Fairs Of North Chlnn.

Northern China is the country OF fairs.
In any given district there is constant
succession of large gatherings at which
it is not uncommon for as many as H.
600 persons to be congregsted. The fairs
are sometimes called the 'poor mans
market" for the great display OF second
hand clothing which the owners wish to
dispose Of.
At Techou and 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 great display of for
eign goods, especially wcolens, sold at
cheaper rates than OF other times. This
is called the fair of the grain feet, aud
is one of the products OF the vicioussy
tenn of grain taxes. About 400 vessels
are 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
time. North China Herald.

A Gigantic Skeleton.

Workmen in clearing the right OF way
for an extension of the tram road for the
Yellow Pine Lumber Company, near
ColmesnieI, Texas, dug up an immense
beech log, under which was found a hu-
man skeleton, the bones of which were
only partly decomposed. The skeleton
was that Of man of gigantic frame,
and the skull was cleft as if with TOM
ahawk. An Indian tomahawk and nu-
merous flint arrow heads were found be-
side the skeleton. The spot where the
discovery was made is six miles from
Colmesniel. on the Trinity River, in the
immediate vicinity where history says La
Sale, the great explorer, was slain when,
with a few of his followers, be was max
ing his way back to the Illinois River.
The bones and the relies have been care

CATION will be made to determine, If
possible, whether the bones are thos, of
some Indian warrior or possibly OF one
of La Sales men. Chicago Herald.
