FAIR EVILS.


Games OF Chance and ThImble-Rig
Tricks--DisgracefuI Practices.
Apart from the evils frequently at
tending the award of premiums, which
have been frequently referred to in these
columns. there are other evils that
tend to greatly mar the success of. the
fairs and render their benefcent in
fluence almost nil. We refer to the
various games of chance and thimble-
rig tricks by which the fools and their
money are so quickly parted, and to the,
alas! not infrequcnt disgraceful prac-
tices which characterize the horse trot
1t is desirable that fair managers every
where be made to feel that they are re-
sponsible for any disgraceful practice
or cheating game tolerated on the fair
grounds; and that unless the moral at
mosphere that permeates the fair is
wholesome, the fair, however successful
it may be from purely commercial
standpoint, is for all that failure.
There is something quite incompatible
between low pursuits and vicious con-
duct, and improved farming and stock
breeding, and it is the latter our fairs
are established to encourage. The
family feature is good one, and should
be encouraged at all our fairs. Good
shade, good water. plenty of grass, the
absence of anything to attract any low
or vicious persons will give to the
amusement side of the fair the whole
some, natural characteristics of a basket
picnic, where fun need certainly not be
lacking, and where the instruction de-
rivable from it may be enjoyed by young
and old without alloy.-National Livt

American Flour in Brazil.

Brazil buys from the United States
$1,000, 600 to Sc, 900, 600 worth of flour
in year. American exporters, when
flour is cheap, as it is now, occasionally
send large increased quantities, and ex-
pect that market will be made for it.
Its cheapness, however, seems hardly
to make difference in the quantity con-
sumed. Some thirty thousand barrels
month are consumed at Rio and its
dependent markets, and it seems almost
impossible to increase this consumption.
At Rio the bread is all made by bakers;
it is of good quality and is eaten by all
classes.
The great obstacle in expanding con-
sumption is the lack of internal trans
portation, and the fact that the mass of
the people have never been accustomed
to use flour, they being satisfied with the
flour made from the manioca root, and
which they habitually eat mixed with
their stewed black beans and dried beef.
A large part of the interior population
produce and buy, but little. They live
in primitive manner, in cheap dwell
ings with matched roofs and earth floors,
sleep in hammocks, use but the scantiest
articles of furniture, and even convey
their food to their mouths with theiy
tingers.---Phiiodeiphia Press.

youth, with a careless glance of pity at
the young ladies, who of course could

venient. "T'm glad you remember it,"
said the old gentleman, with animation,
'for I've clean forgotten it. Now, il

Fascination of Mining.

An old '49er says OF gold hunting:
'It's the fascination of it. Lor', man,
when you've struck it pretty rich and
can see yer gold right in front of yer;
when you're piling it up every half hour
o the day, with nugget now and
again as big as bullet to cheer you,
and then when the evenin' comes and
you count it up and find a hundred odd
dollars just picked out O. the earth that
day-well, there amt nothin' like it.
Then when you don't strike it rich you
always think you're going to next day,
an it's just as excitin' hearin' other
men tell in the eyenin' what they pulled
out as it is countin' over your own.
Why, I've been three or four months at
time without making dollar, and
without cent in my pocket; but gee
whitaker! the excitement Of it dom
give man twice to think how hard ur
he is. "-EGchange.

LARGE WAISTS.
Compressure n Sin Against Humanity and
Its Maker.


Compressure a Sin Against Humanity and
Its Maker.
Women who have the livings to earn
must encounter severe competition, and
they will never receive consideration be-
cause they are women. They must ex-
eel in order to be successful. Excellence
implies sstrength-not spasmodic, nerv-
Gus strength, which makes an effort
once in a while, under extraordinary
pressure, but the strength which can
turn off daily work without excessive
fatigue-the strength which leaves the
eye still bright and the step elastic after
long day behind the counter, over the
sewing-machiue, at the desk, at the
easel, in the kitchen, in the school-room.
Such strength as this does not go with
q small waist. From the nature of
things, it can nevertheless it has been
pointed out in exceptional cases-be
found in women with small waists.
Strong back and abdominal muscles
muscles which can do their work with
out the deadly props of steel and whale
bone now so universally worn-a large
digestive capacity, u Iaplu anu ulleliy
unobstructed flow of the blood in the
veins and the arteries-these are some
of the requirements of health and
strength. And these things take up
room. In most women God has given
room for these organs and their pro-
cesses, but it is reduced and contracted
in order to make the waist appear
small In the name of honorable labor;
of healthy and happy infancy and child
hood; of intelligent, high-minded wo-
manhood; of everything that is beautiful
and worth having for women in this
world, we plead for the scorned, the
condemned large waist. Give your
body room. 1t is sin against humani-
ty and its Maker to compress your waist.

THE THAMES.
Estimating tho Volume OF water within
Its Banks.

Estimating tho Volume OF water within
Its Banks.
Besides number OF other interesting
details about the river Thames in and
near London, the evidence taken before
the royal commission on sewage dis
charge gives in a tabular form some
new information respecting the quantity
OF water which comes periodically over
the weir at Teddington. Observations
were carefully taken during period Of
about seventeen months, from juno,
1888, TO October in last year-a and tho
results are recorded in n report which
shows exactly how the volume of water
varies from time to time, according to
the time of year and the abundance of
rainfall. The smallest amount found
to have flowed past the weir in one day
was 213, ,000,00 gallons, which was all
that came down on the 25th of August,
last year. But the average for the latter
half of the month was barely 250, ,000,-
600, as compared with about 450, ,000, 900
for the corresponding period in the pre-
vious year. The differences between
these figures and those which are re-
corded in other parts of the year is very
remarkable. The highest volume OBJ
served to pass the weir was 4,187, ,000,-
600 of gallons on the 9th of November,
1883, but the daily average for that
month was under 1000. 000 600, though 1t
was considerably higher than the total
for any other month included in the OBJ
servations. The effect of sudden down
pour is seen in the record for last June,
when after about fortnight, during
which flow of water past Teddington
had been well under $4,000 cubic feet
per minute, it rose at once to over 100,-
900. The drought of last autumn is, of
course, clearly traceable in the returns.
The average for October, for instance,
is scarcely 800, 900, 900 of gallons, where
as in the preceding October it was reck-
oned at close upon 1000, 900, ,000.-Lon-

A letter to the London Standard de-
clares that black beetles-the ordinary
domestic beetles-when properly dressed
form "a most delicious condlment. /"
Here is the recipe for beetlepast; "Uatch
your beetles in soup plate filled with
vinegar, and keep them soaking for six
hours. Then turn the beetles out and
dry them in the sun for at least two
hours, when the outer shell can be easily
removed, the flesh then resembling that
of shrimp, to be put into gallipot
and mixed up with flour, butter, pep
per, and salt, TO thick paste; stew In
the oven for two hours, and when cold
serve with bread and butter,"

A Cats, Head.


The Connecticut cat is continually
doing queer things. A few nights ago
a Norwich Conn. young man dreamed
that he was struggling with burglars
and awoke in cold perspiration. He
listened and thought he heard a stealthy
step coming along the veranda roof
under his window. The football snd-
denly stopped, and was followed by a
sharp clinking sound, accompanied by
sncezing and spluttering. Silently the
young man slipped out of bed, got his
revolver from the bureau, cooked it,
and went to the window. Suddenly
throwing open the blinds he thrust his
weapon out, prepared to kill burglar.
Instead of a midnight robber he saw a
black animal crouching on the roof, one
end terminating in a stiff, erect tail and
the other in something that looked like
small stove-pipe. 1t was cat with
an empty condensed meat can on her
head. She had found it in the yard,
put it on, and she couldn't get 1t of.
During the night she had awakened hall
the families in the village humping the
can against doors and windows and We.
randa roofs. Each family supposed
they had to do with burglars.
