AN EXPOSTTTON.


 Even from slow-going Philadelphia the business world may learn, as the world of United States politics learned most agreeably lately from that big city, that this Is an age of progress. Take, for instance, the big home expo sition that has been in progress there the past week, creating immense public interest and astonishing the staid Phil adelphians themselves at the extent and importance of their home industries. Instead of taking their goods to a great central building and erecting individ- ual exhibit rooms within 1t for the dis play of thelc wares to the people, the dealers and manufacturers hit upon the felicitous idea of arranging in their own well-adapted show windows and stores all the features of the regular. formal exhibition As result Market street, Philadelphia, for the week, became what a retail business thoroughfare al- ways is to some extent-a noteworthy exposition of the city's manufactured products.
 Not only finished products, but proc esses as well, were shown, and many working exhibits In one of the big Market street department stores no less than forty of these practical demon- strations were shown, covering all the principal industries. One of the many interesting exhibits showed the growth and development of paper manufactur- ing from the days of the first paper mill in the United States built on the banks of the Wissahickon, and including an idea or two as to Franklin as a printer and publishers also the growth of the newspaper. What fine thing an ex- hibit in our stores Illustrative of New Haven's big aggregation of industries would be! The idea is commended to our Business Mems association and manufacturers and merchants general ly. Such an exhibit would result, as it has in Philadelphia, in stimulating trade and arousing civic pride, while as an instructive object lesson to old and young of our citys importance it would be of far lasting benefit.

LINCOLN.

New Haven honored the birthday of the immortal Lincoln yesterday with exercises in the schools and with the notable banquet at the Young Mems Republican club last evening. Flags were flying also in all parts of the city. The tribute to Lincoln paid by the Rev, Dr. Newman Smyth at Center church Sunday, published in our yesterdays issue, was admirable, tribute of rare power. Times flight is rapid. As is well said by the New York Globe: "Ninety-seven years have passed since Abraham Lincoln's eyes first opened, and nearly forty-one since they closed. No forgetfulness has come, no indiffer- ence; instead, not only has his fame ever grown, but he seems closer to the love and affection of this generation than of the last. Perhaps on this years Lincoln day more lashes are wet be- cause of thought of him than on any day except the one when the news spread that the surgeons had been able to do nothing, and that the bullet had completed its work And it is the Man rather than the Great Man that dwells in the mind. He is more than states man, just as Columbus is more than sailor, or Saul of Tarsus, setting out for Damascus, is more than traveller. There is no child so lowly born that the Lincoln spirit is not sap for it's up- building, and, what is more to the pur- pose, no child so richly born that it cannot profitably send it's roots to the same vivifying source. It will go well with America as long as Lincoln is sin- cerely revered. However alarming ex- isting evils may seem we need not de- spair of the. essential trueheartedness of our people while they turn their faces to such an ideal of sweet human ity."
 Gsnnecticut is one of the ten states in which february F, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, is kept as a legal holiday. The time is undoubtedly com ing when all the states of the union, in- cluding those south of the Mason and
 
 Dixon's line, will pay a similar tribute to the memory of Lincoln.

A1wArS RooM TOR IMPROVEMENT

ALW4TS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
 There is said to be always room for growing in grace" as far as poor nor tals are concerned, and so also as to material things. Take the subject of patented inventions. What vast inn proyement is our Winchester rifle, for instance, over the old Springfield mus kets, with ramrod equipment, which our Connecticut boys and the other Union boys of other states carried in the Civil war So, too, the sewing machine of the Howe, and Wheeler & Wilson, and other makes, seemed perfect thirty years ago. So, also, as to the steam engine. But as many important pat ents are now being issued on the steam engine as at any time in the history of the office These are largely derived from the applications of the turbine principle, which has opened up an entirely new channel with almost endless notifications.
 The sewing machine division is slmi- 1 larly full of work, although the Amer ican people have for years had as good domestic machines as anybody needed. The later inventions relate chiefly to new fields in factory work, or leather and heavy textiles, which the sewing machine is trying to conquer.
 Ten years ago it was a big task to handle all the bicycle inventions which came pouring in. Now two examiners can easily handle the new wrinkles in this line Perfection was thought to 1 have been reached in agricultural iln- plements in 1876, as seen at the Centen- nial. But the improved implements of to-day make the others look sick in comparison as to usefulness and efi- cienoy, The history of inventions seems to be a never ending continued story"

placed farther forward for case in hill climbing.
 The club" shoes in the market to- day follow this design, except that they have upturned toes, whereas the trap pers and lumbermen claim that it is easier to climb hills on the old fat-toed model, especially when carrying a pack or dragging a toboggan. A specially designed shoe called a "hill climber has no filling forward of the toe hole nor back of the rear cross piece, be- side being very coarsely meshed. To borrow from an expressive friend who owns a pair, If you always climbed It would be 'cinch, but they're the divll and all coming down." Where the for ests are very dense the Indian uses a fgairly broad shoe about three feet in length, enabling him to slip smoothly about through the trees with small danger of tangling the tails in the thick underbrush. which would be sure to happen necessarily if they were mod eled after those used on the open plains.
 There is another interesting model, formerly used in the Adirondacks, and now mostly confined to the Rocky Mountains, called the "bear-naw" shoe. It is a perfect oval in shape, having no heel or tail. It measures about eigh- teen by fourteen inches and is coarse ly strung, the meshes being two to four inches across. This coarse mesh is very necessary where the snow is moist, as otherwise the shoe would land up at every step and make trav- cling impossible. Most of the eastern shoes are closely meshed, as the snow, being light and fine in a wooded coun- try sifts easily throngh.-L D. Sher- man, in "Snowshoe Picnicking" in the Outing Magazine.

fairly narrow The meshes are coarse in the spring, but midwinter and dry, hard snow necessitates an extremely fine mesh. The toe hole is placed about two-thirds the length forward and the toe of the shoe Is broad and upturned. In the best made shoes the filling Is cleverly put in and presents @ concave surface to the snow and does not sink in deeply, but carries up and forward so that the long body and heel always remain down, even at a fast pace.
 In Eastern Canada, where the coun- try is less open, the snowshoe is an al- most exact opposite in shape. The oval is shorter and broadened until it ap- pears very clumsy, nevertheless it has been generally accepted for all-round use, In this model the toe hole is

The Sacramento Bee has at Reno a correspondent possessing 6 facile pen, not to say a productive imagination. It seems that between Bodie and Lun- dy the snow became so deep that the carriers found it impossible to get the mails through either on time or at any time. The situation was serious, when some one-possibly the resourceful cor respondent himself-hit upon the plan of putting snowshoes on the horses. It is admitted that at first the horses floundered and could not make prog ress. However, they soon mastered the trick of walking on the shoes, and since then the mails have been sent through on time and not the least trouble has been experienced"

IS THANKFUL TO-DAY

This is national thanksgiving
day, when an entire nation upites
in praise for the manifold blessings
bestowed, and the good people of
Americas will join reverently in
giving thanks as well. Business
is suspended, and at the church
altar this morning and in the
home, praise will be given for the
manifold blessings enjoyed. For
some as individuals there is
apparently not much to cheer or
to buoy hope. Even in the nations
most prosperous periods there are
some who must suffer. One way
to give thanks today is to do a
kindness to some one less fortunate.
1t is a good day for kind deeds
and words, for offering helpful
hand and a hopeful, cheering
word. He who gives thanks this
day with mind and heart and
hands, in spirit and in deed, gives
thanks truly.
