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.

Mle nnton Fremont I 3
Jessie Benton Fremont, famous for her
beauty whon she made her runaway
match with the army lieutenant, in her
maturer womanhood is hardly less capti
vating or interesting than in her younger
jteriod. 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

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

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

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. Cor. Baltimore bun.
