Tie earfew ertUaaace MI FH PHILADELPHIA The United States has had many large expositions in the past 25 years, great World's Fairs where the prod ucts of the "world have been" displayed but the first thoroughly American ex position ever given will be the Na tional Export Exposition to be held In Philadelphia during the coming fall. This will be a national display of American manufactures for the ex pansion of export trade. The' best of everything will be on view and the vast inroads already made In the com merce of foreign countries by our manufacturers will be increased. In addition tcj this great display of goods made In the United States there will be samples of the goods made In England, Germany and France which sell read ily In foreign countries, arranged so that our manufacturers can study them and meet the competition of foreign manufacturers. There will also be a department of the exposition which will illustrate the methods in which goods should be labeled, packed and shipped so as to readily sell in foreign countries. In connection with the ex position an International Commercial Congress will be held during October. To this will come delegates from every one of the commercial centers of the world, representatives of foreign gov ernments, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, and business men who want to study American manufactured goods with a view to exporting them. It will be the greatest gathering of foreign merchants ever held in the United States and is expected to be beneficial to the commercial interests of our country. The National Export Exposition has been officially recognized by the United States government, congress having appropriated $350,000 toward it The legislatures of many states have aided it and given It their official sanc tion. The governors of most of the states have requested manufacturers to make creditable displays. All the money necessary for the erection of the buildings and maintenance of the exposition has been raised and its suc cess Is assured. The exposition grounds will cover 70 acres and will be laid out In an artistic manner. The buildings will be novel in construc tion, massive and beautiful. The main building will cover eight acres of ground and will be constructed of steel and brick. There will be over 200,000 square feet of exhibition space In this buldlng In addition to a beautiful auditorium with a seating capacity of 5.000. The manufacturers of -agricultural implements took hold of the exposi tion with such vigor and applied for so much space fcuat it became necessary to erect a special building for this class of exhibits. This will be 160x450 feet in size and in it will be displayed every description of farm Implements and machinery. There will also be a afield of 20 acres for the proper dis play of windmills, field engines, etc Every manufacturer of farm machin ery or agricultural Implements should be represented in this building as it will afford unusual oDjportunlties for the showing of the merits of goods, not only to foreign buyers but also to the thousands who will flock from all parts of the country to see the first American Exposition of American manufactures. In addition to the many detached structures for special exhibits, there will be a transportation building In which will be shown locomotives. freight and passenger cars, electric cars, automobiles, etc The amusements to be provided will be of an elevating and instructive char acter. There will be dally concerts In the auditorium by leading organlza-J tions of the United States. On a broad esplanade, 800 feet long, and nearly as wide as the Chicago court of honor, will be located villages in which will be shown the habits, customs, modes of life and amusemeats of the Inhabi tants of the Philippines, Hawaiian Isl ands, Porto .Rico, Cuba and China. The villages will be peopled by aatives of those countries, brought to this coun try expressly for the expssiUea. la the Chinese village there will be .over 49$ people.

It will prove interesting to every American who takes pride in the extension of bis country's trade and of especial value to farmers as the dis play of farming Implements and ma chinery will be one of the most com prehensive ever made. CRANE AS A CORRESPONDENT. Elchard Harding- Davis Writes of ITU Absolute Fearlessness. Near the close of .the war a group of correepondeats In -Porto Rico made out a list of the events which, In their opinion, were of the greatost news value during the campaign, and a list of the correspondents, with the events each had witnessed credited to his name, says Richard Harding Davis in Harper's Magazine. Judged from this basis, Mr. Crane easily led all the rest Of his power to make the public see what he sees. It would be Impertinent to speak. His story of Nolan, the regular, bleeding to death on the San Juan hills. Is, so far as I have read. the most valuable contribution to lit erature that the war has produced. It is only necessary to imagine how other writers would have handled It to ap preciate that it could not have been better done. His story of the marine at Guantanamo, who stood on the crest of the hill to "wigwag" to the war ships, and so exposed himself to the fire of the entire Spanish force, is also particularly Interesting, as It illus trates that In his devotion to duty, and also In his readiness at the exciting moments of life. Crane Is quite as much of a soldier as the man whose courage he described. He tells how the marine stood erect, staring through the dusk with half-closed eyes, and with lips moving as he counted the answers from the warships, while in numerable bullets splashed the sand about him. But It never occurs to Crane that to sit at the man's feet as he did, close enough to watch his lips move and to be able to make men tal notes for a later tribute to the marine's scorn of fear, was equally de serving of praise. Crane was the cool est man, whether army officer or civ ilian, that I saw under fire at any time during the war. He was most annoy lngly cool,, with the assurance of a fatalist When the San Juan hills were taken, he came up them with James Hare of Collier's. He was walking leisurely and, though the bullets passed continuously, he never once ducked his head. He wore a long rain-coat and, as he stood peering over the edge of the hill, with his hands in his pockets and smoking his pipe, he was as un conscious as though he were gazing at a cinematograph. The fire from the enemy was so heavy that only one troop along the entire line of the bills was returning It and all the rest of our men were lying down. Gen. Wood, who was then colonel of the rough riders, and I, were lying on our elbows at Crane's feet &nd Wood ordered him also to He down. Crane pretended not to hear and moved farther away, still peering over the hill with the same In terested expression. Wood told him for the second time that if he did not lie down he would be killed, but Crane paid no attention. So, in order to make him take shelter, I told him he was trying to impress us with his courage and that if he thought he was making 'me feel badly by walking about he might as well sit down. As soon as I told him he was trying to impress us with his courage he dropped on his knees, as I had hoped he would, and jwe breathed asain. VATICAN AND QUIRlNAL. A generation ago schoolboys used to find in the center of, the map of Italy a section entitled "States of the"'Church." Since 1S70. when the' Italian troops marched into Rome and took posses sion of it as the national capital, this title of the pope's temporal dominion has disappeared from the atlas; bat the pope has not reaouaced his claim to be the rightful sovereign' of the mediaeval States ef the Caarca. When the Italian klagdoas aad ftiaela&lKiea were salted ay-Cavour'a j EXPOSITION. diplomacy. King Victor Emanuel's campaigns and Garibaldi's valor, Rome was the only possible national capital. Cavour decreed that there should be a free church in a free state, and the Italian parliament has resolutely re fused to recognize the rights of tem poral sovereignty once exercised by the popes. Rome In the course of thirty years has doubled Its population and become one of the great capitals of Europe. The Vatican has been helpless in this conflict with the state. Its Swiss guard could not offer resistance to the national army, but could only perform police duty at the Vatican and the Lateran where the old-time papal privileges are reserved by law. The Vatican, however, has clung tenacious ly to the traditions of its ancient rights, and refused to make any com promise with the state. Pius IX. and Leo XIII. have taken the same position on this question, and charged the state with usurping what once belonged to the Latin Church exclusively. This Is a brief statement of what is known in Italy as the conflict between church and state. It is a bitter quar rel between the Vatican and the Qulri nal, and there is no immediate pros pect of any settlement of the-questlons at issue. If the Vatican were willing to be reconciled with the Quirihal, its pos sessions would be altered in Europe and its resources of power would be greatly diminished. If peace were made, the pope would be regarded at the Austrian, German and other courts as uhe chaplain of the king of Italy. My Jjitly's SeTTlnjr Screen. A delightful decorative and useful note in my lady's morning room is the sewing screen, a gracious little affair combining all the comforts of thread basket pincushion, needle case, work bag, catch-all and table. One such screen, which graces the bedroom cor ner in the home of a busy little house wife. Is fashioned of yellow denim and a delicately flowered yellow silk, and can be very easily carried out in any color by a pair of clever hands. The framework, which consists of two leaves eighteen Inches wide. Is about three feet high and Is covered from the outside and fastened on the inside cor ners with fancy gilt nails. Each leaf Is divided into three parts, the upper and lower given over to pockets made of the silk. A needle case covered with silk and a pincushion of yellow plush 'hang from the top of each leaf, re spectively. Two flat pieces of paste board covered with the silk fall against the middle division of each leaf, one being held by ribbons to form a wide pocket the other standing for a small shelf or table when caught by ribbons to two fancy-headed nails on eiuer side of the screen above. Going to Bed. No matter how busy one may be. It is quite possible to always find time to attend to one's toilet at night One should not simply drop one's clothes, and tumble into bed, else neither one's self nor the clothes will look attractive in the morning. Have plenty of hot water, and give your faco a thorough laving. The result will be as refresh ing as an hour's sleep. Brush the hair, it will be glossier and thicker for the trouble, and your nerves will be sooth ed by the process. Then drink a glass of hot milk, weak cocoa, or even hot water, eating a biscuit or a bit of toast If you like. When the small sup per Is finished, you will be ready to go to sleep without any insomnia cure, and In the morning you will waken re freshed and thoroughly in good humor with yourself and the world. Bat Beware of the Xesalt. You begin by declaring that If any one will write something oa a piece. of paper, yoa -rill undertake to Bay what there is upon it Should anyone desire to test you, tell him, when he has writ ten sosiethmg on a piece of paper, to roll it up small and hold the paper straight op la his hand, aad, after TffflTflng- him hold It up a number of diSereat ways, say: "Now place the paper on the ground In the middle oi the room, and in order that I may not have the chance of lifting it up in the least please place both your feet upon it I will then proceed o in form you at once what Is on the paper." After going through all sorts of ma neuvers to mislead the spectators, and keep alive their curiosity, you finally turn to the gentleman who Is standing with both feet on the paper, and say: "I have undertaken to state what was upon that piece of paper. You ore up on it" "OLD PARIS" AT THE FAIR. Reconstruction of City In 17th Century an Interesting' Feature. One of the most Interesting of the private enterprises at the exposition In Paris In 1900 will be the reconstruc tion of "Old Paris." Already the tur rets, gables and scaffolding reveal the general ensemble of the several his torical "quartlers" and building of tho Paris of the seventeenth and eight eenth centuries, says the New York Mall and Express. The idea is to re produce streets of the time of Louis XIII. and XIV. and to people them with the costumes and dresses cf the period. The "Old Paris" will be built on piles and will extend on the Seine from the Alma bridge to the Jena bridge on a surface, part of concrete and part wood, of 20,000 square feet with a frontage on the river of 850 feet The part of the "Old Paris" Immediate ly over the Seine will be supported by 900 piles at a height of sixteen feet about high-water mark. The princi pal entrance will be off the Alma bridge. It will be a reproduction or the old St Michael gate. Past the St Michael gate the traveler will come to a square, the famous Pre-aux-CIercs, the meeting place of the duelists of the time of Louis VII. Off the pre-aux-Clercs to the left will be the monas tery of Chartreuse du Luxembourg, founded by St Louis and destroyed during the revolution. Immediately opposite will be the three-steepled edi fice of the ParloIr-aux-BourgeoIs, the city hall of the middle age, and a little farther on Is a tower of the old Louvre. From each side of the Pre-aux-CIercs a Btreet will lead to a second square, where the Cluny cloister will be feund, together with the Pllon of St. Germain de3 Pres and various other picturesque, old-time edifices. In one of these,' called the "Poets' Garret," a theater will be built, where old-time plays will be acted. The two streets will be known as the Rue des Ramparts and the Rue des ViellesEcoles. The last named will contain a number of fa mous houses, among others the paper hanging shop of Poquelln, where iiouere was born; the house of Nicolas Flamel, that of Theophraste Renandot and that of the Etienne. A third square, the Place St Pullen. will have on one side the little church of St Julien de3 Menetlers and on the other the old and beautiful chamber of ac counts, built in the sixteenth century and burned In the eighteenth. Behind the chamber of accounts will be th Grand Cour de Paris, on which ,wlll face some famous private residences of old Paris, such as the Hotel des Ursius the Hotel Collgny and the Hotel Sar dlnL A little further will he the fa mous Pont au Change, destroyed by fire In 1621. and the .prison of the Grand Chatelet, where they will serve beer and sandwiches. Instead of water and black bread. Thought He Understood. "HI, there," called the guest who wanted to add something to his order. The waiter, however, merely looked back, nodded and went on. Fifteen minutes later he brought on the wood cock, done to a turn. "Walter," said the guest, "this Is overripe." "Yes, 6lr; didn't you holler to me you wanted It hlghr Thtegs to Pasxla Orer.
