in regard to competitivuu. In previous exhilsiions, @ person who for instance had the only cattle of a particular breed in the Province could enter three animals in each section, and thus take every prize without apy competition whatever. The recula- tions this year, however, provide that no individual exhibitor can take more than one prize in any one section, unless there is com petition, or, iu other words, he can-” not be a competitor against himself.

The prize money has been largely increased in all the livestock classes. In the horse list there is a prize offered for a foal of the year of ¢ tion and diplomas are offered for the

best stallion, brood mare and three of her get. Prizes are offered for tandoms, ladies ’sadble horses, best high jumpers, ponies, single, double, four in-hand, and draft horses are placed on a better footing than ever before.

In the cattle classes, among the new prizes are for calf over 6 months and under 1 year, calfunder 6months, and a cow 4 years old and upwards, all for the first time. There are also prizes for a Breeder’s Young Herd, to consist of one bull under 2 years, two heif- ers 1 year old and under 2 years, and two heifers under 1 year; all except the bull to be bred by the exhibitor. This has never been introduced there before, but is very popular m the West. There are also more prizes for grade and fat cattle than heretofore, and a new feiture wil bea milk test. The special prize, gold medal, value $25, to be given for the Thoroughbred or Grade Cow, being the largest producer, quantity and quality to be

considered, judged by weight of milk butter fat and other solids. Test to be couducted on Tursday, Sept joth, t

In the sheep classes, prizes are offered for

regist:red, pure bred, unrecorded and grade sheep. New classes have been added in swine, and special amounts for fat pigs.

A special department has been made for fish- eries and fishing gears, including prizes for cod- fish, haddock, hake, pollock, ling, herring, mackerel, shad, salmon, alewives, oils, canned fish, tinnen haddies, trouting gear, dories. fish- ing boat models, oars, nets, trawls, packages for exportation, etc.

Machinery, manufactures, etc, embrace all

kinds before the public. Another new depart- ure is the fine arts. Prizes are offered for oil paintings, water colors, drawings in outline an! shading. Photography is also new ; the

lit amateur list includes lantern slides, landscapes with or without figures, marine views, interiors, bromide enlargements, not less than 10x12,

instantazeous and photo-micographs. There

are scparate classes for professionals and amateurs,

The ladies’ department is much more exten- sive than before, and a Children’s Department is something new. Prizes are offered for work by children under 12 years of age, and for

work by children under 15 years.

JULY MAGAZINES. HARPERS,

‘he question which is now before the Senate is, In essence, shall the United States enter up- on a career of colonial expansion ? And _ before answering it in the affirmative, the Senate ought to be satisfied that the time has come for us to take our place among the nations that are constantly on the verge of war. Ifit be for our advantage to take Hawaii, how mucl

more advantageous would it be for us to take all the Spanish possessions in the Carribean Sea? If we need outlying posts and _ strategic

points, we need them more in the than in the Pacific, we need, without European powers,

The Sen- ate, which refuses to consider the

Most ef us think these home problems are beyond the power of our politicians, and that there are Opportunities enough for our ‘‘heeiers” and ‘‘strikers” to disgrace us without providing more offices for them in distant lands.

Topeka, KANSAS, June 26—The_ worst hailstorm known in the history of Kansas struck this city last night, ‘Hail stones weigh- ing 12 to 10 ounces strippec the trees of their foliage, smashed windows, including the finest plate glass Store fronts, cut down telegraph and {telephone wires, riddled awnings and inflicted uuprecedented damage throughout the city. Dogs were struck in the street ant instantly killed and horses were knocked to their knees. When the fury of the storm had passed dead birds were found everywhere. Frequent and terrific lightnings accompanied the storm. Topeka looks likea city that has withstood an artillery siege. There are not a dozen buildings in the town that are not al- most windowless and many roofs were caved in. The damage wroughtcan better be imagin- ed*when it is known that the hail ranged in size from that of ahen’s egg to that of an ostrich egg, and that thirty minutes after the storm one haifstone was picked up which measured 14 inches in circumference. Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds of persosn caught in the storm, and reports of iniuries continue to be received,

Like a sperm whale, he had come up to blow, and was not go- ing to be put down till he had finished. But finally he was made to understand that, like the hand organ man, he was @de- sired to move on. With a look of disin- heritance on his countenance, he at last marched off his band to its camp.

On my return the general said: ‘‘I fear that bandmaster’s feelings have been hurt. But I didn’t want him to be wasting his time upon a person who has no ear for music.’’ A staff officer remarked, ‘‘ Well, general, you were at least much more con- siderate than Commodore ——, who, the day he came te take command of his ves- sel, and was seated at dinner in the cabin, heard music on deck, and immediately sent for the executive officer and said to him, ‘Have the instruments and men of that band thrown overboard at oncel’ ”’

THE WIFE OF NANSEN. Romantic Manner In Which the Arctic FExpiorer First Met Her.

Of Dr. Nansen's wife not much infor. mation has found its way into print. She seems to have a very imperfectly developed taste for publicity, but what is known of her is interesting and indicates that she is an uncommon woman both in talent and character. It is recorded by Dr. Nansen’s biographers, Brogger and Rolfsen, that his first meeting with his future wife was in the woods about Frogner Seator, where one day, observing the soles of two feet sticking up outof the snow, he approached them, with natural curiosity, in time to see the head of Eva Sars emerge from a snow bank. Dr. Nansen was married in 1889 after his return from his successful expedition across Greenland. When he started in the Fram in 1893, his wife, left at home at Lysaker, near Christiania, with one child, turned for occupation to the development and use of her gifts asa singer, and with notable success,

King Oscar of Sweden is one of her ad- mirers, and especially likes her singing, which ho has often heard, and since she Las been in England the compliment has been paid her of asking her to sing before the queen. She is a stanch backer of her adventurous husband, whose departure on his perilous errand cost her anxieties and misgivings about which she said little at the time. Since her husband’s return she has sometimes spoken in conversation of her fears, and has said that careful com- parison of Dr. Nansen’s diary with her record or remembrance of her own sensa- tions bears her out in the belief that the times when she was the most concerned about him were the seasons of his great- est peril. That implies a telepathic com- munication born of intense sympathy and solicitude, the possibility of which science seems no longer disposed to deny.—Phila- delphia Times.

Famous Battle Steeds.

The most celebrated battle steeds of the civil war were Cincinnati, Traveler and Winchester, the favorite chargers of Grant, Lee and Sheridan. When the hero of Vicks- burg visited Cincinnati a few months after the close of that brilliant campaign, he was requested to visita dying man, who was exceedingly desirous of seeing him. When they met, the invalid said: ‘‘Gen- eral Grant, I wish to give you a noble horse, who has no superior on the conti- nent, as a testimony of my admiration for your character and past services to our country. ‘There is a condition attached to the gift-—-that you will always treat him kindly.’' Grant accepted the magnificent bay, of course, faithfully keeping his prom- ise, and named him Cincinnati. He was a son of Lexington, with a single exception the fastest four mile thoroughbred that ever ran on an American course, The gen- eral was offered $10,000 for the horse, as he had a record of speed almost equal to that of his famous half brother Kentucky. Cincinnati was a éuperb and spirited steed of great endurance, Grant riding him al- most constantly during the Wilderness campaign, and passing from end to end of our long line. The noble horse was retired soon after the close of the war, enjoying “an old age of dignified leisure’ on a Maryland estate, where his master fre- quently saw him, and where he died and received honorable burial in September, 1874.— Outlook.
