The members of the Maryland Pilgrims’ Association have de termined to defer until April i the celebration of Pilgrims’ Day, which falls on March 25. The object of the association is to per petuate the landing on March 25, 1634, of the colonists from the Ark and the Dove at St. Marv City. * - The development of the Portland cement industry in the United States in the past decade is shown by the census to have been some thing enormous, increasing as it did from half a million barrels to nearly three million barrels. Its name is taken from the British island of Portland, in which is found a stone that this cement, when 1 set, closely resembles. Originally it was made from chalk and clay, ; but as manufactured in the United States it is crushed limestone. ! The stone is ground and made into bricks, which are baked and then ground to a fine powder. Asa result of the recommendations of Sir Benjamin Baker, practical steps have now been taken to insure the efficient ventilation of the twopenny tube tunnels in London. A powerful fan has been placed at the base of the left shaft at Bond street station, which will remove the vitiated atmosphere from the permanent ways, fresh air taking its place at the various halting places under ordinary pressure. The fan, which is 48 inches in diameter, and electrically driven, dis places 30,000 cubic feet of air a minute, and is thus capable of en tirely exhausting the whole of the tunnels in a fraction over three minutes. The recent appointment of a commission to consider the whole : question of Russian agriculture and the condition of the peasantry marks anew departure in the internal policy of Russia. The powers ! accorded to the commission are of the widest possible, and, in fact, 'amount to a charge to complete the work beg’ii a generation ago with the freeing of the serfs. Thus the entire manner of life of the Russian mujik will form one of the principal matters of considera tion for the commission, which is empowered to present its proposals for the bettering financially, educationally, economically and in gen eral culture of agricultural labor to all its phases. The Manila Critic says that when Gen. Wyler was sent as Gov ernor General to Manila, Don Carlos Palanca, the wealthy Spaniard ized Chinaman, whose funeral last September was marked by great pomp, determined to send Mrs. Wyler a gift, the customary way of obtaining the good will of the Spanish officials. He found at a jew eler’ two necklaces, each costing $20,000, and both being so beautiful she was unable to choose between them. So he sent them both to Mrs. Wyler, with the message that she should make her choice. He received a warm letter of thanks from her, stating that the necklaces were so beautiful that she could not decide between them, and hence would keep them both, which she did. Japan is adopting European forms of architecture, particularly in its business buildings and hotels, the old type of domestic con struction not so readily yielding to the spirit of innovation which permeates nearly everything in that enterprising and interesting coun try, says the New York Tribune. The government buildings are all of European design, their superiority in the matter of convenience and accommodation being generally recognized. Whatever large structures are hereafter built, whether for public or private business, are all sure to be of Western type, with up to date equipment, in cluding elevators, electric lights and signals, with the Occidental type of janitor bossing the outfit. A Berlin dispatch announces that hereafter the senior officer in commatid of the Garman squadron on the American station is to bear the title of “Commodore” and fly a special flag, says the New York Times. This revives the regretful memory that there are no more “Commodores” in the United States navy, that grade having been abolished by the reorganization law of x 899 for reasons presumably good but not easily comprihetisible to the civilian mind. In other days, whatever may be the present objections to that title, men who wore it for us managed to win resplendent fame and did work that made American commodores known all over the world. The origin of the title is Spanish, but that is nothing against it, and it does seem a pity that the splendid line should have been brought to an end, though of course, heroes with other names can be just as heroic as the old-time commodores. A title that cotdd be better spared is “Commander,” which has no such noble associations, and is of little signifieanca, and that little often confusing to civilians. ‘'Midship man” is another title that ought never to have been dropped. “Cadet” is a poor thing beside it. A dispatch from Washington says: Announcement was made recently by Rear Admiral Charles O’Neil, naval ordnance chief, that the most powerful piece of ordnance ever developed by any natioit has been completed by Krupp, the famous German gun maker. It is a marvel of penetrating capacity and velocity-obtaining qualities. Admiral O’Neil regards the gun as far in advance of any similar weapon made by this country for the coast defense system and for installation on shipboard. It is of 12-inch caliber. It is not yet known whether it is to form a part of the ordnance outfit for Ger man battleships, or is to be placed ixx the coast defense system of the country. The weight of the projectile of the new gun is 981 pounds, while that of the American gun is but 850 pounds. It has obtained a muzzle velocity with smokeless powder of 2,940 feet per second, as compared to 2,500 feet per second for the new American weapon. The German gun with lull powder charge has sent a projectile through 54 inches of wrought iron, which is equivalent to at least twenty inches of the best Krupp armor, while the American piece can only penetrate 47 inches of wrought iron. DouloOil l’r('ro|f*ltvp. New York Times: Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution was driving with a New York friend along a roadway in Georgia. The Northerner noticed that many of the negroes along the way took off their hats as the carriage passed. “They seem to know you pretty generally down here,” he said to his host. Oh, no, they don’t.,’ replied the latter. “Then why do they bow?” “That.’’said Mr.Howell, “isone of the privileges we allow the dark ies down here.” Genuine itemped C.C.C. Never sold In bulk.

The Country Doctor. I’ve heertd of doctors smart as lightnin’ In the colleges and schools; I’ve seen 'em wearin’ hats like stovepipes An’ a-actin’ like dam’ fools; But I never seen ’em ’mount to nutliin' When the crib was wet with tears Of'n anxious mother, bent an’ weepin’ Fer the babe that blessed her years. Ye kin talk of science all you min’ to, Of the progress science makes, Of how them city doodlet-doctors Do things, but I ’low it takes A little more than stovepipe headgear, Clo es an' canes, an’ hot air talk, To cure the fever ager, or to Make the rhu-ma tick to walk. I've seen ’em thumpin' on the chest like Monkeys on a hive o’ bees, A-listenin’ thro some tube or other Like a preacher on his knees; I’ve heered 'em talk of microbes nestin’ In the apex of the lung, Of stiekin’ serum in the backbone, Seen ’em peekin’ at the tongue; But when our Sairy Ann was taken With a sharp pain in her chest, An’ all run down with hackin’ coughin’, Breakin’ of her sleep an’ rest — I noticed she warn’t helped by science Of that hifaluten doc That tended her, more’n flannel wrappin's Or her neck tied with a sock. An’ so I’ve come to this conclusion — Jes’ as hones' as could be — The good cl-fashioned country doctor, Hf. is good enough for me! We may be wrong—but my ol‘ woman. She agrees with me in that Mos‘ all-the science high-toned doctors Have, they carry in their hat Kx. In The Interest Of Science. When one’s friend is a scientist and given to experiments a little caution may not be out of place before consenting to do him a favor. That, however, did not occur to a certain well known public man whose expe rience is related in an Australian paper. He went to the laboratory of an old schoolmate, a Melbourne professor of chemistry, to make a friendly call. The prolessor was studying a dark brown substance spread out on a sheet of paper. “I say,” he cried, when greetings had been exchanged, "would you kindly let me place a bit of this on your tongue? My taste has become vitiated by trying all sorts of things.” “Certanily,” responded the accommodat ing friend, and lie promptly opened his mouth. The professor took up some of the sub stance under analysis and put it on his friend’s tongue. The man worked it around in his mouth for fully a minute, tasting it much as he might have tasted a choice con fection. “No, none.” “It don’t paralyze or prick your tongue?” “Not that I can detect.” “I thought not. There are no alkaloids in it then. How does it taste?” “Bitter as gall.” “Hem-m-m! All right.” By this time the visitor’s curiosity was aroused. “But what is it, anyhow?” he in quired. “I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to find out. Someone has been poisoning horses with it.”—Youth’s Companion. Judge A. M. Keiley used to narrate that, while on the bench in the International Court at Cairo, after a witness whose nationality was a puzzle had been addressed in French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian and Arabic, and failed to make any response except to indicate by shaking his head that he didn’t understand, Judge Keiley turned to a brother judge and remarked sotto voce, “I wonder what language the idiot speaks, anyhow.” “Same as yerself, yer honor,” came from the witness in the broadest Tipper ary brouge.—New York Tribune. A REAL FRIEND. “I suffered from dyspepsia and in digestion for fifteen years,” says W. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. “After I had tried many doctors rnd medicines to no avail one of my friends persuad ed me to try Kodol. It gave immediate relief. I can eat almost anything I want now and my digestion is good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol.” Don’t try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further weakens the system. You need wholesome, strengthening food. Kodol enables you to assimilate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach’s aid. Jno H. Blackburn. L. Hot.mks. Bartlesville, Ua. Milner, Ga.

Andrew Carnegie told a story recently which has been repeated confidentially by some of the older financiers in Wall street, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. During a recent trip in the South, Mr. Carnegie dicided to attend service in one of the colored churches, and when Sunday arrived he carried out his intention, taking a seat in a rear pew. When the plate was passed he dropped a SSO bill into it. The deacons counted the money and seemed to be much excited. After they had all examined the bill carefully, they marched down to the pulpit, but before the preacher could be gin the short prayer of thanks for the offering, one of the deacons walked around to the pulpit stairs and whispered in the minister’s ear, nodding his head toward Mr. Carnegie and the plate. The minister took the plate and made this announcement: “Bre’ren, de Lawd done bin mighty good to us dis day. De collection ’mounts to one dollah an’ twenty-fo’ cents, an’ ef dat fif’y dollah bill wha’ dat gray-liaired ole man sittin’ in de back seat put in de plate am good, we will hab fif’y-one dollahs an’ twen’y-fo’ cents. Let us t’ank de Lawd en pray dat it may be a good bill.” Mr. Carnegie says he left the church before the prayer was ended. Poultry Pointers. The lien is no fool. Damp houses mean failure. Neglect aud carlessness breed lice. Hens fed alike will all lay eggs that taste alike. Ducks should have a dry house with dry litter for a roost. The best litter for the hen house is litter from the hay loft. Brown shelled eggs are peculiar to hens of an Asiatic strain. Cockerels not needed for breeding should be fattened and sold.. Spotted or rough shells are the result of feeding grit irregularly. Bronze turkeys do not reach maturity until they are four years old. , f- A full and regular supply of grit and shell influences the clean ness of the egg shells. Turkeys should be given a light feed in the morning but a heavy feed at night. Manage to give fowls a variety of food instead of a sameness day after da}’. Fowls appear to be the only living thing which are affected injuriously by the use of salt. In shipping dressed poultry to market never pack it until all the animal heat is cooled off. Ducks do not necessarily require a pond to swim in, but they must have plenty of good water to drink. Three things in the henhouse keep the profits down:—Over crowding, over feeding, and overrun with lice. Sunshine and pure water are needed by the hens at all times. — They do not cost much and should be freely provided. A carload of fresh eggs was shipped east from San Francisco a few clays ago. This is not an uncommon thing at this season of the year. Practical and experienced breeders contend that fresh cut bone should be fed regularly. While it should be mixed with other food it can be fed by itself for a day or two when a change in ratinos is desired. You cannot sell your stock or eggs to good advantage without you let people know you have them. If you want to sell to good buyers try the columns of this paper. It is the steady, persistent advertiser who gets the business. Ravages of the Ant. The National Druggist says an incident happened recently at Schlang, Bohemia, showing that under certain circumstances the ant may become a serious menace, to the life of children at least. A peasant woman going out to labor in the fields, after nursing her in fant, laid the baby on the ground in the shade and went to work. After a little time the child began to cry violently, but the mother, thinking it simply wished to be taken up, paid "no attention to it. The cries increased in violence at first, but after awhile the child seemed to get quiet, and soon the crying ceased entirely. The mother finished her task and returned to the babv to find it covered with millions of ants, which had eaten out the eyes and filled the cavities of the mouth, nose and ears. They had eaten through the walls of the stomach, had filled the esophagus, the larynx, and in fact, occu pied every cavity or passageway in the bod}'. The baby was dead, ot course. \Ye remember hearing of a similar incident that occurred in Alabama about the time of the Civil War, where a child of a year or two strayed from the camp of its mother, a widow of the poor white class, moving her effects back to her old home, and was lost. After several days search, the remains of the child were found on an ant-heap or nest. Little was left, however, but the bony skeleton. Such incidents, are, fortunately, exceedingly rare, but the fact that they may occur should not be lost sight of, and should be better known commonly than they appear to be.
