STATE FAIR NOTES.

A sale Of 10 head of sheep in one block
is reported as an incident and criterion
of the excellence of the sheep exhibit at
the fair.
There are exhibits from Oklahoma TO
Manitoba and from Manila to the Allan
tic Seaboard.
Prof. Craig, one Of the Judges in the
horse department, was kicked by one of
the exhibits. Now the enthusiasts are
wondering whether the animal will get
a prize or not.
At Rest cottage yesterday Mrs II. N.
Powell. Mrs. B. M. Welch and Mrs. w.
M. Lawrence, all of Minneapolis, receiv-
ed visitors and distributed temperance
literature. A mothers meeting was held
in the afternoon, at which Mrs. Bessie
Laythe Scovell, state president w. G. T.
U, delivered an address. Mrs. G. G.
Hauser, of Minneapolis, was in charge of
musical programme.
There will be a grand parade of the
prize-winning live stock at 1 p. m. today
on the track in front Of the grand stand.
Tonight will be South ST. Paul night,
and the stockmen will be there in force
in uniform with a brass band.

is due to the st. Paul police under d.
rection of Lieut. Pothen and Sergeant
Ryan. 1t is a difficult task to keep Or
derby such vast concourses as throng the
grounds both day and night, and good
nature as we'll as good judgment is need
ed by those making the effort. AT no
time has there been any trouble in the
grand stand, where the police keep the
aisles clear and compel everyone to re-
main seated, so as not to interfere with
the pleasure of others. Rarely has a
Minneapolis policeman been seen in the
stand, thus leaving all of the work to
the local police, whose conduct has
proved highly satisfactory both to the
fair management and to. the visitors

BEATING MOTHERs-IN-LAW.
st. Louis Judge Fixes the Rate at
$3.50 for Mild OfYenses.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 1T costs $3.50
to beat mother-in-law, according to a
finding Of Judge Kinsey, in the First dis
trict police court, if the beating is not too
severe. The severity of the beating is
decided by the number of visible cuts and
bruises Such extras as showing her over
a stove or inficting hurts in places where
the clothes conceal them are not charged
for.
Louis and Joseph Puetz, two brothers.
are responsible for the reduced price one
has to pay for amusement at the expense
of mothers-in-law. Mrs. Julia Schmidt, of
1882 South Ninth street, had them ar
rested. She is the mother-in-law of
Louis. The testimony went to show that
Louis Puetz had done most Of the beat
ing and the cut-rate fine was imposed.

Greece Ears The Theatcr Hat.

The first official act of NJ. Trianto-
phyllacos, the Grecian minister of the
interior, was to issue an order forbid
ding the wearing of hats at any theat-
rical representation. This met with
unanimous approval from the men and
a storm of protests from the women.
One of Athens leaders of fashion ap-
peared at the theater a short time ago
with her luXuriant tresses crowned
with very minute bonnet The Of
ficer on duty politely called her atten-
tion to the printed notices forbldding
the wearing of hats, and she wa.
obliged to remove the Objectionable
headgear, all the while vowing to b5
revengcd. The next evening the wom-
an arrived at the theator bonnetless,
but her hair was arranged in such a
manner that it was little short of a
monument on top Of her head. Those
of the spectators behind her deeply
regretted that the law had not also
forbidden monstrositics of the hair

Clean Road Metal.

A principle learned from MacAdam
was that "broken stone, pressed and
compacted, would cohere together and,
by the mutual friction of its parts,
bear and distribute heavy pressures
as well as if it actually were the smooth
and solid slab it seems" But when
earth is mixed with the stone the fric-
tion is reduced by nearly one-half, the
material is less compact and firm and
is much less capable of bearing heavy
loads. Moisture affects the volume of
clay. Roads in which it is used rut
badly in wet weather, even though
they are very thick, while thinner
roads in which it is not used, but in
which the stones are pressed together
by their own angles through adequate
rolling, remain firm and smooth. Road
metal should be clean, and free from
clay. The use of clay is attractive,
because, with it, light rolling seems
to give good smooth surface, but
this is only temporary and is unsatis.

Makes Eggs of Rare Birds.

In these times, when such rarities
as the egg Of the extinct great aux are
constantly changing hands, the prices
running into the hundreds of pounds,
it is interesting to learn that there is

lent living by manufacturing the eggs
Of rare birds and selling them to pub

thology. He seems to be workman
of exceeding skill. A visitor actually
saw him make a penguin's egg that
could not be distinguished from the
genuine model displayed before him.
The shell was made OF plaster of paris,
which after being cast was hardened
by burning and then glazed. Another
Of his methods is to turn the eggs of a
common species into those of a rarer
one. For instance, the eggs of com
mon fy-catcher are almost worthless,
but treated with chemicals they ac-
quire the bluish-green, shining color
of the high-priced eggs of the silk
tail. A common duck egg is stained
q silvery green and is then passed off
as the egg of falcon, which is worth
from $S to $40. Pigeons and wood
pigeons eggs are also easily trans
formed into the eggs of scarce birds.
The ordinary lark's egg, colored a
dusty brown, becomes the egg of the
nightingale, which is difficult to pro-
cure and therefore very expensive.

The Origin of Writing.

The origin of writing is subject
that has much exercised the learned of
late, and Professor Hommel, of Nun
ich, has communicated to the Society
of Biblical Archaeology some further
proofs of his theory that the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were imported from
Babylonia, where picture writing is
known to have preceded the cunei-
form. In the discussion which followed
the reading of Professor Hommel's
paper, the Rev. G. J. Ball, chaplain of
Lincoln's Inn and a distinguished
Babylonian scholar, said that he had
no doubt that the ancient Babylonian
picture-characters were the origin OF
the Egyptian hieroglyphics and of the
Chinese characters as well. As these
three scripts, the Babylonian, the
Egyptian and the Chinese, are i'm
measurably older than any other yet
discovered-and Mr.. Bull is generally
held to have proved his case SO far as

1t has often been remarked that
civilized people tend to become short
sighted. This is because in towns and
stiles their vision is mostly confined
10 short distances. Savage races, on
the other hand, are generally gifted
with remarkably keen sight, and few
tribes are more noteworthy in this re-
spect than the African Bushmen,
whose eyes are veritable telescopes.
This power is, says writer, no doubt
d wise provision of nature, for the
Bushmen are small race, and if they
were not able to see danger long
way off they would soon be extermi-
mated by their various enemies,
whether savages of other tribes or
wild beasts.
A traveller in South Africa relates
that while walking one day in COM
pany with friendly Bushman, the
savage suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out that there
was a lion ahead. The traveller gazed
long and earnestly in tho direction in
dicated by the Bushman, but could see
nothing. Nonsense" he said,
"there's nothing there" And he went
forward again, with the Bushman fol-
lowing at his heels, trembling and I'M
willing, and still asserting that he
could see lion.
Presently the native came to dead
stop, and refused to bulge another
inch; for this time, he declared, he
could see lioness with number of
cubs, fact which made the animal
more dangerous than ever. But the
European, who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead, de-
claring the Bushman was dreaming.
After walking a quarter of mile. how
ever, he could dimly make out an oh.
ject moving across the horizon. Still
doubling that it could be the object
which the Bushman said he had seen,
he continued to advance, and at last
was able to distinguish lioness, with
her cubs around her. walking leisurely
toward the woods. Pail Mall Ga
