quite unrivalled for their Individual

None of us will readily forget the

And now we have the Franco-British

in many ways on account of the fact

If any one will take the trouble to go

formed some of the objects of Interest
in 1851, they can verify the extraordi

There are still a few relics which

glass case of stuffed animals dressed as
Human oemgs, a ook orwwii a urn
tlst extracting teeth, a rabbit ft! a red
hood led away by a cunning fox, a rab
bit clad as an old woman, and so on
and so on.
It Is enough to bring tears to one's
eyes to remember that the sides of those
who gasea on this glass case snoog wun
laughter at what was then considered
a most extraordinary Joke.

Perhaps the greatest contrast of all
to be found In the exhibition Is in the
machinery hall. It would be quite use
less for an amateur to attempt to de
scribe the marvels which are there ex-
hlbited, marvels only too wen known
to the Americana, who are largely au
thors of these wonders.
There Is an old man who still lives
at the Crystal Palace, who was a young
mechanic in tne days or me great ex
hibition of 1861. and who will still tell
vou that tne reaping macnine was al
most the greatest wonder of that show.
Two Osntlamsn.
He says that he can recollect very
well two gentlemen who came to see
this novel Invention. One of them was
an American and one an Englishman.
'well, you see, said the American,
"our young men are teaching your
young men a rew wrinkles: ana tne
Englishman laughed. As they walked

and learned that one was Mr. Dickens
and the other Mr. Horace Greeley.

change Is to be found In those great
glass showcases which exhibit feminine
fashions. I do not mean that the poke

Education has of course done some
thing, but that Intangible thing which
we call civilisation has done more, and
taste In all directions has caused life to
become far more Intricate and compli
cated. Whether this Is an advantage, or
not, I cannot say. but from the artistic
point of view undoubtedly we have
gained Immeasurably.
Indeed It la almost difficult seriously
to believe, as we look down the great
aisle of the glass building, that this
ever could have been considered the
glory of a nation, and yet it was so on
the day when Quern Victoria In the f.jli
blase or a mia-oay sun openra it wiin
the Prince Consort, dressed In a pink
silk. gown, cut low on the shoulders, tn
full evening dress. The simplicity of It
all bring a smlieyo our races today,
and almost a lump In our throata.
Then f can vaguely remember the first
great French exhibition where the In
troduction of native villages and houses
was first msde, and where trf little
Japanese ladlea In their red hut were
the wonoer ana aamimiion i nni.
But even there the externals of tha
