Most Of the older folks were in the vicinity
OF the cattle and poultry exhibit. This was
really fine. All the known varieties OF bulls.
COWS, steers, heifers and calves were penned
up. Sheep, meeker than the legendary Moses,
watched the visitors through mild eyes, while
pigs abtrusively poked their shouts through the
pens and longed for feeding time. There was
an amazing amount of lard in the aggregated
porcine exhibit One of the most attractive
pens i'll that quarter WAS the one in which was
female porker and twelve little grunters. 1,
was apparently happy family.
In the poultry coops were chickens enough
to undo the effects Of ten days colored camp
meeting, and there were boys enough around
the place to keep every chicken, duck or goose
in state Of excitement from morn till night
A couple OF rabbits were continuous sufferers.
for every one passing thought it only duty to
poke through the wires little something for
them to eat utterly regardless of the we'll
established fact that rabbit has not the diges-
tive apparatus of an ostrich.

with huge canteloupes, abnormal potatoes,
hydrocephalic cabbages, thirst-provoking
watermelons, and beets that to reverse q COM
mon simile, were redder than Q drunkard's
nose. The display Of smaller fruits was not
especially good, the only frst-class specimens
coming all the way from Florida.
Upstairs there we're pictures and bicycles and
flowers and cakes and jellies and rugs and
quilts and tides and towels; pillows that were
called crazy and people who really were so;
their unfortunate condition being due to the
fact that several different kinds OF performers
were playing upon as many denominations Of
organ and piano at one and the same time and
all were evolving selections that were materi-
ally and mutually At variance In such minor
matters as dynamics and pitch. There were
two or three sewing machines run
ming in full blast, but the noise
they made was drowned completely;
nothing but high-grade threshing machine
could have made itself heard above the roar of
misguided harmony. "Annie Rooney" and
White Wings wrestled with each other,
while Gen. Grants Grand March" and ''where
Did You Get That Hat?' added their stately
cadences to the discord until superstitious
people, awe-strcken. awaited the resurrection
which they felt sure must take place in the
cemetery just across the road. There are some
things which even a cemetery will not permit.

By long odds the central feature Of the fair

Tho Professional Packer.

In Paris. that great city where all ones needs

Home Journal. there are professions for women
entirely unknown in this country. And one 10

You tell her what you want to take
away and then let her do her work.

OF tissue paper laid between them and the
sleeves are stuffed to shape with 1t; slippers
have their toes filed with raw cotton 30 they

and hats and bonnets have tapes attached ia
them so that they may be pinned to the box or

lift them out. This is the work for which a
busy or q rich woman will pay well
and a woman who becomes expert
at 1t can, in the going away time, make that
mysterious amount known as "a tidy little

house, takes of her bodice and assumes q loose
jacket and then she is ready for her work

When the bellies and beaus had examined
everything on exhibition in the barn there was
q pretty unanimous adjournment to the ice
cream booth. and at that place large stock of
human nature was visible pretty much all the
time. Lots of the young men would buy
everything their respective girls wanted and
were apparently pleased to have an opportunity
to do so, but occasionally penurous lover
would order q saucer of frozen sweetness for
his dear one and then stand aioof while she
ate 1t; said he never did like cream, anyhow
and he was always afraid that twas
poisoned: that il anybody else wanted
to take the risks he didn't care. Ono other
made his appearance, who was more econom-
ical and more boldly selfish. He purchased a
saucer Of cream, persuaded the dealer to give
him little more than the usual dose, tried to
beat her down on the price, and then picking
up two spoons sat down with his sweetheart
and allowed her to help him eat it,
attending the fair. Many pair of swans,
with arms and waists inextricably intertwined
posed before the camera Those who didn't
want their pictures taken could rid themselves
Of surplus cash by trying to throw base ball
through deceptively shaped hole into wait
ing but always empty barrel; there was money
in the trick. but the greenhorn didn't get any
OF 1t. The old ring and cane business flour
ished and SO did more than one other device
which had in them more elements of certainty
for the proprietor than OF chance for the
player. Rifle shots wasted their substance in
a proftless explosion Of gunpowder, but they

Arguing for Cannibalism.

From the New York Evening Post
A Catholic missionary has given US some
curious particulars Of the inhabitants Of the
Upper Oubanghi, an afiuent Of the Congo. II
is said that the boating folk on the upper
Thames will ''eat anything" but these good
people are much more particular; they confine
themselves to cannibalism. The attempts of
the missionary to dissuade them from this
practice revived one of Robinson Crusoe's AR
guments addressed to his man Friday, but they
were not equally successful The natives were
perfectly polite, but stood upon the firm
ground Of experience. When he said, Human
flesh il detestable," they replied, Pardon, dear
father, but what do you know about it? With
salt and spices it Is, on the contrary, delicious
They had a prolonged controversy upon thii
matter. When the good father pointed out the
difference between man and other animals
they admitted 1t at once, but drew a different
deduction: Man il the nobIer and therefore
the nicer"

A new phase Of the sealing difficulty has Just

While the Dominion government steamer Sir

A USE foR OLD SILKS.

A woman who has several black silk skirts
which gave out together, as entirely as the
deacon's one-horse shay, past hope of revival,
was exercised to find some use for the rem
nants. They would not bear quilting over for
petticoats, but she kept them by her till the
idea came to have them woven with bright
colors, as the silk scrap portieres are made. But
in place OF hanging them on the walls they are
to serve as . new sort Of bed covering instead
of quilts, being very light and almost as warm
as down comfortabies. A thin washing blanket
is laid over the sheet, then one or more OF
these woven scrap comfortables goes under
the spread, and light, deliciously warm cover
is the result. Handsome ones, shot in gold,
orange, russell and crimson-frayed wool being
used for coloring if silk is scarce, will answer
for lounge blankets. Many ladies will be
pleased with some sort Of use for WORKOUT
silk, hitherto most useless of materials. The
prettiest way OF making it useful, however, il
a tedious one. The scraps are oil Joined
frayed on both edges half an inch, and drawn
up by the center into Q thick fine chenille
very handsome for fringes or, if one ever had
enough Of 1t, for the cord draperies in door.
ways. One can hardly imagine how beautiful
the work il, or how elegant . door curtain OF
this sort can be.
