Water Works Notice.
THE PUBLIC IS REQUESTED TO
be very careful to leave all hydrants
and other openings closed to avoid
any waste of water. We have found
many cases, where parties will
leave hydrants open, presumably to
be certain to know when the water
is turned on. This causes a great
waste which must be stopped.
Water will not be put on in the
afternoon until further notice.
Sprinkling of lawns and washing
of pavements strictly prohibited.

[Bill HOW
LONDON—The Franco-British ex |
hlbltlon is peculiarly interesting to:
those who have lived long enough tc 1
have seen the development of the ex- j
position idea.
To most of us the ugly palace at 1
Sydenham Is very familiar, and noth
ing marks the change in taste ann
development of art more clearly than 1
a trip to that which was once consid- j
ered one ot the seven wonders of the;
world.
The monster conservatory gleams j
on the hills, deplorable In its ugliness
hut strangely significant as a land
mark of the taste of the early Vic
torian era. and not of the taste only
but of the manners and customs of j
a time which now seems to us re- j
mote.
If any one will take the trouble to |
go there and hunt out the features
which formed sonic of the objects of
interest in 1851. they ran verify the
extraordlnarv change that has taken
place.
The statues of Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert which stand in the en
trance will be one of the first indlca-1
tlons, for no one would erect such es-1
ltgtos In any building today.
There are still a few relics which
have survived the years of various
objects of Interest In those days
One was deemed singularly comic j
and amusing, and consists ol a large !
glass case of stuffed animals dressed 1
as human beings, a dog dressed as a
dentist extracting teeth, s rabbit In a 1
red hood led away by a cunning fox
a rabbit clad as an old woman, and ’
so on anu so on
It Is enough to bring trnrs to one's |

Education has of course done some
thing, but the intangible thing which
we call civilization has done more
and taste in all directions lias caused’
life to become far more intricate and
complicated. Whether this is an ad
vantage or not, I cannot say, but from
the artistic point of view, undoubted
ly we have gained immeasurably.
indeed it is almost difficult serious-
I> to believe, as we look down the
great aisle of the glass building, that

! hen I can vaguely remember the
first great French exhibition whero
the introduction of native villages and
bouses was first made, and where the
little Japanese ladies in their reed
hut were the wonder and admiration
of Paris.
But even there the externals of
the exhibition were still crude and
ugly, and Indeed I do not Relieve that
the idea of creating a beautiful city
in which to hold the exhibits of the
world was ever thought of until Chi
cago opened her gates, and, cradled
on the bosom of the great lake, lay
that dream which we shall not see
again of artistic excellence and archi
tectural efficiency.
Then we had the exhibition in
Paris again, infinitely improved and
vastly more beautiful from the fact
that America had led the way, and
there were exhibits in these build
ings which were quite unrivalled for
their individual bftauty.
None of us will readily forget the
tapestry from the Escurial, with Us
exquisite entwining of gold and col
ors, the purity of its design and the
beauty of its conception.
And now we have the Franco-Brit
ish Exhibition in London, hideous in
architecture, vulgar In every detail as
regards the buildings, and yet in
teresting in many ways on account of
the fact that so much is gathered
there which is so distinctly individual
to both countries.
Probably that which is the great
est revelation internationally is the
art of England. Among the French it
has always been the fashion to say
that England has no art, and that
English pictures are not worth con
sidering; but with the frang open
mindedness which constitutes a cha
racteristic of the French, they have
admitted that they have discovered
English art.
Gainsborough, Reynolds and Con
stable are revelations to a great num
ber of French people. The louvre,
with its three thousand paintings,
where every school is represented,
has very few English pictures, and
the Luxembeurg has but three.
But the Fiench are awake to their
mistake, and art is too real and too
living a science with them for them
not to be fully willing to rectify their
ideas.
Perhaps the greatest contrast of all
to be found in the exhibition is in
the Machinery Hall. It would be
quite useless for an ameteur to at
tempt to describe the marvels which
are their exhibited, marvels only too
well known to the Americans, who
are largely authors of these wonders.
There Is an old man who still lives
at the Crystal Palace, who was a
young mechanic in the days of the
great exhibition of 1851 and who will
still fell you, that the reaping machine
was almost the greatest wonder of
that show.
He says that he can recollect very
well two gentlemen who came to see
this novel invention. On e of them
was an American and one an English
man.
"Well, you see,” said the American,
"our young men are teaching your
young men a few wrinkles!" and the
Englishman laughed. As they walked
away the man asked who they were,
and learned that -one was Mr. Dick
ens and the other Mr. Horace
Greeley.
But prohaiy the most extraordinary
change is to be found in those great
glass showcases which exhibit femin
ine fashions. I do not mean that the
poke bonnet and Paisley shawl and
crinolin e are no longer to the front,
but that what would have been con
sidered an elegant and costly dress
for a woman in those days would be
barely considered tit for a charwo
man's Sunday frock in ours.
Three thousand guinea sable cloaks,
tight clinging garments, with long
trains made entirely of ermine, Direc
folre dresses embroidered in skilled
needlework from head to foot, twelve
guinea hats loaded wilh ostrich
plumes, the lace, the jewelry, Ihe
thousand expensive et cetras which
have become necessaries, these all go
to prove that life in our time is com
plicated by a thousand extravagances
which were unheard of in the simpler
days of our forefathers.
I connot but say that I think a
great deal of she enormous expendi
ture In dress has been brought abon4
by the rich American who having
plenty of money and being as a nils
unencumbered by the rails which
great estates often entail, has been
able to put down more r«a4y money
'upon the luxurb s of life women
in other countries and th*efore th*
pare has been art going '• *»• others
are panting to emulate.
