No 0vercrowding
 At St. Louis
Ample Accommodation at Reasonable
 Rates.

hdhCSs
 The alarming and altogether erroneous reports which have been circulated from time to time regarding the probable over crowding of visitors to the exposition and the lack of accomm odations may be en- tirely discarded, as the arrangements which have been made in the Cascade City are such as to provide good accom- modations and entertainment for all who come.
 Chief among the prominent hostelries which have opened their hospitable doors Is The Inside Inn, situated actually with in the grounds of the exposition itself and erected under the supervision of the worlds fair management. It Is three stories in height, Is 400 feet wide, 800 feet long and contains 2257 rooms in addition to It's parlors and waiting rooms and a dinning room and restaurant. seating 25OO The Inside Inn is under the direcet management of Mir. k. M Statler, the well known caterer of Buffalo. who main tains a high-class and uniform cuisine and service for everyone of his guests
 The Inside Inn is run on both the Euro bean and American plans at rates rang ing from $1 .50 to $5.50 per day, European and from s3. .Oo to $7.00, American, includ- ing admission in both classes. The range of prices being solely controlled by the size and location of the rooms.
 The advantages of a large. comforta- be and thoroughly equipped, home-lke hotel right inside the grounds will at once be obvious to all who remember the long. wearisome journeys so often en- tailed, both at the Worlds fair in Chica- goand at Buffalo. by those who lived some distance away from the exposition. No admission fee other than the first one is needed, visitors being within the pre- cincts of the exposition all the time They thus save all loss of time, expenses of street cars, etc. and are able to de- vote the whole of their time to the pleas ures and enjoyments of the exposition.
 Reservations may be made for any date and full details regarding the many advantages of The Inside Inn may be ob- tained by addressing a postal card to The Inside Inn, Administration Bldg, Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis.

Some RELIGIOUS Slang.

Francis Wilson, the comedian, has
recently added to his large and valu-
able library a collection of English
tracts and sermons of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. These
pamphlets are interesting on account
of the strange phraseology-a kind of
religious slang-which they reveal.
Their titles exemplify this slang
well, and the following are a few of
them:
THE Spiritual Mustard Pot, to Make
the Soul Sneeze With Devotion"
"The Shutters of Divine Love-"
Crumbs of Comfort for Hungry
Hoseas."
biscuits Baked in the Oven OF
Charity, Carefully Conserved for
Chickens of the Church, Sparrows OF
the Spirit, and Sweet Swallows of Sas-

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
Work Reported at the Annual Meeting
In Washington.


The annual meeting Of the American
Tract Society was held in the Church
( the Covenant at Washington, March
10Th. Justice Brewer presided and
jiade a brief address setting forth the
eneral work Of the Tract Society,
9th in the home and foreign field. He
Emphasized the necessity of this work
IS we'll as showing that there was no
1ther agency so well equipped to fur
nish Christian literature in the nan
language and dialects.
Rev. JGdson Swift reported the
years work, and William II. Taft, sec
rotary of war. delivered an address
which gave IN account of the progress
in the Philippines, relating particular
ly to education and Christianity.
The secretary Of the society said
that e~ighty-nine new publications had
been added to the list during the year.
These were in English, Polish, Bohe-
milan, German, Hungarian, Spanish,
Swedish and Italian, and the total
number of distinct periodicals added
was $50, making the grand total Of
publications issued since the %organiza-
ton of the society, including volumes,
tracts and periodicals, 749, 315, 572.
The tract society furnishes all OF
nearly all of the Christian literature in
the Spanish language and during the
year has distributed in the American
colonies upward of 1000, 600 pages and
the total for the year in the Spanish
speaking countries is 5,312,0 600 pages.
Six colporteurs are laboring in Cuba.
The work among the Mormons in
Utah is Of Intense interest. The dis
tribution of Christian literature by
colporteur wagons and colporteurs
reaches thousands of homes, placing
wholesale reading in the hands Of the
youth.
The society has expended a total OF
, three-fourths of a million dollars in
, creating and circulating Christian YER
nacular literature at the foreign mis-
sion stations. The great need of the
foreign field at the present is a large
increase Of Christian literature. Many
of the missionaries state that the edu-
cation Of the youth at the mission
schools will be largely in vain unless
q sufficient amount of Christian and
wholesome literature is provided for
them upon their graduation. This is
particularly true Of India and Japan.
