F4fRs IND FOULS.

The agricultural fair problem is a
disturbing one in some other States
besides Connecticut. Agriculturists in
Indiana and Massachusetts, are con-
cerned over the matter of extra at
fractions in agricultural fairs. Intro
duced in the expectation that they
would increase receipts, they have dis
gusted the rural patrons of such ex-
hibitions and have disappointed the
management. Many fair associations
in Indiana had been prosperous until
they admitted immoral exhibitions, and
the managers, as they scaled the pre-
miums, ascribed the unfortunate inno-
vations to the influence of the Midway
at the Chicago exposition. Now steps
are to be retraced, twenty-five Of the
leading fair associations in the State
having decided to exclude all immoral
shows. That is as far as they would go
on the reform road, broader resolu-
ton, which would have prohibited
beer selling, horse-racing, pool-selling,
and the like, being tabled after a dis
cussion in which the weightiest
thought seemed to be that "you can't
conduct a fair as you would Sunday
school," In Massachusetts, the senti-
ment of the Bay State Agricultural
Society is strongly against the intro
duction at fairs Of 'the circus and the
dime museum" as the President of the
society said. His society could not and
| should not pander to the meretricious
tastes of the day, and rather than
coax attendance BY such means, he
| advised that they "go out of the fail
business altogether for the present.

1t now appears that those men who,
while meandering home late at night,
have seen two moons have been men
with good eyes. The second moon of
the earth, long suspected by astronom-
ers, has been announced by DR.. George

has discovered, a little more than nine

ford system of railroad construction
the plan, as briefly outlined in the
London Times, being one In which
gravity is the motive power and the
cars are always running down hill.
This result Is achieved by making the
permanent way in sections, hinged to-
gether at each end supported by hy-
draulic rams. AS the train reaches the
junction of two sections, it puts the ny
draulic machinery in action, so that
the ram rises, lifting the end of the
section, together with the cars that are
upon it; the train thus has decline.
down which it runs by it's own weight,
and, thus as the same process is re-
peated with each section, it is prac-
tically always running down a falling
gradient, continuous, though of vari-
Gus steepness. The hydraulic power
necessary in carrying out this system
is conveyed through a pipe which is
laid beneath the rails, and the admis-
sion of water to the cylinders of the
rams Is controlled either by electrical
means from the cars themselves, or by
the weight of the train depressing the
section 1t is about to leave, and in this
way actuating the supply valve.

dotted with gilt spangles. 1t bloused
all the way around. had vest Of
pleated white chiffon, and the sleeves
were gray cloth spangled a white lace
ruffie hanging from each arrnhole. The
contrast between the plain gray of the
skirt and the rich pink Of the blouse
was admirable, while the spangled
gray of the sleeves linked the two
tastefully.
Taffeta skirts are the right wear.
Black satin is past, but cheer up, 1t Is
not ugly or frumpy by any means and
will not be for a season or so. 1T Is
best now, however, with fancy bodice
to match, something black, either satin
covered with net, velvet made up with
black satin, or black taffeta. For the
fancy waist in light color the taffeta
skirt is far better. The velvet skirt
has been exclusively all right, but so
eclusively that only the very wealthy
have considered its wear imperative
for dress occasions.
The French flannel shirt waist made
with back drawn close and fiat in per-
fectly laid pleats, and the front just
comfortably bagged, will be out in full
force the coming season. Gray, gray
blue, scarlet, white, cream, bright
green, black and Whitehall will be
worn and the preference will be for
solid colors. There is no law laid down
yet for linen collars, but it is pretty
sure that they will be higher and more
uncomfortable than ever. Rumor is
heard of tucking in over the stiff edge
in front little handkerchief especially
planned for the purpose Won't that
be cute? FLORETTE.

tempted to steal out from the swamp
and beg for food it was given to him
freely. If, creeping along the edge of
the swamp land, he was detected by
one Of the field hands the fellow called
him fool Matt" and laughed at him.
At the end of week he came in He
was not whipped. Nobody asked him
where he had been. His wife, 1t is
true, told him he was "brack ruffin,"
and refused to give him dinner. but she
came around in time. Distinctly, he
thought, freedom was failure.
The next day he appeared before his
former owner and volunteered to clear
up the mystery of his disappearance.
He took the curious planter to the
point where his trails had ended, and
showed him a massive rattan vine de-
pending from the limbs Of live oak.
1t swung thirty feet out from the
trunk, and its end was clear ten feet
from the ground The great African
sprung straight in the air. clutched the
vine and clambered up it, hand over
hand as rapidly as any sailor. He
leaped from the tree into another of its
kind and then to hickory. For a
quarter of a mile. forty feet above the
ground, and with all the sureness and
almost the speed of monkey, big
Matt made his way. The limbs
swayed far down under his weight, but
they did not break, being tough and
green, all of them. Reaching the end
of his aerial journey, he dropped into
a wide, shallow bayou, ran down 1t
half mile and emerged upon its fur
ther bank. The mystery was mystic
ry no longer He explained that, when
a slave, always before leaping to his
vine he anointed his bare feet with oil
expressed from the nut Of the sweet
gum. This, he said, would blunt the
nose of any dog. It was merely an adj
| ditional precaution.
These things happened in the fifties.
Ten years ago Big Matt" an old man,
| was building contractor in Moreau-
vile. La He was worth fifty thou
sand dollars and much respected. He
had been loyal and loving to Miss
Ida's'' children. The family was i'm
poverished by the war, and his money
was their money. He may be alive
now, but it is not likely.-Chicago

will argue that the president did
enough when he allowed Spain to try
It's autonomy scheme. They will point
to the fact that over two months have
passed since then. The civil and mill
tary authorities Of the Republic of
Cuba have repeatedly and in the most
convincing language rejected autono-
my. They have proved by repulse af-
ter repulse of the Spanish troops that
it cannot be forced upon them by arms.
They have demonstrated their integ-
rity by spurning offers of bribery and
by executing emissaries of corruption.
Moreover, the entire scheme of autono-
my has been exposed as O sham and
the members of the autonomist cabi-
net are unable to agree among them
selves And the 'reconcentrados" con-
tinue to starve to death or die Of dis
eases brought on by their sad and ter
rible situation.
Even if there should be intervention
there might not be war; Probably
there wouldn't be. A dispatch from a
usually reliable Washington correspon-
dent says that in the judgment of the
president the fire Of strife in Cuba has
ceased to burn with any vigor, and If
| left alone will shoulder for while and
then die out altogether. If this is the
| presidents idea 1t is not probable that
| there will be any Intervention.

OUR RELATIONS FIFTH SPAIN.

The Spanish war scare is again on in
the stock market, though it is not yet
very alarming there. 1t appears to be
still less alarming at Washington,
though in the senate yesterday three
senators offered resolutions which will
perhaps scare some Spaniards, or make
them feel drawer and more ferocious
than they have felt. These resolutions
are simply senate resolutions and car
ry no force except to show the opinion
Of the senate. The real gravity of the
situation is to be found in Spain's an
swer to the note sent by the State de-
partment in December. If the truth is
told about the abstract of this answer
which has been sent to the State de-
partment the Spanish minister again
asks this government not to take any
action at present, but to give to the
scheme of autonomy a little longer
trial. In other words, it is evident that
Sagasta intends to try for further de-
lay, as the situation in Spain, as well
as Cuba, is most critical. The Spanish
elections are approaching, and the gov
eminent is fearful should any outbreak
occur or intervention take place on the
part of the United States, it would
cause revolution in Spain.
Should this government grant any
further delay? Many will say no. They

Some have long contended that lu-
minous emanations surround the hui
man body. During a recent expert
ment in dark room, several persons
placed their fingers for about twenty
minutes on Photographic plate lying
in bath containing solution of
hydroquinone. After the exposure the
plate was developed in the usual way.
The fingers, lines of the hand and pores
of the skin were all reproduced and,
what is of more interest, zone or halo
third of an inch wide surrounded the
fingers. This was taken as proof that
we live in a luminous fluid, sufficiently
defined to enable Photographic print
to be made of itself. The same exper-
iment was tried on persons whose hands
were paralyzed or benumbed, but no
image was produced.
