Nail Biting Among Children.

The subject of nail biting among chill
dren is well worthy consideration. M
Berillon, French doctor, has been dl
recting his attention for some time past
to it. He finds that the habit or disease
is extremely common. In a public
school in Paris out of 265 pupils exam
ined during the month Of April last 6S--
that is to say, nearly one-fourth--were
addicted to biting their finger nails.
Curiously enough, results vary greatly
in different districts and in different
schools in the same districts.
It seems that girls are more given to
the habit than boys. In one girls school
In the department of the Yonne II out Of
81 were confirmed nail biters. In anoth-
er girls school the proportion was 81 out
Of 27 pupils, and of those 81, is were
found to be in the habit of biting the
nails Of both hands. and the others of bit
ing only those Of one hand. M. Berillon
recognizes that nervousness has much to
do with the habit

The lPemberton mills at Lawrence,
Mass, will not start up next Tuesday as
announced.
There will be ten per cent reduction
in wages when the Cocheco mills at
Dover, N. Fl. start up September 9.
Fall River manufacturers say that
when money is little easier they will
run the mill if the operatives will help
bear the loss, but a strike will not help
matters.
Nine hundred men employed in the
shops Of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad have struck against ten per
cent reduction. The engineers, 1remen1,
conductors and brakemen, it is said,
will not accept a cut in wages and this
means that the entire system of 1000
miles will be tied UP.

In the Many Quaint and Interesting Scenes
at the Gray Fair.

In the Many Quaint and Interesting Scenes
at the Gray Fair.
The second day of the Gray fair was
ushered in with bright skies, and it
proved highly successful.
During the forenoon it was the ideal
country fair. Catchpenny shows OF all
kinds were thore, and more quaint sights
than Dickens could have described in a
whole page Of this paper.
The French band of Westbrook, "a
pieces, discoursed good music. There
was bicycle race on the track, and in
side the farmers were exercising their
cattle at trials of strength.
The Bicycle Race.
There were three starters in the bicy-
Gle race, and they drew positions with
Small first, Holland second and Martin
third The wind was blowing quite
fresh Small took the lead, and made
the half mile in 1.25. Small won in
three minutes and quarter of a second.
Martin was close second, and Holland
third.
The Races.
The perfect weather brought forth one
Of the largest crowds ever seen on the
grounds of the Gray Park Association.
The trials of speed were the green horses
and 2.S5 classes. The judges in the
stand were the same as on the first day.
The first race called was the class for
green horses. Eight starters appeared
and drew positions as follows: Janet,
George T., May Stanwood, Dan Pilot,
Atkins Dictator. Hattie Wilkes, Glen
arma and Daisy S.
After the usual amount Of nlannu-
wiring in getting a start, Janet, a @amey
mare by Black Rolfe, won HE first heat
in 2.45 3D., with Glenarrna, u son Of Glen
arm, good second.
" The next heat was taken by Glenarna
after q close and pretty race, and the
game little Rolf mare Janet pulled into
third place, the field having been well
thinned out by the drawing Of May STAN
wood and Hattie Wilkes. They got down
to 239 IA. which was very good for
green horses, meaning horses that had
never trotted for money. The summary:

Though all days are trottiag days at
the Cornish Fair, there is pretence OF
devoting two of them to other objects.
The second day is supposed to be sur
rendered to the women. This year
they make fine display in the hall of
the product of crafts peculiar to them
or in which they excel. Housewifely
arts, needlework, the dairy and all are.
represented. Nor are the accomplish
ments neglected, as sketches in crayon
and oil. and many bit of fancy work
bear evidence. 1t is in MANY respects
the most interesting department of the
fair.
In the hall, too, are the displays of
fruit and vegetables and of dairy and
agricultural implements. The drought
| has done away with good deal of the
fruit, but some fine specimens are yet
oxexhibiton, and of course the corn
stalk, taller than Jacks bean-stalk, and
the corn-trace longer than the moral
law, are there. These we always have
with us.
At1o'clock sharp, the fun began--fun

dirges or triumphal airs as fitted the oc-

place as Judge was filled by Mr.. Frank
