The Plaques of History.

The threatened cholera epidemic has
called attention to the great plaques re-
corded in history, aud glance at some of
the events may reconcile US to grateful
feeling for the comparative freedom from
| pestllence III late years. The earliest
plaques which there are any account of
those described in Exodus, occurred in
Egypt 1491 B. G. In 534 b. G. there was a
plague at Carthage so terrible that parents
sacrificed their children to propitiate the
gods. In 1877 B. c., in the Greek Island 8,
Egypt, and Syria, people died at the rate
OF 1000 day. In Rome A. D. 80, 10, 900
persons died daily. Another plague at
Rome A. d. 256 took off 5000 day. In
430 Britain was scourged so that the living
were hardly abs to bury the dead. During
the years 746-749 Constantinople lost
2O00 600 of its population. At Chichester,
England, in 772. 1900 people died, and
IN 954 Scotland lost 10000 people. Ireland
was sorely visited in 1172 and 1904, and
again in 1889. AT that time, also, 200 peo-
pie were buried daily in Loadon. In 1907
London lost 80 900 citizens There was a
fearful pestilence at Oxford in 147l. The
dreadful Sweating sickness" occurred in
London in 1896, and again in 1917. In
most of the towns half the people died,
and Oxford was depopulated. In 1922
thousands were swept away in Limerick.
The sweating sickness revisited England
IN 1928 and again in 1851. In 1904 3d.
57o people persisted of plague in London
Constantlnople again lost 100000 people
III 1911. In 1925 London lost So All in
habitants. In 1882 Lyons lost &C, 900. In
1856 100000 people died at Naples in six
months. In 1864 London's great plagu
took off 6S, 5a6 inhabitants. In 1920 10000
people died at Marseilles In 1773 $4,000
inhabitants of Bossora, Persia, died of
plague. In 1892 100000 persons died of
plague in Egypt. In Barbary 5000 people
died daily, and in 1899 247 900 people per-
lshed at Fee. Asiatic cholera first appear

EARN AND FIREsIDE.

SALT AND SHEET am pleased to see
that writer's and flock owners are getting
awakened on this important subject. If
farmers and stock raisers would make
larger drafts on the salt barrel.
think disease would make less frequent
lnroads on their pockets. If sheep raisers
would see that their focks received all the
salt they wanted, there would be fewer
calls on the pelt buyer. I have practiced
allowing sheep free access to salt for three
years, and find it an advantage to the
flock. Sheep can be allowed free access
to salt without injury, if they are accus-
toned to it gradually. They should be
given little salt every day, until they
will leave part of it, when they may be
allowed free access to it In any quantity.
without danger.
When sheep are confined to dry feed, it
will be an advantage to add little flower
OF sulphur to the salt-say one pound to
six or seven pounds OF salt-It will prevent
the stretches. | also think it will help to
rid flock OF ticks, as my lambs, when
first commenced to use it, were badly in
tested with them-so much 80 that part OF
them were very ragged from rubbing and
biting themselves. The next Spring, when
they were shorn.- very few ticks were
found, and they have not been troubled
with them since. The sheep had not bean
dipped, nor any other method used to get
rid OF the pests.-Cor. Nut. Livc Stock

Washington as a Legislator.

The fact that Gen. George Washington
once represented Frederick county in tn,
House of Burgesses at Williamsburg il
recalled to recollection by writer IN tn,
Winchester Times. He "stood" for the
county in 1858. The country at that time
was of extensive dimensions, running
from the present Rockingham line on the
south to the Potomac on the north, anG
bounded east and west respectively by
| the Blue Ridge and the Great North OF

ties OF Shenandoah formerly Dunmore)
Page. Warren, Frederick, Clarke, Jeffer
son, Berkeley and a part of Morgan
The county seat was Winchester, and the
Courthouse WAS the only precinct.
At the election of 1858 the principal
public interest was in the effort to obtain
regular aud sufficient allowances for the
militia and v, lunteers who for some years
had been constantly engaged in maintain
ing the frontier settlement. The French
war was still in progress, and the French
and Indians were a constant menace to
the peace and safety of the people of t he
county.
Washington was but twenty-six years
old. and was not native or resident of
the county. But his gallant action in the
disastrous retreat after Braddock 3 death
was the one bright thing in the gloom of
that painful event, and it had given him a
strong hold upon the people who we're
nearest to and most interested in those
military movements, so important to their
safety.
He wanted to become member of the
House of Burgesses because he knew the
needs of the people and felG that he could
do them good. He doubtless also had an
other motive that was probably not sug-
gested very conspicuously to the voters.
He was engaged to be married to the wild
ow GUSTS, who was Miss cambridge, ard
whose people lived on York river. A
winter then in the gay capital of Williams
burg was delightful way of spending the
honeymoon, and it is not at all improbable
that the widow herself suggested that
seat in the House of Rurgesses would add
something to his dignity, make retirement
from military service graceful, and be to
her altogether "suob nice thing"

But business is business, and when the

doubtless paid it after the closest scrutiny,
