1t is a matter for comment that
although the past year has not been
one calculated to induce business men
TO go to the expense Of making a dis
play, the main building presents a
very attractive appearance. Among
the exhibitors there are b. +.
Caldwell & Company, fine mantels,
etc., Bell Stove Co., with q fine
display Of ranges and stoves; Mrt. Coll
ner, fancy articles, the Wheeling Bus
mess College, Rambler bicycles, Henry
Seamon. cigars and stages, Friends
oats, Meyer 81 Radcliff, soft" drinks;
Mueller Glass Co., Smith Brewing Co.,
with very fine display of ales, porter,
etc, Sterling Medicine Co., Schwert-
feger & Robb, harness, etc, P. Loecher,
toys aud fancy articles, Etz IL Seiiert,
fine harness; New York Dental Compa-
ny, Wheeling Glass Co., showing stained
glass windows in process Of manu-
iscture; John Friedel 81 Co., fine
china; McLain surgical instrument dis
play, a fine japanese exhibit and others.
The big central fountain in this build
ing never looked so well, and it ia at
tracing a great deal OF attention. All
the water used is filtered, much more
satisfactory arrangement than to use
the old familiar solution Of mud, as it
comes from the river.
The poultry display this year
is a very fine one comprising four
hundred and twenty We fowls. In some
species OF chickens. like Plymouth
Rocks, the exhibits are strong. j. d.
Rice is the very efficient superintendent
of the department. f. j. Marshall, of
Middletown, o., the very capable judge,

Who ON earth, or what on earth, are
the Pomaks? is the question which will
suggest itself to most of those who
glance at the heading of this article.
The Pomaks arc Bulgarophone Mohan-
nedan Bulgarians that is tosay, they
are Bulgarians who have adopted the
creed of Islam, bat retained their own
language. With their native speech
they have preserved certain usages and
customs of their own race, thus afford
ing to the ethnologist an admirable field
for speculation MS to the extent to which
n change of religion. unaccompanicd
by other influences. can modify the in
grained characteristics of nation.
There are Polnaks in many parts Of
Bulgaria, but the Pomak territory par
excellence lies in the widest. remotest
region of the Balkan peninsula. in the
heart of Rhodope, terra incognita to
the European traveller, and known only
by report to the neighboring races; in
ancient days the haunt of the frenzied
Bacchantes.

who scorned for centuries the rule Of
Turk and Christian alike, and bravely
resisted every effort TO bring them into

cupying the remoter portion Of the

ago by the convention of Top Khane to

bands do not mean to dwarf or kill your
children, you do not mean to break
down your wives with overwork and
unwholesome food, but are you not do
ing it all the same? Assistant Secretary
Andrews of the state board of health OF
iowa has prepared an interesting table
of cases of insanity within the state and
the alarming growth of the malady, es-
pecially among the people living in the
rural districts. The total number of
cases increased from l,525 in 1899 to
| $40 in 1890.
DR.. Andrews says the increase is larger
in the rural districts among the farm
crs, and especially among their wives
and daughters. He is unable to account
for it unless by the humdrum, hard
working, pleasure ignoring lives they
lead. He may be right in putting it
down to that, but do not quite agree
with him. A good, healthy animal does
not lose its wits for sentimental cause.
A well fed, well groomed, well bedded
man or woman can pull through pretty
hard work and pretty heavy weather
and be none the worse forit The same
work and weather would break down
the same man or woman Ill fed, drug
ged and stified with bad air. A joyless
existence is not good for anybody, but
it is not so bad as one blighted by the
material evils We have been contem-
plating.
