CURIOUS THINGS FROM CHINA
The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen
Are Part of the Celestial Empires
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filled with pleasing surprises.
Some of the most magnificent articles
of furniture are part of this wonder
full display. The carving and inlaying
of ivory, bone and wood illustrate the
marvellous skill of the Chinese.
Models included in this interesting
exhibit show the homes and home life
of the Chinese, their weddings and
funerals, Chinese tea house, restau-
rant and shop, Chinese weaving and
some Of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel of the Chinese and their
methods of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each Of
which has the appearance of being n
small house Of great beauty. One is a
| summer bed, the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and SO
skillfully Joined as to appear part of
the wood. The bed and furniture are
Of carved bamboo. The bed consists of
an anteroom, with tables, chairs and
tea stands. and in an inner room, which
is the sleeping apartment, there is a
couch with coverings of gauzy silks.
The winter bed is still more elabo-
| rate. 1t consists Of three compartments.
The first contains four chairs, tea poy
and chest of drawers. This is the sit
ting apartment The second is the dress
ing room, and the third is the sleep
Ing apartment, or the couch itself. The
furniture is Of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving of birds, flowers and
trees. The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
ors. The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns Of silk
hung at the outer entrance, while the
light enters through gauze panels, hand
painted and in forms Of rosewood In
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made Of highly pol
ished ASH with exquisitely carved
bamboo figures inlaid, are shown. The
work is so artistically done that each
article seems to have been made of
one piece of wood.
There is also large display Of Chi
nese lanterns made Of silk, gauze and
other light material and some made of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau
tifully hand painted.
There are models Of some of the
great Chinese temples, theaters and
arches, showing elaborate carving in
wood and ivory and two large elephant
tusks exquisitely carved.

GOOD AIR FOR BABES
INFANTS SLEEP ON TOP OF SKY
sORAPERs TO AID HEALTH.
Latest Treatment Advocated for Both
Strong and Weak Proves Pop
ular In Aristocratic Sec
ton Of Boston.

Putting baby to sleep in box on top
of the fiat roof of modern skyscraping
apartment house, or in an iron balcony
far above the sidewalk, or even in the
broad window seat of an upper story
is the newest method of fresh air train
ing which is developing among the
wealthy and aristocratic Boston families
Of Back Bay and Brookline.
The treatment became so popular that
along almost any street in the exclusive
section of the city one may look up to the
upper stories of houses, especially apart
ment houses, and outside the window is a
box which in the poorer quarter of the
city would be taken for window gar
den. And SO it is, but it is garden for
the little buds of the family.
The method, begun when the baby is
not more than two or three months old,
may be continued until the child is five
or six years old, or as long as the GUS,
tom of having daily nap is kept up.
1t Is not devised especially for sicklyI
children, but for strong babies as well.
Advocates of the method point out sew

fresh air instead Of the vitiated air Of
the house. This in itself conduces to
sound sleep and good nature 1t has an
advantage over carriage ride in that
1t avoids the noise and dust of the street
as well as contact with other children,
where is always present the possibility
Of contracting children's diseases.
For the mother or nurse 1t means a
saving Of many hours every day during
the life OF the baby, for while the little
one still gets air, the mother or nurse
Is spared the long and often laborious
work Of pushing the carriage up and
down the street, and they have time for
other pressing household duties or for
4 recreation.
During last winter, Notwithstanding
the severity of the cold, there were few
days when babies were not placed in
thee accustomed sleeping places on the
window sill or on the roof.
Most mothers or nurses wrap UP the
baby just about as an Indian squaw
wraps up her pappoose. Then it is laid
on hair mattress In a box or basket
strapped securely to the box and covered
with blankets.

Standing Pat.

The republican conventions in Ohio
and Iowa have offered their oppo-
dents an admirable ready made issue.
Tt remains to be seen whether the
democrats will have wisdom enough
40 take advantage OF it
In both these conventions the
stand-patters were in absolute con-
troll, and they used their power ruth
lessly. Last years feeble sprouts OF
tariff independence were trampled in
to the ground. Gov. Cummins, of
Iowa, was brought to the platform
with halter around his neck and
made humbly to recant his heresies.
In mockery, the name of Mckinley
was attached to policy that McKin-
ley had repudiated in the last speech
OF his life.
Secretary Shaw told the Iowa Con-
yention that the chief issue Of the

campaign would be the Democra tic
charge that American goods were sold
abroad cheaper than at home. He
added that "while this was true In
way, yet this claim could be proved
only as to -thirtieth of American
goods sold abroad.
Perhaps Mr.. Shaw did not realize
exactly what he was doing. He was
telling an audience of farmers that
the great bulk of our exports, consist
ing chiefly of farm products, got 70
benefit from the :ariff, which worked
solely to the trusts controlling small
fraction Of these exports, say $40, 0Oo,-
100000 out of sl,4Oo, 100000 worth.
Mr.. Shaw's figures are absurdly un-
dersJated, but accepting them as they
stand, how can Iowa be made to like
them? All the farmers wheat and
corn, his cattle, his pork, his dairy
products-everything he produces
sell in the home market at foreign
prices. But the protected manufact-
urer is able to sell at home ut an arti-
fetal price above that he can get from
the foreigner.
| Mr.. Shaw seems to think that he
has disposed OF the American consum-
er's grievance il he can show that the
volume of cheap sales abroad is small.
But the grievance is not so much low
prices abroad as high prices at home.
Whether the surplus sold abroad by
the trusts can be large or as small as
Secretary Shaw asserts, the fact that
that they can sell it cheaper thai
they sell the same goods to the do.
nestle consumer proves that they are
keeping the whole enormous home
market on an artiicially high level

ago that the trusts were enabled to d.
so by the tariff, concerning which thu

How the Farmer is Robbed.

Although the farmer does not set
aside a portion Of his produce and
hand it over directly to the tart q
beneficiaries, he might just as well
do so for all the difference it would
make, in effect. he sells his produce
at fixed prices In the open marke IS OF
the world, and out Of money received
must pay certain portion to the mo
nopolies in excess OF what their goods
are worth. He is poorer by just as
much--is robbed OF just as much-as
would be the case If he were compiled
to set aside part Of his wheat, corn,
oats, hay and other crops and turn il
over to the privileged interests
