By Cor. Grorer R. Davis, Dirrcror GEexERAL To studious and <pservant young people a visit to the, World‘s Faxir will be equivalent t,a liberal education. I wish it were, within the power of all parents in gur country to bring all the boys * d girls to Chicage next summer, and . gend them to college" at the exâ€" "vosition . > es c tLans. What May Be World‘s _ Were such a thing possible, I would enjoy leading children through the vast buildings and over emerald lawns that sweep down . to the banks of picturâ€" esque streams int‘erla,cing the buildings. I would take this great. concourse of attentive girls and boys where they could see, in orderly array, the best work of the greatest men and women in all the fields,â€"art, science, industry, invention,â€"everything, in fact, that contributes to the greatness and glory of a nation. _ Here they could see the actual results of patient industry and genius well employedâ€"the rich rewards of honest effort. The boy or girl too frivolous for careâ€" ful study and observation of these things might gaze at . them without gaining much information. It will be just as impossible to get a liberal eduâ€" cation at the World‘s Fair without patient research as to acquire an eduâ€" cation in seminary or college without devotion to work. No doubt some young people will colme to the exposition with no higher purpose than to be amused end enterâ€" tained ; just as some . college students, blind to the advantages offered by parents ambitious for their future, do not employ their hours in study. But a large majority of the future men and women will come, I _ think, for a good purpose, and when they goâ€" away . it will be with a wider knowledge of the influences that have made our country ereat. _ The exposition was projected to celeâ€" brate the four hundredth ‘anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Columbus, and it would fall short of its purpose if it failed to show, as in a mirror, the enlightened and progresâ€" sive condition of the country toâ€"day,. in contrast with its wild and savage state when Columbus announced the findâ€" ing of another continent. Some young woman who reads this paper is probably saying to herself, «"Director General Davis has written me a lecture, and I don‘t like it at allâ€" I wish he would tell me what particu. lar department at the exposition . will interest me most." If I were sitting in that girl‘s library as she makes the remark, I would reâ€" ply, "Not reading you: a lecture, my young friend, but simply pointing out the patl‘!{&(you to follow if you wish to get» q,\\_,iveatest possible benefit from the a&. ‘tionâ€"if you wish to come away imwer, and â€" with that fund of useful knowledge your parents had in view when they took you to the fair." You ask me what particular exhibit will interest you most ; "Where shall T go and study day after day ?" is your question. _T reply frankly that I do not know. You must first tell me what subject interests you especially. Ts it education ? Then come with me to the Liberal Arts building, the largest structure ever ‘reared. | You shall see illustrated, here every method employed, not in your own. country alone, but also in all civilized counâ€" tries in the world, for instructing the young. â€" The rural school as well as the city will be represented here, and you can catch a glimpse of college life in the‘exhibits that will be made by the ereat American universities. _ In. the section devoted to the domesâ€" tic and industrial training of girls you can see all the models and . apparatus used in teaching cookery, housework, needlework and embroidery, dressmakâ€" ing, the preparation of artificial flowers, and the painting on silk, china, etc. Also the apparatus and fittings used in elementary art instruction, diagrams and textâ€"books employed, and speciâ€" mens of art work done in schools. The higher education of academies and high schools will be illustrated by apâ€" popriate descriptions and statistics. _ In a word, you can seefin this one building. the methods of instruction used in the best regulated schools and colleges of the world. To pursue the subject into all its branches would be wearisome ; but we will not pause without particularly directing attention to one feature of this exhibitâ€"the section given to religious organizations and systems. S Tn this will be shown the origin, naâ€" ture, growth and extent of, religious systems and faiths, together with illusâ€" trations of a historical and . statistical character which will â€"aid the visitor to understand the subject. The work of missionary societies, charitable associations and most modâ€" ern methods of instructing Sundayâ€" school children. will be ~on view, and cannot fail to interest young women, on whom this work largely falls. Are you interested in art? Come with me to the galleries of fine arts, where we shall see the rarest works of ancient and modern masters. _ Figures in marble and groups in bronze, paintâ€" ings in oil and paintings in waterâ€"color tell of the achievements of men whose Seen Falp. At The minds Do yot live on a farm 4 Then in the Agricultural Buildings you shall see practical illustrations of scientific farmâ€" ing, the modern appliances used in planting, harvesting and marketing the crops, the system of drainage, the most approved methods of constructing farm buildingsâ€"everything, in fact, that relates to life on the farm. purpose. Probably many girls who live in the country have never visited a model dairy, and know little, therefore, of the recent improvements used in butterâ€" making. _ These will be pleasantly surâ€" prised when they visit the model dairy building at the fair. _ In this they will see the latest and best appliances for dairy work. A series of competitive tests between different breeds ef dairy cows has been arranged, with a view to determine the relative value of each for dairy purposâ€" es. I fancy that girls who are interâ€" ested in a herd of Jerseys, Guernseys, or other highâ€"bred cows will find this dairy building a {profitable place for study. Perhaps you are interested in botâ€" any 1 Then in the Horticultural Hall you can see nearly every species of plantâ€"growth from the equator to the poles, and the conditions under which each plant thrives. The planting of vineyards, management of orchards and small fruit nurseries, preservation . of fruits either in cans or by evaporation, the cultivation of flowers of every desâ€" cription, operation of conservatories, andâ€"what cannot fail to prove of greater interestâ€"the designing and laying out of flowerâ€"gardens, will all be shown. Now we have only reached the point where the road branches in a dozen different directions. I have only begun to tell you what awaits you in five of the great departments, and have only mentioned a few of the features in each.*? There are twelve of these exâ€" exhibit departments in all, and each will furnish opportunities for profitable study. The great fisheries industry of the country will be represented by thousâ€" ands of live fish taken from ocean, stream and lake, and kept . in illuminâ€" ated tanks where their habits can be studied. The enormous mineral resources of our own and other countries will be shown on a scale never before attemptâ€" ed.. The tremendous advances made in machinery and in science of electriâ€" city will be adequately illustrated. : In the building for transportation exhibits one may see every description of vehicle used, both at home and abroad, from the. most primitive car or sled down to the latest methods of travel. Leaving further details to a later article, this may be concluded by referâ€" ring to one other exhibit, that of the Department of Ethnology and Archsâ€" ology, which is «designed to:give an inâ€" sight into the lives of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere centuries before Columbus reached our shores, and . to trace the evolution of man from prehistoric days. Old ruins have been explored, buried cities have been excavated, mounds have been tornEFopen to obtain evidences of the mode of life of these people. The great manufacturing industries of the world will be mirrored in one of the most comprehensive displays at the exposition. A feature of the exhibit will be livâ€" ing representatives of all uncivilized tribes, from the Eskimos of the north to the Patagonian of the south. These savages will live in native tents, on the shores of a lagoon at the exposition, just as they live at home. Here they will carry on the industries in which they were. engaged before they were transplanted to the World‘s Fair. Altogether, this exhibit will be of surpassing interest to those who make the history of aboriginal man a study. 8. SNYDER, Druggist, Waterloo Peach Blootm concains nothing that can injure the skin.. It is clear as water, and leaves no trace of the application one minâ€" ute after the application. Peach Bloom differs from any known preparation, in that it cleanses the pores of the skin from injurious accumulations, imâ€" parts health to the inner as well as to the outer cuticle, dissolving and removing Pimples, Blackheads, Liver Spots and Blemâ€" ishes, and gradually brings about thattransâ€" parent state of the skin that makes a perâ€" fect complexion. Peach Bloom is in demand ahead of all cheap preparations, because it has merit, and because it produces the results we claim for it.

At What did They.Laugh, "In an art exbibitiou of London," wrote the Shab of Persia in the Journal he keeps during his last visit to Eunâ€" rope, "we were looking at a painting representing an ass. I asked : ‘What is the price of this painting ? The director of the exhibition, who was a corpulent man with white beard lookâ€" ed up the priceâ€"list and said ; ‘One hundred English pounds,‘ which are equal to 250 Persian toman. I anâ€" swered : ‘The price of a live ass is at the most five pounds ; why should this be so dear when it is only the picture of an ass ? â€" The director replied : ‘Beâ€" cause it causes no expense and neither eats hay nor oats. _ I said : ‘Although it causes no expense, it can on the other hand, neither carry burdens nor vive a man a ride.‘ We both laughed." Williams‘ Royal Crown Remedy is said to be the greatest cure on earth. Guaranâ€" teed to cure general nervous debility, theuâ€" matism, neuralgia, paralysis etc. To Keep a Boquet Fresh. "Good Housekeeping" tells of this odd but interesting way to keep a boquet fresh:â€"In a vessel of water place a plate, and on this stand a boquet of flowers, weighted at the bottom so as to stand upright. This being done, the boquet is covered with a beTl glass, the rim of which ought to fit exactly the flat part of, the plate : the bell glass should be entirely filled with water and without the least air bubble, Then raise all together, bell glass, plate and boquet, and place on a table, leaving on the plate around the base of the bell glass a little water to keep the: air from entering, The flowers in this situation will be preâ€" served in all their freshness for several weeks, and their beauty is increased dy a great number of bubbles of gas produced by, the respiration of the leaves, and which attach themselves to the leaves, looking like pearls. ‘The edge of the plate and the water it conâ€" tains should be concealed by a light bed of moss, in which are set flowers, A boquet thus arranged produces a charming effect, especially in the evening. Barkwell‘s sure corn cure «will cere any corn, wart, bunion or mole. Lhe third page of the Torontc *.2 {v Mail‘ is noted for " Want" advertismens. If you want a situation, a mechanic, a business, machinery, lodging, if you have lost or found anything, or if you want to find out where anyone is, advertise in the Toronto Daily Mail‘ and read the adâ€" vertisements on the third page of that paper. 1hs charge is two cents a word each insertion, or ten cents a word for six ingertions, . Address ‘The Mail Toronto. Lanada. In the study of society I have come to this conclusion, that the most of people want to he good, but they do not exactly know how to make it out. They make enough resolutions to lift them into angel hood. The vast majoriâ€" ty of people who fall are the victims of cireumstances ; they are captured by ambuscade. If their temptations should come out in a regiment and fight them in a fair field; they would go out in the strength and the triamph of David against Goliath. . But they do not see the giant, and they do not see the regiâ€" ment. Some of our young people have read till they are crazed of learned blackâ€" smiths who, at the forge, conquered thirty languages, and of shoemakers who, pounding soleâ€"leather, got to be philosophers, and milliners who, . while their customers were at the glass tryâ€" ing on their spring hats, wrote a volâ€" ume of firstâ€"rate poems. The fact is, no blacksmith ought to be troubled with more than five languages ; and instead of shoemakers becoming philosophers, we would like to turn our surplus philâ€" osophers into shoemakers ; and the supâ€" ply of postry is so much greater than the demand, that we wish milliners would stick to their business. . Extraâ€" ordinary examples of work and endurâ€" ance may do as much barm as good. Because Napoleon slept only three hours a night, bundreds of students bave tried the experiment ; but instead of Austerlitz and Jena, there came, of it only a sick headache and a botch of a recitation.
