THE COMING INSTITUTE FAIR AT BosTo,

THE COMING INSTITUTE FAIR AT BOSTON.
From the present outlook there is
every indication that the Institute fair,
which is to be held the coming fall in
Boston, at the New England Manufact-
urers' and Mechanics Institute, will be a
success in every feature. Mr.. John F.
Wood, one of the committee on conduct
of fair, has just returned from visit to
the South and West, and upon being
called on by Traveller representative
in relation to his visit, said that assur-
ances of cooperation had been given him
on every hand.
L. R.-Will there be any departments
that you did not have last year?
Mr.. W.-1es, this fall we shall have a
woman's department, under the charge
of Mrs. Henrietta l.. L. Wolcott, in which
will be shown the product of womans
handiwork. One of the attractions will
be the exhibition of thread manufacture,
which will be shown in every detail by
young ladies from the Wllimantic Thread
is an assured success, and will be a very
attractive feature. Quite a number of
applications for space to show articles
invented 10y woman for the comfort Of
their homes, and many other useful
purposes, have been made. The object
of this department is to give more
comprehensive scope to woman's work
than has ever before been offered al
exhibitions, and we have set apart an
acre OF floor space to show what women
produce in the various industrial lines
From what has already been promised,
this department will be most interesting
and instructive. Letters from the vice
presidents Of the Woman's Committee in
Connecticut and Vermont, state that
great interest is being manifested in those
States, and that large and varied exhibits
will be sent Various publication houses
have promised to send collections of
wOmen's literary works. | believe that
this department will we'll illustrate the
abilities of woman as worker. and in
such a manner as will make every woman
who sees it justly proud of her sex. The
arrangements of most exhibitions have
been such DIS to lead to the impression
and BELIEF that women contributed only
tides and patched quilts. No greater
mistake could be made Women are in
ventors and produce more valuable wares
and represent something more than
patience and perseverance in patchwork.
In giving women a special department,
we but begin to correct an error

The Stranger.
AN EASTERN LEGEND.


An aged man came late to Abraham's tent.
The sky was dark, and all the plain was bare.
He asked for BREAD his strength was well-nigh
spent;
His haggard look implored the tenderest care.
The food was brought. He sat with thankful
eyes,
But spake no grace, nor bowed he toward the
east.
Safe-sheltered here from dark and angry skies,
The bouuteous table seemed a royal feast.
But ere his hand mad touched the tempting fare,
The Patriarch rose, and leaning on his rod,
stranger" he said, ''dost thou not bow in
prayer?
Dost thou not fear, dost thou not worship,
God"
He answered, "Nay." The Patriarch sadly
said
Thou hast my pity. Go! eat not my bread"
Another came that wild and fearful night.
The fierce winds ragged. and darker grew the
sky;
But all the tent was filed with wondrous light,
And Abraham knew the Lord his God was nigh.
Where is that aged man." the Presence said,
THAT asked for shelter from the driving blast!
Who made thee master of thy Masters bread!
What right hadst thou the wanderer forth to
cast:
Forgive me, Lord,' the Patriarch answer
made.
With downcast look, with bowed and trembling
knee.
''Ah me. the stranger might with me have
staid,
But. my God. he would not worship Thee"
I've borne him long," God said, "and still
wait:
Couldst thou not lodge him one night in thy
gate:"
Wallace Bruce, in Harper's Magazine for Aug.

What Constitutes Overwork p

Mr.. Seymour Haden, another of Mr..
SpeneerS cOuntrymen, in a compliment
AIRY reception speech, expressed also his
quite emphatic disagreement with Spen-
Ger, and his admiration of the spirit of
American enterprise and the splendid
activity OF the American people. AS to
the injury done by OverWork, he did not
believe in it, and the eminent physician,
Sir William Gull, told him he had never
known man who had died from it. 1t
is worry, not work. which kills, said Mr.
Iaden.
Undoubtedly but is not the deadly
worry one of the inevitable accompani-
ments anu consequences OF the over
work under the conditions of COMPETE
tive enterprise in this country? 1t is
work carried to such extremes as to en-
gender anxiety and harassment under
the tierceness of business struggles and
the eagerness of unchecked ambition
that is condemned. 1t is not claimed
that the man who kills himself at fifty
by unremitting labor has done it by too
much physical eXertlOn. He has done it
by aSSlduOuS mental solicitudes without
break or reaction, and the neglect of the
conditions of health which that absorp-
ton of thought and strain of the feelings
imply Spencer's criticisms were leveled
at the want Of regulation and of a correc-
tive in the shape of systematic relaxa-
tons that shall give more contrast in life,
and greater freedom to the play of agree
able feeling, in place Of vexatious solicit
tudes which spring from devotion to
work. To say that it is not overwork
that kills, but the Worry that is entailed,
is merely to bubble with the subject.
Sir William Gull might as well have de-
clared that he had never known a case
OF death from cholera or consumption
because it is the lack of power in the
constitution to resist these diseases that
is really the cause of death. 1t is only
by such caviling that the notorious fact
can be evaded, that thousands Of men in
this country sacrifice health and life to
the passionate eagerness of business pur-
suits. Every observing person can give
examples within the sphere of his own
acquaintance of such premature break
downs by the score. Prof. E. l.. YOU
mans, in Popular Science Monthly.

Famous Song Writers.

AN OLD NEGRO MINSTREL TELLS OF FOSTER
AND NELSON KNEASS.
Samuel $. Sanford, who is known as
the father of negro minstrelsy, is brimful
of recollections of Foster and other song
writer's of this country. The old end man
was met the other day by Philadelphia
reporter, who found him just in the mood
for talking. cone thing I've got to say is
this said he, as lie tilted back his silk
hat, placed his thumbs in his vest arm
holes-''l think that too much is thought
of Foster and too little of Nelson lIneass
Why shouldn't the author of music that
sinks into the heart Of a people be
thought of just us much as the writer of
the words to which that music is attach
ed v? Henry Russell knew what he was
about when he gave prominence to the
music OF his songs and kept back the
name OF the authors Of the words. |
don't believe he ever wrote line of
poetry in his life. His Ship on Fire his
Newfoundland Dog his Maniac,' his
'Woodman, Spare that Tree were all
written by somebody else than himself
The last mentioned was written, as YOU
know, 10y Morris, one of our good old
American sentimental writer's 70 come
back to Foster and Nelson kneass-by
the way, although Nelson has been dead
these many years, poor fellow, his wife is
still alive and actve-Foster owed his
first introduction to the public to Nelson's
generosity. Nelson had written a lot of
songs that are now more sung by min
strels than Fosters. There's Jane O'Mal-
ley, a quartet founded on the death of a
poor young woman who was found in the
Hudson. Ben Bolt one of the most pop
ular in the minstrel repertoire, The
Miller Hold Your Horses, Wake Up,
Jake Nellie Was a Lady, 'Juniata
Johnson and, beside these he wrote
any number Of burlesques of operas and
sentimental songs. Away about 1915 it
used to be one of the attractions of min
strel troupes to offer prizes for conun-
drums and songs. In Pittsburg our COM
pany, in which Nelson was the musical
director offered a cup for the best song,
and Nelson wrote several himself, because
he was afraid there would not be enough
sent in to make a good public contest.
Foster sent in a sOng-l don't remember
now what it was-but the judges didn't
pick it out for hOnors, but pitched upon
one of Nelson kneass' Nelson went to
them privately and told them that he
had only entered in order to make a
good show, and that, in his opinion, the
cup ought to be given to Foster. This
was done. Foster got the cup, and after
that plenty of minstrel troupes came
along and asked him to write them songs.

A Description of Cowboy.

\ genuine cowboy is worth describing,
writes correspondent Of the Philadel-
phla Press. In many respects he is
wonderful creature. He endures hard
ships that would take the lives of most
men, and is, therefore, perfect type of
physical manhood. He is the finest horse
man in the world, and eXcels in all the
rude sports of the field. He aims to be
dead shot, and universally is. Con-
stantly during the herding season he
rides seventy miles day, and majority
OF the year sleeps in the open air. His
life IN the saddle makes him worship his
horse, and it, with a rifle and six shoot
er, complete his happiness. OF vice in
the ordinary sense he knows nothing.
He is rough, uncouth, brave and gen
erouS creature, who never lies or cheats.
1t is mistake to imagine that they are
dangerous set. Any one is as safe with
them as with any people in the world,
unless he steals horse or is hunting for
a fight. In their eyes death is mild
punishment for horse stealing. Indeed
it is the highest crime known to the I'M
written law Of the ranch.
Their life, habits education and neces-
sites breed this feeling in them. But
with all this disregard of human life there
are less murderers and cutthroats grad
uated from the cowboys than from among
the better educated classes of the East
who come out here for venture or gain.
They delight in appearing rougher than
they are. To a tender foot, as they call
an Eastern man, they love to tell blood
curding stories and impress him with
the dangers on the frontier. But no
man need get harmed unless he commits
some crime. They very often own an
interest in the herd they are Waiting,
and very frequently become owners of
ranches. The slang Of the range they
always use to perfection and in season
or out of season. Unless you want to
insult them. never offer cowboy pay for
any little kindness he has done or for a
share of his rude meal. If the changes
that are coming to stock raising should
take the cowboy from the ranch its most
interesting feature will be gone.
