County Exhibits.

|
One of the most valuable features OF
Minnesota State Fair has developed
from the offer Of the management OF
special premiums for county exhibits.
Competition has been keen among the
counties in the last two or three fairs
and at the fair of 1903 it promises to be
still more attractive. More counties
than ever will participate in the dis
play, and building on the experience
| of former wears, the exhibits will GER
tainly be finer.
The fair management offers $l,2Oo
for county exhibits to be divided pro
rata among the county exhibits scor-
ing seventy points or more, and in ad-
dition makes these offerings:
For the exhibit scoring highest in
this class an additional 5000 will be
paid; for the exhibit scoring second
highest, $3.50; for the exhibit scoring
third highest, 500; for the exhibit
scoring fourth highest, SIS; for the ex-
hibit scoring the fifth highest; $50; for
the exhibit scoring sixth highest, $25.
For taste and design in arrangement
of tbs exhibits in this class, the follow
ing premiums are offered: 1st-$6O. 90,
2d-$5O.OO, 3d-$4O.Oo, $4,000, 5th
$4,000. Entries in this class must be
made be made by Saturday, August

Ham Hong, a Chinese prisoner at

and left Saltwater for st. Paul, from
from which point he will leave for his
former home in China. Ham Hong has
been employed as cook at the prison
and has been an exemplary convict.
This fact and the belief that he had
been convicted of crime of which he
was probaly not guilty, gained him his
freedom. He was profuse in his thanks
for his release, and for fear that he
might again be placed behind the bars
at the prison he left the city in hur-

I new historical novel brought out by Dill.
bingham 4 Co., in November last. It has
many points on which to commend it for
its superiority to the reading public. There
is, ct present, such deluge Of new novels
that when. one can be picked out whose in.
terest is SO intense and whose characters
are so we'll drawn like all productions Of
true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank.
~ the .S7ns Of the publication of this vol.
ume we had the pleasure of favorably re.
viewing it, and we are pleased to note the
general appreciation of "Lionel Ardon" by
the American press. The following is from
the Boston Beacon:
I'm this book the reader renews acauaint.
ance with English history by means Of a
story delicateiy conceived and very inter.
estlngly told. The historical characters are
we'll drawn and the Imaginary ones are true
to life past or present. This is the first
novel to utilize the beautiful face and char.
acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a
very attractive part of the story. Lionel
Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays
worthily the hero's part. The book is very
strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with
decorative touch by the outlines of the
rose and thistle in colqrs and two inverted
swords in white"

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The faculty of Columbia university
has added course in automobile me-
chanics to the curriculum.
During the last year there were
100000 teachers in 249,969 public
school buildings in the United States.
Among the students at the Bohemian
university in Prague there is Do
minican nun. She is % years old and
her speciality is physics.
In rural Spanish hamlets the school
house is often barn or cellar.
Madrid has so-called Model school,
in which one teacher is expected to
instruct a hundred children of differ
ent ages.
Mayor Yeager, Of Reading, Pa, has
determined to break up the habit the
young men there have INDUCED in for
years of assembling around church
doors on Sunday evenings to meet and
escort home the girls Of their &C.
two young men, on whom fines were
imposed.
In obedience to the 6ft.expressed
desire of the late DIR. Parker, the great
nonconformist London preacher,
hardly any mourning was worn at his
funeral. No sable drapery hung about
his coffin, which was covered with
flowers, and the funeral was simplicity
itself. DR.. Parker always declared de-
spair to be essentially non-C Christian.
The late archbishop of Canterbury.
DR.. Temple, began life as schoolmas-
ter and ended it as primate of all Eng
land. AS archbishop he took rank
next to the royal family and before all
other members of the house of lords.
He was leading figure in the spectac-
ular scenes of Queen Victoria's reign,
and though weak and partially hind,
he placed the crown on King Edwards
head at his coronation. At one time
before he became archbishop he was
SO liberal in his views as to be charged
with heresy.

he was severely wounded by an In
dian chief in one of the westei n cam
paigns of 1857 we bandagsd his
wounds and started to put hin, to bed.
Although suffering intensely. he re-
fused to lie down until he had knelt
at his bedside and prayed. 1t was
such an unusual thing for the army
officers in the west at that time to
pray that Gen. Stuart's act made a
lasting impression upon his associates.

EXPERIMENT THAT SUCCEEDED
That Il, at First Appearances, Bat
the storekeeper Knew Whom
to Trust, Just the Same.

Before he took the gubernatorial
chair ex-Gov. Luce, of Michigan, was
q farmer. He still owns q farm,
though he resides in city, and his
interests and heart are indissolubly
linked with the welfare of the granger,
says the New York Times.
Not SO long ago the governors
daughter proposed to group OF
friends that they all go out and pic
mic at her fathers farm. The ride
would be enjoyable, and the antici-
patton of the good things to eat in
the way of fresh cream and butter
made the friends eagerly assent.
Accordingly, Miss Luce ordered hex
fathers double-seated carriage, took
the reins of the spirited bay horses,
put the women in the back seat, and
the jolly party started for the farm.
On the way the conversation drifted
into various channels, and the sub
ject of what one would do if strand
ed without money in strange place
arose. The woman protested that
the situation would be an exceeding
" embarrassing one, and that unless
some charitable organization was
applied to the chances were the po-
lice would have to be interviewed.
Miss Luce, however, took a more
optimistic view of the situation. She
felt that if lady lost her pocket
book she would be trusted somehow,
and that, too, without people know
ing who she was. As her manner
was SO convincing one of the women
gayly cried:
"All right, here is country store;
get trusted there, if they don't know
you" H.
Miss Luce drove up to the store,
explained to the storekeeper who
came out that the party was without
money, and "would he trust her I'M
til she could pay him, which might
not be for week-they wanted
some chewing gum badly"
The country -storekeeper, with
amazing alacrity, brought out sever.
al boxes of gum, begged the ladies to
take all they desired, and Miss Luce
drove off triumphantly, feeling that
her theory had worked to perfection.
She had been unknown and trusted
solely on her word and convictions.
AS thu carriage moved OF one Of the
ladies' who thought it too good a
joke 10 keep, called out to the store
keeper: - ss.s : 5'7g E ~
...This is Gov. Luce's daughter

er, dryly, 81 guessed that. knew

This is termed ''stone batter" and

In northern parts of Sweden earth is
