HORTICULTURE EXHIBIT.
VIII De One of the Principal Fea-
lures of the Exposition.

Horticulture, viticulture and floricul-
ture are linked together in one great
class. In the midst Of a country or
orchards and vineyards the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition will have abundant
material close at hand and of the finest
quality from which to make an exhibit
worthy Of the great event. The extern
sive floral decorations of the grounds
constitute n rich display in Horticulture,
and several acres, including hundreds
Of beds. are devoted to the exhibits
made by leading florists Of the country.
Flowers in profusion will welcome the
earliest visitors and breathe out their
| fragrance and display their incompara-
I BILE beauty the season through. Thou
sands Of trees and shrubs flourish
throughout the grounds. Double rows
of thrifty trees surround the principal
buildings. Foliage and flowers there
will be in great profusion. In the hor-
ticultural establishment of the grounds
the an-American will far surpass the
efforts of all former eXpositions.
In the handsome and commodious
Horticultural Building all the popular
fruits of the different countries repre-
scented in the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton will be displayed. With suitable
refrigerating room upon the grounds, 1T
will be possible for the management to
make a daily fresh display of fruit.
Throughout the term Of the EXPOSE
ton when certain fruits are at their
best, special displays will be made OF
certain varieties. The exhibit from
southern California will be particularly
large, and New York and other states
will be represented befittingly. Bottled
productions will also have place here

central New York and Hudson river re
gions having applied for space for ex

zion that as a result of all this the VET
dict Of those who visit Buffalo next
year will be that in certain phases. and
in not few, the Pan-Amercan Expo
sition will be justly entitled TO rank
In history as the most beautiful and
successful of American EXpositions.
No one who has approached the sub
iect of Industrial Pan-America serl-
ously believes that the artificial trade
conditions now existing between Cana
da, the different Central and South
American republics and the United
States-as they affect and restrict COM
merce and communication between the
different countries-can long continue.
nor can it be controverted that great
changes for the better in these regards
have taken place during the past few
years. Indeed. greater advance has
been made during the past ten years In
the countries of the Western Henri
sphere i'm all that counts for the better
than during the 90 years preceding.
This statement, made broadly, can be
verified in detail. Ii applies to every
thing that has tended toward stability
of government, toward the betterment
and Improvement Of the people Of the
different countries, toward the build
ing up therein Of permanent national
wealth and in the direction Of utilizing
to greater degree than heretofore the
products and resources of these coun-
tries.
Governments and Export Products
of south America.
1t is true that exceptions to this
statement can be easily pointed out;
but, broadly speaking. it will bear in
vestigation and will be found to be cor.
rect. For example. with few exceptions
the seemingly unending boundary dis
putes-all of which, by the way, came
down from the old Spanish regime as
an inheritance and which have beer
for 20 years the source of untold ex
pense and of constant irritation and
oft threatened war between practically
all of the republics of Central and
South America-have been amicably
concluded. The closing days Of tn,
century find that chief source Of trou
BILE in Latin America happily reduced
to a comparatively small point. 1t II

THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION AT BUFFALO

"7F THE people of the republics
WI and countries Of Central ana
l--x South America fully realized
l.sxs-J to how great an extent misin'
formation with regard TO their several
countries exists in the United States
and Canada, the Pan-Amerlcan EXPOSE
ton would be taxed beyond its limit to
provide space for the exhibits that
would come from those countries to
enlighten the people Of the United
States and Canada concerning their
neighbors to the southwark. If, on the
other hand, the people Of the United
States and Canada knew to any APP
preclable degree of the wide opportuni-
ties for the profitable investment Of
money and energy which offer them
selves in Central and South America,
they would not require such exhibits
to awaken their interest, nor would
such opportunities long remain I'M

The Object of the Exposition.
The ideal had in view by those who
planned the Pan-American Exposition
and toward the accomplishment of
which nothing is being left undone
that energy and effort can bring about

The Heisht os IN. rahIs.

There was a certain Major Y. who
had for some years enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being one Of the widest men in
India. Making call on one occasion
on mess, he found Captain a., whom
he wanted, out, but the mess waiter as
sured him that the latter would soon
return, wherefore he waited in the an
teroom.
A few minutes later the mess SER
geant, happening to pass the window,
noticed to his surprise that Major x.
had passed into the messroom beyond
and was applying tape measure to
the mess table. Naturally considering
this an odd proceeding, he mentioned
1t later on in the day to Captain T., who
took counsel and then begged a favor
of the colonel, which was to allow an
inch to be sawed off the table legs. In
due course Major X. was invited to din
ner, and the mess was there to man.
AS was expected, during dessert he
contrived to lead the conversation on to
guessing heights, and from that to Of
fering to bet on the present mahogany
was but step. They took him on, from
colonel down to the youngest sub. Even

tation to chastise the unrighteous and

Edison and PIntinnm.

A story will serve to throw light up
on Edison's character. At one time
there was a great fear in the scientific
world that the deposits Of platinum
were about to become extinct. Edison
thereupon organized correspondence
bureau and sent letters to every Amer
lean consul upon the globe, to British
consuls in ports where the United
States had no representative and 20
scientific men in every land. The let
ter gave clear statement respecting
the metal, how and where it was found
and might be found, how 1t could be
identified and treated and much other
information.
In each letter were inclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be a
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that the letters were sent
off by the thousands, that the postage
was 10 cents to each letter and that
the pieces Of platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold, the
cost Of the achievement is readily seen.
While he did not succeed in greatly in.
creasing the output of platinum, he set
at rest all fear of its extinction and
thus earned the gratitude of every
scientific inyestlgator.-Fran Leslie's
Magazine.

Family Prayers at the JenLinse.,.

A Harlem woman recently decided
that family prayers were really neces-
sary to the proper bringing up Of her
young son Johnnie. Mr.. Jenkins, NOM
inal head Of the family, didn't exactly
see the necessity, but, Of course, yield
ed to his wife. The next morning aft
er breakfast the Jenkinses assembled
in the sitting room with feeling of
suppressed excitement ut the novel pro-
ceedings. After the Scriptural reading
they knelt beside long sofa, Mr.. Jen-
kins at one end, Mrs. Jenkins at the
other and Johnnie in the middle. Then
Mr. jenkins offered up a prayer invok-
ing the divine presence.
Jenkins prayer was long and fervent.
After 1t had continued for five minutes
johnnie got restless. decided it was too
monotonous and interrupted in his thin,
boyish voice with:
"Yes, bod; come and stay to dinner!'
Mr.. Jenkins concluded his invocation
with an abrupt "Amen" Johnnie safe
ly out of the way, he strangely remark
ed to his wife. ''That's the limit"
Family prayers have been abandoned

Anaersen,. chiIdI,ke vanity.

"uans Christian Andersen" said one
who saw him often, was the most
charming egotist I ever knew" When
the Danish crown prince brought home
his Swedish bride In the summer of
1869. a great assemblage Of people
stood In the streets of Copenhagen to
see the royal couple pass.
In one group were several distin-
yuished women and the great story
teller, Hans Christian Andersen. The
women occupied front seats at the win
dow and received marked attention
from the court dignitaries In the pro-
cesslon.
Some one in the company remarked
that this particular window seemed to
possess peculiar attractions.
"Oh. yes" said the aged poet, pleased
and happy In his seat, where he had
been seen by nobody. Everybody
knows me-"
The quiet smile that went round the
group had no trace of unkindness. His
childish vanity was one Of the amiable
traits of the gentle old man. Every.
body knew and loved 1t.

The Population of Babylon.

Various attempts have been made, by
comparing its area with that of modern
cities, to estimate the population Of
Babylon. But on the lowest calcula-
ton it would be found, supposing 1t to
have borne any considerable resem-
blance to one of our cities, to have had
a population Of 100000. supposi-
.tion to which all but insuperable OBJ
stacles are opposed. The map Of ASH
attic Turkey shows that the extent of
country around Babylon available for
agricultural purposes must have been
quite inadequate to supply the neces-
sary demands for anything like such
an immense population.
Perhaps, on the whole. we may esti-
mate the population at from 100000
to 100000. This supposition derives
support from the fact that Seleucia,
with a population Of 100000 souls, is
stated by Strabo and Pliny to have
been about half the size of Babylon in
the days Of her greatest glory.
