The latest advices from the James
town Exposition, it is gratifying toreport
are that a wonderful change in things
is being wrought daily and that every
feature of it, including the pier, will be
completed by the first of July. Accord
ing to the testimony of those who are
posted in regard to the show 1t Will not
only be completed soon but will be IN
many respects the most interesting eX-
position that has ever been shown TO
the people of this country, and IN some
respects superior to all of them. Some
people in the North, who can never see
anything good in the South, speak dis
paragingly of 1t and some even IN the
South are not disposed to give the credit
that is due to it, but their views based
either upon prejudice or ignorance can
not be. accepted as correct. Reports
lust made by Executive Commissioner
Bolin. of the Ohio Commission to the
Jamestown Exposition, and of Mr.. Buch
anan, the right-hand man of Governor
Frances of the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position, show how greatly they are Il
error and are of course more worthy O
belief as to its merits. The forme
says in part:
The outside work of the exposition
building is now, l believe, complete Il
every detail that is required to max
the proper showing. All buildings hav
been completed and the park about tn
plaza as well. The pier when compile
ted will be the greatest feature of thu
or any other exposition, | believe
should be fully accomplished in all ii
details by the first of July-and the la
ter pronounces it in many respects til
most interesting and well planned e.
position that ever has been shown
the people" He says that Is no
further advanced than the one
Buffalo was during the same period a
ter the opening date. Noone howeve
who has attended the jamestown +
position, needs to be told what b
affair it is and all who will attend
the future will see so much, that W
beinstructive and entertaining to thel
that they cannot fail to be pleased WI
it.
The senior editor of the Central Pre-
bvterian, concurs in the views now bel
generally expressed as to the attractl'
ness of the Exposition. After referrl
to its various features he says:
.'Of the exposition itself, after t
DAYS. we came away convinced Il
Justice had not been done to it. 1t
far more extensive, various, comp
hensive and interesting than we
learned from all that has been writ
fronted the management. The weat
has not been propitious, and the s
sons rains have delayed import
work. Labor, and especially ski
labor. has been hard to command,
the prices high. Financial profile
have been slow to solve themselves.
it is that much outside work has b
delayed, some buildings are yet to
completed, and some exhibits are We
find their place. But we have this
say, that if this work were stopped
no further exhibits opened, the exp
ton which one finds to-day is wont
fully full and attractive, and wort
travel across the continent to see. "

Don't Blame theGook

If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t inBures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the

Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our

We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you -four direct at whole

The Lady In the Moon.

An amateur astronomer writes of the
e'lady in the NOON" ut is very beat
tiful face seen in profile and uplifted,
as though in proud disdain of thing,
terrestrial. The curve of the throat is
exquisite, and indeed the entire outline
is marvelously lifelike. The moon
lady may best be observed through a
small opera glass when our satellite Is
at half. At that time the tip Of the
chin about touches the terminator-
that is, the dividing line between the
light and dark portions of the lunar
surface. Most people can recognize
the man in the moon. Well, the hair
Of the lady, in which I can always fan
cy I see a spray Of orange blossom,
forms the mans left eye. the nose and
mouth his nose. and the chin and
throat the mans mouth"

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Difference Between Instinct and
Reasoning Power.

The Difference Between Instinct and
Reasoning Power.
Most animals have little self con-
seriousness, and their reasoning powers
at best are Of a low order, but In kind
at least the powers are not different
from reason in man. "A horse reaches
over tile fence to be company to an
other. This Is instinct. When 1t let's
down the bars with it's teeth, that Is
reason. When dog finds its way
home at night by the sense Of smell,
this may be instinct; when he drags a
stranger to his wounded master, that
is reason. When jack rabbit leaps
over bush to escape a dog or runs in
circle before a coyote, or when 1t
lies fiat in the grass as a round ball Of
gray, indistinguishable from grass,
this is instinct. But the same animal
is capable Of reason-that Is, Of dis
tinct choice among lines Of action. Not
long ago rabbit came bounding across
the university campus at PalO Alto.
As it passed a corner it suddenly faced
two hunting dogs running side by side
toward 1t. 1t had the choice Of turn
ing back, its first instinct, but dan
gerous one; Of leaping over the dogs
or Of lying on the ground. 1t chose
none Of these, and its choice was in
Simultaneous. 1t ceased leaping, ran
low and went between the dogs just
rs they were in the act Of selling it,
and the surprise Of the dogs as they
stopped and tried to hurry around was
the same feeling that man would
have In like circumstances.-"Evo

Birds liuhtninu Rods.

"The humming bird. no less than
man, protects his habitation with a
lightning rod" said an ornithologist.
"Oh, you nature fakirw
ut Is the truth The humming bird
nests In warm climates, where devas-
tating thunderstorms abound, and very
prudently he covers the outside of his
little home with cobweb.
"Sill. you know, Is a nonconductor
Of electricity, and since cobweb is silk
the humming birds nest is lightning

to put up his own lightning rod like
that?"-Cincinnati Enquirer.
An UnciviIized Cow.
On a certain southern plantation the
dairy hands were accustomed to do
the milking squatting down in print
tive fashion until the owner introduce
ed milking stools, with other improve
ments. But the initial experiment
with the innovation was not exactly a
success. The darky who first sailed
forth with the stool returned bruised
and battered and with an empty pail.
"Ah done ma best, sah," he explain
ed Dat stool looked all right ter
me, but de blamed COW she won't sit
on it!-Woman's Home Companion.
A Potato Test.
To test potatoes cut the raw vegeta-
BILE in two and rub the halves together
If the moisture on rubbing Is great
enough to drop, the potato will be soy
gy and set when cooked. A potato
that will be dry and mealy when
while poor one will show only a
watery froth by the same rubbing ac-
ton. Moreover, the two pieces or
halves will stick together il the potato
is good one. or course the whole
process Is to test the amount Of starch
in the potato, and the more starch the
better the potato.
The Chinese and Grapes.
Did you ever hear how the Chinese
keep grapes fresh? The method is
unique and is simple enough for any
body to try 1t. A circular piece is cut
out Of ripe pumpkin, making an
opening just large enough to admit the
hand. The interior Is then nicely clean
ed out, the grapes are put in, and the
circular piece is replaced and pressed
in firmly. If the pumpkin be kept
where It is cool the grapes will remain
fresh for an almost indefinite period.
1t is said that by this method the Chi
nese have them all the year around
