MODERN w0oDMEN AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.

st. Louis, July 29.4-Modern Woodmen
of America and their allied fraternities
are making big preparations for the pro-
posed eneampment at the Worlds Fair,
st. Louis, in September of next year.
The Woodmen number about 10000
members in America. Gen. John H.
Mitchell, commander of the organization,
says that 10000 will he at st. Louis
during the week closing September 5th,
with Modern Woodmen of America
Day." The Foresters, a semi-military
organization allied with the Woodmen,
has $4,000 uniformed members and it is
said that 5000 of these will attend the
encampment. Many of the Forester
companies are said to be drilled as well
as any organization in the United States.
The Royal Neighbors of America, also
auxiliary to the Woodmen, has. a mem
bership of 100000 lady members. and
Gen. Mitchell estimates that 10000 of
these will be at the Worlds Fair during
the first week in September.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

The really unhappy man, whose un-
happiness is his own fault, is the one
who is forever carrying ga chip upon his
shoulder" Perhaps his happiness is his
unhappiness, for when he is not engaged
in a personal alteration he is brooding
over some fancied slight and awaiting a
favorable opportunity to give vent to his
wrath. @ ~
The man with chip on his shoulder
is easily recognized an dhis society by
wise people is carefully avoided He can
in his wake. If he attends q theater
he is either annoyed by the usher OF
someone in the audience or at the man
in the box office for not having sold him
a seat bought long before he appeared
at the window. He is the bane of the
car conductor and on the railroad train
he succeeds in embroiling himself in q
row with the brakeman, conductor, Pull.
man car porter and the passenges. Each
flying cinder from the locomotive is aim
ed especially at his eyes and he succeeds
in stirring up the spirit of mutiny in the
hearts of the travellers.
There are some women similarly con-
stituted who manage to be in trouble
form the moment their eyes are open in
the morning till they close them in sleep.
These people are indeed to be pitied, if
indeed, they are not cordially hated. This
uuarrelsome habit of mind can be so
fostered that the petulancy grows to be
a malignant disease and leads sometimes
to the insane asylum. Parents who no.
tice in their children this fretful, quar-
reling disposition can easily find a REM
edy. They may not agree to the meas
ure-simply good, sound thrashing.
Everyone has heard of the story of the
child who was continually whimpering
and quarreling. In despair the mother
Icried: "Are you sick? What do you
want?" Gravely the chih answered: II
think, mamma, want whipping" She
received the whipping and there was a
marked improvement in her temper.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAN,

st. Louis, July 29.-Prof. w. ]. MCGEE,
chief of the department of Anthropology
Tor the Worlds Fair at st. Louis, is
quoted as saying that the aim of the de-
partment will be to represent human pro-
gress from the darkness of the earliest
ages to the highest enlightment, from
savagery to civic organization, from ego
ism to altruism. Special attention will
be devoted to Indian school work, Amer
ica's best effort I'd elevate the lower
races. The method will be to use living
people in their accustomed avocations as
object lessons. Failing these in some
cases, human products will be used to H.
lustrate human progress.

THE TROLLEY IN PARIS.

1t looks as if the trolleys were about
to invade Paris. The omnibus and tram
way companies are on the eve of bank
ruptcy; the former lost $S62,l76 this
year, and six out of ten tramway COM
panies have had no dividends, and the
others such small ones that the stock
holders are more than Disguised, says the
Brooklyn Eagle All this is owing to, the
popularity of the Metropolitan, which is
taking all their business and when the
new lines are completed the surface lines
will not make cent. There is, however,
a good percentage of Parisians who pre-
fer to travel above ground, and the old
companies are seriously considering the
introduction of trolleys as the only way
that they can compete with the meter,
as the underground is popularity called.
They will have difficulty, however, in
getting the franchise from the members
of the municipal council, most of whom
have the beauty of the city at heart, for
they know that foreigners flock to the
city and spend their money here because
there is no flaw in its beauty, and that
an aerial network of wires would mar the
appearance of the city. Such men as
Detaille, Rodin and other eminent artists
are openly opposed to the trolleys. De-
taille told reporter to put down his
adjectives as strong as he cared to that
lit was not possible to think of Paris
with that eternal cobweb hanging over
it's head; that such a mode of transit
was simply barbarous. There are people
of an entire street in Paris who have no
address. Did that ever happen in any
other capital? The street where these
people live simply has no name. The
street and houses were built on the
grounds of the old gas works almost
in the heart aof the city, and it is in vain
that the dwellers for the last three
months have gone on their knees beseech-
ing the members of the municipal council
to give their street a name. But the IN
habitants of the street want to have 1T
called Rue de General Jeanningros, after
a friend of Deroulede and Deroulede Is
not in good odor with the government.
And so the street goes nameiess. Inc
simpler American custom of numbering
streets does not obtain here at all, and
many of the street names are cumber-
some in the extreme.

HOTEL COMFORTS.

The hotel guest is being made more
and more comfortable. One of the new
houses opened this year has ice water
running day and night in the halls, even
up to the top story. Another convent
ence priced by the sophisticated woman
guest is. little apparatus on a block of
marble to be hitched to the electriec
burner and it affords hot iron or a
boiling tea kettle when desired. The
model medicine closet in the bathroom
is another boon out of the ordinary.
So is the little built-in cupboard in the
sitting room, where wine, cake, nuts and
such light refreshments for favored
guests can be kept conveniently. The
wardrobe closets in the bed chamber,
amply and conveniently planned, are
another point dear to the woman guests
soul. There are closets almost as large
as the room they supplement and big
enough to be lit up, allowing every gown
and bodice to swing clear on its separate
hanger. The guest points out proudly
that her closet doors and Trainings are of
the same cream tinted maple as the bu-
reau and bedroom furnishings, and so
pleasing to look at.
Each new hotel thrown open challeng-
es comparison with its predecessors as to
new arrangements and attractions. A
new member of the hotel force is the
man retained to teach the woman guests
billiards or pool free of charge, SO that
they can avail themselves of the use Of
the billiard room. A young woman Ii
brarian to arouse interest in the hotel
library is another late-day feature. The
modern hotel library is pleasant, big
room, we'll lighted and appropriately fur
nished in leather and decorated wood.
Three or four small writing tables are
there, besides the big reading table.
A picture gallery is another innovation,
and interesting pictures are among the
number either lent or rented to the pro-
prietor. Some few paintings are owned
by the house. On one night each week
players, dancers and elocutionists of a
varied character perform on the boards
of an adjustable stage, put up in dining
or drawing room. Two good hours of
vaudeville are afforded for the benefit of
the guests and any friends whom they
choose to ask.-New York Sun.

A special telegram from Duluth says:
"Rev. j. w. Powell, of the .Endion Me-
thodist church of the East End yester-
day delivered sermon for the aged of
this city. Carriages were sent by the
church to bring such old people as had
no conveyances of their own, and were
too feeble to come on cars. The pastors
theme was, "The Crown of Glory" He
said the old people were not sufficiently
appreciated, that the expense of age
largely offset the, energy of youth. There
was large attendance"
