THE LIBERAL ARTS.
NOTABLE EXHIBIT TO BE MADE AT
THE. PAN-AMERIcAN.

Vast Field Covered by the Exhibit
and the Methods to BE Followed In
Its Illustration mt the Exposition at
Buffalo Next summer.
The building which is to house the
exhibit in manufactures and liberal
arts at the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will be one of the most i'm
posing in the splendid group surround
ing the Court of Fountains. This build
ing is 500 by $50 feet. with a central
court and having dome 30 feet in di-
ameter over the entrance on the south.
Manufactured products and those IL
Illustrating the liberal arts are so closely
allied that they naturally are classified
in the same general group, and at the
great expositions of recent years they
have been housed under the same roof.
Under the general classification of lib
eral arts are included such subjects as
those of education and social economy,
books, periodicals, scientific apparatus,
hygiene and sanitation, musical instru-
ments, public works, civil engineering,
constructive architecture. photographs
and Photographic supplies. medical,
dental and surgical apparatus and 9TH
er branches of intellectual activity. In
deed it is the most progressive and no.
bic of the tendencies and achievements
of this age of enlightenment and civili-
zation which are represented in the ex-
hibits OF this division of great expo
sition.
The work of collecting and classify
ing the Liberal Arts exhibit for the
Pan-American Exposition is now we'll
under way and is in charge of DR.. Sc
linn II. Peabody, whose successful ham
ding OF the same division at the great
Columbian Exposition of 1898 marks
him as the best qualified man on the
American continent for the discharge
of such task
The exhibits of the Liberal Arts divi-
sion as well as those OF other depart
ments will be concentrated and repre-
sentative rather than vast in extent
and exhaustive in scope Most Crafty
ing progress has been made since the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in methods of
education in the public schools. univer-
sites and colleges ofsthe United States
and other Pan-American countries. The
educational exhibit will give special
attention to exemplifying this great
progress and showing the present state
of our educational institutions. 1t is
the intention to have models prepared
representing the equipments of schools,
colleges andRuniversities. The exhibit
made by the United States in the Paris
exposition will be removed to Buffalo
for the PanAmerican and will be sup
plemented with additional exhibits.
Closely related to the educational ex-
hibit will be those in social economy
and in hygiene and sanitation. Under
the head OF social economy will be in
Guided such subjects as charities and
correction. cooperative associations
and trades unions. apprenticeship and
child labor. protection of workingmen
in factories and mines, workingmen's
dwellings. etc.

tance. and great progress has been
made within a decade along this line.
Indeed it may perhaps be said that the
subject has become almost a science in
itself, and certainly in its relations to
the daily life of the people its fmpor-
lance cannot be too much emphasized.
The exhibit at the Pan-American Ex-
position, which is under the immediate
supervision of DR.. Jacob s. Otto, an au-
thority in this branch of science. will
comprise such subjects as physical cul-
ture, and the apparatus used in various
institutions for this purpose-hospitals
and dispensaries. boards of health-and
their functions, foods, their chemistry,
preservation and adulteration; mechan-
ieal methods of sanitation and sanitary
architecture. The improved methods
introduced into municipal departments
in recent years will be shown as graph
ically as possible. In many cases mod
els viii be used for this purpose. Maps
and models showing the disposition of
garbage in cities and the cremation of
the dead viii be features of the exhibit
in this division. Sewer drainage will
also form an important part of the
exhibit. Especially timely, in view
of the tenement house investigation
recently conducted by a state COM
sion appointed for that purpose, VIII

thing to Think About.


thing to Think About.
Two women in the early part of the
last century lived in Virginia. They
were noted for their common sense
and many of their sprightly sayings
are quoted and enjoyed TO this day.
They We're both Methodists, and their
house was place of resort for the
clergy of that denomination. OF one
of the women, known as Aunt Sally,
the following story is told;
She had black silk dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. 1t seems that once.
while conference was being held near
her house, n Methodist minister who
lad enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying goodby ventured to Telnon-
strate against her use of costly APP
parel.
We'll, Aunt Sally said he, you
have been very kind to me and my
wife during our stay at your house.
and we appreciate your Kindness. We
shall never forget it. But, my dear
sister, before parting with you l must
say that it has troubled my wife and
myself very much to see you a dew
otee to the fashion of the world. L
notice with pain that you wear your
silk dress every day to church, con-
trary to the rules of our order, and l
hope that hereafter you will refrain
from such a display of worldly mind
edness. l also hope you will pardon
me for calling your attention to it,"
MY dear brother" said Aunt Sally,
81 did not know that my plain black
silk was troubling anybody. 1t hangs
up there behind the door, and as it
needs no washing it is always ready to
slip ON when company comes or when
1 go to church, and find it very
handy.
''But. my dear brother, since you
have been plain with me L must be
plain with You. Since you and your
wife have been staying here l and my
cook have some days had to stay ut
home ana be absent from church be-
cause we We're doing up the white
dresses OF your wife that she might
look well at the conference. Pardon
me for explaining, and when you and
your wife come this way call again.

1HE HAPPY TIME.

The man who cannot rest today,
But sa. he win tomorrow,
Finds, w.ien his work is cleared away
New tasks or sits in sorrow.
The merry time. the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more 10 do.
The man who folds his hands today
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
has neither rest Of heart nor mind,
For he that locks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest of sweet leisures joys,
But borrows doubt and dread.
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps life's poor little ills away
And finds new cares TO borrow.
The merry time. the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is every day for him whose hand
Is turned each day 10 fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.

A Blood Trouble
That VinOl Cures.

We do not want to frighten any of our friends
who suffer from rheumatism. but do think 1t
our duty TO remind them Of the fact that there is
a great deal of danger connected with this trouble,
in cases that mild.
Rheumatism, as most sufferers from IT know. is
due TO an excess Of uric acid in the blood. This
Joints, producing Inflammation and Irritation that
gives rise to the most excruciating agony.
So much for the suffering that comes from the
disease. but do not forget that this same poison
circulating through the blood is very apt to,
later. reach your heart. When this takes place
death eHsues instantly.
Our yinol will In many instances entirely cure
this disease 1t does it by purifying the blood, by
toning up the entire system. by giving strength to
those organs Of the body whose duty it is expel
existing poisons and by replacing in the blood life
giving properties in place of the deadly uric acid
that has been expelled. These properties OBJ

get for itself the elements it needs from the food
eaten.

Depreciation of Spanish Currency.

Vice Consul Byrne at Valencia, Spain,
has informed the State Department under
a recent date that there has been a serious
depreciation Of Spanish currency which
now stands at 43 per cent loss on gold
standard. He says the continual fluctua-
tions and general decline of currency val
ues in Spain now constitute a standing i'm
pediment 20 foreign trade, because apart
from tha actual loss to importers from de-
probation, they introduce a disturbing ele-
ment of uncertainty and speculation into
the most legitimate commercial transac-
uons. As a practical demonstration Consul
Byrne says that Valencia importers who
purchased American goods last July and
were drawn upon at sixty days date in
United States gold are now paying per
cent more in Spanish currency than the
value of the dollars at the time of the pur-
chase.
Valencia masOns struck recently for
shorter hours. and, although lacking effect
i've organization. have succeeded in obtain
ing, for the first time in that country, an
eight-hOur labor day, thereby creating a.
precedent of far-reaching effect, as it has
been followed by general strike of ma
sons and cognate trades all over Spain.

WHAT GOES UP
MUST COME DOWN.

Nothing Is more certain than that the use of So
called tonies. stimulants and medicines which de-
pend upon alcohol for their effect is Injurious to
health in the long run.
What goes up must come down and the eleya-
ton Of spirits. the temporary exhiIaratiop result
Ing from dose Of medicine containing alcohol
Will certainly be followed In a few bours by a cor.
responding depression TO relieve which another
dose must be taken
In other words. many liquid patent medicines
derive their effect entirely from the alcohol they
contain.
Alcohol. and medicines containing II sre rom,
porary stimulants and not in any sense a true
tonic. In fact Ii is doubtful II any medicine or
drug Is real tonic.
true tonic is something which viii renew re-
penish, build up the exhausted nervous system
and wasted tissues of the body something that will
enrich the blood and endow it with the proper
proportions Of red and white corpuscles which pre
vent or destroy disease germs. This Is what a real
tonic should do and no drug alcoholic stimulant
will do IL.
The only true tonic in nature is wholesome
food. thoroughly dgested. Every particle Of nerv-
Gus energy, every minute muscle, fiber and drop Of
blood is created daily from the food we digest
The mere eating Of food has little to do with
The repair OF waste tissue, bat the perfect diges

The reason SO few people have perfect digestion
Is because from wrong habits Of living the stomach

necessary TO take after meals some harmless prep

probably the best preparation Of this character Ia
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
in every drug store and which contain I'm plessant

TRIBUTE TO CAPT. DRAPER.
Action Taken by the Authorities of
OlOngapO, p. L.

Assistant Secretary Hackett has received
a copy of resolutions of sympathy adopted
by the municipality of Olongapo Philip
pine Islands, in respect to the memory of
the late Capt. H. l.. Draper of the marine
corps, who acted provost of Subig and
Olongapo for many months prior to his
death at the last-named place. In addition
to the adoption of these resolutions the au-
thorities of Olongapo decreed that one of
the principal streets of that town be named
Draper in his honor.
In forwarding the resolutions to the
Navy Department Rear Admiral Remey,
commanding the Asiatic station, says that
the late Capt. Draper was at all times
Jealous and conscientious in the perform
ance of his duties, and well deserved the
high esteem in which he was held by all
over whom he exercised command.
