THELITTLE GIRL OF THE"ERESH-
AIR FUND.-

Twas little she knew of the sweet green grass.
With its wonderful wealth of clover,
Which, far outside of the city's walls,
Was spreading the broad fields over.
Vet blue her eyes as the summer skies,
And as sunny her tangled hair
As the goldenest sunbeam ever sent
To lie on the earth SO fair.
What wonder she opened her blue eyes wide
When she learned, one happy day,
That she and many child beside
Were to travel far away,
ITO the fairy place where daisies grew.
And the streets were soft and green"
And her little heart o erfiowed for joy
OF the glad things yet unseen.
Old Farmer Jones on the platform stood
When the train came In at last,
He ciasped in his strong arms fast. +
"For it's never chick nor child have J."
Said he to the agent then,
AN just as true as the heavens are blue
I'll be good to this gal. Amenl'
And he bore her home to the shady farm,
And he ''turned her out to grass" 4
As he .merrily said. And the sun and breeze
Made free with the little lass, tt+f
And kissed her cheeks till they blushed as red
AS the reddest rose that grew,
And innocent mischief peeped from out
The once sad eyes of blue. u W

To watch the chick each day

Along of her happy play.

But just hold on the leetle gal.

PLAQUES.

Cholera has undoubtedly become
epidemic in Egypt, and that unfortu-
nate country is threatened with fate
that recalls the result of other plaques
more or less famous in history, though
none of them exceeds in antiquity or
dramatic interest those of which an ac-
count is given in the first portion of the
book of Exodus, and that preceded the
dcliverance of the chosen people from
the cruel oppression of Pharaoh. The
punishment visited upon the sacrilegious
men of Bethshemesh who opened the
ark of the covenant and were smitten
by a plague which killed $4,000 of
them, and the mysterious manifestation
of Divine wrath when Sennacherib's
mighty host of 1876, 600 men was slaugh-
tered in one night for the deliverance of
Israel and in answer to the prayers of
pious King Hezekiah, may be included
in the Scriptural mention of plaques.
Plaques and pestilence have often
visited the East within the period
covered by authentic records, and
doubtless they were familiar to the
people of that section ages before their
ravages found chronicler.
The plague itself has recognized
place in pathology, and distinct pc
culiarities not found in other ailments,
though the general term plague is APP
piled to various diseases that become
epidemic. True plague, which origi-
mates in the hot eastern countries, is q
high contagious fever accompanied by
painful eruptions. and it has sometimes
ragged with awful effect over the whole
area of Europe. Perhaps the worst
visitation was in the fourteenth century.
when the oriental plague, known by the
ominous and terrifying name of 'sblack
DEATH" swept over that continent;
carrying off the people by thousands.
AT various times since it has reap
peared, though in less virulent form.
Its last appearance in England in
epidemic form was in 1865, and pre-
vious to that year, according to relia-
BILE authority, it had visited the country
at regular periods of thirty to forty
years. But though England was freed
from it, the malady frequently scourged
other parts of Europe. Marseilles in
1920 lost 10000 lives by it. In 1771
and 1772 Moscow suffered to a terrible
extent, and the latest authenticated
presence of the true plague was in
Naples in 1915 and 1916, when great
numbers of the people died. Other
maladies, similar in their nature but
differing in various features, have been
pronounced plaques and have at times
worked dreadful havoc among the resi-
dents of the East and portions of Eu-
rope, and outbreaks of fatal and vio-
lent pestilence in Russia, Poland, Hum
gary and other countries where there
are large masses of impoverished peo-
pie living in poverty and filth are not
yet uncommon. As a rule, these dis
eases gain foothold only where the
habits Of the people and disregard of
sanitary conditions are such as to en-
courage them, and beyond question the
large degree to which England, France
and other countries have been exempt |
from their visitations is due to advance
in personal and official ideas of cleanli-
ness and sanitation, added to better |
knowledge OF the true nature Of the |
