St. Louis, Jan. 7. Many curious suggestions for features at the ap proaching world'B fair nro belug re ceived by the exposition officials. Oc casionally some of these are accept ed, but by far the- majority of them are "turned down." Miss liello Harvey of Bowers Mills, Mo., one of a family of four, all of whoso members have a curious birth mark, offers to exhibit tho family at tho fair. 'We nre three sisters and a baby 2 years," she writes. "All of us hnvo black hair with a large lock of pure white hair beginning Just above our forehead and running back a ways. The flesh under tins iunr is pure white and runs down on our forehcadB beyond tho hair. It never tans or sunburns like tho rest of our flesh. Tho white spot is so large and forms such a contrast to the dark part of our hair that it makes a very remarkable sight. We are tho won der of all who seo us. It Is a family Inheritance. Our ages are 23, 21, 19 and 2 years." Mrs. Laura Proctor, of Auxvasse, .Mo., writes to the "Hecretary ot the Hello Department" that she wIhIr-s to sell or exhibit at the exposition the "watch key" of General Jackson. Clinton Cox, of Voungstown, O.. wishes to show at the fair n nix-legged steer. "The animal," he says, 'weighs 1,300 pounds at two and a half years, of age. The freak legs are 22 inches long, 2 inches thick and grow from the top of the shoulder's of tho animal." John H. Cayo, of Hoxlo. Ark., tends drawings of an airship which he de clares will "travel forward at great er speed thau an express train." He wishes to Interest capital in the air ship so that it may be constructed In time for tho competitions at '.he fair. Tho machine, according to the drawings, has a gos reservoir, be neath which Is suspended a platform for the machinery. This consists i.f an engine, of no specified character, which drives a fan by means of a belt, the fan producing a current of air which strikes the profiler of the airship. "This," says the writer, "gives ample power for forward pro pulsion Tho original ship will havo ono of these' propellers at every 12 feet on each bulwark throughout Its length. In this way I can get all tho power I want," IDAHO'S BUNGALOW. Most Unique Building to Be Erected at St. Louis Fair. Somewhat different from the other state buildings Is the structure that Idaho Is erecting at the world's fair. It is unique, handwime, comfortable and attractive, says n llolse paper. It is an original design, and stnnds on the hill overlooking the agricul ture and horticulture palaces. It has for neighbors the California and Illi nois state buildings. Tho building is BO feet square and one story high. It Is designed along the lines of a bungalow, with clean cut, plain outlines. The exteriar walls are cream-colored staff, und the roof of red Spanish tiling. The nr rangement of the interior is that of a Spanish hacienda, the ten rooms being arranged on the four sides cf an own court or patio. In the cen ter of the court will he n beautiful fountain, surrounded by inviting flow er gardens. The building will be an exhibit showing tho richness of Idaho's for ests, for all tho rooms will be finish ed In tho natural wood, and each room will possess a different (InUh. It will be a state club house, where each visitor to the world'n fair from that state may be sure of finding n hearty welcome and an Ideal resting place. Idaho In presenting her resources at tho world's fair will concentrate her exhibits in the departments cf agriculture, horticulture and mines and metallurgy. Executive Commis sioner Hunt has scoured the state and ho promises to have n show that will bo a revelation. In the mines department Idaho will exhibit thu largost and richest nugget ever mined. This was taken in August, 1903, from the Coeur il'Aleno mines, and weighs ten tons. It contains 30 per cent pure silver and 60 per cent lead. If placed rn tho market the great nugget would bring for Its metal value alone many thousand dollars.

The Musical (inanition. The (lunniltcs arc a musical people. The well to do own plunoa und are fair musicians. Others luivc organs, and many, many more possess accordions. They enjoy singing nnd are fond of American popular songs. Their own songs arc rather weird nnd mournful, though always harmonious. At night the voices rise in sharp, nasal tones, singing the "novena," u term applied to nine days of special worship to bouiu particular saint. Novcnns are ever In evidence, for no sooner do they finish with one than It Is time for another to begin: consequently ''neighborhood sings" are frequent. The accordions nro pleasing to the natives at their dances and fandangos or weddings. These latter ulwnys oc cur Thursday mornings at -1 o'clock Tbe names are cried in tho church three times before the wedding. Wed ncsilay evenlug there Is a social gath crlug of the families and friends of the bride nnd bridegroom, with dancing and refreshments, (iuests accompany the happy pair to tho church, where the priest unites them.

The wedding ring is the subject of .lualnt historical facts and endless su perstitions. It was probably chosen as the symbol of marriage more for con venience than anything else. It is sup posed to be a symbol of unbroken love nnd of power nnd to curry special cura tive virtues with IL The old good luck I saying about It is, "As your wedding I ring wears your cares will wear ! away." The ancients, Pliny among the rest, believed that a delicate nerve ' ran directly from the "ring linger" to j the heart and thut the ring placed on that linger was very closely connected with the heart. In early Christian marriages the bridegroom put the ring first on the bride's thumb, then on the llrst linger, then on the second und lust of all on tbe third, saying as he did, "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy (I host." The thumb and tlrst two Augers represented the trinity, the next linger was the one the ring was left on, to show that, next to God, a woman's duty was to her husband. Ladles' Home Journal.

A certain author, having explained the nature of his occupation to an old .Manx woman, was hardly prepared for the comment, "Well, well, what does it matter so long as a body makes his llvhl honestly?" the words being evi dently meant to put hhu on better terms with himself, lint worse still fared tin English clergyman, for some time vicar of a .Manx parish and from Ignorance of the people nnd their ways not a very popular one. Having received preferment elsewhere, he started on n round ot farewell visits, but without bearing u single regret. At last one old woman told him she was "mortal sorry." In his delight the vicar let curiosity outrun discretion, and he asked for her reason. "Well," said she, with touching candor, "we've had a lot o' pasVns over here from England, nnd each one lias been worse than the last, and after you're gone I'm nfeared they'll bo seu'in' us the devil himself."

Largest Factory In the World Locat. ed at Elgin, Illinois. 1 The Elgin factory is tho largest In the world. .Tho dolly output Is 2,010 watches and 102 different kinds are manufactured, Tho watches go to every part of the world and are sold oven In (leiiuvn, Switzerland, Tho different parts of a watch .ire manufactured in different depart ments by different people, who have devoted their lives to that particular kind of work and havo been trained to n delicacy and exactness which Is most Important In watch-making than in any other mechanical indus try. These parts are then assembled ns they are needed In another depart ment, where they are put together ty experts, who handle them as easily and almost ns unconsciously as a great pianist will strike the keys if his piano. Tho completed watch is tested and timed, and then, straniro to say, is put into a rotrlgnrator with thu temperature below freezing point anil kept there for a number of days to cool off. After it has been frozen the watch Is taken to a furnace, where it is al lowed to Ho for several days more in a temperature of 06 degrees. This particular discipline Is intended to teach tho watch that it must not mind changes of weather, and that the steel and other metals or which it Is made must not allow themselves to contract or expand ny cold or by heat. You can learn a good deal in a watch factory. From an article by William E, Curtis in Chlcogo Rec-ord-IIcraid.
