Too MANY Orders.

In letter published in The London
Times on the subject of foreign orders
and decorations, "Medico" asks why the
royal family is perpetually breaking the
law in this matter. Nothing can be
more strict than the application of the
prohibition to distinguished servants of
the British crown, who have honorably
earned this slight acknowledgment on
the part of foreign potentates. And yet
the prince of Wales, who has never
heard a gun fred in warfare, who has
never saved life, who has never done
one single thing to qualify himself in
any way for the distinction thrust upon
him, is permitted to cover his manly
bosom with eagles and lions and lambs,
with crosses and stars, until an un-
knowing spectator would take him
either for Marshal Moltke or the ring.

The Music of the Gable.

I walked down Tenth avenue from
High bridge late the other night. 1t was
a warm, moist evening, with great
quiet brooding over the sparsly-settled
streets. The cable road cars came and
went by almost without q sound, and
were quite startling in the suddenness
and silence of their progress. But as l
walked was accompanied by o constant
Ginning and monotonous, bnt by no
means unpleasant, melody. 1t was the
singing of the cable in the groove under
the road bed. The friction of the steel
wire over the clotted wheels kept up a
perpetual murmur in which notes of mu-
sic could be clearly distinguished, and
now and then would come sharp chime,
as light blow struck on ringing glass.
At places where there were no houses,
and the natural silence was profound,
the effect of this rivulet of melody run
ning in its hidden current under my feet
was indescribably weird and charming.
One of the claims the cable companies
make in favor of their cars is their noise
lessness. 1t seems to me that the noise
they make, or are the cause of, is the
prettiest if not the most useful thing
about them.-Alfred Trumble in New
York News.

Happy Homes Which They Found In
Louisiana-How They Farm.

Happy Homes which They Found in
Loulsiana-How They Farm.
"I've been down in Louisiana for
week with the Arcadians-people Long
fellow talks about in his 'Evangeline,'
you know; Gains the darixies down
there call Them" said Northwestern
railway conductor recently.
@Its like going back to our great
grandfather's days to GO among them.
They are the simplest and happiest peo-
pie l ever saw, and their country is the
most beautiful in the world. 1t was
pretty hard when they were driven from
their first settlement, but they have
cause to rejoice at it. Why, they don't
have to work. They just tickle that
magnificent soil with the hoofs of their
cattle and it laughs a harvest. Old Basil,
the blacksmith, had a level head, tell
you. They do not even have to pillow for
their rice crop. When it stops raining
in the spring they ride out on horseback
to their rice fields, which are then ponds,
and SOW the seed-rice broadcast over the
water, after which they have nothing
more to do till harvest. II the season is
dry the seed is scattered over the ground
and tramped into the soil by the cattle,
which are driven over the field for the
purpose.
July is the month of harvest, and in
it the happy Calm cuts his rice with
the primitive sickle and hauls the
sheaves home in clumsy cart, made
entirely of wood and drawn by oxen,
which are fastened to the tongue by
loops passed over their horns. When
the harvest is over the grain is trodden
out by oxen, as in the days of the patri
archs. 1t is then ground in a little
wooden mill and winnowed in sieve
when it is ready to be made into bread
See this shirt? It's real homespun-
made by CAIN housewife out of cot
ton grown in her garden.

ers. They have funny way, too, Of
selling their crop. A buyer comes ou
when the trees are in bloom, and, afte
half dozen or more whiting matches
q bargain is struck for the prospective
crop, the Calm always demanding ant
getting half the agreed price in advance
When this business is settled there il
nothing more to do but to wait for natur
to prepare another harvest. Chicago

"CALLED BACK "-Rev. r. IL. Pitt,
the popular young pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, at this place, has received
call from his ''home" congregation
at Richmond, Va, and has accepted
the same. His resignation was very re-
luctantly accepted last Sunday. The call
is the second Rev. Mr.. Pitt has receiv-
ed from his former congregation and is
no doubt gratifying to him, showing as
1t does, the place he holds in the affec-
tions of his home people. We will re-
greet exceedingly to lose Mr.. Pitt He
has become so favorably known in this
city, that he will be greatly missed, and
by none more so than by his congrega-
ton, especially the young men, for
whom he has labored earnestly, and by
whom he is much esteemed. We wish
him large need of success and useful
ness in his change.

THE FIREMENs' FAIR.-The Fire
men closed their fair on last Saturday
night, on which occasion the hall was
crowded with people. We are inform
ed that the gross receipts are $775.50
and the net receipts, $3.50 so. The Fire
Companies from neighboring cities were
very kind, presenting our company with
many handsome presents. The Ju
niors, of Frederick City, Md, present.
ed them with a silver pitcher, the In
dependents, of Charlestown, gave a
silver fruit stand and the Cumberland
Valley Hose Company, of Chambers
burg, handsome silver pitcher. Our
citizens were also very generous, giving
such handsome presents as the follow
ing: w. l.. Jones, handsome castor /;
Sisters OF Charity, pickle castor III. s..
Hyde, pretty eight day clock; Agrieul-
turai Association, nice cake; w. W..
Crump, ivory handle carver and fork ;
81. l.. Doll & Co buggy robe; Gettin-
ger Il Hoke, pair gum boots; Emmert
q Fiery, handsome Brussels rug; and
numerous small contributions, many
of which we're the generous offerings of
our liberal country folks. jolly John
Grozinger held ticket 1706 which drew
the beautiful Rockford gold watch.
Mayor Lambert bore off the fine silver
castor presented by the Frederick Com
pany; Miss Lyle, the fruit stand given
by the Independents; John McCune,
the large chair; Mrs. Ed Mathews, the
pickle castor; Miss Carrie Roberts, the
castor, and Mrs. Ben Reynolds, silver
cake basket.
The result of the fair is very crafty
ing to the firemen, and is an evidence
of the regards of our people for their
noble work in the past. Everybody,
realizing that "the boys" now have a
snug nest egg to rely on, feel better sat
i-ied and earnestly wish them comfort
and progress.
