FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 14, 1893.
The next international exposition
will be held at San Francisco, Cal.,
from January 1 to June 30, 1804.
The fair will be held in Golden Gate
park and will cover an area of about 100
acres. The chief buildings will havo
the titles, "Manufactures and Liberal
Arts," "Agricultural and Horticul
tural Hall," "Mechanical Arts," "Fine
Arts and Decorative Art" and "Ad
ministration Building."
A young woman, a member of u
church choir in St. Louis, went to the
prosecuting attorney one day last
week and demanded a warrant for
the arrest of all its other members,
because tbey had asserted that her
voice was not good and that she
spoiled tho harmony of every effort
made by the choir. She wept when
tho attorney told her the others had
a right to criticise her voice.
A chemist computos that at the
present market value the human
cadaver contains something like $lB,-
000 worth of calcium. But like tho
fabulous values of aluminium iu clay,
or of the gold in sea water, the cost
of extraction at present prevents all
profit to the would-be enterprising
manufacturers, and the schools of
anatomy will havo no immediate cause
for alarm as regards commercial com
potition.
Attendance at tho World's fuir has
considerably increased of late, and
the rigid measures of economy adopt
ed by the directors have largely re
duced expenses without lessening the
attractions of the exposition for the
general public. The introduction of
new features of popular entertain
ment from day to day should notably
swell the local patronage, while the
out-of-town contingent of visitors, as
during the centennial exhibition, will
doubtless show a material increase in
numbers from this time forth. The
fair may not be a inarkod financial
success; but the fear of disastrous
failure need no longer haunt the
dreams of its managers.
During the last three months,
while work of every kind was pretty
generally suspended in all parts of
the country, there is said to havo been
a large exodus of Italians, Hungarians
and Russians from the eastern states.
It is estimated that not less than 50,-
000 men, mostly day laborers, depart
ed for tlieir native homes. Steam
ship companies vouch for the fuctH of
this heavy transportation, and what
is more, give it us their opinion that
only a small percentage have an inten
tion to return. This is significant, and
not surprising. It is the custom of
the Hungarians and Italians, on ac
quiring sevoral hundred dollars, to re
turn to their native countries, where
they can live in comfort on their earn
ings, and no doubt the unnsual num
bor returning this year simply took
advantage of Ihe hard times, fearing
they would be thrown out of work in
any event.
It is extremely arnusiDg to the
average citizen to see our Republican
contemporaries seriously charging the
Democratic party with all the wrongs
and discrepancies under which the
people are living at present. It
seems to be their policy to try to con
vince intelligent people that a mere
change of administration effects and
alters all laws of the nation. The ab
surdity of their crying is plain to be
seen, wben it is considered that the
laws which are the cause of the pres
ent temporary dullness in trade, are
Republican measures, and moreover
that no law which has the slightest
connection with trade has been pas-

The whole matter simply resolves
itself into one solution. That it is a
fear, a fear that is cowardly, on the
part of a goodly number of the peo
plo of the country, to give a fair trial
to some new measure that is meant
for our benefit, when it is clearly
proven that our present system of
trade, after years of operation, is not
all that the people desire, that causes
all the opposition, and is the principal
opposition, to the contemplated re

Brazilian I telle lit Paris.
At a recent dinner at which several
diplomats were present the ever-fer
tile bubjoct of beautiful women came
up, and as usual evoked many com
ments, criticisms, and memories of
past beauties as compared with the
belles of tho present day, says a
writer in tho New York Tribune.
"Who is the most beautiful woman
you have ever seen?" was asked of the
minister to , who has grown gray
in tho service and had lived in every
large town in Europe.
"Unquestionably the empress of
Austria," he replied, without a mo
ment's hesitation. "Of course I speak
of the time when she was younger and
happier than she is now. I remember
well the first time 1 saw her. We were
j all assembled in a large salon of the
paluce when some heavy velvet por
tieres were suddenly drawn back and
she appeared, surrounded by her
ladies. It was like a veritable fairy
scene. I suppose I was young and
foolish and impressionable, but—what
a vision of loveliness I thought her!
She was dressed in violet, with some
thing glistening all over it, and I took
it all in at a glance—her regal figure
and carriage, her magnificent 03*68
and the superb coronet of lialr which
she wore plaited as one sees oven now
in her pictures. She spoke most
graciously to me, a youngster, and it
was then and there that I became her
slave and shall be till I die!"
"Well," said one of bis listeners, "I
never saw the empress of Austria, but
1 have a picture in my mind that I
would not like to loan. My beauty
was a Brazilian who hod lived in Paris
most of her life. She was too perfect
in looks to require any wits, I suppose,
for I must confess she was rather
stupid; but it suited her style to be
apathetic and indifferent. One even
ing my angel was smoking a cigarette
and a spark fell on her light muslin
gown. She only said: 'Look, mon
ami, my dress is on fire; pray put me
out,' and I really felt grateful to her
for not jumping up and screaming as
most women would, thus shattering
my Ideal of the absolute calm and rest
fulness of her great beauty."
DUELING IS NO JOKE.
Eighty Per Cent, of Duets in Europe Re
sult In Casualties.
It is a great mistake to imagine that
casualties are tffe exception to Eu
ropean meetings on the field of honor,
sayb the St. Louis tlepublio. On the
contrary, they constitute the rule,
their average amounting to as high as
> 80 per cent, of the duels fought in Ger
-5 many, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium,
F Holland and Spain, while in Franco
the average is only about 40 per cent.
, There were 4,000 duels fought during
j the year 1800, in which 700 men were
( killed outright, 1,000 sustained dan
gerous wounds which in many cases
' resulted fatally, while no less than
1 4,800 of the remaining combatants ro
s coived minor injuries. That is to say,
1 out of 8,000 principals in 4,000 duels
j only 1,400 escaped without harm. The
2 average is nearly identical in the
other countries above named. From
this it will be seen, oxcept, perhaps, in
France, the chances of escaping scathe
, less from a duel arc relatively very
r small.
Another disagreeable consideration
of tho "iifFulr of honor" is the knowl
edge that, instead of getting hurt or
killed yourself, you may have the
misfortune to inillct a mortal wound
upon your adversary, In which case the
tribunals of the country will generally
sentence you to a term of Beveral
months imprisonment and to pay heavy
damages to the relatives of the dead
man.
A SURPRISED HUSBAND.
lie ComeM Home In Time to Jolu In Cele
brating IIIn Wife's First W<-ildiiig.
When I returned from my latest trip,
says a drummer, I went home at some
thing- after nine o'clock in the evening.
There was my house lighted up from
top story to basement; carriages were
leaving- the door, and alTairs seemed to
be going on inside on a grand scale. I
let myself into the basement with a
latch key and walked into the dining
room. Strains of music came from the
back part of the hall, and tho minified
laughter and conversations indicated
a host of guests.
Presently my wife came into the
diuing-r<*>m dressed like a princess;
she ran up to uic, saying:
"Oh, Jack! I'm so glad you've come
home early."
"So*m I," said I; "what's tho racket
—surprise party?"
"Surprise party?" said she, with a
pout; "no, indeed, it's the anniversary j
of my wedding."
"Tilda," said I, "you're oft; you're
way off. This Is the month of March
—it was in the summer wo were mar
ried 1"
She serenely replied: "I know that
very well; this is the anniversary
of my first marriage. Go put on your
dress suit, dear."

In isr>7, says I*rof. Evans in the Pop
ular Science Monthly, Jules Richard
had occasion to visit a sick friend in a
hospital, where ho made the acquaint
ance of an old otlicial of the institu
tion from the south of France who was
exceedingly fond of animals, his love
of them being equaled only by his
hatred of priests. lie claimed also to j
be perfectly familiar with the lan- |
gtiage of cats and dogs and to speak
the language of apes even better than
the apes themselves. Jules Richard
received this statement with an in
credulous smile, whereupon the old
man, whose pride was evidently
touched by such skepticism, invited
him to come the following morning to
the zoological garden. 4, 1 met him at
the appointed ploco," says Mr. Richard,
"and wo went together to the
monkeys' cage, where he leaned on the
outer railing and began to utter a suc
cession of guttural sounds which al
phabetical signs are scarcely ade
quate to represent—'Kirruu, kirrikie,
kuruki, kirikiu'—repeated with slight
variations and differences of accentua
tion. In a few minutes the whole
company of monkeys, a dozen in num
ber, assembled and sat in rows before
him with their hands crossed in their
laps or resting on their knees, laugh
ing, gesticulating and answering."
The conversation continued for a full
quarter of an hour, to tho intense de
light of the monkeys, who took a live
ly part in it. As their interlocutor
was about to go away they all became
intensely excited, climbing up the bal
ustrade and uttering cries of lamenta
tion. When he finally departed and
disappeared more and more from tlieir
view they ran up to the top of the
cage, and, clinging to the frieze, made
motions as if they were bidding him
good-by. It seemed, adds Mr. Rich
ard, as though they wished to say:
"We are sorry to part and hope to
meet again, and if you can't come, do
drop us a lino!"
HANGED THE INTRUDERS.
How Home Wise an<l Ingenious Wrons Oot
fild of the luqulHltlve HjmrrowH.
Tho Uurlington Gazette tolls this in
testing bird story, nnd has three men
ready to sign anj' number of affidavits
that it is true:
At the end of Prof. Thomas' big barn
are a number of bird houses for the use
of the thousands of feathered songsters
who keep the air alive in that locality.
The place is close enough to the city
to be infested with the pugnacious and
hoggish English sparrow, and for some
years the sparrows and the wrens have
fought the season through for the pos
session of the little houses. The wrens,
being the sinullost, invariably came off
second best in tlitf encounter until this
year, when the 110109, or doors, were
arranged so that a wren could got in,
but a sparrow's body could not pass
through. Still tho sparrows continued
their annoyances by sticking their
heads in tho doors as far as possible
and worrying the poor little wrens to a
state of distraction. Finally the wrens
deeided upon a plan of action. They
rigged up a horsehair noose directly
Inside their little houses in such away
that any intruding sparrow would stick
his neck into it. As a consecpience the
men were surprised one day to find a
sparrow hanging by the neck from one
of the housos, dead as a country town
011 Sunday, lie was cut down, and for
a few days the sparrows let the wrens
rest undisturlnid. Then another spar
row became inquisitive, and before he
knew it he too was dangling in the air,
unable to savo himself. These are the
only two Instances that came under
the observation of the men, though
others perhaps have happened.
A NOVEL PLAN.
How on ICiiqll*h Inn Provided for l'ftrmum
with a Cold In the Head.
Nothing but travel, and extensive
travel at that, will give a person a full
idea of the queer ways that there are
in the world. An American who was
not long since journeying through the
midland counties of England relates :
that in a small oountrj' town he once
entered an itin, rather pretentious for
the place, and called for turbot, a fa
vorite dish in those parts.
The American had had a few days of
dense fog and his appearance and man
ner perhaps showed that ho hail be
come a little wheezy In consequence of
the elimato. He was forced to have
frequent recourse to his pocket hand
kerchief.
When the turbot was brought the
guest fancied, even before it reached
his plate, that it was no longer fresh,
and an attempt to eat It confirmed that
impression, lie called the proprietor,
who at once sent a waiter for fresh
turbot and removed the objectionable
dish.
"I beg your parding, sir," said the inn
keeper, "but we got the idee, sir, as
you came in, that you had a bad cold
in yer 'cad, sir."
"And suppose I had? What would
that have to do with my being served
spoiled fish?" exclaimed tho American,
somewhat indignantly.
"lie very think, sir. Wo has this rule
in this *ouse: Fish as is a leetle
doubtful, like that 'ere, sir—them
which has lost the savpr of youth, as I
may say—them wc serves to parties as
appears to 'ave colds in their 'cads sir;
and we finds that, heiu' as such parties
can't smell nothink, they likes the fish
just as well, sir, and hoften they pre

The origin of the fan can be traced
to the most remote antiquity. "It is
ascribed by some historians to Ivan-si,
daughter of a Chinese mandarin, and
by others to the sibyl of Cumea, who is
said to have used a fan during 1 the de
livery of her oracles." History repeats
Itself. llow many of our modern sibyls
deliver their oracles while gracefully
manipulating their fans. But even
long before tho days of the sibyl the
fan was commonly used in Egypt, as
is evident from its having been painted
on the walls of the tombs at Thebes.
where the king is represented sur
rounded by a group of fan bearers.
In Greece traces of the fan have been
found as early as 500 B. 0. Fans were
always popular among tho women of
Home, and were often used by the men.
At dinner it was a common custom for
slaves to stand behind the chairs of the
guests waving long-handled fans. This
custom prevailed throughout our south
ern states during the days of slavery,
as it still does to u certain extent. I
have often dined in the south where
two or three young ncgresses stood
round the table waving long fans mode
of peacock feathers.
The medieval fan was made of eagle
or peacock feathers in a variety of
forms, and fastened with handles of
gold, silver or ivory, often set with
precious stones of great value.
Catherine de Medicts is said to have
been the first to introduce a fan in
Franco, and after her it was generally
used. The fan she used could be folded
like those of the present day. No
court toilet was considered complete
without a fan, and during the reign of
Henry 11. and of the Louises fans be
came objects of such luxury that they
often cost hundreds of dollars.
In England fans are less used than in
almost any other.eountry. In Spain they
are so much and so generally used that
life would be incomplete to a Spanish
woman without her fan. The women oi
Spain carry on conversations with their
fans; they have a regular code of sig
nals which express their ideas, or
rather feelings. In "Contarini" Flem
ing Disraeli graphically describes the
manipulations of tho fan by the fair
Spaniard.
In Japan and China the fan occupies
a most important placo in daily life.
The handsome Japanese paper fans
arc most in vogue for ordinary use.
Very pretty ones may be had for sov
cnty-five cents.
Feather, lace and r Ibbon fans arc
most favored for evening-dress. Three
novelties introduced this spring are
here given. One is made of rosettes
of ribbon fastened on tho sticks, and
is u very handsome affair. Another is
of ribbon having nino sticks, over
which the ribbon seems to be woven
like basket work. This called a witch's
fan; opened one way, it all falls apart,
to tho consternation of the uninitiated,
who imagine the fan is wrecked; but
opened the other way, presto! it is re
stored to a perfect fan.
The third fan shown Is one-half lace
and the other half flowers. When
closed It looks like a bouquet, and at
the opera or theater serves the purpose
of both fan and nosegay.
The outside hanging pockets, which
arc a necessity to some women, are
made this spring in varied shapes and
colors. Those most favored are of the
envelope shape, crocheted on ringfc
with silk to match the gown with

which they are to be worn, and are or
namented with little bows or tassels.
Others of this shape aro crocheted in
the close mitten stitch of black silk
with patterns of jet beads.
Pretty black and colored velvet bags,
with gold and silver tops, are much in
favor, as arc the velvet embroidered
ones carried on the arm or fastened to
the fan by long narrow ribbons. Those
are easily made, and have a pretty and
stylish appearance.—Julo Do Ityther.

USE OF POULTICES.
It Is Nut I iirierHtood at* Generally M
It Should Ho.
Physicians are often surprised at the
ignorance of patients concerning tho
use of poultices. Tho trouble arises
from a wrong idea as to the curative
action of a poultice.
In general, poultices aro primarily
localizers of inllammation; they act by
softening and stimulating the tissues
with which they are brought directly
in contact. Tho fact that their value
lies in the amount of heat and moisture
which they radiate to these tissues is
tho reason, probably, for their applica
tion by the laity in every case where
heat and moisture may happen to be
indicated as necessary.
Take, for example, says the Youth's
Companion, two cases—a poisoned
wound and a linger swollen by muscu
lar strain. It is manifest that these
two eases are not parallel, though in
both the application of heat is indicated
as a remedy.
In tho case of the poisoned wound,
we have the presence of a foreign sub
stance in the tissues. This sets up a
local inllammation, which by means of
the circulation tends to spread and
become general. We place a poultice
over the affected part, and immediate
ly the application of the heat brings to
it a fresh supply of blood containing
numerous leucocytes—white corpuscles
—whose business it Is to make war
upon all foreign matter with which
they may come in contact, and pus is
formed. This finds a proper means of
escape through the softened tissues
under the poultice, and with it comes
the poison.
In tho case of tho swollen finger, on
the other hand, we have a simple irri
tation, and what wo need in the way
of treatment is just enough heat to
draw a renewed supply of blood to tho
weakened part for its nourishment.
But we do not wish, as in the first case,
to confine the heat long enough to stim
ulate the leucocytes to activity, as in
that event we should only have made
a bad matter worse, with an abscess to
take care of.
The desired result may bo obtained
by simply plunging tho finger into
water as hot as can be borne for a
short time, or by rubbing on a stimu
lating liniment.
The moral of all this Is that wc aro
to use poultices only where we wish to
localize inflammation. In sprains and
the like proper stimulation is all that it
required.

to see if the mercury rises. At tho
left of the thermometer stretch three
rows of tinsel as shown in tho illustra

hang it, by lotting it rest perfectly
fiat against the wall. A rectangular
strip of birch bark with a thermom
eter tacked in the middle and a bow of
orange, or deop rod, or golden brown
ribbon at the top is also pretty. The
ribbons should harmonize with tho
furnishings of the room, but these
colors contrast prettily with the color
of the bark. Another odd way to
mount a thermometer is to fasten one
in the center of a piece of weather

Put to a cup of sea salt, ono-half
ounce of camphor and one-half ounce
of ammonia in a quart bottle; fill the
bottle with hot water and lot it stand
twenty-four hours; then, when pre

teaspoonful of this mixture, well
shaken, into your basin. A surprising
quantity of dirt will come from the

Slavery In 81am.
Slavery has been abolished in Siara
In name, says a writer in tho Contem
porary Review, but it can never be
abolished in fact, for tho slaves have
no moans of supporting themselves
outside their masters' houses. Every
member of the Siamese upper classes
can fetter his servants or throw them
into piHson without any kind of trial
or permission being necessary. One
morning I went to call upon one of the
ablest and most enlightened of the
ministers; a man who has been to Eu
rope, and who once actually got into
serious trouble for trying to inau
gurate a sort of woman's rights move
ment in Siam. I made my way by mis
take into a part of his grounds where
visitors were not expected, and I found
a slave fastened down to the ground
in an ingenious kind of pillory, ir
whieh he could not move hand or foot,
while another slave tortured him with
severe strokes of a bamboo rod at the
word of a member of tho family, in
order to force him to confess to some
misdeed.
