CmcAao, June 3.-What the attend.
ance ut the Worlds Fair might have
been to-day had 1t not rained, no one
will ever know, But it rained and it
rained hard nearly all afternoon and to-
night and the number Of admissions
was less than GO,0OO
Tho second Sunday OF thefair dawned
bright and it was uncomfortably warm.
Tho railways, surface and elevated, and
the steamboat lines brought out their
entire service in anticipation of an i'm
mense business, but they were disap-
pointed, Up to / o'clock they did a fair
business ana carried upwards Of $4,000
people to the White City. About that
hour an ugly, threatening black cloud
arose in the west and in less than an
hour later the rain was falling III tor
rents. 1t was after o'clock when the
rain ceased aud the sun came out again.
but it WAS SO late that the people did
not come out in crowds and late this
evening the bureau of admissions esti-
mated tls attendance would be less than
$1,000,
wpREINdMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
This much may be said OF the visitors
who attended the fair to-day; They
were largely Of the working class and
inhabitants of Chicago. There wore
thousands OF laboring men out with
their families, and nearly all OF them
brought their lunch with them, and at
noon the benches and seats scattered
throughout the grounds reminded one
OF basket picnic. About the only
people who came out to-day were those
who could not attend during tho week.
Another thing that was noticeable, the
pay shows on the Midway Plaisance
we're not we'll patronized and the roll
ingchairs were scarcely used at all. 1t
was crowd made up Of people who had
to work for living and could afford
few OF the luxuries.
The machinery hall was crowded
pretty much all say, so too were tho
fine arts building and the manufactures
building. Nearly all the eastern states
buildings were closed to the public,
while the majority Of the buildings
erected by the western and middle
states were open. Tho open air con-
Certs in the pavilion on administration
plaza were we'll patronized, especially
towards noon, when the people
throngod thither aud ate their lunch
and listened to the music at tho same
time. Krup's big guns were handled
in tho pavilion on the lake front ut ]
o'clock exactly as they would be hand
led in service except that they were not
fired.
THE STATE BUILDINGS.
\ The result OF an investigation shows
the following number of people regis
tered at tho different state buildings:
Montana, 3,OOOj Nebraska, $500; Min

One of the prevalent errors among
our farmers is the supposition that
growth of sorrel, and other plants of
an acid character, indicates an acid
condition of the soil. Farmers should
know that all these vegetable acids
are the result of the assimilating pro.
cess by which. the plant gets carbon
from the air. The vegetable acids are
of carbohydrate origin, and come
from the air, and NOT from the soil.
The application of the so-called acid
phosphates to the soil has nothing 10
do with the appearance of sorrel. The
prevalence of sorrel indicates either an
impoverished condition of the soil, or a
state in which the fertility present is
in an unavailable condition. The ap-
plication of lime is useful, not because
it sweetens, but because it brings
about changes in the soil that render
plant food available,-.-Practical Farm

During his trip he met young Esqui-
maux girl, with whom he fell in love,
and DR.. Cook thus describes his love-
making and the subsequent marriage
ceremony: GAS soon as Manahasee
was attracted to the girl he asked her
parents to give her to him. They
were willing if she was. Manahasee
then, according to Greenland custom,
instead of telling her that she was the
most beautiful creature under the sun,
said to her, Observation-Disclosures" which
means, "You smell good to me-" If she
had run away it would have signified
that Manahsee must seek elsewhere for
wife, but she did not, she repeated,
"Mahmakdochsoa," and the couple
rubbed their noses together in the
presence of the girls relatives That
concluded the ceremony and, according
to the custom of the country, they were
married for a probationary term of
three months. AT the end of three
months the groom is compelled to re-
turn the. bride TO her parents and not
to see her for year. If at the end of
a year he desires to claim her she must
go to him. If he does not care to
claim her he is free to desert her and
he is not thought to have done any
thing dishonerable. 1t is, however,
very seldom that an Esquimau deserts
the girl he has once rubbed noses
with.
Among many other relics that DR..
Cock brought back with him are the
mummified skeletons of an extinct
race, disenterred by his party from
their ancient graves at Omanok ford.
The entire contents of the rifed<graves
were packed in cases and are now in
Brooklyn awaiting scientific examina-
iton.

Notes for Women.

Be sure that the coffee pot is clean If
you want good coffee.
Housekeeping can be made much
easier and enjoyable than many make
it. 1t requires order and system.
Have place for everything and
train every member of the household
to put things in their assigned places.
The mother who does not train her
daughters to be neat, orderly, house
keepers, does the children great
wrong.
Try the white OF an egg for burns or
scalds. 1t is also recommended as an
antidote for poisons of corrosive ma
ture. In such cases it is taken inter-
nally of course.
Mothers and sisters, treat the boys
of the household so they will feel
while young, what they will realize
when too late, that home is the best
place on this earth.
Home is the last place where criti-
cism, should be made. The world
chides and stings enough with its
criticisms, and home shold be place
of retreat from such things. ..
A housekeeper says that insects may
be destroyed with hot alum. Put it
in hot water and let it boil until the
alum is dissolved. Apply hot, with a
brush, and all creeping things are in
stantly destroyed without danger to
human life or injury to property.
In canning, a writer thinks that the
housekeeper should bear in mind that
there are few kinds of fruit that are
not improved by sugar, because it
fixes the color and flavor and gives
much finer results. Some kinds of
fruit require but little sugar for this
purpose, while others are poor indeed
without sugar.

Women in Greenland.

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the returned
explorer, tells Brooklyn Eagle rep
resentative of some curious customs
among the inhabitants of far-away
Greenland.
Unbecoming as is the costume of
those northeners it is graceful and be-
coming as compared with their GUS
toms, if all the stories told about them
be true. They never wash, their
clothes are worn from generation to
generation, and their general habits
are indescribable. When Peary and
followers washed their faces in melted
snow the natives thought it relig-
ious ceremony and stood silent in
amazement. When, from seeing the
operation performed several times,
they began TO understand that it was
an everyday occurrence, they sum-
moned their friends from far and near
to witness the sight. There is but
little difference between the dress of
the men and women of the North.
The woman's hood is separate from
the coat, which hangs loosely in the
back to afford resting place for her
papoose. The papooses wear no
clothes at all. When the mothers
hood is in place no breath of air can
touch the little one, The skin coats
hang to the thighs. The mans trous-
ers reach from the knees to the edge of
the coat, where they fit tightly. They
are not fastened in any way, and if
the wearer leans forward or backward
he exposes his flesh to an atmosphere
that would freeze white man. From
the knees down the legs are protected
by long boots of sealskin. The trous-
ers are made of the skin Of tho polar
bear, and are practically indestruct-
ible. One pair will last a man life
time and will then serve for younger
generation. The woman's trousers
are much shorter than the mans and
the boots she wears are proportion
ately longer. The boots are made of
sealskin with the fur dressed off. A
pair of them will last about four
months. The women make the shoes
and other clothing and in fact do all
the work. The men hunt and fish and
sleep. The method of dressing the
seal and bird-skins is effective if nasty.
AS soon as an Esquimau takes off his
boots his wife proceeds to soften them
for him by chewing them. The shirt
of aux or eider-duck skin contains
from 100 to l50 skins, all of which
have to be chewed into condition and
then sewed together with gut. A
shirt will last eighteen months before
it falls to pieces, SO that with
sewing and chewing shoes and shirts,
the time of the women is pretty well
occupied, without any allowance for
the manufacture of stockings from
the skin of the arctic hare. DIR. Cook
has native made quilt of eider-duck
skin, for which he was offered $400.
When the white men first reached
Greenland they were as much curl
osity to the Esquimaux as the Esqui-
maux were to them. Manahasee, of
one of the most northern tribes, walk
ed 200'miles to gaze at white man. |

My informant thought it was pretty neat

the autograph he asked for, and to add an
extra flourish by way of good measure.
The trouble with the banks at this mo-
ment Is that they are crazy to ger the re-
peal bill through the senate before the re-
acton, which is setting in, takes possession
OF the public mind to the exclusion OF the
Sherman law bugaboO. The argument now
is that prices are going UP and business

repeal Of the Sherman law; but it would

Sherman law would be repealed. 1t OGgnt

some imagination to put himself in the place
of the eastern bankers. Should business
begin to boom and prices to go up, with
the Sherman law hanging fire between the

bankers would be in very bad fix indeed.
They would never forgive Mr.. Voorhees,,

PEARY HEARD FROM.
He Is at BOwdoin Bay, West Greenland
Scarcity OF Dogs

St. Johns n f., September 5.-The
steamer Falcon returned TO this port this
afternoon from Bowtloin bay, west Green
land, having successfully accomplished the
landing of the Peary expedition at that
place. The Falcon left here July 10Th
ssouud for Labrador to s1vlrchase dogs

She arrived at Batlle harbor ON the 18th,
crllised along the Labrador coast, meeting
with but indifferent success i'll the pur-
chase of dogs. After getting only twenty,
She left Labrador on the I'D. She arrived at
the Greenland coast on the 18th. -Four
donkeys belonging to the expedition perish
ed of exposure. The Falcon sailed along
the coast of Greenland, getting the balance
ing necessary because of the loss of the
donkeys Altogether, the party got eighty
seven dogs. AT Cape York, peary got
five native EsqulnauX to assist in caring
for the dogs and to 90 general work. The
Falcon arrived at her destination on Au-
gust 3D.. She started on her return trip

used by the last expedition had been torn
down and used for various purposes by
the natives. \ whole colony living on
Englefeld gulf moved near Peary to remain
with him during HIS stay.
The Falcon made Il good passage, and
arrived here without injury. The north
ward passage was unaccompanied by any
special incident. All the party We're we'll
