The fair beard has never countenanced pool selling, and this has meant that the public has seen the races on the merits of the horses. The purses for the September meeting amount to nearly $20,000. Four races will be given each afternoon, and the purse in each contest, with the exception jot two, will amount te SI,OOO.

PURDUE AT STATE FAIR.

Twenty Experts Will Lecture to Inds ana Farmers. A corps of twenty experts from Purdue University will spend the week at the Indiana State Fhlr, opening on Sept. 2, and will attempt to make the fair of greatest possible educational value, Hie instruction will be chiefly along agricultural and tyousahold economic lines. The Purdue building, not far from the Coliseum, will he utilized by the instructors from the university, as well as for the fair’s general show of dairy products, and the instruction will be divided into the following departments: Animal husbandry, pouK try, soils and crops, dairy, botany, chemistry, veterinary, agricultural extension, household economics. The prime purpose of sending such a force of instructors to the fair is to give farmers who cannot attend the university at Lafayette the practical information that is available to the students. The farmers Will have opportunity to talk with the instruetbrs, see the Purdue displays, witness the demonstrations —all to the end of making the farms of the state more productive. The Purdue men will each day give lectures and demonstrations, and will conduct live stock and com judging contests for Indiana boys between sixteen and twenty years, who have not taken the eight weeks’ course or any of the longer courses at Purdue. Boys who enter the judging contest must send their names to Charles Downing, secretary of the fair, before Sept 3. The prizes will be free scholarships at Purdue

WHEN IRVING PLAYED ROMEO

Bilenee, Light and Actors, the Three Things Necessary for Artistic Effect and Atmosphere. Wendell Phillips Dodge relates an Incident growing out of the first meeting of .Robert Mantell with Sir Henry Irving, hack In 1882, when both were playing Romeo m London. There were reviewers who found Irving too old for the youthful Romeo, and one advised that he should make way for “the young fellow over at the Olympic.” Irving prepared §, special afternoon performance in the Lyceum, to which all the players in London were invited. After it was over, Mantell went back of the stage, and Irving asked him how he liked the performance. “It has been like an afternoon at school with congenial lessons,” replied Mantell. “How do you do it? How do you manage effects? How do you get such atmosphere, such a realization of the glory of the tragedy, with such little effort? Is there no recipe?” “There is; indeed there is,” answered Irving. “Simple, too; only three things” to remember. The-first is si* lence. and plenty -of It behind the scenes, so that the actor may be at ease, with nothing to distract when striving for his shadings. The second in light, regulated as far as possible so that nature is counterfeited —and that, young man, is the recipe.” t “But,” protested Mantel, “you said there were three things to remember; you have mentioned but two. Is there a third?” “Did I say a third?” asked Irving. “Um, perhaps I did, perhaps I did; hut what could 1 have had in mind? Let me see. Ah, yes, silence, light, and —um, shall I say—actors? Remember that, my boy, actors. Silence, light, and—actors, that is the third.”— London Strand.

BUILD TIGER PROOF HOUSES

Malay Natives Perch Their Houses High Up in Trees to Escape Beasts. The ordinary Malay house Is built on posts from five to seven feet high; but one which I came across was perched high up in a tree. It was the home of a man, his wife and family, and they Informed me that It was placed in this unusual situation so as to be out of the way of the numerous tigers which then Infested the neighborhood. As tigers have been known to jump 18 feet in vertical height somewhere above 20 feet is considered to be the limit of safety. The Malayan house is a frail and flimsy structure of sticks tied together with rattan thatched with palm leaves and waited with plaited bamboo, or, as in this case, with the bark of a tree. It Is therefore an easy matter for a tiger with its great strength to break into a house and attack the inhabitants. Many instances of this have been recorded in Malaya. In one well known case a whole family were killed except one man, who climbed up into the roof, and thus escaping the notice of the tiger, was a horrified observer of the cruel mauling and ultimate slaughter and devouring of his relatives. —Strand/

German Musicians Poorly Paid.

The Germans like music, but they do not want to pay for it. What they gladly pay for is food and drink, with free music on the side. When a highclass musician plays at a variety show or in a night case, he is looked down on; yet these are the only places where an orchestral player can earn a decent living. Some startling figures have been printed in Der Turner which shows that it is practically impossible for a German orchestral musician to marry and bring up a family. For a family of four the minimum expenses, apart from food, are $250 a year. The income of an orchestral player is $330 a year; which leaves less than 25 cents a day for food. Americans pay musicians ten times as much as the Germans do; but we, to be sure, are mere barbarians in the eyes of the Germans. —Boston Transcript.

Sydney Smith on Music.

There is a story, which we have not been able to verify, of Sydney Smith’s once saying that he never had seen “a more degrading spectacle than that of 500 people fiddling away about the children of Israel.” As against this unsubstantiated anecdote it is only right to quote the saying recorded in his “Lite” (volume 1, page 442), “if I were to begin life again, I would devote much time to music. All musical people seem to be happy; it is the most engrossing pursuit, almost the only innooent and unpunished passion.” This is a noble tribute, though the generalisation is perhaps too sweeping when one thinks of the loneliness of Beethoven, the early and tragic ends of Mozart and Schubert, of Schumann and Hugo Wolf.—London Spectator.

Famous Kisses.

The first recorded kiss was the treacherous one given by Jacob to his father Isaac, when the former was masquerading as Esau. It is the first in a series of deceitful kisses recorded in history. There Is a famous kiss In the “Beggar’s Opera.** It was given by Macheath to Jenny Diver, and the unpleasant effect which it produced on him may be Judged from the sarcastic remark, “One may know by your kiss that your gin is excellent” Fetruchio gave his bride a kiss of enormous caliber. We are told that he **kiet her lips with such a clamorous smack that at the parting all foe chunk echoed.”

ON THE FUNNY SIDE

Pleasant Thoughts. “Sorry, Brown,” said the doctor, after the examination. “You’re in a very serious condition. I’m, afraid ni have to operate on you/’ “Operate!” gasped Brown. “Why, I haven’t the money for operations. I’m only a poor working man.” “You’re insured, are you not?” “Yes, but I don’t get that until after I’m dead.” “Oh, that’ll be all right,” said the doctor, consolingly.

Too Much Paint.

He—What is all tfls talk about Mrs. Bullion? She—Why, she engaged Dauber, the artist, to paint her and when she arrived for the first sitting he declined to complete a job that bad already been half flnished.-“€indinnatl Enquirer.

What She Thought.

“Miss Peech,” stammered the bashful young man at the other end of the sofa, “woul4 you—er—consider me bold if I were to —er —throw a kiss to you?” “Bold!” quoth she. ‘Td consider It the quintessence of laziness.”

Sweet Bondage.

Oabe —I see that congress Is going to free the poor serfs who are held In bondage by the baseball trust Steve—Well, I wish some one would sentence me to five years’ servitude in one of the major leagues.

Proper Precaution.

“Where are you going in such • hurry?” “My daughter has been chosen to act as queen of the May, and I’m on my way to buy her some woolen underclothing and a blanket”

HIS ALL

Rambling Waggles—l was robbed last night and I lost fifty-three articles of furniture. Everything I had in de world. Policeman —Fifty-three articles. Rambling Waggles—Sure; a deck of cards and a cork screw.

“Mrs. Flitters doesn’t go about as much as she used to.” “No. Family cares are keeping her at home.” “She hasn’t any children?” “No, but Fido is in failing health.”

A Natural Student.

“Hello, Bobby! I hear that the stork has brought you a new baby brother.” “Git out! De nearest thing to a stork In des dlggln’s is a sandhill crane.”—Judge. <

Weary in Well-Doing.

"You can’t sit up with my daughter after 11 o’clock.” “Would you mind tolling her that, Mr? I have been trying to get home early for six months.”—Life.

RELICS OF THE BRONZE AGE

Remarkable Find of Prehistoric Weapons and Ornaments Made in I Karst Mountains. A remarkable find of prehistoric weapons and ornaments has been made in a cavern at St Kanzion, in the Karst mountains, not far from Abbazia. The cavern, which is known as the “Cave of Flies,” from the number of insects which, apparently breeding there, issue forth at certain times of the year, is a subterranean chamber witty a perpendfctyiaf depth of one hundredlns Ifty feet, the only entrance to which is by a hole in the roof. It was recently explored by some climbers with the help of a loner rope ladder. A Roman helmet, dating froni the beginning of the Christian era, which the. owner had apparently dropped down the hole, was first found. Encouraged by this the Imperial museum sent men to dig Into the earth and stones which have fallen from the roof and sides and form the floor of the cavern, and at a depth of three feet they discovered over a thousand articles of bronze, Including two hundred lance heads, a number of swords, axes, clasps and vessels. The last named had all been burned through by fire. The date of the articles Is estimated at about 1000 B. C. Since it appears impossible that men in the bronze age should have lived at the bottom of such a deep and Inaccessible cavern archaeologists believe the weapons and vessels must have been thrown down the hole as a sacrifice to some subteranean deity.—Vienna Correspondence London Standard.

RENOWNED POOL OF SIVA

Wonderful Waters Credited by People of India With All Sorts of Magnetic Attributes. A remarkable Indian ceremony is the Kumbakonam Mahamakam festival. This feast takes place once a year, but the Hindu gods are supposed to visit the sacred tank on each twelfth anniversary. It is said that the god Brahma once requested Siva to collect the essence of all the waters In the world. It is understood that Siva succeeded In doing this, placing the fluid in a pot, which he hid away on the top of a mountain. During the flood this pot floated away from its position, and when the waters subsided it rested at a spot some distance away, now known as Kumbakonam. Siva, who happened to be hunting in the vicinity, saw the pot and,’ drawing bis bow and arrow, shot at it with disastrous results. The water, rushing out, filled a hollow, and this at the present time Is the renowned tank. This tank is now a place of pilgrimage, where, during the festival, untold thousands of the faithful dip themselves in the wonderful water, which is credited with all sorts of magical attributes.—Wide World Magazine.

Pitched Battle With Gypsies.

Some gypsies Infesting the forests in the neighborhood of Fulda, Prussia, who have been hunted for weeks past, by the inhabitants and the military, have continued their nocturnal incursions into villages and lonely farms, where they lay their hands on anything they can take. A few days ago the population of Hunfeld, led by Baron Schenk, a local landowner, went in hot pursuit of the thieves, and, tracing them to the border of a forest, surprised them whilst feasting on the spoil of the farm yards. A pitched battle ensued between the two parties. One gypsy was wounded by a shot from Baron Schenk’s revolver, but some of the band took him on their shoulders and ran into the forest, while the rest covered their flight with a steady fire. Then, turning, they fled In their turn and were lost in the forest. The whole countryside is now searching for them.

Bull Made Merry Time.

Two men injured, several more seeking refuge in trees, and a panic among pedestrians, were a few of the results which attended the recent escapade of a young and ferocious bull at Burton-on-Trent, England. The animal escaped from a sate yard, and, after causing consternation by its antics through several busy thoroughfares, entered a recreation ground, where it proceeded to play havoc. Aa inmate of the workhouse was knocked down. While a man was trying to effect a rescue the animal rushed away, and knocked down a second person. While several betook themselves to trees for safety, one Man sought safety behind a tree, and for ten minutes had to continually circle It and defend himself by his belt. For two hours all efforts to capture the animal proved futile, but the expedient of fetching a herd of cows had the desired effect

Small Consolation.

In Dunoon (Scotland) the other afternoon one of the municipal employes had a free bath. He is a veteran who drives the cart for watering the roads. While filling the tank of the vehicle the long hosepipe came pff the tap, with the result that the water rushed high into the air as if it wore anxious to do the aeroplane acL There was no way to get the water turned off except to go straight into the middle of it The waterman had many trials before he managed .to throttle the impromptu fountain. And came out soaked to foe skin, he was pot cheered up by foe remark of % witness of the Hotedfle amt eat, who said—‘Ach, Donal, sever mind; it’ll ■s’ daeye eay hens; It's mm water.”
