What Is n Day:

Nine persons out of 10-yes, 900 out
Of every .,000-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its axis
would answer "a hours, and to the
question, How many times does it turn
on its axis in the course of the year
the answer would be 365a times Both
answers are wrong.
1t requires but % hours and 56 min
utes for the. earth to make one complete
turn, and it makes 1861 turns during
the year. The error springs from a
wrong idea of what is meant by a day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence of the earth's
revolution in its orbit, or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in d
direction from east TO west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be short dis
tance to the east Of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day, so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.

Yellow New York.

We know of no city in all this land,
not excepting Hoboken or Jersey City,
which is less national in its feelings
its ideas and its aspirations than New
York. It has never yet done anything
really national. There was not public
spirit enough in the well TO do classes
of the town to even build the pedestal
of the Liberty statue. The same classes
waited years and went begging all over
the country to raise Il fund for the
Grant monumental duty which, in
1885, they claimed as their peculiar
privilege. But New York is New York.

When Poe Was Hungry.

Gabriel Harrison, who was a popular
young actor in the forties and also an
artist and politician and friend of cele-
brated men. told this story of Edgar
Allan Poe:
81 asked Poe several times when he
was at the studio to sit for his portrait,
but he always refused on the ground
that his clothes were too shabby. But
one afternon l caught him in an un-
usually complacent mood and obtained
the original Of the engraving you see
there ON the wall. This was but three
years before Poe's. death. and he was
not at all prosperous.
''I recollect that cice we were walk
ing up town together late in the day,
when Poe began to sway from side to
side and then stopped. He said he felt
faint We went into cafe, where we
had glass OF wine and biscuit. Poe
then told me that his sudden dizziness
was the result Of not having eaten any
thing since early morning"

Brushing Improves the Hair.

The very best brushes should always be
chosen, and at the very least 100 strokes
day should be vigorously administered.
The bristles of the brush should not be SO
hard as to drag the hair out in case of a
tangle obstructing their course, nor
should they be yielding. 1t is useless to
brush the hair unless the skin of the head
be brushed as well. The friction stimu-
lates it and makes the hair grow. Brush
ing the hair with slow and languid strokes
is simply useless. Vigor and intention are
necessary to produce a really good effect
and induce the bright healthy gloss that
hair should have.-Ladies' Home journal.

and Means for the Holding Of

Scbnebley. TIE absent member, Dan
Stewart, it is rnmored intends resigninx
owing to tho pressure Of his private busi-
ness interests on his time. The old Off
GERS were reelected. The entire day was
consumed ia an interchange Of views in
executive session. 1t was sRreed that a
fair should be held this October and in
October, 1900, 80 that the exclusive ne VS.
OF only one fair being held, as published
in local paper, is erroneous. The
gambling feature, which aroused so much
adverse criticisum last year will be elm.
mated entirely. The racing program will
be similar to the last one, EXCEPT unless
there are five entries, three to start in
each race, it will be declared off and In
dian races SUBSTITUTED. The Indians will
be encouraged to give exhibitions for the
benefit OF new corners. to whom such ex-
ercises are novelty. Sixty feet will be
added to the grand stand and offices ar.
ranged Hereunder for the convenience OF
all concerned. In the building hitherto
allotted to gambling " Il be conducted a
first-class restaurant. A large expeDse
WAS incurred last year in paying the ex-
pense Of gentlemen versed in fair BUSH
ness to assist the executive officers in the
discharge Of their duties. This year that
expense will not be necessary as the
board feels equal to the occasion without
costly advice. Larger premiums will be
given this year than ever before in the
lines of agricultural and fruit exhibits.
There will be but one prize for exhibits
where there is no competition. The
board meets next Monday again.
A force of men was set to work under
the supervision of President Baxter, in
making necessary Improvements The
rules of 1898 were adopted and will be
strictly enforced. The time OF holding
the fair being set by law az the last Mon
day in September, comes at the busiest
season of the year, but the extra prem
iums, new attractions and increas ing in
terest will insure grand success this
fall.

Where Daniels Stands.

The Seattle P.-I. does Lieutenant Gov
ernor Daniels an injustice when it seeks
to convey the impression that he has de-
serted the Populist party. The Seattle
paper must well know that Mr.. Daniels
is an earnest, honest and courageous adj
vocate of the principles laid down in the
Omaha platform of the Peoples party.
1t is likewise true that he has never been
slave to party, and people well &C.
quainted with him do not anticipate that
he ever will be. Mr.. Daniels is at pres.
ent taking a much needed rest after
many years of continuous work in the
newspaper business and is not at present
engaged in conducting this paper, al
though he may be an occasional contrib
utor to it's columns. This statement from
the present manager Of the paper appears
to be proper at this time.-Vsncouver
