rhe WORK. UneauaIlr plrIdea.

The evolution of the church fair is an
interesting study. Time was when it
meant collection Of useless manstrosi-
ties sold at abominable prices. To-Day it
caters as carefully to its buying public
as any tradesman, and offers the induce
ment of bargain counters to it's clientele.
But it is still mountain of labor to q
few persons, and az the season of fairs is
again in full tide, the desperately busy
and-much-p1t-npon fair woman is ubiq-
uitous. Said one Of them day or two
ago, enjoying well earned rest at the
emf of four days contamination of
six weeks effort:
"The trouble with church fairs is all
with the unsystematic and feather
Drained women of the congregation.
They are jealous without discretion ard
enthusiastic without purpose. They
promise more than they can possibly
perform, and perform infinitely less tn n
they might have promised. Somebody
says one-third of the world is overbur-
dened doing the work that the other
two-thirds does not do, which is about
the proportion of effort in fair co a.
mittee. They say we women have
learned much in late years of syste n
and business methods, but one has only
to serve through fair management to
discover that most of us are still in the

Faste.t Pos.IbIe RalIroad Tlme.

An English magazine, The Engineer,
submits statements to prove that eighty
miles an hour is the highest possible
speed, giving the following arguments
to prove its point:
Because no greater velocity has ever
been attained.
Because of the resistance of the air.
Because of the back pressure in the
cylinders.
Because of the amount of power
which must be lost in imparting violent
motion to masses of metal which can
make no return when coming to rest.
Because of the swinging of the en-
gine; the excessive vibration of its
parts, the jar and concussion all oper-
ating to keep down the speed.
Because of the extraordinary retard-
ing influence of very moderate rising
gradients.
Because of the coupling rod-''it ap-
pears that coupling an engine tends to
keep down the speed"

Ex.rnoralnAry Fire Precautions.

Meringen, the Swiss village which has
just been destroyed by fire, met with
similar misfortune in 1879. Since that
date, a native Of the village tells cor
respondent. the precautions against fire
have been extraordinary. Whenever the
wind blew from a dangerous quarter
smoking was forbidden, and at dusk,
with few exceptions, all fires We're or
dered out; the village smithy was stilled,
the bakery ovens had to be dainped
down, and the shops would then be be-
sieged with customers anxious to buy
what bread they could, The reason for
this was the extraordinary destitution to
which the inhabitants were reduced
after the last fire, and fears are enter
tanned that the consequences may be
equally disastrous now.--Pall Mall Ga

Might Have BROKEN ais Neck.

Mr.. James Ritt, citizen of Dinwid-
die county, residing near Sutherland's
depot, had a very narrow escape from
death day or two ago. While out
hunting he shot and killed squirrel in
a large tree. In falling the squirrel
lodged in one of the branches. AS the
tree was too large to climb, Mr.. Ritt
climbed up small one near by and
went out on one Of the limbs to dislodge
the game. The limb broke, aud the un-
fortunate man fell distance of twenty
or more feet, catching by the head in
the forks of q saphng beneath. The sur
prise Is that his neck was not broken or
dislocated, but he escaped with dislo-

'H|'A- A"NE+"| ANN7""A
While John Chapman was in here
from his Wyoming ranch he told of n
thrilling experience his wife had recent
ly with four silver tip bears-a she bear
and three cubs. John was away from
home at the time.
After eating an early supper Mrs.
Chapman stepped outside Of the kitchen
door intending to place pan of milk in
an outhouse. She had just closed the
door Of the kitchen, when looking up
she was confronted by four bears, all mp
on their launches and within few feet
Of her. She screamed and rushed into
the house aud told the hired man the
cause Of her fright and assisted in find
ing the cartridges for rifle that stood
handy, and then sank into a chair ex-
hausted and helpless, while the hired
man made an attack ON the bears, kill
ing the old one and two of the cubs.
When Mr.. Chapman arrived he found
bis wife in an alarming condition, her
nerves being at such tension that he
feared she would go into Mysteries.
That night she complained of hearing
the bear screaming outside, and finally,
TO satisfy her, John got up, and, taking
his gun, went to the door, where, sure
enough, was the remaining bear stand
ing out in the cold and whining and
screaming for his dam. The cub lit out
for the brush when he heard John COM
ing, but in the morning the dogs were
turned loose on the trail, and young
bruin was gathered in to complete the
family.
The cubs were fully half grown silver
tips, and averaged over 1S0 pounds each
The she bear was big one, as large as
cow.-Billings' Gazette.

How Diamond Smuggling Is Prevented.

How Diamond Smuggling Is Prevented.
Most of the diamonds that are now
annually added to the worlds stock of
precious stones come from the South
African fields, and great Sums of money
are invested in the industry. Expert
miners can tell instantly the good from
the bad stones, and many of them
make desperate efforts to sInuggle the
precious gems out of the mines. To
prevent such "a robbery every miner is
compelled to strip and put on different
clothing before going into the mines,
and then at night time he is examined
and washed all over before he is al
lowed to leave the place.
For long time they smusgled the
diamonds out of the mines by hiding
them in their ears, hair and mouth,
and some of them even ventured to
swallow the more precious ones. But
such a perfect system of vigilance is
now kept up that this work is generally

A story is going the rounds apropos
of Lord Clanwilliam, the gallant and
genial admiral who was so greatly re-
sponsible for the successful reception of
the French fleet at Portsmouth. One
sultry night Lord Clanwilliam was
peacefully smoking his pipe outside his
house in Belgrave square attired in a
somewhat free and easy suit, which at
tracted the suspicion of watchful po-
liceman. The latter, accosting Lord
Clanwilliam, inquired, what are you
