Independence Hall Reproduced. Pennsylvania was among the largest of the contributors to the Jamestown exposition, appropriating SIOO,OOO foi participation, and it was decided that this should be expended rather iu a historical exhibit than in nn exhibit of ■her resources. Her state building is accordingly a reproduction of Independence Hall, Philadelphia, reduced one-quarter and finished within lu the main according to the old pattern. Some few changes were necessary upstairs to meet the exposition requirements, but the essen tial features, large apartments and halls and stairways, are exact copies. The building cost $30,000, and in It is much fine furniture of the old pattern A clock and lieli were placed in the 'belfry at a co t of $3,000. The bell weighs 1,500 pounds aud is four feet at the spread of base. The clock strikes the hours and can be seen and heard In all parts of the exposition grounds. Some fine old portraits are shown In the Pennsylvania building of historic scenes and personages. There is a large portrait of Washington, ono of Gilbert Stuart's, a private loan, and several others from the statehouse in Harrisburg.

Learned, head of the department ol German at the University of Pennsyl vania, commissioned to prepare and install the exhibit. They have by rea son of their wide knowledge oT tin subject aud material with which the} had to deal succeeded in collecting possibly the best exhibit of the kind the state has ever made. A series of large wall maps, five In number, show the historical develop ment of Pennsylvania. They are at tractively arranged ou the walls, inter spersing the large number of portraits of the distinguished makers of the state's history. The first of these maps illustrates the Pennsylvania of 1000, the second Penn sylvania of 1090, the third Pennsylva nia in 1715, the fourth Pennsylvania in 1735. The fifth is a map of Penn sylvania, Maryland and Virginia for 1730. The most extensive pnrt of the ex hibit is a loan collection of objects Illustrative of Pennsylvania history arranged .according to the state's his torical development. One corner of the space represents the early period—the Swedish devel opment. As an evidence of the pains taken in collecting the Pennsylvania exhibit it may be stated that a trained university man was sent to Sweden, where lie spent some time securing photographs of documents in the offl clal flies of that country relating tc the settlement of Sweden on the Dela ware The President at Keokuk l<t«*iit<>ni n «wt* • fix *f«f of li wlm fit addf ««»• !>• ♦ 11l d»tt**f »t Hfl«»« a* h» fo Iti* mmfli TM» mi»> *a« d» M*»i»«l M K«nfcnk, !<>«*.

"Suppose we describe iu turn the scene that our fancy pictures as illus trating our notion of oppressive heat," said one of a party discussing the ex tremes of weather. "What do we think of—what time, what place, what con ditions?" The suggestion was received with favor, aud here are some of the re sponses: "A new concrete sidewalk at noon, with the sun beating down on it and your heels sinking In, and the heat re flected In your face, and the air per vaded with the smell of tar." "The desert, with an exhausted cara van struggling to reach a mirage that hovers on the horizon, but (loomed to perish of thirst, as perished the man and the animal whose bleached bones the}' are passing." "Washing dishes In the kitchen, with the thermometer at 95 out of doors and a hundred and something within, with your hands so soapsudsy and greasy that you can't lift them to your face to wipe away the perspira tion and with your whole being so tired and cross and miserable that yon would cry—if you were not ashamed to." "The deck of a becalmed yacht, with a glassy sea and a long, slow roll and the brasswork so hot that it burns your hand, the sun high, the sky cloud less, the sails hanging with not a breath to stir them, the victim pros trate and seasick, with no conscious ness in the present except of heat and nausea aud no expectation for the fu ture but sunstroke." "Standing alone In the middle of a broad, hot field that Is flaming with scnrlet lilies, with no sound save the notes of the grasshoppers nnd the lo custs." "Noon on a country road which lies between treeless, barren fields, with no living thing in sight but an ox team lurching slowly on Its way In a cloud of yellow dust." "A night in August when coolness has not come with darkness, when you ennnot sleep and can hardly breatho and when it seems that morning would never come."—Chicago siews. ~ Pretty Hot.

Water Transportation Cheap. Any class of water transportation Is Incomparably cheaper than, land trans portation, unless something better than the modern 1 ilroad is Invented. For this reason the ,-reater part of our do mestic or inland tonnage has been and Is carried by water and uot by rail. For that reason the railways own the largest steamers on the lakes.

TABLECLOTHS. Th* "Doubter*" and the "Bubble** of Olden Times. In the twelfth century the table cloths were very large and were ul ways laid on the table double. For a long time they were called "doubters" for that reason. The cloth was first placed so as to touch the floor on the sMe of the table lit which the guests sat. Then till the cloth that remained was folded so that It just covered the table. Charles V. had sixty-seven table cloths which were from fifteen to twenty yards long and two yards wide. He bad one cloth which was thirty two yards long, and that had the arms of France embroidered on It In sl!k. All of these were fringed. In the sixteenth century "doubters," , or double cloths, were replaced by two tablecloths, one of which was small and was laid Just as we lay ours to day. The other, which was put on over It was large and of beautifully figured linen. It was skillfully folded In such a way that, as a 1" U of that time says,"it resembled a winding river, gently ruffled by a little breeze, foi among very many little folds wrrt here and there great bubbles." It must have required much art and care to make dlslics, plates, saltcellars sauce dishes and glasses stand steadily In the midst of this undulating sen and among those "bubbles" and puffy folds. However, the fashion had only a slior' existence, as is apt to be the case with "npractical fashions, and toward the lai er part of the century a single cloth, laid flat and touching the floor on all sides of the table, came into gen eral use.
