Poor Child’s Wonderland.
Little eyes with wonder bright
Peeping at the window show,
Staring at the wondrous sight,
Childish hearts with hope aglow.
Noses pressed against the glass
Where the toys in bright array
Lie in beauty, but alas!
Not for such as they!
Little forms in ragged clothes
Shiv’ring in the frosty air,
Through the worn shoes peep the toes,
All unkempt the tousled hair.
Exclamations of surprise
Fall from childish lips as they
Gaze with wonder-widened eyes
At the grand array.
Animals of beauty. rare,
Drums and guns and shining skates,
Waxen dolls with golden hair,
Houses, yards with swinging gates,
Sleds as greyhounds.swift in flight,
Painted horns with noisy throats:
How each wee one o'er the sight
Enviously gloats!
O’er the white deer hangs the whip
Held in Santa’s waxen hand,
Ribbon reins fast in his grip
As he skins across the land.
Gifts in almost endless show
Stacked upon his fairy sleigh.
Treasures without stint, but O!
Not for such as they!
How reluctantly they turn
From the heaven at which they've
peeped.
Hearts with envious sadness burn,
Souls in gall of longing steeped.
+ Much they fear the saint will pass
Homes of want on Christmas day ;
Treasures hath he, but alas!
Not for such as they!
0! ye people heaven-blessed,
As ye chosse each dear one’s gift,
Think of little ones distressed,
Of the clouds that o’er them drift.
Make them glad on Christmas morn,
Give them one bright, happy day—
Show them that the Christ was born
E’en for such as they.

WORLD'S FAIR HOTEL
ACCOMMODATIONS.
8t. Louis Hostelries Prepared to Handle
Vast Throngs—Prices Not to Be In-
creased—Hotsl Inside of the Ex-
position Grounds With a Ca-
pacity For 6,000 Guests.
Ample hotel accommodations have
been provided for the World's Fair
visitors at St. Louis both within and
outside of the Exposition grounds.
The Exposition management has or-
ganized a free information service. A
pamphlet has been issued for gratui-
tous circulation explaining many of
the conveniences that have been pro-
vided. A list of all the-lhotels, with
rates, is contained in this pamphlet.
The entire city has beem canvassed,
and many thousands of private housc-

holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city, and the rates at which
guests will be received is a matter of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, a hotel on the EX-
position grounds, has a capacity for
68,000 guests. The Exposition manage-
ment has control of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $1.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan, including ad-
mission to the grounds. On the Amer-
ican plan the rates range from $3 to $5
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than 150 established
hotels in St. Louis, and a signed agree-
ment has been made between many of
their managers with the Exposition of-
ficials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites ad-
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay exor-
bitant rates for accommodations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men-
tioned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
Skinker road, overlooking the Exposi-
tion grounds. This hostelry will ac-
commodate 3,000 persons. The rates,
European plan, are from $1 to $5 per
day. The Grand View hotel, south of
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has
a capacity for 3,000 guests, and the
rates are §1 te $1.30 per day, Buropean,
and $2 to $2.50 per day on the Amer-
ican plan. The Kenilworth, on” West
a capacity of 1,500 guests, with a rate
of $1.30 per day.
The above mentioned are a few of the
new hotels that have been erected near
the Bxpositiom grounds fer the accom-
modation of Werld's Fair visitors. All
told there are about twescore. AH are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with esm-
prehensive views of the grounds. All
of the structures are wel built, and in
some of them the most luxurious quar-
ters sre obtainable. The rates are es-
teblished and wil mot be increased dur-
ing the Exposition.
NEW MUSIC FOR WORLD'S FAIR
Band Teurnament.
Musical people and all whe appreci-
ate good music may thank the World's
Fair for thee “notable” compositions,
written upon the invitation of the Ex-
position management. These are the
“Hymn of the West,” by the most
distinguished living American poet,
EBdmund Clarence Stedman, the music
for which was written by Professor
John K. Paine, whe is at the head of
the music department of Harvard uni-
versity; “Louisiana,” a march by
Frank Vanderstuken, leader of the
Cincinnati Orchestra; a waltz, “Along
the Plaza,” by Henry K. Hadley of
New York, who has won his laurels
long before this as writer of operatic
and other musical compositions. This
music wil be heard publicly for the
first time upon the opening of the Ex-
position on Saturday, April. 30, and fre-
quently thereafter in the musical pro-
grammes of the greatest of world's
fairs. These are the only official com-
positions.
Thirty thousand dollars will be given
in prizes for the best bands at a tour-
pament to be held during the Exposi-
tion. All through the World's Fair the
musical feature will be prominent.
The most famous bands of the world
are under contract to participate dur-
ing considerable periods. Among these
are Le Garde Republicaine band of |
France, the Royal Grenadier band of |
England, the American National bard, |
Sousa’s band and others.
COWS TRAINED
FOR THE TEST
Jerseys at the World’s Fair Are Ex-
pected to Show That They Are
Superior to All Other Breeds.
The herd of Jersey cows assembled
at th¢ World’s Fair at St. Louis to rep-
resent the Jessep breed in the universal
dairy test has been inspected and has
been pronounced in perfect condition
and ready to start upon their six
months’ grind on a day’s notice.
W. R. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey
farm, Dallas, Tex. was the inspector,
ind he was thorough in his work. He
passed a week on the Kxposition
grounds, and much of the time was
spent in and around the Jersey cattle
barn, and the condition of each indi-
vidual of the herd of forty cows was
definitely ascertained.
Never was more intelligent and care-
ful treatment lavished on animals. No
athlete was ever better trained for a
contest requiring the development of
speed, skill and endurance than has
been this herd of Jerseys. When it is
known that this herd is to compete
with selected hords of Holsteins, Short-
horns, Brown Swiss and Devous, and
the herd making the best score for the
production of butter, milk and cheese
is to establish the standing of the
.various breeds, the importance of the
cews being in perfect condition may
be understood. :
For a solid year the Jerseys have
Deen in constant training. Twenty-
five cows will participate in the com-
test. Cows were selected from the
best herds in the United States.
Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of
the American Jersey Cattle Club, un-
der whose auspices this entry is made,
toured ‘Europe and visited the famed
Isle of Jersey, where the breed origi-
nated. He was seeking the best cows,
but returned satisfied that Europe
could show no cows that were better
than those bred in America.
Though only twenty-five cows will
participate in the test, forty cows were
selected. They were assembled at
Jerseyville, Ill, a year ago. This is
near St. Louis, and the cattle have be-
come acclimated. Last December they
were removed to St. Louis. The cows
are the property of individual members
of the club and are loaned for the term
of the test. C. T. Graves, a breeder
at Maitland, Mo., was selected as the
superintendent to have charge of the
cattle, and he has been highly com-
plimented by Dr. Richardson and In-
spector Spann for the wonderfully fine
condition in which he has placed the
herd.
A series of model dairy barns have
been built for the breeds competing in
the test. The barns are octagonal in
form, and are so arranged that the
cows are in the center and a wide
promenade permits visitors to pass
around and view the cows as they
stand in their stalls.
The milking and feeding are to be
done in plain view of the public, and
representatives of the various herds
will at all times have access to all the
barns to see that no sharp practices
are indulged in..
The test not only consists in show-
ing the amount of butter, milk and
cheese produced, but the cost of pro-
duction is taken into consideration.
Every ounce of food given each cow is
weighed and carefully recorded. When
the cows are milked, the milk is com-
veyed to a model creamery in the Ag-
rigultural building, where it is tested
and made Into ‘butter and cheese and
where all records are carefully kept.
The Jersey cattle participated in a
shnilar test at Chicago during the Co-
lumbian Exposition and carried off
first honors.
Superintendent Graves is sanguine
over the result of the present test. He
says that the Jerseys bave always
demonstrated their superiority over all
other breeds when placed in competi-
tion, and this time they will show te
better advantage than ever. Not only
is the Jersey milk richer im butter fat
than the milk of any other breed, says
Mr. Graves, but it can be produced at
a less cost. The Jersey cows are the
smallest of the standard breeds, and
he asserts that they censume less feed.
They assimilate their food, and it is
converted into milk and butter and ie
not used in building up and sustaining
a large carcass.
“We are going to make all other
_ breeds take.to the woods after this
test,” sald Mr. Graves. “A few days
ago I was testing some of our Jersey
milk, and my hands were all sticky
and greasy from the enormous amount
of butter fat the milk contained. Mr.
Yon Heyne, who is in charge of the
Holsteins, sent over a quantity. of his
milk for me to test. Of course, from a
commercial standpoint, there was no
comparison between the milk, but it
was a pleasure to test his milk, for
when I got through there was no
grease on my hands. After this I
will have a bucket of Holstein milk
.arouynd handy to wash my hands in
after testing our own rich Jersey milk.”
The test begins May 16 and contin-
ues 120 days.
Unique California Map.
A unique exhibit at the World's Fair
was prepared by the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Califor-
nia. It is a large map, so colored as to
show the character of the various soils
of the state. It gives a clear idea of the
situation and the extent of the arable
and untillable sections. In the locali-
ties that cannot be cultivated are
shown the Sierras, the lava beds and
the desert. The map indicates the lo-
| cation of the cultivable portions of the
mountains and Mohave plateau and
ghows the nature of the foothills and
valleys of that wonderful state.
ADRIFT FOR TWO MONTHS.
Adventure May Explain How Pacific
Lands Were Peopled. .
James W. Davidson, our consul in
Formosa, has just told of a very re-
markable journey made by sixteen
natives of the Pelew Islands, who
wer® picked up nearly dead on the
island of Formosa. They were sav-
ages who had never heard of For-
mosa, but the wiwds and waves car-
ried them to that far-off shore.
Some Formosans saw the poor
wretches one morning on a beach of
their northeast coast; also three
canoes, the like of which they had
never seen before.
The canoes were fitted with outrig-
gers which helped to steady the little
vessels among the waves. In other
respects, also, they differed from
canoes common in that part of the
Malay archipelago.
The men were scattered along the
beach in a very weak and famished
condition. Only two or three of them
could speak, but no one understood
their language. They were taken to
the custom house, where they were
well cared for and slowly increased
in strength.
Bvery one was greatly surprised
when it was possible at last to learn
the story of their adventures. The
men had been fishing a few miles
from one of the Pelew Islands, where
they lived. A heavy gale came up
and carried them away from their
fishing grounds. .
They had in their canoes a consid-
erable quantity of fish, and during
their long journey, while the sport of
the waves and winds, they lived on
fish, though when their original sup-
ply was exhausted they were unable
to catch a sufficient number to meet
their needs.
They drifted this way and that for
sixty days, and had not the slightest
jdea where they were when they
finally came within sight of the moun-
tains of Formosa. The next day they
were cast up on the beach; and it
speaks well for the strength of their
craft as well as their own powers of
endurance that they should have held
out so long.
When they had recovered sufficient
strength to undertake the journey
home they were sent to Hongkong,
whence they obtained passage to the
Caroline Islands, and soon after were
taken home by a vessel plying in the
island trade. Their friends welcomed
them as though they had risen from
the dead.
This is one of the involuntary voy-
ages of which so many records have
now been collected that anthropolo-
gists believe they adequately explain
the means by which the widely sever-
ed bits of land in the wastes of the
Pacific received their inhabitants.
In some way or another the per-
sons found on these bits of land must
have been brought there; but the
problem how they were transported
could not be satisfactorily explained
as the result of the expertness of
oceanic peoples in navigation.
About 10 years ago a patient Ger-
man student named Otto Sittig col-
lected a great many instances of the
involuntary voyages of these oceanic
peoples from one island ww another.
He found that many of them while
out at sea in their small craft, had
been carried over 1,000 miles to other
islands.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The Paris of Siberia.
Harry de Windt, the explorer, writes
thus of Irkutsk, which he calls the
Paris of Siberia: “It is an unfinished,
slipshod city, a strange mixture of
squalor and grandeur, with tortuous,
ill-paved streets, where the wayfarer
looks instinctively for the ‘no-thor-
oughfare’ board. There is one long,
straggling main street, with fairly
good shops and buildings, but beyond
this Irkutsk remains much the same
dull, rearly-looking place that I re-
member in the early ‘30's before the
railway had aroused the town from
its slumber of centuries. Even now
the place is absolutely primitive and
uncivilized from a European point of
view, and the yellow Chinese and
beady-eyed Tartars who throng the
business quarters are quite in keeping
with the oriental filth around, unre-
deemed by the usual Eastern color
and romance. On fine mornings the
marketplace presents a curious and
interesting appearance, for here you
may see the celestial in flowery silk
elbowing the fur-clad Yakute and Bok-
hara shaking hands with Japan.”
A Prize Blizzard Story.
Charles Young of Monongahela, has
badly frozen feet as a result of a foot
- bath which he took one night.
When about to retire he got a
bucket of hot water in which to bathe
his feet. The room was cold and he
lay back on the bed, drawing the
covers partly over him. With his
feet in the water he fell asleep.
He awakened in the morning to find
his feet frozen in the bucket, the
water having turned to a solid cake
of ice.
Physicians say they may not have
to amputate the frczen members.—
Philadelphia: North American.
Plant Without Roots.
There is a plant in Chili,
similar one in Japan, called the
“flower of the air.” It is so called
because it appears to have no root,
and is never fixed to the earth. It
and a
twines round a dry tree or sterile
rock. Each shoot produces two or
three flowers like a lily—white, trans.
parent, and odoriferous. It is cap-
able of being transported 600 or 700
miles, and vegeta
as it travels sus-
| pended on a twig.—Exchange.
