TOWER or BABEL.
Traditions as to the Height OF the
Famous Structure.
(London Saturday Review.

(London Saturday Review
The actual height at which the
last stone OF that famous structure,
the tower Of Babel, rested, cannot
on account Of the remoteness of +he
times at which ii Is said to have eX.
listed. ever become more than a mat
ter OF merest conjecture. Herodotus,
who lived about 100 years after
that great spiral way to heaven" is
said to have been attempted, SAYS
that he saw at Babylon a structure
consisting of eight towers raised one
above another, each seventy-five feet
in height, bu: whether this ruin was
the remains Of the tower Of Babel It
was even then impossible to ascer-
tain. Herodotus, usually minutely
exact in his writings, leaves us in ig-
norance as to how the upper level Of
each Of these seventy-five foot towers
was reached from the level below.
AS might be expected. even in ira
|Ition. vide difference of opinion
exists as 20 the height OF the tower.
Most orirutaliSts maintain tha- God
did not put a stop to the work unit
the tower had reached a height of
10000 fathoms, or about twelve
miles. In Ceylonese tradition, it is
said to have been as high as 10000
elephants. each standing one above
the other. st. Jerome asserts on the
authority Of persons who had exam
ined the ruins that it did not reach a
height exceeding four miles. Other
statements are still more extrava-
giant.

Saving the Peach Crop.

For years the peach brown rot has
been recognized as a most destructi-
i've disease Of stone fruits. This Is
a fungus disease, and it Is wide
spread, and very destructive to the
peach crop. The loss which it in
flicts on peach growers will easily
average $5,000,0O0 yearly. The loss
to the peach crop Of Georgia alone
is estimated at $1,000,000 a year,
Much work has been done with a
view to discovering satisfactory
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foliage has
made 1T unsatisfactory, since the
remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab Gotten called black
spot) is another disease which ser-
ously affects the peach crop in all
sections east of the Rocky Noun
tains. although not causing such ser-
Gus losses as brown rot.
AS the result Of experimental work
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, a cheap and simple
remedy for this disease has been
found in the self-boiled lime-sulphur
wash. This can be applied during
the growing season with very little
danger Of injuring the fruit or foli-
age, and 1t IS very effective. Further
more, by mixing arsenate Of lead
with the fungicide, the curculic can
be destroyed at the same time.
The department has just issued a
bulletin describing the preparation
and use OF the remedy. This publi-
cation will be Of great interest to
peach growers In all sections, and
may be had upon application to the
department at Washington

Sweet village, fair gem of the hills,
Thy charms are as the music of foun-

The music which charms as it
Wills,
Enchanting the heart
With a lovers deft art
The passionate soul 1t bestills.
Thy spring and thy lovelier summer
Come creeping across thy blue sky
Like song from an idling hummer
Who strolls Ger the mountain
ways nigh,
And strolling along,
To the tune Of his song,
Forgets that he lives but to die.
To see the first light Of thy morning
A-breaking thy grey Eastern sky,
When fast the approach Of they dawn
ing
Doth cause the stars to swift fly
At the break Of the day,
III tIle month Oh tiny May,
All! that doth e&a 1t me on high!
At noon of the day, with It's labor,
When highlands send Ger thee
their breeze,
It's sweet to see every neighbor
with netghbor assemble at ease,
And there, without strife,
TO enjoy thy good life
Beneath the good shade Of thy
trees.
TO be in thy midst, and, there living,
Where looks the blue mountain
heights down,
When lights from the sunset are
giving
A golden tint unto thy gown,
And day servants flee.
Leaving Nature and me
All! that unto me is true living!
The blue OF thy sky is enchanting,
And fair Is the green Of thy

And sweet is thy Spring with its
planting.
And sweeter the harvest 1t gains
To add to the mirth
or the sons who gave birth
To thee, and then freed thee from
chains.
Thy people are good and free
hearted,
Extending a warm friendly hand
To all as to friends long since parted,
When all are but strangers at
hand;
And smiling above.
In the kindness of love,
They take them each one in their
band.
Thy life Is so sweet and so lowly,
SO like the quiet life OF he hills,
where springs move their waters so
slowly
Till, sparkling, they dash off in
rills;
And dashing along,
To their wild highland song,
They gush from the breast of the
hills
All, why should our sweet highland
village,
OF charms such as these now DOS

Be left to the curse Of a pillage
BY those who have often expressed
The wish to obtain,
For their personal gain,
The soul Of this village thus

Awake, ye true sons Of the hills!

And save to the Gem of the Hills,
