reverent silence, wishing people
had taught them lessor more-about the
of dust and heat, in which the picture
book makers have surely misled us for do
they not represent the pyramids as stand
ing out on a burning waste. with only
naked palm tree every mile or so to keep
the glare off, and individuals in queer hats
gasping about, half smothered in the
sandstorms? AS a matter of fact, the sew
en-mile drive from Cairo TO Cheops comes
off as pleasantly as a carriage ride out of
Long Branch. and is over as good a road
The whole avenue, furthermore, is shaded
by lines Of acacias not a whit less inviting
than those of the famous Bots de Boulogne
and cool breeze blows down them that
you scarcely feel the sun. As you roll along
behind two Arab grays (what horses they
have, to be sure, in this wonderful city of
CairoD, your eye is gladdened by tropical
gardens. beyond which spread the varying
greens of the rich Nile valley, for the old
river covers this whole verdant plain in
July and August, and all but laps the base
of Cheops. In the whole world there are no
richer fields than these that reach beyond
the pyramids, fields giving three or four
crops a year-wheat, Indian corn, grass.
whatever the Arab husbandman puts
down. Desert there is, no doubt, to the
west and south, the Libyan desert and the
Great Sah-ra; but certainly none as you
come out from Cairo.

IN determining the question what shall

our world relations have expanded vastly

you must expand your police force. III
there is to be a navy at all it should be
commensurate with ali these extended re-
lations and demands. We are the richest
nation of the world, with larger income
than any other. If, then, the size OF our
navy should correspond to our national
and international size. and we have the
cash on hand, it would seem the simplest
good business sense, the simplest good
business care of our own interests to In
crease the navy, and whether this shail
