The word Fair is derived from the word feria, a day of rest--a holiday. In early times Fairs were gatherings for the purchase and sale of goods, the hir­ ing of servants, and were occasionally associated with religious festivals and popular entertainments. The ancient Greeks held Fairs in conjunction with popular assemblies for political pur- purposes. The Roman fora, a perma­ nent marketplace, attracted great mul­ titudes at times of festivity and political gatherings and offered special facilities to merchants to sell goods, which gave them the character of Fairs. Fro to that time down to the present we find Fairs in existence in almost every country on the globe. In the fifth century %e find in France the great Fairs of St. Denis, St. Lazare, and Aix- la-Chapelle. Alfred the Great intro­ duced them into England in the seventh century. In the teuth century William the Conqueror encouraged the holding of Fairs and^ranted special privileges' to merchants attending them, such as being frge^Prom imposts and giving them th& protection of the government for their goods and person. St. Bartholo­ mew's Day was long the opening day for Fairs throughout Britain. The lar­ gest Fair in Ireland for the sale of cattle and sheep is held from Oct. 5 to 9 at Ballinasloe in the counties of Galway and Roscommon. Donnybrook Fair, celebrated for its mirth, is now abolished. Fairs of great European importance are those of Germany. They originated there, as in many other countries, •j--* " through religious festivals. Hence Fairs are called Kirchmesaen--church Fairs; the German word Messe (fair) being de rived from Mass. The most prominent Fairs are those of Leipsic, Frankfort-on- the-Main, Frankforton-the-Oder and Brunswick. The immense trading done at these Fairs in all kinds of goods is of great importance to all Europe. Fairs are held at different times of the year at these places. But besides these places almost every town of importance has its Fairs at various times. We might speak of fairs held in var­ ious other countries, but the little space of our paper does not permit us to go into further detail. The only fairs in the United States, properly so-called, are assemblages for the sale aud pur­ chase of goods, generally contributed gratuitously for the benefit of some par­ ticular object--as the building of a church, or the promotion of some char­ itable enterprise. During the civil war very Itfrge sums were raised by the so- called Sanitary Fairs, for the benefit of the sick and wounded. The word Fair is also applied to exhibitions of articles not especially intended for sale at the place of exhibition. The state and county Fairs held in this country are for competivo exhibitions rather than gen­ eral traffi j. The charity Fairs have become^very universal and popular throughout the country. And justly so; for they are beneficial^ not only to the object tor which they are held, but also to society and business in general. A Fair, in the first place, is beneficial to the church, society or charity object for which it is held. The members of a church or so ciety get up a Fair in order to thereby get some aid from outsiders--that is, from the public in general. "\tt would be useless and foolish to hold a Fair if none others but the members ot the church or society which hold the Fair were ex pecteJ to visit »or aid it. If such were the case it would be much wiser that every member give what he can or will, and not go to any expense in order to coax it from one another. The little aid thus received from the many outsiders helps the charity object a considerable. Socially, Fairs are also beneficial, es­ pecially in our land, where the popula­ tion is such a mixed one. Our popula­ tion consists of people of all nationali­ ties, and many are apt to be clanisb and stick to their old customs. The sooner the people are taught to lay aside for eign customs and adapt themselves to the common customs of the land th^ better it will be for all. The sooner all\ foreigners become conversant in the English language the better. Of course they may and should retain a know ledge of their mother tongue also, as it is always beneficial to know more than one language. At a Fair people from various parts meet, become acquainted, see how others do, and therebya learn mote and more to adapt themselves to the country. Learned statesmen and conquerors in traduced Fairs and festivities in order to create more harmonious sentiments among the people. The yonng people of a place should become acquainted with one another; but how will they do so if they have not now and t^ien such places and opportunities of \ doing so? At church is certainly not the place. At sociables or society meetings generally but one sect or class meet. But a Fair affords an opportuni ty for all respectable people to meet and enjoy themselves. Thus socially considered Fairs are bene­ ficial. Fairs Mre also beneficial to the busi­ ness men of a place. The donations they may make to a charity Fiair make a good .impression on all and create a feeling of gratefulness in the people holding the Fair. The business man visits a fair; he spends a little money, becomes acquainted, is spoken of, and thus helps his business more than he is aware of. The entertainments atFair must be adapted to the locality and the people visiting. The people coming to a Fair come with the intention of spending some money, and to amuse themselves. Therefore, opportunities must be offered: them of doing so. Refreshments of an innocent nature must be furnished, and amusements and various opportunities must be given visitors to enjoy themselves and spend th^ir money in a way which is most pleasing to them. A Fair thus properly conducted is certainly bene­ ficial to a p ace. His Ft rst Buntneee Venture. An Am/rican capitalist who has made a fiortune running far into the millions likes to tell a story of his first business venture and how he saddened the local gW>cer. At this time he was fond of frequenting a public salesroom near his home where all sorts Of bar­ gains were offered: One day I noticed several boxes of «oap of a certain brand which I had often been sent to buy at the corner grocery. I thought to myself, "That will go cheap," so I ran to the grocery and received a promise from the man in charge to buy as much of the Boap at a certain figure as I could furnish. Of course he never suspected that I could furnish any of it. I returned to the salesroom, and when the soap was put up I bid it in, and it was knocked down to me. My name was demanded, and when I gave it in a shrilJ voice everybody laughed, for I was then only eleven years of age. Amused as they were at the sale, the bystanders were amassed when I bid in the whole lot of twenty-two boxes. I had them carried over to the grocery and received the price agreed upon. The grocer wore a weary look when he heard how I had obtained the soap. He said: " "Well, I guess I could have done that myself." I replied that I guessed be could, too, but he hadn^t.--Youth's Companion. Man Who Named America. Few Americans are aware of the fact that the name of their continent Is due to a German scholar. In 1507 Martin Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla- comylus, of St. Die, in the Vosges, edited a book called "Cosmographies Introductio," in which he gave a trans­ lation of Amerigo Vespucci's descrip­ tion of his voyages. That was Just lhe time when Ameri­ go's fame filled the world, while Colum­ bus' disgrace overshadowed his merit, and evidently his name had never reached the quiet village in the Vosges when Amerigo trumpeted forth hl£ own glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that, since the new continent was, after all, not a part of the Indies, no name would suit it better than that of his famous explorer, Amerigo. The book was read far and wide, and so quickly was the proposition accepted that, when later on the true discoverer was known, the name was already rooted too deeply in general use to be abolished, and was even extended to the north part of the continent, while Hylacomylus had only meant it for the present South America--National Geographic Magazine. • For Tired Eyes will be greatly strengthened by putting the face down into a glass or eyetup of water the first thing in tlie morning and opening them under wa­ ter.
