DIR. COWAN.
DENTIST.

RESPECTFULLY informs the citizens of(
IL Cecil county that after an absence of2u1f6
10 years, he has again located in ELKrON, where
he hopes to receive liberal patronage.
lie is thoroughly conversant with the various
methods of inserting ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and
uses in their construction Gold and Silver only,
metals which, after 20 years experience, he has
found more durabl than any others. He inserted
sets of teeth for number of persons in this county,
sixteen years ago, many of whom continue to wear
them with the greatest satisfaction.
lie EXTRACTS TEETH WITHOUT PAIN, by the
of Chloroform. Ills experience in tho use Of
this and other ANAsTHETIc agents warrants him
in saying no unpleasant consequences can result
from their judicious administration. His method
of extracting teeth diffe from the usual practice
his instruments being So constructed as to dispense
with the necessity of scoring the gums, opera
ton often more painful than extracting the teeth.
Although DIR. c. will use none but the best
materials his charges will be very moderate, per-
haps more so than has ever been charged for sub
stantia Dentistry in this or any other county, and
those who require the services of a Dentist would
do well to consult DR.. G. at his

SCOTTIsH SERyAHTs IN THE OLDEN TINE
The charge these Old domestics used to take
Of the interests Of the family, and the cool
way in which they took upon them to pro-
toct those interests. sometimes led to verv
provoking and sometimes to very udicrous
exhibitions OF importance. friend told me
Of a dinner scene illustrative of this sort of
interference which had happened at Airth il.
the last generation. Mrs. Murray, Of Abcr-
carney. had been amongst the guests and at
dinner one Of the family noticed she was look
ing for the proper spoon to help herself with
salt. The GA servant Thomas, was appealed
to, that The want might BE- supplied. lie did
not notice the appeal. 1t was repeated in
more pertmptory manner, Thomas. Mrs.
Murray has not salt spoon :" to which he
replied most emphatically -"Lnst time Mrs.
MHrry diuncd here, "" lot a salt spoon"
hive heard Of "A old Forfarshlrc lady who,
knowing the habits Of her Old and Spoilt SER

We ken a that 5 int moo -djnna stop to open

when Sorely tried by an unaccusloued hustle
and hurry very amusing anccdote has been
recorded. His mistress, Il woman of high
retirement for some time. was called upon TO
entertain a very large party at dinner. She
consulted with Nchol her faithful servant,
and all the arrangements were made for the
great event. AS the company were arriving.
the lady saw Nchol running about in great
agitation, and in his Shirt sleeves. She re.
monslratcd and said as the guests were com

How RAIN IS FORMED. To understand
the philosophy Of this phenomenon, essential
to the very existence of plants and animals Il
few facts, derived from observation, and n
long train of experiments, must tie rclnen-
bcred. Wee the atmosphere everywhere at
all times, at Il uniform temperature, we
should never have rain, hail or snow. The
water abso, bed by cvaporatio from the sea
and the carth'S surface would descend in an
imperceptiblc vapor, or cease to be rated. -
The absorbing power Of the atmosphere, and
consequently its chpability to retain humid
ity, is proportlonably greater in warm than
IN cold air. The air near The surface Of The
earth is warmer than it is in the region Of the
clouds. The higher We ascend from the earth
the colder we find the atmosphere Hence
the perpetual snow on very high mountains
in the hottest climates. Now, when from
continued evaporation, the air is highly sat
urated with vapor, though it be invisible, if
its temperature is suddenly reduced by cold
currents descending from above, Or rushing
from higher to lower latitude, its capacity
to retain moisture is diminished clouds are
formed, and the result is rain. Air conden-
scs as it cools and like sponge filed with
water which its diminished capacity cannot
hold How singular, yet how simple is such
an arrangement for watering the earth

Autumn Days.

Many poets have sung Of autumn days,
May add a word TO their proud praise
May sing those glowing days SO sweet?
Days whose sweetness soon will winter meet.
Oh the glorious beauty Of the air,
joy, and light. and sunshine everywhere;
Oh the golden, crimson pomp Of trees;
Trees that soon will witler in the breeze.
And the quiet brooding rest of earth. fbir;h,
Rest from which such bounteUus things have
Clusters large that hang upon the vine,
And the peacli's ruby CLEAN in days decline.
In the purple night with all its stars
Bright the rnddy, piercing light of Mars,
Shines in heaven above the matrun earth
Hearing all her songs Of JOY and mirth.
I" Smoky light around the landscape CLEANS.
Brilliant flowers lngrr round the streams,
Take the palcr glorcs Of all Springs brings.
But oh leave me what voluptuous Autumn

FOREIGN INVENTIONS. There are several
interesting inventions abroad which are
worthy Of mention. \ machine for cleaning
cotton has been invented in Antwerp, and is in
successful operation. The cotton surrounding
the seed is taken clear of and sold to carpet
manufacturers and paper makers; after the
oil is pressed ont the cakes remaining can be
sold for the same price rs other cakes Of olea-
guouS seeds. The cost of the machinery is
said not to be expensive and the invention
promises TO he of very considerable advantage
to cotton-growers. A species of concrete,
Of which ashes is the principal ingredient.
has come into extensive use in Paris large
slabs for floors are made of it, showing il is
OF great strength, and entire blocks Of build
lngs are constructed Of the article and winch
appears to have all the solility Of stone.
n miner in Belgium has invented safety
lamp which completes with that of Sir Hun
phrcy Davy part Of the metallic covering
which surrounds the flame aud forms the
chimnY is replaced by a glass, by which
modlc ttion d much stronger light is insured
thaa that given by the Davy lamp-a quality
oil much Importance to miners, as the greater
the intensity Of light provided it be unatten-
died. with danger, the better. Experiments
are being made in London with view OF
u"'""i''s from gas pure White light, Ike
daylight: very great improvement in the
light is effected by employing globes or shades
OF very faint purple coIor-purplc being
composed of the rcd and blue rays of the
spectrum, and which, properly combined
with the yellow ray, produces white.
Berlin engineer has discovered a new bullet
casting machine: it is carried about, con-

How TO TEST TIE QUALIrY OF WOOL.

How TO TEST THE QUALITY OF Wool
The Texas Gazette says:
Take a lock of wool from the Sleeps back
and place it upon an inch rule. II you can
count from thirty TO .hirty-thrcc Of the spiralS
or folds in the space OF an inch, it equals in
quality the finest quality of SuXony wool
grown.
or course, when the number of spirals to
the inch dlmnishcs, the quality Of the wool
becomes relatively inferior.
Many tests have been tried, but this is
considered the simplest and best
Cotswold wool and some other inferior
woods do not measure nine spiras to the inch.
With this test, every farmer has in posses
sion e knowledge winch will enable him to
form correct judgment of the quality of all
kinds Of wool. There are some coarse woods
which experienced wool growers do not rank
as wool, but as hair, on account Of the hardness
OF straightuoss ofthe fibre.

SURRENDER OF CORVALLIS. On the 10Th

posts at Yorktown, with 1909 British soldiers
into the hands of Washington. llete victory
was complete, and British power was com

land by this decisive blow. A messenger,
with dispatch from Washington, reached
Philadelphia at midnight, and before dawn
the eXuliing people filled the streets: and at
an carly hour Secretary Thompson read that
cheering letter to the assembled Congress. -
Then that august body went in procession to
a temple Of the living God and there joined
N public Thanksgiving to the King of
Kings for this great victnry. Two stands
Of co'ors were ordered 10 be presented TO
Washington, and two pieces Of cannon to

CORVALLIS and his troops fell with terrible
force upon the war party IN Parliament, and
they soon began to talk Of the expcdiency of
