had so recently separated as and
the coveted territory . Our satisfac

soon experienced e fright which
counterbalanced the recent pleasure.
Noises on the oatside of the wall
ind cited the presence of ambitious
monks around In quest of the inso
lent intruders who ha i defiled these
sacred precincts. But after several
minutes of concealment and medita,
tion upon our gloomy fate if we had
been discovered while committing
thesp unpatdonable depredaiiocp, we
repealed the wall in circus falbion
and discovered that the supposed
fuonsler was only a freckled faced
weakly subject o( her mt-jesty, the
Queen of England. The uext morn
iog after several misunderstandings
and attempts to leave the city by
eyery exit except the correct ooc,
we fount! ourselves on the road to
Brussels; but the frequency of rain
showers wh:cb interrupted this day's
journey did not augur a ptopitious
t limate for bicj cling.
A sudden gush of rain compelled
us to set k shelter in a peasant's
cabin , but oae of the young female
iumates became frightened at our
outlandish appearance nod bol'ed
the door io our fats. II ail she been
a moment later we would have suc
ceeded in our bold at temp to force
our entrance; but her dexterity bsd
made her master of the fort atd we
calniy stood out in the drenching
rain. A compassionate oil ladv
however, soon admitted us. A
pantomime ensued because their
tongue was Flemish Dutch and this
gibberish was about as intelligible to
us as a conglomerate mixture of
Hebrew and Hottentot. While the
mother prepared the eeniDg coffee
the daughters lndustnoosly ewed
upon an odlly shaped gsrmillt
whose variegated colors indicated
that it was intended for a modern
Joieph. Tie btove comprised a
piece of sheet in.n , rcsmbling an
osdmary cook stove, which was
cemented between two stone walls
in the center of the Tire pUce.
Q i ensw -.re dicera'ed with blue
11 avers occupied raiks atove the
u-antle piece. A table aid several
old t'ulMoned i' hairs cot.ttitued the
entire furniture. Carpet, books and
pictures were conspicuously abeent,
bat Lke all the homes ia the vicinity
of the famous Mechlin lace factorie p,
the windows were shaded by th-; ti.lv
lace curta:r.s . The poverty of ibis
house would be extremely di-tabtt -ful
to Americans, bat bereft us tue
rooms were of the luxuries na ,
even Lie nccssities of American life,
the watchful care of a djvoled
mother bad male the barren tui
roundiags cheerful and atta.tivr,

That night we stayed at old Me
ohlin. 7'he inhabitants of this citv
resiar.edly bear the oppresnve joke
of their father?, sins in being char--curized
js fools by their eoun
tr men because their remote
ancestors once mis'cok the full moon
which was shining through the ca
thedral tower, for a de-truclive con
flagration. O.ireupicr, consisting
of bread , bologna and cherries, was
eaten on the step9 of this sarre old
cathedral and witnessed by twenty
two howling urchins who amused
us by fnhtiDg pitched battle", not
like the knights of old, for the pos
session of a damsels hand , but in
order to select the rightful owner
of the wormy cherries and bologna
skin which we wnould toss into the
arena. This was tue introductory
meal to a prolonged series'of trarnp
suppere, although few were given
such publicity as this one. The
nex two days were given to Bru---ells
and tb? field of Waterloo.

ted to freely dangle about the leg, a
performance which if repeated in
America would probably bring tte
trangresRor before the police author

enviable reputation for cleanliness
and prove that poverty and 11th are
Dot inseparable companions. Their
cottages are exemplary models of
cleanlines0, tidiness and perfect
order.
The frequency of rain storms reus
tiered a railroad journey from Brus

sumel bicycling at the latter city.
At coon We halted at a litth hotel
whose inmates spoke nothing but
Flemish, but a prolonged deaf and
dumb conversation procured bread,
butter, eggs and raw ham. The
bread being a dark hard, sonr foh
stante was cot exceedingly palata
ble, and raw ham was a novelty we
lid not crave. Tbe culinary de
partment was entered In disregard
of the protests of t he lanlady, and
by holding the bazn ove." the fire we
su ceeded in imparting to her the
craving desire of the abdeirninal
reaion, which was that the swine be
cooked. She reluctantly obeyed,
tbicking no doubt that -uch an op

morsel.

WORLD'S FAIR.
THE GREAT PREPARATION.
FlVF Til t !vNU I MPlOY. s
(Written for Thk Pem cr..t )
Et. 1)emock.t: Thinking poui
bly it may be of interest to fcoroe of
your readers to get direct new con
cerning the World's Fair, I attempt
& ftheit article relative to the magni
tude at this great enterprise, ao 1 tke
vast sums ot money cecessary to its
completior, & :.
Of all the busy plices on tbii e.r
any other continent, Chicago must
be tbe busied, and especially around
fair headquarters. You can heir tbe
s.eady click of the hammer and the
busy hum of machinery all day and
a great portion of the night, Sunday
not excepted. It is an enterprise of
such vast proportions that it is im
possible for one to imagine the great
amount of wrk necetsary to its
completieja anti it is useless for u.e
to attempt a description tf eyeD
what has already been done. I will
glye official figures and conclusion
may be drawn.
There have been about 5000 mm
employed daily for a year or more,
and imsgine tbe amount of work this
army of men can do. It certainly
takes heaps of money to make a
world's fair. The Chicago director
alone have epeut already $2,000,000
I saw a statement recently to the
effect that the directors will pay nut
fands at the rate of a million dollars
a month un il M i 1st, "J3 when
the fair will be formally opened.
Thus j on see t iere will he an ex
pendature of nearly $17,00,000 U r
the next year and a htlf.
It is estimated that, altogether tie
expenses of the fair will be be
tween $3',000,000 and $ PJ.000,000.
The market value of exhibits in
to-to will reach the almost incalcula
ble value of 1500,003,000.
If the lak front had been selected
as was formally anticipated, and for
which there was a gre?t fight, all the
huildiig would have been crowded
together in a f-pace of about 1,500,
000 square feet. After moving tie
fair to Jackson Park the whole
original idea was greatly enlarged,
and now there is a single building
tnat covets ao area of oyer a mil
lion square feet. When all the big
huildinzs are completed there will be
Hi scics under roof, and this dors
i:ot include any of the buildings of
sta'e or the big structures to be con
structed by foreign government?.

I never drank at all. It is mm di

Marry early There is nothing
that steadies a young fellow like
marrying a good girl and raising
latnily. By marrying yonng yotu
children grow up when they are a
pleasure to you. You feed the-

of life aud you avoid bad halrts.
If you never drink, never gamb!e
and marry early, there is no limit

pride of your fatbei's heart and the
joy of your mother's.
I elon't know if there is any hap
