Three days meeting OF the Connect
cut board of agriculture this week ought
to start lively buzzing OF ideas, as the
farmers In the land Of steady habits
work over the points st discussion and
stow them away, 10 be thought out and
ada pied during the year. The program
is OF interest and some OF the speakers
are experts In bringing out choice bits
Of wit aud wisdom under fre OF ques-
tions. A strong attempt was made 70
interest farmers In the college and exper-
riment station, plain and definite sc-
count of the work being an important
feature. Good agricultural meetings
take the kinds and angles out OF q
man and help him think straight. Ten

When man IL tired. he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds and
animals, so far as possible. follow his
example.
Birds spread their feathers and also
yawn, or cape. Fowls often do this.
Fish yawn; they open their mouths
slowly until they are round, the bones
Of the head seem to loosen, and the
gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneezs unless
they have a cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, logs and claws.
as every one knows who has a cat for
. pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging In Q roll. but not, as
rule, on all fours.
A stag when stretching sticks out his
head, stretches his fore feet out and
hollows his back and neck as though
trying to creep under bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do II regularly; 50 do COWS. This fact
Is 80 well known that II cow, when
arising from lying down, does not
tretch herself II is a sign she is III.
The reason for this IL plain-the
stretch moves every muscle Of the
body. and II there be any injury any
where It hurts-Pittsburg Dispatch.

GREAT CROWDS ARE
COMING TO THE FAIR
The Railroads Prepared for Heavy Iravel
Today and Tomorrow-Special
Trains for Military

Birmingham will be thronged today with
people from all sections of Alabama and
from the adjoining states.
Every train coming to the city today will
be crowded to its capacity.
The railroads have made every prepara-
ton for handling the extraordinary travel
expected today and tomorrow and for the
next two week. Special trains will be run
today and extra coaches will be put on reg
tilar trains, both passenger and freight.
Mr.. r. +. Beasley, passenger agent of the
Louisville and Nashville, said to an Age
Herald reporter yesterday that his road
would bring 1900 or 5000 people to the city
today. For a week past he has been en-
deayoring to ascertain as nearly as possible
the number of passengers his line would
handle to Birmingham during the fair and
his estimate of the number for today is
based on information thus obtained.
Agents of other lines had no particular
figures to give out, but were sure of hand
ling immense crowds of visitors to the city.
From all the information obtainable 1T is
safe to say there will be not less than 25,o00
visitors in Birmingham today and tomor-
row.
Tomorrow the Louisville and Nashville
will run a special train from Montgomery
to accommodate the military companies
coming from Montgomery and points be-
yond There will also be special train to
bring the soldiers from Decatur.

1.-THE PLAYN
S0@G@G0@S08D@D@@ G@8GO@S@9@

Mr. Otis Skinner will appear at o'Brien's
opera house tonight in Henry Arthur
Jones' new comedy entitled 1.-THE Liars"
The company which Mr. Skinner leads is
we'll balanced organization. The Empire
theater production will be used during the
engagement. The explanation of the sur
passing success of 1.-THE LARS is referred
to it's novel style of love story and the en-
larged opportunities for brilliant work
individual members of his splendid COM
pany.
The character of Sir Christopher Deering,
which falls to the star, is vari-phased and
called for greater range of dramatic and
comedy expression than any part he ever
played before. 1t is a polite and agreeable
character of the kind Mr.. Skinner is so
perfectly at home in embodying and its
sentimental qualities are charming. There
is heart in every word and line of the part
and when this is considered the fact that
the elegant phases and polished humor of
Sir Christopher fit the charming methods
of the actor, it is easy to see why the fair
sex should, go crazy over 1.-THE Liars
Indeed it has been insisted by the critics
that the comedy which is from the pen of
Henry Arthur Jones, is an out-and-out
woman's play and that it was written to
please and win the weaker sex. The love
story 1t tells is full of surprises and Mr..
SINNERS share in it, as maker of love,
