BY THE WATER ROUTE.
The most deligbtfal, probably, though
not the speediest means by which the
visitor may reetoh the Exposition grounds,
will be by steamboat on Lake Michigan. A
ride of six miles from the embarking point
at the Lake Front park, with the towers
and gilded domes of the fair buildings
constantly in eight, will take him there.
When abreast of the sight a grand spectacle
of enrpaseing magnificence will be before
him—she vast extent of the beentiful park;
the windings of the lagoon ; the superb
array of scores of great buildings, elegant
and imposing intheir arohiteotnre and gay
with myriads cf, flags and etreemere float-
ing from their pinnacles and towers, end
to6vering above them all, the lofty Proctor
tower. - In the northern portion .of the
grounds he 'will 'see a picturesque group of
buildings, perhaps forty or fifty of them,
constituting a veritable village of palaces.
Here, on a hundred &ores or more, beauti-
fully laid out, will stand the buildings of
foreign nations, and of a number of the
States of the Union, surrounded by lawns,
walks and bede of flowers and shrubbery.
How many of them there will be cannot bs
stated yet, but it ispertain that they will
be numerous and will very greatly in size

To the left . will be the agrioultaral

Peesing the agricultural building the vie-

which lies to the westward of it and which
is oonneoted with it by a horseehoe arcade
doubling a branoh of the lagoon. It will be
nearly identical with it in size and cost,
but will differ from it considerably in ap-
pearance, being " serious, impressive and
rich in architectural line and detail,"
Chief Burnham says, " and the best work
of its designers,' Peabody -& Stearns, of
Boston."
Opposite Machinery Hall and north of it,
in the center of the "Long Walk," will

ing. To the northward of the 'Administra-

grand avenue, will be two more immense.

Is Canada to lag behind in this move-

We think not. It is the movement of
enlightened intelligence against brute force
and ignorance. Believing , that there is a
wide-epreed feeling in this country,
as in all other countries, in favor of
an eight-hour working , day, not only
among the working Masses, but among
all classes of the community, the
Eight Hour League; has been formed,
in order to bring together into one organ-
ization the oombined force of this growing
conviction. This ie'the more neoeesary, ae

one of the very firet importance, in ite
bearings on the vast social problems of the
day, and a neoeesary firet ate in the direc-
tion of an ultimate solution of those
problems.
The object of the league is to dissemi-
nate literature dealing especially with this

How Women Determine What Jewels are
Most Becoming.
A woman who has a red face will not
wear emeralds, even if an arbitrary man -
milliner sends her home e dress that
emeralds would embellish. A woman with
a poor complexion does not improve it by
pearls. These lovely and innocuous orna-
ments really derive their chief lustre from
a_traneparent akin, as they depend largely
on reflected light°. The irridesoent colors
on pearls attract notice' to the whiteness of
a white ground, but on . 'an ' ill -
colored -ground they are decidedly
vindictive. A" woman whose face, how-
ever beautiful, takes verdatres tints in
the shadows should avoid rubies, eepeoially
pink ones, andseate topazes. A face
may have thee&greenish tints without
damage to beauty, remember. I am not
selecting all the most unfortunate women I
can think of to threaten and warn. 'Every
face hie a great deal of green in it, es a
portrait painter will tell yon. Giotto (who
painted the loveliest angels conceivable)
and all his pupils made the ebadowe on
girls' faces startlingly green, and the eyes
green, too, sometimes, and yet we receive
the impression of exquisite delicacy and
brilliancy. Still, red is the complementary
of green, and it the dress should be pink,
and no help for it, the jewels nearer the
face ought to counteract it.—Contemporary

ing. They saw the little boy and girl, the

distreeeing and horrifying was the dreadful
details of the death of one young girl last

roborated by some of the neighbors, rune, so
far as it maybe told, something like this:,:
One night last fall when the unfortunate girl
now deceased was lying on the hearth she
oronohed too near the fire. Her rags caught
the theme and before they were extingdished
her body was dreadfully burned. What
she suffered no tongue oan tell, but one clay
a neighbor women who suspected some-
thing was wrong, torsed her way into the
hovel. ` She foundthis poor girl in a most
deplorable condition ; the terrible state of
the burned flesh was rapidly bringing death
to her release. But what is -most dreadful
to relate is that this girl who lived for
three or -four days after she wee burned,
gave-.birthto an infants day or two before
she expired. The child that opened its
eyes on infamy did so only to close them in
a few hours, and then be huddled into the
