Musical people and all who appreci-
ate good music may thank the Worlds
Fair for three notable compositions,
written upon the invitation of the Ex-
position management These are the
"Hymn of the West" by the most
distinguished living American poet,
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the music
for which was written by Professor
John *. Paine, who is ut the head of

long before this as writer of operatic
and other musical compositions. This
music will be heard publicly for the
first time upon the opening of the Ex-
position on Saturday, April 30. and fire.

grammes OF the greatest of worlds

A most unpleasant sensation is caused
by the violent eXcitation of the ulnar
nerve due to blow on the elbow. This
nerve passes down on the inner side of
the arm and then rather inconsiderate-
ly bends round and enters the forearm
at the back Of the elbow joint. Any
one who has felt his neighbor's elbow
sticking into his ribs knows that the
elbow is remarkably deficient in flesh.
The nerve is therefore at this point
very near the surface and has little TO
shield it from a blow. If we are so
smart tap we obtain a practical con-
firmation of the fact that the ulnar
nerve is the principal sensory nerve OF
the forearm and hand.

A New York magistrate and his
irierd were returning from a banquet
arm in arm and were giving way to
mirth and song when they found
themselves confronted by the police.
The magistrate made his escape, but
on the following day as he sat on the
bench. grave, dignined and alert, as
usual" he saw his dear and valued
friend charged with being drunk and
disorderly. lie listened to the charge
unmovcd beyond panied expression
on his face and. after calling upon the
prisoner TO explain his conduct, ad-
dressed him In his most severely Judi
cial manner and in scathing tones.
Never had he heard more disgraceful
case, and il was so much the more dis
graceful from the fact that the pris-
oner evidently was respectfully con-
nected and moved in what was called
(here he became very sarcastic) good
society. lie felt IL was matter where
leniency would be surely out of place,

People who Rarely Wink.

There are people who rarely wink.
How they manage to get along with
out doing so is n marvel, but somehow
or other they do. Some eyes are natu-
rally more moist than others, and the
very moist eye does not so much need
the assistance of the lids to keep the
eyeball bright. 1t is constitutional
matter, for winking, though under the
control Of the will, is done so quickly
that 1t is practically an involuntary ac-
ton. Men wink when they feel that
the eye is uncomfortably dry, and
when 1t does not become dry the neces-
sity for winlIing is not felt

Weddings In Korea.

At n Korean marriage every one rides
on horseback and in single file. First
comes a manservant, who carries in
both hands an imitation life sized wild
goose, covered by red scarf. Then
come the bridegroom, his friends and
all the servants he possesses or is able
TO borrow. At the brides house the
servant first deposits the goose Oh
bowl of rice; then all dismount, and,
leaving outside their outer robes, their
hats and their boots, they enter the
house and make as much noise as they
possibly can. The pandemonium does
not cease till the guests are paid to 90
away. \ feast follows and then the
bridegroom is taken TO his bride, whom
he sees for the first time.

The real balm of Gilead Is the dried
Juice of low shrub, it is said, which
grows in Syria. 1t is very valuable
and scarce. for the amount of balm
yielded by one shrub never exceeded
sixty drops n day. According to Jo-

was one of the presents given by the
queen of Sheba to King Solomon. The
ancient Jewish physicians prescribed

Cost Of Seeing tho Worlds Fair.

From any point within 400 miles Of
st. Louis a person may travel to the
Worlds Fair this year, view the won
ders OF the Exposition for three days
and expend the same money he would
pay In any other year for train fare
alone. This is an absolute fact.
The Western Passenger Association
has agreed on a ten day excursion rate,
250 miles or more from st. Louis, for
one and one-fifth fare for the round
trip.
