THE OLD JEWS As FARMERs.

In his laws, Moses made agriculture
the basis of the State. According to
this principle he apportioned to every
citizen q portion of land, marked by
fixed boundaries. Land grabbing
speculations were prevented by the
law, which required all lands in the
commonwealth to revert to the heirs
of the original owners on the jubilee
wear. The occupation of the farmer
was held in honor from being thus
protected by the fundamental law of
the State. None were so rich or noble
as to abstain to put their hand to the
plOw. Various means were resorted
to by the Hebrews to increase the fer
tility of their soil. The stones were
gathered and built into walls, water
was brought in aquiducts from great
distances, and many kinds of manure
were also used. The hills were terrae-
ed to the very tops, and planted with
vineyards and gardens. They culti-
waited wheat, barley, millet. beans and
perhaps rice. In agricultural imple-
ments the Hebrews were not so far be-
hind the present age as we are prone
to think. Isaiah lived 700 years before
Christ, yet in his day iron plows were
in use, for he prophesied of the time
when swords should be turned to
plowshares and spears to pruning
hocks. This passage shows, too, that
they had instruments for pruning
vines and trees.
The animals used in blowing were
cattle and dOnkeys. Horses were not
in common use among the Hebrews.
The original method of harvesting
grain was TO pull up by the roots, but
sickles were in use among the He
brews from the time Of Joshua. Har-
vesting among them was time of re-
joicing, cheerful sOLgs being heard in
every field. Threshing was effected
by fails, the feet of animals, or by
drags or rollers. Vineyards and olive
groves were extensively and carefully
cultivated. Culinary plants and fruit
trees were among the first objects of
attention. Palestine was said to flow
with milk and honey. Bees were
highly esteemed. Their hives were
made of hay mixed with straw, but
stores of honey were often found in
hollow trees and fissures of the rocks.
One remarkable provision of the
Mosaic law in regard to agriculture
was the Sabbatic year. Every seventh
year was a year Of rest, not so much
to the farmer as TO the farm. Nothing
was sown and nothing was reaped
the vines were not pruned there was
no gathering Of fruit. The object of
this regulation seems to have been to
preserve the wild beasts, to let the
land recover strength, and to teach the
people to be provident and to look out
for the future. but the year was not
spent in idleness. The people could
hunt, fish, look after their bees and
fiocks, repair their buildings or furni-
ture, manufacture cloth, or carry on
commerce.-Joisr. Of Chemistry.

How the Rocky Mountain Air Affects
Lung Diseases.

The reports that have gained cur
rency in regard to the beneficial in
huenee of the atmoshere Of the Rocky
Mountain regions upon persons af-
fected with pulmonary complaints,
have frequently led physicians to en-
tertain erroneous ideas with reference
to the effects Of the mountain air,
and to give their patients extremely
liam D. Kelley, who has experienced
great benefits from a short sojourn in
Colorado and Wyoming, has written
a letter to the Philadelphia Press, in
which he endeavors to correct the
wrong impressions that have OBJ
tained on this subject. He says
that the day is not far distant when
the plains by which one gradually
ascends 5000 feet to the base of the
mountains, and the slopes and valleys
of the mountains, will be recognized
by the world as a vast sanltarium.
There is a health giving power in
their sun and atmosphere that must
be experienced to be appreciated. The
sun shines full three hundred days in
the year, and the brief seasons in
which the rain falls are well defined,
and may, therefore be avoided. For
asthmatic and bronchial diseases the
sun and air of the Rocky Mountains
are almost absolute specifics. So, TOO,
if properly applied, are they for in
cipient diseases of the lungs but pa
tients whose lungs are seriously af-
fected should not go direct to the
mountains, the more attenuated at
mOsphere of which taxes for a time
the power to run, jump, climb hills,
or indulge in other violent exercise,
of those whose breathing apparatus
is not perfect. The aid the mountain
region affords to cOnsumptives from
the seaboard ard Mississippi Valley
States is relief from the humidity Of
the atmosphere and excessive heat of
summer or the moist or excessive
cold of winter; and the lower the al
titude at which they at first avail
themselves of this, the better. PeO-
pie affected with asthma or bronchitis
may find relief in almost any part Of
Colorado or Wyoming that has an
elevation of 5000 or 5000 feet; but
those who are suffering from tubercles
or heart disease should avoid such
heights or only approach them slowly
after strength has been gained on the
lower plains. If cOnsumptive finds
no relief in an elevation Of 900 feet,
it will be we'll for him to go no fur
ther, but rather retraee his steps.
Dyspepsia in all its forms and nerv-
Gus disorders are speedily relieved in
the Rocky Mountain climate, which
offers great advantages to the worn
and exhausted business man, and to
those of either sex who have been
prostrated by over exertiOn or harass-
ing cares.

OPEN WINDOWS AT NIGHT.


The following, on open windows at
night, is from Halls JOURNAL of
Health: Very much has been written
on this subject, and written unwisely;
the facts are that whoever sleeps un-
comfortably cool will get sick. To
hoist the window sky high when
the mercury is at zero il an absur-
dity. The colder a sleeping apart
ment is the more unhealthy does it
become, because cold condenses the
carbonic acid formed by the breath
ing of the sleeper. 1t settles near the
floor and is re-breathed, and If in a
very condensed form, he will die be-
fore morning. Hence we must be
governed by circumstances; the first
thing is, you must be comfortably
warm during sleep, otherwise you
are not refreshed, and Inflammation
of the lungs may be eDgendered, and
life destroyed within few days. An
open door and an open fireplace are
sufficient for ordinary purposes in
cold weather.
When outer windows are opened,
IL Is well to have them down at the
top two or three inches, and up at
the bottom for the same space, in
miasmatic lOcalities-and these are
along water courses, beside millponds,
marshes, bayOus, river bottoms, fiat
lands and the like, it is most impor-
tant, from the finst of August until
several severe frosts have been no.
ticed, to sleep with all external doors
and windows closed, because the cool
air of sunset causes the condensation
Of the poisonous emanations which
were caused by the heat of nOOn-day
sun to rise far above the earth; this
condemnation makes the air heavy by
the greater solidification of the ema-
nations by cold; the resting on the
surface OF the earth in their more
concentrated and malignant form,
they are breathed into the lungs, and
swallowed into the stomach, corrupt
ing and poisoning the blood with
great rapidity. By daylight these
eondensations are made so compact
by the protracted coolness of the
night that they are too near the sur
face of the earth to be breathed into
the system, but as the sun begins to
ascend, these condensations begin TO
rise again to the height of several feet
above the ground, and are freely
taken into the system by every breath
and swallow; hence, the hours of
sunrise and sunset are the most un-
healthy hours Of the twenty-four in
the localities named and noon-tide,
when the sun is the hottest, is the
most healthy portion of the day, be-
cause the miasma is so much rarified
that it aseends rapidly to the upper
regions. The general lessons are:
First, avoid exposure to the outdoor
air in miasmatic localities for the
hours including sunrise and sunset.
Second, have a blazing fire on the
hearth of the family room at these
hours to rarity and send the miasma
upward. Third, take breakfast be-
fore going out of doors in the morning,
and take tea before sundown then
being out after tea is not injurious.

THE POWER OF KINDNESS.

There is an old saying, that it is
Love that makes the world go round.
1t is only by constantly turning
round the great source of light and
heat that our world can exist and il
is only by the warm sunshine of love
that life, and all that is good and beau
tiful in life, can continue.
Love is the great power in the uni
verse that creates and blesses. God is
love. We have all been placed upon
this eaTth-man, and all other erea-
tures-to use it, enjoy it, and fulfill
our part upon it, each in our proper
place, and each according to our ma
ture. If we all use and enjoy our
earthly portion in the spirit of that
love that sustains the world, blessings
abound more and more, misery les
sens, and happiness increases. If we
act against that divine spirit of love,
we are no longer in harmony with the
Ruling Power of the universe, and
misery, confusion and destruction
must follow.
In all the daily things of common
life we may see the working of this
great law of Love.
of them has a brutal father, who
starves and beats him; the other has
a loving father, who cares well for
him and treats him kindly. Which
of those two children will turn out
best, and grow up to be comfort 20
his parents? Suppose, again, there
are two teachers: one of them tries to
teach by brute force, and fiOgs his les
sons into his scholars, till they hate
the very sight OF a book, and always
run away from school when they have
a chance; the other teacher makes
his lessons so pleasant, by the kind
ness of his manner, and by the inter-
est he himself takes in them, that his
pupils like to learn and remember
them, and come to school willingly.
Which of those two teachers has the
most trouble; and which of them sue
ceeds the best?
1t is the same with our other fellow
creatures-the animals. Treat them
kindly, and they will give US their
love; teach them kindly, and they will
give US their service. Every day Of
our short lives we can do something
TO add to the happiness of those that
live with us and about us, or to lessen
their suffering.
The time is surely coming to all of
us when we must bid farewell to this
world. Let us lie down to rest with
the comforting thought that our lives
here have made other lives better and
happier, and that not single need
less pain or sorrow have we eyer eaus-
ed to anything that feels.-ARiHdi

The COnhagratiOns in the Prairies and
Woods in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I WOONb III mluucoVNa anu NAoCtuoAus
The fires which for week or more
past have been sweeping over Mime
sofa and Northern Wisconsin, cover
( sections of the country truly enOr-
nous. That in Minnesota at latest
dates seems to have started in Dakota
Territory, although there is no evil
denee as to the precise locality. The
south end of the coDfiagratiOn is eros
sing Northern Iowa, while the north
ern end reaches far up towards the
head of Lake Superior, and is sweep
ing down the valley of the st. Peter 3
river, and the forests east of the Mis-
sissippi above st. Cloud. It seems
probable that this fire is advancing on
y line nearly three hundred miles
long, and that it has passed over a
territory scarcely less on an average
than one hundred miles in width, al
though the outlines are Irregular
That in Wisconsin is even more terri
BILE, reaching from near New London
through all the country east and north
as high up as MenomOnee river, and.
how much further is not definitely
known. 1t is also following down the
Lower Fox river from Oshkosh to-
wards Green Bay, and a large force of
the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road men have been at work for sew
eral days in protecting the ties and
bridges from destruction. Buildings
have already been destroyed near Fort
Howard, opposite the city of Green
Bay. On the east side of Fox river it
has been equally disastrous, covering
nearly the whole country west of
Munitowoe, and up the peninsula
nOrthward, embracing millions of
the finest timbered land in the West.
The catastrophe is so terrible, involv-
ing so many enterprises and people,
as to amount to a national calamity,
and il has even been proposed to call
the Legislature of Wisconsin together
to devise measures for relief of the suf-
fereTs. Millions in value have been
destroyed, and still the fire fiend pur-
sues its way, human agencies being
utterly pOwerless to arrest il. The
disaster is the most widespread and
terrible that has ever visited the State, !
and will fall with crushing weight on
more than hundred thousand of the
most industrious and deserving of the
population. Large fires are reported
in Michigan, but the extent of the de-
vastation is not yet known. 1t is
probably small in comparison with
that west of the lakes.

The CHRONICLE.
OberIin.. Letter from a TrumbAH
County Student.


EDITOR CHRONICLE: :-Oberlin College
at present is in a very flourishing con-
dition. So fiattering are its prospects
that the trustees have decided to erect a
fine building for the uss Of the Theolo-
gical Seminary. It is expected that this
will be quite an ornament to the place,
as it is to cost between thirty and forty
thousand dollars. The site selected is
west Of the large church. Work will
probably be begun on it early in the
spring. This term is passing away very
pleasantly. The attendance I under
stand is larger than it has been for sew
ersl terms. Our catalogue last year re-
ported the yearly attendance at twelve
hundred and twenty-one. The next
one which will be out in a few weeks,
will probably report a larger number.
One thing which tends to make this
term much pleasanter than the two last,
is the fact that our much loved presi-
dent, James II. Fairchild, is again with
Us. He returned from his travels in the
East the last Of August, having been
gone over nine months. Although the
college was managed during his absence
by the professors, so as to give satisfac-
tion to the new students the older ones
realized that their leader was away.
Since his return, he has delivered two
lectures; one on collection of Art in
the Old World" the other on Journey
ings in the Holy Land" Both were
listened to by large audiences. On the
18th of November, The National Coun-
ell Of Congregational ministers, is to
meet in this place. understand there
will be between five and eight hundred
ministers present, representing all the
Congregational churches in the country.
A very interesting time is expected.
Ex-Pres. Finney, although now nearly
four score years Of age, still breaches
regularly in the large church. Forever
twenty years has he ministered there
without ever receiving any salary or
donations. During this time thousands
of souls have been led by his
preaching to the Lamb Of God that
taketh away the sins Of the world" In
the new church, Prof Mead of the
Theological department, formerly Of
New Hampshire, breaches, giving gen.
eral satisfaction. There seems to be
quite 8 religious interest at present, and
many are asking "Whst they must do
to be saved" Christians are looking for
a revival this term. One other item I
must not omit. 1t seems that a young
druggist from the city of Niles, has been
making frequent visits to this, his native
place. The result of his last visit, was a
wedding in the Episcopal church last
Tuesday. Success attend, them, say
Oberlinites. More anon. TRUMBULL.

HONESTY REWARDED.-AtO touching
story, the moral of which is that
honesty is the best policy, is told by
the New York Standard. Z. Two
honest men whose initials are respec-
lively c. and G. met in New York
some time since. They were afflicted
with congestion of pocket book, and
they didn't know how to raise what
is popularity known as the wind.
But c. became possessed of an idea,
and it was a happy one. This is
the plan, he said. Iive found a man
fool enough to lend me 500. The
great race between LOngfellOw and
Helmbold comes off next week at
Saratoga. Well go. There'll be the
heaviest kind of odds bet on Long
fellow, of course. I'll back HelmbOld
and you'll be stakeholder. After the
first bet you give me the stakes and
Ill bet the whole amount, make you
holder again, stake them again, bet
again, and so ON. Then we suddenly
leave and divide the pile. See ?"
This proposition, which was highly
an original one, we believe, was &C
cepted. ION the day of the great
contest" says the Standard, they
were on the ground. The plan worked.
Soon G., as stakeholder, had s., 900 in
his possession, then they thought it
convenient to leave before the race
came off. They went. During the
race they were coming to New York
at the rate of thirty miles sn hour,
planning to rustieate until the affair
blew over. When they came out of
the Hudson River railroad depot the
first news they heard was that Helm
bold had won They we've not as
tonished, perhaps-at least not more
so than everybody else. They had
fairly won their money! They were
honest men and need not run away.
They didn't. Virtue is its own re-
ward-Honesty is the best policy :"

A YOUNG and newly-fledged Juetiee
of the Peace in Illinois was recently
called upon for the first time to marry
a couple. He nervOusly looked
through Every Man his Own Law
yer.n and Mains Township Laws, ~
but failed to find the desired form
The crowd grew impatient, and he
told the couple to hold hands. This
done, he pronounced the following
charge: "You and each of you do
sOIemnIy swear that in the ease now
upon hearing you will tell the truth,
and that you will love, honor, cher
ish and obey each other during the
term of your natural lives, so help
YOU GOd.n Both answered solemnly,
''I WILL" and the Justice charged
them a dollar each, and pronounced
them man and wife.
