THE WOEI.D'S FAIH. In conversation with Mr. II. R. Cliarlton, of the Gionil Trunk Uail- d'ay Systom, who hus just returned Ironi the "5\'orld's Fair" at St. I.ouis, somi" interesting information was ({leaned rogardiiiff this large.st of {expositions ever held, llany of the ICasteni people, said Mr. Charlton, »re under the impression that the tomiwraturo of St. Louis at this time of the year is unbearable and that the mercury reache.s a high point. This ImpreRSion is quite er- 'froncoua and the average for the past "j'eek shows T2 degrees. The days are ploa.s'ant ani the evenings cool and comfortable. Thou.'fands of peo- ^:le are now reaching St. Louis from all parts of the country and dviring the rest of the life of the Exhibition IcDocombei- 1st) hundreds of thou- sands will have visited this luam- moth undertaking. To avoid the [crowds that will undoubtedly be there later all those wishing- to see Ithe Exposition to the best advan- jtage should go now before tlie ex- iceptionally large crowds are in evi- idence. The attendance is' increasing jovery Jay and last Monday nearly 1^00,000 people pasiscd through the gates. Another erroneous idea which seems to have gained ground is the price charged for accommodation at St. Louis, the rumor of wliich is un- warranted. There are hotels and private boarding hou.si's which cater to tlic pockets of all classes and a letter to the Information ISurcau, "World's Fair" will readily bring a list of thesA; rh"^es. Without a per- 'sonal visit no one has any concep- tion of the magnitude, grandeur, ar- tistic beauty and greatness embodied in the 1340 acres that contain the displays from every country in the universe and embrace the acme of perfection and evolution of liberal arts and .'â- 'cience up to the twentieth century. To see this with one's own eyes is worth years of study and is Ian education in itself. His Majesty's fan<oi^s Orenedier [liand from England and lono .vned jtHrougho'Ut the British l-'rapire open- led a six weeks' ongayenient at the fr'air on ,\ugust 29th and crowds sur- rounded the stand applauding lustily jto every nunilier.

Tie is a great believer in rich men helpiiiff promising young lads, instead of founding huge buiUIings. ilr. Oago considers that the progross of the world is helped on much more by assisting a boy to finish his tniuca- tion at college then by .spending; money in bricks and mortar. Daniel Vierge, who died recently in Paris and who was known as "the father of madern illustration," was a Si>aniard by birth. At the eighti- eth birthday celebration of 'Victor Hugo he was stricken with paralysis which rendered his right side power- less, but with rnre courage and per- .â- ^evernnco he trained his left han<l and continued to the end to be nt the head and front of modern illusrtra- tors. M. Combes, tht» French Premier, is a doctor by profession, and still re- tains his old copper nainoplate "Doc- teur Combes" on the front door of his house at Fons. Occasionally his medical services are asked by his old townspeople, and he says he ex- periences more satisfaction in reliev- ing their pain th.an in winning a po- litical victory. His chi.'f recreation in Paris is .said to lie the study of foreign langtiages. He is al.so very fond of cycling â€" a pastime, however, which he only engages in when stay- ing in the country. The Sidtan of Turkey cannot have a paiticularly happy life. He is so afraid of poison that every dish and drinking vessel is covered with a cloth and sealed.

And From a Used up Man He Be- came as Smart as a Boy. Orland, Ont.. .Sept. 19â€" (Specials- Mr. Chester Loomis, an old and re- spected farmer living in this section, is spreading broadcast the good news that Dodd's Kidney Pills are a sure cure for the Lanie Back and Kidney Disease so conmion among old people. Mr. Loomi.s says: "I am 7(3 years of ago and smart and active as a boy and I give Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit for it. "Before I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills I was so used up I could hardly ride in a buggy and I could not do any work of my kind. Everybody thouglit I would not live long. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonderfid remedy." The Kidneys of the young may be wrong but the Kidneys of the old m,u.9t bo wrong. Dodd's Kidney Pills make all wrong Kidneys right. That is why they are the old folks' great- est friend. Mi.ss I'a.ssay â€" "Yes, and \v«hen ho propo.sed, I tried hard not to let jhim read any encouragement m my Ifaco, but ho did."

He is fond of read- ing exciting, sensational novels, is a good shot with rille an<l pistol, pla.vs the piano, and constantly has concerts, plays, and cinematograph performances to while away his lone- ly and unhappy hou,rs. Sir John Jackson, who was not successful in winning the scat at Devonport, England, has probably l5uilt more docks than any other contractor in the world. He is (ifty- i two, and a Yorksliireman; began his ' engineering career in the 'I'^neside shops, and undertook his first con- tract at the early age of twenty- four. This was at Newcastle, and "Ah!

The t!rand Trunk E.xhibit ^, (Jlasgow. lie was then twent.v-dve, and the work took three years.
