WORLD'S
FAIR
Never was the United States gov
ernment so deeply Interested In an ex
position as It Is In this MIDI World's
Pair. Alieady the government's in
vestment has reached the $11,000,000
mark, and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which wero
paid out of the Insular treasury. Tho
result Is tho greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One of the Interesting government
exhibits Is the great map of tho
United Stales, worked out In growing
crops, each state being represented
by ci ops chiefly grown in that state.
This map covers six ncrcs of ground.
One who lias not seen the mnp may
have an Idea of Its immense size
when ho is told that Illinois on this
ci op map is 7 feet long. The bound
ary lines between the states are
gravel walks and the World's Fair
lsltor.s stroll at will through the
states, and receive simultaneously a

The lranie work is steel, of course,
but it Is so coveied with (lowers that
It appears to have been built entirely
of (lowers, and for that reason it Is
popularly known as the "floral clock."
C.erumny's participation in this
Wot Id's Fair surpasses anything that
that great nation bus ever done at any
other International exposition. Tho
National pavilion, on n high hill over
looking the Cascades, is a faithful
reproduction of the ancient ensile
Charlottonburg. nnd the gardens stir-
the Government Building from the
rounding It are gems of the landscape
architect's art. Germany's immeusc
pavilion, of white and gold, in the
mnmmoth Paluce of Agriculture, is
one of the features or that Interesting
building, while the Palace of Varied
Industries contains another German
exhibit of unique Interest.
Most Interest naturally centers in
the races of the airships. To win
the grand prize or flOO.UOO the sue
ccssful aeronaut must cover tho 10
mile course at the speed of lSa4 miles
an hour. Santos Dumont has several
of his wonderful machines on the
ground and Is sanguine of success.

I.acu sleeves d)cd to match the
frock are being used, as more ser
viceable than tho daintier white frills.
To Keep Ferns Fresh.
Thero Is a new way to care for
ferns thai has been found very sue
eessti.l. Once a week they must
have a Turkish bath. Put them In
tho bathroom, shut the windows nnd
doors to exclude every particle of nlr.
Then till the bathtub with scalding
water and allow tho plants to steam
for three or four hours.
Tho room should bo gradually
cooled before the plants are removed
to a cooler atmosphere. Tills process
does away cutltcly with the laborious
work of washing nnd spraying tho
leaves aud is much more satisfactory.
Pineapple Snow.

cup of cold water for an hour. Grato

ful of granulated sugar. When this is
dissolved stir in the (.elatln. Turn In
to a double holler tho water outside,

Belts.
Tho leather belt, three Inches wldo,
Is tho latest notion. Mndo stiff, It
neither dips front or hack, and Is
straight nil round and fastens with
straps. It Is not hair so pretty ao tho
flushed leather, ns sort as satin,
sparkling with a good hurness buckle.
All kinds of Icniher havo been
pressed Into tho service, and somo
of them havo tho natural hair loft on
them, Mich na cair skin. An all
round belt Is never so becoming as
thoso with a slight dip. A stock or
ncektlo of somo sort should match
tho color of the belt.
When making a curry of cooked
meat all browned spots should bo re
moved. If you wish a eako to ho light put
it Into a very hot oven nt first and
let the oven cool ufter tho first
twenty minutes.
When bluing clothes tlo tho bluo
Into u piece of flnnnel and you will
avoid unsightly blotches of tho color
on )our clothes.
Befom frying fish wipe It with a
damp cloth, next dust It thickly with
dry flour and then dip into egg and
bread crumbs.
When stewing fruit ndd tho sugar
after tho fruit Is cooked, but while It
Is still hot. In this way a smaller
quantity of sugar Is needed.
Aftor wnshlng lace ties, etc., rlnso
them In milk Instead or starching
them. Let tho lnco dry, thon damp
and iron nnd you will find it looking
quite new again.
Wet umbrellas should be stood on
their handles to dry. This allows tho
water to run out of them Inatend ot
Into the part whero the ribs nnd tho
silk meet, thus causing tho metal tr
rust and tho hIIk to rot.
For Brunettes.
A combination most becoming to
brunettes Is the blending of pnlo pink
and red. Tho pink Is used for tho
foundation of tho frock In somo soft
or gauzy fabric, with a gnruiturc of
cherry colored poppy, or evon crim
son velvet. Occasionally this order
Is reversed, nnd n red gown Is decor
ated with flowers or ribbons In palo
pink, but the result In this case Is uot
so satisfactory.
