A COMING BIG SHOW.
Philadelphia’s Commercial Exhibi
tion Next Fall.
Foreign Manufactures and Merchan
dise to Be Placed on View In
Compuny with American
Products.
In December last congress appropri
ated $300,000 to aid the Philadelphia
Exposition association to erect build
ings in which to hold the exhibition
next fall of foreign manufactures and
such other objects as Any be useful in
comparison with our own products. An
additional sum of $30,000 has been ap
propriated for the collection of sam
ples of foreign merchandise that are
demanded by various countries and to
illustrate liow foreign goods are pre
pared and packed for shipping. A large
tract of land has been given for the en
terprise and the erection of the build
ings is about to begin. The purpose of
the exhibition is to present in the most
striking possible way the opportuni
ties for foreign trade and the require
ments of various nations. It is de
signed for business men and in the in
terest of the export trade. In addition
to the money appropriated by the na
tional government large sums have
been provided by Pennsylvania, Phila
delphia, and a considerable number of
corporations and individuals. It is ex
pected that the exhibition will be a
great success.
Philadelphia already has a permanent
exhibition well known all over the
world as the Philadelphia Commercial
museum. It is possibly the finest ex
ample of the permanent institutions
that are rapidly being established in
various countries for the convenience
and education of manufacturers and
the promotion of foreign trade. The
larger number of them thus far are to
be found in Belgium, France and Ger
many.
The Philadelphia Commercial mu
seum occupies the large buildings on
Fourth street once occupied by the
Pennsylvania railroad as its general of
fices. The rooms are crowded with ex
hibits, arranged by countries and also
with foreign manufactures which are
exported to lands where our own goods
come into competition with them. In
the department devoted to Mexico, for
instance, there are shown not only the
products and arts of that country, but
also the goods that are now being made
in various European countries and sold
in the Mexican market. Suppose that
a Ithode Island manufacturer of cut
lery wishes to extend his trade to Aus
tralia. It is important to him to know
the quality, shape and price of the goods
now selling in the Australian markets.
At this museum he will find samples
of these, goods with their prices and can
ascertain all the technical points, for
instance, of the various sheep shears
preferred in that country.
One department of the museum is the
bureau of information which collects
and disseminates u large amount of in
formation about trade conditions in
other countries. The museum is free
to the public, but a greut many manu
facturers who desire special informa
tion bear the cost of collecting and re
porting it. The catalogue system
makes it easy to refer at once to any
article or country represented in the
museum. The institution is in corre
spondence with over 30,000 business
houses in the United States and about
20,000 in foreign countries. It is sup
ported by the city of Philadelphia and
by fees received from subscribers to
whom the regular and special reports
are sent.
When the industrial crisis that swept
over Europe in 1870 greatly reduced the
export trade of Belgium, a government
examination of the consular system
was made in the hope to devise a
scheme by which the consuls would be
more effective in promoting the com
mercial relations of the country. The
first result of this investigation was the
founding of a commercial museum in
Brussels at the expense of the govern
ment, with the twofold purpose of ex
hibiting Belgium manufactures anil
goods that might be successfully sold
in foreign countries and also to show
foreign buyers what articles suitable
for exportation could be produced in
Belgium. The Belgian consular agents
throughout the world were instructed
to send specimens of every article im
ported into or manufactured in the
countries where they were serving.
The museum w-as at once successful
and many other smaller museums were
immediately founded in other towns of
Belgium.
During the past few years France,
following the example of Belgium, has
established some 18 or 20 of these insti
tutions in her principal manufacturing
and commercial centers, and they are
regarded as an unqualified success.
Among other commercial museums,
some of them private and others sup
ported to a greater or less extent by
governments, are those in Vienna, Ber
lin, Stuttgart, Berne, Milan and Home.
A large commercial museum is sup
ported in the Japanese city of Osaka to
afford a central place for the exhibi
tion of the goods of native alid foreign
producers.—N. Y. Sun.
True Thrift.
Hicks appreciated the shrewd ns well
as the humorous sayings of the Cornish
countryfolk. There dwelt not far from
his abode a dairy woman and her hus
band who had begun life in a very small
way with one cow, and who, by industry
and thrift, had acquired quite a num
ber. “How is it,” said Hicks to her
one day, “that you have got on so well,
Mrs. P——?” “Well, you see. Mr.
Hicks.” she replied, "most people be
alius thinking of what they do want;
tut I and my old map, we be alius tliink
-1 >-, of w hat we can do without.”—Com-

ARE HEAVYWEIGHTS.
IjioiiN, Timers, Hears r.nd Oilier Wild
Animals Welsh More Than la
Generally Suppoacd.
“What does a lion weigh?” Ask that
question of any acquaintance anil see
what he will say. Those who know the
look of the king of beasts best and liow
small his lithe body really is will prob
ably come farthest from the truth.
About 300 to 350 pounds is a usual es
timate. But this is below the mark. A
full-grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hundred and
forty pounds is the record for an Af
rican lion. His bone is solid and heavy
as ivory.
The tiger runs the lion very close. A
Bengal tiger, killed two years ago by an
English officer, scaled 520 pounds. A
tiger of this size has, however, con
siderably greater muscular strength
than the biggest lion. Few people
know that a grizzly bear can give points
to any other carnivorous animal in
point of strength. A grizzly bear
weighing just 400 weight has been
w-atclied carrying a heifer of more than
two-thirds its own weight for two miles
up the most steep and rugged moun
tain side, and this without pausing for
one instant for rest. The grizzly bear
is the largest and most powerful of all
the bgar tribe, but his cousin, the cin
namon bear, runs him very close, and
the big white polar bear, though not
really so dangerous a customer, is capa
ble of performing the most extraor
dinary feats of strength. A polar bear
has been seen to move with his paws a
bowlder six men had with difficulty put
in position to guard a cache of pro
visions.—Boston Traveler.
SACRED INDIAN RELIC.
All Ceylon tn n Fever of Excitement
Over a New Casket for Uuilriha's
Sacred Tooth.
All Ceylon is wild over the fact that
the Sacred Tooth, the most famous re
ligious relic o’f the Buddhist world, has
just been dowered with a new casket.
The tooth is kept in the temple of
Dalada Malagawa, in Kandy, Ceylon.
It is reported to have belonged to
Gautama Buddha, the messiah of the
east, but Inasmuch as It is about two
inches long and one- inch wide at its
base it is more likely to have been a
part of the dental armature of some
crocodile or large pig.
The “shrine” in which it has been
kept for centuries past is a large
silver-gilt and bell-shaped receptacle.
This incloses six other shrines oi pure
gold of decreasing sizes, one placed
within the other, the last and smallest
containing the Sacred Tooth.
The new shrine, which will inclose all
the others, is a wonderful piece of work
manship in the shape of a dagoba. The
body is of massive gold, and is garland
ed with strings of jewels and sur
mounted by a splendid ruby. It is cov
ered by a silver canopy, inlaid with pre
cious stones. The whole stands some
six feet high. Its value is a lac and a
half of rupees, or $50,000, and the duties
charged by the Ceyldn custom house
were $2,000 more. This magnificent
casket was presented by the Buddhists
of Burmah. Thirteen hundred Bur
mese, 370 of whom are priests, escort
ed it from Itangoon to Kandy. The per
son into whose special charge the casket
KEEPER OF BUDDHA’S TOOTH.
was committed was an enthusiastic
Buddhist lady, who insured its safety
by disposing her spectacular propor
tions upon the casket night and day
as the party traveled by rail and steam
er. She and her 1,209 associates are
now in Kandy engaged in the perform
ance of the solemn ceremonies of re
ception and installation. Bong before
their arrival Kaluly was so crowded
by pilgrims that the military were
called out to preserve order in the pre
cincts of the temple.
The temple of Ualada Malagawa (the
words mean sacred tooth) is a compara
tively insignificant structure. To non
lluddhist visitors its chief interest con
sists in its rude frescoes representative
of the torments of hell, which are quite
as hideous and grotesque as the Chris
tian frescoes In the Caiupo Santo, ofj
Ifisa. Of the hopelessly lost, by far the |
larger part are women. The cruellest
torture chamber In the next world, it
| would appear, is reserved for thieves l
who have pilfered Buddhist priests or j
Buddhist temples.—N. Y. Herald.
The Power of Vaccination.
Victor and Harry were sliding down
■ hill together when the sled tipped over ;
ami botli the boys fell off. Victor went
to mamma crying, but Harry was not
hurt. “liow did it happen, llnrry,”
asked mamma, “that Victor was hurt
so much worse than you were?” “I
don’t know,” answered Harry, “unless
it’s because I’ve been vaccinated.”—!

WHEN WOMEN SHOP.
According to a Male Observer They
All Have a Fierce, Worried,
Far-Away Look.
An observant man says that the
women who shop all have the same ex
pression. It is a weird look, worried
and far away, but fierce, says the New
Y'orlc Commercial-Advertiser. It em
braces details, prices, colors, cuts,
shapes, flowers and feathers in one
glance. It is a look that appraises and
decides. The fabric, garment or ha! I
that can face that look without wilting
deserves admiration and respect. The
bonnet that can return that look with
out lowering its roses or showing the
white feather is worth any price
whether it comes from Sixth avenue
or the l!ue de la Paix.
Even the meek, mild and weak worn
an whose voice is like a summer zephyi
looks fiery and forbidding when she is
prowling around a shop, selecting, cal
culating and doing mental arithmetic.
There is an intense detachment about
her, an intense concentration, (hut ren
ders her for the moment almost great,
no matter how little and inoffensive she
may be on ordinary occasions.
She may be the lamb at home, bul
she is the lion of the shop. The pas
sion of shopping clothes her in dignity
and wraps her in celestial fire. She
runs against you full tilt, but frequent
ly does not see you. She treads on youi
toes, jabs you in the ribs with het
elbow, pushes yen out of your place
at a counter and swings the doors in
your face. She doesn’t mean it. She
is oblivious of you. She neither see:
nor hears nor thinks of you. You are
only a man; you are for afternoon oi
evening wear.
Sword Speech Formula.
If all of our naval heroes have not
presentation swords to burn, says the
Philadelphia Press, here is a model tc
be followed in the speech which shall
announce the next blade bestowed in
recognition of late work done upon the
Spaniard: When Caroline Amelia Eliz
abeth of Brunswick was carried over tc
England to wed that model of virtue
and deportment who was afterward sc
eager to send the poor woman home in
disgrace, George, then regent, commis
sioned a certain captain to present, with
appropriate address, a sword of honor
to Sir William Iloste, who so gallantly
commanded the ship which brought the
bride across the seas. This is the for
mula: “Billy, my boy, here be a sword
for thee.”
Potatoes Prevent Goal.
Gout is rarely known among the
working classes of Ireland. Their im
munity from this complaint is thought
to be due to the fact that their food
consists largely of potatoes.
J. D. Bridge, editor and proprietor of the
Democrat, Lancaster, N. H., says: “I
would not be without One Minute Cough
Cure for my boy, when troubled with a
cough or cold. It is the best remedy for
croup I ever used.” Eli T. Reynolds,
PRACTICE SHOOTING.
Why the Majestic, of llie English
Navy, Is a Favorite T> in
fo r Imitation.
In practicing shooting, made to re
senible service conditions as nearly as
possible, the British navy attains un
average of 30 per cent, of effective hits
but no one expects this average to hi
maintained during the excitement oi
an action, says Cassier’s Magazine, li
the Olympia had maintained this aver
age at Manila she would have made
06 effective hits, or enough to have de
stroyed the whole Spanish fleet sin
gle-handed. It is, therefore, in the
opinion of Sir William White and his
fighting chiefs at the admiralty, not
so much a matter of the number of guns
as the excellence of the shooting with
those that are provided. Moreover,
with six-inch quick-fire guns, using 75C
pounds of shot and cordite every min
ute, it becomes a matter of practical
difficulty to keep more than a certain
number of guns supplied.
It is to Sir William White’s credit thal
amid all the mechanical complexities
of the modern warship, he never lost
sight of the fact that without men a
warship was merely a costly lump ol
steel. Quick-tire guns, light and heavy
well dispersed and each with a wide
angle of fire; ample protection for gun
ners and stokers alike; plenty of am
munition, coal and supjilies; a good
gun platform in rough as well as fine
weather—these were the qualities re
alized by him in the Majestic, and these
have made her a favorite type for imi
tation by naval architects of other na
tions.
WORLD’S GREATEST RUDDER.
Pllllnilelxlliiu Holilh llie Record for
Mammoth One-Piece Steer
ing Gears.
One of the largest rudders that have
ever been cast in the world has been fin
ished by the Pennsylvania Steel Cast
ing company, of Chester, for the Amer
ican line steamship Uhynland, now-on
Cramps’ drydoek undergoing repairs.
The rudder, which was cast in a solid
piece, weighed over 13,000 pounds, and
the stern post, which was made at the
same place, weighed 9.000 pounds. Here
tofore rudders have been made in two
pieces and afterward riveted into a
solid piece; but the Chester company
cast without difficulty the rudder in
one solid mass, which experts claim
make more effective this necessary part
of the vessel.
The art of casting the rudder, says
the Philadelphia Record, is a trade se
cret which not even tlie British orGer
roau steel makers have yet been able
to discover. Rudders for foreign-built
| vessels are now being shipped from
Chester to Europe.
John Hang, the surveyor at this port
i to Lloyds’ register of shipping, stated
j that no European workers of steel
could have made a rudder the size of
the Rhynland’s in one solid piece. He
also stated that a larger rudder could
have been made if it hud been necessary,
and the work was an achievement in
l steel making whieli the foreigners have
i yet to learn from the Americans.

VIRTUES OF SPINACH.
The Homely Vetcetable Is Said to Pos
sess Wonderful Medicinal
Properties.
We are nil familiar with the patent
medicine sign which commends itseli
to us by these cabalistic words: "Foi
that tired feeling!” Now, those whe
may object to buying bottles and bot
tles of this cure for weariness may ob
tain the same results by the liberal use
of the common everyday spinach. Th§.
I French call this homely vegetable the
scavenger of the stomach, and now oui
own medical men are awakening to its
wonderful medicinal properties. It
contains salts of potassium, iron and
other things which conduce to a good
complexion, long life and a cheerful dis
position. The man with a disordered
liver and the woman with a bad com
plexion should contract the spinach
habit, and these things will be rectified.
A chemist says that this article of food
contains more iron to the square inch
than “the most renowned ferruginous
remedies.” So convinced has the medi
cal profession become of the value of the
once despised spinach that it is said
to be an important factor in several
new and popular tonics. The iron In
spinach is easily assimilated, and the
vegetable is easily digested. The fact
that spinach has such a remarkable ef
fect upon the complexion will recom
mend it to the girls, and its beneficial
effects on the liver will recommend it
to the men. In short, the virtues of the
vegetable are so numerous that it would
take a long time to tell them, but if the
spinach habit grows to anything like
the proportion reached by the oatmeal
fad, wc shall shortly turn into a strong,
iron built, fresh-complexioned, anti
bilious nation.
TO CUT STEEL BEAMS.
A Itcceut Electrical Experiment in
Chicago Which Snveii Time
and l,alior.
During the reconstruction of an
office building recently in Chicago an
interesting use was made of tile electric
current in cutting in two a cluster of
half a dozen heavy steel beams which
it was necessary to remove. These beams
were of the ordinary I sltapo and 15
inches deep. Owing to the difficulty
of getting at the beams at the place
where they were to be cut, special saws
would have been required had the
beams been cut in the ordinary way,
and it was estimated that the work
would take two men about 12 days’
time and cost about SIOO.
Instead of doing the work with hack
saws, a method was adopted such as
scientific burglars invented for getting
into safe and vault doors of steel. A
current of electricity was brought in
from the electric lighting wires in the
street to do the work. The positive
terminal wire was attached to the steel
frame work of the building, to which
the beams were riveted, and the nega
tive wire was attached to a carbon
point l/i inches in diameter, which was
provided with a wooden handle to en
able the operator to direct it along tin l
beams at the places where they were
to be cut. An asbestos shield protect
ed the operator’s body from the heat
and black spectacles protected his eyes.
In 12 hours the beams were severed,
with an expenditure of only about flve
liorse power in electric current, and
the work was done by an ordinary
workman.
Pneumonia, la grippe, coughs colds
croup and whooping cough readily yield
to One Minute Cough Cure. Use this
remedy in time and save a doctor’s hill
or the undertaker's. Eli T. Reynolds.
THE GRIEF OF PARTING.
It Is Manifested in DHTerent Ways
by n Man and a
Woman,
The man leaned right into the rail
way carriage, says the Academy. There
was positive anguish in his drawn face.
The lady inside was very pretty and
beautifully dressed; her softness of
complexion and hair, of lace and filmy
material, triumphed in the searching
glare of theelectric light, which showed
the rich luxury of every detail of her
costume.
She smiled with a pretty, regretful
tenderness as she replied lightly to his
earnest words, lie looked at her as if
he could never look long enough, as
if her face held for him the whole mean
ing of life. As the train began to move,
his fingers fell passionately on the
ungloved hand resting on the window’
!uge; then instinctively he sprang
back, raised his hat and 1 caught in full
light a glimpse of his white face.
Directly the train steamed out of the
station the lady rose, carefully rolled
up her veil and, quite indifferent to my
presence, proceeded before the mirror
in the carriage to dust her face with
a dainty pocket handkerchief and to ap
ply to forehead aud nose the minutest
layer of powder with a tiny puff. She
patted and arranged her curls, drawing
them with a hairpin into coquettish
position and curve and then, lowering
lier tell, she sank into the seat with a
sigh of satisfaction.
The Voice of I.oilfloll.
A writer in the Strand Magazine de
scribes the astonishment when, riding
over London in a balloon, at a height of
more than half a mile, he heard the
deafening roar of the great city beneath
him, as it could not be heard when on
the ground. The noise, even at that
height, was so harsh and intense as to
be painful to the ear. Ilow perfect a
sound-conductor the nir is was shown
when the balloon drifted far over the
city to a wooded part of the country,
where the murmur of the leaves moved
by the wind, half a mile below, was
distinctly heard.
\Vllllitm*M Uniform!*.
The German emperor, when receiving
foreign representatives or military at
taches of foreign powers, always wears
the uniform of the army of the coun
try the visitor represents, and some
times during a levee he will change his
uniform five or six times.
If you suffer from tenderness or fullness
on the right side, pains under shoulder
blade, constipatiou, biliousness, sick head
ache, and feel dull, heavy and sleepy
your liver is torpid and congested. De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers will cure you
i promptly, pleasantly and permanently by
removing the congestion and causing the
I bile ducts to open and flow naturally.
They are good pills. Eli T. Reynolds.
A Half-Truth.
“You don’t agree with Shakespeare
that the child i the father of the
man?"
"Not always. She is sometimes the
mother of the woman.”
Little, neglected seratrhes and wounds
frequently result in blood poisoning.
Better heal them quickly with DeWitt’s
Witch H/izel Salve, a thoroughly anti
septic application with a record of always
curing piles, old ulcers, sores, cuts,
wounds and skin diseases. Eli t!
