Beauty, Size and SentiDent
of the Worlds Fair
1t Is Larger and More Beautiful Than Any Other
Exposition Ever Given.

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery of the worlds fair at ST.
Louis, he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
of peace the world has ever known, but
he gave to the nation a fit climax of a
west of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When, at the swing of lever, 10000
gallons of water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front of Festival hall, there
was completed the most beautiful ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen, picture that will live in the
mind of every visitor to the great fair.
Chicago had it's Court of Honor, it's
stately palaces set against back
ground of the blue waters of Lake
Michigan; Buffalo had it's wonderful
illumination, it's dusk of evening
Frightening into day again as the
countless thousands of twinkling
lights brought back the effect of the
rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful
as they were, have been surpassed by
the glory of the cascades, the foaming
waterway, rushing downward from the
colonnades surrounding Festival hall.

colors, intersecting the wonderfully
beautiful grounds in all directions.

A MIGHTY STEP FORWARD.
The General Introduction of the Tele-
phone Has Proved of Consider
able Profit to Farmers.

The time is not far distant when
nearly every farmer will have a tele-
phone in his house, to be used, not
only in his business, but for conven-
fence and pleasure as well. About five
years ago the wholesale introduction OF
the phone in the agricultural district
commenced, and now it is considered
an essential part of farm equipment by
at least a half-million farmers. 1t is
particularly useful to large farms and
cattle ranges and to the truck farmers
near the large cities and in the south
The advantages are many, and the cost
is slight. The telephone enables the
farmer to keep in closer touch with the
markets than even the daily papers
permit. He is thus able to take ad-
vantage of rising market and send
on his produce or stock, or hold off in
the face of declining prices. Out in
Illinois last year buyers from outside
began to clean up the broom corn al
$50 ton, when telephone manager
called up the farmers on his line and
told them the market was rising rapid
ly. The result was that before the
season ended they got $240 per ton fol
their crop. The telephone is of great
benefit in time of danger from frost
as it enables the farmer to receive the
frost warnings disseminated by the
weather bureau from Il to SO hour.

The althea was bought in a nursery
at the time father visited at Geneva.
The forsythia was a layer donated by
a kind-hearted neighbor who has a
large clump in her yard. The climb
ing rose Baltimore BELIEF was left
by a fruit-tree agent in payment for
his dinner. Each one of these sepa-
rate articles when it came was stuck
into the ground wherever there was a
convenient opening.
This outline is the history of at least
three-fourths of the farmyards which
one sees. The general result is fairly
well represented in figure !. Here
there are two rows of trees at right
angles to one another. which are fine
and shady and form the chief features
of the place. However, they shade the
house too much, allowing no outlook
in any direction. There are some for

where the best grass ought to be. The
walks and drives are stiff and straight.

were afraid to associate with their
neighbors. What little lawn there is,
is ON the other side of the road and
behind the row of trees. 1t is useful
only as a croquet ground. 1t is more
than likely that in some spring there
will be wires attacheI along the tree
trunks, and the lawn will be used for
a yard for penning up calves.
In figure we have a rough sketch
Of the same piece of ground and the
same house. The arrangement of ma
terials on the grounds, however, fol-
lows a more agreeable plan. The
roads and walks are gracefully curved
perhaps too much so; but at any rate
they turn aside and leave room for a
much larger stretch of grass on the
left of the house The trees are placed
in scattered groups and the shrubbery
Is arranged in heavy masses Almost
anyone can see that the latter ar
rangement is preferable even in this
cold pen and ink sketch. Could the
two places be compared, with the trees,
shrubs and flower beds all complete,
the difference would be much more
striking.-Country Gentleman.

VOTED FOR NATIONAL AID.
Senate Committee Will Report in Fa-
vor Of Uncle Sam Helping I'm
prove the Highways.

The friends of national aid to road
improvements have achieved their first
general victory in congress. The SEN
ate committee on agriculture has de-
cided to report favorably on the Gal
linger- Latimer bill, which is a dupli-
cate of the bill introduced in the house
by Representative Brownlow. The
vote is reported to have stood six to
one in favor of the measure. -Four
democratic senators, Bate, OF Tennes-
see; Money, of Mississippi; Simmons
of North Carolina, and Latimer, OF
South Carolina, and two republicans
Foster, of Washington, and Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, voted for a favorable
report. The only vote in opposition
was that of Senator Proctor, Of Yer
mont.
Before voting on the bill the con-
mittee adopted several amendments af-
fecting the distribution of the road i'm
provement fund among the states
One, which was insisted upon by Sena-
tor Foster, of Washington, provides
that 100000 is to go to each state, and
that the balance is to be divided in
proportion to population. Another
amendment provides that in making
the distribution according to popula-
ton the cities of over 10000 shall not
be counted This amendment is like
ly to provoke strong opposition, on
the ground of injustice to those states
which contain large cities 1t will be
charged that this provision amounts
to very much the same thing as "tax-
alton without representation"
On the whole, however, this report
must be considered as a great forward
step, and an indication that ultimate
success will be achieved in the neal
future.

exhibits is a complete government
mint for the manufacture of coin, but
at st. Louis Uncle Sam is making in
stead of coin gold souvenir medals,
but the process is the same as if the
product was legal tender. While Uncle
Sam has a monopoly on the money
making business he guards the priv
ilege jealousy and does not risk the
precious dies, which put their i'm
prints upon dimes. dollars and eagles,
to leave their place of keeping.
Besides a mocern coming press,
from which drops a bright medal at
every click, is a screw press built in
1895 and used at that time to stamp
small coins. There is also a hammer
12O years old and a small pair of bal
ances formerly used in the Philadel-
phia mint. Comparing these with the
improvements made in the last 100
years reveals how much easier it is
now for Uncle Sam to replenish his
treasury than it was when he was
young in the business.
All of the machines used in the
plant are driven by independent direct
current motors. the power for which
is transformed from $50 volts to 220
The gas for all heating operations,
such as annealing, melting, etc., is
manufactured by an independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First of the series of devices COM
posing the plant is a furnace which
supplies heat of 1000 degrees F. for
the melting of metal alloys. Here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in dilute solution of sulphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty-five
thousandths Of an inch. This mill is
operated by so horse power motor.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the annealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter.
Processes used in the making of
for it is here that the printer and not
the machinist and founder serves a
usefulness. In another section of the
big Government building at the
worlds fair there is a fully-equipped
bank note printing plant.
In the Palace of Transportation may
be seen full size section of the great
tunnel which runs from Jersey City
under the Hudson river, under New
York city at Thirty-fourth street, and
under the East river to Long Island, a
distance of eight miles. 1t illustrates
the tremendous work and millions of
dollars expended upon one of the
greatest engineering works of modern
times. A great laboratory for testing
the power, efficiency and economy of
locomotives is also in this building.
Locomotives will be under full steam
and full speed in this laboratory, the
greatest show of locomotive testing
ever conceived and costing a quarter
of a million dollars.

surpasses all others in beauty, so, also,
does it in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forty acres, literally covered
with the treasures, the productions, the
curiosities of &C world, tell the story
of the fair in a sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see it all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50,000,O00 before its gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which SO nations from. all cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American. expositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which ST. Louis celebrates the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that it should at
tract by it's size alone. They have
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the beauty rather than the size of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. 1t is a sentiment that is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
roic statues of the states that stand on
either side of Festival hall. These
statues typify, not the states of the
east, but these of the west the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory,
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border, from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within century of time been
builded out of the wilderness. 1t is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; it is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory of the nation.
To attempt an itemized description
CT the wonders this exposition has
brought to the doors of the people of
the central west is impossible in the
space of a newspaper article. Twelve
thousand car loads of exhibits found
space within the great palaces. 1t is
almost impossible to realize what such
statement means until one has gone
from building to building, from ex-
hibit to exhibit. Nor is tie space in
the building wasted. Every niche is
filled with s..1ething of interest, and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal of the author
tiles. Some idea of this may be had
from the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled all
the Agricultural building. covering 10
acres of ground, and with four miles
of aisles.
To pick even the more interesting ex-
hibits is almost an impossibility,
though among them might be men-

vie diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes. lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many woman has made this dis
covsry after long siege of useless treat
mert. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.

How to Make Home Grounds Attrac-
tive and a Source of Never
Ending Pleasure:

This is the time of year when those
persons who wish to make improve
ments in their home surroundings
have the matter most in their minds.
1t is a suitable time for looking into
the future and making plans. The
carefully considered preparation of
plans is much more important than
most people imagine. One of the
greatest reasons why the home
grounds on farms and in suburban
neighborhoods are so unattractive is
that the work is not planned Enough
money is spent in many cases-Some-
times much more than is necessary.
1t is always best to decide in advance,
as far as possible, what the arrange
ment of the grounds is to be. to put
