The Camp at Falling Waters.


The Forest and Stream Club pitched its tents at
Falling Waters Potomac river, West Virginia, on
Saturday, August Is, but the camp was not formally
opened until Monday following. The heavy ram
on Tuesday caused the river to rise about six feet
which made it so very muddy that the customary
sport of bass fishing had to be dispensed with during
the first week and the campers had to be satlshed
with catfish and cells, a number Of which were cap
tured by Chas. Z. Fink, j. O. II. smith, ). ). Reese
and DR.. Baughman. Our friend Skunk, imagining
that he had taken whale, in the consequent ex-
element plunged overheard, giving himself an &C
cidental bath, though not entirely undressing.
About twenty members of the club and visiting
friends enjoyed the camp during the first week, all
of whom testify to the excellent meals served IN
good taste by the cooks Sam and Scott. We will not
undertake to name the various amusements and
pleasantries which make camp of this kind so IN
viting and enjoyable; only those present can 1ully
appreciate its many attractions. Having arranged
everything necessary for comfort and convenience,
and free from all and restraint each one strives
to have good time and succeeds. Or course many
good jokes are INDUCED in The one this year caus;
ing most merriment was at the expense OF our friend
Smith, who seemed to enjoy the hne carrlcature OF
himself the ingenious work of Theodore and Isaac
as much as anyone else, but whether the smith
pitching quoits or the vegetable Smith standing
sentinel TO the camp was the genuine article, may
still be in dispute by several of the boys whose vision
seemed slightly clouded. As a general thing the
married members are the jolliest and seem 10 vie

Texas Fever at sam Greek and vicinity.

About three weeks ago Darius Devilbss, a
drover residing in KNOXVILLE, Frederick
county, went to Chicago and purchased ninety
eight head of cattle. On his way hons he
sold twenty-six in Baltimore and the balance
he sold in lots as stock cattle to the farmers
in this as well as in his own neighborhood.
The latter part of last week Isaiah Nusbaum
lost two of the twelve cattle that he purchased,
the remainder being sick at the time. Later
it was learned that a number of other cattle
of the same herd were sick and that the farm
ers generally were unable to determine what
the disease was, but thought it might be
pleuro- pneumonia. On Monday, Mr.. Devil
bliss sent for Mr. Dyer, a State veterinary
surgeon of Baltimore, and after examining
Mr.. Nusbaum's cattle he pronounced the dis
ease Texas fever. Quite number have died
since The following are the names of the
farmers who purchased cattle, and the num-
Der lost By each ag far as can be ascertained
at this writing Isaiah Muspaum, 10; Samuel
Keefer, Z; Cephas Thomas, 8; David pudder-

Engel, Howard Devilbiss and John Roop, one

they will all die as they are all more or less
sick. Great fear is entertained by the farm.

thus destroy the large number of milk COWS
that is usually kept by the dairymen in this

Legends of Sernent Women.

In the early Egyptian hieroglyphics
we find representations of snakes bodies
crowned by female heads; and, indeed,
this class of serpents seems to have
proved equally attractive to all nations,
an evidence of which subtle fascination
is that the legends of the ''snake mai
dens" still live in the nursery tales of to-
day, perenniallv young and beautiful as
though their birth were not wrapped in
the mysteries of prehistoric age. OF
this family came Larnia, the witch of
Crete whose woman's heart rendered
her doubly sensitive to the degradation
she suffered during her incarceration
within her scaly prison; nor did she, on
renewing the pristine glory of her hui
man form. completely lose the essence of
her serpent nature. Harmonic, the wife
of Cadmus, to be a companion in her
husbands misfortunes, also took upon
herself the serpent's shape, but being
devoid of evil intent, never, it is said,
summed, but rather sought mans pres
ence.
Perhaps it is but another form of the
classic Harmonic which has become ia

HOW TO SWEEP AND DUST.

1t is well known that dust is an alb
independent of these qualities, it is inju-
rious in itself to even the most healthy
lungs, being composed of minute parti-
Giles resulting from the wear and tear of
many fabrics, animal, vegetable and min
eral. Dust thus constituted cannot but
be most dangerous company in room,
as, if allowed to remain, it becomes poi
sonous, and when it is disturbed and en-
tiers the lungs it has not only an irritat-
ing effect, but becoming moist. gives out
its noXious odors within the body. 1t
can be readily seen, then, how important
are the operations of sweeping and dust
ing, especially the latter.
All heavy articles of furniture should
be provided with strong, easy-rolling
casters, and on sweeping day the first
step will be to roll these pieces out of the
room or into the middle of the floor
then sprinkle the carpet with dampened
Indian meal, salt or moist tea leaves.
FThen remove all loose articles. such as
curtains. garments, sewing materials, or
naments, etc, to another room, or else
place on the table, sofa or bed, and cover
securely with sheet. After this, create
a draught of air by opening doors and
Windows. a windy day is best for thor
|ough sweeping and busting, for then "A
strong draught can be attained that will
|carry before it the fine, injurious dust
that otherwise would settle on the walls,
pictures, mirrors and curtains. To sweep
with the windows closed is merely to re-
move the heavier portions of dust, and to
stir up and distribute the lighter portions
on the articles mentioned, until surpris-
ing accumulations occur, which are not
detected until the autumn or spring clean
ings. The room being prepared, the OPP
Grafton of sweeping may begin. A thick,
not too heavy broom, slightly dampened,
should be used, and the movement should
be regular and not too rapid. A long,
firm stroke is preferable to a short, quick
one, which causes the dust to fly. The
sweeping should, of course, be in the di-
rection of the draught, and especial at
tention should be given to the corners
all accumulations being carefully brushed
out. The result of the first sweeping
should be gathered up in a dustpan anc

The Eskimo's Dogs.

Next to his children, the most import

are his dogs they being essential to his
hunting in summer and his travelling in

day, did so, very effectually, by devour-
