LOST LITERATURE.
Fire and Water Have Destroyed Many
Precious Eooks

Precious Eooks
From the New York Dispatch.
The fine literature absolutely lost is
very considerable. OF classical litera-
ture alone, books could be filled with
the mere names of works, never TO
mention the mutilated state of many
that survive. The causes OF loss are
few. Fire is the most common. Ben
Jonson by the fire in his house lost an
entire drama of the Life of Henry v
with notes, and a number of other
works. The fire of London was re-
sponeible for che loss Of many valuable
works of the Elzabethan period and
of much early English poetry. a Sc
verer blow 10 the lovers of Anglo-SaX-
on literature was the burning of the
Cottonian library in 1871. when a vast
quantity Of old manuscripts were de-
stroyed. In 1852, by "a fire in Lincoln's
Inn Fields. a large collection Of manu-
scripts and pamphlets. gathered with
great labor by Lord Chamberlain som
ers was lost. About the same time.
Davies notes on Ciceros De Otticiis
were lost by fire in Strand, London.
The second great cause of loss Is
the ocean, whose greedy NAV" swal-
lows all kinds of treasures so remorse-
lessly. Early in the 10Th century GU
arino Veronese was returning TO Con-
s,antinople with a shipload of CLASH
cal manuscripts. The vessel was
wrecked and the treasures lost, mis-
fortune which turned the scholars hair
white in a few hours. our own Spen-
ser suffered serious loss by shfpwreck
of a servant crossing from Ireland.
The last six books of the "Faerie
Queen" and a number of TRANSACTIONS
and poems, including Dreams" The
Court of Cupid" and THE He'll of Low
ers," were thus consigned to a watery
grave In 1000. on the death Of Vim
centio Pinelli. his library was packed
1 in three vessels bound for Naples. One
was attacked by pirates, who flung
| out the books and papers into the sea
and along the shore, some of the lat
| ter being picked up by the inhabitants
and used to stuff windows with. To-
| ward the close of the last century a
| servant of Warburton came across a
unique mass of manuscript plays,
which she used up in lighting fires
| and making pie crust frills. And ev-
| erybody remembers how a domestic of
| John Stewart Mill consigned to the
| flames a part of Carlyle's French Rev
| olution. The horror of Mill at the loss.
| and the agony" of Carlyle in rewrit-
ing the work, are now matters of his
| tory.
A very curious loss was occasioned
| in Italy in the 14th century, when Raj
| monde Soranzo loaned the manuscript
of Cicero's De Gloria to a friend, who
| pawned il, and died before its hiding
| place could be discovered.

From the New York World.
A mysterious disease which has at
tackled many orange trees in Florida LAS
been discovered to be indigestion. The
department of agriculture i'm its Year
Book pays special attention to dyspeptic
oranges and describes the disease and its
cure. Its cause is the same as that which
so often brings on dyspepsia in human
beings-overfeeding. Excessive cultiva-
ton and too much heterogeneous manure
affect the orange tree just as too much
heavy table d'hote dinners affect a man.
Instead of looking pale and taking pepsin
tablets, however, the orange tree turns q
very dark green and a reddish brown sap
eXudes from the twigs. The tips turn
up and shape themselves into 5 like
curves. The fruit turns a lemon color he
fore it is half ripe and has very thick
rind. As il rpens the fruit splits open
and becomes worthless. The reddish
brown resin gets on the fruit before it Is
ripe and renders il unstable.
Most of the diseases of the orange trees
are due to lack of cultivation. and IL was
thought that a tree would not take more
nutriment from the soil than it required.
This is not so, for the tree takes up all
IL can get, and then, like a small boy
who has eaten too much plum pudding
becomes sick. The dark green color which
the foliage then assumes is very hand

least none that are any good. The dis

A MONSTER DOUBLE MENAGERIE
WITH JOHN ROBINSON AND
FRANKLIN BROS. SHOWS
COMBINED.

The menagerie department Of these
combined shows is beyond a doubt
the greatest that the world has ever
known. The two menageries have
been blended into one and the com
bining of these two separate and dis
tinct departments alone would make
a display the equal of which has never
been seen in this country. There are
two distinct herds of elephants,
camels and all sorts of lead stock,
two separate departments of lions,
tigers, panthers, and the only pair Of
real black tigers that has ever been
seen in this country. The den of
polar bears is positive revelation
to amusement seekers and the same
thing was never seen in this country
before with travelling show.
A great many dens of rare wild
beasts are displayed daily in the mag
nihcent street parade, which is free to
all and will take place daily at o
a. m. And the very important fact
must not be overlooked that the par
ade, like every other department of
these great shows is a double one,
unlike any ever before seen. Many
shows have and do at the present
time advertise dishonesty that they
have two shows in one but there
has never been combining of two
really great shows in this land before
and people who are in doubt as to
the genuineness Of the putting toget-
her of the John Robinson and Frank
lin Bros Shows can readily set their
minds at rest. This monster amuse-
ment institution comes to Blooms
burg on June Ist for one day and will
give two complete performances.

The Teaching Of the English Language.
(CONTRIBUTED.(

That the teaching of the English
language in the majority Of Our schools,
perhaps, better, in nearly all Of them,
is deplorable failure, no one compe-
tent to Judge would have the hardi-
hood to deny. To call the efforts at
instruction, teaching, would not only
belittle that profession, but would
require a new definition of it. Honest
triAing with the children's time, would
in the majority of cases best character
ize the performance. 1t is honest, be-
cause those who innocently pursue
this course, verify believe that they
are benefitting the children, while the
fact is that they are not only wasting
their victims time, but doing their
mental powers positive harm, dwarflng
them, instead of developing them with
appropriate and profitable work.
Parsing words, analyzing sentences,
and writing the various forms of the
elements of sentences for the teachers

the ability to use the pen with correct
ness and ease, nor indeed can it do
SO.
Ability to write good English is SO
valuable an requirement in all the
walks of life, opens so many avenues
of usefulness to young people, that a
failure to teach it successfully should
be considered just cause for the dis
missal of teacher.
No one should be permitted to
graduate from a high school, who
cannot with correctness and consider
able ease write an essay on familiar
subject. Allowing pupils to appear
before an audience on Commencement
day with orations and essays patched
up by the teacher, and speak and
read them as their own and as an
index of the work Of the school, is as
discreditable as it is dishonest.
