0(8011 THE 0110 00 lar rt111,
It is fully seven miles from tho heart
of the busioese centre to the nearest
entrance gate at Jackson park, it will
cost but live or ten vents to leave the
distance behind, and you can enter the
grounds f,•eling fresh for a long day of
eight -seeing that is before you. the
Illinois Centre railroad is by all odds the
quickest anal most pleasant way of reach-
ing the Exposition. You can go by
cable, cicotrio or elevated roads and last,
but by no 01eat10 least, by steninbOat.
Of course the latter nleliuuls telco a
111u011 longer time. 1Iew yon will travel
is altogether a matter of taste and there
are lecithin to gratify tho millions. If
you are so hard to please, that none of
the many means of transit suit you, then,
as a last resort, you 000 take a "pull-
man"—pull one leg after the other—till
yon reach the grounds.
A VIoIT011's nurlleaetoes.
Ont of pure curiosity 1 paid a visit to
the exhibition and made the rounds
pretty uarefolly. I must confess 1 am
astounded at the extent of preparation
made for the World's Fair. I don't
think any city in the world would have
expended Bach an amounb of money on
fair buildings but Chicago. In conver-
sation with one of 4110 oonmissionera, be
said they had already spent $18,000,000
and expected the expenditure will reach
fully $25,000,000 before all is completed.
They have had dreadful storms of rain,
snow and wind this week, which have
played havoc with exhibitors and exhi-
bits. I have been trying to draw a c0n1-
pnri9on between the buildings for fair
parposes in Chicago, and as I saw them
in Paris in 1880. 1 mast conclude that
for extent, expense and genera] grandeur
Chicago will be fully four tinges greater
than Paris. This is a big thing to say,
but facts bear me oub. As to hotel ao•
commodabions in the vicinity of the fair
grounds, this heats everything I over
saw or oonld imagine. I think I am safe
in saying that 300,000 people 0041 be no.
oommodated within five or six blooks of
the grounds. No person, unless they
saw it, could imagine that people would
rush into such expendibnrelof money for
a six months' show. The 5oosbion to
me has been, what can he done with
011011 large structures atm the ahoy Is
over, unless to nnnvert then into poor
houses to house the speculators.
300140 0.371 0010.(0310.
Pour hundred separate buildings have
been erected, bringing under roof an area
of about 350 acres.
Director.Geneval Davis' report to the
national commission on the present co1-
dibion of the World's Fair shows that
thus far 4110 enormous total of 333,243,-
083.55 has been raised for 1110 purposes of
the Fair, Without taking into account
the cost of the exhibits whioll will
amount to many millions of dollars
more.
nee thousand English mechanics are
coiling to the World's Pair for a month's
outing, and they will pity their own 4014y,
says the Philadelphia Record. That's a
pretty good trip for "pauper" labor to
take, Bays an oxohttuge.
Memorial art palace i0 destined to be
the greatest attraction at the Flair, it Will
be the depository for the art treasnreO of
the world, but the fruits of the brash
and the ohiael will not be the only
feature ; its epaoions halls and mighty
arches shall ring with the Voice of modern
thought, booaus° here fa to be hold the
183 different oongrestes. This Intel-
leotual treat Will rival in interest if not
ourpass the combined department of
exhibits.

A few lumps of beeswax,, wrappppood oaoh
in a bit of old linen, and pat in the folds
of your white 0a1i41 or white sills gowns,
will keep them from turning yellow.
Never do up delicate oolorod sills in
white paper to lay away for any length of

ing p115:00, and it will have a deleterious
afoot upon the color of the ailk.

whore it is pooled, it la mnoh better to

A Dimple way to remove grease spots
from wall paper, paused by the head rest-

Olean blotting paper over the spot and
press it moderately warm flat -iron over it.
Repeat the operation until all the grease

Remember that the best method of
cleaning mirrors and window glass is to
rub them thoroughly with a thin paste
of whiting and water, and when this is
dry polish the glees with a dry obamoie

alcohol and cold water will also wash
windows well and gives them a brilliant
polish. Though it is not as good as the
whiting for polishing, it deed not leave
behind the .dust which whiting does.
There is no advantage in washing win-
dows with soap suds unless they are

'1'64410 Etiquette in General.
A host should not stand while carving.
Gloves are not to bo worn at the table
under any cimnmetences.
No argumentative or in any way un-
pleasant topic should be broached at the
table.
There should be no difference between
"company manners" and those in daily
use.
The napkin is not folded, but is simply
crushed and laid beside the plate ou
rising.
Coffee may be set'ved at any time dur-
ing brettkfe-t, but should come at the end
of dinner.
Do not ovat'lead the plate of n guest or
press apron any one that which they have
once doolinod.
Remember the maxim of Confuoins
"Eat at your own table ILS you would eat
at the tehle of the king."
Never say or do or countenance in
others the saving er doing of auythiug
rude or impolite at the table.
Never notice or eonlmen4 upon any 00-
oident, but render unobtrusively any as-
oistnnoe which may be necessary and
possible.
The side of the spoon is to be placed to
the mouth, except in the case of a man
wearing a moustache ; when the point of
the spoon leads the way.
When wine is served at dinner it may
be declined without breach of courtesy,
and should no more than any other arti-
ole be pressed upon the guest.
Teach the children to eat at table with
their elders, and do it in adignified man-
ner. Ib is impossible to footell what
moment may realni10 them to exemplify
their home training.
Letters, newspapers or books should
never be brought to the table, though a
very important message may bo received
and attended bo, permission being asked
of the hostess.

The following oouversation took
plane between two young girls at Ilion a
abort time ago and above that feminin-
ity is the 13141110 the world over :
My, Carrie, what a lovely hap you
have I
Do yon think so? (with a pleased
smile.) Why, I think it is just horrid.
I've told mamma every time that I've
put it ou tint I would never wear it
again.
Why, I think it is the most beooming
thing you ever wore.
Do you ? Now 7 think that veil you
have got is the most bewitching thing I
over saw. If 1 had your style --
Now, how mean you are, (blushingly.)
I know you are making fun of me,
Indeed I am nob. 011, when did you
got tlmt lovely pin ? I think it is the
prettiest thing 111avo ever seen.
Well, I will toll you. Charlie gave it
to 1110—but you must never, never toll.

Early rising was a frequent oubjoot of
contention between Nahum Briggs and
his wife. 1101' ability to wake in season
for an "early eoar4" Wltn 0 question often
mooted by Nahum and the result was
that all responsibility of waking fell up-
on flim. So it ob000ed that ono 1115114,
when it seemed to !Mrs. Briggs that her
tired oyes had but just closed, Nahum
spoke up briskly : "Como, Lucy, come ;
time ter gib up. Its all habit sleepin' so
much. The roosters are orowin' in good
sham."
His wife rubbed her heavy lido and
rose reluotantly. The clock bad stopped,
but Nahum said it was nearly six for
there was a light in Bunker's shop and
he ueually opened the store at that time.
Soon the kettle was steaming abearily,
and while breakfast was being prepared
Nahum boon his lantern and went out to
"do the chores." Ire watered and fed hie
stook and returned to oat a hearty meal.
Then they sat down to wait the first
ethnics of dawn,• but after an hour it
seemed, if anything, darker than ib was
before.
Ain't it terrible long oomin' daylight,
think ?" asked Mrs. Briggs of the Dar•
ping Judge.
"0, Pm used tor boin' ap to greet the
day," sniffed Nahum. "I guess the sun
will be around on time."
Soon his wife looked out again.
"Por the love of John Turner I" she
exclaimed. "Danker has put out his
light an' is goin' home. Do go out an'
hail him ton' find what time it is."
"It's day time, I tell ye," said Nahum,
but ho went out and hailed his neighbor.
"I dunno exactly," said Mr. Bunker,
with some moderation, "but when I shut
up shop I think it was about ten o'-
clook"
Then Nahum wont in and shut the
door.
While Mrs. Briggs prepared for a sec-
ond night's rest, he wound the 'clock and
set it. She noticed that he took it de-
cided oomfort in winding it more vigor-
ously than seemed quite necessary.
