one distinctive feature which places it
ahead of all other worlds fairs is the COM

of any previous showing are the individual

One of the greatest, and certainly one of
the most agreeable, of my many surprises
was the supreme beauty of the main group
of buildings. For the simple reason that
the camera does not exist which could
take in the vast picture as the eye sees it,
the early views of the group-a bit here
and bit there-gave a scant idea of the
scheme as a whole. Nor did the early
views of the ten individual buildings which
make up its component parts do justice to
their nobility of architecture and general
grandeur. Then again in the ground plans

1t Is perhaps not known to all the

70 GROW MEDICINAL PLANS.
Failing Supply Has Rendered Thl
Course Necessary.

Failing Supply Has Rendered This
Course Necessary.
The demand in the United States for
medicines of vegetable origin has
steadily increased with the population,
and the export demand has also in
creased with the introduction of our
medicines abroad, but the supplies of
plants which formerly grew wild in this
country have in many instances greatly
decreased, and the point has now been
reached where it is not infreQuent that
1t is extremely difficult and sometimes
impossible to obtain certain varieties of
native medicinal herbs and barks for
any price. This condition has been
gradually growing worse of recent
years and the only relief, according to
the manufacturers who daily need
these rare native pants, is TO begin TO
Systematically cultivate them, instead
of depending, as formerly, upon the
natural growth. That this can be done
with profit is claimed to be without
question, as prices frequently soar.
owing to the short supplies, and if the
cultivation be so regulated that it will
not be in excess of the demands of the
trade, there is no reason why a rich
harvest cannot be reaped by the pro-
ducers, as well as the manufacturers
of medicines in which they are used
The latter are anxious that the cult
walton of the plants be taken up by
reason of the fact that it would do
away with the inconvenience which
they now frequently experience, as
well as with the exorbitant prices
which they are forced to pay by those
who manage to corner the available
supplies when they are short.
Golden seal is a case in point. Ii
formerly could be obtained in abund-
ance throughout the Ohio Valley and
eastward. 1t is now hard to obtain in
commercial quantities, and the price
has been forced up to seventy-five cents
a pound. Twenty years ago the pro-
duction of golden seal in the United
States was given by Lloyd at 10000
pounds
Experiments are now being made in
the cultivation of seneca snakeroot.

An Indian Game Fowl That is Very
Valuable.

An Indian Game Fowl That is Very
Valuable.
Not often does the price of a single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each of the eggs of GER
tain Indian game hen, which was
brought to England some time ago.
For centuries the Indian game. or
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game breed, for the pureness of
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that
the date of the origin of the race has
been lost in the past.
1t is almost impossible to procure
specimens of the purest blood, for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsman
at the highest value.
AS game fowl they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them in In
dia = for the finest birds never reach
our colder climates-tell of their PROV
ess and ungovernable teEacity in bat
tie With them it is always victory
or death.
In America, however. the game fowls
are seldom raised for fighting pur-
poses, ut for show, and as pets and
hobbies of poultry fanciers.-Country

And he painted the mill, leaving

he submitted the picture for approved.

GOLDEN CHAINS,
NJ. Max Regis Wore Golden Handouts
For Years.

III. Max Regis Wore Golden Handouts
For Years.
1t will be remembered, says the
Westminster Gazette, that some years
ago NJ. Max Regis was presented by a
group of lady admirers with pair of
golden handouts, in commemQration
of his arrest and Imprisonment in the
great cause of Nationalism. The An
ti-Semite swore that he would wear
the manacles as souvenir bracelets for
the remainder of his life. For some
time he kept his promise, and then it
was observed that he had abandoned
his decorative letters. Why? Was it
infideHty to the cause, or what? Peo-
pie wondered, and could get no salts
factory answer, until a few days ago
there was public sale of unredeemed
pledges from the Mont de Piete. The
golden handouts (weighing forty-fve
grammes) were included IN the cata-
logue, NJ. Regis having deposited them
with INA tante' to relieve tempo
rary Indulgence, and having neglected
TO recover them. To complete the
irony of the situation, they were pur-
chased by Hebrew, who now wears
them in the streets of Algiers and eX-
hibits them to all his friends.

To Foretcu Weather.

There were weather prophets before
the Weather Bureau. once when Dud-
ley Leavitt, for many years the maker
of the New Hampshire Almanac. was
driving northward through Noting
ham, he encountered a farmer hoeing
by the roadside.
"A fine morning" said Leavitt
Yes" was the answer. "but it's
going to rain before long"
There was no hint of rain in the
summer sky; but before Leavitt had
got through Northwood Narrows a
heavy shower came down upon him.
Wishing to find out how the farmer
could predict so exactly, he turned
back, and found him out in the field
again, after the rain.
II should like to know" said the as
tronomer of Winnepesaukee chow you
could tell so exactly what the weather
was going to be-"
WELL" said the sage, "when my old
ram scratches his ear with his left
hind foot in the morning, I'm certain
twill rain before night. Besides, if
that old fool of bud Leavitt SAYS in
his almanac, Fair weather may be ex-
pected.' l know twill be just the con-
trary. "-Springfeld Republican.

THE SILENCE OF BUTTERFLIES.


This Insect Represents Truly Silent
World.
After all, the chief charm of this race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
varied and brilliant beauty, not yet in
their wonderful series of transforma-
lions, In their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber in the
chrysalis, or the very brief period
which comprises their beauty, their
love making, their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty Of sight or not, and do not even
know the precise use of their most
conspicuous organ in maturity, the an
tennae. Nor does it consist in this
that they of all created things have
furnished man with the symbol of his
own Immortality. 1t rather lies in the
fact that, with all their varied life and
activity, they represent an absolutely
silent world. All the vast ar
ray of modern knowledge has found
no butterfly which murmurs with an
audible voice and only a few species
which can even audibly click or rus
tie with their wings-T. w. Higgin-
son, in Atlantic.

GERONIMO IN OLD AGE.
f1e Is No Longer Looked Upon as a
Chief by the Apaches.


Geronimo was at Lawton last week.
The health of the old chief is still
good, although he is very aged. His
home is ten miles from Lawton, yet
he usually walks to and from the
place to do his trading.
He is quite often asked to give an
exhibition of his skill as a marks
man with the bow. This he readily
consents to do provided a nickel is
made the target and it becomes his
own in case he hits it.
Geronimo denies the statement Of
Gen. Miles that the general captured
him. The old warrior says that some
where up on the mountains, when he
was on the warpath, two white men
came to him and told him that Gen.
Miles wanted to see him.
The men accompanied him to the
camp of the general and he was made
a prisoner. Geronimo says he thinks
it was in Arizona, the territory of his
birth. Anyway, he says it was up in
the mountains.
The tribal relations of the Apaches
have been dissolved, and they no long
er look upon Geronimo as their chief
They consider him a childish old man,
who is too senile to advise them
