"Looking one night," said the retired burglar, "from a dark hall into a dimly lighted room whose door was ajar I saw in bed a woman ami a child asleep. I m co judge of children's ages and never was, but I should say from what I could Bee of that child's face and of its form under the bedclothes that it was 2 years old, maybe 3. It was sleeping on the side of the bed toward the front. "Asleep 011 the floor in front of the bed on a snug little mattress was another child of about the same age as the one in bed or thereabout, brought in there temporarily apparently for some reasoa or other that I didn't try to figure out, that being no part of my business, but this one on tbo floor was so placed be cause there wasn't room for both children in the bed. "As I stood there looking at them the child in the bed began to get restless, and in a minute it rolled out or twisted itself out somehow from under the bed clothes—this was in summer, and the covering over it wasn't heavy—and rolled square up to the edge of the bed. It lay still there for a minute and then rolled back a little, and 1 felt easier, but the next minute it rolled forward again clean to the edge and rolled over it a little far ther and hung there on the edge a min ute—l believe if it had hung there a sec ond longer I'd ha' run to stop it—and then over it went. "And I thought sure it was going to fall slam 011 to the little one on the mat tress on the floor and just knock the breath out of that one, but it didn't do either; it fell on the mattress alongside of that one and never woke that one up and never woke up itself. Well, I thought that beat everything I ever saw in the way of folks falling out of bed, but there was more to come. "The one that fell out kept right on sleeping, and it was very still for a min ute or so, and then it began to get rest less again and rolled over on the mattress and edged the child on the mattress clean off onto the floor, but even then that one didn't wake up either. It kept right on sleeping, too, on the floor, and the one that had fallen out of bed and edged this one off the mattress now stretched out on the mattress perfectly easy and settled into a quiet, gentle sleep. "But before this the mother had woke op—l didn't kuow how she'd missed the one in bed, but she had somehow —and she turned up the light a little and sur veyed that scene on the floor and under stood it right away. And she didn't dis turb the one that had fallen out; that was row sleeping peacefully on the soft mat tress, but she picked up the one that had been rolled off onto the hard floor and put one in bed. So now the children had just changed places, and in a minute or two they were all settled down again, peaceful and quiet as before. "I never was troubled with insomnia much myself, but whenever I do have a wakeful night 1 always think of those blessed children that could goto bed and goto sleep and roll out of bed without ev er waking up."—New Y'ork Sun. Royal Family I'nji For Wedillna. The entlfs expenses of Queen Wllhel mlna's wedding will be borne by the royal family without any government appropriation.

Vast Field Covered b» the Kalilblt ' and tlie Method* lo He Followed In It* lllii*tratlon lit the Kxpoaltlon ut 1 Hußalo Next Summer. The building which is to house the i exhibit In manufactures and liberul arts at the l'an-Amerlcan Exposition at Buffalo will be one of the most im | posing in the splendid group surround ing the Court of Fountains. This build ing is 500 by 350 feet, with a central :ourt and having a dome 70 feet in di ameter over the entrance 011 the south. Manufactured products and those il lustrating the liberal arts are so closely allied that they naturally are classified In the same general group, aud at the j great expositions of recent years they i 'iave been housed under the same roof. Under the general classification of lib- j erai arts are included such subjects as 1 those of education and social economy, books, periodicals, scientific apparatus, hygiene and sanitation, musical instru ments. public works, civil engineering, constructive architecture, photographs i and photographic supplies, medical, , dental and surgical apparatus and oth er branches of Intellectual activity. In deed It is tbo most progressive and 110- ! ble of the tendencies and achievements of this age of enlightenment and civili zation which are represented in the ex- . hibits of this division of a great expo " I ELECTRIC TOWER, wT'i'll BALCONV OF COURT OF FOUNTAINS. The work of collecting and classify- J ing the Liberal Arts exhibit for the j Pan-American Exposition Is now well ; under way and is in charge of Dr. Se- j lim 11. Peabody, whose successful hah- j dling of the same division at the great Columbian Exposition of 1893 marks him as the best qualified man on the American continent for the discharge of such a task. The exhibits of the Liberal Arts divi sion as well as those of other depart ments will be concentrated and repre sentative rather than vast In extent and exhaustive In scope. Most gratify ing progress has been made since the World's Fair at Chicago in methods of education in the public schools, univer sities and colleges of the United States and other Pan-American countries. The 1 educational exhibit will give spe-fiul attention to exemplifying this great progress and showing the present state of our educational institutions. It is the Intention to have models prepared representing the equipments of schools, colleges and universities. The exhibit made by the United States in the Paris exposition will be removed to Buffalo for the Pan-American and will be sup plemented with additional exhibits. Closely related to the educational ex hibit will be those in social economy and in hygiene and sanitation. Under the head of social economy will be in cluded such subjects as charities and correction, co-operative associations and trades unions, apprenticeship and child labor, protection of workingmen In factories and mines, workingmen's dwellings, etc. The division of sanitation and hygi ene Is one of great practical impor tance, and great progress has been made within a decade along this line. Indeed it may perhaps be said that the subject has become almost a science in I itself, and certainly in its relations to the daily life of the people its impor tance cannot be too much emphasized. The exhibit at the Pan-American Ex- j position, wbich Is under the immediate supervision of Dr. Jacob S. Otto, an au thority in this branch of science, will comprise such subjects as physical cul ture, and the apparatus used in various j Institutions for this purpose—hospitals and dispensaries, boards of health—and their functions, foods, their chemistry. Her Seven Stages. It is held by a writer on woman that the seven stages of woman's life may be reckoned as composed of multiples of seven. The first seven years are infancy, the second seven childhood, the third sev eu girlhood, aud the fourth seven bring fully developed womanhood. The fifth seven —that is, from the age of 28 to 35 may be looked upon as the infancy of age, for during that period one learns to exercise the faculties aud perceptions that have developed in the preceding years. Until the age of 42 the lessons go on and character is being matured and fixed. After that few changes are made In the real person. Slight varieties and variations of opinion are likely to occur, but nothing deep or vital to transform the life. Floral Notea. Wistaria will not cling to a flat wall. It needs some other support.

Pan-Amrricin linn tbe Heat Ever Seen at a Show. In Its sculptural adornment, as well as in several other respects, tbe Pan- American Exposition will far surpass any enterprise of the kind ever held. There are over 125 splendid original groups, and they are to be used around the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade and the Electric Tower. They will symbolize the purposes of the build lngs and exhibits and bring out the poetry in what to many may seem ex ceedingly prosaic things. After crossing the Triumphal Bridge, which is the grand formal entrance to the main court and is itself to be dec orated with splendid statuary, one will see to the right and left, at opposite ends of the Esplanade, tne rountains and the sunken gardens in front of the United States Government and Horti culture buildings respectively. The Fountain of Man. by Charles Grafly, is the central fountain at the east of the Esplanade, and it is flanked by the Fountain of Prometheus and the Fountain of Hercules. The sub jects of other fountains in this group will be the Savage Age, the Despotic Age and tbe Age of Enlightenment. At the other end of the Esplanade the Fountain of Nature, by George T. Brewster, is the most elaborate sculp tural adornment, and the idea of this fountain is amplified in minor ones, such as the Fountain of Kronos, Foun tain of Ceres and the groups typifying Mineral Wealth, Animal Wealth, etc. These symbolic Ideas will be worked out in beautiful forms in other parts of the main court and in connection with the Electric Tower and other buildings, the whole forming a most complete and harmonious expression of the purposes of a great Exposition, such as the I'an- American. (Cnslneerlnir Method!. At the Pan-American Exposition mechanical and civil engineering and public works, in which the American refuses to take second place, will be presented in such a clear and interest ing way, by means of ail sorts of costly and ingenious exhibits, that the lay mind will find it scarcely less attract ive than KISSE3. j With Tittle kis»e« I shut your eyes; J I would not have them swing and wise, For, could I choose, 1 would have you b# Blind ever, as now, when you look on me!

In no line of breeding domestic anl- , mals has greater strides been made than in the poultry industry, and. while , the Interest taken in the Live Stock Di vision of the Exposition by prospective exhibitors Is very encouraging, the ; poultrymen of the I'nited States and ; Canada are manifesting an interest that is truly phenomenal. The poultry men in the past few years have seen the industry double many times until j today it exceeds in value any single farm crop. The annual sale of eggs, poultry and fancy birds for breeding purposes in the United States and Can ada exceeds $1,000,000,000. The pro posed show at the Pan-American will lie fully adequate to the great interests involved. The time of this show will be most propitious to the fanciers—Oct 21-31—and the accommodations will b« all that are desired. The stables, cov ering ten acres, will all be devoted to the poultry and pet stock show. MAGNET FORTARMERS. Great Dhplay In tbe Division •( Ag riculture at Kxpoiltlon. The prominent display in the Divi sion of Agriculture at the l'an-Ameri can Exposition will be the magnet that will attract progressive farmers.

Tht exhibit will embrace all phases of ag ricultural work, showing the advan tages of different processes and meth ods of work and the products of the garden and field in their great variety under ail sorts of conditions. Under their proper classifications will be shown methods of fertilization, farm management and processes, experi ments with various crops in different soils, climate, etc.; reports from dif ferent states and provinces showing the aggregate of crops and products of all kinds; exhibits of all products of the farm and garden. This will be a splendid school of Instruction for the farmer. National Matmni.

This sample will show three distinct kinds of road—dirt, gravel and macad am. In some of tbe states we will break this sample mile into quarters, constructing each in a separate section. In other s;at>» we will build the mile as near to the capital as possible. Then, with these sample roads on view, we will employ skilled constructors to talk to the farmers. Wo will educate every community in every state to build and drain its roads in the most scientific manner. In every comity of tbe United State*, and there are 3.7«*» of them, tbe N'» tional Good Itoods associate n will es tablish a bureau of informal:, n. Tbes# bureaus will In turn l>e represented by individuals in each of the 63.0"U town ships of the country. It takes no prophet to foretell tbe re sult. Within a year the improvement# will be seen and felt through every on# of the great fanning states. «.aa Fuiimt In Trtinka »< Trr«. State Geologist W. S.
