HARRISBURG, June 30. - Executive
Commissioner A. B. Farquhar, of the
Worlds fair managers, through cir
cular sent out, calls attention of the
farmers of Pennsylvania to the fact that
without their aid Hon. John A. Wood
ward, assistant executive commissioner,
will not be able to gather such an ex-
hibit Of cereals as will do Pennsylvania
justice ut the Worlds fair. There is an
impression abroad that the old Keystone

charge regarding illegality and conspir-

of the document is the denial of an an.

Courtshsp IN China.

A curious custom prevails at Huay-
ning-hsien, in Kwangsi. On the fif-
teenth day of the first month in each
year all the young ladies and gentlemen
take a walk to the Yen-yen mountain.
Each damsel carries little box, which
she deposits at the foot of the hill. Any
young gentleman desirous of entering
the bonds of matrimony may select one
of the boxes and take it away with him,
whereupon the fair owner of the box
makes herself known and an acquaint-
anceship is thus formed. III assorted
matches are not likely to occur, as this
custom is observed only among the well
to do classes of society.-Schnitzel und
