The "Milk Train" on the w. M. R. R.
The Westminster Advocate says: awe learn that
an effort is to be made by the milk shippers along
the line of the Western Maryland Railroad to
have the milk train run at later hour in the
morning. 1t is very disagreeable to be compelled
to drive through snow and rain in the winter
months, at so early an hour, to make particular
train, and besides that it is with great difficulty
that reliable labor can be obtained for such pur
pose. We feel certain that if united effort is
made by the milk shippers that the railroad COM
pany will grant their request"

A Good Increase.-The Belair Democrat
says: Archibald Wilson, Esq, of Belle farm, sold
a few days ago, to Kienger, of Lancaster, Pa,
20 head of fat cattle that weighed 1882 pounds
each. They averaged when he bought them a
year ago 73O pounds, net gain during the year
Of $50 pounds. He fed them but little grain, ex-
cept for few weeks after frost. This large in
crease is due largely to grass alone.

Precaution in Diphtheria.-Thes spread of
this disease is thought to be attributed in many
instances to the public funerals of those who have
died with it, and which has been carried to other
houses by those attending the funerals. Public
funerals of persons dying with contagious dis
eases should be discouraged and should not be
permitted. This will have the effect of stamping
out the diseases more readily than in any other
Way

Winter Flowers and Evergreens.-In

Winter Flowers and Evergreens.-In
speaking on the subject of winter flowers and
what may be done to make window look attrac-
tive at this season. intelligent writer says "By
the introduction of hanging baskets much more
may be done in making window attractive with
flowers and green leaves than could before be
done, as pots are not always convenient in the
window sill. Kendworth ivy, moneywort. spider
wort and many of these well-knOwn plants are
easily to be obtained and seem to make them
selves quite at home in these modern hanging
raneements. Besides this, brackets can be made
fast to the window frames, and few pots with
dangling vines be attached thereto. Some that
we have seen looking very pretty were very
simple floral ornaments. Even turnip, carrot
beet or any similar root is taken, turned bottom
upward, followed out so as to hold water and
then suspended in this way. The leaves soon be-
gin to push, and turning upward embrace and
clothe the bare root with foliage. Others merely
take pine cone, and filling in very little earth
between the scales, SOW grass seed or some other
easiy-sprouting green thing. Again, some very
pretty and unique window ornaments are made
with the sweet potato, by putting into the mouth
of hyacnth glass and suspending it in a warm
room. This will sprout, and hanging down will
make graceful spray Most of these things,
however, need light; but the common green ivy
is one of the best plants for this purpose as it is
one that will do its best in sun or shade, and is
besides within every ones reach Besides these,
there are many other familiar things that can he
used in this way with good effect, and will greatly
aid in identifying room as well as window"

N. Y. Letter: The Louisiana lottery made fortunes for the crowd that backed it. Its profits were enormous, and more than two-thirds of the 'sgreat prize" drawn were drawn by dummies set up by the concern itself Occasionally prize drawn was given to person who would certify to receiving thousands where he was given only hundreds of dollars A, man who knows all the secrets of the concern says that Charles T. Howard owns 5000 shares, the par value of which is $600,000. His dividends last year were $42O, 900. How ard is old and in feeble health. He says If he was young he would start a lottery in Mexico, giving the Mexican government an interest in it. He is confident that he could make $5,0OO, ,0OO per year out of it. Howard is a Maryland man, and spent money right and left with the carpet-bag Louisiana legislature in 1868 in having his lottery incorporated by law. It turns out that though Early and Beuregard certified to all of its drawings, they only actually saw two drawings in each year. Taking the mail privilege from the lottery has nearly broke 1t up.
