verse, Is the Court OF the Four Sea-
sons, and on the east is the Court of
Abundance. Vast colonnades encircle
the courts, running from their open
ings on San Francisco harbor back to
the courts themselves. From almost
any point Of view the visitor while
traversing the courts will gain fash
ing glimpses Of the blue harbor be
tween the lofty colonnades.
The Court Of the Universe is 700
feet in width by 900 feet long and re-
sembles somewhat in shape the great
plaza approaching the Church Of st.
Peter at Rome. The effect of the court
is magnificent. Corinthian columns en-
circle it. The walls of the palaces be-
hind the columns are pompeian red,
while the vaults Of the corridors are
ultramarine blue The columns are the
shade of the exhibit palaces, a faint
ivory yellow the color of imitation
Travertine marble. The columns Of the
Court Of the Four Seasons are Roman
Ionic, modified with touch Of modern
detail. This court is $40 feet square
and opens to the north on San Fran
cisco harbor by colonnaded avenue
473 feet long and 178 feet in width.
Through passage in great niche or
half dome at the south end Of the
court it opens into the Court Of Palms.
The east court, or Court of Album
dance, is similar in size and shape to
the Court of the Four Seasons An
arcade, dominated by a great oriental
tower 27O feet in height, upon the
north avenue Of the court encireles
the court. Between the courts along
the intersect1ng east and west avenues
are great open patios where the orna-
mentation of the walls of the palaces
is very lavish. The patios are cut off
from the courts by huge colonnades,
so that each presents distinctive
scheme Of color and decoration. The
prevailing decoration of these vast
open aisles is pompeian, with shades
of green, terra Gotta, of robins egg
blue and venetian red, blended in mar
velous mosaics.

exposition, running from Feb.
IL 20 to Dec. 4, established rec
ord in exposition history by be-
ing ready in advance Of the opening
day. Here are some Of the important
facts in connection with the splendid
enterprise:
It represents an investment Of $780,
100000; it celebrates the completion of
the Panama canal; it is the first
worlds exposition in color; 1t covers
695 acres, with all main exhibit pal
aces closely connected; 1t has forty
seven miles Of exhibit atsles in the
main palaces; it Is twenty minutes
ride from the heart Of the downtown
district Of San Francisco; it enjoys un-
exampled transportation inducements;
it contains the largest frame building
under one roof in the world today,
Machinery hall, 96S by 1858 feet; it will
be the Mecca for over 400 conventions
during the year.
There are eleven great exhibit pal
aces In addition to these Festival
hall is on the grounds and seats 5000
persons, and an auditorium to seat 49,
900 persons and costing $1,900,O0O has
been built by the exposition at the San
Francisco civic center.
The result Of the work fulfills every
expectation of the commission Of ia
NOUS architects to whom was intrust-
ed the exposition design. The task
was to create an architectural effect
that would blend into and fit in with
the impressive surroundings of the site

entire circuit of the group the walls
are unbroken save by the huge and
highly decorated portals and entrances
to the exhibit palaces, by the open
ings of the courts upon San Francisco
harbOr and by the two minor courts
that open upon the South Gardens
Throughout the circuit of the vast
encircling facade there is regularity In
the architecture. In the walls Of the
stately palaces are green latticed win
dows with a wealth Of gold and terra
Gotta, showing behind the network Of
the green. The windows recall those
of the great monasteries. Indeed, sew
eral of these are reproductions of por-
tails in famous Spanish monasteries.

portals and profusion Of ornamental
trees, some Of them fifty feet in height.
and shrubs contrast with the prevail
ing ivory tint Of the walls, lending life
and beauty to the ensemble.
To give an adequate word picture of
the mighty exposition is almost Inn
possible, particularly when one comes
to a consideration Of the color scheme
and the indirect lighting system by
which neither arc nor incandescent
is present to affront the eye. And yet
approaching the exposition either from
the bay of San Francisco or from over
the hills on any Of the car lines that
travel to It's gates these are the first
features that thrill with wonder and
anticipation. -=s
Looking down on the hundreds Of
acres Of cleaning domes and lofty

The Japs Work All the Time.

Literally the Japanese work all the
time. 1t is not at all uncommon to
find japanese men and women at work
In their shops at 2, 8 and 4 o'clock in
the morning. They must work like
this or starve. They live directly in
the rear Of their places of business
Their entire household equipment com
prises few mats, a few cushions and
a little tableware. They go at their
j0b-whether it consists of making
clogs or inlaid cuff buttons, and work
and work and work until they are ex.
hausted Then they sleep a little and
go back to work. 1t does not take q
Japanese ten minutes to eat his meal
Of rice and fish. He has his festivals
OF course, and good many of them
but he works the rest Of the time, and
In many households it must be spe
cial and personal festival, connected
with some individual or faNily gods
to lure him from his occupation. He
needs the money.-Samuel G. Blythe

Mars and the Hand.

There is mount In the hands OF
persons who are said to be impressed
more In music by marches of warlike
character than anything else. 1t is a
soft, cushion-like mount within the
center of the hand proper. but is gen
orally developed toward the outer edge
of the palm.
These persons are said to be under
the influence OF Mars and to have In.
herited warlike tendencies, but it more
than usually shows an ordinary amount
Of courage that is possessed by most
persons. These are the ones who
would be thrilled by the "Marseil
laise," the Russian national hymn, the
watch on the Rhine or the "StaI
Spangled Banner" Subjects of Mars
seldom become proficient musicians oil
successful singers unless the other In
dications In their hands show Other
musical fancies.-Buffalo News.

GOOD Roads VS.. Preparedness.

The iingoes are now t,lking about
spending thres. hundred million dollars
on the navy and one hundred and fifty
m lion dollars on the army, or four
hundred and fifty million dollars per
year getting ready for wars that ought
never to come. Four hundred and fifty
million year would amount to abont
five billions in eleven yearsl That sum
would gridiron the United States with
hard roads twelve miles apart, so that NO
citizen would live more than six miles
from a good road which would enable
him to go everywhere. 1t is estimated
that farmer can haul four times as much
on hard road as on dirt road What
boon it would be to farmer to be re
lieved of the mud embargo! The sum
above mentioned would in ten years re.
volutionize the road travel and traffic OF
the country, but half that sum would pro.
badly supply present needs If we keep
our army and navy appropriations as
they are now and simply use for good
roads the sum which the jingoes desire
to add to these appropriations, the
benefits to business will be enormous.
Good roads or frenzied preparedness,
which? w J. BRYAN.

Lincoln Cromwell Of New York, at a
recent gathering of manufacturers CON-
planned bitterly because the Wilson ad-
ministration ''scorned the counsel of
business men In framing its tariff, warn
ing them away from Washington as if,
Que and all. they were robber barons. F."
Mr.. Cromwell stated the facts fairly well,
but he neglected to add, for purposes
that will be readily conceived, to state
that the business men whose counsel
was scorned were those who had written
the tariffs of 1897 and 1909 for their own
benefit and that those who were warned
away were the manufacturers who had
hired lobbyists in and out of government
employ to gain special advantages for
themselves.

KINGSLEY STAMMERED.

And George Eliot Was a Bore, Accord
ing TO Mrs. Walford.
Mrs. Walford. the novelist, published
some years ago a novel Of memories
of Victorian London, in which allu-
sion is made to many persons in the
world of letters. One of Mrs. Wal
ford's acquaintance In the faroff days
was Charles Kingsley:
"One day Charles Kingsley came in,

If he were like his photograph which
had been sent to Mary or not To
own the truth it fattered him, as he is
so very red in the face, perhaps from
leading an out of door life In all wealth
ers. - In ordinary conversation Mr..
Kingsley stammers good deal; but,
being conscious Of 1t, he has taken
pains to overcome the defect by speak
ing very slowly almost too slowly, for
when we heard him make a speech on
one occasion we felt inclined to goad
him on it became so tiresome."

described as "a man neither tall nor
short, neither stout nor thin, with fair
hair and blue eyes and a round, pleas.

In 1876 Mrs. Walford first met George
Eliot at the house of John Blackwood
in Edinburgh, and concerning that oc-
casion she says:

in disappointment. George Eliot,

CHINESE COURTESY.
A Native View Of the Oriental Brand

A Native View Of the Oriental Brand
Of PoIiteness.
A Chinese, unlike an American, who
would oppose other mems viewpoint
till it ends in an alteration, is always
courteous and answers a question with
Eyes, yes, yes, yes" In case he dis
agrees with his opponent he viii say;
"Your honor will take more time to
reach better conclusion. Your honor
is quite right, but perhaps you may
have wiser opinion later on. ], worth.
less little brother, think somewhat diff.
ferently from you. However, my lg.
norant conclusion may be wrong and
yours right I beg your excellency to
think over the matter"
But oriental politeness has its bad
aspect. 1t takes too much time. If q
guest Is leaving his hosts door he has
to turn his head and ask a dozen times
that the host should not accompany
him any farther. The same is true OF
tea drinking, and there is a great deal
Of ceremony between host and guest
So 1t Is with dinners and every social
gathering. Even in fighting duel one
on-provided both are gentlemen
viii say to the other, Pray hit me
first" The other refuses and says
"Oh, no; please you hit me first"
Politeness is especially manifested In
the form of an invitation. Few Chinese
60 to an invited dinner ON time; In.
stead they delay for an hour or So
Polite In the extreme, although con.
senting to accept the invitation, they
would not 60 to dinner until pulled and
dragged in gently rough manner by
their host. Knowing the habit of his
guests, the host always turns out all
the members Of his family to drag one
after another of his invited friends to
the dinner. A youngster Is often sent
out by his mother to hunt their guests
like hound, and. finding them, drag
them like mules to his mothers house
Observing such customs, foreigners
usually laugh, but they laugh mistak.

the hope Of reducing the high cost OF
living lies in bringing to greater per-

system.
Twenty years ago, it was asserted,
there were 10000 more postmasters than
now, but in 1915. with 10000 less post
masters, there was being transacted four
times as much business. Other speakers,
following the same lines, declared that
the volume of business handled last year

former year by IS per cent. and that an
increase of rs per cent. would occur this
year was prediction.

Farmers Institutes More Popular
Than Ever.


Both the number of farmers Institutes
held each year and the attendance at
these meetings is steadily increasing, &C.
cording to report on farmera' institute
work which has just been published by
the United States department of Agri-
culture. During the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1914, 2S,238 of these institutes
were held throughout the country. with
Total attendance of 3,65638I. This is
an increase in attendance of rs per cent
over that of any previous year. On the
other baud the expense of conducting the
work was nearly $4,000 less than last
year, the total cost for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1874, being SATISFY. 81.
The farmers institute organization con.
ducts its work under many different forms
SO that it is almost impossible to sum-
Marie its activities briefly. For example,
in addition to the ordinary meetings,
there were movable schools in IS states
which had registered attendance of
I12,498 different people. Field demos
stration meetings were also held iu IS
states, although no record of the attend
ance was kept. Special railroad trains
