The Plague In the Bible.

We learn from the bible that pes
thence prevailed in the primitive
ages. III Leviticus XIV, 34-35 occurs
this prescript: "When you come into
the land of canaan, and l put the
plague of leprosy in house; and he
that Owlleth the house shall come and
tell the priest the Health Officer, |
saying: TT seemeth to me there is,
as it were, plague in the house, !"
The minute regulations for inspect
ing and cleansing these houses show
how complete was the sanitary sys-
tenn under which the ancient Israe-
Iites lived. From Numbers, chapter
XIV, we learn that the Israelitcs who
came out of Egypt were destroyed in
the wilderness by plague. Suisse
quent chapters give the history of its
ravages. The sacred writer speaks of
safer the plague" as we do latter the
war;" The cause of the plague is
referred to in Paslm CYL, 29-30. In
III Samuel we have an account of the
sin committed by David in number
ing The people--by which he showed
distrust of Divine Providence--look-
ing to the strength of his army rather
than TO the arm of the Almighty.
David repented and confessed his sin,
aud entreated God to WITHHOLD the
punishment OF his people. God gave
his choice of penalties, famine, war or
pestilence. He chose the latter, and

Fruit for Food.

Fruit culture should be quite as
closely associated with family use as
with market. i have eaten apples all

make the best use of them till last
winter; it is worth living half GEN.
tury to find out the real value of this
fruit. Now we eat apples half an
hour before meals instead of after
ward. We eat all we want before
breakfast and dinner. The result has
been so decidedly in favor of the fruit
diet that we have very largely drop
ped meat. The action of tho acid is
then admirable in aiding digestion,
while if eaten after meals the apple is
likely to prove a burden. We follow
the same line in using grapes, pears.

cherries all summer / cover dozen

berries l find very wholesome, eaten
raw from the bushes before going to
the dinner-table. Nature has prepar-
ed large amount of food already
cooked, exactly fitted for all demands
of the human system. Our Kitchen
cooking never equals natures. / am
by no means vegetarian or fruit

Cholera Germs.

In 1885 DIR. Knock and DR.. Ferran
concluded long series of expert
mcnts in India, Egypt and Europe
with the view of detecting the cause
of cholera. They discovered microbes,
minute beings, so tenacious of life
that they can only be destroyed by
boiling water, or by the absence OF
all moisture. The germs are SC
small that only microscope of many
diameters, or of great magnifying
power discloses them to observation
DR.. KEoch recommended incubation
with gums to diminish the intensity
of the disease, as in vaccination fol-
smallpox. His theory has been much
controverted by medical men.

In taking the early crop from the
garden the ground should be thor
oughly cleared. 1t is not enough to
take off all that is valuable. 1t is
almost as important to take off the
things that will not command a price
in the market as it is to harvest the
ones which are wanted for home use
or for which there is ready sale.
Yet many farmer carefully gathers
the crops which the garden has pro-
duced and gives but little thought TO
the weeds which, in greater or lesser
numbers, have been allowed to grow
among the cultivated plants. He has
an idea that whatever mischief the
weeds could do has already been done
and that there is no need of Worrying
about the matter now. As far as the
crop for this year is concerned this
view is correct. But there are other
years coming, and the farmer who
lets the weeds go to seed in his gar
den this fall is providing for great
deal of hard and Improbable toll in
the future. 1t will repay well when
removing the garden crops to make
a clean sweep and destroy all the
weeds which can be tound.-Am

GREAT SPECTACULAR DISPLAY.
Prominent Features In Splendid
seowIng OF Color and Action.


"They will mark an epoch in the
history of tented exhibitions is what
is being said of the Adam Forepaugh
Shows as organized, constructed and
exhibited in the year A. ID. 1892.
Nothing approachinu them in mag
nificence and grandeur has ever been
seen before beneath canvas pavilion.
1t is well-known fact that outdoor
spectacular displays originated with
John Rettig, the famous artist of Gin
cinnati. Of course, no account is
taken is this statement of the process
sions of the Mardi Gras at New Or
leans, nor the Yelled Prophet at st.
Louis, nor the pyrotcchnic displays at
various seaside resorts, although Rit-
tig's Fall of Babylon ante-dated any
of these displays in this country.
Rittig is the parent mind of this form
of entertainment. AS the sculptursd
works of Phidias, Canova and Pow
ers, and the painted works of Angelo,
Raphael, Murillo, Rembrandt, or the
more modern MISSIONER have found
plenty of imitators and copyists, none
of whom have been successful, so
have there been futile, vain attempts
to Initiate Rettig's works. When it
was determined to include spectac-
ular display in the programme of the
Adam Forepaugh Shows it was wise
ly concluded that no mere imitation
of the great artist would do-he must
himself be secured to personally ex-
ecute and supervise the production.
lie was given carte blanche and told
to choose theme that would admit
of more elaborate and costly display
than any of his previous works. He
said that he had one subject that he
intended illustrating, but he had never
yet succeeded in securing sufficient
capital to develop and produce it;
and he thought it would prove to be
an entirely too massive an affair to
transport from one section of the
country to another. Much to his
establishment he was given an idea of
the well-nigh illimitable resources of
the Adam Forepaugh Shows, and was
then instructed to proceed with the
preparation of his spectacle. With an
immense corps of artists, costumers,
armorers and carpenters, he at once
set to work, and the production which
embodies all the best results of his |
genius, allied with his experience and
unlimited capital to draw from, was
the sublime Biblical spectacle, The
Fall Of Ninevah. Certain it is that
the world has never before seen its
like. Space there is not here 70 ade-
quately convey any idea of lis many
magnificent and glorious splendors.
The press is fairly ringing with their
praises of the great Shows. None of
the established, standard features of
the great Shows have been curtailed;
to the contrary, an extraordinary
number of positive novelties have also
been added to the programme.
Among them is complete Moorish
Circus Co., of thirty-fve men, women
aud children, under the direction of
the famous warrior Sheik, Ben Hadjali
Pasha, and brought to this country by
special permission of the Sultan and
the proiectorrte government OF France.
The Adam ForePaugh Shows and the
great spectacle will exhibit here on
Tuesday, October 1lth.
