r.l t . -I "GO TO JERICHO i A rvnon Biblical Town on be Dank oflbe rford-I Kr-JTeotio and AMOclnttona, The old injunction, "Go to Jeri cho !" hitherto bo nncomplementary to the person referred to, may now be need, as a correspondent of the New York Sun in the Holj Land explains, with all due respect to those advised, and with proper and friendly regard for their health and happiness. -When I last visited Jericho, six rears ago, it consisted of a miserable Village of rood huts, containing a population of mixed negroes and IJedouins, amounting at most to oOO souli. I was astonished now to find that, of all places in the world, it was going ahead. There was a sort of boom going on ; a very minute loom, it is true, but still it was prog ress, and there is no saying what it may lead to. It seems that the Russian pilgrims to the sacred spot have discovered that it is remarkable for the beauty of its scenery and the delicioosness of its air. Accordingly, not only has a sort of hotel or asylum been built for their accommodation, but indi viduals have put up little cottages, and made of Jericho a place of win ter resort The climatic advantages of the region have also induced an Fnglish physician to recommend it as a winter home for his consump tive patients. Hitherto when wne told a person "to go to Jericho" it was a polite way of intimating to him that he might go somewhere else, Jericho being the next hottest place known to tiiat more distant region ; bat now we may toll our friends to go to Jericho in a spirit of benevolence, in the hope that it may reetore.thera to health. What an unbearable place, by the way, Jericho would be if all the bores who have been metaphor ically sent there had literally goiit ! As it is, I cannot imagine a more agreeable place for a person not ab solctely dependent upon society to go to and spend a month or two in winter. There is a peculiar softness and balminess in the air, not to be found elsewhere in the world, for their is no other place in the world 1,100 ft below the sea line. There is a wide level, open pltin to scamper on horseback in all directions; there are thickets oftumaifk, and nebk, and bamboo, swarming with wild boar, deer, gazelle, and other ani mals, some of tbem not to be found elsewhere, to delight the sportsman. There is lha Jordan handy, with first-rate fishing to satisfy the most ardent angler ; there is the Dead Sea to bathe in and boat on (only there are no boats) for persons whose tastes are aquatic. There is a flora which would be a source of never ending iuterest to the botanist, for it is peculiar to this region; and the same remark applies, to some ex tent, to its ornothology and eto mology. There are ancient ruins in all directions to eat iffy the most in veterate archirologist, while the ex plorer has only to cross the Jordan, and iu a few hours he will find him self in a region untrodden by the foot of the tourist, with all manner of interesting discoveries awaiting him. Then he is still comparatively in the world, for a smart ride of five hours will take him back to Jerusa lem, and be need not be afraid of having to suffer hardship, for the fare in the Russian hospice is excel lent, especially in the matter of milk and vegetables. My advice, then, to the invalid. tne sportsman, toe man oi natural history, and the antiquarian, who may be looking out for a new winter resort, is "Go to Jericho !" There is no particular reason lhat I can see why the Russians should have a monopoly of this charming spot, mougn we snouid be very much obliged to them for makiug it habit-(the .klo V J..l. 1 .... muiv. -,w uuuui wo ioe mruuon of the sick man's" property, for j . . - which they have been waiting so long, lanes place they will put in a claim for Jericho. Besides, there are the rums around which cluster the most sacred asso ciations of the Christian world. The Mount of Temptation is supposed to be the hill which rises Irom the plain of Jericho, and the waters in which Jesus received His baptism, flow by. The Government intend building a bridge over the Jordannd on my way back from visiting its proposed site I passed the much disputed po sition of Gilgal, where the Israelites made their first camp in the Prom ised Land. This has but recently been identified by the ever to be la mented Faltetine explorer, Mr. Tyr whitt Drake, who fall a victim to his zeal in the Jordan valley. Noth ing is to be seen there now but some mounds, in which have been found pottery, broken glass, and lessera.l it was for long the resting place of the Ark and the Tabernackle. It was somewhere on this plain that Sodom and Gomorrha, "the Cities of theriain," were situated, and not to the South of the Dead Sea, as was formerly supposed, but their sites have been looked for in vain. Hence from Justinian's time the plain began to be covered with mo nastic edifices, and the gorges and precipices of the enclosing mount ains to be burrowed with hermit's caves and sacred shrines and chap els. , , , The monks that inhabit these buildings are in one sense as inter esting as the buildings themselves, lor one has only to converse with them to be transported to the mid dle ages. They are probably the only class of men who have remain ed absolutely unaffected by nine teenth century civilization or modes of thought they are like the toads that have been locked up for centu ries in stone, and mieht be the iden tical individuals who in the time of the Crusaders used to inhabit the ceils they now occupy. From a psychological point of view, then, it is curious to converse, with them on matters of faith and relieion. for un less one has had personal experience of the degree of ignorance and su perstition which are still to be found in a recluse of the American Church. for instance, one could not credit the fact that such a beine exists : and still represents a considerable class in the days in which we live. A Miracle Explained. "What miracle was performed at the time of this lesson ?" asked the Sunday school teacher. "Tb miracle of the loaves and fishes," was the reply. "How many persons were fed?" "Five thousand." echoed the class "How d von account for five loaves of bread feeding 5000 persons, Willie?" "I gues our hired girl baked it and they couldut eat it! Gosh! Yon ought to taste her bmad ! You cant git the taste outen your month fur a week." Picking the Apple Crop. ? The inquiry is often made, at what time should we gather our j winter apples, and in what month, j , . , nd on what dav ? No definite rule as to the time can be given; the best period will vary with the vari ety, as well as with the same fruit in different seasons, and the latitude will of couree modify the time. If they are gathered too 6oon, they will not have reached their full fla vor, and the specimens will be lia ble to wilt and dry up. If left too long they will be blown off by the wind, and bruised by the fall, and over ripe fruit will be more subject to premature decay. Apples which keep best are those which are fully ripe, and which are filled with rich juices, witn a naru exterior. iuc best knowledge as to tne true ume is obtained by applying the well known rule in judging of the matur ity of pears, namely, by lifting up the fruit to a horizontal position, and if the stem cracks off at the nat- j ural place of separation, it is time j sides. the crop were gatheied. There will, I "I think right on that knoll is the however, be a difference in this time best of any," said Alice, with the eame sort on different trees i "There's a lovely place just a lit as well as a difference on the 6ame j tie way's down." said Meddy.

Much diversity of opiuioii exists on the propriety of allowing apples to "s if eat" before they are packed away for winter Ute This opera tion and its nature are very im perfectly understood by many orch ardists. It has two causes one ol which is the condensation cf the moisture of a warmer atmosphere on colder fruit, and the other the evaporation of a surplus of water in the fruit which is partly from its natural juiciness and partly from excessively moist weather. The ne cessity for allowing it to take place i depends greatly on the condition ol the apartment in which it is stored. If it is quite damp, the fruit depos ited in it, if already surcharged with moisture, will be likely to decay. But it the apartment is quite dry, the apples will be sufficiently sub jected to the drying process without further trouble. Hut moisture will do no harm in an apartment kept at the freezing point.

Soon looking back, he saw his wife and child enveloped in the flames. Mrs. Staunton perished there, and the child was o badly burned that it died the next day. The fire parted at the house and left it untouched. A few thousand busheb of wheat and a barn or two were burned.

" v . v Ina and Onta. Nothing is so productive of dis tressing headaches, as the tropical heat of summer. St Jacobs Oil will remove them at once. Admiral de Jonquierea, of the French navy, has called attention to the remarkable phenomenon which may be witnessed at Papeete, in the Society Islands.

Woodie, who mrched ahead and carried the basket, was the oldest, and it was his birthday, and they were going to have a picnic down under the elm trees by the brook. That was what the basket meant. But there were a good many elm trees by the brook, and under each one of them was the very nicest place for a picnic. "This is the beet," ezii CusAe. "Just hear how 6weet the water bub bles and siags !'' Woodie bhook his head. "I'm going to have it over there where I set the basket down," 6aid he.

Who took it?" And just at that moment they all looked up and saw Mr. Berry's old red cow stand ii.g behind some alder bushes and chewing something. "ItV her!" cried Cassie, with a de cided nod of her red curls ; "and it's mean ! But I don't care it's all be cause we quarreled and didn't tend to our business !" "Yes," . said Woodie, meekly. "Let's not do eo again, and maybe mamma'll give us some more." And mamma laughed and read them a little lecture ; and then she filled the little basket again for them.

A city of over one hundred thou sand inhabitants, with no place of public resort, where every house re sembles a fortress or a prison, the ponderous doors opening upon nar row, gloomy lanes winding between grim, bare walls, and creaking heav ily on their hinges, to reveal the low, dark, vaulted entrance that leads to the courtyard inside, sometimes picturesque enough with pillared verandas and arabesque lattices, but always rambling, uncomfortable, in convenient, uncared for, to English ideas of what a man's home should be a city where the luxury oi a wheeled conveyance is unknown for who could drive anything that goes on wheels in lanes six feet wide that twist around every bouse corner, and where the mud lies an kle deeD in winter and dust darkens the air in summer? A city through the midst of which flows a mighty river, on which the traffic is carried against wind and stream by men harnessed like beasts, on which the only native boats for pleasure or profit are on the same model end no better in construction than the cor acle of the ancient Briton, on which foreign enterprise has placed steam ers which have to contend against every device and delay known to the crafty Ottoman. A city unrival ed for position and fertility of soil, environed by desert which might be made to blossom as the rose the centre of trade for a whole conti nent, yet sunk into decay and pov erty; where 30,000 Jews contend in the struggle for existence, or, more properly, for a bare subsistence, with twice as many other Orientals not less supple, wilv, patient, and persevering than themselves, in a city where poverty and oppression have sharpened every man's wits. A city that might sit enthroned as a queen upon the waters, heii and daughter of mighty Babylon and the later splendors of Maduin, Seleucia, and Clesiphon, now groveling in the dust'amid the ruins of along forgot ten former glory. Such is Bagdad of to-aay, the city of Haroun-al-R ishid, the familiar home of Sinbad the Sailor and the other worthies of the "Arabian Nichts." Mutually Borrd. ' The Japanese are justly believed to be the politest people in the world. They will not even tell a lie ; not because it is immoral, but because it ness is sometimes nut to orettv se- j vere tests. A Boston lady has brought back from Washington an illustra-' tive instance. A Japanese gentled j man made what was supposed to be merely a ceremonial call on a lady, and lingered till lunch-time. Of course he was asked to stay and was expected to refuse, but he didn't And still he stayed till necessity compelled nis invitation to dinner. And yet he lingered till,at mid night with elaborate, almost abject, apologies for leaving, he took his de parture. Next day, while the hostess was telling her friends how horribly she bad been bored, her visitor was deploring her cruelty in not earlier in the day intimating to him that he might depart Japanese etiquette re quiring such signal of permission before he could go. The story is amusing, but it would seem to sug gest to American society that bor rowing something from Japanese etiquette would be found wonder fully convenient at times to the vis ited, if not to the visitor. Sew, York World. A Sick Man'a Monkey-Shinea, Perhaps you will laugh and your readers, too, when you hear my queer recipe for an upeet stomach.

Boston Globe. An Indian Camp. A correspondent in the West says, the ride through the Cheyenne en campment recently was quite inter esting. The tepees were pitched about a mile back of the Aeency building, in a low bottom, and an effort, not altogether successful, had been made to gel mem m a nuge 6emi-circle. There were perhaps 2,000 Indians, 1,000 ponies, and 10,- 000 dogs. Many of the Indians had wagons, cooking utensils, and l no ticed one or two of the tepees had bedsteads and mattresses. The ma jority, however, kept bouse in abo riginal simplicity. Jjvery tepee nau its ridge-pole outside hung with striped beef and entrails froui yes terday's rations drying in the 6uu. One family I passed had a fire burn ing in front, and over this a squaw was roasting a dead dog ugh ! A few rods further on a snake which had crawled into camp was htving its brains beaten out by an old Equaw. That will be in the pot in an; hour," was the remark of our guide.; The long strings of entrails and oth-j er animal refuse drying in the sun j were not appetizing, and we tried to avoid looking at them. The con stant handshaking which the braves thrust upon the party was also something of a nuisance, and it was a relief to get away from it The camp was a busy scene when In spector Armstrjng arrived. The Indians crowded around in their gaudy blankets, the ponies jostled each other in the midst of the te pees, the dogs kept up a continuous howlir.tr. and the chief and sub- chiefs harrar.zued little knots of people in deep ting-song tons. Out of such chaos no order could be brought and alter filling the air with profanity, the inspector retired with a promise to come another day. A Coon Dog. Thf Krie railroad has a conductor named Coon, and the following dog story is told. A man had a wonder ful good dog for coons. If there was a coon within a mile of the dog the coons doom was sealed, for the dog would certainly smell him out One day the dog was out with his master "after coons. They stopped at a small railroad nation lust as a pasener train drew up. The doe came to a dead point on the train. The owner of the dog insist ed that there must be a coon on the train or that the train had run over a coon. The dog's nose could not be mistaken. The train was search ed, but there was no coon and no sore on the wheels. The man's faith m his ttog did not waver tor an in stant "Are you sure there is no coon on board this train?" he in quired. "I am sure there is not. The nearest thins to a coon is the conductor, and his name is Coon "That settles it," said the owner of the doe ; "I knew there was a coon on this train." There is a good story of John R. Rogers (Minnie Palmer s John) when he first came to turone as a very young man. His kind father sent him abroad, giving him for his ex penses i purse containing S1,J00. Among other places John R. paid a visit to Monaco, and lost his 1,000 in very short order. He therefore telegraphed to his father: "Please tend me another 81,J00 lost my purse." and went to bed and slept the sleep of the just The next day he met a lriend who lent him thirty Napoleons. He then took a fresh turn at roulette, and quit the tables with 5.000 francs, whereupon he again telegraphed to his father "Never mind money purse found. The same night fortune, fickle eoddess. was acain unkind, and he was reduced to his last "Nap." He once more dispatched, and this time it read : "Send money purse lound but was empty." A Modern Witch. Much excitement over a case of alleged rt witchcraft " is reported at Belgrade, a Swedish settlement near St. Peter, Minnesota. A woman who has been sick f it three years has accused her aunt of having " be witched her." The Swedish Church has held a trial, at which witnesses have testified to their belief in witch es and what they imagine they had seen in this particular case. One woman said that " she was posted in witchcraft and had i-eeu uitchrs send the craft off through the air, and seen it strike persons who were soon after taken sick." The case is not yet settled. Tho Weight or llaben. Doctors say that mothers who take pride in the weight of their newly-borti children should .weigh them as soon as possible after their birth. Children lose weight during the first three days of life, and the loss, sometimes nmounu to twelve ounces or more. . It takes them nearly a week to , regain the weight they had st the time of birth. A. nearly perfect skeleton of the mosasaurus was recently discovered in a quarry near Mons, in the Prov ince of Hainaut, Belgium. It has the extraordinary length of fifty-five feet nine inches. It is to be pre served in the National History Mus eum, Brussels. The Japanese rake is formed of wood or bamboo, the teeth being made by splitting the end into the reauisite number of prongs and bending them in an arc.

Poiaonrd II ON EST) ale, Pa., Oct. 14. MieB Harriet K. etton, daughter of . V. Wrnton, President of the Wayne Coucty Savings Bank. and Mr. Har ry S. Batiin, of Cbicairo. were mar ried to-dav. The receolion after the uiurriue was largely attended A few lioura alter the wedding re past thirty or more of the guetda were taken violently Kick hIiowiiij; undoubted eigns of poisoning. There is no Use fighting nature. Dr. Kennedy' Favorite reuitdy dors tuithiiiK of that kind. It din-5 not make the butlt-rers wbo. trust ia it worse under the pretense of doing them good. It acts tenderly and in sympathy with what nature herself is trying to accomplish. Do you have trouble with your digestion, jour liver or your kidneys. Does rheumatism pain and rack you? Is your bead thick and heavy ? It will charm away these ailments almot ere you are uware. An old and intimate friend oi mine is l'ttrkrr'tf Hair Balsam. I have used it live years, and could not do without it. It has stopped my hair frum falling, restored its natural black color and wholly cleansed il from dandruff. Mies Pearl Aneson, St. Louis, Mo. Queer readiug would be the his tory of names. We cannot, howev er go into the subject now, except, so tar as to say that Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Iieuiedy" was called by that name, in an informal fashion, long before the Doctor dreamed of advertising il for public use.. - Speak ing of it iie would say to his patients 1 his is my favorite remedy lor all troubles ot the blood, &c.t and its success was so great that he finally spelled the name with capital letters. A smooth complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker's Tonic. For promptly regulating the liver and kidneys and purifying the blood, there h nothing like it, and this if the reason why it so quickly removes pimple? and gives a rosy bloom to the cheeks. I have been deaf in one ear ten years, and partially deaf in the other for two months ; have been treatrd by ear specialty doctors and receiv ed no benefit. Having Used Ely's Cream Balm for about a month, I find myself greatly improved, and can hear well and consider it a most valuable remedy. Iliad also nasal catarrh, with dropping of mucous into my throat and pain oyer my eyes, which troubles also have entire ly disappeared. D. B. Yates, Upper Lisle, Broome Co., N. Y. A bill iu the Georgia L.wiature proposes a tax of $100 for every bate ball game played in the Slate. An elastic step, buoyant spirits, and clear complexion, are i.r.iong the many desirable results of pure blood. 1 he possessor ol healthy blood has his faculties at command, and enjoys a clear and quick per ception, which is impossible when the blood :s heavy and sluggish with impurities. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier and vitalizer known. Lady Burdett-Coults owns the smallest pony in the world. He is 5 years old and 13 inches high. Though numerous causes may op erate to turn the hair gray, all that is needed to restore the natural color is Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re newer. For more than twenty years ita sales have been enormous, but we bave yet to learn of its first fail ure. - - A Cargo of Skulls. Philadelphia, October 15 The bark John Lowery, Captain llliam Cook, has arrived st this port with a ghastly cargo. It consists of the bones of several thousand coolies who died while at work on the Is land of Cuba. Tbe coolies are taken there to work on contract, and are to be returned to thair homes at tbe expiration of their contract, but if they die before that time the con tractor is absolved from any further responsibility and the coolies depos ited in the most convenient place to be found. The cargo brought here includes the skulls, and is to be ground up for phosphates. Jiataa Good.
