AN English traveller describes a "mys-
terry called the Creation" he saw
performed at Ramberg, in Germany, in
1923. According to his account, it was a
grotesque affair. Young persons had the
wings of geese tied on their shoulders, to
personate angels. Adam appeared on the
scene in big curled wig and brocade
morning gown. Among the animals that
passed before him to receive their names
was well-shod horse, pigs with rings in
their noses, and a mastff with brass
collar. A cows rib bone had been pro-
vided for the formation Of Eve but the
mastiif spied it out, grabbed it, and car
red it off. The angels tried to whistle
him back, but not succeeding they chased
him, gave him a kicking and recovered
the bone, which they placed under trap
door by the side Of the sleeping Adam,
whence there soon emerged IA lanby indi-
vidual, in loose robes, to personate Eve.

REMARKABLE YOUNG WoMAN.-Miss
Lydia S. Hall, who is acting United
States Treasurer in the absence of the
male chief, was once a Lowell factory
girl, and was contributor to the famous
"Lowcll Offering" over the nom dc
plune of Adelaide" The Lowell
Courier says Miss Hall has been mis-
sionary to the Choctaws, and in border
ruffian days lived in Kansas where she
was considerable owner of real estate.
Meeting with some misfortune in regard
to titles Of property, she went to Wash
ington, and has held II clerkship in the
Treasury Department since, being also
engaged in studying law in order to ena-
Bile her to secure her right to her proper
ty in Kansas, which she will no doubt do,
and return to that State, unless she gets
into the Cabinet"

ONE WAY OF MAKING A LIVING
Nelpeau, the French surgeon had two
hospital patients whose business it was to
be knocked down and run over in the
street. When they saw light vehicle
approaching and knew the owner to be
wealthy, they would run in such way
as to get before the horses, to be knocked
down and carried to the hospital, where
they would sue for damages. When the
money thus earned was spent, they would
go out and get run over again. They
generally managed to avoid being seri-
ously injured in this way ; but nearly ev-
cry bone in their bodies had been broken.

and ask no questions. He makes an
attempt to assert that men who pre-
viously had the affairs of the people
entrusted to their care had been guilty
OF appropriating the public funds to
their own use, and for this qason we,
as citizens and taxpayers, must sit
with folded hands and allow the same
thing to proceed from year to year, as
though it were a matter of actual me-
cessity, that we must pay every de-
mand, no matter for what, without
murmur, and call them good fellows.
Perhaps that "Outsider" has had a
finger in the pie, and as a natural con.
sequence feels a little "sore-headed"
over what he fears might yet he the
result in store.
Now, sir, L maintain that a portion
of the taxes assessed on the tax roll
now in the hands of the collector, are
illegally assessed, and, with many 9th
ers, refuse to pay that portion of tax
until such time as the same shall be
contested. 1t must be remembered
that the citizens have rights as well
as the officers, and it now becomes us
to exercise those rights, and ascertain
whethere we are paying what we
justly should, or whether we are throw
ing our money to the fore-winds, or in
other words, filling the pockets of any
and every one who may wish to call
on us for our surplus funds. We are,
in our own opinions, defending our
rights against what we call wholesale
robbery; yes, indeed it is robbery, and
just as long as the taxpayers allow
such things to continue, just so long
they will be eaten up alive by taxes.
We are confident that we are doing
ourselves justice by refusing, as we
have, to pay the tax, and time will tell
who is in the right, and who in the
wrong. A TAXPAYER.

the people "waxed" us in the caucus
ses, and chose other stewards. Never
theless it seemeth not good unto us
that We should now be burdened to
pay the interest on the debt we helped
to make, or return the borrowed mon
ey, or pay the school orders which had
been dishonored by reason of Che ille-
gal payment of school moneys for
township and highway purposes; nor
assist in lifting from of the people the
burdens which brought gain unto some
of us, and they took counsel together,
a very large number, even thirty-eight
souls, and likewise they counsclled with
very high man in that land and he
said, although on another day, now
passed | advised the counselors of the
whole people thus ard so, yet, for a
consideration, and for the money on
my order, will change my advice and
it shall be that when the people by
their representatives, whose legal ad-
wiser l am, shall be assembled togeth-
err in council, | will say unto them this
thing is illegal-and even as Hushai
counselled Absolum against David, so
will | counsel this Board to the
interest that they may be ut
terly defeated and l will draw up
writings and stop the collection of all
this tax. And the thirty-eight calp-
ped their hands with joy and said,
amen - and they sent him a long
journey, and he went and returned,
and he brought back the answer, and
this was the answer: 81 have bored
and struck oil" And the people may
not pay out all their subsistence, that
the money they have borrowed, the
contracts with teachers of schools, the
living of county officers, which you
did promise in good faith, may remain
unpaid get another gear. And the
thirty-eight shouted for joy, and said
if the poor teachers and officers, whose
own we withhold, experienced want
and untold annoyance, what matters
it ? we who are rich save our money,
and next year the whole people can
pay them double. And the thought
was pleasing to them. Howbcit r.? a
large number assented not unto the
cnjoining of the taxes, but some re-
NAMED steadfast and sent again with
papers to complete the work, but the
servant said, by the way; is it wise tc
openly defy the powers that made mt
what l am ? behold shall l not rather
say on my return, the school tax alone
could be defeated, but the county tax
was sacred in the eyes of the law Civ
err? and so advance mine own interes
with the whole people by my breath
which bloweth hot and bloweth cole
as occasion may require.

CHAPTER 7.

On the borders of the land of the
Wolverines, by the waters of the
glorious Huron, even on the Bay which
is called Thunder, there lieth land
of sand covered with pulverizcd
"Nicholson," and flowing with saw
mills and pine lumber, even an goodly
heritage, rough indeed in outward
form, but exceedingly pleasant to look
upon for its business facilities, and dis
tingushed for the enterprise and pluck
of the inhabitants thereof, who, by
their mills and merchandise, log-rolling
and numbering, great stores, ships, their
own trade at home and traffic abroad,
did wax fat aud attract much people
to that place, ms much that they said
Eve will DIVIDE this land from the land
Of Cheboygan," and it was so. And
they called the name of that land AL
pena, and the capital thereof was AL
pena, and the country at the north
having the voice Of seventy-four men
became tributary thereunto, and sent
one representative to her councils;
and likewise the country no the south
ward having the voice of thirty-nine
men, became tributary thereunto, and
sent one representative to their coun'
ellis. and the whole number in council
that counselled together were three
souls, nevertheless Alpcna had $40
votes. But the people murmurmefed
and said, at is not just, for when We
would build up our town and pay our
officers it shall came to pass that the
$40 who are agreed touching this thing,
shall be overwhelmed by seventy-four
from the north and the thirty-nine
from the south, and they took counsel
how they might overcome this evil,
and straightway a war ensued between
those who would have city and
those who would have a village, and
likewise with those who were content
TO remain even as a township, but
some learned in the law arose and said,
go, men of Alpena, with city char
ter we may increase the number of
representatives even by Supervisors
and Controllers, four representatives
may be added, but with only village
charter this may not be so; and their
counsel found favor in the eyes OF the
people and they became a city; and
, they chose one Sethell to be chief ex.
ecutive officer, and Mack was controller,
and controlled one vote on their coun'
ellis"
CHAPTER II.
Now it came to pass in the hrs'
, year of the reign of Sethell that large
> sums of money became due, and wher
the time drew near for the collection
Of the taxes to meet the obligations o.
8 that land the people began to complain
and some said "it is true we be OF tho

THINNING FRuIr.

The Southern papers say there never
was as fine oranges in Florida as there are
this year, and that il is owing to a severe
gale which blew Off nearly three-fifths of
the young fruit, inst after they were fairly
formed. The Germantown telegram
urges lesson from this to be needed by
fruit-grOwers of every class. sfWe taka up
the reports Of the fruit-gro overs societies in
any part Of the community, and note the
great difference Of opinion which prevails
as 70 the quality Of any fruit. One speaker,
perhaps, chsracterizes it as food for the
gods, while another would give It 20 his
pigsl No doubt, If the state OF the facts
could be ascertained, 1t would be found
ths' one had an OTercT0p, and the other but

= an tie grape we know how forcibly
all writers warn us against the evil Of
overcropping. The best vineyardisis cut
away large proportion Of the punches, and
assert not only that It aids the sire but the
quality Of those which are left; and in the
pear itself, we al know how the large, fat,
juicy fellow is far superior 70 the lean scrub
rom the same tree.
"The good effect Of fruit thinning Is not
half enough insisted on; but such facts as
this Of the orange crop may help to do it"

A Dead DeIusiou.

The theory that human beings whose strength
has been exhausted by pain and sickness, can be
restored by depicting medicines and water Cruel,
if not absolutely dead delusion, is IN the last
agonles of dissolution. At length 1t Is under
stood that strength cannot be purged into de
bilitated frame, though life may easily be purged
out of it. and that it is about as wise to withhold
healthful stimulant from the weak, in the ex-
pectation that they viii rally without one, as it
would be to deprive lamp Of oil and expect II to
burn the brighter for it.
The immense and uniform success which has
attended the use Of that wonderful combination
Of a pure stimulant with the finest medicinal
herbs, known as Hostetter's Stomach Bitter,
has largely assisted in dispelling the absurd
chimera. Frantic attempts are made to revive
it, but in vain. When the sick feel that their
strength is departing, and that unless invigorated
they must utterly break down, it Ia in vain to
tender them feculent Stops in the place Of genu-
inc rcstoratives. They may be imposed upon in
this way once, but the imposition cannot be re-
peated. They desire to be refreshed, connfortsd,
braced up, and decline to be griped second
time. s-.
Under the operation Of the Bitrers, on the
other hand, all the processes necessary to physi-
cal restoration go on simultaneously. The sys-
tenn is stimulated and toned the bowels regu-
lated, the appetite cultivated, the nerves com
posed and the condition Of the blood improyedat
one and the same time by single medic,ns-
Common sense tells US that such q preparation
must be invaluable. JET deod1F&EltsdP

FRUITS AND BERRIES as PROMOT.
ERa OF HEALTH.

Fruits and berries at this season Of the
year are not only precious Injuries, but
great promoters Of health. They act upon
the liver, promoting that secretion natu-
rally which many are IN the habit of OBJ
tanning only by the means Of artificial med
ieines. They thus avert many disease
resulting from a torpid condition Of the
liver. Another way in which they act
bene6cialiy Is In the mechinical effect their
little seeds produce in passing through the
bowels, very much the same as the water
ing Of an irritated eye-ball when any hard
substance touches that delicate organ, and
this water, by dissolying the hardened con-
tents Of conStipated bowels, keeps them in
healthier state than any pill or purgstive
invented by the apothecary. There can be
no doubt that in the summer and fall seasons
people who live mainly en- fruits and Der.
ries and coarse bread, can almost ensure
exemption from sickness, while those who
eat heartily Of solid meats and vegetables
two or three times a day are liable to all
the diseases that flesh is heir to.
With Us the use of the apple as an arti-
Gle of food is far moderated. Besides con-
tanning large amount Of sugar, mucilage
and other nutTitiVe matter, apples contain
vegetable acids, aromatic qualities, ETC.,
which act powerfully in the capacity OF re-
frigerants, tonics and antiseptics, and when
freely used at the season of mellow ripeness
they prevent debility, indigestion, and
avert, without doubt, many of the ''ills
which flesh is heir to-" The operators of
Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples
nearly as nourishing as bre ad, and lar more
so than potatoes. In the year 1S01-vhich
was year Of much sczrcity-apples, In
stead Of being converted into cider, were
sold to the poor, and the laborers asserted
that they could "Stand their work" on
baked apples without meat; whereas po-
tato diet required either meat or some
other substantial nutriment. The French
and Germans use apples extensively; so do
the inhabitants of all European nations.
The laborers depend upon them as an arti-
Gle Of food, and frequently make dinner
of sliced apples and bread. There is no
fruit cooked in as many different ways in
our country as apples, nor is there any fruit
whose value as an article of nutriment is as
great and 50 little appreciated.
