Leprosy in the East.

The lepers of the East are tile
most loathsome objects that meet
the travellers eye. Here is de-
scription of one, given in letter
from Jerusalem, by.a correspond
ent of the Morning Star; 4
Suddenly there starts up a hui
man being at your feet. You stop
in horror. You turn away in dis
gust at the sight. But still she
throws herself in your path, and
will not go. The hair and eye
brows have fallen from the poor
beggar. Through yawning sores
that are fostering and black pro-
trude the cheek bones! The flesh
is drawn away from the glistening
teeth They are distorted masses
of sores-gaping wounds. The
Ihands which she holds up are evil
IDENTIFY dropping away; joint by
! joint, as the disease grows upon
them. Nearer she moves those
shrivelled arms and legs, drawing
their rags about them, and smiling
at your horror with a CHASTITY,
sickening smile. She tries to
speak, and with fascination
strangely peculiar to whatever is
perfectly lovely or awful, you bend
down to hear her. There is a
hoarse gasping rattle in the throat,
and leper voice comes scarcely
to be understood: "Ho,cyii Allah
Bucl'seechf ''Traveler, in The
name of God, money!
By her is beautiful little girl.
What has she, with flesh so soft
and white, to do with that hideous
being? How deep are those black
eyes! Her gentle voice is full of
music, as a lark at sunrise, and her
lips are as fresh as a new blown
rose. Her long hair fails with the
folds of her head-dress half way
down to her chubby bare feet,
and there is a lightness in her step
that fills you with admiration.
Would you know who she is?
That child is a leper. In a few
years she is sure to be lust like
her mother, who just now begs
of you a few bits Of money. Poor
thing, to be born to such a fate,
and no possible hope! There is a
worm at the heart of that rosebud.
Is not her voice more sad than her
parents, though gently and sweet
ly she smiles as she says: "Allah,
BucA;seech H0,cgW!
Do you see those wretched no.
wells just west from the gate of Je-
rusalem, clinging to the side wall !?
Dirt and filth surround them
Their matched roofs seem about
to fall. 1t is the lepers' quarter.
The law forbids their touching you
or mingling with othermen, SO that
none go to minister to them. But
the law does not rebuke their
want, and SO they throw them
selves in your path, as their ances-
tors, the lepers Of Samaria, did
boldly through hunger approach
the Assyrlan camp. They recog-
nize no law among themselves, nor
even the form of marriage. Pas
sion consumes the finer feelings,
and rules their souls just in pro-
portion to the leprosy which is ev-
er increasing ON the body. Their
offspring inherit curse-no joy
no hope, only curse-cursed
by the world and by their parents,
they soon learn to curse themselves.

Training the Tomato.

In cultivating the tomato IN large
market gardens. the plants are usually
pinchcd before their final transplanting,
and they are left to grow without any
support but in small gardens, not only is
greater neatness observed by taking some
pains to train the plants, but the fruit is
improved both in quantity and qualify
There are several methods Of training
One which. if not altogether the simplest,
is one of the neatest. is described by Mr..
G. NJ. ChildS, of Hancock Co., Ill.,
As soon as the plants are large enough,
transplant to rich, light soil, one in a hill,
and at least five feet apart each way. AT
least once week. scoop the earth away
from around the plant, and pour on a
ouart or more Of soap suds. When the
plant commences to branch, cut oft the
outer branches this will have tendency
to increase the size of the stock, and cause
it TO grow bushy. After the plants are
sixteen Or eighteen inches high, they
should be provided with frames. make
mine by splitting standards from pine
boards. five and one-half feet long: and
sharpen the lower ends. To these stand
ards are nailed Stats made by saving four
feet laths into three pieces. The frames
are made thirteen inches square, mailing
the lower Stats at fifteen inches from the
bottom of the standards, the upper ones
at the top, with others midway between
the two. Frames made in this way have
been in use five years, and, with a little
repairing. will last some years longer
When the branches extend beyond the
Stats and over the top OF the frame, clip
them, leaving one leaf above the fruit
stems, and continue to do this through the
season. The plant trained thus and show
ing its ripe and ripening fruit, forms a
most beautiful Object, and one tomato
grown in this way is worth a dozen as
usually cultivated. Last year | had
twcnty-onc plants, from which | gathered
an abundance Of fruit for table use and
canning, for family of five persons, be-
sides distributing from five to SIX bushels
among my friends. No one need to be
afraid to use the knife freely, az there is
no danger that the plant will not fruit
abundantly. In my experience the diff
Guilty has been to keep it from fruiting too
much. "-Amu1cm Agncuh,uist.
