Now that crops have been or are be.

trip to the Worlds Fair. treat that
has long been promised him and foe
which he has patiently waited. No ex.
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for it is al, this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products Of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace. but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed Grange House. stu
ated in the south end Of the building.
1t is equipped with a reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept list of
moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
ia the Palace Of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace Of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filed With exhibits Of
the farm. garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most Of
the principal countries OF the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the Ex-
position. the. paramount Importance. Of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
Of the Worlds Fair movement.
About seventy acres Of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers. an instructive

There are more exhibits In the Agri-
culture building than In any other Sec

The Summer Season.

When one reflects upon the delightful weather which pre- vailed so generally in October, says Four-Tfack News, and the even more perfect weather in No- vember, it naturally calls forth the query, "why do we call the sum. mer season from July to Sep tember IF" It is absurd! June and Septemberr-eyen October and often November gives us more delightful weather than July and August. l, for one, vote unani. mously for longer summer sea. son, for a fuller period in which to enjoy the beauties of nature, for nature is so varied in her moods, and so lavish with her charms that she deserves more of our attention, and the more atten. tion we bestow the more we learn to admire her every phase and fancy, and the more we admire the better off we are, for every in fiuence which nature exerts is for the good.

INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers at Washington Never Heard of Christ
 mas Before Coming Here.

There are in the foreign colony In Washington quite number of children who never heard of Christmas until they came to the land of the free, says the Wash ington Times. Among them are the two sons and the daughter of the Chinese minister, the young sters of the Korean legation, and Osman Sureya and Ali Haidas, the black-eyed little sons of Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. When Wu Ting-Fang was Chinese minis. ter he adopted the American Christmas to the extent that his young son was allowed to go to the white house each Christmas morning with bouquet almost as large as himself designed as n token for the first lady of the land. In the Chinese colony are several children who have been enjoying an American Christmas for some years past. These for tunate youngsters are the chil- dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary interpreter, whose wife is New England woman.

NEARLY WEDs BRIDESMAID.
Minister Had Reached Hateful Part When Bride, Realizing Situ-
 ation, Calls a HuIt

But for sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at 8 wedding in St. Mary's church, New Britain, Conn, would have been married to the brides- maid the other day Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best man and bridesmaid. When the party cached the altar the bridesmaid, in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride. remained at the bridegrooms side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the ceres mony, but just as he had reached the fateful part Miss Strader jumped up and asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young women exchanged places, and the ceremony went on. The bridesmaid had never attended wedding before

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unbcnded Government Clerk Carries Money from Washington to New
 York in Suit Case.

Col. Edwards, chief of the division or insular affairs, recently told the story of bureau clerks remarkable trip few days ago with s3,Oo0,0o0 of government cash. The clerk is Marion k. Beall, whose home is in Fort wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines. To. MT. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau of printing and engraving turned out s3.000,O00 in s1, ,00o bills. The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. BealI went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting tho treasure. Eight hundred dollars" said each of the companies.
 That's too much," said Col. Ed- wards when Beall reported. Whats the matter with you putting the money in suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 Why, sure, can take 1t if you ara willing to trust me with it, said Beall.
 The money was put in . suit case and Beall. although not even under bond. carried 1t from this city to New York. whence 1t was shipped.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER
ous Fish Weighing 125 Pounds with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, cornet soloist of he Catalina Island band, is a most en. thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch. one weighing 42b pounds; the oth- 1T morning he though he would inscribe the tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken. He had uncorked but small por- ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then 1t whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight lasted. Itwas a formidable-looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat. and there was debate, after u was gaffed, as to whether 1t would be welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment To the casual observer 1t was but moon-fish, rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in the oshermen's nets. This, however, was caught with hook and rod and reel, something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the Ash also showed radical difference between this and the sword-fish.
 It's sword is not so long as that of the genuine sword-fsh of this length; the lower jaw is unduly elongated; it has on It's back collapsible fin, which, when extended, stands up 15 inches above the dsh, but folds down into grove, until It Is unnoticeable: the tail is like the screw of a propeller, and very similar In appearance to that of the tuna.
 The fish sharps are all guessing. The ifRe of this has not been seen here before, nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword is "A inches long and the tail is 39 across.

Magnificent pistances.

The diocese of Kis watin, in Ru pert's Land, is one of magnificent distances. Bishop Lofthouse once walked 200 miles to fetch doctor for his wife. Many of the Indians walk 25 miles to church, and the bishop has baptized scores of ba- bies which had been carried 150 miles on their mothers backs over hard-frozen snow. At night the family sleep, wrapped in the deer skins, on branches laid upon the snow.

SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof. Won Joggleby from His Study Window
 Backyard Scenes.

"I know when spring is at oand." said Prof. von Joggleby, according to the New York Sun, sby the things see in the range of backyards in view from my study window.
 "In the sheltered corner of some of these yards, where it is pro- tected from the cold winds and where 1t gets not only the direct, but from the sheltering fences, the reflected rays of the advanc- ing seasons warmer sun, the grass begins to grow green while yet there may be in other parts of the yard patches of snow and ice. The eager grass responds to the first call of spring.
 "And so do the dwellers in the houses to which these yards are at. tached. On that same day in some of these yards there were people out raking up the winters debris ; the scraps and pieces of paper, and the twigs and the sticks, left on the ground after the melting away of it's winter covering. They had sensed the approach of spring and they were cleaning up; and on the first occasion, anyway, they were moved no doubt not so much by a desire for neatness and trim ness in their several yards as by an inward prompting to get back to them once more; to mother earth.
 "It doesn't matter to me what the ground hog may say, or how many other indications may point, l always know when spring is at hand by these two signs, by the coming green of the tufts of grass in the sheltered corners of my back yard, and by the appear. ance of my neighbors at work cleaning up."

NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Columb mbia Not the One in Which Her
 Crew Won at Henley.

Columbia students and gradu- ates will be disappointed to learn that the old shell hung in the uni versity trophy room on Morning side Heights is not the original boat in which the Columbia crew won the Visitors Challenge cup at Henley in 1878. The shell, says the New York Sun, occupies the most prominent position in the room and has been pointed out to every visitor as the only American boat manned by college crew to win at Henley.
 The first doubt as to the authen- ticity of the boat was expressed several months ago by Francis Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the university, who has always been prominent in Columbia's rowing interests. Subsequent investiga- tions have shown that on the day sa before the Henley crew sailed for America Capt, Goodwin sold the two shells which Columbia had taken to England to Cambridge university, where they were used till a very few years ago, when they were broken up.
 There is some consolation for the Columbia men in the fact that the oars used by her crew in this race, which are also on view in the trophy room, are the real ones brought back by the crew and sub. sequently presented to the uni. versity.

Famous oId clock stops.

Thousands of Parisians who are in the habit daily of setting their watch es by the famous clock on the bourse were filled with dismay the other week when the famous timepiece was seen to lose several hours in the course of day and then stop alto gether. For many years the bourse clock has been considered one of the infallible chronometers of the city. Apparently the recent additions and Improvements of the old bourse have been too much for It's delicate mech anism.

MATURE NEVER GIVES UP"
A Phrase That Is Full of Meaning for the Sick in Either Body
 or Mind.


 Aphrase from a recent magazine article is so suggestive and so full of encouragement that it seems worth while to make it the text for one of our small sermons, says Woman's Home Companion. The phrase is: Mature never gives up." You may with profit say this over carefully and thoughtfully and let it's full meaning come to you: "Nature never gives up." Nature is on the side of health, and sanity, and consequent happi- ness. Hard as your case may be, the great Mother is lighting tho battle with you. Has disease got into your bones? Nature has mar shaled her forces to combat it, and with marvellous strategy has set engines to work which are en- deavoring to circumvent the en. emy. Nature is working in con- junction with the physician and yourself. That is thought which ought to cheer you. You have been imprudent, possibly have done and left undone. You have taken such ill-care of your God-given body that your friends have set you down as hopeless or worse. You have told yourself that there is no hope for you. Ma ture has not given you up. She wants you to live and work and be healthy and happy and in the event of your neglect of yourself, she is still fighting for you. She has no moral idea in doing this. She just does it. Perhaps you de serve to be given up. Many of us do, it sometimes seems. But Ma ture is blind to that. Of course, she is not all-powerful. She can be overcome. She fails often. But you will do we'll to remember that in every case while there is a spark of life left, she is trying. Let that thought brace you. Buck up, and give Nature some help.
 should like to think that we could carry the analogy into the moral world as we'll. Do you not believe that there are forces as yet unvalued which are fighting the fight for good in the souls of men? Bad a man or woman may be-there is exterior pressure to make him or her better. There is law; there is education; there are all the societies and institutions whose object is to help the down fallen and the unfortunate. But are there not other forces, too? Does not the great Mother of Souls fight continually for the spiritual health and sanity of all people? The thought is comfort ing, stimulating, encouraging. It is the business of every individual to add all his personal strength to all encounters with evil, physic- al or spiritual. He can do so more heartily and with better faith for success if he remembers that "na- ture never gives up."

MAN DIED FROM A
DOSE OF MORPHINE
LOUIS J. WILLIAMS SWALLOWED
THE DRUG, IT'S SUPPOSED, FOR
THE PURPOSE OF COMMITTING
suIcIDE-WAs DEsPONDENT.

Louis j. Williams, white man aged 81
years, died yesterday morning early at
his home at Reddng, on the Birmingham
Mineral. from the effects of an overdose
of morphine, and it is generally supposed
that it was taken with suicidal intent,
although this is not positively known.
1t seems that he had been on visit to
his relatives said to be taking the cure
for the morphine habit. According to
the reports which reached Birmingham he
was in the house early yesterday MORN
ing and seemed respondent.
With the remark that this would soon
end his trouble, and holding up a bottle
or package which contained much NOR
phine, he took 1t and died in short
time, although physician was summoned
and worked over him for some time
1t is said that some of the family saw
him take the morphine and that his moth
err attempted to reach him before he
could swallow it but failed.
1t is also said that he took the NOR
phine as medicine in a connection which
he prepared himself and that death was
accidental. The funeral services will be
conducted this afternoon at o'clock from
the residence and the interment will be in
Elm Leaf cemetery.
