Rows of polished woods, all labeled, occa
sionally arranged Into some seniblnnne of
order nnd sometimes used a the material
for a pavilion, make up the Interior ot tho
Forestry building. Ilrltlsh India, Japan,
81am. the Houth and Central American ile
publlns and France and Germany among
the European Governments have contributed
exhibition to the display.
Teak is the wood of India most universally
used. In Europe tnnk is used for the wood
work of Iron ships nnd war vessels, and In
India tor the construction ot houses. The
Houth Arcot and Neilcre districts of llurmnh
furnish the greatest supply of teak. There
is a carved doorway In the Forestry Build
ing which is a marvel of thn wood carver's
art. It was executed by a famous Mandalny
carver, Maung Shevi lining, and required
years of labor. The detail work is elabo
rate. The work was done under the direc
tion of the conservator of the forests ot tho
eastern circle ol upper llurmnh, and by him
exhibited. The goAernl outline nnd design
of tho doorway is the same ns those used in
the thrones nnd In different parts of Manila
lay paluces. The doorway is about nine foot
bigh. The carving In a triangular space
over thu door represents the city ot Maudu
lay with the king and his courtiers iu the
foreground. The lowest tier shows the city
walls with one of its seven-roofod gateways,
ubout which stand the guardian "Nuts" nnd
other mythological figures. On the tier
above are carved the king s ministers, while
above all are the king and his queens in the
palace.
The carving was done In teak wood and
has a strong odor of sandal oil. There are
tables and mantels delicately oarved Ir. ori
ental designs. One mantel In the exhibit is
of shishum, redwood, wulnut, book wood
and teak wood, and was raised from the
ruins of Vljiauager, near Bellary, in Madras.
The teak Is 600 years old, and the shishum
dates back before the Christian era. The
mantel was designed by three Hlkh carpen
ters, Aurman, Utam and Uopul, subjects of
the Maharajah of Kapurthnla. Here also
nre slabs of ebony from Indian forests nnd
dyes and tanning sulmtauoes used by the
Hindoos. A doorway of pudouk wood forms
the entrance to the British India exhibit.
The wood in eolor it between mahogany and
cherry, and In the beauty of tho groin is
more perfect than either.
The woods of Japan differ from those ot
any other Nation. The grain of tho trees ex
hibited is exceedingly tine. Among some of
the most beautilul and vulued woods are the
ito-masa and sugl-moku. The lto-masa Is
straight-grained and hard, while the sugl
moku has a beautiful wavy grain and Issofter
than the ito-niasa. The yearly rings of the
sugl-moku form in ves, and the wood is
largely used 1b Interior decorations. The
forests of Ouo-Gor and Hldl in the province
of Bhinano furnish a purplish red wood,
ailed kalt, whleh takes a beautiful polish
and Is chosen by the wealthy lor theadoru
motit of tbeir houses. The largest part oil ha
Japanese ublbit is given UD to bamboo. The

In Machinery Hall, making loo cream Is
just like printing papers or sewing button
holes. 1 ho wheels do the work, and all I hit

suit nnd occasionally to take a taste, where
upon the crowd watches him with breathless
envy. They hnve tables where tho ieo cream
is served when it comes out ot tho shining
cans.
Down the main aisle are two or threo
places where special designs are put on
articles of glassware,. A man picks up a

The silk looms were rattling a high speed,
laying thread upon thread of the Exposition
badges. Each badge had a picture of
Christopher Columbus nnd some fancy letter,
ing in red and blue. And people were buy.
in g these bndgea as theycamo hot from the
looms. About fifty people women in the
majority stood around a knitting machine
to see a blonde girl direct the making ot a
sock. At this plsoe no souvenirs wera
A STREET IK OAIIIO, MIDWAY FLAISAKOE,
oflered, but across the aisle was a chattering
machine which lay hold of a place of straight
wire and twisted It into a corkscrew, with a
ring at the top to hook the finger through.
At some of the booths they wera giving away
picture cards, aluminum medals and Japan
ese lans. These did not seem as attractive
to the average drift of sight-sees as the flimsy
hand-bills printed on the llrst press ever used
iu New Hampshire. The rickety old veteran
squeeses out two hand-bills at each impres
sion and it keeps a man busy supplying tho
demand. This qualut old hand-press, stand
ing near the modern Hoe giants, tells Its
own story. It was built by Thomas Daren
port, of Boston, iu 1741 and was purchased
by Daniel fowler In 17M, afterward being
owned by John Meluher, ths first etatt
printer ol New Homos bin.

the treatment of cholera invented by Dr.

demonstrated in the hospitals of St. i'eiers
buig last year has robbed the dread disease
of most ot its terrors. The process consists
merely of Hooding the Intestinal canal ol

Intervals ana thus washing out and render

ravages are carried on In tne intestines. Hy

Heathen Outwitting thn Hevlt.
A Chinese funeral never proeeeds
tralght from the house of morning to
tho graveyard. The devil Is always
on the lookout for funeral nnd fol
lows them to seize the soul of the
dead man, so, In order to outwit t he
evil one, the bearers take up the
hotly and start with It In a brisk trot,
while pneks of firc-crnekers and pyro
technics emitting a dense smoke and
vile smell nre set off Just ns the pro
cession starts. Having thus deceived
Old Nlek ns to tho direction tstken
by tho bearers they run as fast ns
they can with the body, then sud;
lenly turn a corner unci stop while
more fireworks are burned. Tho
Jevll cannot turn a corner easily, and
to, If renlly tn pursuit, he shoots on
by, and ty means of a good deal of
widen turning and stopping and a
lavish expenditure of fireworks, tho
funeral procession generally gets to
the grave In safety, while the old boy,
confused by their movements and
hulf suffocated by the fireworks, Is
till wandering about In the city.
The Chinaman who dies In the coun
try Is not In such good luck, for there
Is less chance to outwit tho enemy,
hut by many detours It can very often
be done. .

'August
Flower"
" I am happy to state to you and
to suffering humanity, that my wife
has used your wonderful remedy,
August Flower, for sick headache
and palpitation of the heart, with
satisfactory results. For several years
she has been a great sufferer, has
been under the treatment of eminent
physicians in this city and Boston,
and found little relief. She was in
duced to try August Flower, which
gave immedaite relief. Wc cannot
say to much for it." .1,. C. Frost,
