Ir is reported from New York that there
is a growing sentiment among its citizens
in favor ofa fair being held there. whether
Chicago finally secures the MSld's Fair or
not. This, however, may have lbs origin en-
tirely in the feeling which exists in New
York against the great city Of the West,
which has been the successful competitor
for the international prize So far. The New
York papers still denounce "the uniaiE de-
vices and the false representations by which
Chicago won "a narrow victory in the
House." but it is not improbable that the
success of Chicago was due, not only 90 the
large Western vote in Congress- AN West

site Of the Fair, but also to the prevalence

The remarkable statement is made rec
gardng the free circulating library 0i New

10 circulated last year only eleven books

bic showing of the genuine interest which

every prospect Of a still more enormous ex-

Tie Healthful Fast.

Weeks before the appearance of more
alarming symptoms dyspepsia for instance
announces its approach by an unmistak-
able want of appetite. That demand for
temporary suspension of the aliment-
ary process asserts itself on various occa-
sions, but never without due cause. In
the crisis of certain diseases it means
that the organism needs all its available
strength for process of reconstruction,
as general would recall his foraging
parties on the eve of decisive battle.
In sultry weather it means that one Of
the functions of alimentation, viz, the
development of heat, has already been
overdone by other agencies. During the
enforced indoor life of rainy seasons it
means that for want of exercise the di-
gestive organs have become clogged as a
mill with grist and cannot take any more
contracts until the arrears of former en-.
gagements have been settled. One fast
day would generally suffice to set mat
ters Alright, and it is good plan to de-
vote such days to occupations that will
help to divert the mind from the sug-
gestions of the meal hour. At night fa-
tigue will negotiate another eight hours
respite, and the next morning the sto1n-
ach as well as its owner will be ready for
breakfast. The ancient lawgiverD who
went so far as to make periodical fast
day religious duty knew what they
were about. t.-Ame,ican Rural Home.

The Coming Fur.

An Englishman, after returning from
the north and northwest of this CONT
nent, told the writer the following: II
have had good deal of healthy exercise
and pure air in the bagging of a very lit
tie game among the prairies and noun
tains. The experience is we'll worth the
trouble, of course, but this vast land is
settling up so rapidly that globc-trotters
must so elsewhere for good shooting at
big game. Not buffalo did see, even
in the widest parts of Wyoming, till I
got up into Manitoba. There I saw
herd of partially domesticated buffalo,
about thirty in all, owned by the warden
Of the pcnitentiary of Stony Mountain,
about thirty miles west of Winnepeg. OF
this number only dozen are of pure
blood, as their owner is crossing the
breed with hardy race of long horned,
shaggy-haircd, Scotch Highland cattle,
the result being a rusty little beast of un-
certain temper and indifferent beef, but
with wonderfully long. fine, glossy and
thick hair all over the body. This hy-
brid is practically seli-supporting, save
for the need OF little hay in the depth
of winter, and is destined, the owner
thinks, to supply high priced, beautiful
and durable pclt at trihing cost, to re-
place in part the once common but now
vanished buffalo robe.
