LOHS EXPOSITION or the <>|H*ning of a can of peaches. Those days were the happy events he hail with pleasure looked track upon in the more recent years of his monotonous life. They had been the cream of his exis tence. "Guess about the first thing 1’11 do,” sail! he, "will lx? to get a good square meal, the best that money can buy."

At the World’s Fair recently the gentlemen in charge of the Canadian exhibit gave us the formu las which have been used in preparing the very attractive exhibit of that coun try. The exhibits in jars from Canada, it mav lie said, have perhaps better color than any of the jars shown from other states. It seems that the Canadians have been making a special study of this mat- Chdnqe of (toners. ter, and the results attained are very satisfactory. Several different solutions are used, as follows: On Saturday the final payment of Formalin solution—Distilled water (or ¿3000 was made to A. H.
