GAYETY AND GlADNESS.
Great Abundance on the Pan-Amer-
lean Midway

The Midway of the Pan-American
Exposition will have the choicest of
the worlds amusement novelties. a
visit to the different concessions will
seem like peep into foreign countries,
the representation of life will be so
true. There will be Trip to the Moon,

long intervening distances which have
wearied pleasure seekers on other Mid
ways will be agreeably lacking here.
The concessions have q frontage of
something over q mile. More than 3d.

the Illumination of this amusement
quarter. There will be 1000 lights up
on the Thompson Aerio-Cycle, which

TESTING THE SEEDS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE AT THE
PAN-AMERlCAN.

Exhibit of the Division of Botany of
the United States Department of
Agriculture VIII Deeply Interest
the Agriculturists.
The progressive agriculturist will
be interested In the exhibit of the Di-
vision of Botany of the United States
Department of Agriculture at the Pan
American Exposition, as it relates to
one of the FIRST essentials of his call
ing. The exhibit will be restricted to
only one of the numerous lines Of work
conducted by the Division of Botany
namely, pure seed investigations. 1t
will represent the work Of the Seed
Laboratory at the Department of Agri-
culture, where samples of all seeds dis
tributed by the Government are now
carefully tested for purity, germina-
bility, and freedom from seeds Of nox-
ious weeds.
Thousands of samples from farmers
and seedsmen in all parts of the coun-
try are also tested at this laboratory.
The work is of special interest to farm
ers, gardeners, seedsmen and expert
ment station workers, to whom the sub
ject of pure seeds is of vital impor-
lance.
The Seed Laboratory Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is we'll recognized
as the most important seed testing sta
IN A &c mo d.
ards and most important pieces Of ap-
paratus have been adopted for seed
testing at many of the State Expert
ment stations. The methods now In
use and many of the instruments and
larger pieces of apparatus have been
devised and perfected by the men in
charge to meet the necessities of the
work.
On entering the space devoted to this
exhibit at the left of the main aisle
one sees first in glass case purity
separating table with magnifying glass,
forceps and other tools used by experts
in separating n sample of commercial
seed into its component parts of pure
seed, chaff, sand and other foreign
matter and weed seeds. Next is pail
of fine balances on which samples are
weighed, all percentages in seed purity
tests being based upon weight Be
yond the scales is a new combined
mixer and sampler. In this quantity
of seeds is quickly mixed and sample
of the desired amount delivered which
will fairly represent the entire lot. One
of the most attractive pieces Of appa
ratus used in purity testing is the bias
impurity separator, which is also new
device. The air blast is furnished by ;

liberated condition of the neck of the
womb can produce all of these symp-
toms, and no woman should allow
herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
No other medicine has such record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "iust as good" Women who
want cure should insist upon getting
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound when they ask for it at a store.

FRIGHTENED HIS WIFE.
Forty Cents Almost the Cause of a
Catastrophe.

Forty Cents Almost the Cause of
Catastrophe.
Before Mrs. Bromley was married
she scoffed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that If you know
how much money you had and it was
all gone what was the use of piling on
the anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza in black and white to
stare you in the face, especially as you
had no more money at the end of the
month than you had without an ac-
count book?
But since she has been running
house she has achieved not one but
nearly a dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man, an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take third, and so on till she spends
nearly all her glad young life balanc-
ing sums. 1t is a matter of pride with
her that they shall come out even, and
so there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. BROMLEY had a grave and
lengthy discussion over the missing 40.
Each accused the other of frivoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter it on
the proper book, "Sundries." Mr.
BROMLEY insisted strenuously he was
not guilty. Mrs. Bromley looked pain
ed and urged him to confess. He left
for down town vowing vengeance. 1t
was late that afternoon when Mrs.
BroWley was entertaining roomful of
aristocratic callers that n telegraph boy
appeared. The maid brought in the
fatal yellow envelope, and at once the
bride knew her husband had been ia
tally injured and was sending for her.
Some one revived her with smelling
salts, n lady in purple velvet famed
her with a hastily snatched lamp
shade, and a third visitor with more
presence of mind than the rest opened
the telegram. The message read:
Honest, now, what did you do with
that 40 cents?"-Chicago News.

The New England building in the
Court of State and Foreign Buildings
at the Pan-American Exposition re-
minds one of n fine old colonial man
sion. Its broad piazZas and terraces
are typical of a New England home of
the Revolutionary period. The design
IS plain, yet rich. The building is 104
feet long by 80 feet wide. The walls
are covered with staff, painted to rep
resent red brick with white marble
trimmings. The shields of the six New
England States are placed in colors on
the front, and there is staff for each
state flag. On the ground floor is a
large reception hall, nearly Al feet
square, supported by four columns, and
at the rear are colonial staircases
leading In two directions from the first
landing. On the right of the reception
hall are the bureau of Information, the
courtroom and custodian's quarters.
On the left are lounging and writing
rooms, from which beautiful view of
that section Of the Exposition is posi-
BILE. In both these rooms large colonial
fireplaces are arranged, and the fur
nishings are all in accordance with the
colonial idea. The arrangement on
this floor is simple, thoroughly conven-
lent and withal decidedly in keeping
with what the building will be used
for. Up stairs there have been arrang-
ed six large rooms. Each New Eng
land State is allotted one, and it is used
for rendezvous for people from that
particular state.
This building is located ON a street,
or path, connecting directly with the
Grand Court and Is I'm almost as cen
trail a position as the New York State
building. 1t is near the lake, in the
midst Of over 10000 transplanted
shrubs and trees. The cost of the
New England building was $4,000.

motor. The device itself. however, in
which the separation Of chaff and light
er impurities from seed is performed
through the action of an air current,
consists of a simple bent glass tube
connected with a receiver.
Actual termination tests will be car
ried on at the Exposition as in the
Seed Laboratory at Washington. Com
mercial seeds will be counted, arran"-
ed in folded blue blotters, moistened
and placed in the standard germinat-
ing chamber, where they will be kept
at fixed temperatures favorable to ger
mination. Check termination tests,
such as are employed in conducting
tests with many kinds of seeds, will be
made in sterilzed sand and soil In
greenhouse FLATS" The number ger
minating each day for definite period
in each of the tests will be noted, and
the percentage of termination thus
computed.
Many weeds the seeds of which are
most frequently found as impurities
In commercial seeds are represented
by living plants labeled with the
names by which they should be desig-
mated by English speaking people
wherever found. A unique feature is
an exhibit of seeds of many of these
weeds and also several kinds Of COM
mercial seeds arranged under 40 mag
nifying glasses accompanied by seeds
of the same kinds in open dishes, so
that one may readily compare the mag
nified impression with the actual seed
and note differences and distinctive
characters that would not appear to
the unaided eye.
The results and Importance Of seed
testing are graphically represented by
several groups of glass tubes contain
ing different kinds Of commercial
seeds. These show the ordinary COM
mercial seed, the amount of pure seed
true to name in the sample and the
amount Of inert matter, such as chan,
sticks and sand, the proportion of
weed seeds, and finally the amount of
germinable seeds true to name, as de-
termined by test of similar sample and
the proportion of waste. A cOmpari-
son Of these last two indicates how
much is often paid for waste In buy
ing INFESTED and poorly cleaned seeds.

of the largest seed farms In California,
