A simple way to ascertain whether a
sample of petroleum is dangerous or
not has been recommended by chem>
ist of considerable standing. An ordi-
nary tumbler is filled two.thirds full
with the oil. While filling up the re-
naming one,third with boiling water a
flame is held over the vessel. If the
vapor which rises takes fire the test in.
dicates that the petroleum is not safe
to be exposed to the atmosphere.

The Nashville Spirit of the Farm
says the value of orchard grass is just
beginning to be appreciated by the far
mers and stock breeders of the State.
For constant pasturage at all seasons of
the year, it is superior to timothy, clio,
yer or blue grass. The crop just har-
vested is the largest ever grown in the
State, and in some instances extraordi-
nary quantities of seed have been gath
cred to the acre.

OUR FAIR.

We have good words on all sides for
our recent county fair. The newspapers
did US proud. The St. Paul Globe sent
Mr.. Barrett here to report, and he gave
the fair good notice of nearly two col
umns, which was true. every word of it.
Tho following is quotation from the
Minneapolis Tribune, which paper also
had reporter present:
The grounds are bounded on The south
westerly side by magnifcent oak grove,
in which the stock pens are built, and in
which the heated crowd find ample room
for seeking the comforts of shade. The
great centre of attraction for the crowd is
the main building, called Floral Hall, in
which the great extent and variety Of ex
libits fills everyone with surprise. Besides
the creditable displays of the local mer-
chants, there is a magnificent display of
fruit and vegetables that can scarcely be
rivaled in the West. 1t is a loss to the
State Horticultural Society to not be able
to show this fruit at it's meeting in Min
neapolis on Saturday. It is hardly pro-
bablc that finer looking corn was ever
raised than that on exhibition. The ears
measure from fourteen to sixteen inches in
length, and are IF magnificent proportions.
The art department. shows some very
pretty and valuable work, and the display
Of textile fabrics is very fine. The entries
of agricultural machinery are liberal, and
are made by the local agents. In the live
stock and poultry departments the entries
are exceptionally large and fine.
The Moscow correspondent of the Al
bert Lea Standard last week also gave us
the following handsome notice:
The Mower county agricultural fair was
asuccess financially. The display of fruits,
flowers, vegetables, &C., was as good as
at the state fair. OF horses, cattle; hogs
and sheep the display was splendid, and
especially that of the colts, which for
blood, size and number, was far in excess
of the same at the state fair. The baby
show, an attraction of Tuesdays program,
was attended by great many fine babies.
The fair as whole was credit to South
ern Minnesota, and Mower county in par

July in this vicinity, owing to the APP
pearance of Burr Robbins circus and me-
nagerie. The tenting shows which come
with warm weather are empatically the
great popular form of amusements in
America, and more people patronize the
circuses in year than all other forms of
entertainment. There are 90 circuses
travelling in America this year, and among
them that of Burr Robbins stands in the
front rank, as satisfaction giving show.
Its menagerie is extensive and excellent,
it's dual circus is replete with arenlc won

parade is very fine indeed. It is a show
that advertises what it has and shows

Prof. w. H. Licb. of St. Paul, closed
his labors in this city with a concert at
the Universalist church Friday evening.
The weather was rainy, and the attend
ance was consequently small. Had the
evening been pleasant, we are sure the
church would have been crowded. Those
present enjoyed the concert as they have
not enjoyed Il musical entertainment in
Austin for years. The singing by Prof.
Lieb and his assistant, Miss Williams, was
superb-almost perfection-at least SEEM
ed as near perfection as it is possible to at
tain. The Prof. s trained and cultured
tenor, and Miss Williams full, round
rich soprano, of bird like sweetness, made
music worth u days journey to hear.
We regret that Prof. Lieb's class of in
struction was not more literally patron

sure him better success if he ever makes
Austin another visit, which we trust he
may in the near future.
His work is of the highest educational
and instructive value, not to be mention
ed in the same age with what is usually
termed musical convention ;" it is
where children and parents may receive
that which shall insure the protection
and conservation of the child voice dur
ing the years of change or mutation, and
where the adult singer, reader and speak
er will get those principles that will in
sure constant improvement in the earlier
years of life, and prevent premature loss
of the resonant, musical quality in
later years, and nobody-parent,c child, or
adult singer, school teacher, preacher, Or
ator or elocutionist--should fail to attend
his lectures, even if but one or two of the
sessions can be attended, for there are
many persons in every place where he has
lectured and given instruction, that de-
clare one session to have given them full
value for their time and the tuition. The
small fee charged is simply nothing COM
pared with the benefits to be derived.
