HUNGARY’S MILLENNIUM. lonie Facts About the Exposition Now -Being Held In Budapest. One thousand years ago, after long and painful wanderings, the Hungarians established themselves as a distinct European nation, and it is to commemorate the great event of 896 in the national life that the present exhibition is being held. The exposition, which, it is estimated, has cost, in round figures, about 4,‘300,000 florins, comprises two principal sections—one devoted to historical documents and relics, either original or re-, produced, and the; other devoted to modern arts and sciences as they are found ipday in Hungary. In this latter section a special display will bo made of everything relating to education, nioderq Hungarian literature and science, hygiene, commerce, finances, agriculture, forestry, mining, machinery, shipping, architecture, woodwork, pottery, glass, textile industries, printing, working in gold and silver, chemical products, food, ethnography and the military' service. There is in the exposition a great variety of buildings, and almost all of them are well worth seeing. To the foreigner they will be especially attractive, since they will tell him more in one day about Hungarian life and customs than he could learn by months of traveling or years of study. Hungary and, above all, Hungarian village life, are full of interest, and nowhere in the exposition will the scholar as well as the dilettante find quite as much pleasure as he will in these quaint and curious buildings. The principal idea of the exhibition is to show the history of Hungary for the past 1,000 years. There is no other European country which has gone through more vicissitudes and changes than the land of Magyars in that long period, so that the survey can hardly fail to be interesting to all nations. In the grounds are buildings of every style represented in Hungary and Transylvania, being copies of castles, palaces, cathedrals, mansions and peasant dwellings,- each of them of full dimensions, with the original decorations. They

furnish an architectural study m the styles of the different centuries, especially the last five, such as no other exhibition up .to the present time has ever afforded. Among these structures may be mentioned the exac.t reproduction of tlie castle of Vaida Hunyad in Transylvania, erected in the fourteenth century, which vies with the palace of the time of Maria Theresa and with the Abbey of St. .Tank, the oldest Romanesque church in Hungary. The historical building is filled with art treasures, not only in gold and other metals, but in glass, wood ami stone, from the chief churches, monasteries and palaces of Hungary, and tuns presents a unique opportunity for studying the influence of eastern upon Christian. art.—New York Herald. RUINED BY A STRIKE. The Flight of a Laboring Man Who at One Tin. a Had a Salary of SB,OOO a Year. The story of Richard Reese (oi Reeves), the counterfeiter who was arrested near Los Angeles recently, is a tragic example of the mutability of human affairs. Reese has seen but two years less than half a century of life. H..s training was that of a mechanic-. He is not a man skillful with hands alone, but one who works with both hands and brain. When U. S. Grant was running for president years ago, there was a big political celebration in Chicago. Grant was there, and Reese rode in his carriage as a representative of the laboring classes, proclaimed by his fellows the most skillful mechanic in all America. As the years went by the man’s reputation grew„and increased. At last He obtained a place in one of the great shops at Homestead, Pa. Eventually he rose to be foreman, with a salary of $.8,000 a year. Then came the great Homestead strikes, which brought ruin and death to so matiy men. Reese was infected with the labor doctrine then prevailing. When the struggle was over, Reese was a ruined man. His place was lost and a reputation established as a man who could not bo relied on in a strike. ~» • Reese came to. California. He came to Los Angeles some months ago, expecting to obtain a position as foreman of the rolling mill. There was some

mten, amt m consequence Rees a obtained only a subordinate position. He was not content with this. There was a dispute, and Reese’s connection with the mill ended. Reese got very poor indeed, and poverty drove him t» crime. He put Iris skill as a mechanic to the evil use of making bogus money. He~ declares he has been engaged in the nefarious business but a few months, meaning to save enough money to buy a little home for himself and to get another start. That accomplish! 1, he had vowed to live an honest life again.—Los Angeles Times. GREAT QUESTION SOLVED. How to Diffuse Happiness Among the Ma. : i_ses In England. The great social problem of the age - now to diffuse happiness among thC masses—has been solved in England. On Tbursdav the whole island was delirious with joy. “The vast crowds, with hats and sticks in air, invaded the course and turned with one smiling, happy, radiant face toward the royal box and delivered such vol leys of cheers as never before and probably never again will be heard.” Similar scenes were repeated at all the theaters, at the Stock Exchange, at the military tournament, in parliament, and wherever else a crowd was gathered. Thus we learn the gratifying truth that no revolutionary schemes of social reform are needed to make the British masses happy. All that is necessary is to let the Prince of V ales win a horse race.-—New York Journal. Christiania. The chief street of Christiania is the broad Karl Johans Gade, which leadt up from the eastern station to the palace. Here on opposite sides are twe buildings of importance, where young men flock to study and old men meet to legislate. The proximity of politics and learning recalls she conception of Stein, who hoped that the presence, of a grea’ university in Berlin would have a good effect- on the government. The chief Prussian and Norwegian temples of the thoughtful goddess were founded wi&in a few years of each other. Both have displayed a readiness to welcome new ideas and furthered the cause, of freedom in countless fields of thought. The life and' movement of the city are practically confined to this street and the harbor. There the dramatist Ibsen is in the habit of walking every day, and his countrymen are said to regulate •tlieirwvatchcs' liyhis appeanmee. It-was my fortune to lunch in a restaurant at a table not far from where he sat, but his face did not specially attract me. Those who feel more sympathy with his works and relish his portraits of exceptions would be fascinated by his grim and crabbed features, unrelieved by any frank Or genial smile, for of such are the world’s reformers. Inclosed in a shed on the gFassy ground behind the university buildings are twe Viking ships, which date froip the middle mges. No relies of the past arc more essentially poetic than those which mark the triumphs of man iff his awful struggle with things. According to all account's; fife lot of Norwegian fishermen’; and peasants is I etill peculiarly hard, for nature is a cruel step'mothcr,: and life become^al-most-tragic, for them by excess of work. ■ —Westuriiigtet

DAREDEVIL CREEDE. HOW HE, SINGLE HANDED, SIX OF A PARTY OF SEVEN SIOUX. When He. Discovered the Inrliaim He Carefully Calculated Ju.t How He Would Dispose of Them, and Hie Programme Whh Carried Out to the Letter. From boyhood days Lieutenant Creede had b on noted as a hunter, and during the years which he spent in the scouting service his splendid marksmanship and extraordinary achievements in the pursuit of game earned for him the reputation of being the best hunter west of tlie Missouri river. Owe day at sunset Lieutenant Creede rode out from Ogulalla, where the scouts were stationed, guarding the builders of -the Union Pacific railway. Creede was, ami is yet, for that matter, a famous rifle shot, quick, cool and sure, and upon tins occasion his skill Came in good play, as it did in later years when he fought two grizzlies single handed in the presence of two witnesses. It w w customary for some one to take a look about at the close of day to see if any -r.iv Sioux were prowling around. About six miles from camp Creede came to e luihpc* trees covering a half dozen act - • ! -round. Through thia, grove th ' lit rode, thinking perhaps an elk or <1 ■ r might be seen; but nothing w-r'ii .-.hooting was sighted, till sud d-mly L ■ found himself at the farther e<._ ■ 1 the wood andon the banks of tl. ■ Platte. Looking across the -a ream, h-- ■ a small band of hostile .Sioux ridnu in the direction of the ri\er, and not ri..<re ' r.a,;i a mile away. His fieldgl.i-- s showed him that there were s< y« n I'f.tfii; Sioux, and without the aid of that instrument he could-see that th v had a majority of six over his party. They were riding slowly in the d:r-etinn of the camp. Creede concluded that they intended to cross over, kill the guards and ‘capture the government horse.-. His first thought was to ride backotr camp, keeping the clump of trees between him and the Indians, and arrange a reception lor the Sioux. The river was half a mile wide and three.f'- t d-ep. HorsOscan’t travel very' rapidly in three feet of water. In a -Ik.; t time they had reached the water's edge, and the could hardly resist the temptation to await their approach, dash out, take a shot at them and then return to cajnp. That was dangerous, he thought, for if he'got one there would still be half a dozen bullets to dodge. A better plan would be to leave his horse in the grove, crawl out to the bank, lie concealed in the grass until the enemy was within GO yards of him, then stand up and work his winchester. The first shot would surprise them. They would look at their falling friend; the second would show them where he was, and the third shot would leave but four Indians. By the time they swung their rifles up another would, have passed to the happy land, and one man ois shore, with his rifle working, was as good as three frightened Indians in the river. w Thus reasoned the scout and he crept to the shore, of the stream. He had no time to lose, as the Indian ponies had finished drinking and were already on the move.

As the sound of the sinking feet of the horses grew louder the hunter was obliged to own a feeling of regret. If he could have got back to Ijisown horse without their seeing him, lie thought it would be as well to return to camp and receive the visitors therp._ Just once he lifted his head above the grass, and then he saw how useless it would be to attempt to flee, for the Indians were but a little more than 100 yards away. Realizing that he was in for it, he made up his mind to remain in the grass until the Sioux were so near that it would be impossible to miss them. Nearer and nearer sounded the plunkety plunk of the unshod feet of the little horses in the shallow stream till at last they seemed to be in short rifle range, and the trained huntei. sprang to his feet. He had reckoned well, for the Indians were not over 60 yards away, riding tandem. Creede’s rifle echoed in the little grove; the load leaped out, and the head Indian pitched forward into the river. The riderless horse stopped short. The rifle cracked again, and the second red man-rolled .slowly from the saddle, so slowly that he barely got out of the way in time to permit the next brave, who was almost directly behind him, to get killed wh’etfi it was his turn. The re maining four Indians, instead of return r ing the fire, «at still and stonelike. Sc terrified were they that they never raised a hand. Two more seconds; two more shots from the rifle of the scout, and two more Indians went down, head first, into the stream. Panic stricken, the other two dropped into the river and began to swim down the stream with all their might. They kept an eye on the scout, and at the flash of his gun they ducked their heads, and the ball bounded away over the still wafer. Soon they were beyond the reach of the rifle. Returning to their own side of the niver, they crept away in the twilight, and the ever-sad and thoughtful scout stood by the -sileut- 4ttnw, watching,.the little red pools of bkxid on the broad bosom vs the slowly running iqxer. Throe of the abandoned bronchos turned back. Four crossed over and were taken to camp. The two sad and lonely Sioux had gone but a short distance from the river when one of them fell fainting and soon bled to death. He had been wounded by a bullet which had passed through one of his companions who was killed in the stream. The remaining Indian was afterward capt ured in battle, and he-told this story to his captors, just as it was told to thmwriter by the man'who risked ’his life so 'fearlessly in the service of ' Vn. b- m,m.—Cy Wannan nr Neri Ybrk Sun.; ■ \ - ''' . / ; FOR 41ENT—House .suitable for smalNmnily.

A friend who hailed recently from "Cairo told me this tale, as an illustration of the dilatory ways-of Arabian tradespeople: “A certain gentleman ordered a Swing to bo erected in his garden for the use of his little boy, aged 6. He waited and waili d. but the swing never arrived. In due course of lime that boy grew up to man's estate, and became himself the la:her of a little boy. “ When his son ..was C.. years old, he remembered how I.is own father had ordered a swing to lie made for him. So he called on th' 1 , tradesman, who lived at his gate, and asked him to send up the swing that liad been ordered 20 years before. The man agreed to do so. “The little boy, becoming impatient his father called again, tint! ri monstrated with tlie Arabian as io Lis dilatoriness.

Onions are almost, the best nervine known, says The Housekeeper. No medicine is so useful in cases of nervous prostration, and there is nothing else that will so quickly relieve and tone a wornout system. Onions are useful in all cases of coughs, colds and influenza, in consumption, insomnia, hydrophobia, scurvy, gravel and kindred liver complaints. Eaten every other day they soon have a clearing and whitening effect on the complexion.
