SHOES of new sort, coarse merino
wool from South America, are being made
by 80 convicts in the Maryland peniten-
tary. The wool, after being cleaned and
carded, is hardened and made into a
rough, pliable cloth, twice the thickness
OF sole leather. The soles are made
harder and heavier. They are intended
for use in the dry, cold climates of the
North. 1t is said that no matter how
low the temperature the feet will never
get cold in those shoes, which are ship
ped principally to lumber camps in the
North and Northwest.

A HERD of Jerseys is now an almost
indispensable requisite for an establish
ment in the country. 1t is now no longer
an uncommon thing to see cattle of fine
blood in the far South or West, and
although it requires much time to effect
great change in the stock of the whole
country, it is evident that the desire to
improve their herds is felt by stock
raisers of every State and Territory, and
the demand for fine cattle is likely to
prevent great decline in their price for
mahy years. The continuance of the
demand for superior stock of all kinds
will ultimately make this the land of the
finest herds in the world.

IT is well known that small knoll
gives tornado bound which carries it
over all buildings in the depression i'm
mediately beyond, and as the terrific
storms come almost invariably from the
south and west, intelligent people may be
expected to sacrifice many considerations
to safety in the selection of sites for their
houses. To build on the top of hill
may please the eye, but to take shelter
under the northeast side of the elevation
may save life and property. Doubtless
the time will come when the Weather
Bureau will do its work SO thoroughly
that warnings of destructive storms will
be given several hours in advance to the
people in their track, but care in the
selection of sites and in the construction
of buildings able to resist great pressure
of wind will be none the less necessary to
prevent the loss of property.

A NEW use. has been discovered for oys-
ter shells. For years used for the manu-
tacture of lime as manure and in the
preparation Of imitation marble, it is now
learned that by throwing empty shells
into the sea they form the best possible
foundation for oyster beds. In July and
August shiploads of shells will be sunk
in suitable localities by English and
French oyster raisers. Experiments have
proven that in two years from thirty to
forty young oysters will be found cling
ing to each empty shell. They can be
removed to be fattened in tanks and the
space left clear for newcomers.

ELKTON, MAY 10, 1888.

A CRAZE for land has attacked people
who have money to invest, and the fact
that companies have been organized in
Europe to purchase extensive tracts in
America seems to have convinced many
that to buy land is the best investment
they can make. Not ali investments in
government land have been profitable,
and the Western tax assessors have driven
out many Eastern property holders from
among them by the imposition of Excess
sive taxes. Persons who invest in gov
ernment land need to exercise extreme
caution in the selection of it.

The improvement in machinery is uni
versally admitted to have been more
marvellous in the United States than
anywhere else, and the inventive achieve
ments of the nation have been one of the
most important factors in making this
the wealthiest country on the face of the
globe. There is hardly land to which
our machinery of various kinds is not
exported, while on the other hand very
little foreign machinery is used in the
United States. Manufacturers as far
west as the Mississippi river ship their
machines to Europe, and the industry in
which they are engaged is vast. The
1mertcan Machinist notes that "a marked
feature of the machine business at the
present time is the number of establish
ments, large and small, which are fitting
up for the manufacture, as distinct from
the building, of machinery" That is,
the division of labor is principle which
affects the industry, and in every branch
of machinery manufacturers are devoting
themselves to specialties.

IT is queried by some whether the OBJ
servance Of Decoration Day will not cease
when participators in the great struggle
for the Union have Joined their comrades
who fell upon the field of battle, but it is
not probable that May 80 will lose it's
place as national holiday. 1t is to be
expected, rather, that the scope of the
Memorial Day will be extended, so that
it will be devoted to the memory of all
the nations dead who have performed
distinguished service, whether upon the
field of battle or in civil life. 1t will
never cease TO be profitable to devote one
day in the year to the memory of our
country's heroes, that the rising genera
tion may be stimulated to study and to
emulate their virtues. Nor is the OBJ
lection valid that Decoration Day is
celebrated as gala festival rather than
as an occasion of mourning, for it is to
exult in the heroism of those who have
died in their country's service that con-
stitutes the worthiest use of the men,
orial. The pomp of military parades will
never cease to be a fiji accompaniment for
the ceremony of strewing the graves of
heroes with flowers,
