modern fashionable woman. This gives cue
for recipe for the makeup of the modern fash"
onable man. Take from Ito to $50 pounds OF
flesh and bones of the genus homo, scrub clean
the outside incase in a suit of buds of modern
STYLE then send this compound to a saloon or
doggery to give it the required swagger as to
social and moral culture. Saturate with whis
ky or ether intoxicating beverages for about
six months or longer, then infuse little musk
or other odors into the organism, and if it has
moustache, give the angles and curves
shape to suit Mix in about equal proportions,
self-esteem, counterfeit gallantry, ignorance
and duplicty, then plaster inside while warm.
Then add as much lexbility of moral stamina,
50 as to neutralIze the other portions of the
compound. Finish the structure by inserting
a short tube Immediately under the proboscis
the other end to be ignited. Then the arti-
Gle is in good running order, and is received
at small discount among the female portion of
like similar component proportions. This
recipe is adapted to all localities, especially in

The TRoTTSG SEASON lime for the Spring
trotIing season of the Maryland Trotting Associ-
alton. over the Park Course, at Herring Run, is
rapidly approaching, and it promises to be one
of the most interesting that has occurred for
years. The association has spared no pains nor
expense to have the track put in proper condi-
ton, and the interest manifested by the owners
of horses is greater than ever before. Already
there are thirty-one horses in training on the
track, and number of them have made enviable
records on the turf With very few exceptions
the horses now in training are owned in Mary
land, and il is not yet known how many from
other States will contend for the liberal to
be offered.
Many OF the horses will be entered for their
first public trial of speed and the season promises
to be one of peculiar interest For the comfort
of visitors TO the track during the trottng season
every arrangement has been made, and the stands
afford fine view Of the entire track. At the
hotel kept by Messrs Shaw & Smith every luxu-
ry will be provided for the visitors, and they GER
,auIy have the facilities and the knowledge TO sat-
sfy to the fullest extent all who stop at the house
The first days trotting will take place on the
2slh inst, and the races will be continued on the
3Oth and 3lst instants. The determined efforts
of the association to afford a season of amuse-
ment will doubtless be appreciated by the public,
for il is said that never before have so many
horses been presented on any coarse in the coun-
try two weeks before the tine for the beginning
of the contests.

Ms~ The Republikaner con Berks, has the fol-
lowing notice of a remarkable blind old man
"Mr. Jacob Hartman, aresident of Tenth street,
Reading, has attained the ripe old age of 80
years. He has been blind for eighty seven
years kept tavern forty five years, four miles
north of Reading, in the house known the
Blind Hartman's Wirthhouse.' He was his
own barkeeper, was so expert in the handling
OF money that any attempt to cheat him was
futile. He has a tenacious memory. When he
was three years old his brother thrust a shoe
makers awl into his eye, which led to his total
blindness. He was SO well acquainted with
his neighborhood that he could point with his
finger to any of the houses. He is the father
of ten children, of whom seven are living. He
could perambulate all through Reading with
out any assistance. He has individually gone
to the Office of the Republikaner Uon :BerkS and
paid his subscription regularly. He is also a
mechanic, having repeatedly taken his clock
apart and put it together, and toned and re
paired musical instruments"

LAKE R0LAND-ANNUAL VIsIT OF THE CRY CoUN-
Gil AND WATER BOARD The members of the Bal
timore City Council and the Water Board paid a
visit to Lake Roland on Thursday of last week,
accompanied by G. P. Manning, under whose
supervision the Lake and works were constructed.
The naoaus operandi of forcing an extra supply of
water from the lake into the pipes leading TO the
different reservoirs, and also the manner OF draw
ing from the bottom of the lake the muddy or
waste water, which is done once day, and
forcing it through pipes into the falls, were ex-
planned 10 the visitors II was also shown how
the water which supplies the entire city passes
from the lake through a space six feet by three
feet, the supply being drawn from fifteen feet be-
low the surface of the lake. This water is neces.
sarily very pure, it having to pass through a
single screen at the lake and double screen at
Hampden reservoir, thus preventing fish aud
other matter from choking up the mains. Lake
Roland is about one aud half miles long, covers
a space of ll6 acres, and has depth of from 20
to 40 feet. A present the water in the lake.
which has a capacity of 400, 900, 900 gallons, is
II inches below The DAM but this does not indi-
cate any deficiency 10 the supply, nor would it if
il was much lower, as the supply in the lake is
equal TO the demand of the reservoirs. The
capacity of the reservoirs as showing the guam
tity of water that can he taken into the city, is
as follows: The acqueduct, or Lake Roland,
600, 900, 900 gallons Hampden reservoir, 40
900, 900 gallons; Mount Royal reservoir, 80, 0O0,-
900 gallons Druid Lake reservoir, 429, 900, coo
gallons; pipe-way between Hampden and Druid
Lake reservoirs, 2, 900, 900 gallons, and the new
high-service reservoir, when completed, will have
capacity OF 81, 1000, 900 gallons. The supply of
water in Druid Lake alone is at present sufficient
to last the city for one month without renewal.
After inspecting the lake and taking pleasant
row around it, and listening to various explana-
tons by the members Of the Water Board in ref
erence to the workings of The system, the party

The DRoUrH.-The long-continued absence
of soaking rains is becoming source of great
anxiety with farmers. 1t is telling fearfully
upon the grass crop, and a short supply oil
pasture and hay is anticipated. tits also hav-
ing disastrous effect upon the wheat fields.
The severe weather of the past winter has kill
ed much of the wheat where the fields are fiat
or have northern exposure, and in many
places the earth is bare and exposed. Seasonal
BILE showers would go far to remedy this and
re invigorate the dwarfed stalks still standing.
Oats are coming up very nicely. The springs
and wells are giving out at many places, ana
a water famine is feared. 1t has been many
months since the earth has been thoroughly
saturated. The rain fall has been much less
than the average.

LARGE SNAKEs.--0ne day last week Mr.. John
R. Glenn, living near Utica Mills in this county,
killed two large black snakes, the one measur-
ing six and half and the other seven feet in
length. When discovered they were hanging
by their tails to grape vine with their heads
downward. AS soon as they heard the approach
of Mr. Glenn they both let go their hold upon
the vine and ran up tree, but were finally
despatched. The most remarkable thing about
the reptiles is that each of them had a horn an
inch and half in length on the end of his tail
which was as hard as a bone.-Fred. Union.
