the temperature OF midsummer is not excess

are longer, and therefore our crops are not
killed by late or early frosts.
THE SOIL is of q variety of compositions

for the variety of products.

sive, catholic and scriptural policy
will always win.
Frostburg, scattered over the hills,
with some 1000 people, it is said
lies about 1890 feet above the sea
quite high enough for the vigor-
GUS blasts of winter, and for a pure
and invigorating atmosphere in sum-
mer. Blankets and heavy clothing
are now quite enjoyable, and our lad
les say they need no summer outfits
here. l prefer Frostburg to either
Oakland or Deer Park. l am told
there are some thirteen churches here.
The number of saloons | do not
know, but they are not u few. The
Gospel in English and German and
Welsh is preached. Rev. Shipman is
the popular and faithful pastor of
our English church, which is now
being capped with graceful spire,
whilst church and parsonage are being
renovated. regret to find my good
friend, Judge Percy, so long,a strong
pillar in the church, enfeebled by
protracted illness, but dwelling, he
says, in Beulah- land. l trust he
may be spared yet long to the church
and cause he loves so earnestly.
The people devoted to their pastor
and wife, and they feel justly en-
couraged in their work.
Rev. Homrighaus, of Washington,
is, with his excellent wife, spending
a few weeks at her home here, and is
making himself useful among the
flock served by him before going to
the Capital. In less than two years
two pastors have succeeded him over
this now pastorlsss flock. The peo-
pie are devoted to him, and would
gladly again call him, were it posi-
BILE to bring him to the mountains A
merited compliment this to pastoral
faithfulness. A devoted pastor
makes a devoted people; and how
how greatly we need especially an
glicized German pastors, to care for
these strangers of a strange language
from our own Fatherland.

Frostburg is the centre of the world

A few miles from town you pass
the clouds of smoke escaping through
the broken earth-crust, beneath

ingenuity and toll of man have not
been able to e1tinguish. "And the

The following is recommended as
cure for sleeplessness: Wet half
towel, applying it to the back Of
the neck, pressing 1t toward the base
of the brain, and fasten the dry half
of the towel over so as to prevent too
rapid evaporation. The effect is
prompt and charming, inducing
calmer, sweeter sleep than any mar
cOtic.

LOVE is the publication of the
heart from self; it strengthens and
ennobles the character, gives high
er motive and nobler aim to every
action of life, and makes both man
and woman strong, noble and cour-

and devotedly is the noblest gift with
which human being can be endow-
ed but it IS sacred fire that must
not be burnt to idols.

EXPERIENCE keeps dear school,
but fools will learn in no other, and

if you will not hear reason she will
surely rap your knuckles.

TIRED EYEs.-An occulist says:
People speak about their eyes being
fatigued, meaning that the retina, or
seeing portion of the brain, is fatigued
but such is not the case, as the retina
hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue
is in the inner and outer muscles
attached to the eyeball and the
muscles of accommodation, which sur
rounds the lens of the eye. When
near object IS to be looked at this
muscles relaxes and allows the lens
to thicken, increasing its refractive
power. The inner and outer muscles
are used in covering the eye on
object is to be looked at. 1t is in the
three muscles mentioned the fatigue
is felt, and reliefis secured temporar-
lily by closing the eyes or gazing at
ar-distant objects. The usual indica-
tion of strain is a redness of the rim
of the eyelid, betokening congested
state of the inner surface, accompan-
led with some pam. Rest is not the
proper remedy for a fatigued eye, but
the use of glasses Of sufficient power
to render unnecessary so much effort
to accommodate the eye to vision.

. A GENTLEMAN recently returned
from Europe says the project Of
our exhibition of American products,
arts and manufactures in London two
years from now is received with
great favor in England, and if the
exhibition is creditable one, it will
do more to extend American markets
and commerce than could be done in
any other way. Regarding the sue
cess of the project the gentleman says
it will depend on how the American
manufacturers respond with exhibits.
If the exhibit is good the attend
ance would be very large. The pro-
iect is now in the hands of men of
abundant means, who are determined
to make success of it.

WONDERFUL discoveries of gold
are being made in the Andes. The
story grew out of the sudden return
to Deadwood of an old miner who
had dropped out of memory for a
long time. He brought with him
some remarkable gold specimens,
declaring that he found them at a
point eight days travel from the
headwaters Of the Amazon, and that
he discovered the true fissure, which
absolutely bewildered him with it's
richness, but before he could begin
work upon it he was driven away by
Indians, and he came back to organize
band of skilled miners to return to
the spot. Five men joined him ana
they returned, and send reports of the
most wonderful discoveries.
