Charitable Fair in Switzerland.

After dinner we went to the vente, or char
liable fair, which the young ladies of the
town were holding in one of the public build
ings. 1t was bewilderingly like the church
fair of an American country town, socially
and materially. The young ladies had made
all sorts of pretty knick knacks, and were
selling them at the little tables set about the
room; they also presided, more or less allur-
ingly, at fruit, coffee and ice cream stands;
and-I will not be sure, but think-some of
them seemed to be flirting with the youth of
the other sex. There was an auction going on,
and the place was full of tobacco smoke,
which the women appeared not to mind A
booth for the sale of wine and beer was set
off, and there was a good deal Of amiable
drinking. This was not like our fairs quite;
and am bound to say that the people of
Aigle had more polished manners, if not bet
ter, than on country town average.-W.D.

also to distribute these savings in small loans

eminently safe and successful in both re-

of these subterranean villages Of the dead is
closed by rolling stone"-a rudely cut
disk. perhaps a yard in 6isrnster, standing
on edge in an inclined groove which runs
deep cut, from one side Of the doorway to

stone is rolled to the left. and a small wedge

When the wedge is removed, the rolling
