Baudad's &" Date Mark "

~ Bagdad, according to medical author
ity, is distinguished for curious and
mysterious malady, which affects every
inhabitant Of the city, whether citizen OF
stranger. 1t is sore, called "date
mark" because after it has healed it
leaves an indelible mark about the size
and shape of a date. Itgenerally makes
its appearance upon the face, lasts a
year, and then disappears. The cheek
Of nearly every man and woman in Bag
dad shows the inevitable mark. Some
times it settles upon the nose, and then
the Disagreement is great; sometimes on
the eyelid, when blindness results.
Strangers are attacked even after brief
residence; but fortunately, if they are
adults, the sore is more apt to- appear
on the arm. In every case the attack
runs it's course for one year, and no
treatment accelerates or retards it. DIR.
Thorn has examined the ulcer micro
scopically, and finds it to be composed of
fungoid growth.

After Twenty-One Centuries.


After twenty one centuries the re-
mains of the 800 yonng Thebans, for
merly the /" Sacred Battalion" who fell
at the terrible battle Of .Cheronea have
now been dug up. During the summer
excavations have been made around the
gigantic memorial lion which was
placed in the center of the field to COM
'memorate the deeds of heroism of that
dark Iay:S wall twenty-five yards in
length and fifteen yards in breadth was
first found beneath the SOIL. Within
this inclosure at depth: of four yards
lay the bones Of 1856 Thebans, resting
side by side, ranging; in rowss'oof forty,
each ili the attitude in which she Lid
died. Seven such rows have, been
found. They are so placed that the
heads Of those of the second rank re-
pose at the feet of the first. All bear
the marks of the blows which caused
their death. One of them has both
thighs pierced by thrusts of the spear;
third has the skull terrible hacked: a
a-fourth, whose head swonderfully well
preserved, had the mouth still wide
open, as if he breathed. This last will
be conveyed to the museum Of Antiqui-
ties at Athens. What is especially no.
tieeable about it is that The Jaws possess
every tooth in perfect order. No wea-
pons have been found. -" ~. g - '.S'

The Poetry of Farm Life.

There was always an element of pO-
etry about farm life, and now the ex-
quisitely made agricultural machines
add to the charms Of agriculture The
pow, with its slim. shining share,
striped and decked with the utmost
gayety, suggests not stupid and mel
mcholy hind, wearily plodding, but Il
young fellow riding at his ease as joy
Gus as Apollo himself. The saw mills,
small, compact, neat of make, and of
ideal beauty, each with its own porta-
ble engine pouring forth smoke on the
fine, warm October air, stand here on
the grass, limiting of Il jOcund forest
life very different from that of the
shabby, messy, rickety old mill dear to
artists. Going sight seeing ont of
doors does not weary people. One can
look at Berkshire pigs, poultry and
COtswOld sheep all day unweariedly.
The different breeds of kline are as in
teresting and beautiful as different
kinds of lace, and not so fatiguing. The
ranges of sheds containing the straw
berry red Durhams with their short,
curling horns; the huge, dark tiny
brown and fawn tinted Jerseys; the
spotted Aldernys, and the little folds of
white and red calves are as fascinating
as a picture gallery, without firing one.
Each rare "crtter" has his pedigree
nailed on its doorpost.
Look at one of the fourteen pounds
of butter per week cows standing knee
deep in her straw bed She turns her
delicate, pointed profile toward you
and rolls an eye round, black, full, intel
ligent, with look expressing every do
nestle affection gcntleness, kindness
and patience. No wonder our fathers
born in heatheneSsc, worshipped these
fair creatures to idolatry. Working
around to a group of silent, absorbed
men gazing into stall, you look over
their shoulders. Deep in clean, golden
straw reposes bull, silken-sded, pearl
horned, ivory-hoored. his hide covered
with lustrouS, wayy, chestnut hair. 1t
is hard TO stop looking at his fierce,
beautiful face. a glorious pet, indeed.
"Oh, Attic shape! Fair attitude!' Who
would not love to be the farmer to own
such treasure?

A Wooden Hat.

Says the American Marhinist: Some
how about the year 1850, travelling
mill-wright, footSore and with the
brOadcst northern Doric accent. stop
ped at Soho, at the engine factory of
Boulton ~ Watt, and asked for work.
His aspect was little better than one of
beggary and poor looks and Boulton
had bid him God speed to some other
shop, when. as he was turning away
Sorrowfully' Boulton suddenly called
him back.
"What kind of Il hats yon yc have
ON your head, me man,
ITS Just thinner, sir"
"Timmer, me mon; let's look ut it.
Where did You get it?"
81 just made it, sir, me ainsel."
"IIow did you make itE'
81 Just turned it in the lathie.'
"But it's oval, mon, and the lathe
turns things round -
"a WHEEL | just gard the lathe
gang anither gait, to please me. I'd Il
lang journey afore me, and | thoct to
have hat to keep out water, and |
hadna' muckle siller to spare, and |
made me ane."
BY his inbom mechanism the man
had invented an oval lathe and made
his hat, and the hat made his fortune.
Boulton was not the man to lose so
valuable Il help; thus the after famous
William Murdock-the originator of
locomotives and lighting by gas-took
suit and service under Boulton & Watt,
and in 1884 made the first vehicle inn
PEELED by steam in England, and with
the very hands and brain cunning that
had produced the thinner hat"

The Elm and Maple.

The elm, beautiful rs it is for arOad-
side tree. and to shade the homestead,
is obnoxious agriculturally. The roots
run as far certainly as the tree is high,
and rob all other plants within this
distance of the food they need. See
that row of clms along the boundary
wall, with the comlield on the other
side. In the influence of the trees,
though not shaded by them, the corn
will he found smaller than further on
and during dry time the corn is seen
to shrivcl-all of which goes to show
what feeder and drinker the elm is.
1t requires liberal manuring to get good
moving within forty feet of this tree.
The maple seems only to injure by
its shade The roots do not apparently
extend far, nor do they occasion other
plants to want, to any great degree,
either food or water, and they can he
successfully grown in close vicinity.
Not to speak of this tree as sugar
maker it is on other accounts the farm
er's tree beyond most Others, and should
be his favorite. For cities we com
mend the elm. Its habit of growth
raises its branches high in the air and
allows of circulation of air, and leaves
the mobstructed view for Il consider
able space in height and breadth up
and down the avenue. While its leafy
bowers give ample shade by day, it
is yet not so close as to shut out the
rays of the moon by night, and SO
unduly darken the avenue. The
network of roots filling the ground
below, makes the roadway dark, and
consumes the filth always settlingdown
in city soil, leaving it more wholesome
The village, with its more open
streets and larger spaces, gives ample
room for the maple, which does not
fill its front yards with roots to the eX.

of money, as IA means of paying taxes

THE MINISTER'S DAUGHTER.

In the minister's morning sermon
lie had told of the primal fall,
And how hcnCefOrth the wrath of God
Rested on each and all,
And how, of His will and pleasure,
All souls, save a chosen few,
Were doomed to the QuenchlesS burning,
And held in the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths unreasOn
A saintlcr soul was tried,
And never the harsh old lesson
\ tenderer heart belied.
And after the painful service,
On that pleasant sabbath day,
He walked with his little daughter
Through the apple-blOOm Of May.
Sweet in the fresh, green meadows
Sparrow and blackbird sung;
Above him their tinted petals
The blOSSOming orchards hung.
Around on the wonderful glory
The minister looked and smiled;
"IIow good is the Lord who gave us
These giftSIfrOm His hand, my child.
"BchOld in the bloom of apples,
And the viOlctS of the Sward,
A hint of the old, lost beauty
Of the garden of our Lord"
Then up spakc the little maiden,
Treading on snow and pink:
"Oh, Father these pretty blossoms
Are very wicked, think.
clad there been no garden of Eden,
There never had been a fall;
And if never tree had bloSsOmcd,
God would have loved us ALL"
"IIush, child" the father answered.
by His decree man fell;
His ways are in clouds and darkness,
But he dOcth all things well.
"And whether by His ordaining
To MS cOmeth good or ILL,
JOY or pain, or light or shadow,
We must fear and love Him still
"Oh, fear Him :" said the daughter,
"And try to love Him, too;
But wish He was good and gentle
Kind and loving rs you
The minister grOancd in spirit,
As the trCmulOuS lips Of pain
And wide, wet eyes, upliftcd,
Questioned his own in vain.
Bowing his head, he pondercd
The words Of the little one;
Had he erred in his lifelong teaching?
Had he wrong to his Master done?
To what grim and dreadful idol
Had he lent the hOieSt name?
Did his own heart, loving and human,
The God Of his worship shame?
And, 10 from the bloom and greCnncSS,
From the tender skies above.
And the face of his little daughter,
He read lesson of love.
No more as the cloudy terror
OF Sina'S mount of law,
But rs christ in the Syrian lilies,
1hcyision Of God he saw.
And rs when. in the clrftS of lIorcb
Of old, was His presence known,
The dread Inetfahlr Glory
Was Infinite Goodness alone.
Thereafter his hearers noted
In his prayers tcudrrrr strain,
And never the gospel Of hatred
Burned on his lips again.
And the ScOring tongue was praycrfui,
Aud the blinded eyes found sight,
And hearts, as flint aiurrtimc,
Grew soft in his warmth and light.
