Iteturninjf to the other exhibits of the Midway we may go across to the Parisian Eiffel tower, w hich we find U a mlaaturo model of the wlebrated to war ot" the last exhibition In Paris We find It can bo beautifully Ilium Inatod, but that the chief attraction U (; of dunces and that the whole donetrn I more or let of sell there being tut little If any thing characteristically French about It. Ia thU vicinity, however, we find the celebrated Egyptian Village and theaHttntctlve reproduction of a street of Cairo which U well worth seeing. On entering we a strwl full of Auierlinn or European -opli mlM up here ami there wilh iudi viduala drears d In Orientnl garb ol on kind and another, while here and there are camels Htalking placid ly among the crow d carrying enter prinlnir pasnentrers on their elevated backs. The Unit hi, of which then are many, contain wares chiefly ol Oriental character for xale, anil theii buiinesi cigns Indicate that theii owners are (to us) very foreign. Here comes a crowd thronging up thri narrow atreet. It Is a marriage party, or rather the Imitation of one. The attendants are numerous and rather noiny in the way of iiiunIc The camels are gorgeously arrayed, and the ''bride" is seated In a sedan chair looking conveyance but veiled, so much so In fact that some people say that a rather handsome Egyp tian boy Is frequently palmed off an a blushing bride. Presently the pro ccNiIon halts and n couple of swords men have duel in which, after a while of fencing, they do a tremen dous amount of clanging of steel tn a most expert and rapid manner. We need follow the procession no longer. Here Is an Egyptian dance hall where solitary performers are sup posed to be keeping time to the mu sic more by the movements of the arms bands (which hold little bells) and by the contraction and relaxa tion of the muscles of the body than by their feet. We are told that the f irl w ho danced for the head of John he liaptist performed In a similar mann" ,l''fri Herod. WelL we w(i W1- remarks on llefxra , eiirimeti taa jieillier a Farther alonjr Is a very Interest injs and instructive model of the fumoub temple of Luxor In which we find fuc-si milieu of the munnnittl bodice of the Pharochs no like that wo can almost believe the mummies of the old tyrants are before us. Some re. Ilglous singing and dancing are here too one dance being that performed at the rising of the sun and Is very lmpresrlve. A couple or more for tune tellers liave their oftlces near the temple ami seem to be retailing the mysteries of the future or olnerv- lng the palms of the dupes who pay the ncceary fee for their curiosity. The weather the day we are there Is very cold and it is almost pitiful to see the bookkeepers almost freezing ovr-r tlieir wares. Outside, we find ourselves passing the gigantic Ferris w heel, so stately in Its revolutions, and entering the village of tho American Indians where characteristic dances are going on. One fine looking young chief Is really a most attractive fellow. On conversing witn him after the per formance we learn that he Is the head of the Tottawatomle people, lie is gorgeously painted and feath ered, but is a very intelligent and jolly young fellow. lie sayi that two nights ago he put on lots of style oh his attending the dance of nations at which every onlooker had to pay M. Next on the same side of the Mid way ia the Chines theater, where they are making a most discordant noise. We enter and find things In tensely Chinese the dresses of the performers being very flashy and re minding us very much of colored pictures of these eople. Slelght-of-hand performing is a prominent part of the entertainment. See ' that young Juggler making signs that he will make a glass of colored liquid pans from under one hat to another. Twice he fails. He replaces the hat and goes down on his knees and imitates praying. Now he Jumps up and lifts the hats ami lo! the glass I found under the desired hat. Near the theater Is a Chinese temple w here you see Joss and a lot of flue wax figures appropriately attired. We get In the restaurent a cup of very excellent tea infuaed In tbe cups from which we drink It. Next Is an ostrich farm which you can enter If you Uke. This and an exhibit of real St. Bernard dogs is worth seeing. Beyond is the veritable hut of that famous Sioux Indian Sitting Bull. We enter and find it full of Indian relics and Inhabited by two cowboy looking whites and two dignified looking Indians. The latter are Black Dog and Raln-ln-the-Face who n starred General (ister. One of the whltea explains all about the killing of Sitting Bull and his boy Crowfoot, showing us the spot of the latter'a death; and then gives the of the two Indiana prant, v- clal!y that of Italn-ln-the-Face, who sits as If he was totally Indiller ent to everything that was being iild about him. He has plaited some sweet gnus and we buy It from him as a relic, also we purcha.! a photo of him and get him to w rite his name ncroi the back of it w hich he does in a e hool-boy hand rather slowly and with evidently more ef fort than he would scalp an enemy. Nearly opposite Is the Duhorueyan Village w hich we enter and see the habits of Its .eople. They are just niggers, but mure degraded than any we have evor seen. One fellow- struts about clad In a very short straw petticoat, some course kind of a shirt and a hat made of bark orna- meuted with shells. He is evidently a dude by his actions. On walking along tho huts we see the cooking, crunching of corn between stones, etc all very urimltive. Here. too. we And some of the men engaged in smith work, etc. The young fellow as he replaces his Iron In the fire amuses tliu onlixikciis by saying: "Chicago inati lieer," ami with a sweep 01 his left hand he indicates how rorpurent the stomach of the Chicago man is. This he frequently rejieats as It evidently pleaxes him to see the people enjoy his Joke. We are not very much charmed with the dancing which Is very monotonous when It Is not wild characteristic enough of the people we suppose, Altogether on. leaving this village we are grateful that our lines have fallen in more pleasant places than theirs and It might have been (lif erent. Next to these Is the Lapland Vil lage consisting of a man and two women and some three reindeer nnow snoeM, sieigning, etc., are shown. Nearer the Cottage Orove gate is the Bedouin encampment. Here are Arab horsemen on beauti ful steeds which they know well how- handle. The throwing of peles from one to another as they dart past is a favorite item in their program. pear throwing, and sham flghiiiig, too, aro cleverly exhibit !. Retracing our steps toward the fiir proper we come to the Esquimaux village, which is a really very good exhibit Indi.vd, as it show the huts ana their heulnKln ciud iirlialntunts domestically engaged. On a lagoon some of the male population are out boating where but one double-bladed paddle Is us-d alternately from one sido of the canoe to the o.'her. A young prince is driving about In great style with a pair of reindeer harnessed to a light cart in w hich he sits like n young lord,- There are four Esquimaux men using whips at some object In the ground. We edge ourselves among tho crowd and get near enough In time to see one of them go ami lift a small coin which his w hip cord had released from the ground. Again a coin Is thrown to them and we see one of them set it on edge in the soft earth and 'stump upon it w ith his heel until It is out of sight. They now resume whip ping one after another. The spot Is dug out at stroke after stroke of their long lashed whips. There, now, you see the little coin, and presto! One of them has got It. We throw a nickel five-cent piece, and it soon Is also buried and dug up by the curl ing points of the dexterously applied whips. We are now at the state buildings, and the first one we come to is that of California. But we shall stop, at least for the present. S. T. LlXKLATKR. WORLD'S FAIR JCBT.

On the analy sis and recommend of Dr. Wiley, chief United States government chemist at Washington, the greatest living authority on food products, the world's fair Jury today gave the highest award to Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder for strength, purity and excellence. This conclusively settles the question of superiority. Dr. Wiley rejected the alum powder, stating to the world's fair Jury that he considered them unwholesome. Hold Roys.

Bruce, wilh tin help h Horded by our government, belongs the distinction of starting the first, rcindtn. station of Arctic Alaska a lit tin over a year ago. A few years previous to thU Dr. Jack son aud N. W. Anthony demonstrat ed the fact that reindeer cc'tM l" doniestieatLsJ in uortheru Ala-ku Thcset wo gentlemen whobrought six teen of these animals over from Si beria, having proved their theory cor rect, with the help of others Impor tuned congress for an appropriation to carry on this giod work. Under the direction of Mr. Bruc.t ftJ.i'O) were expendisl in purcliitsitig a herd of reindeer iu Sils-ria and traniortlng them to Alaska. Hen they thrived well on the native nuxvt and In msed about fifty er cent. But a herd of a few hundred Is in mi (tic lent to meet the wants of the fifteen or twenty thousand people that must depend aliuont entirely on this' useful Mulmul for clothes and food; and further generosity 011 the part of our government should pro vide the means for the. transportation ami purchase of nioro reindeer. These people of the Arctic regions do not want blankets, clothing pans and kettles of us. Oive them plenty of reindeer that they may have the meat for food and the skins to keep them warm. This, only, Is their mnte appeal to us. Men tn the pursuit of wealth have robbed these people of their natural means of sulwlstence. The whale has been driven still further back by whaling vessels, and the Esquimaux must go five or six hundred miles for a mere chance to obtain whale meat. The walrus, too, has been either niarly exterminaled or driven away. This animal is of little commercial value to whalers, but Is ot great use to the oor Esquimaux. The ivory obtained from the ttisks forms their implements, provides their only method of H'tcariiig game in fact, constitutes tlieir all. This ivorv is not only valuable to them, but the skin of the walrus and even the in testines aie deftly utilized. These people have not been pro- bvted as' they i hIiouU' rtgninet tlit. ravages of human sharks. Our gov ernment cannot let these people suf fer the pang-'of hunger. It has come to their rescue in the past In a limited way, and we hoe it will now bountifully bestow a legacy upon them. At tho first entrance of the revenue cutter, the Bear, Into these Arctic waters the Esquimaux wi re found In famishing condition and were sub sisting entirely on their dumb menus, me iogs. mo licar gave them hard tack and flour bought by private collection among the offi cers. 1 inly one wtiale was cauelit last year on that coast. In former years whalebone was tho principal commodity. On an average a whale contains from 1200 to 2000 pounds of bone, selling for about six dollars per pound. The w hales wero formerly a source of considerable wealth but are now of the past. Last winter for five months or more these EVquimaux lived solely on fish only five or six inches long. These were their only means of sub sistence except their dogs. To ob tain the fish a hole was drilled or! punched, by means of tho ivory wal rus tusk fastened to a stick, through ice from four to five feet in thickness. Then tho wholo family, Including the tiny toddlers, laid Hat on the ice around this hole and apeiired the tiny fish. It required the united effort of all to gain one meagre meal a day. And at that time, Mr. Bruce says, the newly-purchased reindeer "were grazing, fat and sleek, around them," yet none of these was mo lested, "nor was even a cracker tak en trom tno commissary Mores or the government officials. This cer tainly Is sufficient proof of native honesty. A bli.zard Mged Inces santly all last February, but tho fish ing was continued the same. The Esquimaux, esecially tlns-e Yakilats, are wiity, kind, alfi-tinnate and industrious. They ar. far supe rior to our Iml ans in lu'e liouis-. They are rea'ly prepo so-ing in ap pearance and capable o.' civilization If t the churches turn their attest on northward, ami tran-fer tic ir mission funds to establishing schools 011 a good solid basis In Artie Alaska. Mr. Bruce and his a'sistnnt re-idi-d alone among these Yakilats for more than a year and in perfect safety. There Is no menace to life among these bn'thren of ours, as they are re markable peaceable. The lalairs of Dr. Jackaon, Mr. Anthony and others are retarded for w-aut of funds. We sincerely hope, even though times are hard, that congress will see fit to appropriate at the next ae.jon a goodly sum for the purchase of many more reindeer for these worthy pen- j pie of Artie Alaka. It Is Jtif, It is .humane, It Is christian charity, that we aid one family of children of our great republic as well as another. . Belle Cauthorn, In Kate Field' I Wash In gin. Tho magultlclent canvass made by Uovernor McKiuley, w Ith the grand results of 82 years of protection on the one side and the gloomy ttf.cts of H months of threatened free trade 0!i the other, l.at ended In a victory for American Industry, Amtrican labor and tho American home. How could It be otherwise? Never In the ii'oni,iuic history of our nation have the wisdom of j rotcUlon and tl folly of free tmdo Un so clearly brought bfon the people. Never has the change from Industrial pros perity ami contentment to Industrial ruin and discontent followed so im nrcdlately upon n change of govern luent and pn-sumpti ve change in tin tisn policy of the nation.

New York Prists. Atrrlcutlaral Iguwranre. Does not every dollar's worth ol im-Hirts. kept out by a protective policy, kis-p in a dollar's worth ol import grain that would otlicrwU leap to go out? This Is one of those profound con undrums that the secretary of agri culture tried lo solve at the congresf of agriculture recently held In Chi cago. We do not Ivelteve that any schoolboy would ask such a question. Tire protective tariff has nothing whatever to do with the exports ol the country. The quantity of grain that w ill "leap to go out" de-iends entirely upon the crops in other countries as well as our own In fact upon the question of supply and con sequent demand. The pro'ectlve tariff, Mr. Morton, is to keep out from this couutry things that arc- grown or manufactured in other countries, and which we, otir-clves. are ahle to crow or manufacture. We presume that Mr. Morton Is no awaro that during tho period o: greatest protection this country ha ever had, our exports of wheat wen larger thau ever kr.own in the bin-! rt,tj n,c N,u'jtr the nu!t behiy. that di" imports were phenomenally .1 smaller than our exports, hence oui exceeding prosperity under protec tion.

The specific duties on cutlery are abolishes! and an nd valorem duty substituted. Block tin and copper oro are on the free list, and there Is a uniform ad valorem duty ujion finished manufactures of wool, but loge are free. The committee lelieve a reduction of front 60 to 100 percent. In silk duthsj will yield as much revenue as now. Woolen goods will follow tho rates in the Springer bill, but some goods, es ecially cloth, will be put In a separate class at 30 per cent. This includes hosiery manufactures. Flax, In nip and Jute will be greatly reilucisl in view of placing the raw material on the free list. Binding I wine is likely to be made free. The high duties on agricultural products wiil be mercilessly slaughtered. The duty will be retained on lemons and oranges, but several other fruits will go tisin thj" free list. The wrappe r tobacco duty will be reduced to tl or tl.ol when untemmed, and 60 cents iii'if' a pound when stemmed.
