The Fairs of North China.

Northern China is the country of fairs. In any given district there is a constant succession of large gatherings, ut which it is not uncommon for as many as ten thousand persons to be cOHGrcTatcd. The fairs are sometimes called the poor mans market" for the great display of secondhand cloth ing which the owners wish to dispose of. At Techou and at another point on the Grand canal there arc annual fairs held from the beginning of the twelfth month to the fifteenth day of the same month. at which there is a great dis play of foreign goods, especially wool ems, sold at cheaper rates than at other times. This is called the fair of the grain fleet, and is one of the products of the vicious system of grain taxes. About four hundred vessels are annual ly employed for transporting the Shan tung grain tax to Tungchow, near Pellin, and upon their return these ves- sells bring large quantities of goods from Tientsin, which are sold at tho fairs. While some of the fairs are held at times ri@idly fixed and never varied, most of them are wholly uncertain as 70 time.-North China Herald.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
The Dead Body of Fair Haven w
 man Found in GuilfOrd.

The Dead Body of Fair Haven Wo-
 man Found in Guilford.
 The dead body of Hattie Crockett, aged 36, the wife of Wilbur F. Crockett of Fair Haven, was found in the woods in the northwestern part of North Guil- ford yesterday in a severely bruised con- dition. Last November a number of wood choppers camps were established m the woods in the eastern part of North Guilford, some miles from any habita- tion. Small huts were built and the choppers lived alone in the woods, some of them bringing their wives with them. In one of these lonely huts in the depths of the wood and over a mile from any human abode, Wilbur Crockett, with his wife and another man named Frank Kimball, went to live. It is said there was much jealousy between the men over the woman and that many bitter words were passed. Just how the woman met her death is not known. Coroner Mix is making an investigation. Peter Luchinni, a farmer employed on the Coe estate in -Meridep, while at work on a ladder yesterday afternoon slipped and fell distance of twenty feet. Both of hls arms, one leg and his nose were broken. Medical aid was summoned and he was made as comfor. table as possible. He will probably re cover,

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS.
Everything Put in in the Shape of Ad.
 verfIaenanfS

vertlsements.
 The newspapers here are largely sold by women, and the small newsboy of America is unknown in Berlin. Now and then you see a man selling papers, but the greater part of the circulation Of the journals is by subscription, and women always deliver the papers. There are many queer things about the newspapers, and few of the Berlin jour- nhls have large staffs of reporters. The local news is about the same in all pa pers, and no one thinks of trying to make scoop, as it is called, or to have the news in advance of his fellows. The editors of the morning papers leave their offices at nine o'clock, and the papers are on press at eleven. By twelve o'clock even the printers have gone home, and when Gen. Won Moltle dled at eleven o'clock one night some tune ago there was only one Berlin newspaper that had iine about it in its issue of the next morning. The announce ment of the death was published in New York and elsewhere in full, but the German newspapers right here at | home knew nothing about it. The | newspapers here publish items from their contemporary journals which | they should have had themselves, say | ing that the other paper says so and so, and there is no life in Berlin journal ism. The papers have not a very large circulation, and they do not make a great deal of money. The biggest of | them sells something like one hundred thousand copies, and this paper makes one hundred and thirty-seven thousand dollars year, and thinks it does wonders. Men who write for the papers are moderate- l ly well paid, and editors-in-chief get l from four thousand dollars to five thou sand dollars a year.
 | The Germans are good advertisers, and there seems to be no reason why the papers should not do better. Every. thing under the sun is put into the pa pers in the shape of an advertisement And there is great deal of social news that we publish for nothing which is put in here at so much per line. Engage ments are generally announced in the newspapers by the parents of the bride and also by the groom, and there are 6 | large number of matrimonial advertise ments in which men and women state I bands aud wives. Sometimes men ad vertise, stating they have daughter whom they wish to get rid of, and 1T one year there were four hundred ad vertiscments in one paper of person! seeking better halves. Marriages ar, also published in the same way, ant there is a fixed rate for births ant deaths. The Germans are very proud | of l,oy al, ;e |, expected that a son or a daughter vii make his or her appearance in tn
 newspaper columns immediately upol it's appearance in the world. There ar always numbers of death notices, ant

JEFFERSON'S HEAD.
The Famous Comedian Phrenolog-
 ically Considered.
Nature Has Been Kind to tho Genial 40 tor in Number of Ways-HiS Per sOnal.ty Is Unique and Hard
 to Classify.

A wcll-llnown phrcnologist has felt the head of Mir. Joseph Jefferson, the celebrated comedian, very carefully, and has given to the New York World the following results of his examination:
 In the first place nature 'has been very kind to the great actor in many ways. Few men either on the pinnacles of greatness or the plains of mediocrity possess an equally healthy and whole some physical and menta! balance. He has pcculiaritics, to be sure, and some that are striking, but they never sting. If he shows any quills they are covered with down.
 His personality is unique and not easy to classify in word. He probably inLcrits much of his dramatic ability from his English ancestors on the pa ternal side, but the influence of his mother, wh was of French extraction, is much more strongly indicated by the form of his head, and undoubtedly pre- dominates. This helps to explain his remarkable vivacity, imagination and many other qualities which are essen tially Gallic.
 He is feet 8 inches in height, weighs 155 pounds and has head lit tie above the full size, measuring 22 14 inches around the line of the hatband. His hair is fine and silllcn, naturally ot dark chestnut color, and his eyes are sky blue and very expressive. From these and other indications his temperament may be called the nervous-sanguine- that is to say, the brain, nerves and artcrial circulation are the most active clements in the organism, and impart to the character great enthusiasm, sym pathy, impulsivcncss and ardOr. with

Capital Clothing.

A capital idea and capital dress are worth entertaining. There couldn't be anything more enter taining than our clothing which makes all who wear our suits en- tertalning to themselves as well as to others. It pays to be enter taining and you'd better entertain an idea of sprucing up without de- lay. Our complete stock for spring and summer is now ready. Suits, Overcoats, Trousers, just the goods you want and at lowest prlces. We've got an immense stock for the boys this spring. Changes in our children's department have en- abled us to double this stock. Have you tried our RIGHTLY MADE Clothing? If not, try it this spring.

There are little shoes of big quality, and big shoes of little quality. There are shoes which it is a pleasure to buy, a pleasure to look at, anda pleasure to wear. That is one side of the case. The other side isn't quite as pleasant, for there are shoes which it is a mistake to buy, eXasperation to look at and torture to wear.

Yesterday 1t was better, with every In

largely make amends tor the dizziness
Of the past. This is as it should be.
Seldom have the retail stores been as

in all lines, is a most satisfactory one,
and a limited amount Of cash will go
much farther than ever before. A

in the variety OF goods shown, and a
