Cleretta Nora Avery. the eleven-year-old
colored girl, known rs the ''picsaninny
preacher" who has preached in many Of
the large cities of the country, is holding
services in Philadelphia. She was born in
Washington, d. C. Both her parents were
born in Pensacola, Fla, her father early in
life becoming minister of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Zion Church. 1t is stated
of her that when about seven years of age
she announced to her parents her divine call
to preach the gospel. They tried to dis
courage and TO divert her from her purpose,
on the ground that she was too small
and uninformedin the Scriptures to attempt
so important and responsible work But
Cleretta insisted, and declared that God
had commanded and commissioned her to

EVERY TRADE HAS ITS DISEASE.
Curious Results of Continued Oc'
curatiun of Men who Work.

ItiS well known thatthere are a number
OF dangerous trades which give rise to
serious diseases; but, as a matter of fact,
almost every occupation has some ailment
peculiar to Itself. A doctor can always tell
IL his patient is baker, for instance, by
the state of his teeth The flour dust col
lects on the teeth, becomes acid and gives
rise to special kind of decay. Bakers,
owing TO their irregular life, sleeping in
the day and working at night land because
OF the hot air and dust, are great victims
to consumption. BIacksniths, strong as
they are, very often suffer from paralysis
of the whole right side from the continu-
Gus shock of hammering, and their eyes
become weak from the glare of the fire.
Athletes, strange to say, do not as rnle
enjoy long life
Professional boxers, wrestleIs, gymnasts,
cyclists, are short lived and suffer from
enlargement of the heart and diseases of
the lungs Boiler makers get deaf from
the continued loud noise. Brewers and
brewers drivers drink beer liz such large
quantities that they ruin their livers and
generally die young. Bricklayers, and
plasterers are very healthy, and they are
said to resemble asses in never dying.
Butchers are very strong and healthy, but
they suffer in health through eating little
pieces of raw meat. Cabmen are noted for
''nipping,' and they endure the natural
consequences. The cold also affects their
faces to such degree that the muscles Of
the face become frequently paralyZed.
