A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The Vigo fair association lost $1,400 on the fair this year. It was a good fair and the attendance was much larger than last year but the premiums were larger too. The city attendance fell short and it is probable Hometbing
will
be done
next year to a{tract city people to the grounds, at night perhaps.
All over the state, and in parts of Illinois too, a discussion is on as to the causes of the decadence of the old-time county fair. The opinion mostgenerally held is that the towns and small cities where they are given do not furnish their share of the attendance. This proposition will not hold good in all cases, however, but probably it is the chief cause of the failure of these enter prises, a failure that has been so marked that in many counties the agricultural isociety has decided not to hold a fair next year, and in some instances the association has gone into bankruptcy. J. M. Sankey, president of the state board of agriculture, and who ha9 been interested in county fairs as well as the «tate fair for many years, says the people of the towns and the country, too, •want novel attractions they are not in different to the display of the products of the farm but they have been educated tip to the exposition idea and to the desire for speocaoolar eflects. The state fair for two years now has had night ex bibitions of fireworks which have not only been financially successful In themselves but have aroused interest in the state fair and increased the day attendance. Over at Paris, Illinois, whose fair has been renowned for its attractiveness aud auccess in all respects, and where the people of the town attend almost in a body, the association fell so far short this year that It is doabtful if a fair will be held next year. The premiums at Paris as also at the fair here were large and the exhibitors were satisfied with them. Parenthetically It is remarked that if an exhibitor with a herd of cattle is satisfied with $75 or 9100 for the week the owners of a trotting horse must make a good deal of money by winning four or five times as much in a week. The cost of transportation is even greater for the cattle man than it is for the horsemen.
The failure of the city and town people to attend the fairs throughout the state was also true of the city people here in regard to the race meetings, not onefifth of whose attendance was from the city. It is plainly seen now that something novel must b* offered to get the jtty people to attend either the fair or the races. It is suggested that next year the fair provide night attractions at the grounds for the city people. The sue oess of the fireworks display by the Princes of the Orient left no doubt that the city people will turn oat at night. Indeed, the big crowds at Harrison park furnished evidence of that fact. It is also proposed to vary the nature of the day attractions. Balloons and bicycle races may be added for each day and other things not now thought of which people who do not care for the usual exhibits at a fair may be Induced to attend.
1 asked Secretary Jamison how the delegates to the state convention of the Toung Men's Christian Association were to be aocommodated with plaoes to sleep and eat next month. He said they would be distributed among the residents who are willing to entertain one or more guests during the several days of the convention. The Baptists have
oalled on the people to give the delegates
»k.irMinnmtion "board and lodging" .. to their convention next week and I said to Jamiaon that this might compel the T. M. O. A. delegates to take the "leaving* at the table," so to apeak. Be replied that *here would
whole number present at a convention. Mr. James Laudrum of this olty Is the state president of the association.
It is said that when Mr. John Helnl was in Europe last year he bought a patent for the qniek tanning of hides. The chemists and scientists have been trying for many years to solve this problem. This old way, by which the hide lies in the tanbark llqnor four, five and six months, necessitates a large amount of oapltal whloh may be said to be lying idle all the mouths the hide is in the vats. The obstacle in the way of most of the processes for shorter time has been the danger of destroying the strength of the hide with the chemicals used. The process bought by Mr. Helnl is said to have been demonstrated to be free of this fault.
The Wabash Exponent has not ap pea red for a couple of weeks and the urderstandingls that It is to qultaltogether. The former editor, Mr. Jarvls, has gone to Mississippi and the paper is left stranded. The Populists who rallied to its support in considerable numbers before and during the campaign last year seem to have been dispersed Into the old parties and the only question of Interest politically Is as to whioh of the old parties will get the most votes by reason of the dl8lntegmUqt!lr^^^4...Party organization.
Mr. Mo Keen was entirely free from sea sioknessboth ways on his trip to Europe, muoh to his surprise. He is convinced now that he is a good sailor. When he returned to New York he was practically Ignorant of what had been done and said in this country, either in regard to Indiana politics or affairs in general. The London newspapers give little or no American news, beyoad the stock market reports whioh are of interest to Eng lish investors. In Paris the Herald, the Parisian edition of the New York Herald, had news reports from the United States, but other than it there was no newspaper in Europe which gave the reader any information about what was happening in this country. But few of the home papers that were sent to him reached him. There has Ioug been complaint on this score. Newspaper publishers are used to the com plaint of subscribers who go abroad.
LITERARY NOTES.
The literary feast furnished in Har" per's Magaaine for November is of far more than ordinary interest. Poultney Bipjelow continues his history of the German Struggle for Liberty, a most striking feature of whioh is a descrip tion of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow Owen Wister has one of his characteristic stories of western life, "A Pilgrim on the Gila" Julian Ralph profits by his recent trip to China in the story "Plum blossom Beebe's Adventures," whioh furnishes an insight into Chinese life and character. Besides these( other interesting features are a story by Brander Matthews, "Men and Women and Horses," William D. Howell's "Literary Boston Thirty Years Ago," Edwin Lord Weeks' recent Impression of An-glo-Indian Life, Richard Harding Davis'* "Out of the World at Corinto," which possesses an additional interest on ao count of the recent international episode associated with that out of the way place. Thos. Hardy's "Hearts Insurgent" is concluded in this number, and the an nouncement is made that, with the December number of Harper's will begin a novel by William Black entitled "Bri seis." Altogether the November number of Harper's Magazine is up to its usual high standard.
There are forty pictures in the opening chapters of the New Life of Lincoln in McClure's Magazine for November. There are five very Interesting ^nd little known portraits of Lincoln, including the early portraits, now first published and showing Lincoln before his lace lost its youthful aspect. These chapters deal VAry fully with the fourteen years Lincoln lived in southern Indiana—from

A timely and unusually novel and attractive feature of the November num ber of Scrlbner's Magazine is a series of Thanksgiving-Fanciee, ten fall-page illustrations by well-known artists.

POWER OF THE JAW8.
The PrcMnre They Kzert In tin Mastic*, tion of Meat Food. According to the investigations of Or. G.
V.
Black, the muscular strength of the jaws compares favorably with that of
auy part of the body. To crash a piece of steak, according to Dr. Black, a bite of 40 to 45 pounds ia necessary—that is, if the proper machine were so rigged that, by seizing a double lever between the jaws, an object could be lifted from the floor, a 40 pound weight oould be raised by the steak. Repeat this effort every time you chew, and you get an idea of how muoh exercise is required to eat one's dinner.
And what makes it harder still is" that most people habitually use much more foroe than is neoessary in chewing thenfood. For instance, in chewing steak whose crashing point is at 40 to 45 pounds, the persons tested by Dr. Black used a foroe of 60 to 80 pounds—from 15 to 40 pounds more than was necessary. All this extra force of course is worse than wasted, but probably the generality of manhood will keep on wasting strength just so till a more systematic method of eating is adopted.
Bat Dr. Biacl: did net conflno himself to steak ia his eirierimen's, llo tested all kinds of meat and found lis at mutton chops may be crushed with nu expenditure of 25 to 40 pounds of strength. Broiled ham and roast beef require the greatest amount—45 to 60 pounds while pork chops may be chewed with a force of 20 to 25 pounds, and the choioest parts of cold boiled tongue with 8 to 5 pounds. These of course are averages. Tough meat of any kind is still harder to crush—for instance, tough beef and mutton tested by Dr. Black required in some cases a crushing force of 90 pounds.
The smallest pressure recorded on Dr. Black's gauge, that of a little girl 7 years old, was 80 pounds. This was with her front teeth, whioh are not used for the crashing processes of mastication. With the molars, which do the chewing, properly so oalled, she could exert a force of 65 pounds—quite enough to crash all but the toughest parts of toughest meats. Several persons exceeded 100 pounds with the front teeth, or incisors, and 200 with the molars. One man—a physician of 85 years—has such strength of jaw that it must for the present remain a mystery, for it exceeded the testing power of the instrument. The gauge registered only 270 pounds, and when this remarkable chewer shut his teeth on it he closed it yith no apparent effort. How far above 270 pounds he could have gone is therefore a subject for speculation.
It will he observed that the doctor measured only the force exerted by the jaws and not the work done by them. This latter is really more important, and it remains for some one, perhaps the doctor himself in a second series of experiments, to ascertain it.—Buffalo Express.
Some Royal Crowns.
The crowns of Spain, Portugal and Poland are all three of the same form, and are described by Colonel Parsons in his "GenealogicalTables of Europe" aB "ducal coronets heightened up with eight arched diadems supporting a mound, ensigned with a plain gbld cross." The crowns of Denmark and Sweden are of almost similar shape, consisting of the eight arched diadems, rising from a marquis' coronet (a circle of gold bordered with ermine, set round with four strawberry leaves and as many pearls on pyramidical points of equal height, alternate), which conjoin at the top under a mound ensigned with a cross botonnee. The kings of most other continental countries are crowned with circles of gold, adorned with precious stones and heightened up with large "trefoils," and closed by four, six or eight diadems supporting a mound snrmonnted by a cross. The trefoil upon the crown is thought to be of Gothic introduction. V*'
We find it upon th6 Coins of Clovis and his sons, which has induced antiquaries to call it the "flower de luce" (the lily of France represented in gold on a bine ground), but, the fact is, these trefoils were used on Constantinopolitan crowns before the time of the Franks, and afterward on those of German princes in no way allied to Charlemagne. Aubrey, a celebrated authority upon heraldry, was of opinion that the flower de luce is really nothing more than a spearhead adorned, no flower of tho lily kind having the middle part solid. The saltan of Turkey bears over his arms a turban, enriched with pearls and diamonds, under two coronets, the first of which is made of pyramidical points, heightened up with large pearls, and the uppermost is surmounted with crescents.—Chambers' Journal.
^oithy Your Confidence. The success of Hood's Sarsaparilla In conquering scrofula in whatever way it may manifest Itself is vouched for by thousands who were severely afflicted by this prevalent disease, but who now re jolce over a permanent cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as a humor, or it may attaok the glands of the neck, or break out In dreadful running sores on the body or limbs. Attacking the muoous membrane, It may develop into catarrh or lodging in the longs lead to oonsumptiom Come as It may, a faithful oourse of treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla will overoome it, for working upon the foundation of all diseases, impure blood, the system is clarified and vitalised, and vigor, strength and health restored to the body.

How ls This?
Japtha Coffman, for the past seven years foreman of W. L. Kidder's immense milling establishment, says he has been a sufferer with Catarrh of the head, and stomaoh, kidney and liver trouble, for the plat eighteen years. His symptoms were suoh during the past summer that bis friends thought sure that he was taking the consumption. After exhausting all other remedies in the fruitless effort to secure relief, he tried the Cascade Treatment. After a thorough test of nine weeks' duration he is in better beakh now than for eighteen years past, and in fact is in perfect health. If you doubt the truth of this call and see Mr. Coffman personally.
One treatment of the Cascade Treat ment, worth fl.00, given free to sufferers this week. Call at once and see Dr. Galley, at the Bath House, foot of Walnut street. _v
