A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENTERpRlsE.-Mr.
Joseph Wardin who short time ago established
a stationery and newspaper store in the thriving
town of Waverly, is succeeding far beyond his
most sangune expectations, and the store is filling
a want long felt in that place. The young lady
who has charge of the store is most polite and
accommodating, serving her numerous customers
with promptness and satisfaction, and she deserves
the liberal patronage she is receiving. In con-
nection with his other business Mr.. Wardin is the
agent for the sale of tickets for the 0riole Base
Ball grounds, and when the season opens the
lovers of this sport can be supplied with admission
tickets at his store. The people of Waverly should
and we believe will, sustain this new business
enterprise,

How to Cook Water.-The secret is in put
ting good fresh water into neat kettle, already
warm, and setting the water to boiling quickly,
and then taking it right off for in tea, coffee
or other drinks before it is spoiled. To let it
water is in the atmosphere and the lime and iron
and dregs only left in the kettle-bah that is
what makes great many people sick, and is
worse than no water at all. There is wholesome
truth in the above that explains the nauseous taste
of otherwise fragrant mocha or invigorating young
hyson.

Don't be Afraid of the Sunshine.-son

Don't be Afraid OF the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
people are afraid of sunshine. They close the
shutters of the house early in the morning and
don't open them again until shutdown. This is
all wrong. Don't be afraid of the sunshine, let it
into your homes, its rays are healthy and life Civ
ing. Let the sunshine stream into your rooms
even at the risk of fading the carpets. 1t will
cleans, purify and sweeten them, and drive away
disease and DEATH. Again we say, don't be afraid
OF the sunshine.

Union Memorial Day.-The Commander
in. Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic has
issued the following orders relative to the APP
preaching Memorial Day: 49,,
"The Grand Army observes, on May 3Oth next,
for the sixteenth time, the beautiful custom OF
strewing with flowers the graves of our dead COM
rades. Memorial day will be observed by our peo-
pie so long as our flag floats over united nation,
and it is our duty, as the survivors of the armies
and navies, whose deeds of valor and patriotism
shed such lustre upon the annals of our country,
to see that the ceremonies appropriate to the day
and occasion are properly directed. These cere-
monies cannot revive antagonisms of the past ;
they should stir up in hearts not only tender
recollections of the memories of the dead but also
a more exalted patriotism and devotion to coun-
try in the future Each Post will, in compliance
with the rules and regulations, in its own way,
arrange for the proper observance of the day"

Some of Maryland's Mineral Treasures.
At meeting of the Maryland Academy of Sciences
held on Monday, save the Sun, the Rev. G. A.
Leakin spoke on the mineral resources of Mary
land. Mr.. Chas. L. Oudesluys and Mr.. VIM. M.
Candy suggested that some commercial action
s1IO uIu IL tar~- r.. a. ~ -a'-y &c tha fra do
posts of serpentine stone near Baltimore. The
stone referred to is about six miles north of Bati-
more, where there are immense quantities of it,
fine in quality and of various shades of color,
some of it being beautifully veined and variega-
ted. Mr.. A. P. Sharp said that 900 tons of re.
fuse leather had lately come to Baltimore as bal
last, and was used to put in fertilizers. Northern
States prohibited its use in fertilizers.
DIR. Ii. A.. Brooks gave account of his dis
covery of the mineral samarskite in the Falls
road quarries, about a. quarter of a mile beyond
Baltimore. The mineral was known to occur only
in fattened grains in the linen mountains, near
MASK, in the Ural, but the masses found by DIR.
Brooks were several inches in extent. One of
these specimens, now in the collection Of DIR. F..
E. Chatard, of this city, recently analysed
by Prof Koenig, of the University of Pennsylva-
MA At first he thought it was an entirely new
mineral, but a critical examination gave its con-
stituents as exactly those of the Russian samar-
skite. The mineral is a compound of the rare
metals of yttria and uranium, with columbia and
tungstic acids etc. 1t is found in North Carolina,
but not in masses as large as those found near
| Baltimore. There is interest in the finding of
| this rare mineral in new locality and in a diff
| ferent rock formation. The Falls road locality
| is where DIR. Haydn, of Baltimore, discovered the
modification of chabazie, which was named after
the discoverer, Haydenite. The locality is being
looked after by mineralogsts at the Johns Hop
kins and others in Baltimore.

Arrest for Forgery.-On the 10th instant,
T. Monroe Richardson, farmer of the 10th dis

is asserted that he purchased two horses in Bal
timore for $500, and gave in payment his note,
endorsed by Messrs Jacob NJ Pearce and Car
vile Perdue, citizens of My Lady's Manor.
Richardson, shortly afterwards, sold the horses
for less than he had given for them. 1t is said
that the signatures of the sureties on the note
were forged, hence his arrest Richardson has
since been bailed for court. The accused belongs
to a very respectable family on My Lady's Manor,
and much sympathy is expressed for them.

Early Planted Corn.-A writer in the R"rat
Ne,o- Yorker contends that by planting corn at
the earliest safe moment we not only increase the
chances that the crop will receive the necessary
number of degrees Of accumulated heat during
the warm season, but the number of hours of sun
shine as well, and, what is of nearly as much i'm
portance, we advance the epoch Of blossoming
several days, and by so doing hasten maturity by
several weeks. This is new and surprising
statement to many, but it is, nevertheless, cor
rect one.

Utilizing Bones.-Not many wears opo saws

Utilizing Bones.-Not many years ogo says
Prairie Farmer, the bones of animals had no
money value and were considered useless rubbish.
Later they came into use for making buttons,
knife handles common piano keys, etc.; then to
supply phosphorus for friction matches and other
purposes the demand for them increasing very
rapidly. Soon their value fertilizer was rec
ognized, and now the farmer who does not save
and make good use of all the bones he can find
on his place is behind the times.
In the processes where large quantities of bones
are used, they supply valuable byproduct in
the way of fats or fatty acids which are extern
sively used in the manufacture of soaps and other
articles of commerce.
Two prominent bone products enter largely into
daily use, viz, glue and animal charcoal. The
value of these two products aggregates millions
of dollars annually.
Such facts show the value of things too often
overlooked, or so little esteemed as to be permit
ted to 60 to waste.
Farmers generally understand that the chief
fertilizing property of bones is the phosphate Of
lime they contain, amounting to half their dry
weight. The organic part, that which can be
burned out, or will decay out in time, contains
much nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and sulphur,
the nitrogen being valuable as fertilizer.
The reduction of bones goes rapidly in con-
tact with fermenting matters. They should be
broken up and placed in a compact compost heap
with ashes, then covered with thick layer of
earth and the mass kept moist. 1t is better if
moistened with liquid manure.

DIR. GoTTHEIL, pastor of Temple Emanuel
Hebrew, New York city, preached remark
able sermon on Saturday last 'Chanuka of
Christmas; what Christianity owes to the Macca-
bees" He commended the social reunions and
charitable acts peculiar to Christmas-tide, and
thought all people of every religious belief
should unite in them. There was reason why
the Jews should not feed the poor and hungry
at Christmas time. Many had thought of glo-
rious union of all religious people dispensing
charity in unison. One of the Western rabbis
actually proposed marriage with the sacrifice
of date on the part of the Jews. Possible OBJ
jeetions the rabbi had tried to set at rest by a
reference to the fact that Christmas is Christian

Mr.. Murphy is one of the substantial, ''solid"
