NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAIN! !!
ALWAYS AHEAD.
THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE

| Persons who have passed by the Maryland In
stltute lately have been struck by the tranSfor-
nation in the appearance Of the building e1 pro-
in attractive and tasteful coors One of the Off
Gals of the Institute stated to q NeacS reporter
plished by means of the appropriation recently
made by the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
| more. The work was done under the personal
| inspector of buildings, and only the very best
| material was used. The paint used was that
manufactured by the New Jersey Enamel Paint
Company the excellence of which has become
known to the public through the fact that it has
been also used upon The american and San build
iags, Fords Grand Opera House, the Carrollton
and many other conspicuous structures. Mr..
Oster was requested by the president of the In
stitute and several of the directors to use this
paint when the appropriation was made He was
at first disnclned to acquiesce in the suggestion,
owing to the fact that he did not believe in ready
mixed paints. Hisopposition arose from the fact
that he had experienced the wortheSsneSs OF
many articles put upon the market under the
name of ady-mixed paints, some OF which We're
limitations of the article suggested by the Insti-
ry to a gentleman so thoroughly capable of Judg-
ing the excellence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When,
however, his attention had been called to the
buildings mentioned above, and he had seen a
practical demonstration of the qualities OF this
paint, he consented, with his usual courtesy, to
the wish OF those who had urged him to use the
article, and the result has more than equaled the
anticipations Of those who had urged the use OF
Mr.. G. p Knight, 90 West Lombard street, who
is the general agent here, stated to NeaDS repor-
ter that he had been selling the paint since 1871,
and that in not single instance had it failed to
give satisfaction to his customers He also stated
| that sample cards showing the different colors
were furnished gratis, on application to him by
mail or in person. The numerous large buildings
upon which the paint has been used are an ample
guarantee of its exceptional merit, and it will pay

A Soft Thing for the Coachman.

NeU YORK Paper.
A coachman in New York never allows horse
to into his stable until the dealer who sells
it has crossed his hand with silver. A gentleman
living in Syracuse, who had fine team on his
hands a month or SO ago, took them to New York
to find good purchaser. Being unsophisticated
in the jockeyism of the day he was surprised to
find system of extortion, as bold as blackmail,
recognized in every sale stable in the metropolis.
The team he was offering was looked at by sever
al gentlemen and their coachmen. Without ex-
ception the coachmen returned to be bribed for
giving good opinion Of the animals, tho usual
fee being 500 on every $500 of the price asked.
That is if pair of horses he sold for $500 the
coachman exacts $500 Of it as his dole. When
this Houndslow Heath manner of doing business
was resented by the owner of the horses he found
himself unable to make sale, the lackeys in liv-
cry who had previously said nothing but good
things of them discovering by closer examination
of the animals all the ills that horse flesh is heir
to. The team is now being driven in front of his
own carriage in Syracuse.

One of the best ways to reform society and place

try and improve or reform himself. The trouble

is divine architectural avenue between
upheaved mountains at its further
end is the Mission church, dedicated in
the name of Saint Louis, the earthly
king, to the King Eternal, in which the
human struggled to reach the divine.
The ruins merit their title. They stand
alone in their vastness, alone in their

deur of the old, combined with the sim
pie stateliness of the new world. Into
so much beside that is beautiful in nat
ure, the old church throws its pathOs

vital powers decline; and when the

produced to aid il in its work" So, We
may repeat, there is abundant proof in
the very pain-giviDg race Of animals,
and in the pain-giving laws of God,

closer inquiry into their uses, are among

THE BENEgOLENcE OF CREATION.


A few days ago we observed that DR..
Brandes, a physician at Hitzackes, Han
over, has written an article in a Ger
man medical paper in which he demon
strates the valuable properties of the
anachaTiS alSiaaStrunl, a water plant
which has hitherto been considered as
an 'unmitigated plague" choking up
rivers, ana altogether useless. DR..
Brandes has remarked that in the dis
trict where he lives, and where malaria
and diarrhRa yearly appeared in spo-
radio or epidemic form, these diseases
have gradually decreased since the an
dcbarjS dlSinQStrum began to infest the
neighboring rivers and marshes, and
since four years, have totally disap-
peared. The above named water plant
nourishes itself on decayed vegetable
matter, and grows with incredible rapid
ity. 1t thus destroys the germs which
produce malaria and diarrhea; aud be
sides, its presence Obliges the frequent
cleansing of standing waters, measure
beneficial to health. DR.. Brandes there
fore proposes that the experiment
should be tried of planting the dnactd-
riS alSinaStr1an in marshy districts.
This is confrmatory evidence of the
saying,
From seeming evil still educing good"
Thank God we are all learning the bet
ter way of reading the great book of
nature, with its lights and shades, its
pains and pleasures, its rewards and
punishments every part is governed
by a good Spirit. By and by the
whole of this universal frame of nature
will be read with the philOsophic per-
ception of Pauline mind, "All things
work together for good )" and with the
deyoutness and joy of a Dayid's heart,
Gods tender mercies are over all his
works" Glorious worlds of light, and
landscapes covered with beauty, and
the form and gracefulness of animal
creation, have long impressed mankind
with such thoughts. But now science
and philosophy are widening observa-
ton, and going down into the lowest
forms Of apparently hurtful vegetable
insect life, and pointing out how all are
designed in benevolence. We recently
referred Our readers to the remarks Of
a writer on the mosquito as the iudica-
tor, in certain regions, of malarial at
mosphere, warning man Of danger.
We now extract few words from an
other writer on the benevolent design
of a little skin worm he calls steotzo0B.
s'NOw, as in the majority of mankind,
and certainly in all the inhabitants of
large towns, the skin is more or less
torpid in it's functions, so the presence
| of this animal in the skin is the rule

THE CORONATION CHAIR, OR STONE OF
DESTINY.

"Unless the fates are faithless grown
And prophets voice be vain,
Whcrere is found this sacred stone,
The Scottish race shall reign"
The Stone of Destiny Called Lea Fail,
or Jacobs Stone) belonged to the Irish
nation. 1t is said to have formed the pill
low of the patriarch Jacob when he slept
on the plain of Luz on his way to Padan-
aram. Genesis xxyiii.) On this stone
the Irish kings used to be crowned in the
following manner. 1t was supposed to
send forth noise under the prince who
was to reign; SO if a prince sat on it and
it made noise under him, it was sure
sign of his accession to the Irish throne,
but if it remained silent it excluded him
from all chance OF obtaining the crown
of the Emeral Isle. Tradition says that
since the incarnation of our Saviour it
has given forth no sound. In the year
SIC Fergus, the son of Ere, carried this
stone to the Island of Iona, and from
there it was conveyed to Dunstaffnage,

had united and extended their rule over
the northern and Southern Picts. 1t re-
m ed at Scone, and was used as the
Coronation Chair of the Scottish Sover-
eigus until the time Of John Baliol, when
King Edward I. OF England QongshauRs)
carried it to Westminster Abbey in 1896
By the absence of the Coronation Chair,
crown, sceptre, and robes, the crowniDg
Of the Bruce was a lowly one. He was
t,lnifcT, lend
ing the robes, and the Abbot of Scone
chair as coronation seat, while q gold
circlet, borrowed probably from the statue
OF come saint or martyr, served for a
crown" Edward H., the weakest man
who ever held the English crown, prom
ised to return 1t to The Bruce, but a Lon

ed. The Coronation chair at the tims
consisted of a coarse wooden chair, with
a stone bottom. The following prophetic
cJuplets say
Elscfates belicd, for wherethis stoneis found,
a prince of Scotia race shall there be crown'd.
The SCOTS shall brooke that realm as native
ground,
If weirds fail not, whore'er this stauets found.
These predictions were eaid to be yeri-
fed when King James VI. of Scotland was
invested GA it as King OF Grept Britain,
France and Ireland, on the 25th of July,
1903. Rhoderic O'Flohertyin his Ogygia
says: :-"Ihere is no other mauner OF inau-
guration with some Of the northern ma
tione than unanimously TO constitute the
kings elect, lifted upon stone, with all
possible acclamations and demonstrations
of JOY, as Saxo Grammaticus and others
relate"
