FARM NOTES.

And reaps an hundred fold.

THE EXPOSITION MASTERPIECE.

All the logic of circumstances points to the fact
that the ST. Louis Exposition will be the last great
event of its kind in many years. and this is probable
because the present Fair has set so high standard
that the task of attaining it will be difficult and
that of surprising it will be wellngh impossible.
Mere bigness' the presumptuOus prejudg
ment of many who had heard of its immensty, but
had not yet how ingeniously the splendid dis
tances Of its twelve hundred and forty acres had
been covered with huge palaces and architectural
masterpieces and a harsh wilderness made to bloom
with the choicest creations of landscape artists. No
mere enumeration of distances and dimensions. no
description, not even photography, can mpart
truthful of the Fairs architectural immensely

for the eye: vast picture of pillar and turret and
dome. facade. column, fountain and waterways
dazng impression of golden group of palaces.
The vernal setting of the palaces and pavilons
will easily impress the visitor who has an eye for
color and when in the sprightly spring sunshine of
the beautiful city he sees how well the green and
gold and soft ivory tints blend in harmonious color
scheme he cannot but marvel. If there is spot

funess of the woods and the glad sight of of
green grass, far from the "lnadding crowd" that
swarms in cosmopolitan gathering along the main
ray, led roads of great exposition, surely the
chanting highlands south of the main picture will
furnish Arcadia.
But to travel down through the city itself is re-
quired for the impression of its great art variety
and beauty. One should travel through it with the
idea of preserving unity Of impression, subordinat
ing each successive perspective to whole.
At moment the vista opens upon lines

WAYS OF WOMEN.

That the cynical filings Mt the ways Of women
are not always exaggerations is shown in some Of
the frequent suits for breach of promise in the
courts of the land. In New York recently Of
these women gave as her reason for bringing the
to know that he promised TO marry me and then
wouldn't do it.
The remarkable feature of the suit alluded to is
that the woman comes from arstOcratc Rus
sian family and is well connected in New York City.
1t would be reasonable to suppose that any educated
and refined woman would have too much personal
pride to have it known that a man had refused to
marry her. 1t would seem that her ambition
would be to keep the fact secret and to lead the
public and her friends to believe that she had
changed her mind and had rejected her sutor. To
60 into courts to drag her love affair before the
people and prove the perfdy Of the man just To
show that he promised to marry her and hadn't
done is contrary to what expects of the sex.
No man who has been rejected by woman IS
likely to announce the fact from the housetops or
sue for breach of promise or tell his most intimate
friends that she has refused him. He will say that
of the questioner whether it the girl or himself
who withdrew the promise Of marriage No man
desires to play the part Of the rejected. But this
girl cheerfully acknowledges that she wanted 10
marry a man. and that he refused to consent. She
files breach-of-pro suit to let the public and
her friends know the truth about the estrangement
OF course all girls do not parade their disappoint-
ments in love before tine world but the fact that
many OF them do is proof conclusive that the ways
Of women cannot be understood by man.
