State Fair.--The State Fair will not be
held Mt Toledo, but at Columbus. Toledo
learned, when too late, that the encourage.
ment, amounting to almost, ii not quite, an
agreement, was only for the purpose OF Sc
curing lever with which to pry ont of
the Columbus people few concessions
which any enterprising city would
have granted without hesitation. The
people of Toledo are very indignant in con-
sequence of the shabby manner in which
they have been treated by the State Board,
and there is strong talk of organizing a
Northern Ohio Fair, to be participated in
by Southern Michigan and Northern In
dian1. Itiss1id Cleveland will Join hands
with Toledo in such nm enterprise, and
SHOULD the Toledo people go into it, success
is certain.

PoLITENEss.-The truly polite man or
woman never says anything which is cal
culated to wound the feelings of friend
or neighbor. The first requirements of
gentility demand absolute command of
countenance and figure, calm, placid de-
pertinent, unbroken ease, sustained dig
nifty, habitual smiles, indiscrimina.e re-
spect; nay, the semblancs of esteem or
even love for everything that approaches.
and the taking ready interest in what
ever concerns every one, but showing
none at all in whatever regards ourselves
merely-these are the constituents of
highly refined and courtly manners; and
these imply such an unnatural suppress
sion of feelings; such habitual restraint
upon the emotions of every kind; such a
false position of the mind at all times, as
is most easily learned under the sway
and the dread Of despotic prince or his
provincial representative. Accordingly
the manners of the Orientals are known
to be polite to an extravagant degree
while there is want of polish in the sub
jects of free States which has made the
roughness of republican almost pro-
verbal.

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.-Astley's
Amphitheater was always famous for the
wonderful sagacity of its trained horses.
One evening the performance represent
ed house on fire. All the inhabitants
of the dwelling had managed to escape
except q lady in an upper story. You
saw her at the window throwing her arms
about wildly, and screaming for help.
Her appeals to the assembled crowd be-
meath we're heartrending. The fire men
could not reach her, for the stairs were
seemingly in blaze and there was no
fre-escape. The excitement was at fever
pitch. In the midst of the commotion
the lady's pet horse rushed upon the
stage. In its stable it heard the screams
of its mistress and fastened to do its best
to save her. Without saddle or bride
it was seen to rush into the house, and
climb the stairs amid flames and volumes
of smoke. 1t reached the apartment
where the lady was. She mounted on its
back, holding by the name, and the horse,
descending the stairs, brought her safely
to the ground. Prolonged shouts of APP
plause rewarded the hazardous exploit.
When we remember that horses have an
almost uncomfortable dread Of fire, this
was wonderful piece of acting. 1t will
be understood that the fire had been SO
adroitly managed as to effect no injury
on the theater, and that there had never
been any real danger.

The Customs Service of China.

The imperial costumes are the only
thing China has to be proud of-the only
branch of her service not nullifed by
robbery and extortion. Controlled en-
tirely by foreigners, it has for its object
the collection Of import and export dues
at treaty ports only, and employs a staff
of about 375 foreigners and 1865 natives.
These ore all under the control of one
man-Inspector. General Robert Hart
who, from his Office in Pekin, seems to
direct his various offices with very
wonderful executive ability. He is aided
by twenty three commissioners and twelve
deputies, all of whom receive magnificent
salaries, which they we'll earn. Salaries
range from 81 500 month for a commits
sioner, down to SIS for third class tide
waiter. All are provided with the best
quarters procurable, and every seven
years they an granted two years leave of
absence on half pay, while at the time of
resignation of Office they receive very
handsome lump sum, proportional to the
length of service.
The "outdoor" staff wear a neat uni.
form, and are selected from hosts of appli-
cants, for general good conduct and edu-
cation, and being confirmed in their po-
sitiOns till several months of probation
have expired. The last published report
1873 shows the revenue for that year to
have been 1904, 575 taels, or over &c.
500, 900. That for treaty ports alone is
not bad. All the lighthouses on China's
coast are controlled by the customs, the
expenses being paid in part by port
dues" from foreign vessels. The native

SELECTING FLOUR.

In selecting -four first look to the
color. II it is white, with yellow
ish straw oolored tint, buy it. If it
is white with blush cast, or with
specks in it, refuse it. Second, ex'
anime its adhesiveness-- ana
knead a little of it between your
fingers; if it works soft end sticky,
il is poor. Third, throw little
lump of dried -four against q smooth
surface +; il it falls like powder, it is
bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the
flour tightly in your hand; If it re-
tains the shape given b. the press
ure, that, too, is good sign. 1t is
safe to buy flour that will stand all
these tests. These modes are given
by all old flour dealers, and they
pertain TO matter that concerns
every body-the staff of life.
