Water for Maryland Towns.-Here is

Water for Maryland Towns.-Here is
1rSerr very po1ntedly to our own citizens as well
- .hasa Of AuAru growing town in the county
"The subject of water supply of the towns of
Maryland, not only for ordinary household uses,
but for manufacturing and protective purposes, is
occupying good deal of attention. Some of the
larger towns have well devised systems of supply.
Westminster is the latest to secure the blessing of
abundant water by simple and cheap means. St.
Michael's, in Talbot county, which lately under
went the fire ordeal, is earnestly engaged in con-
sidering the means of getting water sufficient to
protect the town from confagrations In Belair
the suggestion has been made of artesian wells.
While there may be disadvantages of situation in
various localities, ingenuity and enterprise will
overcome the difficulties in most cases, and very
often at small cost. 1t is incumbent, however, on
all communities having any considerable aggre-
CATION of houses or property liable to destruction
by fire to seek the most available means of pro-
lection through abundance of water, which NAV
be advantageous also in many other ways, besides
being needful for sanitary and domestic purposes"

Advice to Teachers.-"Govern yourselves
refrain from moroseness, peevishness or scolding
Have clear idea of what you are going to do
Teach pupils how to study, how to get out of the
text book what is there, and to put it into their
own language. Do not be noisy govern so far
as possible by quiet signals. In hearing recita-
tons, be interested yourself-be enthusiastic.
Have no pet pupils. Govern without monitors.
Do not send pupils for every little thing to the
principal, superintendent, or director Have a
programme and adhere to it. Don't get into the
habit of suspecting certain pupils of doing all the
bad things in school. Do not allow pupils to re-
port each other. Cultivate in pupils self-respect
and self-government Never attempt to ferret out
mischief without being successful. Do not lower
yourself to the level of your pupils, but aim to
draw them up to your level. Maintain quiet,
cheerful dignity. If you have under teachers,
give them due credit for their efforts, and let
them know how you appreciate them"

Thanksgiving Delicacies.-From an ex-
change: GIN very short while the merry oyster
and the grandiloquent turkey will be called upon
to render as a Precipitation to the gods their an
nual sacrifice. How very well indeed is custom
wherein man may sacrifice something, even his
wife's relations, without himself doing penance
as an earnest Of his gratitude. The oyster and
the turkey have been annually seized upon and
put dozen as the proper expression of mans thanh
fulness. The fattenin~ - sOes ooldiy on.
-.-.y-vsE Inodesty assumes that it is best to say
nothing, but take in whatever comes along. The
turkey is probably wondering why so much affec
tionate zeal is displayed in his behalf lust at this
particular time. There is just one particular
drawback to this thanksgiving business; instead
OF the relations of ones wife being sacrificed on
this occasion, it is the time when they crowd
around the festival board to partake of the sacri
ice. This really implants the suspicion that it is
often the occasion for the greatest unthankfuI-
ness"

Marks OF GOOD Cow.-A writer in the
Maryland Farmer in discussing the points of a
good COW says: eve have never yet seen an an
lma with horns and ears well eolOred golden yell
low which failed to make fine quality of butter
and highly colored. 1t is an unmistakable SIGN.
The body should be of good size, and the width
and depth rapidly increases as it runs to the rear
or hind quarters The Milk veins should be large
and prominent, and the udder need not be neees-
sariy large, so it is not meaty, but is very small
when MIXED out. The teats should be of good
size, and only have a single hole in each /: we
have seen quite number with teats having two
holes. The hair should be soft and fine. while
the skin should be soft, pliable, and almost as
soft to the feel velvet or kid In color it should
be tinged deeply with yellow, especially on the
shoulders and TANKS, and along the back The
color OF the hair is rather secondary matter,
though the best cows are generally yellow, fawn,
grey or white, with dark marks edged with
yellow"

a part of that body holding Unitarian views

the Separation of 1928. The far larger portion
of those calling themselves Friends evangel-
ica in their doctrine and have not six, but eleven
yearly meetings on this continent, Wis Canada,
New England, New York, Philadelphia, Baiti-
more, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Western
Iowa and Kansas. In addition to these there are
the yearly meetings of London and Dublin, and
the small bodies in Norway and Australasia. They
have also fourishing missions in India, Madagas-
car, on Mount Lebanon, and among the Roman

being almost invariably middle aged or vener-
able old people, as is stated, and it may be owing

which was apparent twenty five years ago has
been arrested almost everywhere. The member
ship in North Carolina has more than doubled
since 1868, and in Indiana, Iowa and Kansas the
increase has been very large"
