A Candi“ tt tho World's rm. me every circus that comes round. the St. Inuit Fair “is the biggest show - arch.” For once I beleive the new ”ion is' correct. It, occupies 1.240 acne of ground space and cost 50,01),- coo dollars. They could have easily out dmn the land grant and thereby have saved their patrons a mall fnrtnne in soleoleather. But what is the use in kicking ? The whole object of the promoters seems to have been to collect the biggest of everY' thing going, and they certainly have “acceded. Even in the matter of .nnncial loss, I believe. that all the other fairs will be eclipsed. goods. making shoes, kc. Mill girls from England and Scotland are there buy at their work and paying no at- falticn to the passing throng. Our exhibit in the Mines and Metalâ€" lurgy building is a credit to our count- ry and to our representatives at the fair. Near to our display of mineral wealth, will be seen the imposing statue of “ Vulcan, ” a casting 56 feet high and weighing 10),“)0 lhs., from Birmingham, Ala. Among many. other interesting things there is a Doloradagold mine, in minature, which ‘0" the working of one of these in- In the Manufactures buildinga great deal of information can be had regard- ing the prosess of weaving of different To a casual observer the exhibits in the Machinery and Electricity build- ings do not differ materially from what can be seen any day in a big modern power-house. The 5.1!!) h. p. Allis- Chalmers-Bullock engine and generat- or comes in for its share of openmouth- ed wonder. as also do the other big Inits. while the quiet running little Curtis Steam Turbine. occupying tbout one-tenth the spare and doing nearly as much work as the biggest of them. hardly gets more than a glam-e from 99 per cent of the visitors. Some people stop a moment to read the figures on the little \\'estillgh(‘>llse- Parson Steam Turbine set. These figures tell how many hours ot con- tinuous run this machine has made. and 1.680 was the least number I read, This set is more powerful than one o the big engines in the National Port- land Cement Cos. plant. and those who were there and made emnparisons of this sort can see the finish of the re- ciprociating engine. In the Electricity building there is shown a model of the largest gener- ator ever built 10.00" h. p. It is one of five that are being constructed for one of the Canadian Niagara power companies. Also there is a display of dynaxnos. lamps. etc.. of the first de- signs broughtout hy Edison. Perhaps the most interesting feature in that department is the telephone switch- boards of the Bell and also of the Kin? loch Co's. They show the boards in full working order “ hello girls " and all. These are the same sweet-voiced angels who annoy you so in your at- tempts at long distance conversation. flop a minute and watch them, swear d them if you wish. They wont hear you. they are. too busy listning to the conversation on the line. There are the several exhibits of automatic tele- filones. and other things to numerous to mention, but all of them worth a look. Most everyone wants to know what a trip will cost, and this is a hard question to answer. When the writer| was there. beef had taken its Santos, i owing to the strike. and everything ‘ obe was proportionately high. so he did not get any good 251:, meals. as one Durham visitor did. The only decent: heel-steak we struck. on the grounds, was in the Morocco villiage. They charged 65 cts. for the steak alone and it was about the. site of a dollar-bill‘ perhaps a little thfi‘ker, but what was of it was good. Unetrial ofa“50c. full: dinner” was quite sufficient. Thei meat had a striking resemblance to; some that the papers would term " left- 1 overs.” Honestly you might as well try to digest some of the editorials in} the Toronto Globe. as the beef offered at many of the pavilions. It was at one of these places of refreshment that, on expressing surprise at the many respectable looking women drinking beer. a native asked what they would drink in Canada, “ tea, coffee, water, etc.” Those things are had for a person ” he replied. And he was’nt a German either. However these little incidents have nothing to do with the query “what will it cost? ” The guide book says fifty dollars for a ten days trip. But they forget a whole lot of little incidentals, that mount up very last. The board and lodging question is a small item of your total expense, but even i! you have to spend a good sized roll, it is a good invest- ment. Combining as it does, educa- tional and amusement features that we may never have a chance to see min- It is impossible to devote much time to any of the various displays of mach- inery. from all uver the world. as there is so much to be seen and the ordinary iair-goer wants toat least get a glimpse of the whole show. Englishman, among them being a. model of an Old Country house. a. model of King Edwards yacht, pro- ducts of English potteries, Irish lice? etc. Germany leads, in attractions, in this building, although we are well up, as are also France, Japan, and Denmark. An especially worthy at- traction in the way of sculpture work, from Italy, and which was crowded out of this department is to be seen in the Palace of Manufactum. The Liberal Arts building contains much to interest those interested in musical instruments, optical goods, photos, photo engraving, newspaper work, and hundreds of other kindred pursuits. Did not spend much time in there but saw and heard'the biggest organ that was ever built, which is up in Festival Hall, at the head of the Cascades. The latter is one of the grand sights of the Exposition. At night when they throw on the lights. the effect is simply immense. Red, green and clear lights are used se- parately at intervals. The water is pumped by three Worthington pumps which have a combined capacity of llllJJUO gals. per minute, and each of them requiresa2,000 h. p. motor to drive. it. These are located under the Cascades and are not easily found, even if they are the biggest that ever happened. If in doubt ever as to where to spend a few hours profitably, a visit to the Palace of Fine Arts is always in order, for it is possible to go through that five acres of the best collection of paintings and sculpture work that has ever been made, many times without seeing enough. This palace is open at nights. In the Canadian Pavilion there are a number of pictures showing the evolu- tion of a north-western farmer, also some nice obliging gentlemen 'who take a delight in telling you the facts about our favored land. Was just getting acquainted with an elderly ‘ man there from Manitoba, who knows some friends of mine out there, and who also had the honor to be born in Ontario, when a big fat lady from Port Elgin butted in, and I never did get a chance to finish the conversation. To the east of our pavilion is a smaller building showing samples of what we have. in the way of forest wealth. In the Forestry and Game building, we are also well advertised. The G. T. R. has a fine lot of pictures of sporting scenes and resorts in Ontario, and the lntercolonial has spared no eXpense to make the Maratime Provinces appear to be a regular paradise. British Co- lumbia gets in some big digs about the {value of the timber and fisheries out p there, but in a big tree, California has us beat, for they have the same old tree there that has been at every other fair, including the Centennial. The Peterboro Canoe is in evidence in this Forestry building and comes in for considerable attention. An outside view is all that the ma- jority take of the different state build- ings, and of most of the foreign efforts in the architectural line, as there are very few exhibits in them, these being scattered through the Palaces. In the British building, a model of the Orang- ery in the Kensington Gardens, there are relics in the shape of furniture, arms, c., of the times of Qneen Bess and Queen Anne. Two London hobbies are there to keep relic hunters from getting gay. The Jubilee pres- ents of our late Majesty are on view in the Administration building. About one-tenth part of the presents she re- ceived are there. The only one from Canada is from Toronto. I would not have. noticed it only for the represen- tation of the City Hall, which stands out very prominently. The U. S. govt. have contributed liberally to the educational features by showing, in their building, the practi- cal working of various departments and industries. A number of ladies from the govt. testing department are there showing the procef of testing butter, farther on there is a gang at work making and loading cartridges, a mail car is shown with clerks distri- buting letters and papers same as in‘ every day business. Ms is the mail posted on the grounds. They haveal- The Agricultural building covers the most ground of any one department in the fair-22 acresâ€"and is the most monotonous. Some of the exhibits are tastily arranged. but there is so much the sameness of the products that a walk through is about all that most. of us give it. One redeeming feature is that the Minnesota people give away good bread and butter and a glass of milk. The many figures moulded out of butter looked good to me. Quite a number of the states had these. One (Dakota. Ithink it was.) had the only Teddy Roosevelt in rough rider outfit for its model. Our agri- cultural display is in keeping with all the other exhibits we have in the varâ€" ious buildings. The one disappoint- ment I had was in our fruit. It did not look‘to me. a fair sample of what we raise. Probably there has been so much praise given in the papers to this exhibit that we expected some- thing away over the ordinary. The cattle had not arrived when we were there, but the horse show was on, which was one of the features of the week. (Solomon. in the Shoe and Leather J onrnal.) MULISHNESS . It is the “ornery” cur that snaps at every dog that passes. It is the little narrow fellow who is everlast- ingly dragging his coat tails along the ground for someone to tramp on. Quarrelsomeness is an indication of a lack of mental balance. The hand that is ready to fly out at every fancied insult is on the opposite end of an animal whose instincts are on a par with the rough coated fellow who lets fly his heels as soon as anything displeases him. “ Every fool will be quarreling.” Ifyou are one of those everlasting disturbers of the peace who find material for the fire of dis. sention wherever you may be. read your character in the words of the wise man. It takes a big man to look at things in a large way. " Blessed are the peacemakers ” for if the species were to die out the wolfishness of human nature would be more than a match for divine grace. Guard yourself against quar- relsomeness as against rabies. Be staid, kindly, dignified and peaceable. People will respect you and your in- fluence will bring blessing to others and prosperity to yourself. Let quar- relsome fools have their way. You will do them the most injury by leaving them alone. Poverty is the greatest inheritance that can fall to a young man. The youth with money behind him fails of ambition sufficient to make a hit in life. ”An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning but the end thereof shall not be blessed.” A young man ol promise had a snug sum left him some time ago. He quit college and started on a tour of the world. He lost all taste for serious pursuits and gave himself up to en- joying life. Inside of a couple of years he had run his course to a fin- ish. and met a tragic end by the ac- cidental discharge of a gun. His light which gave promise of unusual brilliancy went out in obscurity. His inheritance was a veritable curse as it is in nine cases out of ten. We need an incentive to effort to secure the most out of life. and when this is taken away we fall far short of the mark. When a man makes money by dint of thoughtful planning and hard work he knows how to put it to use. Wealth that cometh by vanity shall be diminished. Down in Jamaica a preacher who had great difficulty in getting his colored flock to be “diligent in busi. ness ” as well as " fervent in spirit ” had a card printed with the words “six days shalt thou labor.” Being asked why he had thus abbrievated the fourth commandment he said there was no difficulty in getting his parishioners to observe the Sabbath ; his trouble was to get them to work the other six days. There are plenty of pe0ple who snap up the Saviour’s words ” take no thought for the mor- row ” and make it the golden rule of their lives in a sense that can never be read into the Sermon on the Mount. “The Lord will provide” says the lazy shuffling hypocrite who lets his wife scrub the bones through her skin while he makes a blufi at looking for work. Next to laziness comes improvidence. There are people whose pockets are like sievesâ€"as fast as the money goes in it slips out. They are always hard up. They have to renew a part of every note that comes due. and even to do this they have to date the cheque several days ahead. They are always behind with their payments, and " slow pay ” is the character given them by their creditors. There are other men who even With small means or a moderate business seem always to be prepared when an obligation turns up or an opportunity for an investment oco cure. The difierence lies in principle rather than in method. In some cases the methods of the improvi- dent man are superior in telling force to his careful neighbor. but all the former’s enterprise and skill avail him nothing in making financial head- way. Improvidence is a kind of foolishness that the rod of adversity does not seem to get out of a man’s hide. Beware of improvidence. “ Spend as you go ” brings most men to the poor house. Life is more or less of a “ wheel of fortune,” and the man must provide in prosperity for the day of adversity. ” There is precious treasure and oil ip the dwelling of the wise. but the foolish man swalloweth it up. ” Be not anxious for the morrow. but always see before you go to bed that there is at least porridge or potatoes for breakfast. Money that comes out of the want and woe of others brings a curse. Bather live on "shiny” all your life than touch the dainty morsels that dishonesty, oppression or traffic in the souls of others brings. “Do you see that party.” said a friend the other day when a man of forty went through the Arcade. “he was once doi'nga nice grocery business and putting away a little money. He went into the whiskey business to make more and now look at him." FOLLY OF IMPROVIDENCE. BLOOD MONEY . EASY MONEY. Make up your mind and then go ahead. Take aim and then pull the trigger. When you get your sight on a proposition don’t wobble your gun all over the tree and let her go. Those fiickle people that are always just on the eve of doing something would make a porcupine weary wait- ing for them to go 03. Itis the man of action that accomplishes some- thing. He that hesitates will find nine times out of ten that someone has slipped down into the pool ahead of him. Give changeable people plenty of sea room or they will run a hole in your hull. One of the greatest nuisances is the fellow who is on some new tack every morning. To-day he is following some inspired plan that to-morrow will be thrown aside for something that takes his fancy better. He is with you on any question you discuss. but as soon as opponent Opens his guns on him he runs up the white flag and goes over. I would rather have a downright pro- nounced enemy than one of those quasi friends who says "yes.” “yes” to everything you say and run into a hole when the time come for them to stand by their Opinions. A minister had one of these fellows to marry the other week and it took him three days to get him properly hitched to the woman. When the time came for a straight answer to all the im- portant question as to whether he would take the lady for better or for worse he said “ I guess so. ” No persuading could get him to be more definite so the ceremony was aban- doned till the next day. He toed the mark next afternoon, after consulta- tion with his friends, but balked at the same spot when the time came. Again the the preacher’s fee was jeopardized. He devoted the even- ing to showing the uncertain bride- groom the error of his way atfi tack- led the job again next morning. This time a sufficiently definite reSponse was secured to make a contract. The follow said he wanted to marry the woman all right but he was afraid of perjuring himself by promis- ing too much. There are others. An Irishman applied to the skipper of a. an English sailing vessel in Liverpool for a. berth as a. foremasc hand. “ I do,.” said the coptoin. “Well.” soid Paddy. “ye didn’t ox him for o ohoroctor; now he’s gone on with your bucket. " HHave you ever been to sea be- fore?” says the skipper. “I have,” says Paddy. “Ye’re an Irishman?” says the captain. °‘ I am. ” says Paddy. “Have ye got yer certificate ?” says the captain. °‘ De ye remember,” says he. " the time ye engaged me '2” “' I do. ” said the captain. “ Do ye mind ye wouldn’t take me without a character ?” “Ido.”' “ And do ye mind the Englishman ye gave a job to the same time ye did Poo: Paddy was astounded. but away he went and got a written character. He returned on board and was engaged by the Captain. While he was there another man came on board for a job. “ What are ye ?” says the captain. " An Englishman.” says the man. “ Alright. Go forward,” says the The vessel put out to sea. The third day. while engaged in swahbing the deck. the Englishman had got hold of a bucket. and while attempt- ing to fill it with water, overbalanced and was drowned. Paddy saw it, and away he went to the skipper. me 9" “I have not, ” says Paddy. “ but. I have saved aboard ten Cunard and Allan Liners.” "Well.
