CURIOUS THINGS FROM CHINA
The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen
Are Part of Ihe Celestial Empire's
World's Fair Exhibit.
The Chinese exhibit at the World's
Fair is filled * -with pleasing surprises.
Some of the most magnificent articles
of furniture are a part of this wonder
ful display. The carving and inlaying
of ivory , bone and wood illustrate the
marvelous skill of the Chinese.
Models included in this interesting
exhibit show the homes and home life
of the Chinese , their weddings and
funerals. Chinese tea house , restau
rant and shop , Chinese weaving and
some of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel of the Chinese and tueir
methods of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds , each of
which has the appea'rance of being a
small ' "house of great beauty. 'One is a
summer bed , the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and so
skillfully joined as to appear a part of
the -wood. The-bed and furniture are
of carved bamboo. The bed consists of
an anteroom , with tables , chairs and
tea stands , and in an inner room , which
is the sleeping apartment , there is a
couch with coverings of gauzy silks.
The winter bed is still moVe elabo
rate. It consists of three compartments.
The first contains four chairs , a tea poy
and a chest of drawers. This is the sit
ting apartment. The second is the dress
ing room , and the third is the sleep
ing apartment , or the couch itself. The
furniture is of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving of birds , flowers and
trees. The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
ors. The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns of silk
hung at the outer entrance , while the
light enters through gauze panels , hand
painted and in forms of rosewood in
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made of highly pol
ished ash' with exquisitely carved ,
bamboo figures inlaid , are shown , The
work is so artistically done that each
article seems to have been made of
one piece of wood.
There is also a large display of Chi
nese lanterns made of silk , gauze and
other light material and some made' of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau
tifully hand painted.
There are models of some of the
great Chinese temples , theaters and
arches , showing elaborate carving in
wood qnd ivory and two large elephant
tusks exquisitely

If your liver does not act reg

secure a package of Tifeilford'a
Black-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels , stirs up the torpid iiver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thcdford's Black - Drcuplit
vrill cleanse the bowels of ira-
purities and strengthen the kid

colds , biliousness , chills and
fever and all manner of sick
ness and contagion. Weak kid
neys result in Bright's disease
vrhich claims as many victims
as consumption. A 25-cent
package of Thedford'a Biack-
