THE LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT.
NOTABLE DISPLAY OF HORSES
AND CATTLE AT THE FAIR.

The Most Important Exhibition oil
Its Kind Ever Held I'm This
COuntry-Facts of Interest About
American and Foreign Breeds of
Horses.
The exhibition Of live stock at the World S
Fair is notable in many particulars and must
be acknowledged to be, taken all in all, the
most important one ever held in this country.
It embraces, beside horses and cattle, sheep
and hogs, live stock appliances, incubators
and other of the high-class accessories of
model farms To begin with the horses,
says the Washington Star correspondent,
there is not a single breed Of importance
that has not some fine specimens. They
range from the heaviest shire. weighing very
nearly $500 pounds, to the most diminutiye
Shetland pony, which n strong man could
pick up and carry on his back-if 1t would
permit him to do so.
The Judging opened with a bunch OF SUI
folk punch horses. q breed hitherto almost
unknown in this country, although II IS one
of the oldest and best known OF English
heavyweight horses. The exhibit was not
extensive. embracing but four stations over
five years old. and four mares OF the same
age. DtHlut StNttNl iAAko anu 'pAe'- IN
horse came from Thorndale. Ontario. and all
the rest are owned in this country. Thetypi-
cal Suffolk punch is a large, heavily built
horse. very compact, with short neck and
legs The color is chestnut, and white feet
and "blaze face" are common. They are
especially adapted for medium draft pur-
poses. The two best Of the stations were
among the finest looking Of all the horses led
into the ring.
Following the Suffolk punches came the
Judging OF the Percherons, which occupied
several DAYS. There are sixteen OF these
horses. covering stations over five years old,
between four and five, under three. under
two and yearings. and mares OF the same
age. besides sucking colts. A good many OF
the Percherons come from Canada. but the
majority are owned in Illinois, Iowa, Michi-
gan. Wisconsin and New York. In the
awarding OF the prizes one farm secured
every first premium except in one section.
The whole display is quite remarkable, and
speaks highly for American importers and
breeders. It is hardly an exaggeration 10
say that not even In France itself can one see
finer specimens OF these princes OF draft
horses than are now shown at tho Worlds
Fair.
After the Percherons came the Judging OF
the Clydesdale and Shres, and among the
latter is the largest horse in the Fair, he OF
Q5OO mounds. For the benefit Of the unini-
tiated it may be stated that the largest horses
nre usually found among the Shires, the

Inc Work Cure.

A famous French physician, De Fleu-
ry, says that lola is exactly right in
declaring that brain work is the best
remedy for nervousness, sorrow and
suffering
We cannot reproduce his scientific
explanation of this theory, but some of
the examples mentioned by him will
lead our readers to look into the mat
ter and study it for themselves. Victor
Hugo appeared to be so much absorbed
in his work that he was considered
heartless OF man who would not be
moved by any sorrow. The truth is,
he was remarkably sensitive, and in
order to save himself from the torture
of his emotions he sought refuge in
work. In this way he preserved his
sanity and ut the same time gave to
the world masterpieces Of literature.
DE Fleury says that Hugos case
caused him to try the brain work cure
on his patients, men and women, who
were suffering from various forms OF
nervousness. He got them interested
in various studies and in correspon-
dence, keeping accounts and literary
work. In short time they grew more
cheerful. They we're contented dur
ing the day and sleep came easily at
night
The Frenchman has called attention
to a cure of great value. 1t Is one
that can easily be utilized without a
physician or without going to hos
pital or an asylum. Any nervous suf-
ferer whose mind is dominated by a
great sorrow has simply to devote HIM
self In earnest to productive and use-
full brain work and the result will be
complete cure. It is worth trying.

ten remark to the young soldiers, who
came to increase the ranks Thus his
army was an army of heroes, who
had no fear on the battlefield, but
who trembled in the presence of their
leader
The first campaign in which they
fought was at Albania, in the battle
against the rebel Greeks, and on that
occasion Mehemed's men proved them
selves efficient. 1t happened that
Mehemed one day ordered eight
soldiers to remain in ambush at the
GIVE fountains" of Arta, at which
point the Greeks were likely to open
their attack. They were to stop any
one who should try to pass by, and
they were strictly cautioned not to
dismount or fell asleep. The soldiers
executed with exactness all their in
structions.
A vehicle which attempted, toward
midnight. to cross the line unob-
served. was discovered and stopped.
The man who had charge of the oxen
ran away, abandoning his wagon. On
this wagon was a barrel 1t was easy
70 ascertain what the barrel contained,
even without dismounting and without
falling asleep. You only had to open
the bung-hole to smell the pleasant
odor of liquor escaping from it. And
il must have been an excellent liquor,
compounded largely of figs and dry
raisins. The Giaurri Christians un-
doubtedly knew what was good.
The soldiers had not been forbidden,
if they seized liquor, to drink it. And
really they did not drink directly from
the barrel; they merely sunk bull
rushes in it, through which they
slipped the sweet and Intoxicating
liquid. Was it not harmless to sip
with such thin rushes? One could
scarcely call that drinking But just
" does the Prophet remark that wine
is n deceitful beverage, in which satan
has had his hand, since this drink
brings men to every evil.
First, the soldiers asked each other
why they should sit in their hard sad
dies, when the grass made such a soft
bed on the ground And if they lay
there for only short while, nobody
would know it: they could tie the
horses to the wagon, and these certain
Iy could tell no tales. After they had
dismounted, the internal drink per
suaded them that it was n useless task
for eight men to remain on guard ;
four would suffice, and the rest could
sleep. 10 the four men who were to
keep awake, the waiting for their turn
seemed too long, and they agreed that
two might sleep, while the other two
remained true to the orders.
AIaruf and Sefer we're the two desig-
mated to watch for the rest.

HaII,lOne, Thai We're Warm and Sweet.

A correspondent, writing from La

in village named Daduzai IA tehsil in
the Peshawar district) rain fell, pre-
ceded by a wind-storm, and with the
rain came a shower of hailstones, which
lasted for few minutes. The most
curious part OF this occurrence is that
the hailstones when touched were not
at MI cold. and when put in the mouth
tasted like sugar.

The first tilt was over. Four had
lost, four were winners. These last
were paired. New hopes and new
fears. A danger would pass I'M

error would raise a cry which was his
death sentence.
Again two lost, and again two were
shot. And now only two remained
Maruf and Sefer. They found them
selves, as they had been before, in
front of the camp fire. They were the
best players They began the game
with good deal OF caution, resting
their foreheads on the palms of their
hands, thoughtfully calculating every
move, without hesitating but without
hurrying.
For long while neither of the two
succeeded in obtaining advantage;
for each gain there was an equal
sacriice.
The spectators nod to cach other
when either one makes brilliant
move. Little by little, the number
ofpawns on the chess-board diminishes;
the main figures lie scattered to the
right and to the left; the situation
becomes palmer; few more moves,
and Sefer will lose his castle
Maruf has one more castle than his
adversary, and this means a good deal
at the present stage of the game. The
crowd believes that the game is in his
hands.
All of sudden, great drops Of sweat
cover the forehead of Maruf-a feaI
overtakes him, he trembles through
all his body. He has noticed that, II
his adversary sacrifices his queen In
stead of the castle, he can checkmate
him with the bishop. Would Sefer
see that move? On that depends life
and death
Sefer looks ut the chess-board for
long while; his looks betray that he
has seen the move that will save him
But he does not touch the men and he
seems to hesitate.
eMaruf," he asks all of sudden,
chow many children have you al
home?'
"Four," is the answer that comes
from trembling lips.
'You have a good wife,"
can excellent wife" answers Marui
with sigh.
Sefer passes q hand over his face,
and begins to murm1r as though he
were praying.
Then he asks for water; he washes
his ewes. his hands-frst the left hand,
then the right hand. Unseen, two
guardian angels watch ever by those
who pray.
yesterday night you gave me the
game so that might sleep, he says.
Maruf does not answer, but bows
his head in assent.
"You have always been a good
friend of mine, Maruf."
Maruf lets his head drop on his
breast entirely overcome. Sefer thea
slowly lifts his hand to the chess
board and makes a move, not with the
queen, but with the castle.
"Checkmated !" you hear murmured
on all sides. Maruf has won, and
Sefer lost. Sefer rises quietly, Offers
his hand for the last time to his friend
Maruf, who seems nailed to his place,
and signals to the soldiers to be ready.
Two seconds later a shot announces
that the tournament is over. From

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

Every Indication That 1t VIII Be a
Success.
The American people are race o.
amusement seekers, and their tastes are
varied, but nearly every body enjoys the
good old agricultural fair. The pious
deacon who under any other circum-
stances would not attend a horse race
is seen at the fair, and it is here that
the society men and women of town
mingle with their country brethren and
sisters. After few hours spent among
the show horses, the prize cattle, the fat
pigs, the exhibition halls, etc., all are
ready for more exciting sport. and when
the bell rings all crowd to the stands
and track eager to witness the spirited
contests of the noblest OF animals, the
horse. Next week is fair week in this
city and Los Angeles is go fortunate as
to be situated in the state of California,
where nature ia bountiful, the fields are
fertile, the horses are fact, the men are
industrious and the women are fair.
With such excellent natural advantages
surrounding it the local fair should
eventually become one OF the best of the
kind in the country, and it ia pleasant
to know that it seems to be on the road
to great success. The big stallion trot
on Monday is engaging considerable at
teption, and it promises to be "a boss
race that is hoss race" as the agricul-
turist occasionally remarks.
