Progress of Temperance In Maryland.

Progress Of Temperance Iii Maryland.
The BaltimOrean says the State Tenn
perauce Convention which assembled
in this city last week was one of the
most notable gatherings of the kind
that has ever taken place in Baltimore.
In point Of numbers it WAS probably
the largest temperance convention that
has ever been held in the State, there
being over seven hundred delegates
present. The size of the convention
was 81 ignificant as Indicating the growth
Of temperance sentiment throughout
the State, and the increased interest
felt in the subject in every section OF
the Commonwealth. \ conclusive
proof that the size Of the convention
was not without meaning, is found in
the substantial results achieved during
the past year, as mentioned in the re-
port Of the President
The question of license or prohibi
ton has already been submitted in 8
. large number of counties, and decided
i'll favor of prohibition, and the same
question is to be submitted in quite /;
number of others this fall. If, as seem!
more than probable at present, tn,
temperance cause is successful in the
counties which are soon to vote on the
question, local option will then prevail
in no less than sixteen out of the twent,
three counties in the State. This is -;
triumph to be proud Of and the fac
! that new counties are anxious to Sc

proof that it haS worked well in thus

reason to he encouraged by the result
of the past years work, while the or
ponents have good ground for uneasi
ness.

How They CAPTURE Hyenas.

The following mode OF tying hyenas
in their dens, as practiced in Afghan
istan, is given by Arthur Connolly in
his " c verland Journal" in the words
of an Afghan chief, the Shirkaree Synd
Daoud.
"When you have tracked the beast
to his den, you take arope with two slip
knots upon it, in your right hand, and
with your left holding felt cloak before
you, you go boldly but quietly in. The
animal does not know the nature OF the
danger and therefore retires to the back
of his den, but you may always tell
where is head is by the glare of his eyes.
You keep on moving gradually toward
him on your knees, and when you are
within distance throw the cloak over
his head, close with bim and take care
he does not free himself. The beast is
so frightened that he covers back, and
though he may bite the felt, he cannot
turn his neck round to hurt you; so you
quietly feel for his forelegs, slip the
knots over them, and then, with one
strong pull, draw them tight up to. the
back of his neck and tie them there.
The beast is now your own, and you
can do what you like with him. we
generally take those we catch home to
the kraal, and hunt them on the plain
with brides in their mouths, that our
dogs may be taught not to fear the
brutes when they meet them wild"
Hyenas are also taken alive by the
Arabs by very similar method, except
that wooden gag is used instead of
felt cloak. The similarity in the mode
of capture in two such distant countries
as are Algeria and Afghanistah, and
by two races so different, is remarkable
From the fact that the Afghans consider
that the.feat requires great presence OF
mind, and no instance being given OF
man having died of bite received in a
clumsy attempt, we may infer thas the
Afghan hyena is more powerful or more
ferocious than bis African congensr

AIligatOrs' Nests.

These nests resemble haycocks. They
are four feet high, and five in diameter
at their bases, being constructed with
grass and herbage. First. they deposit
one layer of eggs on floor of mortar,
and having covered this with stratum
of mud herbage eight inches thick, lay
another set of eggs upon that, and SO on
to the top, there being commonly from
1901 to 300 eggs in nest. With their
tails they then beat down round the
dense grass and reeds, five feet high, to
prevent the approach of unseen enemies.
The female watches her eggs until they
are Matched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for
their subsistence. Doctor Lutzember, of
New Orleans, told the writer that he
once packed up one of these nests with
the eggs in box for the museum of St.
Petersburg, but he was recommended
before he closed it to see that there was
no danger of the eggs being Matched on
the voyage. On opening one young
alligator walked out, and he was soon
followed by the rest, about 100, which
he fed in his house, where they went up
and downstairs, whining and barking
like young puppies.

Ever DER some poor soul pending,
With its wondrous thran.

The consumption of mule and horse
flesh is steadily increasing in France.
The weight has risen from l7l,3O0
pounds in 1866 to 1882, 500 pounds in
1879. In the principal cities of the
provinces the consumption of horse
flesh may be considered to have fairly
taken root. The average price of horse
meat is from twenty-five to thirty
cents per pound. Each horse furnishes
about four hundredweight of meat,
which is capable of being prepared in
many ways, such as boiled, roast,
hashed, haricot, jugged, filet, etc.

Some three years ago ali intelligent
mineralogist discovered specimens of
pitchblende on the waste dumps of
Denver City, COL, and. recognizing the
value of the mineral, gathered aquantity
and sent it to Swansea, where it brought
five shillings pound, or at the rate of
$4,000 a ton. To what extent the
mineral occurs in that region does not
appear; but, remarks the Scientific
american, the incident affords another
illustration of the facility with which
unscientifc miners may throw away
minerals of more value than those they
are looking for. Pitchblendo, or urani-
mite, is an oxide of uranium, obtained in
Saxony and Bohemia, and used in fine
glass making. Glass colored with uran-
ium has the peculiar property of show
ing green when looked at, although per-
fectly and purely yellow when looked
through.

All, yes, she IL dear old mother.
The sands Of life are nearly run out, bat,
feeble as she is, she will go further, and
reach down lower for you than any

never mount "a scaffold too high for her

When the world shall despise you
and forsake you, when il leaves you by
the wayside to die unnotieed, the dear
old mother will gather you in her feeble
arms and carry you home. and tell you
Of all your virtues until you almost for

Compulsory Education.

and several suggestions made as RENE
dies for the defective operation of our

considered authentic, and makes them
worthy of notice.
will preface my remarks by saying
that the writer of the article in question
is not more in favor of educating the
masses than myself, but the laws he
thinks necessary, and the means he
would employ, are far from being suited
to free people, nor would they prove
efficient. The point of the article seems
to he, that it is necessary to pass law
making attendance at the public schools
compulsory. Stripped of all verbiage
and Latin phrases, that is the only
remedy suggested. Ioppose it because
