The PanAmerican Exposition is well
worth crossing the continent to see. The
buildings here, excepting those erected by
the government for its exhibits, are in
variegated tints the very opposite of the
white city at Chicago. Opulent contrasts
are offered by the red tile roofs, with the
greens, yellows and other tasteful tints
of the walls, and the blues, reds, gold,
purple and other rich hues used in the
decoration of the pavilions, archways,
cornices and towers of the Spanish re-

buildings are tremendously constructed.

Betting and Oranges.

4 favorite way of betting in China
is with oranges. This goes on at the
fruit stalls and also in private houses.
The bet is on the number of seeds in
an orange. Sometimes it is as to
whether the number is odd or even
and at others as TO the exact number
of seeds the orange contains. If at a
fruit stand the dealer viii pay the
lucky guesser five times his debt, but
the loser must pay the value OF the
orange and also five times as much as
he has wagered. Quail-dghting and
cricket combats are also sources of
great interest TO the oriental sporting

The boat left st. Louis Sunday morn

Bordeaux mixture containing three

also true Of bordeaux containing two

prevented and the texture and size of
the fruit were decidedly improved by
two and three applications. The spray

seven years James Foust, formerly Of

In the Civil War Foust had all the back

supposed to have been buried with his
dead comrades, but he recovered con-
seriousness and pulling himself out Of the

the darkness and became lost. He was

Foust was nursed back to life after a

been trying for several years TO get a

Notes Ahnnt the Ror,e.

Allow a horse a reasonable time to
rest after feeding.
1t is within the reach of every farm
er to breed good horses.
Mares bred in the fall will endure
good service without injury.
A dumb, stupid cot can never be ed
ucated to be a valuable horse.
A good colt is a product not affected
by weather, hot, wet or dry.
Size, form, bone and constitution
must be regarded first in breeding.
Let the heels be cleaned every night.
Dirt or filth if allowed to cake causes
sore heels.
While horses need good. wholesome
food, it should not be all of the fat pro-
ducipg kinds.

original Idea ADout Asparagus.
4 consensus of opinion in regard to
cutting asparagus, as noted in Nee
hans Monthly, seems to be that from
the first starting of the plant in spring
the weaker shoots should not be cut,
but left to produce the LEAKAGE so neces-
sary for the production of strong roots.
One gardener makes the novel sugges-
ton that the very best success in get
ting frst-class, asparagus is to select
the plants all of one sex. His plan has
been to set 1-year-old plants in a bed
rather closely together and mark the
berry-bearing or female plants for the
permanent bed These, he says, have
always borne strong shoots far superior
to the beds Of the usually mixed sexes.

all it's influence to tide over the danger.
