Judging from the great number Of
applications for space in the different
departments, the display in all will be
by far the greatest yet shown. This will
be due largely to the liberal premiums

How Man Sleeps.

Adult man is. believe, the only ami
NAL who ever elects to sleep upon his
back. Some Of the lower savages seem
to sleep comfortably on occasion in a
crouching position, with the head bent
down upon the knees, just as well us
the common tribes of monkeys do,
Among the Quadrumana it is not until
we come to the platform building an
thropoid types thut we find a recum-
bent position habitually taken during
sleep. The young orangs and chlmpan-
ices that they have had at the zoologi-
cal gardens slept with the body semi
prone and with the limbs, or all except
one arm, which was used as pillow,
curled under them. This is exactly
the position voluntarily adopted by so
per cent of children between ten and
twenty months old that l have had
opportunities of watching. l was told
by the attendants ut the geological gar.
dens that 10 ape will sleep fat on his
back as adult man often does.-Nine-
teenth Century.

Brotherly Foresight.


Little Tom was involved in the diff
culties of learning to dress himself
and regarded the buttons which had to
be fastened behind his back as so
many devices to torment small boys.
One morning he was informed of the
arrival Of baby sister and later in
the day was allowed to steal into his
mothers chamber to look at the baby
as she lay asleep.
Tom regarded the small creature
with much interest, and the nurse,
wishing to know what his thoughts
were, asked him softly:
"Well, how do you like her? Isn't
she darling?'
81 don't think she looks much good
answered Tom, with uncompromising
frankness. "How soon will she be big
enough to fasten my back buttons:"

AGE of the Brass Hand.


"As antiquities go nowadays" says
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's, "the
brass band is very ancient institution.
That is to say, it's inventor died in 1894
at the age Of eighty. There were horns
before Adolphe Sax, to be sure, but not
such horns as we have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key.
They could not even play scale In any
key. The very first band entirely of
brass was organized in 1886, and l
doubt If any of the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t
is only back to 1888 when full regi-
mental band of the British army con-
sisted of two oboes, two clarinets, two
horns and two bassoons. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tennyson's
famous combination of flute, violin and
bassoon.'
GLOW long way we have come
since 1888 may be learned from the
ensemble Of first class modern band.
The modern band Of forty-two pieces
has half as many oboes and bassoons
as the ancient band of eight pieces, sew
en- times as many clarinets and nine
times as many horns, to say nothing Of
the saxaphones, which are part clarinet
and part horn"

Fair races

Fair races.
From present indications, crops in
Iowa this year will be generally album
dant and of good quality. This in
sures large and excellent display of
the grains and grasses.
Its almost needless to repeat that
the Iowa State Fair is one of the great
est live stock shows on earth. This
statement may appear to some to be
rather more broad than is warranted,
but broad as it is, it is borne out by the
statistics of the cattle department. Last
year saw the fair reach what was ap
parently the high water mark in the
cattle exhibit. A grand total of over
$50 head were shown, including Short
Horns, Herefords, Polled Angus, Gallo.
ways, Red Poll, Holsteins and Jerseys.
Eighteen herds of Short Horns alone
were shown besides the many herds in
the other breeds. To the most casual
observer 1t will at once appear that this
is most remarkable show of cattle
and when it is remembered that the
greater number were cattle bred and
raised by Iowa stockmen 1t appears
still more remarkable. And 1t can be
safely predicted that the number ex-
hibited this year will be an increase
over that of last season. Among the
many valuable cattle shown were some
Of the most valuable in the country,
reaching in many cases thousands of
dollars.
These are only q few of the many
facts which could be reclted of this
great Industrial Exposition. 1t is q
marvellous display of the many re-
sources of great state. No one can
attend the fair without being awakened
to new realization of the true great.
ness of Iowa.
