THE READY-MADE MAN.

Some sages of Hindustan,
OF eruditical lore,
Determined TO make ready-made man,
Which had never been done before;
All this, you know.
Was some time ago,
In the pre-historical yore.
So thay mixed their chemicals up
In a mighty porcelain bowl
And they stirred them up as you'd stir up a
cup
OF coffee or tea, on my soul;
Made hole in the batter
And set on a platter,
With carbon and salt in the hole.
These sages of Hindustan
Then poured the chemicals in,
Their phosphoric acid they poured from a
pan,
And their soda and gelatine;
With butyric acid,
To make the flesh aaccid,
And water and creatinc.
And they made the form Of a man,
Organically sound aud complete.
And they found, these sages of Hindustan,
No flaw from his head to his feet;
And one of their fellows
Blew air from a bellows,
And the man leaped up from his seat
They'd made the ready-made man,
But he was crazy and wild,
He howled like beast in caravan,
And then he cried like a child,
They put magnesia on
His left brain gauglion
To make him reconciled.
And this-it made him hum
Twas whitening flame to fuel,
And they took chloride of potassium
And mixed it in his Cruel;
Then he acted like fool
Who had never been TO school
His idiot groans were cruel.
Then carbon from the pan,
They placed beneath his crown:
Then he fought like John L. Sullivan,
And knocked the sages down.
Then the sages of Hindustan
They killed the ready-made man,
Who had done them up so brown.
My moral all may scan,
It's just designed to show
That the making of perfect man
Is a process rather slow;
The perfect fellow
Needs time to mellow,
And plenty of time to grow,

men left the house, feeling anything but
grateful to the uncle who they persuaded
themselves had cruelty wronged them.
But there was a modest little home that
was made glad by the news of Alfred's

money has brought blessing with it,
for it has been made fountain of good

FAIR PROGRAMME.

The new fair directory have out
lined their work and are merely
waiting for the old business to be
wound up before moving vigorously
for next years International exhibit.
The first thing in order of course is
the squaring of the old accounts,
that done, and it can not be done I'M
til the subscriptions already made
are paid in, the systematic carrying
out of the plans already considered
and practically adopted will follow.
These include three spcial
features. A hearty cooper
alton with all the fair enter
prises in the south especially with
the Dallas state fair association, this
cooperation to extend to arrangement
Of dates, racing circuit, exchange Of
county exhibits and such other coop
erative measures as will unite all ef-
forts in making each fair a success:
Making of San Antonio Fair pre-
emenently an International exhibit
enteresting if possible the cooperation
and endorsement of Secretary
Blaine for this International
features as one fully in har-
mony, apd directly in line with his
ideas of reciprocity with Mexico. To
carry out this work our state govern
ment will be importuned to use its
influence with the president of the
Mexican republic to make Its Mexican
exhibit more nationally representa-
tive than ever before.
A cordial cooperation also with
the Houston movement to represent
Texas at the Columbia exposition in
1892. To this and the work of the
San Antonio association will have
direct reference to that work of pre-
paration for Chicago exhibit of
Southwest Texas product in 1892, a
work that will tell surely upon the
whole development Of this section of
the state.
The work as thus outlined
should if successfully and intelli-
gently carried and give San Antonio
an interest in all other fair gather
ings, and all other fair gatherings
an interest in the San Antonio fair
not heretofore felt. This will
aIso yerv greatly facilitate the
advertising of the fair in its general
features end give it the benefit of the
advertising of all the other fairs in
the southern circuit.

Home-Nlade Basket.

Detroit Free Press.
There is a way to make good bask-
cts at home, and pretty and cheap,
too, out of corn-husks-thick outer.
husks for strong baskets, and for
lighter and finer ones the white in
Der parts. These must be wrapped an
hour or so in a damp towel, and then
cut into strips of equal width. Make
an ordinary braid with six or more
strips, which may be doubled, or
even trebled, for greater strength.
Thread needle with heavy, waxed
linen thread, and having dampened
the braid, form 1t into an oval, five or
six inches long and three wide, for
the bottom of the basket, and sew
the adjoining edges OF the braid to-
&c ther, as in q straw hat, but don't
overlap them. Go on coiling and
stitching for the sides of the sides OF
the basket, widening the opening
until the. basket is deep enough.
The handles are made of heavy.
three-stranded braid, which is sewed
all round the top of the basket just
inside, and looped at the middle Of
each side.
For ornament wind the handle,
with gsy-colored ribbon or braid
put box plating of the same around
the top and work bunch of flower:
on one side in bright worsteds, with
long stitches. The opposite side may
have letter or name.
