Much Interest in the Coming LOn-
dOn-American Exhibition.
Several States are taking keen In
terest in the Golden West and Ameri.
can Industries exhibition" to open In
London next May. Space in the large
exhibition grounds Mt Earl's court, In
the west end of London, already has
been engaged by various bodies repre-,
Senting the following cities and States
Chicago, Delaware, Grand Rapids, Bal.
timore. st. Louis, Cleveland, Wyoming,
New York, Pittsburg, Springfield, Ohio |
Hartford, Conn.,. Richmond, Va, and
Tacoma. Wash. This is an indication
Of the widespread interest which is be-
ing taken in the exhibition, and manu-,
facturers of each State seem bent OF
showing the world what America can
produce, the Kansas City Star says:
The Governor of California, with a
view to securing adequate representa-.
ton of his State, has made an applica-
ton to the Legislature for an official
grant. Similar steps are being taken by
representatives of other States. The
California promoting committee has ar.
ranged to take the Princes hall, one OF
the most conspicuous buildings, for the
purpose of statistical and pictorial
display, coupled with free illustrated
lectures. The Los Angeles chamber OF
commerce is arranging to make an ex.
tensive display of the products OF
Southern California.
The San Francisco chamber of com
merce has appointed a committee tc
missioner in securing a goodly number
of exhibits from the State Of Califor
MIA. All the important California fruit
growers will be present with fine eXhib
its and the imperial court and gardens
at Earl's court have been assigned to
California, Oregon and the Pacific
States, The Royal galleries are being
reserved for the Pacific coast States, In
Guiding railroad exhibits. The Colora
do State Commercial Association is pre-
pairing an extensive exhibit to occupy
300 feet by 80 feet in the Imperial
court.
Although a large space (the Ducal
hall) has been allotted to exhibits from
the State of Illinois, the latest advices
are to the effect that more space will
be required to take in the exhibits from
Chicago and surrounding districts. The
lumber manufacturers of Tacoma,
Wash, intend to be we'll to the front
with different kinds of wooden doors,
mantel pieces and other joluery and
woodwork.
Even the Honolulu chamber Of com.
merce is using its influence among the
business community to have good and
representative exhibit of the various in.
dustries of the island. 1t is intended
that Hawaii shall have a splendid dis
play Of the resources and picturesque
features of the islands.
Among manufa ctories that have al.
ready taken space are cycle, laundry,
carriage, leather, dry goods, lumber and
woodwork and other important inter.
ests. Most of the big American rail-
ways also have arranged to give exhi-
bitiGCs, as have the transatlantic
steamship companies.
Altogether, it looks as If the Ameri.
can exhibition in London were going to
be big thing.

How she hated that twilight tea-tim..


when a certain amount of conversation
had to be got through. and she thought
herself lucky if she could turn Mrs. Her
bert on to the subject. of missions. or
Miss Fearon on chiffOns, rather than have
to answer questions of a personal nature.
She started at her maids appearance to
know if she would go down to tea.
"Oh, yes, L suppose So" she answered
lazily, and then made a move in the alb
rupt fashion of one resisting the temp
tation to delay.
Part of the house was built round a
courtyard. and on the upper stories, cor
ridors ran round this square. The SER
wants had been later than usual in light
ing up. and the corridor that she passed
along was almost in darkness.
There were light below though, and as
she glanced carelessly down, she looked
across a near angle into the room which
Stewart had taken for his own den. One
of the candles on the writing table had
apparently been hastily lighted, and the
shade not replaced. Against the table
Stewart was leaning, still in his riding
things. His back was turned to the win
dow so that she would not see his face,
but she saw that his hand rested on the
shoulder of Nellie Fearon, who stood
quite close to him, her pretty, upturned
face wet with tears, and lit by a depth of
feeling that Mathilde would not have sup
posed to be a possible outcome of her ma
ture. She stood there in the chill, dusky
gallery. with her eyes fixed on the tab
leau framed in the lighted window below.
So this was the reality, and the loyal
| comradeship and alliance was the pre-
tense.

A dental surgeon expressed the opin-
ion in the Dundee Advertiser that the
chief cause of the increase of dental
troubles in recent years Is that the
bread now generally used is made
from roller ground flour. He writes:
Some years ago l discovered that
there is an increase of about 40 per
cent during mastication in the acidity
of bread produced from roller flour,
whereas there is no such increase
when the bread Is composed Of stone
made flour. Further, I kept in an
incubator, at the temperature of the
mouth, teeth imbedded in chewed
bread made from roller flour and from
stone-made flour. Now, the teeth i'm
bedded In the bread made from old
fashioned stone-made flour decayed
but slowly, whereas those imbedded
in the bread made from modern roller
flour decayed rapidly"

To Keep Flower. Fresh,

The pleasure of receiving a gift of
bowers Is often eclipsed by the pain
of seeing them wither, and those who
remain in town during the warm
weather are sometimes greatly exer-

the flowers sent them by their more
fortunate friends in the country. There
are some who content themselves with
faithfully clipping the stalks every
day. while others add to the susie

o'clock one night and had brought the

to send a poor, little. helpless girl out
