Grandfather adam and Grandmother
Eve were driven for fo0ling with the

OF Life has been stolen, perhaps by
the Indians orcowboys. but the fig tree
is here from which Mrs. Adam manu-
featured her fashionable but somewhat
scauty wearing apparel. 1t is dead
now-probably winter killed = but,
like our flag. it is still here, and fur
nishes evidence which the oldest in

is Just as fruitful as in We olden time
and produces prodigionsiy. Sunflow-
ers can be seen that will make doz-
en rails and a whole lot of hard work.
Potatoes grow SO, big thai they can
only be roasted by building fire on

change. Cabbage leaves are used for
circus tents, and hoop-poles are made
out of timothy stalks. Jack rabbits
grow as large asa horse. and the al
feathers of wild goose make excel

corn in most states, and it is danger

Baltimore american. In recent
paper we called the attention of our
readers TO the value as a diet of milk,
which more than any other article of
food is consumed by greater number
OF the population, from the new born
babe to the adult up TO the age Of
fourscore and ten in every sphere in
life. The necessity of care in the feed
ing OF animals and the care Of the
product OF tine COW after its passage
into the hands OF the dairyman aud
thence to the consumer cannot, there
fore, be too strenu9usly insisted upon,
and every straint upon itl distrihu-
ton ia the puIest state should be in
sisted upon by legal restraint, by the
medical profession and by ths pubic
at large, and the seversst punishment
melted out against the carelessness and
authorizations of dea'e in the article.
We alluds to the subject again to
notice the fact that remarkable out
break of ecarlatina in certain streets of
London has bean directly traced to
milk furnished from single farm, In
a similar investigation a few years ago
a contagious fever WAS shown to have
been originated in a dairy farm where
the milk pans were washed with water
taken from a contaminated cistern.
The disease was found only in those
hou ca on certain streets which were
supplied with milk from this farm. In
the more recent instances scarlstins
has been traced by DIR. Klein to one or
two cows which were found to have
diseased udders. The milk was az
facted with the germs OF disease in the
process of milking aud then became a
vehicle for spreading it from house to
house. DR.. Klein succeeded in pro-
ducing the disease artificially by in

soonest young men on the stage. He
is known as Mantell's Double.

big parasOl in the MikadO ballet in

Mile. Rhea PROPOSES to present to the
public series Of plays by the master
minds in the fields of dramatic litera-
ture, in a manner seldom equa!ed on
the stage.
IT is stated as enc of the REASONS
why Mrs. James Brown Potter would
make first class star, that in one
room Of her fiat on Washington square,
New York, there are sixty portraits Of
herself in various characters.
IT is said that Nine. RAea fairly
worships the memory of Rachel, and
that she is one of the most cons ant of
the many visitors who make pill
grimages to the dead tragedenne's
grave IN the Jewish quarter of Pere la
Chaise. She rarely goes there without
leaving a memento of her visit in
the shape of bunch of flowers.
EMMA ABBOTT begins her eighth an
nual season in Montreal The compR-
ny now embraces in addition to Mis-
Abbott, Mile, Aida Varena, a young
American prima donna, who has sung
with great success in Italy and
France; Lizzie Annandale Mac Va

more brilliant and extensive than
usual, embracing, as it does, "Car-

Diamonds" "Lucrezia Borgia," and
grand revival of Emma Abbott's great
success, paul and Virginia" The
