N"N NaAai ifoHl lnc FIcncH leAllle " the French applied art building and has collection of single stones ant jewelry that has never before beel shown to the pubic. It is really sensa tional. The palace of fine arts show paintings, Schubert engravings ant designings drawn from private collec. tions of both nations. Critics claim never was such collection gotten to. gether before, and the value is placed at l,OO0.O00 pounds
 The India buildings represent ex. hibits from the Orient. The floors are covered with mattings of different col ors and a fine display of spices of which the air is impregnated with their sweet odor. There is also a big dis play of ladies dresses from the 18th cen tury up to the present time. There is a large Military display with guns of all kinds for coast defense and ships of war; also horse artillery mounted, etc. It is a grand display of its kind.
 A very interesting exhibit was one called New York, Canada and London and represented frontier scene. As you entered this exhibit it was dark until you got to the first scene, which showed a store of the old Hudson Bay Fur Company. Standing warming her hands at the fireplace was the wife of an Indian trapper, dressed in home spun clothes and furs with a pappose strapped on her back. To the left of her with one foot on the brick hearth was the trapper, a large raw boned Indian. On the floor sorting the furs was clerk in blue uniform and behind the counter another clerk evidently putting down the count, and at the door the dogs and sled. It was just as real as could be made. Further to the right was full rigged ship in the Arc tics, some of the sailors getting Polar bears and in the act of hoisting bear over the side of the ship. A number of skins were on deck. Out on the ice they were harpooning seal. The scene was splendid, and the ice looked ever so much like real ice, with loose ice flows around. The next scene was formed of the men and women wear ing the finished Iurs. Altogether it was one of the best exhibits and cer- tainly the best of its kind.
 Another very interesting exhibit was one representing all the native animals of South America. The scene was a representation of the woods and plains with the animals standing as in real life, iron: :the buffalo to the beaver and ground hogs, the buffalo, deer and horse being very life like, as were all the animals. This was Canadian ex- hibit and they claimed that 1000 miles from the borders of the United States vas herds of buffalo in their wild state. Whether such is true or not I am not to state, as have been led Q believe but few herds existed and hese were owned by the United States government and one or two by private At any rate it was fine xhibit and most interesting to the British public. And last but by no means least was he Irish village with its matched roof, he girls making lace and weaving nats. Everything was complete down 0 the village blacksmith and, you had ot finished until you had taken ride q the jaunting cart behind the ass to iss the Blarney stone. The money aken in here went to pay the stamping ut of the Pulmonary consumption in reland and from what l saw they yill we'll succeed in that deserving ause.
 I have only given you a brief sketch the trip and what saw, but hope ome of it may be interesting to you. remark by an English lady paid us
 compliment which may no be out If place to mention before closing. was, "When people from there ome here to reside and visited home hey never cared to remain, but al- ,ays wished to return to the States" Iy answer, "A free country, for the eople, by the people and equal rights ) all." The very next day being the ourth of July, at breakfast a band layed in front of the hotel Yankee 'oodle" and the "Star Spangled Ban CT" for which they were heartily heered by two Americans and were icher by few shillings from our ome and from several near by, the hole street being used for public and rivate hotels. The grandest sight l aw while away was Old Glory, which had the honor with other Americans f saluting on the glorious Fourth.
