tons.
One day last year a city gentleman
called at st. Martins lie Grand, In Lon
don, with the object OF consulting a
directory and finding the address of a
customer who lived In a remote part OF
BALKAN. He was not acquainted with
the locality and was most anxious to
see his customer at once. These facts
he mentioned to an obllging clerk be-
hind the counter.
He was at once Informed that he
could be sent to the required address
''by registered post" at a fee OF 3
pence a mile. The gentleman gladly
accepted the offer, and in less than a
minute found himself In charge OF a
smart messenger boy, who very soon
guided him by the shortest route to his
destination.
The boy carried In his hand a print
ed slip with a description Of his charge
under the heading Article required to
be delivered" and this he required the
gentleman and customer to sign be-
fore he left the latter's house.
1t is probable that very few people
are aware of the regulation under
which this curious postal transaction
was accomplished. 1t reads thus: "A
person may be conducted by express
messenger to any address OF payment
Of mileage fee."

the main picture of the Exposition. The
great central dome of the government
building is visible from the very center
of the Fair, looking across the pictur-
esque sunken garden that lies between
the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts. This government building
is the largest structure ever provided at
an exposition by the Federal government.
In this building are installed the exhibits
of all the executive departments of the
government, and space is also devoted to
the Library Of Congress, the Smithsonian
Institute and the Bureau of American
Republics. The building is a vast store
house of an endless variety of treasures
dear to the heart of every true Ameri-
can.
Passing out at an end Of the govern
ment building one sees the Government

clusively to the display and exploitation
of the United States Fish Commission
enterprises and the exhibition Of food
fishes and shellfish. Specimens Of fishes
from river and sea, lake and brook, from

Three fellow travellers in the smok-

ing the speed Of trains.
II was in a train once" said the FIRST
man, "that beat everything / ever rode
in for speed. Why, it went so fast that
the telegraph poles at the side Of the
track looked like an immense fine
toothed comb"
That's nothing" said the second
traveller; II remember riding In an ex-
press on the $500 and - that went
at such a gait that the telegraph poles
looked like a solid board fence
The third man made an exclamation
Of Impotence.
"Ah, you fellows don't know what
high speed on a railroad is. Why, I
travelled west from Chicago last month

st. Louis correspondence:
What the world has been looking for
ward to for half a dozen years and what
all civilization will be talking about for
generations to come is the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, now seen in all its
glory, at st. Louis. 1t is a soul-awaken-
Ing spectacle, a to human pro-
gress, an epoch in industrial history and
an achievement, par excellence, of art.
Over seven million persons visited the
Worlds Fair in the first half of its ex-
~istence, and not one visitor went away
but who proclaimed the wonders of the
sights beheld. Those who come later
ana again will have more to see for the
grandeur of the enterprise grows as it's
age natures.
Late summer, autumn and fall are the
seasons that will bring many millions
more of visitors and when the gates Of
the exposition close on Dec. / the world
will have gotten its full share Of the
benefits accruing from the expenditure of
the enormous sum of $50,000,00G and the
employment Of the best artists and arti-
sans in the entire world.
Covering 1,240 acres, nearly a third
of which is woodland, the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition extends from the west
ern limits Of st. Louis city into st. Louis
county, occupying a site which is one

is the primitive appliances Of a hundred
years ago. A central exhibit is an inn
mense locomotive upon a turntable, which
slowly reyolves. The wheels of this
giant turn at a rate which, were the To-
comotive on a level track would give it
a speed of eighty miles an hour. Ma
rine and aerial navigation are features.
The largest Of all the exhibit palaces
is the home Of agriculture, which covers
over twenty-three acres. This building
is in the western portion of the grounds
and forms the center of a second picture,
being surrounded by immense beds Of
flowers, one Of which, devoted to roses
alone, occupies six acres. Special fea-
lures are the crops of the United States,
which nave never before been demon
strated at any exposition. In the Palace
of Horticulture the rivalry among States
is so keen that the horticultural display
has been made the finest ever witnessed
in the worlds history. An extensive out
door display supplements that within the
walls.

structure provided for mines and mining

it teens with life. Methods Of delving

as the ores and metals that are found.

Origin OF "Tip.''

Apropos Of the question whether 1t
were better Ito tip or not to tip
walters, the origin Of the odd little
word, which SO greatly influences the
treatment of man in public dining
houses, goes back a couple Of centuries
to the coffee houses Of England.
At the doors of the eating rooms a
brass-bound box with lock and key
was hung up, and into the slit at the
top customers were expected to drop a
coin for the waiter ITO Insure Prompt
ness according to the phrase en-
graved upon 1t. Hence the word Zip"

Spite Of One Man Embittered whoIs
Life Of Great Poet.

Millions life was embittered by
the contemplate spite Of one Salinas
lus," writes Marie CorelB in the
Strand Magazine. "Salmasius was
the author Of the 'Defensio Regi,' or
Defense Of Kings a poor piece Of
work long ago forgotten, and he was
the procurer Of foul libel against the
author of Paradise Lost What
small claim he has to the worlds
memory arises merely from his vic
iousness. for not only did he make
use Of the lowest tool to aid him in
conspiring against Millions reputation.
but he spread the grossest lies broad
cast, even accusing the poet of hav-
ing hideous personal APPEARANCES
puny piece Of man; a homunculus; a
dwarf deprived of the human figure;
a contemplate pedagogue.' When the
despicabie slanderer learned the fact
that Milton. 50 far from answering to
this description, was Of pleasing and
attractive appearance, he Immediately
changed his tactics and began to at
tack his moral haracter-which, as
even Millions bitterest political enc
mics knew, was austerely above the
very shadow Of suspicion. It was
said that the poets oyerzealousness in
answering the calumnies of Salmasius
