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 a 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
small house of great beauty. One is
summer bed, the other for winter. The
summer bed Is hand carved and inlald
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and so
skillfully Joined as to appear a 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
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 a 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 a 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.

Natures Cure for a Cold.

Charles Gibson, the Indian editor,
claims that consumption was never
known by the Indian until he began to
try to live like the white man in a
house. ITO cure cold an Indian went
TO mountain to camp and hunted and
ate wild meat for forty-eight hours,
which is now the easiest way to cure
a cold on earth. You never contract
a cold in camp. II is curious, but
is nevertheless true. Try it and be
convinced. No one ever saw a tepee
Indian with cold or cough. Nature
will cure you if you are not a coward
and will go into camp and give nature
o chance"

The United States Government build
Ing at the Worlds Fair occupies an
elevated site just south of the main
picture OF the Exposition. The great
central dome of the Government build
ing is visible from the very center Of
the Fair looking across the picturesque
sunken garden that lies between the
Palaces Of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts.
The hill slope In front OF the Gov
eminent building is terraced with
broad stairways almost completely
covering the slope. The building is 500
feet long by go feet wide and is the
largest structure ever provided at an
exposition by the federal government.
1t is distinguished from all the other
large buildings at the Exposition by
the steel truss construction, the entire
roof being supported by steel arches,
forming n splendid domed ceiling.
In this building are installed the ex-
hibits OF all the executive departments
OF the government The building is a
vast storehouse Of an endless variety
OF treasures dear to the heart of every
true American. Precious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
OF our great men OF the past are on
display. Relics of famous statesmen
and soldiers, carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.
Each governmental department has In
stalled an exhibit showing its official
character and mode OF operation.
Entering the Government building
from the eastern end, the visitor sees
at his left a railroad postoffice car.

DECORATION DAY NOTICE.

At a meeting of Washburn Post,
No..32, G.. A. T., on Saturday, May
9TH, 1904, it was unanimously de-
cided that a Memorial Service be
held at Washburn, May Both, as
usual.
We feel that while we live and
are able to perform the beautiful
service of scattering flowers OF the
graves of our comrades, it is our
glad duty, with the help of our pa
triotic citizens, to do SO, believing
that when we shall have crossed
the Mystic River, others who are
enjoying the grand and glorious
heritage saved to them by a sacri-
fee so great, will continue the work
so we'll begun, never forgetting that
these men whose memories we de-
light to honor, gave their young
lives and all their hopes and ties
of life for country's sake.
The order of the day will be much
as usual; march to cemetery at IL
O'Clock A. M, and services at M. E..
church at 2 O'Clock P. M. The pro-
gram. which we purpose shall be
interesting, will be prepared in a
short time.
All are invited, and in fact it is
the duty of all to take part in the
solemn yet glad services of May
Both, our National Holiday.
