An Athenian Renaissance.

"When was young" said Socrates
to Alcibiades, one Sunday afternoon,
''it was the custom of the maidens Of
Athens to wear tunics somewhat low
as to the neck and short as to the
sleeves whenever they went into the
theater Or cut to a hop or any other
like occasion of frivolous amusement.
| suppose that was before your day,
o, Alcibiades 2"
1T was,' said Alcibiades, with a
sigh.
"But the tricks of fashion are alto
gether worthy OF wonder" continued
the philosopher.
To-day, for the first time in many
years. went into church. 1t was
one of these which made the loudest
outcry against the low-necked tunics
in the days of my youth. And what
was my surprise, 0, excellent young
man, to fad that the quandom fashion
of the bal room had crept into the
! temple ofworship. Before me sat the
fair daughter of Plutocratus, the richest
silver miner of Attica. She wore a
carmen. entirely sleeveless and cut
very low in the neck; but she had
wisely protected. her arms and shoul.
ders from the flies by a covering o.
mosquito bar, which is called lace
yoke in the language of the day. What
think you OF this fashion, Alcibiades q
II think" replied the beautiful AL
cibiades. "that it would be wiser tc
keep out the flies with wire screens al
the doors and windows and do away
with the lace yokes altogether"
The maidens of Athens heard O
this saying Of Alcibiades and were
highly displeased.
Alc;biades died an old bachelor in {
| foreign land.

Another cure by faith is reported.
Mrs. Mary d. Douglass of Newark,
had inherited weak back from her
mother, and eight years ago it turned
to curvature of the spine and laid her
up in bed perfectly helpless until a
few days ago She was doubled up
and twisted out of human shape. Her
hip was pulled out of place and she be-
came club footed She had also ab-
scesses and liberation of the stomach.
She was bad as she could be to 1--we.
Finally, since the doctors could do
nothing for her, she consented to try
the prayer method. A woman faith
doctor and two preachers officiated.
She limbered up, straightened out and
in an hour was walking around the
room. II is stated that all traces of
her many maladies have left her. The
names and residences of all the par
ties are given, and the Newarkers
know that they are real people. They
also see Mrs. Douglass gong about
her work, well as any woman in town.

Let childrenknow something OF the
worth of money by earning 1t; over pay
them if you will, but let them get some
idea of equivalents if they get dlstort-

will never be Iighted.
Infinite toll would not enable you to
sweep away a mist, but by ascending

New Orleans Tines Demofrat The
Joquat is flui. about the size Of an
apricot, one and half inches in length
and one inch in diameter. The seeds
are small and the flavor like that of a
cherry, delicate, sub-acid and good. A
gentleman near New Orleans, who has
trees 20 feet in height on his farm, de-
clares that for eating fresh, for sauce
and for pies the loquat has no superior.
The fruit does not easily pull from the
stem, and, in order to ship a long dis
tance, the stem must be cut so as to
avoid breaking the pulp. The loquat
is grown from seeds with the greatest
ease. also from cuttings and layers. In
form it is globular, and one and a
fourth inches in diameter 1t tbegins to
ripen in April, and continues until the
first week in July.
