The Indiana World's Fair building seems to meet a much-felt want. Its builders buuded better than they knew, for it is probable when it was first projected that no one realized the immense distances and extent of the fair, the great fatigue accompanying its examination and the necessity there would lie for resting places. We imagine that many a Hoosier after a long tour through the exhibits woald rather see a plain Windsor chair in his State building than the Venus de Medici. If tod wish French Lick water, remember that it is on sale at Lindley's Sons drug store. They have it in bottles, and will sell by the single bottle or by the case.
