The Maryland Sunday School Union.
This old and useful institution has
issued its annual appeal - Maryland
Sunday Schools for CO. ihutions in
aid Of its work. Thoseswho notice
the elevating influence OF Sunday
Schools upon communities land there
are very few at this day who do not)
cannot well refuse, at least, their in
terest in al iastitutionthat has done
and is doing so much to advance the
Sunday school cause Ia our State. The
institutes and conventions held by the
Unionare very benfcial to every religi
GUS interest but this is but small part
ofthe Unions work, which is, through
the labors of missionaries, to plant
and foster Sunday Schools in less
favored communities where poverty,
illiteracy or religious indif.
ference render missionary zeal and
sacrifice indispensable. Every school
in our county can give something,
and we hope there will be prompt
and liberal response to their appeals.
At least don't fail to recognize the
statistical blank accompanying the
appeal, for the Union is the only To-
stitution in the State that keep Q
record of all the schools, and upon it
the government, as well as the in-
ternational committee, relies for statis-
tical information.

BR00KLvN, ANNE ARUNDEL CoUN.
TT, Aug. IS, l8S6.-The Baltimore
and Cedar Hill passenger railroad,
that was begun on The Slst Of MAY
last, bas made slow progress. There
appears TO be lack of capital or some
other hitch in the enterprise, as the
men that were engaged on the road
quite work about two weeks ago, and
there has been nothing done since.
The NJ e. Sunday school Of this
place held their annual pic-nic 10 the
Brooklyn Park to-day which was
largely attended an and enjoyable time
spent
Farmers 10 this section are sending
large quantities of tomatoes. cante-
loupes and cabbages, to the Baltimore
market, and are realizing fair prices.
Both the canteloupc and tomato crop
are very poor this season.
A number of farmers in this section
have been visited by depredators up
on their hen roosts. Judge Rider
has lost near one hundred fine chick
ems, and Mrs. Bollman has also suf-
fered in tho same way, besides Der
trees have been robbed of peaches,
pears and grapes. Messrs. Bertch
and Crogan aud others have also
suffered 10 the same way.
Miss Annie Lamden, of South
Charles street, Baltimore, who has
been visiting Miss Nora Crogan. re-
turned home yesterday, Miss Nora
accompanying her.
Brooklyn is becoming quite sum-
mer resort for Baltimoreans, who
came here to enjoy the fishing and
boating. DICK.

the Maryland Steamboat Company.
broke her crosshead yesterday after
noon about o'clock of Greenburv
Point, shortly after coming ont of An
napolis on the home trip. The steam
or Kent, of the same company, was
about hundred yards ahead of the
Peniz. She at once threw out tow

night. There were q number of ladies
and children aboard the Pentz, but
the officers explained to them that
there was no danger. There was no
excitement among them, though con-
siderable anxiety was felt BY their
friends and relatives at home. The
Pentz will be laid up several days.

Getting Drinks on his Watch.


A man named Bernard Miller,
claiming to hail from Anne Arundel
county was trying to negotiate
loan yesterday Of $40 to obtain his
watch, which was held rs collateral
for drinks to that amount by an East
Baltimore saloon-keeper. Miller
bad the saloon keeper arrested, and
charged him with taking the watch
from him. He acknowledged hav-
ing obtained the drinks without hav-
ing the money to pay for them. The
saloon keeper swore that Miller han.
ded him the watch as security, aud
Officer Rau testified that Miller told
him he had given the watch to the
saloon keeper. Squire Sanner dis
missed the case, and Miller became
so vehement In his denunciations of
Baltimore justice that he bad to be
gently but firmly led to the street by
an officer.

A correspondent of the Breeder's

four of sugar, one of sour cream, one
half cup of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls

If you want to get the goodwill of
your hens, says the Prairie Farmer. feed
them dry, hot corn at night. Heat the
corn in an iron pan or kettle in the
oven. and stir occasionally. No matter
if it gets little charred. It won't do
any harm to give warm water, either.
Stuffed Potatoes: Mince some cold
meat very fine and season it to taste.
Choose large potatoes of one size and
peel and core them, taking care not to
core them through. Fill them with the
minced meat and put them in dish to
bake, with cupful of water and little
butter or nice beef dripping. If the po-
tatoes are large they will require an
hour to bake; if small, half that time
will be sufficient.-Boston Globe.
Mr.. J. J. H. Gregory makes the
statement that the corn plant has the
air. We have, therefore, bat to supply

three years the experiment has been
tried upon the poor-soil plots of the
Rural grounds. No matter how large
the quantity of potash and phosphoric
acid used, we can not get a good crop
without nitrogen.-Ru Ne,O Yorker.
More than half of the diseases so
prevalent among farm horses are due
to improper attention to the common
laws of sanitation, and farmers would
save many times the expense of
properly constructed stable were they
to try the experiment. The animals
that are so closely connected with the
successful working of the farm as
suredly deserve better care and atten-
ton than is usually given them. The
humane man will therefore see that they
have light, roomy, well-ventilated
stables. where disease will be far less
likely to enter.-N. 7. Telegram.
Pearl wheat: This is good as q vari-
alton on the oatmeal porridge for
breakfast. Take half 1 cup of pearl
wheat, two cups of milk and four cups

salt Let the milk and water boil up in
saucepan on the stove, then stir in
the wheat and salt. Put the wheat in
the inside kettle of steamer to cook,
pouring boiling water in the outside
kettle around it. Boil two hours. Let
the steamer stand all night on the back
of the range, and in the morning beat
it up gradually just before serving.
