The FalIoyv Field


The FalIow Field. Nj
The days were bright, and the year was young.
As the warm sun climbed the sky;
And thousand flowers their censers swung,
And the larks were singing high;
For an angel swept on silent wing
To the grave where the dead earth lay;
And the Easter dawned as the angel Spring
Rolled the rugged stone away.
Then the fields grew green with sprlnging corn
And some with flowers were bright;
And each day came with an earlier dawn,
And FULLER, sweeter light.
30 the year grew older noon by noon,
Till the reapers came one day,
And in the light OF harvest moon
They bore the sheaves away.
But one field lay from the rest apart,
All SILENT lone, and dead;
And the rude share ribbed its Quiyerng hea,
/ TIN all its life had he'd
And never blade, and never flower
on its silent ridges stirred;
The sunshine called and the passing shower
1t answered never a word.
It seemed as If some curse Of Ill
We're broodlng In the air,
Yet the failow Held did the Masters will
Though never blade II bare;
For 1t turned its furrowed face to heaven,
Catching the light and rain:
It was keeping Its Sabbath--one In seven
That 1t might grow rich agaln.
And the fallow field had It's harvest moon,
Reaplng golden spoil;
And It learned Its frightening noon
That rest for God was toll.

The Flr.. Canned Fruits.

1t is singular fact that America is inr
iebted to Pompeii for the great industry Of
canning fruit. When the excavations were
just begun party of Cincinnatians found,
In what had been the pantry of . house,
jars of preserved figs One was opened,
and they were found to be fresh and good.
Investigation showed that the figs had been
put into the jars in heated state, an aper-
ture left for the steam to escape, and then
sealed with wax. The hint was taken, and
the next year the canning Of fruit was in
troduced in the United states, the process
being identical with that in vogue in POM
peii twenty centuries ago.

AyTUMNAL FEVERs.


aosy W Ott&tHs
Annually at this season in many places.
more or less persons suffer from febrile COM
plants. These patients become sick gradu-
ally as rule, something as follows They
grow weak the appetite Is lost; fugitive
pains in various parts of the body, especial
ly the head and back, are common the
skin becomes jaundiced in some cases
many suffer from nose bleeding and all suf.
fer moresor less from chilliness, which ia
slight and repeated in part of the cases
and in others occurs In one severe chill
Some of the fever patients cough and have
bronchial and lung complications; the
tongue Ia furred and oil the operations Of
the, system are more or less deranged and
the patient goes to bed, where he remains
from two weeks to as many months and
finally RECEIVERS. or he may become progress
sively worse and finally perish, exhausted.
The medical people, when inquired Of,
say these are malarial fevers; remittent,
intermittent and typhoid are names also
often applied to these fevers, and while these
names express we'll the course of the febrile
movement, they really give but little infor.
nation as to the nature of the case.
The abnormal conditions in question are
the result OF at least three causes, viz, spe-
cifc poisoning, atmospheric influences and
general debility. A brief consideration of
these points may help TO make these trou-
bles more plain and may interest some.
The prevalence of general debility at this
season is but natural consequence, seeing
that during the summer the sleeping time is
reduced to minimum, and also that by the
summers heat the appetite is often impaired.
Couple these events with the idea that many
must make hay while the sun shines, and
we will have very good reasons for the con-
ditions assumed.
The atmospheric influences at work are
chiefly the sudden and great changes in the
temperature Of the atmosphere between
night and noon 30 well known are tho ex-
hausting midday heats and chill midnight
sir Of this season that further reference to
this point is unnecessary.
The specific poison Of the diseases in
question is an assumed factor in the case.
This poison has not been isolated and shown
to men as one would show sample OF salt
or sugar, but the probabilities are strongly
In favor Of the existence Of such q substance,
most likely in the shape of microscopic
point; o bacillus or rnicrobe. Dampness
and decaying matters are believed to favor
the growth of this plant, for the reason that
the diseases in question prevail most mark
eddy in low lying districts. General weak
ness Ia probably the most marked predis-
posing cause Of these complaints, for when
one is in hrst-clnss general health these dis
eases are much more mild In character; In
fact, under these circumstances, their oc-
currence Ia infrequent. Autumnal fevsrs
are best cured by rest and the use Of the
derivatives Of the cinchona tree, circum-
stance which goes far to prove the truth Cd
assertions just made as to their cause.

Our Women Improving.

Three or four decades ago American men
and women were generally lean and bony.
Our women especially were lank and thin.
OF late years, however, change in the
shape Of our people has been noted. The
change ia not yet very marked in the men,
but the women are growing round and fat.
At our watering places, whore people from
all parts Of the country congregate, bony

are plump aud we'll rounded. II 10 TO be OBJ

'Do you think steamboating would be
a good profession for a womanl"
Certainly not, unless it had come to
her. not she to it-as in my own case.
Steamboating was forced on me, and the
happiest thing it has taught me is that
whatever a man may learn to do, a woman
may also, provided it is not a question Of

Somebody poked an enquiring head in

The Best Liked Travellers.

Yes, sir, can tell in a general way,
within ten minutes after his arrival,
about almost every man who comes up to
register, " said a well-known hotel clerk
to a reporter of the Detroit Free Press.
What are the points,"
"Your old traveller comes up and puts
down his name. sees that he is assigned
to room and we hardly hear from him
until he pays his bill and leaves the CITY,"
"You mean your reasonable old
traveller"
Nearly all old travelers-men who
have been on the road ten or fifteen
years-are reasonable. Then there is the
young old traveller, the person who had
been kiting through the country year or
two. He puts down his name, calls yon
old boy, and all the time insinuating
that he hates to kick, that he is easily
satisfied, demands an outside room with
bath, not too high up"
How do you satisfy themW
We do the bestw can and make them
believe they have got the best in the
house solely through their knowledge of
travelling ways and their quiet demeanor.
what is next on the list"
"The novitiate-the man making his
first trip He knows it ALL He comes
to the front with what he got in Buffalo,
Cleveland or Chicago, how nice he found
this or that hotel, and Now, my dear
fellow, expect to visit you about four
times year and want you to do well by
me. He gets his room, and no matter
if it's a first st-floor-fronter, he grumbles;
he swears at the bell-boys, curses the
hall men, complains in the dining-room
and in every way makes himself nui-
sance."
'''What is the most interesting class of
travelers"
"The once-a- year visitor who makes a
| trip of fifty or 100 miles away from his
| home. He comes to the counter in a
strange sort of way and registers, the
chances being that he writes his name
! forty per cent. worse than usual. Then
| he draws a sigh and looks the Office and
the clerks over pretty thoroughly. Then
he leans against the counter and takes a
/ tooth-pick between his teeth. Strolling
over to the water faucet he takes drink
and begins to examine time tables, ad-
vertising clocks and play bills. You see
he's not only a stranger, but he feels
/ lonesomeend does not know where to go
or what % do. Presently he comes up
to the counter and asks for his key, say
ing that he 'guesses he will go up to his
room So he disappears, but down he
comes in about ten minutes and gets a
cigar and drink of water, after which
he again goes over the timetables and
advertisements. At last, staring at the
clock, he asks us what the time is, and
getting a reply he goes to bed to dream
that he wouldn't live in a city if they
would give him the whole town."
(Which class do you like best?"
"The genuine old traveller has fire
choice, and the once-a-year man comes
second"

Henry Clay's Last Visit to the House.

Henry Clay's last visit to the House OF
Representatives, over which he had pre-
sided so long and well, was at the fu-
neral of Mr.. Kaufman, of Texas, in
February, 1851 He did not come in
with the Senators, but he entered the
House alone, and took his seat immedi-
ately in front of the Speaker. He did
not remove his blue cloth cloak, but re-
mained we'll wrapped up and unvarying
in his position. Ihad never before seen
him look so much like an old, old man.
The damp and gloomy day perhaps con-
spired with the passing scene to depress
him, or it may be that he was not in
health. l do not know, but sure
/ am that from his appearance no one
would believe his voice could be even
audible in the Senate, much less that, by
the power of his eloquence he could con-
troll or influence its deliberations. His
face shrunken and shriyeled, his eyes
lustreless and heavy, his mouth IN repose
only when open and expressionless, he
seemed to have so long since passed into
the - lean and slippered pantaloon as
to be no longer suited to the ardent en-
counters Of the Senate. And yet, with a
few rays of sunshine upon his brow and
upon his heart, how he could be himself

that-that anything so unpleasant could

you that you were capable of better
things, and that you were wasting your

"It has indeed ~ he returned, sadly;

after a while, that all this was for the

his hand to her.
81 shall not see you again, then?" she
faltered.
81 think not. We could not meet as
we have heretofore DONE you see.
He held her hand moment, looking at
her with eyes in which lay yaworld ofpain;
then, without another word, he turned
and walked away.
Theresa was very glad to hear from her
brother that evening that he would be
able to arrange his business so as to leave
Boxborough the following day. She felt
that it would be a great relief to her to
know that twenty miles of mountainous
country separated her from George Eel
ton, of whom she could not think with
out pain and self-reproach.
But she said nothing to Harry of her
anxiety to be gone, and packed her valise
with such apparent indifference that he
laughingly accused her of regretting the
necessity which compelled it.
"By the-way," he said, as he was driv-
ing her back to Knoxville the next day,
'you have not told me anything about
your experiment. How did 1t turn
out 2"
''Not very well, " answered Theresa, in
a low voice.

Theresa let this charge pass in silence.
She did not care to make a confident of
her brother, and so would not enter into
any argument which might lead to en-
barrassing questions.
Three months later she saw in Knox
vile paper a notice of the marriage of
Samuel Cosgrove and Matte Collins, of
Boxborough; but of George FELTON, she
never heard again. Whether he ever re-
covered from the wound she had given
him, whether he continued to pursue the
studies he had begun under her direction,
she never knew.
When telling her experiences in Tenne-
see to her friends in Washington, she was
always careful to avoid any mention of
that very unfortunate experimentation

nov TO FIND the BEST SCHOOLS.


There il no line of advertising I'm which THE
TRIBUNE takes greater pride than its educa-
tional announcements. There is no other jour
nal in the United States which can compete
with il in the extent. variety and value of its
school advertising. Year after year these adj
vcrtisemcnts in The TRIBUNE greatly surpass
in number and In space those published III the
other morning papers OF this city. This season
this class of patronage has been larger than
usual There can be no better proof than this
of the intelligence and good character OF the
great constituency of readers which THE IRTB-
UNE addresses every day in the year. Inc
practical educators OF the country recognize the
fact thatths is the natural medium for reading,
intelligent, and notwithstanding households.
Almost every institution of good reputation,
Whctherin town or country or Tor boys or girls, Is
registered annually in these columns Indeed,
so general Is this practice that it Is not too
much TO say that the fact that school or SEM
mary does not let its light shine in THH TRIB-
rNE's educational page is now liable to excite
something of a suspicion. People are apt 20
conclude that a school which ncglects to follow
so general n custom must be considered OF
SecOnd-ratc Importance.
This conclusion will be warranted, we have
nohesilation in saying, by careful and critical
examination of the schools now i'm the regular
list. These are the oldest. the bcst-knoWn and
the most efficient nurseries of learning in tn
land Parents who have made Il painstakinS
comparison of the merits of rival scminaries
and elementary classical and finishing schools,
will recognize in TIE TRBUNE'S list the names
that have the strongest claims upon the support
of the community. Il would be inyidiops for Ms
to make any distinctions in the order Of practical
working power or of general reputation. and TO
single ont any of these schools as worthy OF
special mention. The list includes the names
Of the foremost and bcst-cqupp"d schools in
town or country, and readers have
reason for believing that every educational
institution registered there is doing good
service in taining the present generation
OF American youth. The 'ong vacation is now
