CLOTH MADE OF SPONGE.

One of the recent German inven-
tions consist of a new kind of cloth,
which is composed principally OF en-
tirely of sponge. In its manufacture
the sponges are first thoroughly beaten
with heavy hammer, in order to
crush all the mineral and vegetable
impurities, so that they can be easily
washed out they are then dried and
pared with a sharp knife, the pairing
being sewed together. The fabric
which is thus obtained is described as
being free from all the danger which
sometimes arises from the absorption
of poisonous dyes into the system; it
absorbs without checking the perspi-
ration, so as to diminish the danger of
taking cold; it is conductor, and
therefore helps to maintain IL uniform
surface temperature; it can be more
readily cleansed than the ordinary
woolen garments; It's flexibility de-
creases the liability of chatting; and
the ease with which it can be employ
ed IN shoes, stockings, drawers, under
shirts, and other articles Of clothing,
will, 1t is thought, render the new ma
terial especially useful as protection
against rheumatic and pulmonary at
tacks.

A BIG PICTURE.

A short time ago painting 100 feet
long and thirty feet deep was hung in
the Guildhall, London, to remain on
view for one week. The picture con-
tains upwards of 1000 figures, and is
a representation of the battle of Agin-
court. 1t was painted by Sir Robert
Keer Porter (painter of the Siege of
Seringapatam) when nineteen years of
age, and was about the year 1915 pre-
sented to the corporation of the city of
London. 1t has occasionally been
utilized as screen at the Mansion
house, but owing to its immense size
it has been found necessary to cut it
into three sections. The centre piece,
which is fifty four feet long, represents
the battle at its height. The side pieces
are each twenty three feet long. The
one on the right portrays the retreat
of the French army. while the left is
a beautiful landscape, with a portion
of the English armyadvancing through
a we'll wooded and watered country to
give battle to the foe.

RAISE YoUROwN FISH.

Fish Commissioner Hughlett has made
another distrib ibution of California salm-
on in the streams of this county, placing
5000 in the Big Elk above Stenton's fac
tory, 1900 in North East river, and the
same number in the Octoraro creek just
above Magraw's mill. The German
carp Is favorite fish with Mr.. Hughlett
and he Is desirous of introducing it in
Cecil county and elsewhere in the State
he has obtained a number of carp from
Prof Baird of the United States Fish
Commission, and will be pleased to fur
nish all persons who have pond forty to
the pond, free of all cost except the can,
If application Is made while he is di str b.
uting other fish. Those who have not a
pond ready, he will be happy to furnish
in the spring, provided they are not all
distributed. He is decidedly of the opin-
on that the carp il the fish for this sec
tion, and those having ponds to raise
them will find them extremely profitable.
AS they are vegetable tisb, they can
be fed entirely from the kitchen. They
grow rapidly. Mr.. Richard Holiday,
OF Queen a nne's, has taken some out OF
his. pond this fall, put in the pond last
winter, that weighed over pound. He
thinks them in flavor equal to the taylor
Mr.. Hughlett has the highest authority
for saying that they can be raised per
pound cheaper than pork, ,poultry or beef

Tell Me We Winged winds.


Tell me, ye winged winds,
That ronnd my pathway roar,
Doye not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rest ?
The loud wind dwindled TO whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered, moi"
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
know'st thou some favored spot,
Some 'sland far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss Tor which he sighs-
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies ?
The loud waves, rolling ~ perpetual flow,
Stopped for while and sighed to answer,
''NOW
And thou, serenest moon,
That, with such lovely face,
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights EN- mbrace,
Tell me, in all thy round
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable men
May find a happier lot?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew In
And voice. sweet but sad, responded
"No!'
Tell me, my secret soul,
Oh, tell me, hope and faith,
Is there no resting-place
From sorrow, sin and death ?
Is there no happy spot
Where mortas may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And weariness rest?
Faith. hope and love, best booms to NOR
tails given,
Waved their bright wings and whispered,
"Yes, in heaven !"

AS destructive insects make their APP
peaarance in many sections Of the
country, we are forcibly reminded OF
the importance Of protecting BIRDS
When there are plenty of birds, the in
isects seldom do much damage. Our
laws, protecting birds. which have
been in force. for several years, have
proved bone hclal. The number Of birds
have greatly increased in this neighbor'
hood. and we have had no serious COM
plant about the ravages Of insects.
The farmers have no better friends than
the birds, and every effort should be
made to protect them. More stringent
laws would be beneficial.
