1t is certainly to be hoped that the worlds
fair site question has been finally settled.
The directors of the fair have reaffirmed
their former decision and the fair is to have
a dual site-a part being on the lake front
and part in Jackson square. 1t would
have been much more satisfactory if site
had been chosen that would have permitted
the placing of all the exposition buildings
close together. By the present arrangement
that part of the fair on the lake front will
be six miles from the part In jackson park
Somehow or other Chicago doesn't seem to
be making much progress with the fair. Her
citizens are as wide apart with respect to
many things connected with the fair as the
two parts of the site. They must get to-
gether and act tremendously and energet-
ically il they want the fair to be a success.

Those Scriven county democrats who en-
dorsed Hon. Thos. NJ. Norwood for senator
the other day GO not expect him to be elected
to that position, doubtless. They merely
wanted TO compliment him. Gov. Gordon is
being Endorsed for senator in all parts of
the state. Even the congressional conven-
ton Of the Seventh district Endorsed him.

The Saxton ballot reform law, that was
adopted by the New York legislature few
months ago, was given a trial in village
election at Far Rockaway last Tuesday, and
it gave very general satisfaction. 1t did
not work very smoothly at first, but when
the voters got little more accustomed to
it there was no trouble. Those who have
been nominated for the legislature in this
state ought to give the Australian system,
and notifications of it, careful thought,
with the view of deciding whether it would
not be advisable to Introduce it into this
state. 1t is probable that the Australian
system would work we'll in this state. 1t
seems to b, popular in Tennessee, where a
modification of it has been adopted.

Endorsed him, as did also the mass meeting

ire SHARKS HABITS.
The Fish Is n Great Coward In the Pre-
euce of Living Men.

The Fish Is n Great Coward in the Pres.
ence of Living Men.
The author Of f"On Blue Water,n q man
who had sailed much on tropical seas and had
many opportunities for studying the nature
and habits Of fish, treats the common be-
lief that the shark is a man-eater as q
superstition. Man does not have his dwell
ing in the water, and it is only rarely that,
by accident or design, he exposes himself
to the attacks OF the shark. It is not
likely, therefore, that he was intended to
be the natural and preferred food Of the
fish. The writer referred TO above SAYS
chat he had never conversed with any one
who had seen living man attacked by a
shark. He gives an amusing account Of q
meeting between a black sailor and a shark
which makes it appear that this fish is a
great coward in the presence of man.
His ship, an English one, was lying in
Bombay harbor. An enormous white shark
lay sluggishly on the surface of the water
only few feet from the ships side. The
sailors were making such remarks as "He's
got his eye on US for supper" and when
this opinion was doubted, they challenged
the incredulous to put a foot in the water
within the sharks reach.
A negro made bet of a pound of tobacco
that he would jump into the water Just as
ue was Inc OeJ was taken; and, without
removing any of his clothing, the man
jumped from the rail plump upon the mon
ster's back The fish was large enough to
have swallowed two men, but his fright
overcame any longing for human flesh. The
narrator says:
II have seldom seen any thing so scared
rs that shark was; he plunged of, half his
body out of the water at times, leaving a
wake like paddle-boat behind him which
could be traced for three or four hundred
yards where he dived, and never showed
himself alongside our ship again"
This instance would, perhaps, be met with
the objection that sharks show a prefer
ence for white men to feed upon. This
common notion has been adopted from OBJ
serving that the colored South Sea Island
ers spend much of their time IN the water,
wholly indifferent to the sharks which swim
around them. If the shark is really partial
to white victims, he plobably selects them
from sight, not from taste.
When the shark gets taste of human
food, he no doubt experiences unusual de-
light, and from that time on is a ferocious
man hunter.
The case is much the same with the
shark as with the tiger. Not one Of
thousand of either of these creatures stands |
any chance Of ever tasting human flesh, |
and before having done so they both stand |
in mortal fear Of the face of man.

where she could find the proof-reader. She
was white and red by turns, and spluttered

How Long Time Tins Oscillation Extra

The case of the Florida man who had his
love letters produced and read in court
should teach other lovers moderation in the
making of osculaiory contracts
In a single postscript the Florida man un-
dertook TO deliver to the lady of his choice
no less than ], 900 100000 900 kisses. And as
such contracts are not lnfrequenuy made In
love letters it may be well TO give a thought
to the magnitude of the undertaking, says
the Boston G obe.
Whoever will take the trouble 10 figure it
out will find that, even if this amorous
Southerner should give The lady 5000 kisses
a minute (and we affirm that no person
could hope TO do more than that, and even
IL he could keep up this rate OF oscuation
TIVE Ity-four hours day, never pausing 10
eat, sleep or take breath, working 365 days
every year, it would take him more than
100 years 20 complete the contract. And
by that time, it is painful to reflect, the
ardor Of hIs love may have cooled. Even at
the end OF 100 years, counting 1900 kisses
minute, there would remain an unde
hvered balance of more than 10000 000, 900
a number which in itself might we'll appall

The Cause Of the Farmers Poverty.

The history of American farming
for twenty years is, in brief, that as
the area in cultivation has increased,
so has the product per capita, to be
followed by overwhelming prices
and diminishing returns per acre.
If, in the period ending in 1874, with
cattle supply of 81 to 100 people,
the supply of corn less than 25
bushels per capita, that of wheat
and oats less than 65 bushels, and
the domestic consumption of pork
IS pounds for each inhabitant. all
the requirements of the people for
bread, meat, spirits, and provender
were fully and promptly met, it is
quite apparent that, estimating
consumption per capita as fifteen
per cent greater than then, the
present supply of beef is sufficient
for II ,000,000 people; that of swine
for 10000, 900; of wheat for 79,000,-
900; of corn for 20, 500, 900; and of oats
for more than 100000 600. The
logical conclusion from the evidence
offered, is that the troubles of the
farmer are due to the fact that there
are altogether too many farms, too
many cattle and swine, too many
bushels of corn, wheat, rye, oats,
barley, buckwheat, and potatoes;
too many tons of hay; and too great
a production of nearly all other
farm products for the number of
consumers.-Writer in Forum.

The teaching of Christ, the spirit
Of christianity, seem to me very
simple. They are that duty is love,
that life is service, that every man
is my brother, that God is the All
FatheI, and that he is cleansing,
purifying, educating, developing,
perfectiTg his children for more
harmonious life to come. We be-
ieve that Jesus Christ is the Son ol
God, because we believe be came
from God, because in him there
was, without dimness or darkness,
that light of God some ray of which
trembles in the darkest heart and
life. We believe that he is the
Savior of mankind, because we be-
lieve that through him mankind is
coming to know God, to receive
God, to live in and with God, to
become sons of God. The Christian
spirit is the spirit of loyalty to
Christ; making Christianity not
merely our creed, but our life; maxi
ing our own duty love, our own
life service, our neighbor our
brother, and God, our
Father, and finding in him the
power to live this life of love and
service which we believe is endless
because it is divine. This faith
wrought into the life of society
would put an end to its discords;
wrought into many christian
household has made of them types
Of what all society might b come,
if il were recognized Oh the simple
but radical principles of the Sermon
on the Mount. 1t Is the comfort of
the sOrrowing, the strength of the
tempted, the peace of the tempest
tossed, the purifier of the sinful,
the upholder and perfecter of the
unfinished and immature. If one
who does not know whether this
faith IL true or not attempts to take
il from the world, he should coll
slider seriously whether he has some
thing better to bestow in ils place.
