The active participation of the kin"-
dam of Holland at the world's fair la
now an assured fact. Hon. Walker
Fearn, chlof of the department of for
elgn affairs, has received a letter from
Hon, Samuel Thayer on the subject
from the legation of the United States at
The Hague, in which the authorities of
the Columbian exposition are informed
that a royal order appeared In the of
fleial Gazette, of June 23,
the appointment of the following com
mission as representative of the Nether
lands government at the Columbian ex
position: M. Meos, B. Heldring, G. M.
Roissevain, Mr. Svan Citters, G. IIirk
hoff, Jr. These are all men of prom¬
inence and actively interested in the
success of the exposition. An early
meeting of the commissioners will be
held at the United States legation.
The Netherlands government has do
dined for years all invitations of the
character from other nations, even
from such near neighbors as France and
Belgium, and only through the in
fluence of persistent pressure was Hoi
land finally brought to concede an ex
hibition to the Columbian world’s fair,
Through the cooperation of an or
gamzatlon composed of a number of in
fiuential people In Amsterdam and
other parts of the kingdom a consider
able sum of money has been raised to be
used In the.construction of a special
building at tho fair, to bo built in
various styles of architecture, aneient.
and modern. The exhibit to bemado
at the Holland headquarters will bo
characteristically Dutch, and It Is tho
intention to illustrate the life and Rur
roundings of the Dutch people. It is
intended, if possible, to create a canal
running through the center of the space
allotted, with ample scope for exhibits
on either aide, and In connection there
with a Dutch dairy showing their
process of butter and oheesemaking,
togetber with rare specimens of Dutch
cattle, ate. The Holland commission
(will make application for the necessary
space to make this exhibit, and It is
quite likely that the consul of the
Netherlands government at Chicago
and one other commissioher may be
.Ion delegated to act for the royal ^ome commis

committee will be in tho Netherlands.
Nearly all the leading industries in tho
kingdom of Holland have already
pledged their active cooperation in the
development and maintenance of an

Tasks at the Fair.
Thoec who have been charged with
the preparation of the Turkish exhibit
are making very extensive preparations
to have It of superior merit and interest
They will charter a large ship to trans
port the exhibit. They will bring over
four hundred native Turks arrayed in
their national costumes. They will re
produce at Chicago a street in Constan
tinople with all its peculiar crooked
ness and narrowness and its interest
ing will bazars and restaurants. The bazars
be filled with salable articles of
Turkish manufacture. The expedition
to Chicago will start from Constantino
pin and wiU call at all Turkish ports
for reinforcements and articles to be
placed on exhibition. Adrianapolis
and Philoppolis have canght the fever
and will do quite as much as the capital
to make the Turkish exhibit a success,
The exhibit will include a reproduction
in miniature of the mosque of St-So
phla. This has never been reproduced
in any Christian country, and for its
reproduction at Chicago special permis
tion of the sultan had to be obtained.

LIFE IS NO SINECURE.
It May Ho for Some Folks, But Not for
the English Journeyman*
The English journeyman has an unat¬

Thwaites in an article on “Village Life
in Old England” in the New England
Magazine. Starting out to his work,
perhaps miles away, at six o’clock in
the summer morning, with a heavy

PAST BELIEF.
Thought Queen Victoria Must Lin lu the
Cxnr'H Domnina.
I alwnys stayed at the house of one
3tavosta, a very old man, whose wife
was still active and lively at seventy
years of ago, says Herbert Ikirry in the
book on Russia. Sho used to interest
herself vastly in the conversation that
passed between me and her husband.
This man, a forester, was a remarka¬
ble character. By intelligent industry
aTM perseverance he had raised himself
from tho station of a common serf to
the management of woods greater in
extent than many a German principal¬
ity. hod given his
He son a liberal educa¬
tion, and was a man of inquiring dispo¬
sition, anxious to get information on all
sorts of subjects. Our long discussions
of tilings in general, and the world's re¬
cent history in particular, were highly
amusing, if n little perplexing, to the
old lady who sat and__ listened to them.
One morning I was^sitting before the
stove, talking with the forester about
the British constitution, and happened
to mention our gracious queen. At that
moment the old lady broke into the
coversation.
“You will excuse me," she said, “that
I do not speak English. 1 hear you al¬
wnys talking about your Queen Victoria.
Now, I want to know what does sho do
for our emperor, because, of course,
she lives at St. Petersburg?”
“At St. Petersburg?” I said. “No,
she lives in her own country—my coun¬
try—England.”
"What part of Russia is England?”
“England Is not in Russia at all. It
la another country by itself.”
But I could not convince her of that.
She had never heard of any other coun¬
try that was not Russia, and nothing
would make her believe in Its existence.
She could not get ovor it for a long
time, and continually repeated to her
husband: “Only fancy tho barrin try¬
ing to tell me there is another country
beside Russia!”

A wonderful piece of moohanlsm, con

Unlike American children, they have
no “school readers,” hut as soon asthey
are able t« read they are put at once
Into tho classics of their own literature,
so that before they have reached years
of maturity they are familiar with

TEA ROOT CARVING.
Curious Industry Furnishing Em¬
ployment to Many Celestials.
Odd Ftgnres Fashioned from the Plant
Which Furnishes Oar Kvenlng Bever¬
age—How the Material Is Ob¬
tained and Prepared.
For more than a hundred generations
there has been a guild of artists in this
populous province of Fo-kicn whose life
work Is tho conversion of tho gnarled
and Interlaced roots of the tea tree into
tilings of beauty, that is, beauty from a
celestial point of view, says a writer in
the Collector. The herb whose leaves
gladden western palates ln the form of
Oolong, Ilyson and Souchong, is ahardy
plant and takes a firm hold on mother
earth. Its roots seem to have no regu¬
lar law of growth. Sometimes they de¬
velop very much as a beard sprouts
from the chin; at others thoy separate
and move along parallel lines as if they
were a lignose ccntipedo. In general ft
may be said that they make one large,
clumsy mass from which shoot out any¬
where from three to thirty rootlets.
Their surface is never smooth, but al¬
ways irregularly corrugated. The value
of a root depends upon Its size, its out¬
line, its freedom from decay and its
suggestiveness of some everyday object.
It Is rare that a main root or root mass
is more than six inches in diameter.
Such belong to trees ranging ln age
from thirty years to a century. Infre¬
quently they attain to twelve and fif¬
teen inches, and are then said by Chi¬
nese experts to be four hundred or five
hundred years old.
The roots are dug from tho soil and
allowed to thoroughly dry in the open
air under a shed or else in a moderately
warm room. The loose earth Is careful¬
ly removed, as is the loose bark and all
pieces decayed, cracked or worraeaten.
The artist then determines what is to
be done. The favorite types are drag¬
ons, buffaloes, cows, carnivores, bears,
mandarins, priests, howling dervishers,
dancers or mystic heroes. If the root
cannot be worked Into one of these
shapes it is converted into a pedestal or
platform for a figure piece. The primary
operation consist ln sawing It into
rough shape. This is done with a fine
cross-cut, and the clean edges removed
by nibbing them on tiles or bricks.
Sometimes a root is bent by softening
it with steam or boiling water and then
twisting it in any desired direction.
Now comes the hardest task of all.
The most valued piece is that which
shows no art and seems perfectly natur¬
al. The carver goes over the block, re¬
moving here a fiber and there a set of
roots, here thinning out one on the under
side and forcing it down, and there
burning another and expanding it at
the burned point. I have one in my
drawing-room which is a capital figure
of allragon, rearing and opening his
jaws as if to spring upon his prey.
Careful examination shows that noth¬
ing lias been added to the mass, but
that hundreds of fibers, knots and cor¬
rugations have been skillfully removed.
In nearly every instance a human
figure made in the same manner or
carved from a wood of the same color
or else made partly from tea roots and
partly from carved wood is added to the
first piece. The designs are endless in
this field. Learned men lecturing birds,
mandarins standing on dragons, boys
riding cows and other ridiculous quad¬
rupeds, dancing beggars, men fighting
each other are the commonest groups,
but of the more uncommon there are
thousands. One famous artist in Foo¬
chow claims to have produced, with the
aid of his apprentices, over fifty thou¬
sand different designs, and, judging
from Ids stock on hand, his claim seems
reasonable enough.
The tea-root carvings are seldom very
costly, running from fifty cents to one
hundred dollars, Nine-tenths bring
less than two dollars each. A hand¬
some set of a dozen can be purchased
for twenty dollars, which will decorate
• drawing-room or hall better than
bric-a-brac many times more expensive.
The figured are strong, durable ami ln
no danger of fracture by Bridget or Ah
Hin. Outside of their nSsthetic value
they are of Interest In showing the won¬
derful Ingenuity and economy ot our
Chinese cousins.

what is in them. Now the rumor has
spread that there is a run at tho second
trento et quoranto table, and half Lon¬
don seems to be grouped around. There
is her grace of X, who seems to have
the gift of perennial youth, picking up
the “plaques” and rose-cokred billets
de banque In dozens; opposite is the
beautiful Lady Le Street, who has chap
eroned a couple of young friends, and
the three are having the most phenom¬
enal good fortune. Another London
beauty lias Wandered up to this table,
and would gladly play, but she wanders
off agnin; is it that she fears to come
Into competition with the more bril¬
liant freuhness of a younger rival?
Down there, on the right of tho
croupier, steadily backing -the red, is
Mrs. Danby Wislic, who, we trust, finds
trente ot quarante in public as much
more profitable as it is undoubtedly less
compromising than baccarat in private
life. Next her is a maiden of ample
proportions, whose good luck has been
proverbial this winter. Here, posted
upon the high chair of the chef de par
tie, is the wife of a great financier,
dressed to perfection, the quiet chic of
her black and gray costume in delight¬
ful contrast to the garish and showj
Mme. de llreda, who flaunts her dia¬
monds and her raddled face close by.
Lais and Aspasia are very much en evi¬
dence everywhere, and it makes even
hardened sinners sad to see bright-eyed,
honcstrfaeed English girls rubbing el¬
bows with them, breathing the same
reciting atmosphere, madly following
the same demoralizing game.
A few nights ago a lady who wore
diamonds and a smart frock so far for¬
got herself as to slap her neighbor In
the face as the best settlement of a
warm dispute. For this both were
hailed at once from the casino, handed
over to the gendarmes and locked up for
the night in tho cellar alongside the
treasure.
There are the usual stories floating
about this most gossipy of English
haunted paradises. A lady of quality—
why conceal that it was her grace of
Montrogue?—complained to one of the
casino officials that sho was being treat¬
ed with sctlut courtesy, adding, with
dignity: “I am the duchess of Mon¬
trogue.’' “Madam, was tho reply,
“all the ladies who visit here are duch¬
esses.”
The money-snatchers and the table
squabblers, women in every case I have
seen, appear to flourish with Impunity.
Possession Is considerably more than
nine points in your favor here, and the
French woman whom I saw, by dexter
ous main force, literally claw his win¬
nings out of a quiet young English gen¬
tleman's hand, after he had taken them
up from the table, was actually allowed
to keep tlicm rather than create a
brawl.
‘ ‘This is a second time you have at¬
tempted to take my /stake!” said another
harridan to a shrinking young girl, who
looked as if she hail never gumblcd be¬
fore, and who seemed half frightened at
having won; and then followed noisy
assoverations and sulky remonstrances
from tho officials, all ending in the tri¬
umph of brazen-faced, loud-mouthed
wrong!

A PENGUIN CITY.
The Orderly Habit, ot . Spectee ot Aquatic
Birds.
During our island recent cruise, writes a
Falkland correspondent, we
went, ashore on a sequestered island to
view what the captain called a "pen¬
guin city.” Sure enough, the whole
island, comprising perhaps fifty acres,
was laid off in regular squares by
streets running at right angles, tho
lines straight and true as a surveyor
could have drawn them. As is well
known, penguins spend their lives on
the water except during tho breeding
season, when they are obliged to seek
the shore. You will hardly believe me,
but it Is nevertheless true, that tbe
birds not only lay out their city in
blocks, but pick up all the loose stones
till the whole place Is as smooth ns a
board floor. Tlieo they take possession
In couples, each pair selecting a home
site—not to build a nest, but merely to
preempt a particular spot on the bare
ground.
The lien lays one egg, and only one,
and during tho time of incubation the
male bird brings her food from the Boa
or sits on tho egg awhile himself If
she wants to go out and take a swim.
But in this case, as in miiny others,
virtue is not “its own
great reward,” because the lady pen
gains grow so fat and sleek under tho
good care of their faithful husbands
that they are more eagerly hunted at
that particular season. The old birds <
are too tough and fishy to be relished
by man or beast, but the tender young 1
matrons arc in great demand both for i
their oil and flesh. Even tho eggs have
an oily and fishy flavor, and taste as
liens' eggs might if cooked in kerosene.
The penguin is l»y no means a hand
some or graceful creature. lie has
wings like any other bird, but they are
altogether too short to fly with, though
they may assist him somewhat in
waddling over the ground. When in
