The largest of these is the Palace Of
Agriculture withits twentythree acres

the most wonderful agricultural col

chosen for extraordinary display.

How to Keep House.

With all the Injuries and pleasures of
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which we have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way and
by some means every one has touch of
them in some form at some time. Trifling
as some of them may be. the risk is that
they will grow to something greater and
rack the system with constant torture.
There is nothing, therefore, of this kind
that we have right to trihe with. Taken
in time, the worst forms of pains and
aches are easily subdued and cured
by the free use of st. Jacobs Oil.
No well regulated household ought to be
without bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of penetra-
ton in St. Jacobs Oil that carries it
right to the pain spot and effects prompt
cure even in the most painful cases Of
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica.
You want it also in the house at all times
for hurts, cuts and wounds, and the house
that always has it keeps up sort of in
surance against pain.

are not all. Think of ten acres of
glistening machines of every kind and
you have some idea of the contents of
the Palace of Machinery.
We cross the lagoon to the east
ward and come to the beautiful Palace
of Electricity, with eight acres of ex-
hibits from many countries, which
show the marvellous development of
electrical science. To the north again

1t will be worth all the self denial
that one may practice for several
years to see the Worlds Fair of 1904
ut st. Louis. Money saved, earned or
borrowed, cannot be better spent than
In getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest of expositions. All of us can
not travel around the world to take
note of what the nations are doing.
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to st. Louis to be
placed on display.
Therefore, by all means or any
means, see the Worlds Fair. 1t means
everything to your future growth of
mind, to your present pleasure and
lifelong satisfaction. Who that saw

Columbian Exposition that does not re-
vert to it with recollections of keenest
pleasure?

motives is one of the features. 1t
shows the development of seventy-five
years in locomotive construction.
Strange indeed is the person who is
not yet impressed with these evidences
of mans long struggle with the prob

newspaper, which must always stand
first. To describe in detail this exhibit
would be long story in itself.
Now let us cross the flower gardens
to the Palace of Machinery, just south

An enthusiastic Receptiou.

Sir Henry Rawson was welcomed as
Governor of New South Wales with
the greatest enthusiasm. One port
greeted him in novel and interesting
way. There were no guns big enough
to salute him with, so an enterprising
loyalist hit on the happy idea of util-
izing kerosene tins. With the assist
ance of plugs of dynamite and a fuse
the salute was duly given, resulting in
