A lady, or girl, was being borne in the
arms of police officer into drug store at
the corner of the street. "Is she hurt7"
inquired Allan, pressing closer to obtain a
glimpse of her face.

"Come, make way there, make way! Clear
out here, everybody" cried the policeman,
authoritatively, as the crowd attempted to
follow him into the shop. The door was
closed in their faces. Allan, however, on
account of bis gentlemanly appearance, easi-
ly obtained an entrance.
"Can be of any assistance," he inquired
of the proprietor of the establishment, who
had arranged a sofa comfortably and had the
young lady deposited on it,
"A doctor has been sent for. There's one
Just on the next square" was the reply.
The sufferer was girl of exquisite beauty,
to all appearance about sixteen or seventeen
years of age. Her eyes were closed, and their
long, black lashes swept her perfectly color

Allan stood looking down on the beautiful,

girl with feeling of deeper interest than he

INDIANA STATE FAIR.
The Most Successful Exhibition of the Kind
Ever Seen in Indianapolis.
List of Premiums Awarded, with Some Ac-
count Of What was Done Dur
ing the Week.

The state fair, which opened on Monday,
Sebtember 80, at the exposition grounds in
this city, and closed on Friday, October 4,
was the most successful exhibition of the kind
ever held in Indiana. The entries of live stock
and number of articles on exhibition were
greater than at any previous fair. The at
tendance throughout was large. On Tues
day, the second day of the fair, there was
an archery tournament, which attracted con-
siderable attention, and an attempted BALBOA
ascension, which resulted disastrously to the
aeronaut, Professor Gilbert, who was quite
badly injured. The accident was owing to
the strong high wind which prevailed. On
Wednesday the pioneers convention
was held, a full account of which
is elsewhere published. Thursday was the
big day of the fair. 1t is estimated that there
were from 10000 to 5000 people on the
grounds, and it is probable that there were
that many, as the gate receipts amounted to
$500, which would indicate an attendance
of "a 600 who paid at the gates, besides the
great number who held complimentary
tickets exhibitors and those EN-
ployed about the grounds at various Of
fees. FROM early morn until night the
buildings and grounds were densely packed,
presenting the appearance of a sea of NOV
ing FORMS and twas difficult to move about,
in the buildings especially in the examina.
ton of displays. Fortunately there were no
accidents worth mentioning during the day,
and very few cases of pocket picking. The
attendance on Friday was also large.
A balloon ascension took place on
this day which was an entire
success. Horse racing and other amuse-
ments were of frequent occurrence during
the week. The premiums awarded were as
follows:

DebaSing Coin.

The most extensive fraud perpetrated
on gold coinage is splitting The
operator uses fine saw to split the coin
neatly in two. Then he gouges the gold
out in the center until only thin out
side shell is left, and substitutes silver
and platinum alloy for the metal thus
distracted. The two parts are then
joined with gold solder, and the edge is
remilled. In this way, we are informed,
gold to the value of $3.50 has been
taken from single piece. The opera
ton, however, generally destroys the
ring or tone of the coin, leaving it, be-
sides, either too light or too thick. An
other swindle is to bore into the edge,
and it is said that John Chinaman favors
this game, buying up the pieces, sending
them to China, so that his dexterous
compatriots may there manipulate them
in safety, and subsequently reimporting
them to set them adrift upon the .uu-
suspecting American public The holes
whence the gold is taken are refilled
with silver, covered with gold solder, and
the edges are neatly finished; but the
light weight reveals the theft. From
five to seven and half dollars worth
of gold has thus been taken from one
coin, and the pieces, of course, have
every appearance of being genuine.

loss Nothing makes firmer or better
pork or lard than peas, and the manure
from pea-fed pigs is exceedingly rich.
HORSES should have feeding of roots
daily. Nothing is 50 good as carrots for
them, but If they are mot at hand, wash
few potatoes clean, and pound them
and add meal. As an Alternative, and to
aid digestion, roots are needed in the
spring. Cattle eat greater variety
than horses, and potatoes, turnips, beets,
or carrots are not refused. Parsnips
might be grown with profit for cattle,
and wintered in the ground.
No medicine is such complete
specific for parasites on animals and
fowls as the dust, and the finest dust
that can be procured for the purpose.
Nothing is more preventative of the
health of animals than dust, and in
summer, when it can be procured by
them without the aid of man, they al
ways do best. 1t should be well
sprinkled and freely scattered from the
head to the tail, along the backbone,
using an abundance of this most excel,
lent and cheapest of all cattle medicines.
The agricultural report of 1863
showed that the amount of chess made
in the United States in 1860 was 1O3,-
663,927 pounds, and this was increased
in 1877 to 24O 000,0 pounds; while
the exports have increased from 1856
799 for the year ending June 80, 1850,
to 81, 697 ,503 pounds for the year end
ing June 30, 1877. From the same
source we learn that the demand for
American cheese in English markets is
increasing, and one cheese seller in
Chesterfield admits that for every ton of
English cheese he sells, thirty tons of
American make find ready market.

A Balloon Hospital.

As flies are said TO eat animalcules in
impure air, thus removing the seeds of
disease, leanness in fly is prima facie
evidence of pure air in house, while
corpulency indicates foul wallpaper and
bad ventilation. Talking of foul and
fresh atmosphere, there has lately been
adopted in India novel method of Civ
ing change of air to. people who cannot
afford to leave home. Patients go up
in a balloon, which ascends to a certain
height, and is there made captive. 1t
