Mr.. Leach, the superintendent of the
poultry department, states that moth
Ing has been left undone to make
that department a complete success,
and the number of fine breeds of do
nestle, game and pet fowl that will
be on hand will be something unus-
ually great.
Mr.. Lingan writes from the north
western portion of the state that the
interest in the fair, is very great in
that section. Almost every one
knows all about it and almost every
one has good word to put in for 1t.

the damage cannot even be estimated,

Today's Weather Report,
Sermon: THE Value of Witness.

The Rev. JuniuS b. French preached
an able sermon yesterday at the First
Presbyterian church to large and appre-
ciative audience. The context of che
witness is one who affirms to facts which
obtain credence in the degree of the wit
ness credibility. Christians are wit
nesseS of the truth and value of their re-
ligion. and by their testimony, is the seed
sown and the harvest reaped. 1t may be
good seed or poor seed that the Christian
SOwS in the course of his daily life, and
the value of his testimony would be
gagged by the harvest it produced. 1t is
the Christians privilege and duty to live
such life that will testify to the great
truth of Christ, and lead others to happi-
ness and eventually carry Christ crucited
to the uttermOst ends of the earth.

TESTING THE COINS.
How Uncle Sans Assayer Gets the
Average Metal of Silver
Dollar.

How Uncle Sans Assayer Gets the
Average Metal of a Silver
Dollar.
From every fresh lot of silver dol
lars made few are sent to the gov
eminent assayer at Washington for
testing, says the Washington Star.
Weighing is but q matter of scales,
but it is decreed that the dollar, for
instance, must be exactly nine-tenths
silver, the remaining tenth being
copper, and variation of not
more than one and half grains in
the quantity of the noble metal is al
lowed. First the silver dollar has to
be rolled out thin in a machine, be-
cause when the coin is made the sill
yer in it has tendency to 60 toward
the middle, so that the metal on the
outside Is not so fine as within. But
the assayer must discover the aver
age fineness of the piece In order toas-
certain just how much silver there is
altogether In it, and he does this in a
very curious way.
He passes the thin strip of metal in
to which the dollar has been rolled
through little continuance operated
by a crank that is turned by the
hand. The strip comes out punched
as full of holes as it can be, while
hundreds of small circular disks
about the size of gold quarter fall
out of the holes thus made into a
tiny box below. Next the disks are
taken out of the drawer and mixed
up; a few of them are taken from the
lot, and they, Representing the aver
age of silver, are subjected to chemi-
cal analysis.
