Of Toil
are unknown to many thousands in
the world's grand army of toilers.
It's because so few of them labor
with their heads as well as with
their hands. Thinking pays; ideas
are so much capital.
What are your ideas about grass-
cutters? You've heard about
The McCormick
No. 4 Steel Mower
It's an ideal machine. There are
more good ideas about its construc
tion than can be found in any other
mower. Probably that's why its
sales are so enormous It has the
best foot-lift to be found on any
mower; is fitted with the McCormick
cold rolled finger bar, and will stand
tie severest tests-possible to a grass
cutter. Guaranteed to work where
ethers fail.
ItVa light draft mower, and it's
durable. It's an easy winner of
field trials. It's a really valuable
mower in more ways than can be
enumerated here and it costs but
little more than a " cheap " machine.

nothing of it, and allowed it to run on for
4 or 5 weeks, when it became so obstinate
she began losing flesh. I called in a

on my trying Ballard's Horehouud Syrup;
it relieved her from tho first dose and she

"World's Faib, July 5. Special.
There is an old saying thnt all the world
loves a lover. This may be true,, but I
snouiaagoouaeai rather risk my reputa
tion for accuracy on the statement that
all the world loves a baby. We see this at
the exposition, as we see it everywhere. A
day or two ago I was walking along the
plaisance. I saw a group of people ahead
otme surrounding some object that had
excited their interest. On drawing near
I found ten or fifteen ladies and gentle
men gathered about an Algerian woman
who had in her arms a dirty-faced, scabby
little fellow of one or one and a half years,
He was dressed In the garb of his native
land, of course, and was not pretty; but he
was an infant, and a foreign in
fant at that, and the ladies and
gentlemen who stopped for a look at him
evidently thought him very cute and nice,
for the women kissed his face, dirt and
all, and the men gave him nickels and
dimes.
This was a typical incident of the plais
ance. There are a number of-foreign
babies and children here, and they attract
a great deal of attention. In the Esqui
maux village there are two or three juve
niles, fat and greasy little persons with
black, stringy hair and unlovely eyes and

Awnings keep out the strong rays of the

the nurses, trim and pretty in tneir simple
blue gowns and white caps, have more
babies in their arms, some just entering
the land of lullaby and others already
there. These are waiting their turn in the

The Soudanese children attract a good.
deal of attention, too, but for some reason
or other no one wants to pet them. They
wear great shocks ot hair on the tops of
their heads, thick as mats and causing
them to resemble small editions of
PaderewskL Possibly these hunches of
hair discourage familiarity on the part of
visitors. One could imagine almost any
thing of those top-knots, though it might
be wise not to permit curiosity to be foL
lowed by investigation.
Now that the Javanese village is open to
the world a large number of visitors with
in the quaint enclosure inquire for the lit
tie woman whose heart has been made sad
by the loss of her baby since she came to
America. The little woman's name is
Mio, and she is not much bigger than a
pint of cider, with tawny hair and' great
lustrous eyes. It Is worth going miles to
see how the women of Christendom sym
pathize with her. They have heard of her,
far and near, as the woman whose hahy
died on the plaisance, and they want to
say a kind word to her and huy something
of her. Indeed, It Is the baby, alive or
dead, that makes the whole wor'd kin.
"We'saw that a few days ago in the Da
homey village. There is a Dahomey baby,
and every one wants to see it. But every
one doesn't. Tne mother of this black lit
tle savage is an Amazon of the Amazon3.
She is six feet tall, weighs probably 200
pounds, and there isn't an ounce of super
fluous flesh on her body. She Is muscular,
active, energetic, sometimes ferocious;
especially when the awful orchestra that
plays in the theater sets up its 'wildest
howl and the drums are beat most vicious
ly. Then the blood is stirred in her
Amazonian veins, she brandishes her war
club with mighty swings, shows her teeth
as if she would like to eat some one alive,
and lets off a whoop of savage defiance.
But she is a woman, nevertheless; and
when they send word to her that her baby
has roused from its slumber in the
thatched mud-hut down in the corner of
the corral she drops her war club and her
voice and .starts on a run to give baby
comfort from the ample breast of her stal
wart body. This Dahomey baby thrives
and grows fat, notwithstanding, the war
like tendency of its mother; and it is, as
well, quite a source of revenue to the
Frenchman who set up this village from
the west coast of Africa. So many visitors
want to see the little savage babe that a
regular admission fee of 10 cents has been
charged for some time, and the number of
visitors must amount to five or six hun
dred in a day. A baby that can lie on its
black back and sleep and occasionally
wake up to howl for its Amazonian moth
er and fight oS a flea or two, and at the
same time earn forty or fifty dollars a day,
is a pretty smart sort of an infant, even if
it does come from the benighted land of
savagery.
In the Dahomey village is a little chap
about five years old. He is as ugly as sin
and he doesn't wear much to hide his
hideousness. But with all his ugliness of
body he seems to have an amiable disposi
tion, for the other day he fell violently in
love with a pretty little American girl and
ran up to her and threw his black, bony;
arms around her. Uddly enough the little
American was not a bit frightened, but
laughed and thought the performance a
good joke, enjoying it as well as did the
large number of people who witnessed it.
Possibly she thought savage adoration of
her civilized charms was quite the proper
thing, and this tribute thereto though
somewhat too demonstrative was not to
be despised or rejected
If you want to see babies at their best,
and the popular love for them at its sweet
est pitch, leave the plaisance and the sav
ages and go into the Children's building
which stands just south of the building
devoted to woman. I don't know who it
was that first thought of this idea of hav
ing a children's building here at the fair,
but whoever she was or course it was a
she is deserving a monument. It was
one of the happy ideas of the Columbian
exposition, and is working out better than
its best friends could have hoped for. The
idea was, you will remember, to have a
childrens' building in which there should
be toys, and playrooms, and a nursery,
and all that sort of thing. Well, they
were a little late in getting everything
ready, but it is in full operation at lastr
and there is nothing within the gales of
the fair that attracts more attention or
elicits more favorable comment than this
structure devoted to babies and children.
The idea kef t growing and growing and
taking in new feature after new feature
till it is finally a pretty comprehensive
I flair. There is not very much in the
J.'orld of babyhood thnt is not shown here,
jid shown to best possible advantage.
There is a crowd at the Children's build-
that
skillful
care, they did not make the building large
enough to accommodate all comers. Every
day mothers with weary arms and hag
gard faces that tell of the struggle they
have been making to see the exposition
and take care of their babies at the same
time, present themselves at the door of the
nursery only to be disappointed with the
word that all the space is taken.
In one of the nurseries babies are ad
mitted along with their own private
nurses, and I made the suggestion to the
ladies in charge of the building that they
amend their rules and keep out such in
fants as were already provided with regu
lar attendants. People who have nurses
employed to look after their infants should
remain away from the Children's building
and leave what room there is in that bene
ficent structure for the accommodation of
babies who have no nurses except their
tired, mothers. If the Children's building
is good for anything it is as a haven of
rest to babies who have been inade sore
and peevish by being lugged about the
fair grounds, without the opportunity for
restful sleep, and for the mothers who
have carried them about from building to
building with aching limbs and weary feet.
One of my own babies was left here a day
or two in charge ot nor nurse, and it
seemed a great, convenience to all con
cerned. But as soon as I discovered that
there wasn't room enough in the nurseries
to accommodate the nurseless babies I
said mine could remain at tho hotel. If
tho ladies in charge of the building are
wise they will make a rule that only
babies without nurses shall be admitted.
Upstairs aro some more interesting baby
pictures. There are class-rooms in which
you may look through another gloss parti
tion and see about fifteen little men nnd
women poing through the kindergarten
exercises. There are plenty of people in
this country who have never had an op
portunity to see what a kindergarten is
like, and this is an opportunity which
they hail with much delight. It is a pretty
scene, : enough, and familiarity seems
never to rob it of its fascinations. Besides
the kindergarten there is a school room in
which sloyd is shown in full operation.
Sloyd is something comparatively new in
this country, but as near as 1 can make
out it is an enlarged sort of kindergarten,
suitable oiler children and extending
tho Froebel principle through a great
variety of exercises, thoughts and train
ings of the mind. In sloyd they use all
the geometr: forms, as they do in kinder

End or Volapak In Frsacc.
Hany persons will perhaps breatha a
eigh of relief on hearing that Volapuk is
doomed in this country at least. French
business men will havo none of it. Its
most energetic apostle and propagator
has been sent away from th6 Paris head
quarters of the Volapukists and is now
filling an important post as professor of
German in a provincial college. This
being the case, the members of the
French association of Volapukists have
decreed the dissolution of their society.
Nevertheless they had at one time great
hopes of success, and their strange jar
gon was almost elevated for a while to
the rank of a fashionable fad.
Lectures in the new language, which
was to undo all tho damage wrought by
the Babel affairjong ago, wero attended
by numerous students of both sexes,
and small sheets in the strange com
pound of tongues were disseminated
every week among adepts and tho gen
eral public. By degrees the craze died
out, and the number .of Volapukists in
Paris dwindled down to a few enthu
siastic persons full of sentiments peculiar
to thoso who cling through tliick and
thin to lost causes. Paris Letter.
The Confirmation of Eckels.
Tho confirmation of Mr. Eckels as
comptroller of the currency is a victory
for Mr. Cleveland, who played a high
game and won. It is now known that it
caused no little feeling on tho part of
Secretary Carlisle, who did not think
that Eckels was a fit man for the post
and said so. Nevertheless he would not
antagonize the president in the question
of confirmation. Persons who well
know the feelings of tho president say he
is greatly encouraged as to the future,
including the senate's reputed hostility
on tho silver question.
Tho line of battle against the president
was formed, and word sent that if he
would save himself from defeat, he should
withdraw Eckels' name. To which he
is said to have replied, in substance, that
if senators chose they might reject the
nomination, and he would see them later.
This had the effect of producing a sober
second thought, and Eckels was con
firmed. Persons who know the new
comptroller say he will astonish Wall
street and other financial centers beforo
he has been long in office.

"Within the memory of man thero has

be a message from the sinking ship. This
happened as usual in tho case of the lost
White Star liner Naronic. On a beach
near the month of Chesapeake bay a
champagne bottle was fouud, inclosing
a paper telling that tho Naronic struck
an iceberg early in the morning of Feb,
19 in a blinding snowstorm, and at that
time was sinking. While it is not nn
possible that tho Naronic inay have met

" The ship on tho 19th of February

The Queen Doesn't Count In Politics.
Wo aro a self governing country. Tho
occupant of the throno reigns, but does
not rule. Tho queen's political opinions
are her own. They havo no more to do
with thoso cf tho electors than those of
any other lady in the realm. Her maj
esty's subjects neither know nor, with
all respect be it said, care what Bhe
thinks upon home rule or upon any
other political issue. On such matters
they take tho liberty to act upon their
own opinions, and no revolutionist can
do a worse service to the crown than by
attempting to make political party cap
ital by- asserting that she favors one
party and disfavors another.
In 1880 there were many reasons why
the Tories were defeated. Not the least
of them was that Lord Beaconsfield en
deavored to convey an impression that
the queen was strongly opposed to their
defeat. Yet, unwarned by experience,
it is obvious that it is intended to appeal
to the country to put an end to Mr.
Gladstone's government by asking it to
regard this government as injurious to
the queen's health because she is so fer
vent a Conservative and Unionist. Lon

Children Over Six Hundred Years Ago.
Somebody has unearthed a book writ
ten by Bartholomew Anelicus about
12G0, of which one of the most amusing
chapters is on tho children of his day.
Of these ho writes: "They dread no
perils more than beating with a rod, and
they love an apple more than gold and
make more sorrow and woo for tho loss
of an apple than for tho loss of a heri
tage. They desire all that they see and
pray and ask with voice and with hand.
They keep no counsel, but they tell all
that they hear and see. Suddenly they
laugh, and suddenly they weep. Always
they cry and jangle and jape; that un
neth they be still while they sleep. When
they be washed of filth, anon they defile
themselves again. When their mother
washeth and conibeth them, they kick
and sprawl and put with feet and with
hands, and withstand with all their
might." All of which sounds very mod
ern and up to date.

Vienna's Uachclr r Club.
Oiu Vienna correspondent is able to
contradict a misleading report. It has
been said that a club of men of position
has been formed in that ity for the as
sistance of young women of humblo sta
tion who may aspire to marriage with
them. A new club has indeed come into
being, but it is of quite another sort. It
is a club of professed bachelors a eeli
bato order of dandies. It derives its
origin no doubt from a well known Lon
don institution which bears tho samo
name. But our Bachelors' club binds ita
members by no self denying ordinance
in regard to the future, and we believe
it demands not more than that candi
dates shall havo been single at one time
in their lives. That might lo tolerated
as a passing condition, but it is a very
different thing to shut the door to re
pentance forever.
The Viennese women aro justly in
censed, and some threaten to retaliate by
forming another society pledged to a
stern refusal of all offers from tho Bach
elors' club. This implies the belief that
the bachelors cannot possibly keep their
vows, and it proves to be in singular har
mony with experience. They have broken
them by anticipation. An indignant wo
man has openly charged tho president
with frequent promises of marriage to
herself and has demanded his deposition.
In all probability tho institution will

sponse of Pern has been equally quick
and unequivocal. She has expressed her
regret for the occurrence, so that the
apology duo to tho government is prac
tically complete, and tho proper amount
of indemnity can easily be settled. This
little incident, sprung upon the new state
