A American Fat Stock
~bOw.

The American Fat Stock, horse,
poultry and dairy shows, will open to
the public Nov 18th, 21st, next, at the
Exposition Building, Chicago. There
is every reason to believe that this
greatest of all shows of this character
will be successful this season, judging
from the number of inquiries concern
ing it, coming from nearly every por-
tiOn OF the Union and Canada. Already
applications for stalls and pens for cat
tie, horses, sheep and hogs are being
made to the secretary.
Nearly $12, 900 is offered in regular
and special premiums, which certainly
ought to attract a large exhibit in
every department. The Board of Agri-
culture is very much encouraged since
it has been definitely settled that there
will be no other horse show in Chicago
this fall, and are determined to make
the coming show pre-eminent success
as compared with any other similar
shows held heretofore under it's aus
pices.
A programme of special attractions
of unusual merit will be given, both
afternoon and evening, for the enter
tainment of persons not especially in
terested in the classification.

COURAGE.
What is true courage? People do

What is true courage? People do
not half know.
Two men facing each other, with
six-shooters, calmly and steadily
awaiting the signal to fire. Is that
courage? Some think it is, but do
not. I would not do it
An orator. standing alone before e
surging multitude, tearlessly utter
ing words which may goad them to
fury-such words as pants" for
instance. That is courage; but how
many think 1t?
But fighting men and orators, in
the matter of courage, are not the
peers of gentle woman.
Harry Earnlittle was engaged to
marry sweet girl who loved him
for himself alone. She had one
peculiarly among others, and this
was horrible superstition regard
ing the number thirteen. She
would never sit down to a dinner
table where covers were laid for
thirteen. She would never sit down
to a multiplication table that had
thirteen times " in 1t. She was just
as superstitious as that. She was
twenty-five years old, and had for
years refused to be twenty-six; be-
cause twenty-six is twice thirteen.
One day Harry, who we'll knew Of
this popularity is his betrothed,
came to her with dismay and hope
struggling to his countenance.
"Oh, Gertrude! Gertie! Oh, my
Trudy!" he exclaimed; is your
horror of the number thirteen as
strong as ever? Speak, darling! Is
it? Is IT?"
"What has happened, Harry {?
Tell me she cried, her face blanch-
ing slightly as something within
warned her not to answer the ques-
ton.
my uncle has just died" said
Harry, and-and left me thirteen
million dollars, and here hope
struggled with dismay again" and
l din't know but perhaps you would
want to break off the engagement"
She smiled like June morning.
Harry" she said "my own
Harry. When your happiness is at
stake I cannot falter :" and as she
took him in her arms hope ceased to
struggle with dismay forever more.

The Camera in Surveying.

A great advance has been made
in recent years in the application
of photography to surveying, and
the camera has been the means of
saving much expense and trouble
in the making of preliminary sur

often made at great cost by sur
veyors, prove Of no value, except
to show the projected line imprac-
ticable. The combination of the
two sciences obtains excellent re-
suits ut minimum cost.

A solution in which bronze pow
der is held in suspension for long
time has been patented in the Ger
man Empire. Damar resin is mixed
with one-thlrd Of dry carbonate of
potassium or carbonate of sodium,
and the mixture is melted and
thoroughly stirred together, and
then in thin layers is exposed for
several months to temperature of
40 degrees. The resin thus OBJ
tanned is dissolved in benzine freed
from all traces of acid by ammonia
gas, when varnish is yielded in
which the bronze powder remains
suspended. Articles bronzed with
the PREPARATION are said to retain
their metallic lustre for years.
