EverjlxKiy knows that sharks are
as danperous to handle as they
are homely in tpp-aranee. 1 ish-rrmt-n
never preserve them v. hen
by any chance they cap:ure iven
a small specimen, and the I'cited

to secure a live sjH'ciun-n for the ex

short - lived in confinement. 1m
sides beinj too danperous to handle
and care for where there are crowds.
There are, however, some splendid
stuffed specimens of the man-eatint:
shark from southern waters and sev
eral of the type found in the waters of
the New Knp land coast. These are so
mounted that their terrible teeth are
exposed to view, and it doe.i not re
quire a very Treat stretch of imagina

IOWA'S CORN PALACE.

In the Iowa state buiidin? at Jack

famous corn palace, which made Sioux
City know n to the w hole of the United
States. And anion? the ladies who
have charpeof the low a state buihlinp.
and w ho act as its reception commit
tee, is Mrs. William I. i:-jrhacan, to
whom uiayle given credit for oripmat
in? the corn palace three years apo.
Mrs. liuchanan was formerly Miss
Lulu Williams, of Cincinnati, and is the
dauphter of Isaae Williams, for many
years a leader in the artistic, circles of
Cincinnati. Miss Lulu has always been
a preat admirer of the beauties of
nature, just as nature, without cultiva

die hand of God. And when the idea

Ia. It wa ; durin? 1 er resilience there
that she became identified with the
six lety composed of ladies w hich erect
ed the corn palace. Mrs. iiuchanan
was president of the society and was
chosen for this ofdee in lxmor of hei
havinp been the oripinator and desipn
er of the prcatcst piece of work done
by tiie society. Vi hen Cue lo-a stale
luiidin? was erected, it was unan
imously decided that tiie structure
would be very incomplete without a
rcprtxinction of the corn palace. And
so tiie palace was built within the
walls of the Iowa btiildh.?. in more
thaa its original ni:o:ii licence, with
Mrs. ll-.iehaiiaa still its owr.scor and
rnjector.

lier present show in? in this respect is
by far the most sat isfactory ever made,
and larper and finer even than at the

were potent political reasons at that
time to in. ike her do her Wst. Thn-s.
then, it may 1k said tiiat the bi? ship
loads sent over by the Muscovite em
pire present in their totality a faithful
ithouph sliphtly flattered) portrait in
miniature of the vast domain over
w hich the czar by the Neva rules su
preme. The resources of the country,
the enormously varied products, the
intcrestin? industries pursued there,
ind even the mental achievements are
all visible and palpable. It is all in
terestinp. and a rood deal of it is su
perb. However, the weak places in
Russia's armor likewise are noticeable

less in the shape of applied science and
technolopy, and the ineapernesa and

lack of diversity in her manufactures
become almost painfully apparent to
tin) close and cool observer. There
can be no doubt, after admirin? what
there is. of comiu? to the conclusion
that a country of such vast possibili
ties, of such exhaustless natural re
sources, of a population of 1-0 millions
and w ith a soil and climate that offer
the wit'.est ranpe to human effort,
oupht to be much farther advanced.
However, with these restrictions it re
mains perfectly true that Russia's ex
hibit is preat and is one of the most in
tcrestin? at the w hole fair. I'nfortu-r-att
ly the poods were very late in ar
riving, and much remains to le in
stalled. Tiie most intcrestin? part of thr
w hole Russian section at Manufactures
buil lin? is undoubtedly that of the
Asiatic provinces, including the Cau
casus, liokhara. Khokand and the fer
tile districts of Siberia. For the eth
nologist this exhibit is particularly en
prossinp. since it offers a perfect pic
ture of the choicest and most perfect
products, both natural and human, of
the hundred and odd tribes and races
scattered and intcrminpled all over
that vast territory, in itself aliout as
larpe as the w hole Fnited States. This
exhibit is a carefully selected epitome
of the hupe Central Asiatic exhibition
held in Moscow two years apo. Weap
ons of every imapinable kind, house
hold utensils and appareL jewelry an-1
native art objects are all there in rich
array, and it will probably attract the
widest attention here, since it is so
novel and opens up to our inner eye a
vast area of which we have but read
up to this time.
From this topic to the Russia HgCdu
cational exhibit is quite a leap. Of
course, everybody knows that the edu
cational standard in Russia is very
lo-.v, L e., the percentape of illiteracy
is much preater than in any other
lluropean country. Rut there is also
there a small minority of persons
whose educational acquirements are
extremely hiph, and for this fact the
imperial schools, collepes, academies
and universities are mainly responsi
ble. These rank q iite hiph. only bein?
surpassed by the Ccrmati. French and
Knpiih. They hive, all t id. an at
tendance of nearly half a million pu
pils, male and female, and in the list
of these imperial institutions are in
cluded art aeuA-mie, schools for
needlework, provisional schools for
pirls. commercial schools, hospitals,
asylum-s for the insane, blind, deaf ami
dumb, orphanapes, technical schools
and manual trainlnp schools. Charts,
maps, boohs and other implements of
teaehin? are on view. Specimens of

hrst collected under special order from
tl.e c;air, and the mini cter of p'ibiic in
struction at St- Petersburg has piven
the ir.att-r his porsonp.1 attention.
The showin? thus made (at an ex
penditure of over liO.iK'O roubles), is
remarkably fine and complete, only
jaciinr in that department which we,
in this country, commonly desipnate
as pul lie s-hools, viz., primary and
prrwitm- prades.
In the Fine Arts buiidin? there are
shout i-'O objects f.ent from Russia, the
work cf such typi.-al pointers as Scm
iratsky, Makoffsky. Rapin. Ileroff.
Some of these. come direct from the
studios of these artists, but the greater
number of the pictures are merely
loaned l.y their private owners or by
the imperial pallcries. The most dis
tinctive and remarkable of these paint
inps show the brilliant Coh.rinp. the

Victoria house is a very apreeable
sort of place and one mipht spend some
time there and not tire. A small fam

comfortable and happy as the pro

of the Klizabethan half timK-r charac
ter, and the effect upon enterin? is
very pleasinp. The hall is oak-paneled.
A cassone facin? the entrance is a re
production of an old Florentine ex
ample in the royal palace at Naples
aud is enriched with a painted frontal
panel on pllt pronnd in allcporieal por

from Spain. The modeled plaster

Klizabcth"s Palace," John Mansfield,
who has had ch.'erpe of the interior

The ceilin? over the stairway is a
copy of that at Ihiddon halL The fur
nitaie is of carved oak, somewhat in
the style of the Italian renaissance.
The tables, settees and chairs are de
signed en similarly ancient lines, some
of the earvinps bein? copied from ex
amples that belonpcd to the preat
Medici family now in the Titti palace
at Florence.
The library, off the hall, is entirely
of oak and is of a sedate character.
The ceil in? is ribbed in geometrical
form. The btxl:eases extend from
f.oor to ceilin?. The furniture has
been either designed or adapted from
old examples, every piece !cinp. so far
as its requirements would admit, s
faithful reproduction of some old mas
ter's conception.
The reception-room has a modeled
plasU r ceiling repnsiueed from that in
the banqueting hall at Crewe hall, the
seat of Lord Crewe and one of the
finest examples of Iliialcthan archi
tecture in F.iiplar.d. The carved and
inlaid furniture, while not of a sinrle
period, represents the gathcr'n -s to
gether of several generations and has
an a.'linlty runnin? throughout which
brings- the whole into harmony. I;i

are represented and other selections are
taken from the Louvre and Cluny mu

ton museum, all lnrin? old ideas but
in some cases adapted to more mod
ern improvements.
The dining-room has a remodeled
plaster ceiling, reprtxluced from the
famous one in Campden house, Ken
sington. The carved oak paneling
ami furniture illustrates a simpler
treatment of a modern d;.nin?-roo;n of
Elizabethan character. The t -mbosscd
leather of the wall was first done for
the new ball-room at Sandringham

There are large fireplaces, suppestive

While the house, as a whole, is Eiiza-1-ethan
in character, it is modern in

Po valuable arc her jewels that Mrs
Potter Palmer, of Chicago, never at
tends a ball or party of any kind to
which she wears them without a pri
vate detective to form a part of her escort-
This personase accompanies her
from her house to the. carriage, sits on
the box with the driver, and at the ball
is in as faithful attendance upon her
as her own shadow, never takin? his
eyes off her for a moment- Needless to
say that the light-fir.pered individual
who might attempt to relieve Mrs.
Pahn.-rof her diamonds would enjoy a
scries of very bad quarter hours indeed.
