ST. BRIGID'S CHURCH FAIR.

The fair for the benefit of St. Brigid' S
church, which was opened on last Mon
day evening, promises to be a great sue
cess. The fact that the choirs of the city
churches have volunteered their services
is having a most salutary effect. AS the
fair progresses the attendance each eve
ming appears to increase. On Monday
night even, the first night of the fair,
notwithstanding the rain, the attendance
was very good.
The decorations of the fair room, which
were conducted under the direction of
Miss Mary Barrett Mesdames ]. c. Fed
Ter, Gretzer, Mitchell, Riester, Donahue,
Miller, B. Harmon, Fred c. Fedler and
Miss Maggie Barrett are really beautiful.
So numerous have been the presents
that the ladies have found it necessary to
add two more tables to the ones already
erected. They will be known as the
Grant and Sherman tables and will be in
charge of Mrs. B. Harmon, Miss Norah
Harmon, Mrs. +. c. Fedler and Miss
Maggie Barrett.
On the whole most pleasant and en-
loyable evening can be spent with the
good ladies of st. Brigid's.

INHERITED HIS MOTHERS SPELLING

A teacher in one of the schools in Car

of her pupils:

which Watts claims is unjust to him, and
he intends to wipe it out when they meet
in this city. Janey is training hard at
his home in Washington, d. c., and is
confident that he will make short work of
Watts. With Ed. Rucker as referee, the
audience will have a good chance to see

Because Hughie Jennings, who has been
putting himself in the way of pitched
balls for years, happened to get his nose
broken the other day by one of Meekin's
inshoots the Baltimore scribes are very
indignant. Hughie has just received
what everybody thought he would get
sooner or later. Here is what a Balti-
more paper says of the occurrence: at
looks very much as if Meekin had it in
for the Baltimore team. On the last trip
he hit McGraw, and in his latest game
.he started out with hitting McGraw, and
then following it up by putting Jennings
out of the game. 1t was a hard accusa-
ton to make against pitcher, but APP
pearances are all against Meekin. A
well-known baseball writer said tonight:
Il don't see Meekin hitting anybody but
the players on your team A player
formerly connected with the New York
team said: When l was with New York
l used to hear Bill Joyce often remark
to Meekin before a game: Don't forget
to cop off couple today, Meek and
Meekin would say, You know me, Bill.
Any pitcher who is up to tricks of this
kind deserves to be black-listed.'

REMARKS ON ADAM AND EVE.

The following remark of Highland
clergyman shows that the Celts in Scot
land can lay claim to the faculty of bull
making. In his sermon preached in a
small church in Strathspey, after inveigh-
ing against slothfulness, he said in clos
ing: "Do you think Adam and Eve went
about the Garden of Eden with their
hands in their pocketsl"

she will spend the winter. She is now en-
gagged on novel dealing with interna-

royalty besides the large sum in advance
she has already received.

HERE AND THERE.

Lots of corn and fodder out in the
cold, yet, and winter right here. There
will be lots OF cold fingers, too, If the
owners don't get Il move on.
Don't let the animals become poor
by trying to winter them too cheaply.
Judicious feeding and care the year
round is what we are after.
Very often the hardest thing about
drawing big load is the starting of
it. 1t is much the same in undertake
ing to improve poor farm-hard TO
get it started up hill instead of down.
The pigs will, If given opportunity,
do much cleaning where threshing was
done out doors; 50 will the chickens,
and without tearing the ground up SO
much.
Let those who are building up their
aocls and herds not neglect to head
them with the best animals obtainable.
These can he bought right, while scrubs
are dear at any price.
"A ton of butter taken from the
farm removes scarcely any fertility.
while ton of wheat removes about
S.. so worth, and ton Of corn about So
worth. Surely, the dairy farm should
improve.
If by reason Of drought or other
cause the stand of grass has become
exhausted it will, in most cases, pay to
pillow the ground and put it through a
rotation rather than attempt to reseed
without blowing.

THE EFFECT OF FRIGHT.

A Dutch physician, Junius, tells OF q
nobleman of high rank who, being COM
demned to be beheaded, grew gray in
one night. The same thing happened
to Seigneur de St. Waller, father of Di-
ana Of Poitiers, while Guarini, professor
of Greek at Verona, grew gray all at
once on learning of the loss at sea OF a
chest of manuscripts that was coming
from Constantinople.
Bichat saw one Of his friends grow
quite white in the space Of single
night, after having experienced a vio-
lent emotion. The unfortunate queen,
Marie Antoinette, grew almost entirely
gray during the night preceding her
execution. Moleschott relates that
Louise Sforza grew entirely white in
the night following his defeat and cap
ture, after his campaign against Louis
XII.

FACTS ABOUT MILK.

tanned in quart of milk, three-quarters
of pound of fat beef or five ounces OF
wheat flour. Milk is perfect type of
food, but only for the young. 1t fails TO

and force for adults.
There is 81 per cent. of water and -
per cent. OF solids in milk. The sugar
In the solids is in greater proportion
than in any other solid. The reason
cream rises more quickly from Jersey
and Guernsey milk is that the fat glob-
