OiG EXHIBIT PLANNED FOR THE PAN
AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
Will Include a Fashionable Hon*
Slion, Model Hairy Exposition, !>!•-
play of Agricultural Products and
Many OtU«-r inter«lliiH Featnre".
The exhibit of Live Stock at the Pan-
American Exposition at Hutfalo next
summer will include all varieties and
breeds of domestic animals. Arrange
ment* have been made tu accommodate
25,000 animals on the grounds. Liber
al prizes in all classes will be offered.
A fashionable Horse Show will be a
prominent feature of the display and
will include harness horses, saddlers,
jumpers, etc. This exhibition will be
fashioned on the lines of tho Madison
Square Garden show and will be held
at the Stadium.
A model exhibition Dairy composed
of all breeds of milk cows will be In
operation during the six months of the
Exposition.
A great display of the varied agricul
tural products from the various States,
Provinces and Countries of the West
ern Hemisphere will be made in the
Agricultural building, covering two
acres.
The closing of tho Nineteenth Cen
tuury bas witnessed marvelous strides
in tlie improvement of methods In the
dairy world. Formerly the whole
dairy business was conducted largely
by "rule of thumb." Instead of a vo
cation requiring a certain apprentice
ship it Is fast becoming an exact
science, in which chemistry and bacte
riology play no insignificant part. The
increasing Interest and attendance at
the various dairy schools throughout
the United States and Canada and the
existence of great co-operative and
commercial organizations for the
I manufacture and sale of dairy prod
ucts are an indisputable testimony to
! the achievements of modern science.
In this great industry the Government
lias appropriated vast sums of money
to help the dairyman in his work, ami
this is indicative of its importance •
a factor of the great food problem o.
the world.
The territorial lines of the dairy belt
have long since been annihilated. A
few States and Provinces in the East
no longer enjoy the exclusive distinc
tion of being in the dairy sections. In
the Dairy building nt the Exposition
space has already been asked for by
Maine and California, Manitoba and
Texas. The supposed disadvantages
of soil, water, climate and food in por
tions of North America have largely
been eliminated by the skillful dairy
man, and today splendid representa-

lame 01 muK products are known, and
the increasing consumption of milk
and its products bespeaks much fo.
tbe future of the dairy business.
Few people have any adequate con
ception of the present magnitude of the
dairy industry. In tbe United States
and Canada there is one dairy cow to
every four persons, or 20,000,000 cows.
The annual milk production Is estimat
ed at $."50,000,000. Add to this the val
ue of dairy cows, $050,000,000, and we
have $1,200,000,000. To this add the in
vestments in dairy appliances, and we
reach a grand total of $2,000,000,000 in
vested in this great Industry in the
United States and Canada.
A large, beautiful building located
near the Agricultural building will be
devoted exclusively to Dairy Products
and Dairy Apparatus.
All the milk products will be exhibit
ed in glass cases, properly refrigerated
for the purpose of maintaining as far
as possible the texture and quality of
the products on exhibition. Exhibitors
whose products form a portion of their
State or Provincial displays will not be
charged for exhibit space, but individ
ual exhibitors will be charged $1.50 per
square foot for space occupied.
The exhibit of Dairy Appliances will
embody all the recent inventions and
improvements made in this Industry,
including sterilizers, pasteurizers, sepa
rators, coolers, churns, etc.
Electric power will be furnished in
the building should exhibitors desire to
demonstrate the work of their ma
chines for the benefit of the visitors.
The exhibit in the Dairy Division
will be a seductive one, and in point of
attractiveness, interest and utility will
surpass anything ever before attempt
ed.
A Model Dairy, composed of repre
sentatives of all the breeds, will be in
operation during the entire Exposition
for the purpose of determining as far
as possible the cost of production and
the adaptability of certain breeds to
special lines of dairy work.

In London it was noticed that when
tho streets were muddy there was a
marked diminution of diseases that were
prevalent when dust is blowing. Ca
tarrhal troubles are plentiful when people
are compelled to inhale dust. Consump
tion, too, often gets its start from the
breathing of flying particles of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
info mud, and tho power for harm is
gone, for mud is not inhaled. The genn»
that infest dry dust become Inert In mud,
because these germs, vicious as they are,
are too lazy togo anywhere unless they
are carried. Moreover, mud is very like
ly to get ultimately into tho drain pipe,
and the germs aio carried off where they
can do no harm. Even when mud dries
on the clothing and is brushed off the
dust that arises therefrom does not ap
pear to be as dangerous as that which
j has not been recently wet. Leslie's

CAM BE A MAN IF HE WILL.
A boy at 17 can practically determine
for himself whether he will be a simple
burden bearer for others as long as be
lives, a leech on society or whether he
will be a broad minded, useful and suc
cessful man. If the boy at this age has
no ambition to be anybody and is con
tent to simply let things flicker mid
take his chance with others just like
him, frittering away his opportunities
to acquire knowledge and caring only
for the trivialities of life, he can make
up his mind to carry a hod, ride the
brake beam of a freight car or dodge
the police as long as he lives, or he can
resolve to be a man in the highest
sense, seek every means for physical,
mental and moral growth and develop
ment and must surely and easily grad
uate into the ever widening fields of
utility and success. It matters little
what his boyhood environment may be.
If he but has the ambition and the well
grounded purpose he will climb out of
it.
Slandering: the Cook.
Here is something that a woman
who knows says is a sure diagnosis
of the status of the cook. If you have
a good cook, you may be more or
less sure that she will look too fre
quently upon the wine when it is red.
It Is an unfortunate fact, but If the
cook is less than a S4O cook as
little annoyance as possible may be
expected from this w*eakness. Possi
bly It will never make itself manifest
enough to be known above stairs. But
If the cook has risen higher in the so
cial scale of cooks than S4O, then look
out. A cook who is rated at over S4O
may be expected to smash things.
If one chances to make a morning
call at the house of a friend and ills
covers the servants crowded up stairs,
frightened and trembling, while from
below come the sounds of ironware
skating across the kitchen and pottery
crashing against the wall and be
tween times the voice of the masculine
head of the family gently expostulat
ing or commanding in would be stern
tones, then it may be known that that
household has reached the dignity of a
sso or SOO cook.—New York Times.

ENGLISH MONARCHS.
Death Often t'nkind In the Manner
of Their Taking OH.
Of the monarchs who have reigned
over England since the days of the
Norman conquest uearly one-quarter of
the number have met violent death.
William I was killed by a fall from j
his horse, William II was shot while
hunting, whether by accident or de
sign is still one of the unsolved prob
lems of history; Richard I was killed •.
by a shaft from a crossbow while j
besieging the city of Clialuz. in France; j
Richard II was murdered in Pontefract J
castle, Edward II was murdered in j
Berkley castle, and Edward V in the ;
Tower of London, Richard 111 was
kiled on the battlefield of Bosworth
and Charles 1 had his head cut off in
London.
Elizabeth's death was hastened by
remorse that she had ordered the ex
ecution of Essex, and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after the loss
of Calais, declaring that the name of
the city would lie found after death
written on her heart. The death of
Edward Ill's son, the Plack Prince,
caused the aged monarch to die of
grief. So, aftpr the loss of his son
in the White Ship, Ilenry I was never
seen to smile again and lived ouly a
were insane during the latter years
of their reigns and finally died from
what in these days would be called
paresis. Charles 11, Henry VIII, Ed
ward IV and George IV hastened their
deaths by the dissipated and sensual
lives they lived. Only two monarchs
died of that great national scourge,
consumption; they were Edward VI
and Henry VII. Queen Anne's death
j was due as much as anything else
to overfeeding. Only two monarchs,
Henry VI and George 111, died after
long illnesses.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.
"TLie proper way togo up stairs,"
iaid the young ambulance surgeon, "is
to bold the body erect and step lelsure

successive stairs."

and that owl faced professor has im- (
pressed you with the idea that he really ;
knows what he is talking about. Now, i
fny experience," he continued, with a j
grin, "proves that the best way to get
up stairs is to take the elevator."
Both laughed at the alleged witti
cism, but stopped suddenly when the j
hostess remarked: "1 suppose either
way would be acceptable, but your
usual way appears to be to take off
your shoes and crawl up on all fours so
that no one hears you. Even that
might be all right," she continued, "but
why do you complete the transit by
falling over a chair and waking up
everybody within a block of the house
with your side remarks? I should
think that either of the methods you
suggested would be an improvement on
the style you apparently preferred last
century."—New York Telegraph.
