Lenkerd, Principal of Our Schools, Now Touring In Europe, In Letter to The Star, Tells of Ml Observation at the French Capitol. 1'AltlH, KHANl'l'!, Aug. fl, IIHHI. Once again has the r'uirlo City of tho world. l'urU, twirled tlie miiglo wand, lipped with golden fire. Onci uuln nt h ! bidding have the piilne s of b amy nnd ph'imitro. laughter and light, the like of which hint never b lore charmed tho peoples of tho earth, sprung Into splendid being; nnd once ngaln does tho Fairie Queen, In Lllioriy eap nnd gnwn, by tho tons of a kls from tho tips of her fingers call to all tho world to come and bo bewitched. Tlio call hns rung through tho tint Ions, sprend ns by tho four winds of heaven, and from every corner of tho earth have come men nnd women, youth nnd old age, to receive the wvlwui? and j"lti lu tbo merry, jrillntf. pitching, litinlllng Huong. For the children of tho world gladly hearken to this fair piper. Pari', nnd hasten t be swnllnwed up, not in n mountain, but within the walls of tho brilliant city for alline. For Paris of all el lies knows how to gather all peoples together and, lot them bo evi r so d'vei'elfled In tholr tastes, hIio understands hmr to make each ouo of thorn happy for the. tlmo, long or short, that he or sho may stay within tho walls of tho capltol. Sho, Paris,' Is shaped for jollity; her face Is nn Invitation, Iter "cute" ways nnd art are Irresistible, her nlrs and graces are entrancing, and the very surliest of us nil aro forced to smile in sympathy with her glee. In arranging this International (expo sition of 11)00, Paris has put her best foot foremost, and there Is no best foot In the world to bo compared to thu best foot of her. Here in Paris is tlie clour, exhilarating atmcsphere; here are tho glorious broad boulevards, tbo alt-encompassing nirclo of pleasures, nnd sights and sounds: hero the hilarity of a holiday In ever In tho air. Paris know s tlio art of a joyous existence; she has learned everything that gms tow ards tho making of enjoyment, and that has lurid tho more solemn nation. This land of polish and politeness, rich In history, rich In trensuro and art, rich In the art of living, culls to all nations to forget,for a season at least, tholr con tentions nnd rivalries, and to join in tho ttrofi table re vol of an International Ex position. She has constituted herself a friend of ono and all; sho gives to all a most gracious welcome and Is deter mined that they shall look back with ploaant recollections, to the end of tholr lives, to thu holiday spent In Paris in 1900, and the hospitality shown to thtun by the French nation in general and the citizens of Paris In particular. Even before ono enters the beautiful grounds ho has begun to view thoslghts of tho Exposition. Tbo principal en trance, tho "Place de la Concorde" Is In Itself a revelation. It stands as a verit able scintillating, airy gateway to tho many palaces of delight. On either sido of It towers a decorative obelisk, each of which, though by no means a cloud of smokn by day, Is certainly a pillar of Are by night. Employing the artistic genius which the world frocly acknowledges the French people to possoss, they have mode this gateway to typify the light, and color and har mony of tbe Exposition itself. Architec turally, the structure la graceful, light and inviting, a mighty arch though it bo. Tbey have skillfully arranged in It myriads of electrlo lights, and with tbo greatest care they have chosen and blended tho colors, so that at night the whole shines as if designed to be the entrance to the realm of the stars. Never has the most brilliant and beau tiful of illumlnants been used with a more lavish hand than in tho Exposi tion and In the gateway of the Place do la Concorde. Passing through the beautiful en trance tho visitor finds himself at once among tbe shrubs and flowers of the Horticultural Exhibition, whioh are scattered all over the grounds. Tbe managers seem to have seized upon ouch little remnant of ground that escaped the attention qf the builders, or was not needed for walks and avenues, and turned It over to the lovers of flowers, shrubs and trees, so that at every turn tho visitor comes upon natural beauties. A short walk through the gorgeous display of flower gardens within the entranoo brings one suddenly before tbe two buildings that are dedicated to the fine arts. The exterior of these two buildings Is closely and carefully stud led by all lovurs of the beautiful in architecture and sculpture. The lar ger, which Is devoted to tho fine arts of the nations of the world, is a most striking structuro and deserves special attention. The stately pillars that stand in a row around thu building, the noblo statuary, the oolossnl figures that rcprosi nt the various arts, examples of which are seen inside, and thu sur mounting dome of glass, when tho sun strikes upon It, stand forth In almost dnr.ling whiteness, This building Is Intended to be a permanent attraction to Paris. Upon entering tho rotunda the visitor may readily Imaging himself In fairyland, each piece of statuary standing forth In beautiful whiteness nmld a flood of light let In through the crystal demo. About half of thu build ing Is taken up by France hot self, tho remainder being devoted to thocxhlblts of till nation of tho world. Russia, s Is the CASO In Several other depart ment of the exposition, makes a good showing nnd receives favorablo com ment. The skill exhibited here by tho U. 8., ns well as elsewhere, I think Is equal to that of any other nation. In some things sho exoells by far. As ono passes from section to section of this cplciulid building, ho suddenly steps from tho atmosphere of ono country Into that of unuth'.T until ho hits gazed upon tho skies, the landscape, nnd seen tho peoples and their quaint costumes of the whole civilised world and of some parts of tho world that are nolclvillzed. Leaving behind tho masterpieces In sculpture and painting nnd proceeding itcrims the bridge Alexander HI (which, by tho way, Is a magnificent structure studded at the four corners with four massive white pillars, each bear ing aloft In golden splendor, Pegasus, tho winged steed, representative of thu muses, and the embodied Ideal of poetic Inspiration), thu visitor finds himself in a busy world of commerce. To the left and right of him. looking towards the glided dome of Napoleon's tomb he bo holds a part of tho Exposition whoso buildings lKk curlniinly like huge sugar coated wedding cakes. Those aro all joined together In two long rows bo tween which runs a broad avenue (Es planade des Invalides). These build ings are startlingly white nnd the row of couts-of-arms or the crests of tho great cities of the world, all painted In vivid colors, make, to the unaccustomed eye. a pretty picture. This department is devoted to many industries. Hero, ngnin, France finds It necessary to util ize a largo share of tho space, almost the whole of one row of buildings being devoted to her exhibit. In the other row of buildings, Switzerland, Japan, Denmark, Great Britain, the United States, Germany, Russia, Belgium and a fow other nations have roomy places in which each trios her best to put be fore the millions of visitors a repress tattve assortment of articles to prove the skill and accomplish men ts of her craftsmen. Here the genuine is mado known amd the spurious detected; here prices as well as workmanship are com pared, for tho representatives of the various 'Countries are anxious to give all Information that anyone cares to ask. The visitor, after leaving this hive of industry, strolls along the Soine and Inspect a long row of buildings each of which Is in a manner typical of the conn try to which It belongs and by whose enterprise they have been erected. These are the pavilions of the various nations taking part In the Exposition Here tbe traveler from ' every land Is sure to see sights familiar to his eye Again the visitor passes suddenly from the atmosphere of one nation to that of another with ample opportunity to note tho various customs, manners and lan' guuges of their peoples. For example, the Turkish pavilion, which is next to that of the U. S., Is crowded with a noisy horde of venders loudly importun ing all passers by to purchase of their wares or enter their shows; while tbe space of our own pavilion is divided off into handsome and well furnished ro' caption rooms, writing rooms, readiug rooms, postofflce, bureau of Information, and everything intended to invite the weary sightseer to an hour of rest and reverie. Tbe U. S. pavilion Is sur mounted with a -sptondld dome repre senting the one on the capltol at Wash Ington, from whioh the Stars and Stripes floats a woloome sight to the tourists from across the great deep. Passing on up tbe bank of the river the visitor comes to the war and navy department, whore each nation trios to show what a formidable adversary or powerful adversary she might be in time of international disturbances, United States armor plate and battle ships excite noeroall auiouutof interest, Mrenl Britain's building quite puts Run sin's "homo out of joint." It Is a wonder- Inland fearful combination of fort and battleship tho battleship with masts and fighting tops resting, as It. wore, outsido a stubborn fort. Tho decora tions cotiKist chiefly of grent cables, cannon, cannon halls and anchors. Following this Is a more peaceful view tlio section devoted to the merchant marine. Here Great Britain proves her superiority In the commerce of the world, though sho Is closely followed by tho United Status, which makes n splen did showing. W may now turn our steMj toward tho "Champ de Mars," which Is really tho gr?at wing of tho exposition. This great nvetuiu resounds with laughter. Hole bands play. Everywhere are seen myriads of cosy llttlo tables, comfort able chairs, cooling drinks, nnd other refreshments. At night a million lights burn their tiny flames In all the colors of tho rainbow. Tho most conspicuous object Is the famous Eiffel tower (mint ing 1000 feot towards thu blue skies. A trip to thu top lays In wonderful panor ama the entire exposition, Paris and a'l its environment beforo the gaze of thu beholder. Tho greater part of tho wonderful things In the way of products of coun tries nnd fabrics of nil sorts aro to be found In the splendid buildings that surround the Champ de Mars. It would ho quite Impossible to givu In less com pass thun a many paged volume an ac count of all that can be seen In this part of the exposition. Here aro found many shows such ns tho Swiss colony, an Im mense panorama of the tour of the world and close to a magic pool of watur a most marvelous palace of light. Passing nn one enters what may . be called the exposition proier. Tho first section of this great building which surrounds thu broad avenue on thrco sides Is devoted to mining and mineral ogy. Tho great nations ngaln placing their products in close proximity, so that comparison may easily be made. These have entered Into the exposition with a whole heart and their buit ef forts may bo seen at every turn. In this samu manner another section is devoted to dry goods, nnothnrIo ma chinery, while, thowlng what an im portant place In the minds of men, as well as In their stomach, thu whole of ono end of this great twin building is devoted to agriculture und foodstuffs. Again near tho central portion we como upon a large section given up to an ex hibition of electrlo lighting and all that crtaina thereto. Following on In an other department is found machinery agnin, then In turn chemistry, civil en gineering, education, science and art all receive their prour space and at tention. A whole building is devoted to hunting, fishing and forestry exhibits. Then creasing the swift flowing Solno again on another bridge tho visitor comes to the last grand section of the exposition of 11)00. The dominating building hero is called tho "Palais du Trocaduro." Grouped around this building and occupying the lion's share of tho ground aro tho colonies of the various nations. Among tho colonies are to bo seen many quaint and interest ing scenes. One may breakfast in Mad agafccar, lunch in India, dine In Soudan, sup In Indo-China, and drink with all of them. Every exposition, ltseoms, must have its unique feature. Tho former Purls Exposition had its Eiffel tower, Chicago had its Ferris wheel. This time the public will no doubt vote the "Platforme Mobile,'1 or the moving platform as the unique featureof the show of KtOO. This platform is perpetually on the' move and all a person who wishes to trans port himself to some section reached by the moving floor has to do is to step aboard and wait until tho platform brings hint to his destination, when he may as freely stop off again. The plat form runs overhead in a circle about the entire grounds. The visitor who properly sees the exposition has cer tainly seen the world in epitome. He has tarried under tho southern cross, bo has smelt the chill air of the far north, ho has long loiterer' through the balmy, fruitful middle lands, gazed upon many strange faces, examined many quulnt costumes and customs, breathed in the atmosphere of those far off lands that the fancy longs to visit but the purse rofuses to exploit. Paris herself is always worthy of a visit, but Paris with these scintillating additional attractions Is a wondorlund of delights. Sincerely, O. W. Lexkerd. That Throbbing Headache.

One nf the most el;. . .its sights to be eon In a rnvnlry eluitire Is the various riderless horse galloping In the line In perfect order. At tho churge nf Hula klava the front rank of one regiment was composed to a great extent of rid erless animals, their funsters Itnvlng dropped one by one. It wotthl seem that hi the excitement of tho moment the horses lose nil conception of what Is happening nrouiiit tlieui nnd probn bly fail to notice the fall of their rid ers. The return of rlderleas horses to ramp Is an nltnnst certain sign of de feat. When n rnvnlry ehnrge I suc cessful, the burses will, ns I have said. all keep up together, even though they hare lost their riders, but when a force Is routed the first new of III omen to those In the rear will he the return of the horses with empty saddles and stirrups dangling free. No more sorry Ight enn be Imagined. To Illustrate the callous feeling these animals have under fire A rose which happened at Lndysmltli during the siege may be cited. A farrier sergeant wns engaged In shoeing nn Oliver's horse In tie open ground behind the stables of b hotel and had already put one or two nail Into the shoe wlien a shell came scrwim Ing through the nlr. The next mo ment the missile burst five or six yards away from where the sergeant ami tbe horse were standing, and the splinters flew around both, but failed to touch either. When the smoke had cleared, the horse wns to be seen with Its foot still In the man's apron, quite undis turbed by the Incident. Pearson' llagaxlne. Bavin- a Fan la Spata. This Is how a Hpnnish senorlta bar gains for her fan, according to Miss Katharine Lee Bates, who spent some time In Hpnln studying the people and customs of that sunny clime: There Is nothing sordid about It. Her huggllng Is a social condescension that nt once puts the black eyed young salesman nt her mercy. "But the fan seems to me tho least bit dear, senort" He shrugs his shoulders nnd fllugs out his arm In protest. "Ah. sonotlta! You do not see how beautiful the work Is. I am giving It away at 6 pesetas." Rlie lifts her eyebrows half Incredu lously, nil hewltchluKly. "At B pesetas, senor." Ho runs his hand through his black hair in chivalrous distress. "Hut the peerless work, senorlta! And this other too. I aacrlllce It at 4 pese tas." 8he touches both fans lightly. "You will let ns have the two at 7 pesetas, senor V Her eyes dance over his confusion. Ho catches the gleam, laughs back, throws up his bands. "Rueno. senorlta t At what you please!" And the senorlta trips away content ed with a sharp bargain, although for Spanish gnllautry, even when genuine, goes farther on the Hps than otherwise tlie price wns probably not much more remote from what pleased tho smooth tongued clerk than from what she pleased. Youth's Companion. Aa lacenloaa Toper. An eminent tragedian, given to In toxicants, wns once locked up In a room at the rear of the theater to keep him In proper condition till he was call ed to go ou the stuge. One door ot the compartment opened on the street, and while looking through the keyhole he saw a man pushing. Calling him up to the door, be pushed some money through a crack nnd in structed him to go to tbe public house at the opiMislte corner and procure a pint of glu und a clay pipe, promising to rewurd him for his trouble. The man did as directed, nnd when ho returned with the articles, the actor told him to put the stem of the pipe through the keyhole und pour the glu carefully Into the bowl. These instructions the accommodat ing individual also followed, nnd the result was that when the mnnnger call ed to notify him of bis turn he found him In a very happy frame of mind, but not at nil In a condition calculated to add to his fame as an actor. Lon don Tlt-Blts. Aa Impudent Fraud. An Impudent fraud was perpetrated upon a Manchester bank by one of Its customers, who opened an account with some few hundreds of pounds. The man, after a few weeks, drew two checks, each within a pound or so of his balance, and, selecting a busy day, presented himself at one end of the lountcr, while an accomplice, when be saw that his friend's check bad been cashed, Immediately presented hi own to a cashier at the other end. Both cashier referred the check to the ledger clerk, who, thinking the same cashier bad asked him twice, said "right" to both check. The thieve were never caught Kjr'a Iatrnanetloa. When James Whitcomb ltiley and Bill Nye traveled together giving a Joint entertainment, the humorist had great fun with the poet. Ouce, In in troducing Riley and himself to an au dience, Nye remarked, "I will uppcur first and speak until I get tired, then Mr. Riley will succeed me and read from bis own .works until you get tired."
