The Business Houses Close in Honorof The Occasion, and Everypody Goes. The Afternoon nice and The Day a Success- The day opened rather threatening this morning with the streets a little muddy, but at noon the clouds broke, the mud disappeared and the street cars and car ryalls were filled to over flowing by persons on their way to the fair grounds. I lie track was in a fair condition con- siedring the night's rain.

The records of awards for cattle and fruits were not handed in, in time for us to obtain them, and we hope to give them to-morrow. The afternoon races were also too late for publication, The crowd at the grounds wars very large, and from 1 to 3:30 o'clock two men were kept busy at the gate handing tickets out to the anxious crowd outside, and the street cars were jam full every trip. Jiain street presented tne appearance i . of Sunday, and very little business was transacted in the city. One excellent feature of the fair is that no liquor is allowed to be sold either on the grounds or on the outside, and every thing passes off smoothly, all seeming to ve a grand good time. urder pre vailed everywhere. To-morrow is the last day of our great county fair, let everybody improve the opportunity and attend.

Tall and with grace of move ment, Hho reflects in face and form the mellowed tints of that which, when a bello, was in it glow. Tho contour of face and head is queenly. In profile, the forehead, noso and mouth are perfect in Grecian mold. Her face, in repose, is sweet, confiding and matronly. The thick hair that covers her head is of tho purest white, but she still looks youthful, nevertheless. "We are roughing it here," sho said as slio entered tho parlor. "Here we find quiet, and the general much pleasure in preparing the manuscript for the sec ond volume of his book. He has gone to New York today to see lus publishers. I asked Mrs. Fremont if the general in view of his advancing years, ehowed any causo of breaking down. "Not a bit of it," was her cheery an swer. "Tho general is T7 years of age, but he is yet a young man. I feel for him sweltering this hot day in New York. But in his work and purjoses he is as young as ever. In tho preparation of lus book he dictates much of it to me. Lillie, my daughter, in somewhat profi cient with the typewriter, so that the publishers get the manuscript in the best of form." I then led the conversation up to her father. At once Mrs. rrcmont became enthusiastic. Apparent was it that the old time favorite son of Missouri was her idol. "I keep posted on polir&s now," sho said; "but I do not take the interest I once did. You seo we are bo tween tho stages of politics. The ques tions at issue between tho parties are not as absorbing as they were when the ques tion of slavery was a constant agitation. Now we have the tariff. I can recall delegation after delegation calling on father discussing the pros and cons of it. I once said to him: 'Why do these men talk of the tariff? Why not something else?' His answer was tho tariff and its adjustment would ever be an import ant question. To me tho talk of the crops, bo much repeated, often became a bore. My father once said good crops enable the kings to squeeze the people oxt of moro taxes, and bad crops pro voked revolution. Quite a way of illus trating," sho added, with a laugh. Cor. Boston Globe. The Speculator and the Hostler. The real estate agent met the man at the depot, who had invested in the new Dakota town by mail, and after a twenty mile ride across the prairie, he said to him: "We are now exactly in the center of Metropolis City. ' "What?" 5-elled the speculator, "I don't seo but three houses!" "Of course I live in one, the news paper is printed in another and the post- oftice is in the other." "And whero are all the railroads I saw on the map?" "Comuig, sur, all of them coming. No mistake about it, because I am president of each company. "But are those lots I bought right here by the postonice? "Such questions make me tired. No, sir, those lots by the postoffice are for the chamber of commerce, and all the others around here are business lots. You bought residence lots they are beyond the slough and over the hill, about a mile from here. You don't want to live right in the heart of a city, do you? By the way, I keep a hotel as well as a real estate office do you want to stay with me to-night, or will you lay out? If you want to stop with me you'll have to pay in advance I don't like the looka of your baggage." Dakota Bell. Effect of Tea Tasting. "Ten years ago only one store in a hundred had what is known as a tea taster; now there is no tea house of any importance whatever which has not in one of its employes a good tea taster. said a large wholesale tea dealer. "A thousand chests of tea will be received; the tea taster then gets in his work. A little tea is taken and put in a scale; just enough to balance a five cent piece. It is then placed in cups and boiling water is poured over the tea. The taster then takes a sip from each cup and writes down on a piece of paper his idea of its worth. "No two tasters, however, agree to the value of tea, especially the black Oolong, which is mostly drank m this city. "Does the tea have any injurious effect on the taster? "Sometimes ho will get hold of a posi tively rank grade, and then he will spit it out as soon as he can. Frequent tast ing often makes a man very nervous, and most of these men soon acquire a positive disiiice for tea and drink nothing but coffee. There are connoisseurs of tea as well as whisky." Philadelphia News. With Head to the North. The superstition that human beings should sleep with their heads to the north is believed by the French to have for its foundation a scientific fact. They affirm that each human system i3 in itself an electric battery, the head being one of the electrodes, the feet the other. Their proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sciences was al lowed to make on the body of a man who was guillotined. This was taken the in stant it fell and placed upon a pivot free to move as it might. The head part, after a little vacillation, turned to the north, and the body then remained sta tionary. It was turned half way round by one of the professors, and again the head end of the trunk moved slowly to the cardinal point due north, the same re sults being repeated until the final arres- tation of organic movement. New York Star. Be Bare and Rap Them. A dangerous counterfeit of the silver dollar is made of ground glass combined with tin, lead and other metals. Ex perienced bank tellers say they cannot easily, detect this counterfeit. These glass dollars are brittle. If held in the palm of the hand and rapped vigorously with a knif a handle, the dollar is easily split. They have the metallic ring of a genuine dollar, are the correct size, and of nearly the exact weight. PhiladeU ' i phiaCall. Preparing the Family "Grave Clothes." In former years it was tho custom in old Esopus, now Kingston, N. Y., for all thrifty dames to prepare "grave clothes for the various members of their family. With the growth of a child the old "grave clothes" would bo discarded and new garments mado. A laughable story about a relative of tho Ltto Judge West brook, of Kingston, is told by an ex change: Mrs. s grave clothes had been laid carefully away for many a long day. When grown yellow or mussed looking tho old lady would "do them up fresh" with her own hands, and a feeling of blissful readiness and security would again bo hers. One day a neighbor called on the old lady, and tho latter was found to bo greatly perturbed over something. "Guess you'd bo flustered, too," said tho excited dame, "if somebody came and borrowed your grave clothes, just after they'd all been done up fresh. That sliiftless Miss 1 I knew sho wouldn't have anything fit to wear when 6he came to die; and suro enough, it was borrow, borrow, even after her death. Such shiftlessness I never could endure! Now I've got to go to work and mako up an other set, or I may be catched in the 6ame box." The old lady, who was then past 90, went promptly to work and had fresh grave clothes made up, and it is asserted on good authority that she lived only a few hours after their completion. -Youth's Companion. Japanese Funeral Procession. As wo started to leave this Btore a Japanese funeral procession was passing tho door. Fir6t came three men, each carrying nn immense stand of new cut flowers, who were followed by several men carrying and beating tomtoms. After these came a procession of men dressed in blue, marching two by two and each wearing a large straw hat, very similar to a lady's sundown, tied under the chin so as to almost hide the face. Behind the procession came the pall bearers, four men, supporting two bam boo poles on their shoulders, on which rested what looked like a large coffin box entirely covered with white. In tliis box was the corpse, pressed down to a squatting position. Next came the mourners, men and women, and after them a number of Creoles, each carrying i bamboo pole On his shoulder, on each end of which was slung a large black tea box containing food for the dead and his family deities.
