Rnbonio Plague. 900 Il. G.

The earliest authentic record OF bu-
bonic plague has hitherto been accept
ed, says Nature, as dated 300 b. G.
Drs. F. Tidswell and j. A. Dick have,
however, recently brought evidence
before the Royal Society Of New South
Wales to show that the epidemic OF
1144 B. c., described in the first book
of Samuel Chapters to 100, was the
bubonic plague. After the Philistines
had captured the Ark of the Covenant
and taken it to Ashdod, severe illness
broke out among the people. THE
hand of the Lord was heavy upon them
of Ashdod, and He destroyed them and
smote them with emorods." The word
"emorod" has usually been taken to
mean hemorrhoids, but in the revised
version of the Old Testament 1t Is
stated to mean tumor or plague boil.
The epidemic in Philistia occurred at
the time of the regular plague season,
and mice are mentioned in connection
with it, which furnishes additional
evidence that the epidemic was plague,
for connection between the death OK
rats and plague at Bombay and else
where has been clearly established
Baltimore Sun.

CROPS IN NEBRASKA.

There is broad smile on the face Of
nearly every farmer in Nebraska, be-
cause of the satisfactory crop condi-
tons in that remarkable state. In the
northwest drouth has seriously injured
the wheat yield. In the south again
there has been more or less damage,
but in Nebraska they have had sea-
sonable, heavy rains, and not too much
of them.
A full crop of oats and wheat will,
from present indications, be followed
by bumper crop Of corn. During the
past week heavy rains all over the
state have put this crop in fine condi-
ton. and 1t may break the record.
The expectation is that great num-
bers of people will go to Nebraska
this fall, when the cheap harvest ex-
cursion rates are in effect. to invesi-
gate the country and confirm by actual
experience the stories of prosperity so
often heard. The tendency is on the
part of renters, everywhere in the east
to seek homes beyond the Missouri
river, where land is cheap ad so very
productive.

About GEN Andre.

Gen. Andre, the new French minis
ter of war is sixty-two years of age.
He is an excellent type of the well
educated French soldier, distinguished
by physical vigor and cool energy, as
well as for intellectual qualities. While
commander OF the Polytechnic school
from December, 1898, to May, 1899. he
showed himself skilful as we'll as an
energetic administrator. He has
strenuously opposed the introduction
of politics into the army, and it is
therefore certain that he will CO.
operate with the cabinet to make
France peaceful.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY,
Notre Dame, Indiana.

We call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of st. Mary's
Academy which appears in another
column of this paper. The 46th year
opens September 4th, 1900. We do not
need to expatiate upon the scholastic
advantages of st. Mary's for the cata-
logue of the school shows the scope OF
work included in its curriculum, which
Is of the same high standard as that
of Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is car
ried out faithfully in the class rooms.
We simply emphasize the spirit of ear
nest devotion which makes every
teacher at St. Mary's Loyalty strive to
develop each young girl attendant
there into the truest. noblest, and most
intelligent womanhood. Every advan-
tage of equipment in the class rooms,
laboratories and study rooms, every
care in the matter of food and cloth
ing, and exceptional excellence Of eli
matte condiitons-all of these features
are found at st. Mary's. in the perfec~
ton of development only to be OBJ
tanned by the conservation of devoted
lives to educational Christian work, in
a spot favored by the Lord.-The Fine

Gently Rebuked.

A good many people maintain that
the only argument that really reaches
a practical joker is stout club. Yet
the Philadelphia Times prints an in
cident of an Italian cafe which seems
to show that milder measures answer
when there is in the offenders make
up a spbstratum of manly feeling. In
the evenings there was always fine
music in the cafe, made by man and
his WIFE She played on a stringed in
strument, and after several selections,
carried around a little filigree silver
basket, in which she collected coins
from the guests. One night, as the
music began, a man seated at one of
the tables held up a gold coin. The
woman smiled, and the man dropped
it on the marble slab that covered the
steam pipes. When she made her col
lection she went first for the gold
coin, but as she picked it up she gave
a cry, and dropped it again, for it
had become heated on the slab. The
next evening, when the musicians ap-
peared, the woman's hand was ban
daged, and she had some difficulty in
managing her instrument. When she
made her collection she avoided the
man who had played the practical joke
on her; and night after night she
did the same thing. In vain he Of
fered her apologies and other coins,
but she merely bowed and smiled in
passing him, and never allowed him
to give her the slightest donation. OF
course one can imagine the offenders
feelings; but who can find fault with
the woman's gentle, yet dignified, re-
buke.-Youth's Companion.
