Of the several buildings constitut ing the home of the National Export Exposition, the main building is ne cessary the more attractive, from the fact of its size, its architectural feat ures and the scope of the exhibits which it contains. Too much atten tion, cannot, however, be bestowed upon the implement and furniture building, in which is displayed farm machinery in its latest development, automobiles, carriages, wagons, har ness, furniture and road-making ma chines. The main building is 1,000 feet long and 400 feet wide. It in cludes three pavilions, two stories in height, and a spacious auditorium with a seating capacity of $,000. In this auditorium the sessions of the International Commercial Congress were hela, and concerts are given ev ery afternoon and evening by the leading musical organizations of the country. The building covers an area of nine acres, and there is an area of floor space aggregating twelve and one-half acres. On either side of the auditorium, which is 200 feet long and 140 feet wide, are arcades for exhibits, 78 feet wide by 300 feet long. The pavilions are constructed of brick and structural steel, and are each 90 by 380 feet. Each is two stories high. The buildings, always attractive, are especially so evenings, when they are illuminated bv 400 arc lamps of various kinds and designs, with a nominal power of 2,000 candles each. These, with a large number of incan- j descent lamps, are supplemented by the electrical displays connected with j the numerous exhibits, which, in one j or two instances, are of extraordinary ' beauty ind brilliancy. j At night the exterior of the build- j ings is outlined in an apparent blaze of electric lisjht... The main building ' is especially brilliant from the exterior. j Upon its roofs at regular intervals are high flag-staffs, from which, during the day, flutter the colors of a'.l nations. ; The tops of these flag staffs are orna mented with large opalescent globes, and inside of each of these is a 500 candle power incandescent light. The effect of this, showing nearly 200 lights illuminating flags below, is very striking. Abot't the cornices of the buildings below the flag staffs are hun dreds of incandescent lamps, making a line of fire entirely around the struc tures, and marking their outlines from a great distance. These electrical ef fects from above form s fine fringe for the broader illumination below. The outlines of the windows, extending from below the cornices almost to the ground, are indicated by lines of in candescent lamps, which, aided by the bright light from within, gives to the group of exhibition buildings the appearance of palaces of fire. The grand esplanade in front of the entrance is illuminated by a system of gas lamps in large and beautiful groups, and no electric light appears beyond the line of the cornices of the various buildings which skirt the side- j walk of the esplanade itself. But the , faces of the buildings themselves pre j sent a very brilliant effect from the ! numerous varied and fantastic shapes ' . i t . 1 . ; mio wmcn designs nave Deen made by the use of small .nd many colored incandescent electric lamps.

A Twentieth Century Movement- The Reformed church in America has inaugurated a Twentieth Century Missionary Forward Movement. It has to do with children in the Sunday schools only. There are 120,000 children in these schools. The claim is made that not enough attention is given in these schools to the outside news of want and ignorance. The new movement is intended to arouse interest in these things and if possible to secure from each scholar one cent and each teacher two cents a week during the year beginning with Janu ary next. Heretofore all of the mis sionary organizations of the Reformed church have appealed in turn to the schools. Now it is planned to put system into these appeals and divide the offerings equitably among the diff erent societies having missionary work in charge. This week information of the movement has been forwarded lo all pastors and superintendents in the Reformed church in America. New Bchedule of Passenger Trains on The Pennsylvania Railroad. The new schedule on the P. & E. Division, took effect on Monday 20th lnfit. Several imnrtanfr r.nrr.. u.a.a - - . vMBijva 1 made. Additional trains were rjlaced in service between Nescopeck and Hazleton. Train now leaves Catawissa 7:38 a. m. on arrival of train : from Sunbury arriving at Hazleton 9:02 a. m. return ing leaves Hazleton 5:15 p. nj.f arriv ing at Catawissa 6:25 p. m. New Train leaves Hazleton 2:00 p. m., arriving at Nescopeck 3:00 p. m., returning leave Nescopeck 4:10 p. m., arriving at Hazleton 5:10 p. m. Con nections being made at Nescopeck both east and west. Train leaving Nescopeck at 7:05 p. rft. runs through to Pottsville, arriving there at 9:05 p. m. Burning the stubble off of fields, as a great man j fanners are in trie habit of doing after the grain has been harvested, says the experi ment station authorities, is very in jurious to the land. . It is claimed that one field fire yill remove more nitrogen from the soil than five or dinary crops. , . When an engineer starts out with a fast express train he must settle right down to work with his head and hands, and his mind is in a constant strain until he alights from the engine at the end of the long run. He has a dozen or more slow orders, special orders, orders to make extra stops, orders to meet east-bound trains or pass west-bound trains, orders to take water at K instead of O. to stoD and pick up an official at Y and let off .1 - T - . ituuiiier ai . ne must sound the whistle for all crossings and stations, for all east-bound trains, if he is on the first section, must run carefully over a certain bridge, or over a part of the track where repairs are being made, and is expected to make the time under any and all circumstances. He may start out well, keep up to schedule requirements for 10 miles, and is then stopped ip minutes while theatrical scenery is being loaded or unloaded, and this is kept up so that five stops of 10 minutes each are not unusual, and that means 50 minutes lost. During all this .time the engi neer is getting worried and has to run recklessly on curves. He covers mile after mile in 50 seconds, and knows while he is doing this and shooting around curves that there is a sharp flange on the front driving wheel, but that makes no difference, as he must make up the time or be called down. Recently, to make matters worse, they have enforced the rule that the whistle must be blown to warn the postal clerks that a mail sack is to be taken on or thrown off, and failure to do this means' censure. It seems that it is official -negligence and lack of perception that allows all these wor ries to be heaped upon the engineer. 'Exchange. All Legacies Taxable Commissioner of Internal Revenue Wilson has civen an important ruling 1 on the war tax on legacies, and which will effect every estate distributed since the act went into effect June 13 of last year. Basing their action on several decisions made from time to time, collectors of revenue all over the country have uniformly held that an estate passes over to the beneficiaries on the death of the testator but the new ruling holds that this takes place only when the actual transfer of prop erty is made by the executors, notwith standing the date of death. Don't Cross Tour Legs- Here is a contribution to the liter ature of the fashionable disease, appen dicitis, that is important if true. An expert medico declares that women suffer so much less than men from this disease a long vexed point in the study because the habit of cross ing the legs is so much less common with them than with men. He says the leg-crossing habit restricts the di gesting process and renders obstruc tion of the veriform appendix more likely. Moral: Don't fcross your legs. When a man has an elastic con science he is bound to let go some day, and it will fly back and sting him. 8 TEAT PABAGRaPHS. Yes, Adam was the first man and Cain was also of the original brand. Many a girl is bright and set in her wpys, but that does't nuke her a jewel by any means. There is a common opinion that children should be taken care of at all seasons of the vear, but it is well enough, in the winter o let them slide. Several agricultural journals are engaged in discussing whether raising hemp is a good business. It is cer tainly a better business than being raised by it. . Were it not ungenerous to re mind people of their ;(7r7infirmites we should inform, a few people in this neck 'o the woods, that they are nat- tiral fools. An inventor in Scranton is at tempting to make a flying machine, and an editor of one of that city's papers calls it "an old trap." The editor has in mind a fly-trap. A writer in a recent issue of the Medical Review says that it a cow is diseased, the milk is necessarily dis eased too. We understand that the eommon treatment for diseased milk is the water cure. Free Hotel and Boarding-Ilouso Directory, The Lackawanna Railroad is pre paring to thoroughly advertise all the cities and towns along its lines with the purpose cf inducing travel to these points.

Charles McBnde of Beaver Mead ow, has cast his lot with the Boer army. He is a lieutenant in the force under General Joubert, now beseiging Ladysmith. In a recent letter home, he expressed great con fidence m the ability of the Boers to whip the British. McBnde also served with the United States reg ulars in Cuba during the Spanish war.
