New York has a plant nursery out- side the northwest corner of the ex- hibit palace. Ex- periments are made during the Exposition. This space, 50 by 100 feet,is surrounded by a rustic fence. In the center of the enclosure is a rustic pavilion in \vhich are exhibited all kinds of fores- try tools. : A beautiful Albino deer, accompanied by an ordinary buck and doe, a group of bears, nine poreupines and three badgers are part of Minnesota’s ex- hibit in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game. The mother bear is in a bee tree, while the young bears are waiting on the ground for the honey. A number of other mounted animals owned by the State Geological and Natural History society are in this col- lection. An exhibit which is attracting much attention is the one personally made by Emperor William in the German building. It consists of several massive silver pieces which were presented to the Kaiser upon his marriage in 1881, by the municipalities of his empire. Among the pieces is a large ship of highly ornate silver, weighing at least 5u pounds, four feet in length and two feet high; two groups of an alle- gorical character representing the Gods of the Rhine and the Elbe; two oe st ee ee ee ae candelabra of ornate design, each with sockets for massive goblets for use upon state oc- casions and weighing twenty pounds; and a shell tray in the shape of a fan. A number of pieces of furniture also have been loaned by the Emperor. The German building is a faithful re- production of the central portion of the royal pavilion of the Castle of seventeen lights; two Charlottenburg and has the distinc- tion of having been selected by Em- peror William as a characteristic ex- ample of German architecture. WORLD’S FAIR NEWS NOTES. A large number of the famous old box trees, trimmed to the shape of animals, birds and other queer forms, hold a place in the garden surround- ing the British building at the World’s IOWA BUILDING—OF ESPECIAL fair. The trees are valuable, as it takes from ten to twelve years to cul- tivate one. An olive tree containing 1,000 incan- descent electric lights is a part of an olive oil display in the Agricultural building. Royal Neighbor headquarters in the Temple of Fraternity are reported as the most popular in the Temple. This is a neat compliment for Neighbor Case, our affable custodian. Our members who visit the World’s fair should not fail to call at Royal Neighbor headquarters on the second floor in the Temple of Fraternity. They will receive cordial welcome and find it an ideal resting place. One hundred paintings. by Indiana artists are hung in the Indiana build- ing, at the World’s fair. The paintings are all typical of Hoosier life. A char- acter study of large dimensions by T. C. Steele, entitled “The Committee,” depicts the deliberation of three mem- bers of a country school board, who are deep in argument. Holland’s art exhibit occupies nine rooms and two ante-rooms in the Art Palace at the World’s fair. the famous paintings shown are Israle’s “The Scribe,” William Maris’ “Cows in Pasture,” Mesdag’s “Cloudy Day at Sea,” Theophile de Bock’s “Autumn Colors,” B.2-J...; Bloomer’s ‘Departure of the Fisherman,” and G. H. Breitner’s ‘Winter Seene in Am- sterdam.” Among A startling and artistic effect is pro- duced in the manner of labeling the different varieties of apples in the Horticulture building at the World’s fair. For example, the words “The Spy”? appear on the cheeks of the ap- ples of that variety in a dainty yellow tint. This was produced while the fruit was on the tree, and before it INTEREST TO IOWA NEIGHBORS. began to color the fruit grower cut from paper the letters and pasted them on the apple. The sun brought out the color on every part of the ap- ple that was not shaded by the paper letters. we Workers Wanted St. Paul, Minn.—Mrs. Florence T. VanGalder, Editor Royal Neighbor: In the June issue of the paper I note the comment on deputies being paid a salary, and I heartily agree with hav- ing them work on commission. I fre- quently receive letters from deputies who cannot make another attempt on account of successive failures. Three energetic Royal Neighbors can secure positions as deputies. Two for South Dakota and one for Southern Minnesota. Only women who have a desire for hard work and who can and will devote their time to it need apply.

Prosperous at Pontiac Pontiac, Tll.—It has been some time since our neighboring camps have heard from La Rose Camp 1606, lo- cated at Pontiac, Ill.

We presented both Neighbors with Royal Neighbor pins as a souvenir of our camp. Another Neighbor moved to Indiana and it was whispered around among the Neigh- bors that the wed- bells would before she -moved away, SO we all gathered at her home one evening and gave her a Royal Neighbors’ “kitchen shower.” Utensils of every most of whom were re-elected. One of our managers, who ding ring description and kind were given and all had a jolly time. Our - camp fund being rather low we decided to give a “Business Men’s Roller Skat- ing Carnival” and ball at the Wood- men armory and as this was some- thing Pontiae had never had before itis needless to say it was a grand success both so- and __ finan- cially. Next month the Pontiae Chau- tauqua, which oc- curs annually, will be held, and as people from all parts of the United States gather here for two weeks, the Royal Neighbors always have a large tent furnished nicely and all visiting Neighbors find it a resting place and make it their home while on the grounds. Our Woodmen of Camp 5 are most kind to our camp and help us in many ways. We were invited to participate in their cially memorial services on June 5, which we did. Miss ANNA CAVIEZEL, , Recorder. we Men seldom improve when they have no other model than themselves to go by. It is by association and inter- change of thought that they not only polish up themselves but those with whom they come in contact. ‘ xe Ee An exchange thus observes: . “There is no other occupation more honorable or that results in greater good to the people than that of selling fraternal life insurance. Our lawmakers and statesmen have wisely decided that it is cheaper and infinitely better to edu- eate the people than to build jails and penitentiaries.”
