naut. THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION
WHAT It TEACHES.
Imagination becomes stupid when It at
tempts to grasp the dazzling splendors of
the Columbian Expo-ition. Contemplat
ing it, one sees the genius of civilization in
all nations ; nature and art iti their highest
and niOTt perfect development; every thing
to fascin&'e tho riyo and lend inspiration.
It can be t.nid, indeed, that the one oppor
tunity of a lifo is given to see the great
Vorld as it is. No such show was ever
gathered together in any age of the past.
A vis.it to it means broader enlighten
ment and a knowledge of all the people of
tbo earth. No person, therefore, can afford
to let tho opportunity pass without mak
ing an honest elibrt to see it. Despite the
fact that extortion is practiced in some of
the walks of Chicago the Fair can be seen
icr a nominal sum or money, xtanroaa
rates will bo reduced nearly cne-bnlf sooner
or later, and it is possible lor every person I
in moderate circumstances to ujoy n
benefits awl profit by the uuparalloled ad
vantages for enlightenment. Higher civil
ization commands etery person to make
EBcriflceB for the great Exposition.
Those intending to visit tlio Fair should
Becurowhat is known as the ".Economic
Guide to the World's Fair," published by
Farnsworth, Cowing & Co., 307 Masonic
Temple, Chicago, 111. The price Is $1.00.
It will save strangers much time and money
in locating and securing rooms where
prices are surprisingly low. It can be
said, indeed, that one can live almost as
cheaply as though he were under his own
vine and fig treo. Very many citizens of
the "Windv City" believe that there will be
sometliing'to live for af ter the Exposition
and are acting accordingly. This class
are throwing open their doors to the per
son of moderate means, and their hearth
stones and hospitality can be enjoyed.
Every person can save from $10 to A9, ac
cording to the length of their stay in Chi
cago, bv knowing what to do when reach
ing Chicago, and those who contemplate
visiting the Fair can see the wisdom of im
media.ely sending for one of these Eco
nomic Guide1, which is all the name im
plies. The great Fair can be seen in all its
glory by rich and poor alike. Sons and
daughters of the farm can seo tho richness
of the tropics, nature in its grandest
beauty; the world of arts, the products of
the eael nnl the shops and with them
almost everything that has ever been con
ceived by the mind of man, and,aside from
tmvplinsexnenes, at but little more than
l,tl:ig fnht.
The Coiuun.iun ExpoMtion is teaching
the greatest lesson ot life. For this end
nations intermingle and place their handi
work bide by side. The products of the
European farm and garden invito inspec
tion on the same plnne with the products
of the American farm and garden. So iu
ovary other department of the world's
busy life. The quaint draes of the Turk
can be compared with that of these iu
higher civilization, and so can tho dress of
tho people of every land and clime, with
their customs. lmb:ts, and modes of life.
And. withtd, the "Old Liberty Bell" hangs
within the Pennsylvania State Building,
chiming the sweet words "freedom forall."
Yet great guns and munitions of war 6tand
without attestingtho colosal power of the
nations, and the 6ad havoc that could lie
wrought if they should engace in a

HER OPPORTUNITY.
When Mrs. Babbs was courted by
Mr. Babbs that estimable young
farmer experienced no difficulty in
encircling her supple waist with his
stron j right arm. Even after scvoral
years of married lifo her slender
iigurd was tho pride df her' heart and
the delight of her eyes. Thon, for
no well-ascertained reason, Mrs.
Babbs begin to grow stout
Not long after this mournful dis
covery Mr. Babbs was brought into
the house in a dying condition. He
had fallen from a load of hay and im
palod himself in a picket fence,
though why it should not havo been
just fig easy to fall on the side
farthest from tho fence Mrs. Babbs
could never satisfactorily determine.
Physically Mrs. Babbs bore her
affliction bravely. Grief seemed to
agrco with hr and Bho thrived
amazingly under its loaden sway.
But her temper suffered proportionr
atclv It enrarcd her that she codld
hot 'dWindle sadly way and droop
uituuusuiuieiy anu iook sweeny in
teresting, as Mrs. Lucrctia Barnes
hod done when her lamented spouse
was ferried over tho Acheron. She
swallowed untold measures of vino
gar with her soup and beans and
rigidly eschewed potatoes and but
ter and other such geierators of aii
poso matter; but it was of no avail.
Week by week she increased in glob
ularity and weight. Her nrghty
stop made the windows rattle again
in their sashes and the circumference
of her waist, or at least that part of
her anatomy cneirclod by apron
strings and popularly supposed t j bo
her walbt, was a secret wiiieh htfr
dressmaker fttoilo possessed.
One day, however, a faint streak of
silver edged tho dark-hanging clouds
of Mrs. Babbs' despair. A newspaper
paragraph, setting forth the wondor
ful euros of undue tiorpulency, nd
matter by what superinduced, ef
fected liy an extraordinary physician
in an adjacent city, fell under her
credulous oyo and hope eternal onco
more sprang up in her capacious
breast.
She opened a correspondence with
the man of miraclos. gently lrnting
at her ample girth and the unhappi
ness it caused her. Tho modern Hip
pocrates was honored by Mrs. Babbs'
application. Ho would euro her or
refuse all recompense for his services;
but as Mrs. Babbs declined visiting
him, he would bo under the necessity
of visiting her, and taking hot meas
ure for divers elcctro-magnetid
braces, bolts and pads, of which his
course of treatment consisted.
A day or two af tdr Mrs. Babbs had
dispatched her summons, a middle
aged gentleman with very red whis
kers and a necktie to match made his
appearance at hor door. Mrs. Babbs
was very much pleaded with the
eminent doctor's promptness and
made colossal haste to admit him.
Mrs. Babbs, I presume," said tho
red-whiskered stranger.
Yes, sir. Walk right in, doctor,"
answered Mrs. Babbs with a bulky
smile.
"So you oxpected me?-' inquired
the doctor, taking a seat in tho par
lor opposite Mrs. Babbs and careful
ly arranging his glowing tie.
"Oh, yes. Not quite so soon, per
'aps; but I thought it wouldn't be
long 'foo you'd come."
Hum," said the doctor looking
slightly perplexed, yet gazing at
Mrs. Babbs with a critic's oyo. "Only
tweuty-fivo stone or so," ho mur
mured to himself disappointodly. "I
was in hopes she was larger. " Then
aloud to Mrs. Babbs: "How old are
you, ma'am?"
I dunno as thet's got ennything
tcr do with the matter," she rejoined
with some asperity.
Oh, no ofrense. ma'am, no offense.
I only wanted to know in order to
better estimate your chances."
1 won't bo -14 till next November,"
she whispered huskily.
Good heavens! As old as that!"
exclaimed tho doctor, strangely star
tled. Mrs. Babbs, it is duo to her to say,
had an acutely disheartening sense
of being a little toa full blown to
quite deserve this compliment; yet
she did not openly disclaim it, but on
the contrary cast hor eyes down in
very fair imitation of tho coy em
barrassment of tender youth.
This little bit of acting was, unfor
tunately, lost upon the doctor, who
was pulling absently at tho lobo of
his ear and muttering to himself.
Too bad," ran his thought "If
she'd been ten years younger now,
there might havo been soino hope.
But forty-four! Too old, too old, 1
fear."
Then producing a leather memo
randum book, ho made a short entry
in it.
Will you oblige mo by standing.
Mrs. Babbs?" ho asked, sucking the
end of his pencil and holding his
book open with a rather dirty thumb.
"I should like to study your entire
proportions all at once."
Mrs. Babbs coughed confusedly.
It seemed to her that the doctor had
a very blunt and disagreeable way of
putting things. Nevertheless, with
an effort, she assumca a perpendicu
lar position and stood swaying upon
her mountainous toos in painful simi
larity to a balloon tugging at its guy
ropes before being set adrift
Hum,"' said the doctor with a
curious sound of ingurgitation. Then,
peering at her through his half
closed eyes with critical computation:
"About five foot four, I should say,
Mrs. Babbs."
"Ef you mean my height, thet's
jest it," replied Mrs. Babbs, growing
red again and gazing with disquie
tude at the memorandum book, in
which tho doctor was making an
other entry.
Weight?" inquired tho doctor,
holding his book in readiness for
still another entry.
Mu-jt you know how much I
weigh?" exclaimed tho poor lady
ipiteously.
Most assuredly, ma'am. That
ranks above everything in a case
such as yours."
Oh, dear! Well, cf I must tell. I
must," replied Mrs. Babbs with tho
logic of despair, and getting out her
handkerchief and covertly wiping
away a tear that would persist in
dimming her riffbt eye. :Tho las'
time I weighed myself I tochefl. 351
Bounds, an' I know I've gained eonco
then. I kin tell it by my my dross."
Hum. hum,-- .said the ddctor, 9
gteani of .satisfaciiod shooting1 from
his eyes. "So you think you're gain
ing all tho time do you?"
"I'm sar tin of it," answered Mrs.
Babbs with hopeless conviction and
making ponderous preparations to
resume her chair.
"Don't sit down yot. if you please,
Mra Babbs," said tho doctor, hastily
rising. "I should like to measure
you first " ; ' . s .
. Mrs.. Babbi sighed. THe doctor
took a tape-measure from his pockot
and approached her.
"Let mo seo the waist first, I
think. Yes tho waist first Fifty-one
inches! Why, that's not bad,
not bad at all. 1 must put that
down," calling tho memorandum
book into play again. "Now tho
I arm, Mrs. Babbs abovo tho elbow.
I Not quite eightosn inches!" ho ex
claimed", disappomtodly. "lou
Ought td havo a better arm than that
with such a waist," ho added with
some severity.
"Yhy, why whdt do you mean,
doctor?" iniuired bewildered Mrs.
Babbs, sinking helplessly into hor
chair.
Let mo seo. said tile djctor with
an abstracted air.paying no attention
to Mrs. Babb's remark. "Let me
sao. Age, forty-four; height fivo
four; weight, three fifty-one; waist
fifty-two inches; arm, seventeen and
thrcc-quartors. Won't do, I'm
afraid. Too old for much iniprovo
tnont and height's against her. Pity,
too. Good nratsrial, but .not culti
vato'l properly. No caro taken of it
toS bal. Do you cat plenty of
good fattening food, Mrs. Babbs
potatoes, mush and so on?"
Goodness gracious mo!" ga-pod
Mrs. Babbs. "What air you talkin'
about, doctor? Dj you s'poso I want
to git any fatter 'n I am? I thought
you was going ter do suthin' for mo
that would lean rad down? I can't
un'crstan'you!"
Mr.-. Babbs clutched the arms of
her chair in dire confusion of mind
and looked anxiously at the doctor
for a comforting reply.
But that individual retreated hasti
ly to the other side of tho room.
"Tho woman's as mad as a March
haro!" ho ejaculated, peering about
fo. some convenient exit in case of
necessity.
Mrs. Babbs arose from her chair
quivering like a huge mnula df jolly
with rage.
See here," sho said sternly, trans
fixing tho unhappy man with her
flaming eyes, "I want ter know what j
all this performance means. Hev
vou come here ter make game of me 1
or hov you come ter measure mo for ,
them 'lectric things you made sech a 1
fuss about in your lottcrs as bcin' so j
wonderful great in gitt n rid o' fat?"
"God save us, madam!" answerod i
tho bewildered doctor. "I know 1
nothing of tho electric things' you
are pleased to mention."
"What!" screamed Mrs. Babbs, re- '
coiling from him. "Ain't vou Dr.
Magnito?"
"Godd Lord! No inadumo. no! My
namo is Grampus Eugene Grampus. I

manager of Hipp & Tipp's great
collection of living curiosities."
"Wh-what!" gasped Mrs. Babbs,
more dazed than ever. "Then what,
bizness hev you ter bo a-mca-uirin'
me an' askin' all all sorts of imper
tinent questions about mo, I sh'd
like tcr know?"
Why, my dcarmadamo, I thought
you expected me. I thought, by the
kind reception you gave me, that the
young man who informed me of you
had alao informed you of my in
tended visit"
Young man? Errand? Explain
I yourself, sir. I'm suro I can't tin'er-
stan you, said Mrs. babbs, mopping
her dripping brow.
"Why, a young man from this
place I can't recall his name at this
painful moment whom 1 met in tho
city, told me of you; how how
largo you were: and as we are out of
a well, to bo plain, as we aro out of

thought I'd run down and take a

No offense, I hope, in dear

humbly. "I sincerely hope noofTenso.

Oh, I 1 sec it all now," sobbed
poor Mrs. Babbs, sinking into her
chair again and weeping bitterly.
"Zfomo mis'ablo scamp has ben

"Ah! I remember his name now.
It was Hankton, John Hankton. Do
you know him?"
"There ain't nobody in town of

"Well."' said tho doctor, glancing
at his watch, "if I ever lay hands on
tho fellow, Mrs. Babbs, I'll make him
a beautiful subject for Ripp & Tipp's
collection, I assuro you."
So saying. Dr. Grampus shook Mrs.
Babbs' trembling hand with much
display of sympathy and started for
the door.
"Here! Hero!" cried Mrs. Babbs.
in quick alarm. "You a'n't goin' oJT
with all them liggcrs 'bout mo in

"Oh! I had forgotten that," re
plied the doctor, returning hastily.
He tore two leaves from his memo
randum book. On one he scribbled a
few lines and then handed both slips
of paper to Mrs Dabbs. "There, niv
dear Mrs. Babbs. there is the j
wretched souvenir of my lamentablo f
blunder, and with it a slight atono-!
ment in the shape of a family pass

With this graceful sentiment and a
queer smile on his face. Dr. Grampus
made his bow and withdrew.
When a few days later the great
Dr. Magnito, descended upon Mrs.
Babbs with all his elaborate appara

was considerably astonished at her 1

Household Helps.
Not the Kreed Bat the Man.'
No onterprising farmer will noglcct
gottingth best stock possible. All
will aviiil jiiin nothing If ho havo not
In himself the requited characteristics
to not merely maintain but to im
prove. Farm stock is never station
ary. It is cither gotting better or
worso, and the best-bred stock in tho
hads of a slow and easy farmer runs
out so quickly that he gets little if
any good of it Thcro arc millions
of scrub farmers to whom a choice of
tho finest animals would do no real
good. What such men need is to
Jceep.thoir scrubs and breed them up
to better quality, fat tho same timo
giving raoro rogular feeding and
othorwiso improving their condition.
In this way farmers work a certain
dogrec of improvement into them
selves, which, after all, is tho most
important point to bo gained.
An incident from actual lifo oc
curring within tho past ycur best
illustrates what wo mean. A farmer
of tho'slowest and easiest kind a year
ago took a strong fancy to poultry
raising, and moro especially for a
Hock oft"puro Black Spanish fowls
which hb had seen. Hdvertised to be
sold at a farmer's auction. The
farmer had never himself had any
fowls except tho unprofitable mong
rels that ho was always burdened
with. He had said over and over
again that poultry did not pay him.
It was wholly true too from his
standpoint. But if he could get tho
pure Black Spanish fowl, one of the
best layers in tho world, his fortune
would bo made. By tho way, tho
fowls were nDt pure bred, for in tho
flock were two or three Plymouth
Rock hens and a fine Plymouth Bock
rooster, all of which wero sold with
the rest at what seemed to the farmer
the highest prico he had ever paid
for hens.
Tho old stock of mongrels had
filled the hen house with vermin, but
into this filthy, uncleancd building
the new, "pure-bred Black Spanish"
hens were placed to keep tlicm sepa
rate from tlio Plymouth Bocks and
the mongrels. The eggs produced iri
the lousy hen house were carefully
saved for Setting. Pretty soon egg
production inside stopped, and one
or two high-priced, pure breds died,
as was inevitable from confinement
of a roving breed under such condi
tions in midsummer. Then they were
let out, though several moro died
during the fall.
What any wide-awake business
man should havo done would bo first
of all to thoroughly destroy all ver
min in tho hen house, kill o'T the
mongrel fowls, especially the "hand
some" Plymouth rock rooster. In
such a flock his only worth was for
the pot. When these things had been
done, afid nrt before, was time to
bring home the new flock. A thor
oughbred Bldck Spanish cock should
have been purchased to breed with
the hens. If this hal neon done the
fowls would doubtle-s have paid for
their cost many times over, and tliero
would havo been an exceedingly val
uable increase in their numbers. As
it is now there arc few chickens that
have so far escaped ravages of lice
and disease. But their future will be
a hard one. They are all speckled,
or nearly all, only a ouilg Black
Spanish rooster having been saved,
and Ijo all the time over-mustered by
the "handsome" old Plymouth IJock.
The mongrcliation of a valuable
flock has thus been wholly completed
in a single year, and simply by neg
lect. Had a man set to work to de
stroy value of set purpose he could
scarcely have accomplished more.
That a man who could thus misman
age should find poultry breeding
profitable requires that ho be made
entirely ovor again and on a wholly
different model.
The amusing part of this experi
ment is that the slow, easy-going
farmer does not blame himself in the
least for his decided failure. He
made a mistake about the Black
Spanish. They have -poor consti
tutions'' and succumb too easily to
the attacks of disease. Whether ho
will ever lind a breed strong enough
constitutioncd to thrive and lay in a
lousy hen house may well be doubted.
ri.uitiufi- I'ourd ill senilis- Tree;.
A piece of six or eight inch
weather-boarding, jight feet long,
with an inch and a half hole in each
end and another exactly in the cen
ter, has been one of the most con
venient appliances we have ever used
in setting out trees. Before laying
out the orchard, a lot of wooden pins
a foot long, an inch in diameter and
pointed at ono end, aro provided. As
the rows are measured off, 0110 of the
pins is stuck whero each tree is to be
placed.
When ready to dig tho holes, the
planting board comes in use. The
center hole is cut clear out to one
edge, to admit the trco when plant
ing. This center hole is placed over
the pin which has been inserted to
mark tho place of tho tree, tho board
lying in any convenient position, then
a pin is stuck in the ground through
each of the two end holes. The
board is now removed and tho hole
dug in the usual, manner, making it
four or five inches larger every way
than the roots will extend when
spread out (as they should be) in
their natural position.
When ready to plant tho planting
board is placed over the two pins left
in tho ground at the time of digging
the holes, and tho open hole in the
center shows the exact placo for tho
tree, which is then put in position.
Planting thon proceeds in tho
usual way setting tho tree an inch or
so deeper than it stood in the nursery
and working the finest and best soil
firmly in among all the roots with
the hands; removing tho board as
soon as it ceases tobc of any use
generally beforo tho tree is half
planted.
By this plan, there is no uncertain
ty about the right place for the tree;
no loss of time by stopping to sight
and find the exact range both ways,
as this has been fixed by the one pin
in the first place and by the two pins
in the second place.
The number of pins necessary is
about two for each tree. If neatly
made they will handle easier. They
should be collected when the planting
is done, and laid away for further
use along with the planting board.

Soft ;1ik1Im1 Kits.
Do you get soft shelled eggs? It is
your fault, if vou do. Hens cannot
make egg shells unless they have '
something out of which to make
them. It requires time to make egg
shells. Tho required amount of lime i
is readily acquired by fowls in a wild
state, as but littlo is. wanted, when J
ono or two sittings of eggs is tht
limit of their efforts, but when wc.by
domestication, incroaso tho ogg pro
duction from a scoro to 100 or 200
and sonietimds mora per annum, it la
hut natural. that tho fowls will not
obtain tho requisite amount of limo
from their ordinary fo'o'dr Conse
quently wo must Supply be deficien
cv, for soft sholled oggs.or cgg3 with
no shells will bo tho positive result,
and not only this, but tho hon. by
reason of tho soft shell, frequently
breaks tho egg, and will eat it, and,
having learned the habit, will not only
eat those with a hard shell, . but
teach tho trick td tlid balttneo of tho
flock. A supply of lime is cheaply
furnished by hooping at hand where
tho fowls can havo acecs to it at all
times, crushed oysters or clam siioiisy
or bone dust. A small piece of limo
in their drinking water is advisable
in most instances. It is tho practico
of manyrcedcrs of fowls to throw
them the egg shells from tho kitchen,
but we consider it a ball practidd. as
It toadies the fowl that sho can
break the ahull with her beak, and
some portion of the contents, which
may have adhered to tho fresh spoils,
will give them a taste, which may
not be tho least incentive to break
other eggs in tho nest. It they aro
fed to tho fowls they should be
broken up fine and mixed with other
feed, so Us to avoid all semblance of
ogg eating. Farmers Voice'.
Good IIo'Ti.
Tho keeping of hogs may bo made
very profitable whero home dairying
is carried ofi, says John Gould in
Practical Farmer, but thcro should
be as much judgment and method in
the matter, as in tho selection and
caro of tho cows. To get tho best
results, milk and hutter-milk should
bo fed iu conjunction with grain.
Tho taking off of the cream has not
lessened tho feeding value of tho
milk so much as to deprivo the ani
mal of an agency of quick digestion.
With tho corn meal and shorts fed
with the milk, thcro should be some
oil meal which takes tho place of the
missing fats and makes tlio cheese of
the milk easily digosted. The swill
milk tank should be cleaned out as
often as every two days, and scalded.
Tho "bitter water" of very sour milk
is poison to a hog. Where much
grain is fed with the milk, the latter
should nover bo allowed to become
thick, the acid of changing milk
lactic may be all right witli gruin,
but never should bo allowed to got
very sour. Young pigs should always
havo tho skim milk and oil meal,
etc, fed sweet and warm. Sour, cold
milk and no grain kills thousands of
small pigs with dysentery, and then
it is charged up to bad luck.
Wheat for Yoiin; Chickens.
It is surprising that so much scfi
food is given to young chickens, and
that, too. by tho&c who ought to
know better. Whole wheat will bo
readily eaten by chicks a week old.
and before that time the wheat
grains pounded or cracked arc better
than anything else. Because tho
chicks aro little it does not follow
that their digestion is weak. The
first twenty-four hours they live on
tho remains of the yolk of egg, which
is extreine'y hard to digest Unless
their naturally strong digestion has
something to work on, the chick soon
becomes sickly, "crop bound,' and
dies. Wheat is at all times the best
food for making hens lay. In spring
if fed to young chikens the lions
will thrive so on their wheat that
they will often begin egg production
before tho chioks are old enough to
care for themselves. American Cul
tivator. Stock Note
Let tho hogs have access to wood
nshc-. They will prevent worms.
Corn, oats and middlings make a
good ration for the sow that is suckl
ing pigs.
A New York farmer says an acre ol
Hubbard squash will fatten ten hogs
more than an acre of corn.
A hog ratsor of experience says he
believes 11 brood sow reaches her
limit of usefulness at the age of seven
years.
Mud is one of the means which
the hog employs to defend itclf from
flics. A mud puddle in the hog
pasture pays.
The work team should bo kepi
strong. They need a variety of feed.
Besides being more palatable, it aid;?

A correspondent says the moment
she spills any grease on the floor of
