I'm This Case the Work was
Properly Done.

ANY reader who has had backache and
found relief by rubbing the back with
liniments and lotions, understands that
the relief obtained was but a makeshift,
for the ache returns. There's a way to
do il so the ache will not come back.
Read how it's done.

IGNORANT OF THE BIBLE.
of the Young People of the
Present.

There is nothing so deplorable, .
said a clergyman one day not long
ago, 'as the ignorance of the Bible
which prevails among modern young
folk. l think the study of the book,
in purely secular way, should be in
eluded in the course in literature in
every school. Aside from its religious
significance, its value as an example
of perfect English style is inestimable
/ attended an evening party not long
ago, and as / was asked TO suggest
some means of entertainment, wrote
a number of questions concerning per-
sons, articles and incidents men
toned in the Bible, and gave each per-
son present three questions TO answer.
zone young woman was asked what
at ephod was. what was the fate of
karah and what kind of seed mama
resembled. She confessed utter lgnor-
.ance on all three points" quotes the
Washington Post. Another was
asked what kind of flowers bloomed
on Aaron's rod. and when | inquired
how she knew they were almond flow
ers, she said she had once used a kind
of almond meal with the picture of
Aaron's rod on the box. Nobody knew
TO whom Aaron's garments were given.
/ asked one young man whose table il
was that Lazarus ate crumbs from,
and he said the mans name was
Divius,' because there was college
song he knew about Lazarus and
Divius. Not one person in the room
had even a superficial knowledge Of
the Bible. Indeed, in this latter day,

the higher places and deposits the
eartn thus collected in the lower places
or depressions A comparatively level
field is thus reduced to a series Of ia
bles called water levels. These tables
are then irrigated at intervals, as re-
quired, during the growing season, as
the water on ground thus prepared
may be made to flow even in drill
marks.
Undertaking is often a necessary
accompaniment which adds consider
ably to the expense, though, If proper
ly done on suitable soil, the resultant
crops may be doubled OF even increas-
ed threefold.
Another great improvement In spe-
cific machinery is in facilities for han
ding the great American corn crop in
its varied branches, kinds and grades.
This has attained such degree OF per-
lection that a crop that was once ma
nipulated entirely by manual labor is
now in some places never touched by
hand, from the planting of the seed to
the weighing of the yield.
1t would be difficult indeed TO men
ton one item in a subject like this that
would be Of more general interest than
Others. The thousands, we might say
millions, who visit the Exposition must
each make their individual selection
and follow where their inclination
leads them. If they have time enough
at their disposal, they will, no doubt
find what interests them most, and, no
matter what it is, they will find 1t
represented in a manner that is at once
comprehensive and valuable.

labor tickets. He was asked how
grinding was getting on on the plan
tation, and whether there was enough
help to save the crop. His reply
WAS that every thing was going nice
ly and that the plantation had all
the hands needed, and added that
laborers liked to work there because
they got their pay every night on
tickets and were free to trade wher-
ever and with whomsoever they
wanted. The tickets are tak"n 40
cash every where, and laborer with
them in his pockets fest jost like a
man with 80 many silver dollars, as

ing, a few miles from ThibOdaux by

plantation stable containing about
three thousand barrels of corn, several
wagons aud carts, good many tons Of
hay, most OF the agricultural im,.Ie.
ments aud two ho ses aud eighteen
mules were entirely consumed by fire.
The ThibOdaux fire engine with
men hurried to the scene to assist in
checking the confagration. but it was
found 10 b. impossible ON account of
the scarcity of water. The loss is
said to be between 1000 and 5000,
and as is generally the case there
was no insurance. Different theories
are of course afoat as to the origin
of the fire but nothing definite is
known.
