Reunited by Their Only Child.

A letter from Port Jervis, N. T.. says;
j. ID. Bunnell, of Carbondale, at one
time a resident of this village, while
here on business to day, said that about
two years ago his wife began proceed
ings, for divorce. It was the old story
--an impulsive cOurtship, a happy mar
riage, and a gradual estrangement. Mr..
Bunnell made no opposition to the pro-
ceedings and soon afterward the divorce
was granted. Mrs. Bunnell kept the only
child, bright boy of seven, and opened
a hair-dressing establishment in this
village, and this fall went TO Philadel-
phia to live with sister, Mr.. Bunnell
ha been employed as commercial
traveller by Carbondale firm. The
little boy proved bond OF union be-
tween the two, and a correspondence
was opened between them in relation to
the child, IN which many messages were
exchanged. Finally Mr.. Bunnell pro-
posed to relieve his wife Of the expense
of educating the hoy by taking the la1
to the home of his grandmother, in
Carbondale. From that place he went
TO Philadelphia. This, Of course, brought
father and mother together. The result
of the interview was the rekindling of
the old love flame. reconciliation took
place and they resolved to again unite
fortunes. Mr.. Bunnell returned to
Carbondale with the boz, and last week
his wife followed and they were again
married.

Social Condition Of Colonial Maryland.

AT first the economic circumstances
of Maryland were precisely the same as
those which determined the character of
society in the Southern colonies. To-
bacco played as important a part as in
Virginia. The land was parcelled out
in vast estates, and all the people be-
came planters. Negro slaves were ac-
cordingly introduced in great numbers,
but they never came, as they did in Vir-
ginia, to outnumber the white people.
At the beginning OF the Revolution the
population of the colony was about 250,-
900, of whom less than 100, ZOO were
negroes. As in Virgin a, the slaves had
no legal rights, but were in general
mildly treated. Convicted felons and
kidnapped pauper children were
brought from the mother country to
Maryland, and bound to service for
a term of years; and they made
the beginnings of pariah class of
"mean Whites" exactly as they did in
the Southern colonies. For a long time
the exclusive cultivation of tobacco pre-
vented the growth of towns, and the
life of the people was as isolated rs in
Virginia. The roads were few and bad,
and travel, whether for business or for
pleasure, was mostly confined to the
rivers. Crime was more frequent than
in any of the Northern colonies. Edu-
cation was at a low ebb, for, although
public schools were established in 1928,
they were conducted entirely in the in.
terests of the Church of England, and
being thus deprived of popular sympa-
thy and support they made but little
hao sftyo os,1
no literary activity, and there were but
few private libraries, and no newspapers
until 1745.
SO far there seems to have been but
little to distinguish the state of society
in Maryland from that in Virginia. But
before the Revolution, under the intu-
ence, perhaps, of the example of Penn
sylvania, a remarkable change had set
in. A succession of bad tobacco crops,
due to the exhaustion of the soil which
is wont to attend the overcultivation of
that staple, led many of the great plant
g TO turn their attention to the raising
Of wheat. This was the beginning of
very important changes in the social
structure of the colony. The wheat crop
soon became so cons derable that wheat
and flour began to be exported in great
quantities; and through this ex-
port trade the town of Baltimore,
which had been founded in 1929,
grew so fast that by the time of the
Revolution it had become the fourth
city in the whole country, with popu-
lation of nearly 10000. And having
once got such start, Baltimore not only
served as the great seaport of Mary
land, but was enabled to compete with
Philadelphia as an outlet for the foreign
trade of Pennsylvania The growth Of
Annapolis was also stimulated by these
circumstances; and this rapid develop
ment of town life, with the introduction
of wealthy and powerful class Of mer-
chants, went far toward assimilating
Maryland with the Middle and Northern
colonies, and diminishing its points of
contact with the society OF the South -

Early Training.

A few days ago couple of Pyrenean
bears passed our door in charge of a

perform a great variety of tricks, and

and exploits as trained monkey. The
other was clumsy and stolid in his per-
formance, and far less intelligent, appar-

and the only difference between them
was that one had been caught six
months earlier than the other, though
both were caught when cubs, and sdd-

salt for the Human System.


The London Laxeet combats the folly
OF some would-be improvers Of Gslep,
who decry the use Of salt as food con.
diment because 1t is mineral. Tie
Lancet says that common salt, chloride
Of sodius,, is the most widely distribute !
substance in the boiy; it exists 10 every
fnid and Ia every solid; and not
only is everywhere present, but in al
most every part it constitutes the largest
portion OF the ash when any tissue is
burnt. In particular it Is constant
constituent ef the blood, and it main
tsins in it q proportion that is almost
wholly independent Of the quantity that
10 consumed with the food. The blood
will take up so much and no more, how
ever much we may take with oar food,
and. on the other hand, if none BE- given,
the blood parts with its natural quantity
slowly aud unwillingly. Nothing cal
demonstrate its value better than ths
fact that if albumen without salt is in
troduced inro the intestines OF an animal
no portion Of it is absorbed. while it al
quickly disappears if salt be added. Th'
conclusion. therefore, IL obvious tina
salt. being wholesome. aud indeed necss
sary, should be taken in moderate quan
titles. and that abstention from It is like
ly to be injurious.
