Rockingham County.

A large number of the citizens of Rock
ingham assembled in Harrisonburg last
Monday, Court-day. Politics, Of course, EN-
gagged much of their attention. The Dem
ocrats were addressed in the Court House
by Hon. r. A. Ayres and Judge w. r.
Staples, and the Republicans onthe Court
green by. Mr.. ]. Yost, after a joint dis
cussion, proposed by the Republicans,
had been declined. The audiences were
large, the Democrats admitting that they
were about equal in number, while the
Republicans claimedthe larger representa-
ton. The speech of each Of the speakers
was well received by their friends, and each
party is claiming the county, the Republi-
cans the more sanguinely. Judge Staples
did not come up to the expectation Of his
hearers, as is not unfrequently the case
where a gentleman enjoys a high reputa-
ton as a platform orator and disputant.
One feature of his remarks was q lauda-
ton Of the old Democratic party, forget
ting, we suppose, in his zeal for the new
Democracy, that in the olden times he de-
nounced Democracy as severely as he now
does Republcanism. He also gave prom
inence to the race line, which we did not
expect, as Judge Staples is capable of dis
cussing the practical issues of the cam
paign, without resorting to such appeals.
Altogether the Republicans of Rocking
ham were we'll satisfied with the day S pro-
ceedings and the effects Of the two de-
monstrations.
Highland, Bath, and Allegheny.
For the legislative district composed OF
these three counties, Capt Arch McClin-
tic of Bath county has been nominated as
the Republican candidate to supply the
vacancy caused by the withdrawal of Col.
w. D. Erwin. Capt McClintic is making
an active and vigorous canvass and will
win. He is popular full Of. life and vim, and
will make an excellent representative OF
the real interests of the district. There will
be no trouble in electing him, by q good
majority, if the Republicans of those coun-
ties go to work in earnest. Indeed, we
shall be disappointed if he does not carry
every county in the district. His friends
are confident and enthusiastic, and among
them there is no more earnest or effective
supporter than Col. Erwin. Let the peo-
pie of the District rally to Arch with a
will, and make the majority SO decisive
that their will be no chance for Bourbon
ism there for years to come.

defeat of the Blair Bill in Congress. We

Meteroic Dust on Icebergs.

One of the most interesting facts
contributed by Prof. Nordenskjold to
popular science is contained in his ac-
count of his examination-when about
eighty degrees north latitude, before
reaching Parry's Island, to the north
west of Spitzbergen of the snow
which covered the icebergs and which
had come from still higher ATTITUDES.
He found it strewn with multitude
of minute black particles, spread over
the surface or situated at the bottom
of little pits, a great number of
which were to be seen on the out
ward layer of snow; many such par
ticles were also lodged in the interior
strata. This dust. which became gray
on drying, the Professor found to con-
tain a large proportion of metallic
particles attracted by the magnet and
capable of decomposing sulphate of
copper. An observation made a little
later upon other icebergs proved the
presence of similar dust in a layer of
granular crystalline snow situated be-
meath stratum of light fresh snow
and another of hardened snow. Upon
ANALYSIS the Professor found this mat
ter to be composed in VARYING proper

s'What was the trouble with your
customer" the manager was asked as
he walked into the store. ''Was she
one of the crank speciesP'' ''Well."
said the manager. eff you can call a
person a crank who thinks more of "a dog
than child. then she is one, and the
class of which she is fair specimen is
by no means small. The whole trouble
arose from a mistake made in measur-
ing her dogs foreleg for a bracelet.
After the animal had worn it few
times it became tight, and in removing
it the skin was slightly abraded. Why
do say that she thought.more of her
dog than her child? Well. my judg-
ment is based upon a commercial trans
action. She came in here about two
weeks ago with one of the prettiest
children ever saw and bought a ring
for the little one 1t cost 1915, while
she paid S2S for bracelet for the yelp-
ing cur"
ornaments?"
"Well, yes, though at present there
pie who buy these things are out of
the city. just before the opening of
the summer-resorts our trade had
wonderful boom, and it would have
surprised one who had not been initi-
ated to see the valuable ornaments
that were ordered for pets. The
trade, however. has not been as good
this year as it was last, probably Re-
cause the line of jewelry worn by each
animal was full. This business began
six or seven years ago, and jumped
into full swing when, at one of the ami
NAL dog shows, a pug was exhibited
with a beautiful pair of bracelets upon
its forelegs. The ladies were overcome
by the cravings of envy and fastened
to adorn their pugs in the same way.
Some even went so far as to have the
ears of their dogs pierced and dainty
little ear-drOps suspended therefrom.
A philanthropic sp rit started the story
that this practice interfered with the
dogs hearing and was mild method
of torture, and it has now fall
len into disuse. However much the
owners may admire the appearance of
their bespangled pets. l have yet to
find the dog that feels elated when
jewelry is put on him. Dogs usually
try to tear these things off W tn their
paws or gnaw them Oft. These orna-
ments are not confined to bracelets,
but include collars-plain, ieweled. or
with artistically engraved monograms
expensive blankets. and embroidered
wraps. They are ordered for dogs of
every size and species, but more fire.
quently for dogs that might be termed
pets. The prices paid are various. but
are always high. because nearly every
order provides for a special design and
the patterns and settings. if jewels are
used. have to be specially prepared. 1
know of one lady who owned fine
pug and terrier. She had a fancy that
they would look well in double har-
ness. and ordered set to be made af-
ter pattern that she had drawn on
paper. 1t was an elaborate affair
studded with gems. and model of
beauty when completed. She counted
out $3.50 for it without murmur.-
