An old lady is said to have been asked
how to tell good indigo. Powder the

water, and if it is good it will either
sink or swim, have forgotten which"
1t was the same with Aunt Charity's
eggs.

The County Fair.

Two generations ago wax fruit and
hair flowers were in the line of ladyike
accomplishments what feminine wood
carving and house decoration are today.
Young women did embroidery and
worked samplers then. Today they row
boats, swim and practice with dumb
bells. Not one women in a million ever
makes hair flowers or waxworks in our
time. But the managers Of county fairs
have not found this out yet, and there
fore still offer premiums for these arti-
cles. We take the present occasion to
make the facts in the case known to
them. We call their attention to the
fact that the sewing machine does the
embroidery now. In place of the hair
flower business the girl of one generation
painted china, but the girl of represent
does not even do that any more. She
does not even roll her eyes upward
and whang a guitar. With tears in
our eyes we beg the county fair
managers to give that hair flower and
wax flower chestnut rest 1t certainly
deserves it. Let us lay it away with the
weeping willow and tombstone picture
and the samplers of the distant past.
Then there are the five cent prize
man, "every package containing a
prize" the brass jewelry board, the
miniature horse race, "cigars thrown
in," ETC., and the other devices whereby
the wretched fakir swindles the rural
boy out of his treasured nickels and
dimes. He would probably be arrested
in city street if he undertook his skin
game, but here he fourishes unchecked.
1t may be that the hair flower and wax
work business and the petty five cent
fakir have an important connection with
the progress Of rural civilization in this
country, but if so it is not apparent to
the unprecedented outsider.

A writer on education regrets the

leges that are scattered through this
country, especially in the west. But
what would we do without them? At
the June examination for Princeton
freshmen there were 535 applicants.
with another examination to be held in
September. The large colleges will not
hold all the students at the rate at which
they are swarming in, and it is well that
the small ones are here to catch the over
flow. Besides this, the more small col
leges there are the sooner and the more
clearly the somewhat hazy line between
the college and the university will be
drawn in America The small colleges
will be what they should be-feeders Of
the great universities.

Brutality to Live Stock.

By the efforts of the American agri-
cultural department, aided grandly by
the public press Of the country, the
cruelty practiced toward live cattle on
shipboard has been abated so that deaths
ofhapless beeves at sea have been reduced
from 10 per cent to per cent. Of the
whole number Of those sent across the
water. Thus SO, 700, 900 are saved yearly
to beef animal shippers and insurance
companies. American newspapers may
take due credit to themselves for this
happy result. But there is one class of
individuals still that laughs American
journals to scorn and defies American
public opinion. These are the British
captains of the live stock steamers. A
British ship captain, even of a crack
passenger steamer, is not noted for his
mercifulness and kindness Of heart, and
when it comes to dumb brutes the under
crust of brutality in the British nature
crops MP visibly and recklessly.
For some reason ship captains seem
singularly lacking in human feeling at
times. A man who would accept a
passengers ticket and then deliberate
ly carry him ashore, keep his ticket
and sail away without him. leaving
him penniless in strange city because
the man had consumption, would ap-
parently be guilty of any other brutal
ity. Yet such thing happened at New
York lately. Such men were born into
the wrong race. They ought to have
been red Indians, so their natural dis
positions could have had free play in
burning prisoners at the stake and in
plying tomshawks and scalping knives
Meantime 1t is agreeable to know there
is some prospect that the callous CUP
tains Of the live stock steamers will get
an overhauling at the hands Of the Brit
ish government. American live stock
men have brought to the notice Of the
queen herself statements Of the atroci-
ties permitted sby British captains to BE-
practiced on food animals in transit

Hungarian Railway Fares.

The zone system of railway fare col
lection has now been in operation in
Hungary three years. 1t was inaugu-
rated originally by the Hungarian
minister of commerce and railways, Won
Baross. Frequent mention has been
made of the experimentation Buda-
Pesth was taken as a center, how imagi
nary circles were drawn about it ten
miles apart, and every railway station
within one of the given zones all about
the city was reached for the same fare.
At the same time the railway fares were
reduced to about o1,s cent a mile, no
communication or return tickets.
Time sufficient has now elapsed to
sum up the result of the system. Travel
on the roads has well nigh doubled in
the three years. Although fares were
so reduced, yet the railway revenues
have been somewhat increased. This is
owing largely to reduction in expenses
Numbers of ticket agents and much
ticket stamping have been dispensed
with. The tickets can be bought at cigar
shops or places where stamps are sold
There are fourteen zones in the cir
cult about Buda-Pesth. The system has
proved so satisfactory there that in time
it will probably make its way with
modification into other parts of Europe
and into the United States. Its greatest
merit would be the cheapening of rail-
way fares, SO that poor working people
could live in suburban towns.

WAS A REAL HEROINE.
The Awful Test TO Which Her Lover
Put "a Pretty Girl.


Put Pretty Girl.
Two tall, graceful girls strolled slow
ly along the beach, earnestly convers-
ing. They were conspicuous in the
throng, and many an admiring glance
was turned toward them as they saun-
tered to and fro. The day was perfect.
A cloudless sky was reflected in calm
waters below, while scarcely a breath
of air was stirring.
The girl in the pure white blazer was
doing most of the talking
at is all very we'll" she was saying.
'to insist that you would die for the
man you love, but the actual sacrifice is
quite another thing"
The girl with the blue yachting cap
shrugged her shoulders.
"You speak," she observed, "Tlike one
who has made the sacrifice"
Il have the right so to speak"
Affecting recollections poured tumul-
tuously over the soul of the girl in the
white blazer. Her lips trembled and
the superb eyes bent upon the sand Of
the beach glistened with the dew of
gathering tears.
The girl in the blue cap smiled haugh-
lilly.
Indeed" she sarcastically retorted,
chow very interesting. And how does
it feel to actually die for the man you
love?"
Responsibility the girl in the white
blazer directed her gaze upon the girl
with the blue yachting cap.
"You shall not make light of it."
"Forgive me-"
For a time they walked in silence.
Both were deeply affected, the one filled
with remembrances of the past, the
other, her resentment gone, with wom-
anly sympathy
"Tell me about it, Ethel"
The girl in the blue yachting cap was
tenderly persuasive.

The Cremation Idea.

1t seems to be gaining favor in the
United States very quietly, but surely
There are now thirty-one cremation So
cieties in the country, most of which
have furnace and mortuary chapel Of
their own. The organizations are more
numerous west than east, and in the
north than in the south. In the south
there are only three cremation societies,
one at Louisville, another at st. Louis
and third at New Orleans, where. on
account of the swampiness Of the soil.
tombs for ordinary burial are built
above ground. California alone has
three cremation societies. The crema-
tionists are going to hold a national
convention of their own this summer at
cool, delightful Detroit, at the same
time Of the meeting of the American
Medical association. Then the quickest
and least disagreeable way of turning a
corpse into harmless smoke and ashes
will be discussed.
Up TO the present time nearly 800
bodies have been incinerated by the
New York Cremation society alone
since the beginning of 1886. One argu-
ment in favor of this method Of dispos-
ing of the dead is its cheapness, the cost
Of an average cremation funeral being
less than forty dollars The medical
profession throughout the country very
generally favor it for sanitary reasons.

Walter Besant says it is "almost safe"
to predict for the United States before
long such an outburst of literary genius
as England has not seen since the time
Of Elizabeth. Everything is favorable to
it; all the material and opportunity are
overfowing in rich abundance, waiting
only for the genius that shall touch
them into living beauty. Mr.. Besant
is right. The outburst that he talks Of
is in the air. Heretofore few great
American books have been written be-
cause there had not been time to fuse
our immense quantity of crude material
in the crucible of thought and work it
up into shining jewels. It is with our
literary work as with our mines, the
crude ore must be smelted and worked.
The preliminary work has been done:
now look for the flash of the jewels,
which is sure to come. The best and
grandest in all fields of human achieve
ment we are going to have in the United
States. The material resources of our
country have been conquered; now it is
time to turn to literary. artistic and so
cial ideals.

Poor Old Americas VespociusI In
all the magnificent preparations for our
4OOth anniversary there is none so poor
to do him reverence. Not a poem has
been chanted in his praise, not a statue
erected in his honor, although this
whole big New World was named for
him. Nobody is talking about him ex-
cept when once in awhile somebody
calls attention to his successful fraud in
palming himself off as the discoverer Of
this country. But there is one class of
people who ought to set up monument
to him, and the largest one that money
will buy, and that is the newspaper re-
porters. Why? Because Americas YES
pucius was the most successful fakir on
