are;special "features at St. Louis-are, for
^tance,: matters of "the period since the
Chicago event. To my mind, however, the
one. "distinctive feature which places it
ahead of all other world's fairs is the com
prehensive Philippine exhibit. Ahead also
of any previous showing are the individual
buildings of eight of the foreign nations
and, taking everything into consideration,
the architectural and landscape gardening
achievements are greater-as they ought to

? * ?
One of the greatest, and certainly one of
the most agreeable, of my many surprisea
WSB the supreme beauty of the main group
of buildings. For the simple reason that
the camera does not exist which could
take in-the vast picture as the eye sees it,
the early views of the group-a" bit here
and a bit there-gave a scant idea -of the
scheme as a whole. Nor did the early
views of the ten individual buildings which
make up its component parts do justice to
their nobility of architecture and general
grandeur. Then again in the ground plans
and. bird's-eye sketches-the only possible
manner of showing it-tho fan-shaped ar
rangement of this group looked stiff and
unsatisfying. Far from that it is quite as
remarkable in its way as thc famous Court
of "Honor of the Columbian Exposition. In
one respect it is even more notable, for in
stead of two grand vistas it offers a dozen.
The main vista is, of course, the one look
ing up the Plaza of St. Louis - whose
GOLDEN CHAINS.
II. Max Regis Wore Golden Handcuffs
FOP Years.
It. will be remembered, says thc
Westminster Gazette, that some years
ago M. Max Regis was presented by o
group of 'lady admirers with a pair ol
golden handcuffs, in cominemoratior
of. his arrest and imprisonment in th(
great cause of Nationalism. The An
fi-Semite swore that he would weai
the manacles as souvenir bracelets fo:
the remainder of his life. For somi
time he kept his promise, and then i
was observed that he had abandone*
his decorative fetters. Why? Was i
Infidelity to the cause, or what? Pee
ple\wondered, and could get no satis
factory answer, until a few days ag
there was a public sale of unredeeme
pledges.from the Mont de Piete. Th
golden handcuffs (weighing forty-fiv
grammes) were included in the catii
logue, M. Regis having deposited thei
with "ma' tante" to relieve a tempe
rairy indigence, and having neglecte
to recover them. To complete th
Irony of the situation, they were pui
chased by a Hebrew, who no\v weat
them in the streets of Algiers and c:
Mbits them to all his friends.
Dr. Hale an IX.O.
Dr. Edward Everette Hale is now a
LL. D. of Williams College, fro
which his father graduated just 1(
years ago. The doctor read an extra
from his parent's graduating addres

Rows of fine, large maples set off the
buildings in the maia vista, adding im
measurably to the beauty of the.picture
and furnishing one of the many demonstra
tions of the superiority of this exposition
in the matter of landscape gardening.
There are also many trees to set off the
other buildings of the group, shrubbery
and small trees have been used in profu
sion around the entrances and the bridges
and there are handsome sunken gardens in
two places. The landscape treatment of
Cascade Hill is similarly fine.

The Philippine section covers no less
than forty-seven acres, has 100 buildings

represents an outlay of over a million dol

to advantage. Entrance to the section is
free, but twenty-five cents is charged-to go
into each of. the four native villages, which
are intensely interesting. The villages run
along- Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi
tants all have some way of ? itertaining
their visitors. The Igorottes, v. ho wear as
little .clothing as the law of even savage

Moros and Bogobos in another; the black
Negritos in the third and the civilized Vis

ONE HUNDRED FOR AN EGG.
Au Indian Gnuie Fowl That is -Very
Val wilde?
Not often does the price of a single
egg climb to $100, but this is what was
offered for each of the eggs of a cer
tain Indian game hen, which was
brought to England some time ago.
For centuries the Indiau game, ot
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game breed, for the pureness of
blood and pedigree have been mosl
carefully preserved for so long thal
the date of the origin of the race hai
been lost in the past.
' It is almost impossible to procure
specimens of the purest blood, for thej
are treasured by the Indian sportsniai
at the highest value.
As gnuie fowl they are great fight
ers. Those who have seen them in In
dia -for the finest birds never read
our coldef climates-tell of their prow
ess and ungovernable tenacity in bat
tie. With them it is always victor;
or death.
In America, however, the game fowl
are seldom raised for fighting pin
poses, lut for show, and as pets am
hobbies of poultry fanciers.-Countr,

THE SILENCE OF BUTTERFLIES.
This Insect Refr?nent? a Truly Silent
World.
After all, the chief charm of this race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
-varied and brilliant beauty, not yet in
their wonderful series of transforma
tions, in their long and sordid caterpil
lar life, their long slumber in the
chrysalis, or the very brief period
which comprises their beauty, their
love making, their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty of sight or not, and do not even
know the precise use of their most
conspicuous organ in maturity,' the an
tennae. ,Nor does lt consist in this
that they of all created things have
furnished man with the symbol of his
own Immortality. It rather lies in the
fact that, with all their varied life and
I activity, they represent un absolutely
silent world. * *' * All the vast ar

STO?SSEL SAYS If WAS I0,'(

Official Report of the Fighting ai
Port Arthur From July 26th to July
28th Received at St. Petersburg. '
St. Petersburg, .By Cable.-An offi
cial report from Lieutenant General
Stoessel, coiuman?'ing the military
forces at Port Arthur, saya that the
I Japanese were repulsed with tremen
dous loss in a three days' fight from
July 26th to July 28th. General Kuro
patkin reports from Liao Yang some
small Russian successes in outpost
fighting up to August 8, without the ex
pected great battle having .been open
ed. The simultaneous receipt of favor
able news from these commanders in
the far East raised the spirits of those
In the Russian capital immensely. The
dispatches were printed in special
newspaper bulletins and were eagerly
bought up on the streets. The newsboys
around the depots met the returning
crowds of Sunday pleasureseekers and
shouted their wares without being re
proved by tbe police, and thousands of
St. Petersburgers went to their homes
apparently satisfied that a favorable
turn of affairs had commenced at the
front.
General Stoessel'? report, though ten
days old, is taker* as a satisfactory ref
utation of the recently repeated rumors
of the fall of Port Arthur. He states
that the determined Japanese assaults
were repulsed with tremendous loss,
and figures 10,000 as the number of
Japanese killed or wounded. This is
admittedly on Chinese information,
which heretofore has proved to be of
rxceedingly doubtful value.
But with Russian losses of 1,500 as
i basis, the authorities here consider
.hat 10,000 is a fairly conservative est?
llate, since the Japanese were beaten
>ff in what must- have been a desperate
iss?lt on tremendously strong fortifl
:ations. The fact that the Japanese
vere not able to remove their dead
iud wounded is taken to prove that
heir defeat must have been one of
;reat severity.
The part played by the fleet bears

?ress that Rear Admiral Withoft is

nrrison. It is considered significant

Gen. Stoessel Claims Victory.
f Petersburg, By Cable.-Licuten
n General Stoessell, commanding
be Russian military forces at Port
xthur. in an undated dispatch to the
?mperor, says: "I am happy to re
ort that the troops repulsed all the
ap??ese attacks of July 26, 27 and
8 with enormous losses.
"The garrison's enthusiasm was ext
raordinary. ,
"The fleet assisted in the defense
?y bombarding the Japanese flank.
"Our losses during the three days
vere about 1,500 men and 40 officers,
tilled or wounded.
"According to statements of Chi
iese and prisoners, the Japanese lost
ii, many as 10,000.
"Their losses were so great that the
memy has not had time to remove the
lead and wounded."
Defending All Positions.
Liao Yang, By Cabl?.-The past
week has been a most dramatic and
eventful one. The Japanese intend
Lo follow up the Russians and to gain
ground east and south by an attack on
Anshanshan (midway between Hai
cheng and Yiao Yang).
It is reported that the Japanese are
advancing on the west, and exciting
rumors are current.
Though apparently beaten at every
point, and thougn the Japanese have
advanced well* on the Russian flank,
the Russians, in council of war, have
determined to defend all their posi
tions as heretofore.

noon.
Without any advance announcement
or intimation of his purpose, he came
to Albany, took part with five of the
other judges in clearing up practically
all of the cases which had been argued
before the court, and then sent a mes
senger to file his formal resignation in
the office of the Secretary of State, as
the constitution and public officers' law
"equired.
He left Esopus at 10:26 a. m., accom
panied by the newspaper men who
lave been on duty at Rosemount ever
since his nomination. Until after the
rain had left Kingston, he would not
livulge his destination. Few people in
he day coach in which he rode appear
?d to recognize him, though there were
>ne or two Ulster county acquaintances
vith whom he chatted until the train
cached Kingston. He arrived in Al
iany just after 1 o'clock, and after
uncheon went to the capitol and at
nee Joined in consultation with his
olleagues over the cases pending be
ore the court. The consultation lasted
little over one hour, and at 3:05 the
udges filed into the co^rt room and
anded down to the clerk 66 decisions
rhich practically cleared up the busi
ess before the court. The only cases
?maining are two or three in the
ands of Judges Gray and Bartlett, who
re in Europe. All of the cases in
hich Judge Parker was assisting
idge were disposed of. An interesting
lature of the session of the court was
iat the judges were without the long,
ack silk robes which they ordinarily
ear. This was owing to the fact
iat the session was unexpected and
1?re had not been time to get the
?bes, which had been packed away for
ie summer.
The judges present were: Parkt

lambers and consultation rooms, and
itroduced each one to his Associate

as occupied so long, he stopped and
?oked out of the window to the dis
int hills across the Hudson. His voice
embled perceptibly as he sa'd: "This
lom, boys, was mine."
The very slight emphasis upon the
ord "was" was the first indication he
ad given ot his intention to resign.
Returning to the consultation room,
6 took a long envelope from his
ocket, and. turning to Buell C. An

lid: "Andrews, will you do a kind

The document read:

Walter H. Page in the World's Work,
says that the industrial era has made
more men cultivated. Before the dif
fusion of well-being. The proportion
of men of culture to the whole popula
tion was very small in any country.
With the growth of industry and the
coming of physical comfort, this pro
portion has grown beyond calculation.
We are within sight of a time when
a majority of well-to-do persons will
become, to some extent,- cultivated.
It has brought physical comfort, for
the first time, to a large class of man
kind; and there is much cultivation in
sheer physical comfort. The most
pathetic chapter in human experience
is that long chapter which tells of
men's trying to thank God because
He had deprived them of ease, and
had made life hard and insanitary. It I
was equivalent to thanking God for
bad-food and dyspepsia, for bad beds
and rheumatism, for foul air and
tuberculosis. When we first got run
ning water in our Houses a great im
pulse was given to culture.
Curious Fact in Natural History.
An incident which will be interest
ing to naturalists is told in a recent
number of the Scotsman. One of the
foresters in the employ of the Mar
quis of Lothian was returning from
his work when he noticed a wild duck
flying from a larch %tree. On close
examination he observed a' common
brown owl looking down from what
appeared to be a nest in the cleft ol
the tree about thirty feet from thc
ground and apparently near the place
:from which the duck had flown. Curi
osity prompted him to climb ito the
;?lace. which he did with great diffi
culty. The owl on his approch flew
off, and to his surprise he found in
the nest two eggs-an owl's, and a
wild duck's. It is not uncommon for
both owls and ducks to Iwiild their
nests high up on trees, -out it is un
heard of for one nest to be appro
priated by both birds.-New York
Herald.
