Live Stock Pavilion on State
Fair Grounds
A bill has been introduced in
the present legislature to appro
priate 15000 for the erection of
a live stock pavilion on the state
fair grounds
- The livestock industry is one of
the most important of our agri
cultural interests
While according to the U S
census returns Nebraska ranks
tenth 10th as an agricultural
state it also ranks fourth 4th in
number and value of cattle and
fourth 4th in the number and
value of swine According to the
best information available the
total value of our live stock on
January 1 1904 was 128338-
606 At our state fairs are ex
hibited the finest individual speci
mens of the improved breeds of
jjive stock thousands of our people
visit our state fairs to see these
specimens of improved breeds
with a view to improving the
quality and value of their own
herds by the use of animals of
improved or better breeding to
be able to receive the greatest
benefit in this respect the visitors
at the state fair should have the
opportunity of seeing such ani
mals at the best advantage and
this can be best done when
animals of like age and breeding
are brought into the show ring to
be judged and prizes awarded
At present such a show ring is an
open space enclosed by a rope or
fence to keep at a distance the
interested fair visitors who crowd
the rope or fence in their efforts
to see the animals being exhibited
Nothing is more tiresome or wea
rying than an attempt to see an
exhibit of well bred animals under
such conditions and especially if
it be on a hot September day with
the sun shining brightly or as is
sometimes the case when it is
necessary to proceed with the
judging even though a heavy rain
be falling
The hog one of the most valu
able of our domestic animals has
its nose close to the ground and
suffers quickly when placed in an
enclosure in the hot sunshine
Consider for a moment a class of
these valuable animals brought
into the show ring on our state
fair grounds to be judged and
prizes awarded The show ring
is quickly surrounded by scores
hundreds if there was room of
interested state fair visitors A
veritable wall of human beings is
formed about the animals shut
ting off the circulation of fresh air
and intensifying the heat with
the result that the hogs in the
ring suffer from heat panting for
breath and often cannot be kept

not be seen or their merits com
pared with any degree of pleas
ure or profit by those most inter
ested The same conditions pre
vail though in not so marked a
degree in the showing of other
classes of live stock
The most needed building and
improvement on the Nebraska
state fair grounds is a live stock
pavilion and it would seem that
as a state having more than
128000000 invested in live
stock we can well afford to in
vest a sum in amount less than
two hundredths of one per cent
of the value of said live stock
in a building on the fairgrounds
where the improved breeds of
live stock can be shown to the
best advantage and where state
fair exhibitors can sit in ease
under cover while such animals
are being shown and judged and
make intelligent comparisons as
to the merits of the various ani
mals

TYPICAL FRENCH CHILD
The Everyday Life of a Girl Eleven
Ycnro of Afe
iet mc take Felice Boulanger which
fcmt her name as a typical French
child of my experience gained after
nearly three years residence in France
She is one of five children ranging in
nge from lier brother of sixteen to the
youngest girl of six Felice lias a skin
like the sheen of a pearl which is
marvelous considering the amount of
Indigestible food she bolts five times
a day big deerlike eyes long lashed
daintily shaped but seldom clean bands
a thin rasping and petulant voice even
In her merriest mood and a physique
like that of a starved and homeless cat
narrow chested spider legged and
staminaless generally Yet she seems
full of vitality nervous irritable vital
ityeats as much food as an English
navvy and certainly has as my Ameri
can lady friend says heaps of sense
But to see the child eating is painful
though interesting in a way
An English girl of eleven years of
age like Felice would be sent to bed
at say 9 oclock Felice and her type
and her younger sisters sit down to
dinner at G30 p m and stay up until
11 or later listening to the conversa

CATERPILLARS AND LAW
Actions ABniiist the Insects In the
Courts of France
In the year 1545 the owners of the
vineyards of St Julian Savoy France
solemnly took action in the law courts
against a host of hungry caterpillars
which had played havoc with their
vines This grave matter was referred
to arbitration and came in due course
before the bishop as ecclesiastical
judge
Two lawyers were retained in the in
terest of the insect ravagers letters ad
monishing them to discontinue their
mischief were issued and a commis
sion sat to estimate the damage done
The judge held that no hasty decision
should be given since it was possible
that the caterpillars had not acted ma
liciously but had beeu sent as a
scourge
At the end of a year from the first
proceedings it was held that the farm
ers must submit to the infliction and
pay all costs After an interval of forty-two
years another army of caterpil
lars invaded the vineyards another ac
tion was brought and it was decided
that they Avere only exercising their le
gal rights while the owners were ad
vised to provide a piece of land where
they might range at will

THE OBSERVING ROBIN
How DotfH the Dlnl Know Joit
Where to Dore For GrubuT
I once observed a robin boring for
grubs In a country dooryard It Is a
common enough sight to witness one
seize an angleworm and drag it from
its burrow in the turf but I am not
sure that I ever before saw one drill
for grubs and bring the big white mor
sel to the surface The robin I am
speaking of htUl a nest of young in a
maple near by and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins
stopping every few feet her form stiff
and erect Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
ground and bring eye or ear for a mo
ment to bear intently upon it Then
she would spring to boring the turM
vigorously with her bill changing her
attitude at each stroke alert and
watchful throwing up the grass roots
and little jets of soil stabbing deeper
and deeper growing every moment
more and more excited till finally a fat
grub was seized and brought forth
Time after time during several days I
saw her mine for grubs in this way and
drag them forth How did she know
where to drill The insect was in every
case an inch below the surface Did
she hear it gnawing the roots ol tae
grasses or did she see a movement in
the turf beneath which the grub was at
work I know not I only know that
she struck her game unerringly each
time Only twice did I see her make
a few thrusts and then desist as if
she had been for the moment deceived

How the French Actor Got Into the
Sub Roan Club
One of the most famous of the Quar

which is called the Sub Itosa
The elder Coquelin the great actor
was present one night at the clubs
weekly feast and applied for member
ship Now the only ruffes of the Sub
Rosa men are Think much Write
little Be as silent as 3 ou can The
presiding ollicer with this last rule in
mind answered the applicant by plac
ing before him a tumbler filled so full
of water that another drop would have
caused it to run over Coquelin under
stood The club membership was ob
viously full
Over the table was suspended a rose
the club emblem While the glass
still stood before him Coquelin broke
a petal from the flower and laid it so
gently on the water that not a single
drop escaped A silent man could join
and make no trouble
Around the table ran a ripple of
smiles and little hand claps and nods of
approval and then as if of one accord
all began making bread balls Then a
cup was passed from hand to hand and
each deposited his ballot in it and
all were found to be rouud Not one
had been pressed flat in sign of disap
proval So Coquelin joined the Sub

The orientals love of luxury splen
dor of attire and personal adornment
acts as a strong Incentive to the eastern
jeweler in the production of those ex
quisitely carved and multicolored crea
tions over which the modern world
raves and marvels Nor are such deco
rations mere ornaments without other
use or meaning
The oriental jeweler seated upon the
floor of his little shop inhaling the fra
feaut odors of his pipe and coffee con
ceives his design and jealously envel
ops It with mysticism adding to it the
quaint charm of symbol and supersti
tion The bracelet the earrings the
necklace the clasp the buckle and the
button grow step by step into a special
ornament according to the rank
means tastes and wants of the wearer
an evidence of class and dignity
Bracelets are by orientals worn In
pairs Eacli hand Is provided with one
as otherwise jealousy will spring up
between the manual members and evil
deeds will follow Earrings are popu
lar among both sexes In certain parts
of the orient The ears are pierced at
birth The perforations are made un
necessarily large so as not to permit a
residue of gossip Then ornaments are
offered the ears as consolation Neck
laces are worn most conspicuously to
avert the evil eye and to denote dig
nity and distinction Festoon neck
laces seem to have been in vogue from
time immemorial and not infrequently
do they adorn the whole chest of the
wearer In India the men often bor
row their wives necklaces to decorate
themselves with Masculine vanity of
certain sects of the Persians far ex
ceeds that of women and aside from
wearing earrings and necklaces they
almost monopolize the tiny seed pearls
by stringing them in their beards each
hair being literally covered with a lus
trous pearl
Beads are among the earliest forms
of ornaments and are considered po
tent charms for felicity as these are
often cut and sold by priests or sheiks
who maintain themselves solely by this
means The pear shaped drop so much
in vogue in Europe and America is of
decidedly oriental origin and has at
tached to it a quaint myth The Kaa
ba stone in Mecca has this peculiar
shape and according to the theory of
the Mohammedans this stone wa the
actual guardian angel who Avas sent to
watch over Adam in Eden and was
present at his fall As a punishment
for not having more vigilantly exe
cuted his trust the angel was changed
into a stone and hurled from paradise
Most Mohammedans wear pearl shaped
pendants made of wood or some pre
cious stone as a reminder of Allahs
wrath and these are held among them
in the same esteem as is the cross
among the Christians
Armlets are regarded as caste marks
and are worn only by women Anklets
have a healing power and so are worn
not as ornaments only Little tinkling
bells are often attached to these which
lend a pleasing sound to an approach
ing step and serve to denote the su
periority and rank of the wearer and
thus in passing render 1 homage
An Arabian poet describes these as
the awakeners of dormant senses
Rings are worn in great profusion
and are made of all sorts of metals
However they invariably have ex
nulsitelv carved or openwork shanks
Even the stones have their
and are worn accordingly

symbols
In the
against
opals
Signet rings were of great importance
among the earlier orientals and even
to the present day letters are rarely
otherwise signed by those who send
them Thus the authenticity of all
orders and communications even
merchants bills depends wholly upon
an impression of a signet ring The
occupation of the seal cutter is regard
ed as one of great trust and danger
Such a person is obliged to keep a reg
ister of every ring seal ho makes and
if one be lost or stolen from the party
for whom it was cut his life would
answer for making another just like it
The loss of a signet ring is regarded as
a disastrous calamity and the alarm
which an oriental exhibits at the loss
of the signet can only be understood
by a reference to these circumstances
as the seal cutter is always obliged to
alter the real date at which the seal
was cut The only resource of a per
son who has lost his seal is to have
another made with new date and to
write to his correspondents to inform
them that all accounts contracts and
communications to which his former
signet is affixed are null from the day
on which It was lost Jewelers Circu

It has been said that It Is better to

or rich After forty eat less and elimi
nate more Drink more pure water and
keep the peristaltic wave of prosperity
constantly moving down the alimenta

much business and not enough health
When such is the case they had better
cut out business and society for a time
and come down to mush and milk and
first principles Dont be foolish Eat
less and play more Indulge in less fret
and fume and more fruit and fun
There are people too indolent to bo
healthy literally too lazy to live Work
your brains and keep in touch with
people Do something for others and
forget yourselves There Is nothing so
inane and detrimental to mind and
health as the conversation of people on
their aches and pains and troubles

The enormous number of proverbial
sayings in Quixote had much to do
with the success of the book especially
in England and France at a time when
the apothegm and maxim were a favor
ite literary form and quite apart from
the inexhaustible fund of humorous ac
tion contained in the work Sanchos
sententious dicta made the noval as a
collection of proverbs alone worth pres
ervation
As in the case of so many of Shake
speares apothegms hundreds of Saneho
Panzas saying have become so much a
part of our common speech as to sound
almost trite when we stumble across
them on the printed page Diligence
is the mother of success seems obvious
enough but the man who first enshrin
ed it in speech was a genius He
whom God helps is better off than the
man who gets up early is a bit of
worldly experience that comes home
even now to many a doubter as t
whether we get our deserts while
Cromwells Trust God and keep your

away Another shrewd piece of ob
servation from the same source might
save many a tradesman from loss to
this day He who does not mean to
pay does not haggle about price and

which Saneho warns the world against
stretching out the leg farther than the
sheet that covers it is as necessary and
