1858 was wonderful exposition for its
time, and was the model for numerous
like fairs, Industrial and otherwise, Gull
minating in the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at st. Louis. 1t is in it's
county fairs, however, that the United
States excels. This institution Is said
to have originated at Albany, N. Y,
some eighty years since, with Elkanah
Watson. He organized and opened the
first county exhibition, feature Of ag
ricultural competition that has rapidly
grown in popularity.
Many, however, have been the
changes wrought since that time. Peo-
pie Of this age see and enjoy things
that to our forefathers would have
seemed improbable and visionary. Nu-
merous are the hardy pioneers who can
recall the first attempt at anything
like fair in their county. Perhaps

SUNBURN A REAL MIRACLE.
Old Snl's Rays Have No Effect Upon
a Tanned Skin.

There are certain arctic animals,
dark-coated in the short summer, that
In winter turn pure white, thus match
ing the snoW-coyered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change Of color, this protection,
effected no one knows how, is won
derful, as wonderful as a miracle, and
yet a kindred change Of color, a kim
dred protection, happens among oan-
kind every summer and nobody ever
notices it,
When the pale city people go out in
the summer sun at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
fiercely, first reddening their skin,
then swelling, blistering and scorching
it. If they kept in the sun enough
and If no miracle occurred the light
would kill them finally, burning off the
skin first and afterward attacking the
raw flesh.
But a miracle does occur The skin
changes from a pale color to tan
and on this tan the sun has no effect
The sun may beat on tan-colored skin
for days and weeks, but such skin re-
mains always sound, unblistered
whole.
Thus nature works a miracle. The
white skin is suffering and nature,
aware somehow that tan skin is sum
proof, changes to tan the white. How
does she do this? Where did she learn
that it was wise to do this? No one
knows. Only the fact Of the miracle
remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
1t is not the hardening Of the skin,
but the change in it's color which pro
tects it from sunburn-is an easy mat
ter.
Let pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face yellow, and
leaving the other side untouched, go
out in the bright summer sun for a
couple Of hours. The one side Of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened,
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be inflamed, blistered, while the
tan-colored one will be quite cool and
unhurt
Sunburn is miracle, protection
to mankind, as inexplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle Of the arctic
animals change in the winter from
dark coats to snow-white ones.

District Attorney Jerome of New
York may be somewhat spectacular at
times, but he usually makes his ticks
count. In all of his busy life he never
said anything truer or more pertinent
than the following, taken from re-
cent address before the Merchants
Protective Association of New York:
''The trouble is that the moral sense
Of most people is governed by the
statute books. Thousands of us are
blind on our moral side. Too many do
not know that they are doing an i'm
moral thing until it is pointed out to
them as felony on the statute books.
Let us consider an instance. The emf
nent gentlemen who have been con-
cerned in the Equitable Life Assurance
matter have done things which are not
described in section 528 Of the penal
code as larceny in law, but in a moral
sense | defy you to distinguish some
Of the acts Of these gentlemen from
the crimes named in the statute" This
is plain speaking, but none too plain.
It Is the kind Of message we need.
We need it as individuals and we need
it as nation. We seem to be losing
our sense Of moral values when the
matter of pilling up money is involved.
We do things now which we would
not have done few years ago. The
craze for wealth at whatever cost
was never so general as now. Mr..
Jerome is right in saying that we are
developing a subtler form Of crime
than our fathers knew; that in "the
olden days criminals moved along the
line of Touchdown and take" and that
nowadays robbery has a more com.
mercial aspect" There is too much
Of a tendency to assume that any.
thing can be done which is not for.
hidden by law. The code Of statute
law and the code Of morals are made
to coincide. What is not prohibited by
statute is right. The men involved
in the Equitable scandal are not alone
in committing crimes which are just
out Of reach Of the law and therefore
justifable in the common view. Every
community has men Of the same type
and every community has set before it
moral standards Of the same rank.
1t is a common fault and the price
must be paid by a common sacrifice.
The penalty can be escaped only by
the establishment Of new standards
Of morality, both individual and civic.

Egg Membrane a Healer.

At recent session Of the Thera-
peutical Association Of Paris, DR.
Amat lectured on the use Of the mem
brane Of eggs in the treatment of
wounds. He has observed for some
time the good results of placing these
membranes upon the surface of
wounds and reports two new cases.
that Of a young girl suffering from a
burn on her foot, and man, 40 years
old. with large ulcer on his leg
Both wounds were in process Of heal
ing and were covered with healthy
granulations.
The surgeon Overspread them with
six or eight pieces of the membrane
Of eggs, which was covered with tin
foil and fastened with dry antiseptic
bandages. After four days the band.
ages and tin foil were removed and
it was shown that the membrane of
the egg had partly grown into the It's
sues and had caused the growing of a
good skin. That the egg membrane
had contributed much to the healing
process was demonstrated in the fur
Their course Of treatment.
1t seems, however, that the mem
brane does not always adhere. The
process of cicatrization is not only
fastened, but the wound heals excep-
tionally well and leaves but few per-
ceptible traces.

The Cost OF Kind Treatment.

It was at the close Of q hard DAYS
work. The general manager Of the
Utopia Glove Emporium had heard
and settled many irritating COM
plants, and when the janitor stood
before him and stated that he wished
and intended to seek employment else
where, the managers patience gave
way.
II should like to know what's the
matter III your casew he thundered.
Haven't I lightened you work, and
told the head bookkeeper he was never
to call you old Woolly' again, and
cautioned the forewoman to have
some regard for your age, and told the
cashgfrls you were to be treated with
the same respect they'd give their
grandfathers? What more do you
Want?
'It's .jes' all dat foolishness bout
hurtin' my feelin's and 'specting my

janitor, gloomily. I'm old times I use
to get a quarter mos eb'ry time for

an five cents when one O. de little

maids wages on So week? Every
body knows she can't" There is a
strong touch Of the ludicrous in the
poor woman's joy that her father is
living to support her. Perhaps that is
all she considers any man good for.
Is it really fortunate for her that she
has q father living It's doubtful
She will very likely go on making a
fool Of herself as long as anybody
pays her bills. What she needs is some
effective teaching in the value Of
money. She appeared in the court
room wearing huge bouquet Of VIC
let's that scented the whole building.
She needs to learn that a woman
should be something more than bou-
quet-holder. Labor is no curse. 1t Is
wise old natures method Of making
us Of use to the world and saving us
from being intolerable nuisances to
ourselves. If money were not hard to
get none Of us would ever have
solved the problem of living on So a
week. Violets are sweet, but there are
many far more important things in the
world than violets. Not all the per-
fume Of life should be in the nostrils.
We truly possess it only when IL is IN
the soul. And it is in the soul only
when we have earned it. The woman
who does not know it is possible to
live on So a week doesn't know what
living is. Far more than half the
women Of this country live on less
than that and live happily and use
fully. The humble wives and mothers
of the world do not need violets al
their breasts to put perfume into mill
ions of lives.

How He Finally Cured Co1ored Poro
ter of the Theft Habit.

ter of the Theft Habit.
William LaRue, alias Happy Billy"
one of the principal clowns with the
Norris & Rowe Greater circus that Is
headed this way, is an inveterate
practical joker, says the Butte Inter
Mountain. He is always up to some
m1schlef and is constantly doing some
thlnS TO evoke the laughter Of his
companions. His most recent esca-
pGde nearly caused the complete col
lapse of one of the employees of the
circus. LaRue has his stateroom on
the circus train fixed up very attract
lively and among other toilet articles
upon his dresser is always to be found
a bottle Of Florida water.
George Webb, the dusky porter Of
the train, who rejoices in the cogno-
men of Pork Chops" presumably on
account Of his fondness for that meat,
is quite a dandy in his way. On sew
eral occasions LaRue caught "Pork
Chops purloining his Florida water
and applying goodly quantities to his
kinky wool. Happy Billy determined
to teach ''Pork Chops a lesson, so re-
moving the balance Of the perfume he
substituted in it's stead bottle full of
peroxide, knowing the darby could not
detect the difference for awhile and
calmly awaited results.
1t was with much satisfaction that
LaRue saw Pork Chops continue to
apply the liquid to his head and it
wasn't long before the powerful stuff
began taking effect. "Pork Chops
wool began assuming various shades
Of a blond tint and if ever there was
a scared colored man it was Mr..
Webb, alias "Pork Chops" He could
MT understand it and hoping to get his
wool back to its normal shade of
blackness he continued using the per-
oxide. Of course the more he used
the blonder his head turned BY this
time the entire circus was interested
and amused at Pork Chops per-
plexity. He scented a practical joke,
but could not just locate the cause.
Finally his hair turned beautiful
blonde and that was the finish for the
darkey. He rushed to Norris & Rowe
with despairing cry, "For Gawds
sake, bosses, wat you all 'spose is de
mattah wild my hair?" The circus
owners looked him over and he was
indeed sight.
"Why," said they, you've been u.s.
ing peroxide. Where did you get it?
You'd better see a doctor quick
''Pork Chops was in no position to
tell where he got it. He simply rush-
ed to a doctor and has been under
treatment ever since. He was might
lily scared darkey and it is safe to say
that LaRue can leave all his toilet
articles around loose now and there is
one darkey who will never touch
them, for it has. cured him completely
Of the habit Of salnpling what does
not belong to him.

When people we love have died, we
treasure the last words they spoke, no
matter how simple or commonplace
they may be. But when the words
seem to indicate some foresight into
the next state Of being, they become
pregnant with beauty and significance.
During the last illness Of Theodore
Thomas, although he was not al any
time unconscious or delirious, he hard
ly noticed the members Of his family
as they came and went at the bedside.
But one morning he seemed to be bet
ter.
He made little jokes with the doc
tors and his sons, and talked about his
White Mountain home. At II o'clock
he seemed tired. The editor of his au-
photography says that he sank into a
dreamy state, and then reused himself
to say to his wife, in a lingering,
ecstatic voice:
81 have had a beautiful vision =
a beautiful visionw
Then he drifted off into silence.
His wife thought he was tired, and
went downstairs to luncheon, but
chiefly with the purpose of leaving him
to rest. He had given her a chime
Of bells, to be used in summoning the
family to meals, and because Of his
illness they had never been rung In
the house. Now, because he seemed so
much better, she played on them a lit
tie bugle-call that came into her head.
"Do you know what you have play
ed?" asked one of the family. ''Taps
the call that is sounded over the
graves Of dead soldiers"
She rushed back to the bells and
played the call engraved on metal
plate above them. Afterward she
found that this was reveille, the SOL
dier's signal to rise.
So it had CHANGED that the last music
Theodore Thomas heard on earth had
been symbolic Of death and the resur-
rection.-Youth's Companion.
