They had white snocks coming down to the thighs bound in at the waist with red silk sashes and white cotton trousers. The most of them were old and were bearded.

 In the Retail Stores.
 The part of the fair have alreary de- scribed Is mostly wholesale. or the mil lions of dollars worth of business done. @ per cent. Of 1t Is In large quantities. The goods are brought here and exchanged. not sold by samples.
 The retail stores are interesting. They are largely in bexaars or passages. hum dreds of stores being under one roof. which is lighted from above. They are more like bazaars than our retail e3tab- iishments, being long lines of booths filled with goods separated from one another by very thin walls. The largest of these bazaars is the Glaubni Dom. which Is in the center of the fair. It covers several aCrcn anu uno PaSso808 tftAV08h ~ &Aat1 way and that. There are also smaller ba- xaars devoted to Asia, South Russia and the states along the volga and about the Caspian Sea.
 A Headquarters for Ame-s~sn Goods.
 In going through the fair found but few American articles. There Is some Of our hardware, but the Germans have ten packages to our one and the English sur pass us five fold. In cotton and wooden goods the Germans, English and French are fairly we'll represented. America has nothing and this is so in nearly all branches of trade. It would pay tho United States to establish a sample and sales room here to be kept open while the fair lasts. There Is a big opening for all kinds of tools and especially for pumps. harvesters and heavy farming machinery. I saw some graphophones and a few of our sewing machines. but as rule Amer ican goods are almost unknown. The great bulk of fhe products are Russian, many of them being made in the small factories and by the house industries which are found in all parts of the Em- p.re. Frank O. Carpenter.

It was predicted that the Trans Siberian Railroad would kill it, but it Is growing and it's exchanges are greater than ever. Think of a city with a population of 2O.- 600 merchants which does business for only about a month every year. and that a business running into the hundreds Of millions. Think of a city which has grown up to accommodate this business and which for one month Is full of life and tradc but for the rest of the year is as dead as graveyard, and you have some idea of Mini Novgorod.
 The word '.fair," however, gives you poor idea. It makes you think of tents and booths and ragged buildings with flags flying. You imagine circuses, fake shows and merry -go-rounds. Mini Nov Eorod has all these, but they are on the outskirts. The real town is more like substantial wholesale business center trad ing quietly and without noise. The fair city is located on a. narrow tongue of land where the great rivers Voiga and Oka join. It Is washed on each side by water, and the rivers for miles are filled with shipping, loading and dtscharging goods. There are something like ten miles of wharves covered with merchaA- disc of all kinds. and carts and wagons moving to and from them into the city.
 s The fair is 8 real city, not one of boards and canvas. It is a city of stone and mortar, of 1000 stores In good business buildings. It has miles of streets paved with cobblestones and with sidewalks of stone Tagging. It has street cars, cleo tric lights, theaters and big hotels. It has great golden domed churches full of treasure, presided over by long-haired priests tn gowns of gold brocade. 1t has also a city hall and police to keep it In order; 1t has it's stock exchange and its board of management and in fact every thing that you will find in great busi- ness center. Notwithstanding this. the city Is alive only about one month of the year. and that month Is now.
 A walk Through Mini Novgorod.
 Suppose we so acfoss the Oka and look at 1t. We are now in Mini Novgorod proper, a town of about 100000 people, mile or more away from the fair. We are on high hill separated from the fair city by the wide and fast flowing river. This part of Mini is the government of the province and has a large trade.
 We stroll down to the Bridge of Boats. which connects this city with the fair proper. and make our way fin and out through the endless caravan of goods and people which Is always passing to and fro on 1t. There are hundreds of Russian wagons pulled by shaggy horses with high yokes over their necks and driven by shaggy, Russian peasants in red shirts and trousers and yellow straw shoes Their wagons are loaded with all sorts of goods. There at our right IS a caravan of hides the horses tied to the wagons in front and their drivers asleep on the skins. Behind comes a train of wagons, containing fogsheads of wine from South Russia, and here at the left is one of g leat plates of steel. -e

Then there are great loads of cotton. of wool. hardware. and tools of all kinds. This stream of wagons lows on from daybreak until late in the evening all the fair through.
 Watch out for those droschlsiesi The horses are on the dead run and the fat droschky drivers clad in blue broadcioth stretch out their arms as though to push on the reins and make them go faster. Some of the carriages contain Russian officiais and we smaller men should keep out of the way.

A round robin is one of those

shared. No one siGnatory can be ac-
cused OF being either the first or the
last to sign. of being the leader or the

The most famous example on record
probably is the rcmonstrance which
was sent to DIR. Johnson in connection
with his epitnph on Oliver Goldsmith.
The doctor had prepared an epitaph in
Latin, but some Of his friends, who
had also Ibeen friends of Goldsmith,
took exception to it on two grounds.
the first being that it did not quite do
Justice to the author of the "rraveler"
a. writer. and particularly as poet,
and the second that 1t should be writ
ten in English. The party of friends
were gathered around Sir Joshua
Reynolds hospitable II somewhat ill

themselves in general agreement on
these two points, no one had the cour-
age to be willing to bell the cat" or,
in other words, to take the lead In
tackling the formidable Johnson on
these two rather delicate matters. AT

The idea was at once accepted, the

A modern cannery is a marvel of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish Is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work, even In
some instances filling the cans with a
motion for all the world like that Of
two human hands, one holding the can,
the other crOwding it full of raw fish.
1 shall not attempt to enter into de-
scription of the machinery. The can Of
fish is started rolling on its way, and
one has the impression that it contin-
ues to roll through machine after ma
