Elaborate Corn Exposition.

AT the National Corn Exposi-
ton, Chicago, October D to -. the
most elaborate decorative scheme
ever seen III Chicago will be pre-.
sented at the Coliseum building
and annex, where the show will be
held. This decorative work will
cost in the reighborhood of $30,-
600, and corn will be the dominant
Gin fact, the almost exclusively dec
orative material. In addition to
a mini iiture corn farm, in the
center Of the building, one end
will contain an ancient temple
dedicated 10 the goddess Of corn.
where at certain times OF the day
the virgins of the sun will offer
sacrifices of corn. At the op-
posite end will be a realistic farm
scene, made up of an actual farm
house, windmill, grinding corn,
etc, On either side will be shields
of the different states, done in
corn, each showing the amount of
corn grown last year. A large
and splendid picture of Mime
haha will adorn one wall. I'm
mense festoons of corn ears will
be suspended from the ceiling, and
two gigantic pumpkins will dem
onstrate that corn and pumpkins
grow together. The color scheme
is exceedingly harmonious, and
everything in the building con.
form to the general decorative
idea.

Back From the Dead.
From the Technical World.

FROM Tue ecnDlcdI w orlO.
A recent invention of Prof.
George Poe, of South Norfolk,
Va, has proved beyond all con-
travention either of two things;
that, far as medical science has
advanced, it is unable to- say
when animal life is extinct, or
that it is possible, under some
circumstances, to restore life
when the subject is de ead. "
Whichever may be the case. how
ever, the fact is not altered that
the device mentioned has brought
animation to animals which were
undoubtedly in that state de-
scribed by science as death.
AS have so many of the great
discoveries of science, that Of
Prof. Poe grew out of more or
less accidental occurrence. In
the year 1876 Prof. Poe succeeded
in resuScitating a rat, which had
been killed, by the simple process
of pumping oxygen into its lungs.
With this success as basis to
work upon, he was encouraged
to continue Investigations and
experiments along the same line,
and these have resulted in the
artificial respirator the success of
which is one of the marvelS of
the age.

Rebuking Substitution.

The Des Moines Capital is do
ing what it can to assist adver-
tisers in putting down substitu
ton. The Capital said editori-
ally few days ago:
There is no species of fraud
more reprehensible than the sub
stitution in vogue in many places
of business. For example,
customer enters and calls for
specific article. The merchant
undertakes to sell an inferior
article because it will give a
larger margin OF profit.
IF a merchant succeeds in
negotiating that kind of a sale
the customer has permitted him
self to be convicted before the
bar of common sense as an all
the year-round un m It'll e d
chump.
From such a transaction flow
two pronounced evils.
First, the customer has been
cheated. He has failed to re-
ceive a proper consideration for
the cash expenditure which he
has made.
Second, the honest mauufac-
turer has been Disseminated
against, while the dishonest man.
ufacturer has received a premium
for having effected through the
retail dealer the sale of bogus
piece of goods upon a representa-.
tive of the consuming public.
The Capital adds that the con-
Sumer can administer a lasting
rebuke to substitution by refus-
ing to trade with any dealer who
practices it.

The Woman of Today.
James Huneker In Everybody's.

James Huneker in Everybody's.
twenty-five years ago blonde
women (real blondes) were far
from rare. A careless observer
can see at the present that
American women in pigmenta-
ton are becoming darker. Up
in New England, out in certain
parts of the West, the thin,
nervous, plain featured, earnest,
underfed and overworked female
was in the majority. Her voice
reached us across picket fences,
her hand was in every pie.
Above all, she sang in church
on Sundays. When Mr.. James
and MIR. Howells began to write
of her she was already vanish.
ing. Where has she gone? You
encounter isolated specimens to-
day; and her feminine contemp-
oraries make mock of her queer
bonnet and her puritan con.
science.
Every decade is adding it's
quota of arrangement OF the
normal national woman-as we
once saw her. What has be.
come OF this average American
woman? Where is the waist of
yesteryear? Women's hands and
feet are larger, the skeletal for
nation is said to be bigger.
They are not afraid of the winds
that tan, the sun that freckles.
They motor and golf; they swim,
row, wrestle. They play Chopin,
despite all these things. They
stand the strain of college study.
and there seems to be no marked
diminution in the birth rate.

chest, and their eye is as soft as
their mothers for the happy
chap, of course). Is there an
American type? 1t would seem
so after these statements. I'm
luckily for the statistician, the
same girl may be seen today in
Germany, in England, ireland,
Scotland, France, Italy, Aus

is that the feminine movement

Do IT..

Don't talk about what you
want to do-do it, That was
a remark by William Hunt, the
painter. The half-a-chance men
have made the great successes.
They do not merely dream about
doing things-they do things.
Hiram Powers was 80 years old
before he took serious lessons
in sculpture. Yet Hiram Pow
ers was the sculptor of the
Greek Slave. Peter Cooper,
when 3 years old, earned his
living by pulling hair from the
skins of rabbits his father shot
to make hat pulp. When II
years old he walked to New
York, engaged himself as an
apprentice for five years at So a
month and his board, Peter
Cooper was a half-a-chance man.
Thomas Ball, the great sculptor,
was II years old when his father
died. His mother had four chill.
dren younger than Thomas. He
went to work in grocery store
at 81 a week to help support
the family. Ball was a half a
chance man. Horace Greeley
went to New York with $10.75,
his entire fortune, in his pocket.
Greeley, printer from sup
state" was 4 half. a-chance man.

that, and that he had not sue
ceeded he charged to his deaf
ness. He was very deaf and the
family seemed to avoid him. And
he did not see we'll and his sense
of time had left him. Occasion
ally he would take off his hat
and try to think whether it was
last week or last year it was new.
He was never sure of anything,
not even the names of the chill
dren whom he saw daily. One
thing he knew, he was "a years
old. On a hot summer afternoon
he found himself alone in the
house; he was frightened and
crept from room to room and
finding no one, stood by an open
window and cried. He was curi.
ously glad Of the tears, for he
believed that somebody would
come and get him and lift the
awful burden of fear that was
upon him. Then a new terror
seized him because he remem-
bered that he was S4 years old,
and that he was crying like a
baby. But after a little time, he
forgot that and fell to crying
again, until he saw through the
window a little dog. He tried to
call to the dog, because 1t pleased
him, but he felt that his voice
was gone, aud the dog ran on
and away. He knew the dog,
Yesterday he and the boys of the
neigh borhood and that dog had
gone swimming under the elm
up the Elm branch, and he had
been caught in an eddy and
pulled down-oh, the horror of
the nearueSs of death-it came
back to him now. He had hidden
ii from his mother and she had
not guessed how near she came
to losing him. But when he
grew to be man he would tell
her about it, He sank down by
the open window and slept. He
dreamed that he was all alone at
night on the banks of the Elm
branch and that the muskratS
were frightening him. He tried
to call out for someone to come.
! And when he awoke and his
daughter and her children were
bending over him, he told her he
had come near drowning yeSter-
day. She lifted him from the
floor and led him to a chair, and
seeing that he had been crying,
told him that he must be good.
So he sat in the chair and
waited for her to return. He
knew the position was wrong and
that the Union lines could not
hold it. He was behind a peach
tree and the bullets whirred all
about him. The man next to
him was down and his face was
torn and bloody. They were
falling back, just as he knew
they would when they swung
down from the Little Round Top
the night before. And then he
remembered again that he was
81, and that the family avoided
him, that he was in the way OF
them alb and it was not yester.
day but IS years ago that he and
the boys and the dog went swim
ming. 1t was a diSagreeable fac,
that he was 81 years old and
he struggled to his feet and tried
to run away and leave it far be,
hind him. But he took a SteI
and fell and he knew that the
position was wrong, that Han
cock never should have put the
line out there to be shot to piece,

been that as he passed away

A RAISE IN SALARIES.
Teachers in the Denver Public Schools
Get Handsome Raise.

Denyer-The salary schedule, pre-.
pared by the committee on salaries of
the Board of Education, has been pre-
scented before that body and practically
approyed. When the teachers con
tracts were signed last June the
amount of the salary was left vacant.
The sloyd teachers, who teach manual
training works in the grades, proved
so scarce that their contracts were filled
out a few days ago, in order to hold
them. Although the board has not
formally accepted the schedule, 1t prac-
tically did so by this action. The sloyd
teachers have always received the
same amount as grade teachers and
their contracts have been filled out for
$50 a month for twelve months in the
case of all old teachers.
The total increase in the salary ap.
propriation will be when all the ola
teachers now holding position. reach
the maximum of $4,000 year. The
board Is confident, according TO one OF
the members, that no increase IN the
school levy need be made 10 met the
extra Indebtedness. BY curtailinS ex'
penses in certain lines the extra salary
anpropriation can easily be met, 1t is
asserted. with confidence. Knockers
NAV claim that this is not so and that
an increase in levy will be necessary.
Happily, however, according to mem
hers of the board, there will be found
few knockers to cry down a long
needed increase in the salaries of Den
ver teachers. The need of larger sal
aries to get teachers Of ability has long
been recognized, as the taxpayers are
as anxious as anyone to have their chill
drep taught by competent instructors.
The question of an increase In sal
ary was brought up during the last
school election. 1t was deeply agitated
and facts given to the public that
aroused much interest. The public
had not stopped to consider the In
creasing needs Of larger salaries, the
fact that many had families dependent
upon them and that more money could
be made In other prOfessions- Tne

II has not been definitely settled how
old teachers will be started under the
new schedule. Those who have taught
many years will probably be given the
maximum at once. Those who have
taught several years here will receive
from $50 to $3.50 and will be advanced
each year until $3.50 has been reached.
The maximum salary will give teach.
ers $50 month the year around. Up
to this year they have been receiving
$40 for nine months, or $50 month
during the school year. This left
them to live during vacation on what
they could save during the school year,
after paying all expenses. The lowest
salary under the new schedule, 5000,
will give the recipients $50 month
every month in the year.
High school teachers will receive no
increase. They are now paid $500
when they first enter high school. and
are advanced automatically until they
receive $1,000 a year. After that they
receive increases upon the recon.
mendation of their principals. This
year between thirty and forty high
school teachers have received promo
tions Of 800 each.
