typical home of the hardy lumbermen and fisher folk The Nor wegian pavilion- is very striking with its pine wood balconies and deep gables and sharply pointed little spires The little nations including Sweden- and Bosnia have sur prisingly magnificent pavilions but perhaps the most imposing in the whole collection of national pavilions are those of Spain and Belgium which are lofty and spacious and amazingly rich and beautiful in design the one is suggestive of a palace in other is the replica of a stately town hall in the Flemish stvle r m Overshadowed by Belgiums proud building

Stewarts death in he was the greatest dry goods merchant in America In addi tion to his wholesale and retail es tablishments in New York he had a wholesale branch in Chicago arid bu reaus in Philadelphia Boston and other cities His wealth was estimated at During his lifetime A Stewart was one of the shrewdest advertisers in America and the name of his firm was a household word the country Thru his wifes relationship with Mrs A Stewart exJudge Henry Hilton was brought into social and professional relations with the greatest merchant and before the death it was generally un derstood that Mr Stewart took no important step without consulting Hil ton By his will Mr Stewart made Hilton Ilia executor with a specific legacy of to pay for his services The business of A Stew art was transferred to Judge Hilton in lieu of the legacy From the hour Judge Hilton took charge of it the business began to decline a time it ran along on its old prestige but the old spirit that had built it up was dead It ceased to lead because under Judge Hiltons management It ceased to advertise Hilton was a shrewd legal and commercial adviser and hard worker but no ad vertiser He thought the reputation of the house of A Stewart would continue to be its own advertisement- But there was where he was mistaken There were rivals in the field were quick to see the opening left when Judge Hilton changed the firm name to K J Denning Co and then to Hilton Hughes Co They used printers to blot out the strong impress made by A Stew art on the mercantile world Hilton did nothing to counteract the advertis ing of his rivals until they crowded from the markets and in the firm went to the wall with liabilities amounting to and no avail able assets To this pass had the at tempt to do business without constant and shrewd advertising reduced the greatest dry goods concern known in the United States twenty years ago A Stewart knew His business and Henry Hilton knew his business But the business of Stewart was dry goods and that of Hilton was law The one demands publicity the other can be transacted beat in a back In keeping the A Stewart bargains in silks and out of print Hilton

an invaluable section those one could not help feeling bitter appointment that there were so very few Visitors in this section to pay any attention to those exhibits which the j worlds manufacturers have been at such trouble and expense to bring here It was depressing to look along vast lines of exhibits and see only straggling groups of visitors The crowd increased we passed among exhibits of iron and steel ware such as tools builders iron mongery pens cutlery blinds shut- ten and summer houses made of steel The next section was of a more popu lar character textile fabrics clothing also

Wat Gulps As a rule it is much better to sip water than to swallow a glassful at one draught Tlie exception to this rule is in morning when one should drink a glassful or two of mod erately cold water in order to flush the stomach while it is tubular At other times however sipping the wa ter is much more stimulating in Its effect on the circulation During action of sipping tlie nerve action which slows the beating of the heart is temporarily abolished and in con sequence the heart contracts much more quickly and the circulation in various parts of the body is increased Another advantage in sipping is the fact that the pressure under which the bile is secreted is considerably raised It has been stated on good authority that a glass of cold water slowly sipped will produce a greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at a draught Sipping cold wa ter will in fact often allay the crav ing for alcoholic drinks a point worth remembering by those who are en deavoring to reform The Club The Nontreating Club may not have great success as an organization but its object is commendable just the same The trailing habit Is a more effective agency for the promotion of Intemperance than roost persons rea lize Moreover the habit is foolish and contrary to canons of good taste There is no reason why a person should feel under obligation to drink with another from considerations of supposed courtesy when not in need of refreshment than there is for partak ing of a meal when one does not want Time was when the rules of hospitality required overeating from guests at the banquet table Happily that barbarian usage is outgrown It will be better for tho world when the habit of treating and of drinking with friends simply to drink Is

ture the two fused together and pro duced what is known as car bide Nothing further of note was accomplished with this new substance until when Moissan invented an- furnace and found that by placing carbon and lime directly in lhe electric arc an high tem perature was available at compara tively little expense and the calcium carbide property of generating a new gas very rapidly when brought into contact with wa ter did not pursue his much he proper and economical construct of electric furnace was then very known As usual in such cases the invention of was perfected in Thomas Wilson of St Catharines Out was a poor boy assisting his mother in the management of a board ing house When years old he crossed to the United States where his talent was soon recognized and soon afterward he built a very large electric furnace for the purpose of ex perimenting in the production of al loys of different metals While doing so he found that the spattering of molten metal in the furnace frequent ly produced a conducting path be tween the carbons of his lamp so much so as to seriously interfere with and sometimes extinguish the arc To overcome this he placed in the furnace ft mixture of coke and lime which combined under the great heat and produced beautiful clear calcium car bide at a comparatively low cost fcapitaL was at once invested in Mr Wilsons discovery and it was not long before companies were organized in every state to control the Wilson patents but it was only a short time when it was discovered that acetylene gas under certain circumstances of a highly explosive nature Con trary to the advice of Mr Wilson many of the companies undertook to place the gas upon the market in a liquid form In order to do this it was compressed it became liquid almost in the some manner as liquid air is produced found how ever that during compression tbe ex plosive qualities of the gas increased rapidly until when in a liquid state it was extremely dangerous In us ing the gas in this astrous explosions occurred and i the public quickly denounced the gas but further experiments soon proved thai If the pure gas were used without be ing compressed there was only one way of causing an explosion was by exploding in the gas tank a small quantity of fulminade of mer cury or some other violent It was also found quite possible burn the electric arc within a tank of pure gas with perfect safety Calcium carbide was first sold at a very high price on account of the fact that it required the use of about flvo hundred horse power for twentyfour hours to produce a single ton but there now works at Niagara Falls where great quantities are turned out daily by the use of the inexpensive water power there- The use of the carbide however has become so gen eral that these works will soon ne doubled and even then it is expected that it will be almost impossible to supply the rapidly growing demand In order to light home it is only necessary to re place the old burners with the new style disconnect the house pipes from the meter and connect them to a small gas generator This generator is very much like an ordinary gas holder and consists of a tank of wa ter in which is inverted another tanx the gas as it is being generated Ming led into the holder between the water and the Inverted tank so that the tank will rise as the gas is generated until a sufficient amount is admitted to fill the holder The rising the tank then automatically cuts off the supply of water from the carbide and thus prevents the gas from generating until such time as more is needed when the lank will descend so it opens a valve which allows water to again come In contact with the carbide and again generate gas is the for crump colic a liniment Avoid mi one 9
