Fairs OF North China.

Northern China is the country Of fairs.
In any given district there is a constant
succession Of large gatherings ct which
It Is not uncommon for as many as TO-
600 persons to be congregated. The fairs
are sometimes called the "poor man s
market" for the great display Of second
hand clothing which the owners wish to
dispose Of
At Techou aud at another point on the
Grand Canal there are annual fairs held
from the beginning of the twelfth month
TO the fifteenth day Of the same month,
at which there is a great display Of for.
eign goods, especially woolens, sold ct
cheaper rates than at other times. This
is called the fair of the grain feet, sud
is one Of the products of the vicious sys.
tenn Of grain taxes. About 400 vessels
arc annually employed for Transporting
the Shantung grain tax to Tungchow,
near Picking, and upon their return these
vessels bring large quantities of goods
from TientSin, which are sold at the
fairs. While some Of the fairs are held
at times rigidly fixed and never varied
most OF them are wholly uncertain as to

FASHION NOTRs.

The high Empire belt Of folded velvet
is now fancicd on heavy cloth long coats
OF cloaks.
Among the novelties are mink, Astra-
khan and Persian lamb for E.ou jackets,
open in front and sleeveless, SO be worn
over cloth and velvet dresses.
The once popular figaro or zouavc
jacket has now rival in the loose jacket,
made with a deep cut at the neck,
and mostly worn opsn, aud hanging
loose.
To produce the desired flare on the
outer umbrella skirt, Partisan modistes
have resorted to the use Of steel hoop,
introduced into the ben Of the Under
skirt
Brocade velvets are seen ia scroll, run
ming vines, and flower patterns, coming
in two shades Of the same color, and are
to be used in combination With silks of
Ill kinds.
The black woods are so varied and
beautiful this season that even In all
black a gown may be snowy. Many Of
the black gowns, however, are trimmed
in colors.
Lovely toilettes Of creamy magnolia
white crepe dc chine are made in Empire
fashion, with pulled sleeves OF rose.pink
velvet, and skirt aud bodice.trimmings
Of cream white Venetian lace.
The going-away pelis,e is one of the
very newest outside garments for
bridal suit. 1t is of cheyiot, lined with
changeablo silk aud trimmed with bands
Of curled ostrich feathers. It is gath
cred at the waist, both back and front,
and encircled by girdIe in which all
the colors are combined.
In some OF the hats the brims are cut
up at the back 10 two places aud the part
curved upward like comb. The trim
ming Is merely a wide-spreading bow Of
some fancy ribbon, with a full aigrette
set up smartly in front. A black felt
hat in this style had light blue and
black fancy striped ribbon bow, with a
pale blue aigrette in the mid lie. It was
most fascinating shape.

THE MEDIEVAL YOUNG LADY.

The medieval young ladies learned
their lessons with their gover1ess, prac-
ticed their lutte, went 20 church every
morning, embroidered chasubles and
altar cloths, and worked wonderful hang
ings for the cold stone walls. And there
were from seventy to hundred yards Of
ueedlework in a set Of haugings. They
could also spin fine silk and linen, and
ornaments with needeworlS, their feast
day wells and dresses. The less inter
csting forms Of sewing were LEFT to the
army Of tire women and waiting women,
who attended on the noble maideus and
their LADY, They all knew how to ride
aud fly hawk, to make wreaths and
posies, to sing, to play, to beguile the
long hours with chess, ric-rac, draughts,
and the youngest Of them began to deal
and shuttle the new-invented "naype5"
or "naibi, the first playing cards.
They could pluck or brew virtuous
simpes, bud a broken limb, or nurse a
fever. They could amuse the convalescent
with endless tales of the Round Table,
with the legends Of Charlemagne, and
with the lives Of the saints no less inter
esting and romantic. Most Of them could
read aloud some novel Of Cleomade5 or
Nelusine. They must, I think, have
been blythe, charming, capable COM
paaions in the long winter Of a lonely
country house. Ga the whole with its
constant uudercurrent Of chivalry and re.
ligiou, theirs was an education which

A Gigantic Skeleton. s.

Workmen in clearing the right OF way
for An extension OF the tram road for the
Yellow Pine Lumber Company, near
Colmesniel, Texas, dug up al immense
beech log, under which was found hu.
man skeleton, the bones of which were
only partly decomposcd. The skeleton
was that Of a man OF gigantic frame,
aud the skull was cleft as II with tom.

merous flint arrow heads were found be.
side the skeleton. The spot where the
discovery was made Is ak miles from
ColmesnIel, on the Trinity River, In the
immediate Vicinity where history says La
Sale, the great explorer, was slain when,
with few of his followers, he was max

CATION will be made to determine, II
possible, whether the bones are those of
some Indian warrior or possibly OF one

The Desert Burro Superseded.

A prospector now in Yums, aud who

The silverites ara asking what benefit
. vil result from The repeal of the silver
purchase act 81 the sherman lawl Soua-
. tor Stewart. Of Nevada in an interview
in Washington a day or two ago said IN
substance, that the issuing OF 5000 900 or
S4Uu3,u0O of silver certificates each month
could not have brought about the pres
cent financial troubles, and that in his
opinion the financial condition of the
country would not be improved If the is
suing of these certificates were stopped.
What is now needed more than any
thing else to bring about better condi-
tion Of affairs is confidence. As soon as
confidence is restored money will circu-
late freely. The banks will not be ap-
prohcusive of unexpected demands upon
them and they will be liberal in loaning
money. Those who have money boarded
will seek to invest it,
But why, it may he asked. will the re-
peal of the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman law tend TO restore confidence2
Because there is very general belief
that the purchase Of silver by the COVER
ment has caused the loss of conf
ututc. Long DeIOEe LHc emu or LnGt mar
risson administration the opinion began
to be expressed that the increasing volume
of silver notes was driving gold out of the
country and that the government would
not be able to maintain its policy Of keep
ing silver on parity with
gold. European holders of Ameri-
can securities began to be
apprehensive that they would have to ac-
cept their interest in d deprecated cur
rency, and they began sending their
bonds to this country to be sold. The eff
fort to keep the gold reserve above $780,
100000 failed, and the fear that the gov
eminent would not be able to maintain
gold payments increased.
Ifthe law authorizing the buying of sill
yer is Internationally repealed there
will no longer be feeling that the gov
eminent will not be able to pay its obliga-
tons in gold. People will not insist
on having clause placed in
their contracts that money due them
shall be paid in gold, as the silver Senator
Stewart is said to have done. They will
have confidence in the currency, and
the country will quickly recover from its
present business depression.

wide margin between the price Of

wheat.
The New York sun prints an interest
ing article showing that for a number of
years there has been a steady decrease in
the wheat acreaReof the world in the
proportion to the increase in population,
but Notwithstanding the decrease in the
acreage the wheat production for 1891
and 1892 was far above the average. The
yield per acre was so great that it more
than made up for the decrease in acreage
The wheat crops of 1891 and 1892 were
so enormous that there was a big surplus
on hand when this years wheat began to
come to market. 1t is estimated that at
least 10, 900 600 bushels of old wheat are
now held by dealers This surplus has,
of course, some effect in keeping down

The Chinese Six Companies and at
torney Riordan do not know a good thing
when they have il. They mean to appeal
10 the United States supreme court to re-
consider its recent decision on the Geary
exclusion act The decision was rendered
by less than a full bench, Justice Harlan
being in Paris at the time Heretofore
the court has consented to reopen and
consider points in decision given by less
than a full bench, and upon this fact the
attorney for the Chinese bases his hope
Of rehearing. AS things stand at
present the law, though upheld by the
court, is virtually dead letter, in so far
as deportation is concerned, because
there is no money to carry it into effect.
But if Attorney Riordan and his clients
persist in agitating the matter and at
tempting to upset the law they may sue
coed in bringing about a full bench de-
cision sustaining the law and a congress
sionaI appropriation to carry it into effect.
Their better policy, it would seem, would
be to copy the diplomatic department OF

A Society Heroine.

The Four Hundred Of New York is
happy; or at least it should be- For it
has a brand new sensational heroine
from among the ultra fashionables
who constitute its component parts
Now, one heroine more or less ordinarily
does not make much difference with the
Four Hundred. Almost every day brings
to the front some person in the ordinary
walks of life whose demonstration of
self-sacrifcing bravery makes him or her
worthy of especial note. But these every
day exceptions interest the Four Hundred
very little, if at all. They are in another
set, don't you know, and the exclusives
could not, for propriety's sake, afford to
make much of their performances.
But when society finds within its own
| ranks wealthy married beauty who, re-
gardless of her own ignorance of the art
of swimming and Of the fact that salt
water is not conducive to the elegance of
an afternoon toilets loneliness, is ready
| to spring to the rescue of the richest
| young bachelor in America-why, that
is quite another matter. Society is at
! liberty to set her upon a pedestal; and it
ought to.
But, of the story: One of the features
of George Vanderbilt's place at Bar Har-
Dor is his private swimming pool. In this
pool, the other day, the young millionaire
was making fun for his guests by per-
| forming all sorts of natatorial tricks.
| Among the delighted observers-ofc course
! all the observers were delighted with
| everything their host did-was young
| Mrs. Charles Dodge, formerly Miss Bige-
! low. After turning cartwheels in the
water for some time, young George went
down to the bottom and forgot to come
| up. Taking in the situation in a moment,
! Mrs. Dodge, who cannot swim a stroke,
sprang to the rescue. Somehow George
| found out she was there and seized her
and presently they We're both hauled
| out by Messrs. Sloan and Shepard two
! young heroes who had been awaiting a
| favorable opportunity to prove their her
oism. Mrs. Dodge, very naturally and
| very deservedly, received the congratu-
lations and praise Of the company for her
| bravery; and those who had no. the
| pleasure of getting their dud5 wet, in an
| effort to save the life of the millionaire,
| dampcded them with Il tlov Of Joyous
| tears.
