REFORM IN FAIR MANAGEMENT.

A number of earnest writers are
working 70 change agricultural fairs
from the haryest-fields of swindlers
and drunkard-makers- in so
many cases they have become-into
Institutions having for their chief aim
The real good Of the agricultural inter-
2 csts. II is TO be hoped that so worthy
work will meet with unbounded sue
cess. In the hope of making both ends
meet, agricultural associations, includ-
;ng State boards of agriculture, have
too often made of the fairs they man
aged a means of gathering together
prey TO be robbed by confidence oper-
ators and other swindlers. Fortunate
y it can be shown from experience
hat agricultural fairs can be made to
pay expenses without resoriing TO the
questionable expedient of licensing
i'iunderers to ply their evil arts under
le sanction of the management. One
j stance in proof is furnished by the
Central Michigan Agricultural Society,
which has during the fourteen years of
is existence never permitted the SELL
iag of liquors on or near its grounds,
and has never allowed any confidence
operator 10 practice his tricks within
their jurisdiction, If il came 10 their
knowledge. The officers may not have
always waited 10 ascertain whether or
not their measures were strictly legal,
i'ut they very promptly hustled the
TENDERS off the grounds without cefe-
;iany. II there is in the State Of
Michigan, or in any other State for
hat matter, more prosperous and
respectable fair association than the |
one named the fact has not become |
generally known.
But, in justice 10 lard-worked and |
most deserving class of men, il should |
DC said that in too many cases, If not
in all, managers of fairs have by no
means profitable or agreeable task
when they try TO create and sustain
interest enough in the minds Of the
people TO make fair successful, finan-
cially and otherwise. Many fair has
left its managers with deficit 10
make up out of their own pockets,
and they have as rule found il ex-
tremcly difficult TO induce farmers and
townspcople TO give any considerable
aid in discharging such debt, even in
places where a liberal support can be
obtained for fair which is TO be held.
Managers may have done badly in
licensing gambling, the sale Of liquors
and other vicious practices ON their
grounds, but has there been, after all,
no excuse for their so doing? Ii is TO J
be hoped that, now that public opin-
ion has been so strongly expressed,
that there will be radical change in
this matter, and tina. hereafter no
manager of an agricultural fair viii be
found daring enough TO sanction the
admission TO The fair grounds of any
of the swindlers who have under the
wing Of agricultural societies preyed
upon the public sc long Chicago 7ri-
Juae.

New Cures.

There are fashions in medicines and
curative agents as well as in dress.
The virtue of hot water taken in the
early mornings, and at meals, is now
urged by many health reformers.
Raw meat is extensively used in con-
sumption and other chronic diseases.
The latest fashion in Paris is the
quafing of hot blood by weakly and
enemic young girls and women. They
drive daily to the slaughter-house to
have a cup of it, just as they would
visit "a spring at a watering. place:
Some of them take a bath of hot blood
once or twice a week. Certain fast
young men in New York go to restau-
rants, where they a procure a rare
tenderloin stake broiled and served
without gravy or any vegetable. At
some places machines are in vogue for
squeezing the blood, which can be
served with the steak. The hot-wa-
ter cure, by the way, is as old as Gil
Bias, for the treatment of DIR. San
grado was hot water and blood lettsng;
but the moderns drink blood, whereas
the physician of the seventh century
let it ont of the system.
