THE FAIR.

The Fair, which will be held next
week, will probably be the largest
ever held. The premiums offered
are sufficient to draw a large number
of exhibitors. The grounds are in
good condition and the buildings
have all been considerably improved
and besides Owosso with its usual
enterprise, has generously donated
$500 to build a fine Floral Hail.
This is nearly completed and will be
a decided improvement. Everything
is being done to make this the
most successful Fair for years.
Now since the officers of the Asso-
citation are doing so much, and
Owosso has been so liberal, let there
be good attendance. The farmers
of this county should all be here and
see the improvements that are being
made elsewhere, should come and
note the progress in the various kinds
of machines. Then this is the best
time to become acquainted that the
year offers, for here representatives
from every township in the county
are present. Withal, this is the time
for recreation, after the harvests are
in and the summers work is over,
and no better place could be found
for amusement than the County Fair.

THE STATE TEACHERS
INSTITUTE.


The State Teachers Institute for
the county of Shiawassee will be held
at Vernon, commencing at 10 o'clock
A. NJ, Monday, Oct. 8, and closing
Friday afternoon following. E. M.
Hopkins, Esq, Vernon, Local Com
mittee.
1t is becoming a well established
fact that an interchange Of views,
such as is given in these Institutes,
is of great practical benefit to those
attending them, The teachers that
are found in the front ranks of their
profession are generally those who
take interest enough in their work
to avail themselves of such means
of Improvement.
The Institute law, as amended by
the last Legislature, allows teachers
whose schools are in session at the
time appointed for the County lnsti-
tute, held under the direction of the
State Superintendent, to close their
schools during the continuance of
such Institute, without FORGETTING their
wages for as many half.days as they
are in attendance at the Institute.
This removes a cause that has pre-
vented many teachers from attending
these Institutes in the past and in
view of the inducements to self-im-
provement thus furnished by the law,
County Examiners and School
Boards will both exercise wisdom
and practice justice by giving prefer
ence to those teachers, other things
being equal, who seek all such means
better 10 prepare themselves for the
work of their profession.
1t is designed to make the work
in these Institutes as practical as
possible, and thus meet the wants
of the teachers in all grades in their
ever day work. AT the same
time it will be the purpose of every
worker to raise the standard of the
profession of teaching, and to gain
for it that dignity to which it is en-
titled. Especial attention will bt
given to such subjects as have beer
recently added to the list of those il
which teachers are required to pas
examination before obtaining certifi
Gates.
The exercises will be conducted b,
persons of extended experience
known ability and eminent success.
The morning and afternoon SEES
sions will be devoted to the discus
sion of topics of particular interes
to teachers, while the evening lee
lures will be of a popular character
There aUX be no tuition or enroll
meM fee.-Full particulars in regar'
to board, etc., may be obtained Of
application to the local committee.

Tho Missing Link

There is on exhibition at the ROYAL
Aquarium, Westminster. a little girl seven
years old, who, il is claimed, is spec-
men Of the missing link between man and
the anthrophoid apes. This little waif
came from Borneo, and longs to the Lao
Country She is called Krav Tue body
of this child is completely covered with
coating of dense black hair, n quarter of
an inch long the skin, such of it as is
seen, is Of & dark olive brown. Krao has
many of the traits of the monkey: she
has the full pouched cheeks, into which
she siuffs her food, monkey fashion. Like
the an'hrophOids, her feet are prehenslle.
and The hands SD flsxible that they bend
back over the wrists the lips protrude.
50 as to give her a chimpanzee LOOK there
are some symptoms Of an abOr;ed tail in
the eloDgatiOn Of the spinal column. YET
this moakey-likc creature appears to be
as intelligent as an L Iropean Child of her
own age. She is playful and gentle, and
can arliculate many Eoglish words, which
che uses inteliigently. 1t seems there are
numerous specimens Of the tribe to which
she belongs In Borneo. They are hairy
race, and 0heD they reach adult life are
Of low order Of intelligence. Little Krao
was great fivorite at the Aquarium, and

scend from some extinct species Of an-
ihrophoid apes Fl DemoresPs Monthly.
