H1XTB FOR THE FAIR SEASOX. ' BY AORICOLA. With September the fair season is inaugurated; hence a few hints about the fair will be pertinent The primary unification of the word is "a holiday," from the Latin fona,and as a holiday, if nothing else, its ob servance among farmers ehould be ceneraL Farm life through Sum mer is necessary isolating, tven the wife or boys must "go to the store" unless the day be rainy ; for the work must be done at all events. But fair time comes after the rush ol work is ever, the haying and har vesting are done, and the farmer has nothing of great importance to do. He needs rest ; he needs to hold in tercourse s with his neighbors and talk over farm methods, the success -i rinn of the season : see what others have to show for multitude of farm, garden and dairy products, their horses and caiue, auu implement, and enjoy himself gen erally. This is one valid reason why whv fairs were instituted and why the" farmers should attend them. But if we glance over the country, as far as our acquaintance extends, we shall find not a lew who never attended the agricultural exhibi tions of their town, county or State. The reasons are various. One dosen t believe in them, and stays at home, preferring to forego what pleasure and instruction there may be, to paying "the quarter." or whatever the amount required to enter. Such men have no faith in anything unless it is a free exhibition. They lack enterprise, and care little whether the fair is a success or a failure. Another used to go ; but some old grudge against one of the officers, or his previous failure to take premiums, make an impassable barrier between him and the fair grounds. There is too much'hoss racing" for him; and he don't believe in that, so he remains at home. Given a few such men in any community, and the local fair would soon fall into bad repute, and the gates would be closed. Perhaps the way premiums are awarded at some fairs has much to do with the absence of the farm ers ; hence a word on judges and judging. One thing is very certain, awards are not always made in accordance with merit This may arise from either of two causes. First, partial ity; second, ignorance. We have no respect for a man who, as judge, can be influenced by money or talk, to record a decision contrary to what he actually knows to be the truth in the case. Yet such men do some times find their way upon these committeas. It is, therefore, very natural that one farmer who knows, by what other and experienced judges say, that he has been wrong ed and deprived of an award unjust ly, should refuse thereafter to lend his presence or influence to the fair. Partiality kills many agricultural exhibitions. But ignorance must also be taken into the account It may seem strange that a committee should ever te chosen to judge stock, hav ing on it a single member who could not tell one breed of cattle from another. But such cases we have known. The third man, if he be such an one, is but a figure head ; yet his ignorance- may place on award where it does not belong, partiality being not once thought of. But such men will not be chosen, providing proper care and proper time is taken in making the selec tion. Sometimes it happens that no attempt is made to choose judges until the hour arrives for them to be gin work, and then such are chosen as happen to be at hand, the fact of their entire fitness or unfitness for the duty being overlooked. It is useless to hope for justice when such a course is adopted unless fortune wills it that three exceptionally good men for the work happen to be on the spot No ; Choose judges be forehand, and let only thoroughly competent ones serve. A very-satisfactory method is fol lowed by some agricultural societies in having but one judge for each class ovr division, as the case may re quire and he to be from without the jurisdiction of the fair ; that is, from without the county if it be a county fair. The point is to be sure of get ting a man who is not an exhibitor and is not necessarily acquainted with the owners of the animals or articles he is to iudge. Partiality would then be quite out of the ques tion, and if he have the reputation of possessing a thorough knowledge of the qualities and characteristics of animals or articles implicit confi dence could be placed in him by exhibitors and they be assured that injustice would not be done. It is a sad commentary on the management of many fairs that the public, from whom they must have their support, have lost confidence in it They have come to think that a certain few will get the premi ums, and they stay away, or at least do not exhibit When such is the case the first and best thing for the managers to do id to seek to restore that confidence by selecting such men for judges as the public can trust and as have a knowledge of the work they are iwrforming. Mr. Salllran Swear OfT. The cheerful information was tel. i egraphed Saturday evening that Mr. j wonu uongieilOW SUlllvan. the , chamnion of all the chamnmnu haA signed the pledge for one year, or in orther words had sworn off for that length of time. He had, it said, promised his wife and mother not to drink before or behind his magnifi cent bar on Washington street and ipon that promise he signed the vledge as aforesaid. Sporting socie ty is struck dumb with amazement over Mr. Sullivan's conduct in this matter, as it was confidently predict ed that after his battle with Mr. Slade in the Madison Square Garden, in New York, he would start ,-mt upon one of his most terrific at-1 hard rubber, weighs not quite 5 oun tetupte to knock out all the champi- j ces, holds easily GO yards of line, ons in Boston.

A large force of police have been kept in the neighborhood of the sa loon. Mr. Sullivan is in excellent spirits. When a correspondent called upon him the champion re ceived him in the private wine room. The champion was in his shirt tleeres, and a massive diamond stud illumined his speckless shirt front He wore a high white hat well down over his ears. He 6aid to the cor respondent that the report that he had 'sworn off' was true, and he was glad of it No one, he said, not even the Marquis of Queensbury himself, would ever be able to per suade him to take a drink of intoxi cating liquor. Iam off for good,' added the champion, and as he 6tepped out into the main saloon many of the visitors raised their hats and saluted him. 1 I I TmA.nAtA Piraltiu t Ao Indiaa "Feast." , ; lemperauuB. From Um Dtrll'i Laks (Dak.) Ple Press. Over 1,000 Indians gathered into a camp one half mile northwest of the Indian agency to celebrate the 4tb. On July 3, they began pitching their tepees in the form ot a square. itn in this square their sports and games were held. The wigwams were built of sticks crossed at the top and cov ered with canvas. They were orna mented on the mside with all kinds of headgear, shells and pipes, and other characteristic paraphernalia. The camp was arranged on a plateau, overlooked by the surrounding hills. The Indians, "in a measure, were the guests ot the day as well as actors, everything being supplied by the agent and trader. 1 he cooking was done on the 3d. In the centre of the sauare a skin was stretched on four ornamented unrieht sticks. Around this eight sturdy, solemn looking bucks eat in full war paint and gaudy trappings and chanted a monotonous incanta tion, half howl and half song. A cer tain measure and tune was observed. The exercises opened with a cattle display, the stock being cattle and ponies accumulated by their own thrift The exhibitors stalked around with as much dignity as an Iowa farmer at a county fair, and the more impecunious looked at them with the same reverence that a way side yokel does at a prosperous farm er in the east In the evening the game begun, the drums being the signal. One hundred "big Injuns," bedecked and besmeared intq hide ous ugliness, appeared. They car ried all their old war trappings and trophies, heirlooms of their more barbaric days, such as shells beads, claws, skins, tomahawks, knives and bows and arrows. They kept time with the drums in a wild dance each one assuming tne most fantas tic positions and twisting himself in all kinds of fantastic contortions. There was a certain harmony pervad ing their movements that the more attentive observer might discover. One soldier could not resist the temptation to join in the dance, and flung himself into it with an earn estness and enthusiasm that aston ished "Poor Lo" himself. The danc ing continued three hours, the drums beating all the time. Dog meat was served for refreshment?. The dog was killed, and from the way in which the dancers gesticulated and grimaced when they approached him, there must have been some pe culiar significance attached to his post-mortem. A sham battle was also held, in which a hundred bucks charged, retreated, and performed hundreds of complicated and excit ing maneuvers. 1 here were loot ra ces, horse races, and other athletic and manly sports. The prizes were made by donation, and ran from 1 toS-5. One of the marked features of the day was a game of lacrosse, in which a hundred Indians participated. Among the old chiefs present were hcananca, w anata, Little fish. Iron Heart, Ijelt Bear, Lipto, Ax Handle and Oyetanka. The Indians evi dently enjoyed it, and it was an oc casion not soon to be lorgotten Dy the thousand pale faces who wit nessed it Give It Time. The carrying trade must lollow the chief producers and the masters of the markets. At present Great Brittain probably collects 10 per cent from our commerce conveyed in her bottoms. She is building ships on the Clydes, where profits are stated by British authorities at only 25 per cent Our mechanics are not content with that rate. They are, therefore, building railroads and their equipments and establishing a domestic trade marvelouB in its ex tent and variety ; and already over flowing into all eceans. But our flag will in due time return to the sea. Any foreign conflict in which Great Brittain shall engage 6hall re store our ships to the waters. With out war the energy of our people will win conquests in the sphere where they have before won so many triumphs. The sheer force of our own commerce will compel" the con struction of ships. We are fast rushing to the front in trade with the world.' When we get a eood ready we will take the profit of car rying our own merchandise. But while we can make 10 per cent in railroads and C per cent in manufac tures, we will not seek 2; per cent in ship-building. One of these days some American will build a ship of a new fashion which will run laster and cheaper than the present vessels, and then competition will begin in earnest Give U3 twenty years to become the greatest commercial nation on the globe, and then lei sure will come to float our flag on every ocean. Fancy Fishing Tackle. Expensive tackle?" said a long established Fulton street dealer in fisherman's outfits ; why, I don't call it expensive, and thesort of cus tomers I have do not seem to con sider it so. I hope you don't consid er it so. I hope you don't consider it expensive to pay $30 or ?100 for a rod, and say S-30 for a nice reel, with the trimmings.

A Distinguish ed Lawyer of Wayne Co., K. Y. Gov. St John spoke in Scranton the other evening on the prohibita tion question. In the course of his remarks he said: The law doesn't require a dry goods merchant to take out a license and get twelve reputable citizens to swear that he bears a good moral character. He goes to work and opens business in your town and hangs out a sign so all can see what he has for sale. If the saloon bus iness is honest, why all these schemes that hide everything from the public T Tear away the ecreens and let your mother, wife, or sister see what you are doing in there. The saloon keeper should have a sign painted of a miserable, ragged, bloated-faced drunkard, and under neath the words, "Manufactured here," and all would understand what thev were doing. "Now," said the speaker, "suppose you see before you here to-nignt a boy twenty-one years old. He is his own master in theeyeofthelaw ; he has always attended to his church and Sunday-6chool this future prom ised to be bright, because he has started on the right road.

The father steps before me and commands me to restore the boy. Now, I am talk ing to a man, and I command him to turn out of my way. I have es- j tablished a good moral (?) charac ter, and the law allows me the right j to do as I like with the boy. I pass out The news would go out what 1 had done with the boy. A crowd would gather 1 What would they do with me? Why, hang me! I ask you what is the difference between ruining a boy in nve minutes more than forty of fifty years ?" A Ijove Story. Dr. Well man reports the cutest and sweetest love story we have had from real life. Yesterday, as he was waiting at Parker, Dak., for the train a country lass came in with her fel low in the farm wagon, locked in each other's arms. The young man livctt in Iowa, and was on the eve of starting home. The tram was ready and on to the platform went his carp et bag. Another embrace, and the train pulled out lne lover swung on, and tne lassie wavea mm Kisses. The train, going down grade, gained rapid speed ; tne boy waved nis handkerchief, but his heart was in his mouth. Off went the old satch ell ; off followed the lover, with heels in the air. Over and over went he, and at last lit in a mud hole, rolled like a ball against the soft clay bank and finally got on his feet and star ted back to see his dulcinea. She, at the same time, was making for Lim. They met and embraced, re gardless of clay and bruises. The Iowa lover was heard to remark : "Duckv. I will never leave till vou are mv wife." The Justice of the Peace was sent for, and the twain returned to the farm as one. Starting a Young Man. It is related of a wealthy Phila- delphian, who has been dead these many years, that a young man came to him one day and asked for help to start in business. "Do you drink?" inquired the millionaire. "Occasionally." "Stop it ! Stop it for a year and then come and see me." The young man broke off the habit at once, and at the end of the year again presented himself. Do you smoke?" asked the great man. "Yes, now and then." "Stop it ! Stop it for a year and then come and see me." The young man went away and after worrying through another twelve months once more faced the philanthropist "Do vou chew?" "Yes." "Stop it! Stop it for a then come and see me." year and But the young man never called again. When some one asked him why he didn't make one more effort he replied: "Didn't I know what he was driv ing at? Ho'd have told me that as I had stoj ped chewing, drinking and smoking I must have saved enough to start myself.'' Wall Street Xeics. How to Make Com Give Milk. A writer in the Southern Farmer says that his cow gives all the milk that is wanted in a family of eight, and that from it, after taking all that is required for other purposes, two hundred pound's of butter were made this year. This is in part his treat ment of the cow: If you desire to get a large quantiy of rich milk, give your cows every day water slightly warmed and slightly salted, In which brand has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried this daily practice, that your cow will give 25 per cent, more milk im mediately, and will become so at tached to the diet as to refuse clear water unless very thirsty. The amount of this drink necessary is an ordinary pail at a time, morning, noon and night ' What He Had to Say. Mr. Jenkins had an eve to the beautiful, and when his wife brought into the domestic economy a real pretty house girl, Mr. Jenkins began to scout around for game. Mrs. Jenkins had her eyes open, and one day caught her lord unsuccessfully trying to kiss the girl. Well, Bir,' she said, with frozen dignity and unutterable scorn, ' I've caught you, have I V 'The indication would warrant such a conclusion, my dear,' he re plied, coolly. .

They are not confined to class or condition, but take in Titian and Lotta hued rep resentatives from Spruce street and from Frankford and from Chester county as well as from Conshohock en. There are red haired maidens from Frin, from the fatherland, and from the wilds of Jersey, from the banks of the hog-washed Ohio, from the red hot south, and even from Yankee land. ' There is a sort of tra dition that once upon a time a great swell of the ocean, in his pleasure yacht, was in danger of being wreck ed off the Atlantic City coast, when through the terrible fog and dark ness he discerned a blazing beacon. Upon coming to shore to find his de liverer he encountered a lovely Jer sey maid with light-house hair. In delight and gratitude he offered his hand and fortune, proved to be a baron with three castles on the Rhine, and carried off his bride. However this may be and doubt is thrown upon it by the fact that many a man has been wrecked in sight of red hair since then and nev er got over it the circumstances re mains that the red headed girls go in preposterous numbers to Atlantic City, and are met with at almost all hours and in all places. Aa Electric Locomotive. Thomas A. Edison said to a Chi cago reporter recently: lam now building a 42-ton locomotive, with 6-foot drivers, to be used on the un derground road in England. The wheels of the locomotive are pro vided with an insulated centre, to prevent the current from running along the axle. One rail of the track is charged with negative and the other with positive electricity. The current comes up through one wheel then through the motor, and down through the opposite wheel to the other rail. It will be much more practicable than the present locomo tive, on the ground of economy. A steam locomotive is a most extrava gant contrivance, because of its lack of heating room. A boiler must be driven at all times, and there can be no cut-off appliance to stop the waste of heat when not in use. In an electric locomotive it will be an easy matter to cut off the power supply at any moment when not needed. An arrangement can be effected by having a third rail, by which means the motor can gradu ally be introduced upon a large road and not interfere with the steam trains: One outside rail could be charged with negative and the mid dle rail with positive electricity, and thus obviate the difficulty and dan ger of running a steam locomotive over rails heavily charged with the powerful fluid.' Tbe Many Colonels. The Democratic party just now is Bome what like the United States Army it is over officered. It has as the slang goes, "too many colon nels," and there is danger that it may have too few high privates on elec tion day. In Ohio the Hoadly people, the Pendleton, people have, as a Herald correspondent reports from Cincin nati, fallen to abusiugeach other in a style and with such vigor as can scarcely help but amuse and inter est the republicans, who are not quarreling at this time. The "Ohio idea " seems to be that nobody who has been a Democrat under at least forty or fifty years ought to presume to look for a nomination to office ; and that is a very good idea if the old Democratic war horses and peace horses, greenback horses, unlimited silver horses and fiat money horses can only get a majority of the voters to agree with them. Perhaps they will be able to do so this year, though for about twenty-five years now they have not succeeded in it to any great extent. Father anu Sod Killed. Galveston, September 12 At Trinito, yesterday, Major II. B. Hur lock, a mill owner, and his son, W. H. Hurlock, aged 22 years, were shot by one of their employes, named Koseman, 23 years of age. W.

IV .ss' Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im provements in the making of silver cas-s. Under the old methods, each part of a silver case was made of several pieces of metal soldered together, requiring a jrreat amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the piial ilit y of lead rather than the elasticity of sliver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is ru-iio of one solid piece of metal hammered inu shape. The advantages are readily apj -;:r-ent, for every one knows that hamcieri:: hardens the metal while soldering softe us it. To test the superiority of the Kuf ne Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enouirh to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with bilver c;.p and gold joints. Umt t mmt U bSM Witrk Cm FMrln. r-V.- Iim IW mm Sgyl Swk are wtia. To bt con&niurf.)
