Fire in Observation-Disclosures 3 o'clock on
Monday afternoon last, the frame house of Mrs.
Daniel Harding, situated on the turnpike, at the
crossing of the Maryland Central Railroad, was
discovered on fire. An alarm was sounded and
in few minutes a large crowd had assembled,
and by hard work much of the furniture and bed
ding were saved. The structure was a two story
frame, with back -building. The fire started in
the rear portion of the house and burned with
such rapidity that no effort was made to save the
building. Close attention was given to the dwell
ling of Mrs. Jaue Moore, situated on the north,
and the lumber yard of Mrssrs. Corkran & Son,
on the opposite side of the turnpike, and by that
means the spread of the flames was averted. The
loss on the building is said to be covered by G
policy of insurance in the Baltimore county com
pany. 1t is not known how the fire originated.
Several engines of the county fire department ar
rived at the fire. but too late to render any assis-
lance.

Poisonous Postal Notes The POstofice
Department is issuing style of postal note.
1t is of the same size the old one but differs in
color and in the method of indicating the number
of dollars to be paid. The old one was made of
bright yellow paper, with broad design on the
back printed in green. The amount to be paid
was indicated by punching figures in the margin.
The new one is made of paper of faded lilac
color, and is printed in black the face and blue
Oh the back The number of dollars is indicated
by the number of stubs ATTACHED to it after it is
torn from the book. The chief reason for making
the change the poisonous character of the ink

Don't Neglect the Small Industries.-Tn
q community like Baltimore county there are al
ways many farmers, gardeners, mechanics, who
schieve excellence in, or make speciality Of, one
or two things Their products may be small
ones of themselves, but display of such success
es as they achieve, gathered together at limo
mum, would make total which would be worth
examining. Pains ought to be taken to get out
these people and their productions. There is no
doubt the society would be gratifed by such an
assemblage Of what are the results of minor in-
dustries, but which would illustrate the intelli-
gence, industry and perseverance of our working
people, on the land or in the shop.
One of the best displays of potatoes ever made
at TimOnium was by q man who measured his
garden by inches almost, yet in number of va
reties, in fairness, uniformity and smoothness of
tubers it was the best collection shown that year
or SINCE 1t was his speciality There are many
others like him

Mend the Roads Now.-Now is the time
for supervisors to begin mendng their roads so
that they will become compact and solid before
the weather gets very wet. There is no use go
ing over them throwing little fresh dirt here
and there without draining them at all, or fix
ing any places permanently. The first running
rain washes all this loose dirt away or makes mud
holes in tho road. A great deal the best plan to
pursue. if there is not enoueh money to properly
repair the entire road, is to permanently fix the
worst places, instead of going over the entire
road giving it a click and promise"

Saving Seed.-Every good gardener will
make it point to save portion of his garden
seeds, and in doing will make an effort to secure
those which possess the highest point of excellence.
IN saving cucumbers he will always endeavor to
save those that to all appearance are the best or
lis own family use, and also those that are the
most productive. Beans should not be saved from
vines that have had the pods picked off several
times for table use, but they should be saved from
ole end of a row from which no beans have been
gathered while green. 1t is very difficult to keep
melon seed pure in garden where several varie-
ties planted, but if he plants but one favorite
variety, and his neghbors are not too near, he
an save his own seed and keep it pure What
i true of melons will apply to squashes and many
dher vegetables; therefore in planting small
garden it is best to plant only few of the most
desirable varieties, then if they mix it will not be
as bad as if many worthless varieties are planted,
simply because they are new, and the seeds are
sold for high price.
