Ii there ever has been question in the
nearly quarter OF century of the history
of the Great Forepaugh Show, which is to
give performance here Friday April oath
as to whether it is king OF the road, there
is certainly none now.
1t is the undisputed autocrat of the ex-
hibition kingdom, and there is no longer
left the feebiest chance for comparison
with it Of the most pretentious shows of the
road. They are relegated, as it were, an
like the poor scholars in school, are seated
on the back benches, and have taken a
step lower down toward the foot Of the
class. Ambition, when genius is its ally.
can no more be chained. than the forke'.-

ever IS in its path. Foregaugh is on top ::
indeed, almost out of sight of those who
are climbing futher down the steep deeli,-
ity, and the public and profess on a
know and confess it. Some managers are
great in single thing--as advertisers,
selectors OF museum curiosities, judges OF
horse flesh, tasty in 5the construction OF
material, far-seeihg in financial matters.
Adam Fpregaugh is one and all of thes
and combines the ability of the whole. lie
would have made a great General, able
Governor, superb Congressman, or head
of some important Government depart
ment. But he has obtained fame, honor,
wealth and friendship without that. 1t is
safe to say he is among the most widely
known men to-day on the earth, and he IS
respected and trusted by those who are
intimate with him. At home, in the Qua
ker city, surrounded with plain and sub
stantial comforts, he occupies an exalt d
social position which is envied by hi
neighbors. His home-hearth is his cbitf
pride, and when surrounded after twilight,
at his own fireside by a score of the neigh
borhood children, his jolly, good-natured
face is as Misunderstanding and kindly
as merry Kris Kringles. and the little
ones call him emperor ofjoy.'

A great many cannot see why they do

the cold outside, but to heat inside. A man
will go to bed at~night feeling rs well as
usual and get up in the morning with
royal cold. He goes peeking around in
search of cracks and keyholes and tiny
drafts. Weather strips are procured and

full supper OF starchy or vegetable food,
occupy his mind intently for a while, go to
bed in a warm close room, and if he does
not have cold in the morning it will be
wonder. A drink of whisky or a glass or
two of beer before supper will facilitate
matters very much. People swallow more
colds down their Threats than they inhale
or receive from contact with the air, no
matter how cold or chilly ii may be. Plain,
hearty suppers are good to go to bed on, and
are far more conducive to refreshing sleep
than glass of beer or dose of choral. In

HEALTH NOTES.

A parasite known as Heteredoro Schach
has made its appearance in France, greatly
injuring the beet root. To this parasite,
NJ Anne Girard thinks, is largely due the
partial failure of this years beet-root crop,
which showed deficit of twenty per cent.
in the weight of the roots, besides de-
crease in the yield of saccharine, in some
of the northern districts, amounting to
twelve or fourteen per cent.
The wonder is not that most residences
in large cities are unhealthy, but that they
are at all habitable Generally the city
house is immediately connected by pipe
of no great dimensions with drains of sew
age miles in length and flowing under
street after street The conditions also are
such that very frequently poisonous gases
find ready entrance to the kitchen, the
bedrooms and the living rooms There
can be no healthy houses unless the con-
servancy and drainage systems are placed
entirely outside the main walls.
The readiest and most useful remedy for
scalGs and burns is an embrocation of lime
water and linseed oil. These simple agents
