on the ST. Mary's river a branch Of
the Potomac. Last summer 81. Marg's
City celebrated its 250th anniversary.
1t was at ST. Mary's City that Lord
Baltimore and his party landed when
he settled Maryland. To-day there
is but one family residence here.
During the school season there are
about fifty young ladies here. There
are but few signs OF the lost city.
Here and there, there are yet to be
seen traces Of the foundation walls
Of the little city that was; but even
these are about obliterated. At this
place was built the first state house in
Maryland Years afterward Annapo-
lis was made the capitol. The outlines
of the old state house are still able.
Many OF the imported brick, which
came from England, were used in the
construction Of the church that was
built many years after the capitol was
changed to Annapolis Others were
used in building the academy I'm
ported bricks were used in the con-
struction Of many OF the original
houses in this country. They are
about one-third longer, half inch
wider, and half-inch thicker than
the modern-made BRICK. They are
also much harder, and have more the
appearance of stone than the red clay
brick which is now in use.
The mulberry tree under which
Lord Baltimore offered prayer upoa
his arrival PSI years ago, still stands,
though a great many branches have
been cut off, from time TO time, TO be
worked up ia canes and ether relics,
so dear to Marylanders, as well as to
some others.

ever killed, as they are so wild and
SO fleet of foot Ia captivity they are
valuable and rare, as they are beautl-
full specimans, and their meat is desir-
able. The heads of large rams are
much sought after by collectors, and
are very handsome.
The mountain lion. peculiar to this
region, is called in the south the
cougar, in other districts the cata>
mount, and III still others the panth..
err, but it is properly named the puma,
and is the largest of American cat
animals, with the exception of the
iagnar, which is found ia Mexico and
Central America.
The Colorado wildcat is spotted,
carnivorous animal, which has yell
lowish green eyes. Il sleeps during
the daytime, and at night forages
for its prey. These animals descend
upon farm yards, where they attack
young calves and hen,roosts.
There are three kinds of bears PEE
culiar to this section. They are The
range bear, the cinnamon bear, and
the black bear. The range bear close
ly resembles the grizzly than any
other variety found in Colorado. The
gtlzzly proper is found IN the Sierra
Nevadas
The cinnamon bear is extremely
vicious; it is the worst Of its kind to
attack and the hardest to Kill. 1t de>
rives its name from the cinnamon
color of its fur, which varies from
light to extremely dark shades.
Colorado badgers are similar to the
woodchucks of the east. The marmot
is found in the mountains above limb
err line. They have sharp, shrill
whistle, which is very peculiar and
he origin of which is but little known
it being invariably attributed to some
other animal.
The coney, which is mentioned sew
eral times in the bible, is found no.
where but in the rocks above timber
line. These animals have no tails,
and have extremely large ears. They
are sometimes called by mountaineers
rock rabbits" and have soft, yellow~
ish hair.

Oyertaxing the Brain

The editress of Harper's Bazaar
treats in her usual clear and sensible
style the subject OF nervous diseases.
She does not, however touch upon the
resultant malady of brain disorder ia
form OF insanity or imbecility. The
trouble with a man engaged in per-
picking business affairs which over
tax his brain, bring about loss of appe-
tite and general prostration is that he
will not recognize that he is a sick
man and that he must have rest and
nedicaments, and meantime turn
over his business matters 10 some
well man to manage until he recover
ed his own health. Instead of persu
ing this course he vexes the tired
brain until it gives way altogether.
1t has always seemed a sad affair that
Horace Greedy could not have been
taken in hand earlier by some firm
ard judicious physician and made to
take the absolute rest required. A
horse may be driven to death, and a
man of ambition, energy and will,
with a fine nervous organization, will
kill himself through abnormal strain
if he can not be arrested in time by
friendly interposltion and made to
give nature chance to recuperate.
The loss OF weight is often good test

Anthracite

There is material for serious study
in the reports Of coal consumption.
The output Of the anthracite for
eight months of the present year was
1898 tons less than the production
for the corresponding period OF last
year. 1t was over 81, 500, 600 tons less
than the amount sent 10 market for
the first eight months Of 1858. There
is evidence of a steady decline in
anthracite consumption, while the
volume OF the Unanimous trade up 10
this time has exceeded the output for
the same period of 1854 by 443, 437
tons. The decline I'M the aggregate
consumption of anthracite and bl-
luminous Goals is traced by many
the inactivity of the railroad and iron
interests, but ii is probable that the
gigantic combinations OF coal carriers
and producers is responsible for most
Of the decentralization of tAe trade and
FOR the curtailment of the demand.
