Republican newspapers In this State are
generally advising their party in tho LeGisa-
ture not to act on tho prison contract labor
question. on tho ground that not one half OF tho
voters who went to the polls at the late election
recorded themselves In favor OF abo!ishnE the
present system. That is petty quibb!ing. Tho
complete returns received BY the Secretary of
State show that G73.0OO voters expressed an
opinion on the question. Of whom 4O5. sS2 were
in favor OF doing away with contracts and
266.9GG were opposed to my change. Those
voting for tho abolition OF contracts numbered
little less than half of all tho persons voting
this year. but tho fact remains that moro than
two-thrds OF the voters had something to say
on the question. Whether or not the Legisla-
turo may think 1t wise or feasible to abolish
contracts. it should deliberate upon and discuss
the question thoroughly 1t cannot dodge 1t in
the way that has been suggested.

T. N. TURNER.

The marble working industry next
comes up for mention in these fetch
ings," and as representative Of that
industry we have to refer to Mr.. 7.
M. Turner, whose works are upon
Rurke street, opposite the Peoples
National Bank building. These
works were opened by Mr.. Turner in
February last, but he was already
known to this community in connec-
ton with this business. Nine years
ago he began learning his trade here,
and until 1879 he worked as a jour
neyman. Then he formed a partner
ship. and under the style of Young
q Turner, opened yard on King
street. In 1881 he sold out to his
partner. and afterwards worked
again as journeyman at Cincinnati
and elsewhere until establishing
business this year. Mr.. Turner is "a
young man, enterprising and ener-
getic. and he goes about his business
in business like way. He doesn't
intend to do any more canvassing
for orders than he can help--he pre-
fers to attract customers to the shop
first by advertising, and then to hold
them, if he can. by virtue of low
prices and good work. Those who
visit the shop can see for themselves
just what they are ordering, and it is
"A much more satisfactory method
than to order FROM photographs,
while all the expense Of keepiog
man and team upon the road is
avoided.
Mr.. Turner is prepared to fill or,

at present the chief demand is for

stones and monuments. We have

done by Mrs. Rankin, who has had
many years experience, and at her
residence we were shown some very
beautiful specimens of her urtistic
skill.
Mr.. Rankins' eyesight has become
so poor that the sittings and general
work of the gallery falls to the lot Of
@. W. Brown, most competent
photographer, who has, during the
three years he has been with Mr..

his true appreciation Of the beauties
and possibilities Of photography. In
conclusion we may add that the gall

art, at Charlestown in 1887 he went
west, to GRANVILLE, White Co., ILL.,,
and it is a matter of record that he
was the first passenger that disem-
barked from steamboat on the Big
Wabash, at that point. One year
later Mr.. Hoke removed to Carmi,
ILL.,, where he engaged in trade upon
his own account. Carmi was stu
ated upou the verge of that portion
of the State known as Egypt and
it was a veritable beacon-light of in
telligence and thrift and industry to
the surrounding country. Among
its citizens at that time We're such
prominent men as Chief Justice Will
son, U. S. Senator John M. Robin
son and Lieut., Gov. Davidson. and
though the village had but about 300
inhabitants, it exerted great influ-
ence. Remaining in trade at Carmi
for a period of about four years, Mr..
Hoke returned to Berkeley county,
and located at Gerardstown, where
he engaged in trade, and remained
in business for twenty years, lacking
one week. The war broke up his
business as it did that Of hundreds
of others, and If we remember right
ly, Mr.. Hoke did not re-engage in
trade until 1874 or 1875, and then
more for the purpose of advancing
the interests of his son, G.. M. Hoke,
than anything else. This last named
gentleman, though not partner, as,
sists in it's management, and has
proved himself an energetic, tho
rough worker-a young man who has
made for himself a host of friends.
We are informed that the trade of
the house for the fiscal year closing
in June last, was the best it has yet
had. This trade is purely of a local
| character; that is, it comes from
town ana the country naturally trib
utary to Martinsburg, and very
large proportion OF it is for cash.
The house labors under the disadvan'
tage of having too small a salesroom,
but the location is q good one, ana
Mr.. Hoke manages to get along.
During the half century that he
has been in active business life, chan
ges innumerable in methods, in GUS
toms, in places, have occurred.
These so years embrace the vital
years of the country and during them
Mr.. Hoke has been anything but a
drone in the hive.

Snnlii Rooms.

No article Of furniture should be put
in a room that viii not stand sunlight
for every room in a dwelling should
have the windows so arranged that
sometime during the day a food Of
sunlight will force itself into the apart
ment. The importance Of admitting
the light freely 10 all parts of our
dwelling cannot be too highly estimat-
ed. Indeed, perfect health is nearly as
dependent on pure sunlight as it is on
pure air. Sunlight should never be
uncomfortable 10 the eyes. and walks
should be in bright sunlight, so that
the eyes are protected 10y veil or para
sol when inconveniently intense. A
sun-bath is Of more importance in pre-
serving a healthful condition of the
body than is generally understood. IL
costs nothing. and that is misfortune,
for people are deluded with the idea
that those things can only be good and
useful which cost money. But remem-
ber that pure water, fresh air and sun
lii homes, kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills
of the doctors, and give You health and
vigor, which no money could procure.
II is an established fact that people
who live much in the sun are usually
stronger and more healthy than those
whose occupations deprive them Of
sunlight And certainly there is moth
ing strange in the result, since the
same law applies with equal force to
nearly every animate thing in nature
II is quite easy to arrange an isolated
dwelling so that every room in It may
be flooded with sunlight some time in
the day, and IL is possible that many
town houses could be so built as TO ad.
init more light than they now receive.

Naming a Lake.

Years ago, it was discovered that q
certain lake which had long been con-
sidered the head Of the Mississippi, had
no claim to that honor. The explorers
found a new and smaller lake from
which the great river took its rise. A
discussion arose as 10 what name would
be appropriate for it. The story Is
that it was decided in this way:

a word" said an old voyager. Some
of you larned ones tell me what is the
Latin for true"
"Veritas," answered a scholar.
"Wel, now, what Is Latin for

"Caput."
"Now write the two words together
by syllables."
The scholar wrote on a strip of
blrch-bark, "veritas caput-"
"Read it."
The FIVE syllables were read.
"Now drop the first and last sylla-
bles and you'll have a good name for
this lake" And Ttasca" il was.

4 NATIONAL LACK.-Dr. Selden
II. Talcott, superintendent Of the New
York state homeopathic asylum for
the insane, says that our national lack
is tn at Of recuperating sleep. Against
the use Of the so-called hypnotics in
massive doses he protests, because the
temporary benefits are heavily dis
counted by the evil effects which al
most always follow. Two conditions
oppose the requirements Of sleep
These are hyperamia Of the brain
stimulating IT TO undue activity, and
playing the part Of whip and spur
10 tired horse-and the opposite Of
hypermmia, excessive cerebral angmia.
To relieve the former by rational
methods, the blood forces must be en-
ticed away from "their persistent as
saults upon the cranial fortress" This
can best be accomplished by filing the
stomach with solid food, thus furnish
ing temporary engagement for the
pugilistic globules on other fields"
The food should be Of the coarsest
and plainest, else the remedy might
produce an aggrayation. Should ex
cessiye anamia exist, and a state Of
nerve irritability and trepidation he
thus produced, take liquid food, such
az hot milk, beef tea, and Droths, about
an hour before sleep is intended. This
Is Of peculiar value 10 persons Of sed-
entary habits, 10 those who take toe
little exercise, and 20 those who suffer
from imperfect circulation. Sleep
may usually be obtained, after hard
and irritating days work, by a warm
bath, cold douche, and a brisk rub
hing following that, just previous 70
retiring for the night. Fresh air
should be freely supplied in every
sleeping room; yet the sleeper should
be protected from even moderate
draughts; for these, though apparently
slight at first, will produce chilliness
Of one portion Of the body, while an
other may be overheated, and thus a
disturbing inequality Of circulation
ensues. Beds should be firm in tex
turc, level, and well elevated from the
floor, for thus complete circulation
around the bed is secured.

A Locust Invasion.

Wonderful is the account Of a locust
invasion Of Syria, as related by Or
William Thomson. lie tells how, in
the early spring, flying squadron
the pioneers Of the vast army-passed
over the land, leaving it thickly sown
with their eggs, lying in little masses,
cemented together, scattered all over
fields, plain, and desert ground This
done, these harbingers Of woe van
ished; but within couple Of months
the very dust seemed TO awaken TO
life and 20 creep. soon these infni-
tesimal moving atoms developed into
minute grasshoppers, who began their
destructive existence, all moving for
ward in one general direction. a creep.
ing. jumping mass Of living particles.
DR.. Thomson describes his first view
Of this phenomenon. He was riding
near Fuliyeh, when IL struck him that
the side Of the hlll had a peculiar ap
pearance. Riding up 10 it. TO his
amazement, the whole surface became
agitated, and began TO roll downward.
His horse was so frightened that he
had TO dismount Then he perceived
that this animated dust was composed
Of myriads Of minute locuSts, so oyoung
that they could not even jump; but in
their infantile alarm they rolled over
and over, producing an effect like the
movement Of fluid mortar.
On another occasion he rode through
a district where the work Of extirpa-
tion was going ON. 1t was near the
plain of Acre, and a swarm of locusts
had overrun the whole region. The
governor Of Kahul had summoned
every man, woman, and child in the
neighborhood TO lend their aid in the
COMMON cause The foe had not vet
grown their wings. and. being unable
TO fly. were compelled TO run in what
ever direction they we're driven. So
the people formed vast circle. beat
ing the bushes and shouting. in order
TO frighten the insect host and drive
them toward an isolated hill covered
with dry grass. Soon the Hill became
black with the countless myriads which
throngcd il. Then the grass was set
on fire in different places. and the
flames, famed by strong breeze. soon
spread over the whole hill, filling the
air with an oyerpowering smell OF
roast locust. The same operation was
performed at many different points in
the neighborhood. with very excellent
results. -Nineteaath cenfusg.
