In Baltimore one OF The most rapidly grow
ing enterprises OF the last few years and one
Installment Business, Its great advantage
and benefits especially to the medium and
poorer classes, cannot be ovcrestlmated- For
Inerlv people in ordfnarv circumstances were
compelled 10 do withouta great many neces-
sary comforts OF life; that is. their houses
were scautiiy furnished. and only becsuse
they could not at any time raise sufficient
cash money 10 properly furnish them. What
little furniture they had. was of the poorest
and cheapest class and never made respecta-
BILE appearance, or gave any satisfaction. Now
on the Insfailment Plan any honest person. no
matter what his or her circumstances are. no
in the way OF furniture. Carpets. Stoves, Re-
frigerators. Crockery. Baby Carriages. parlor
Organs. ETC.. in fact any or everything neces-
sary TO furnish the home complete from cellar
to attic.-they can get all these by simply pay
ing small amount cash down and the balance
on small monthly payments. which are made
TO suit their circumstances and are always
made so low that the money will hardly DO
missed. tn S plan has bec0me so popular in
ali the larger cites that over two-thirls OF all
the people now purchase heir household goods
that way:-in fact ali excepting the extreme
wealthy classes. Now the People or Annapo-
lis never have had this opportunity offered
them. SO the Peoples Lnstaliment company.
1t9 aud 1t91 n. Howard Street. between
Fayette and Lexington Sts., Baltimore. the
largest and best conducted and most reliable
instalment house in BALTIMORE, have DECIDED
to allow any resident OF Annapolis or fmme-
date vicinity. the Same adv antage as the PEG,
pie OF Baltimore now enj0y;-that is to sell
them anything which they may desire TO have
on the lnsta ment Plant at lowest cash prices
and make terms of payments low enough TO
suit any ones convenience. This House not
only sells everything in the way of Furniture.
Carpets, Stoves. Refrigerators. Baby carriages
Crockery. Cutlery, House Furnishing Goods.
Parlor organs. etc. but also carries COM
plete stock OF Silks, VelvetS, Foreign and Do-
nestle Dress Goods, Ladies' Cloaks and Wraps,
Millinery, Gents, Youths Boys and Childrens'
Clothing, -hoeS, Hats. Watches, Jewelry. etc.
in fact they are general ouJfitters and are the
only House in Baltimore where wearing APP
parel as well as furniture too, can be bought
on the Installment Plan at Cash Prices and
very easy terms OF payment. This House will
always be glad TO have the people of Annapo-
lis call on them whether they intend purchas-
ing or not, will be glad to have them look
through their immense Warehouse and get
full particulars regarding terms, etc. Amy
information desired by mail will be promptly
furnished. FI235

THE RAG CARPET.

If YOU can not afford Administer carpets and
Persian rugs, have rag carpet. The only thing
that kills rag carpet is cheapness. If 1t cost
So a yard, it would be on the floor of every
bond-holder in the land. There is something
about rag carpet that suggests the idea OF
home 1t is not so cold and formal to the eye
as the handsomely fiowered Brussels that you
see III a parlOr. As soon as you put your foot
on rag carpet you feel on good terms with
the household, and you naturally expect to
hear kettle sing, and see some friendly cat
arch her back and rub socially against your
shins And the man that owns a rag carpet
made of article collected about the house can
sit right down with the carpet and talk to it
1t is full of the pleasanteSt "reminiscences. He
can see III the carpet pieces Of all the clothing
he has worn during the past ten or twenty
years. All his cast off wearing apparel is i'll
that carpet, except what is in the crazy quilt
Overcoats, suspenders, felt hats, neck ties,
gloves and overshOes glow before him in
red, white and blue sea that would set a statue
peddler crazy with delight
The past comes back to him through the
medium of his metamorphosed clothing
Every strip has some association connected
with it. There is the soft hat that his hair used
to grow through the top of when he was boy.
There is the Overcoat that never had whole
lining in the sleeve; there are the tops of
the slippers his best girl worked for him
gold daisies on a red ground; and there
are his wedding suspenders; they saw much
more active service than General Grant. How
many times had he made buttOn-hole in
them with his knife And when one got too
weak to be worn longer, he kept himself to-
gether with a solitaire, and converted the other
into a razor strop. And when they had both
served two or three terms as razor strOpS, they
were put into the rag carpet, where they loom
up as two white doves against the background
of black velvet, and after all the other pieces
in the carpet have lost their color and charac-
ter, the suspenders will be as tough as railroad
sponge cake and ready to be cut into gate

HABITS OF THE BLACKsNAKE.

Blacksnakes always feed on live prey and
possess power over their prey that is truly
wonderful, and l think that birds, old and
young are their main dependence for food
old birds are captured by them with ease. l
captured snake nearly 5-feet long that had a
fu1l-fedged song sparrow in its body about six
inches from its head. They feed on any kind
of live prey within their capacity, and have
been caught with young rabbit in their body.
They also are successful hunters of birds nests
for the young and will climb trees in their
search. 1 was once near an orchard when L
heard robins making great outcry, evidently
disturbed by something. | went to see the
cause and discovered large blacksnake at
their nest in an apple tree about 15 #. in diam
eter and or 8 ft. up to the branches: The
branch on which the nest was, stood off at an
angle of about forty-tive degrees When the
snake saw me he glided down on the topside
of the branch, and when he reached the trunk
he slid off and dropped to the ground. In his
mouth was a young bird partly swallowed
which proved such a clog to him that he
could not run rapidly in the grass and captur-
ed him.
MANY stories are told of their chasing people.
/ have seen persons who claim to have been
chased by them, and sometimes it was by a
racer blacksnake with white ring around
its neck never saw a snake of that descrip-
ton, and know of no authority claiming the
existence of such snake. blacksnake hye
or six feet long can outrun man. Their
speed have repeatedly witnessed, when they
have escaped from me. Now, if they chase
people, why do they not catch them? and if
they should catch person, what could they
do with him? Certainly they could not use
them as food. 1t is singular that SO many per-
sons have been chased by them and yet no
instance has been reported where they have
been caught.
The racer, described as blacksnake with a
white ring around its neck, exists only, in the
in,aoinati0n of frightened peOple 1t has no
place in natural history and yet have known
several persons who claim to have been chased
by them, and were just as sure of the white
ring as they were of being chased.

A QUEER DUTCH TOWN.

There is a village about three miles from
Amsterdam, in Holland, called Bruck, that
has more peculiarities than anything you ever
heard of. The village was built in the seven
teenth century by number of retired Indian
merchants who after having amassed enor-
nous fortunes in the tropics, returned to their
fatherland to end their days. Every inhabi-
tant had to be at least worth more than a mil
lion of gulden-about 500, 900. The village
was surrounded by high wall, and only in
habitants were allowed to enter the gate
Even the gatekeeper had been a millionaire
once but having lost his fortune he was allow
ed the privilege of living with these 'nabobsp'
as their servant. The streets in Bruck were all
paved with Italian marble, and every house
was the most perfect embodiment of magnifi-
ence, luxury, grandeur, and above all painful
cleanliness. The streets were scrubbed every
day and the people walked about only in silken
shoes. 1t is said that Napoleon l. when he
visited Bruck, in the first decade of this centu-
ry, was requested to don pair of silken shoes
before he entered the village. The inhabitants
INDUCED in a number ofvery singular customs
For instance they had two special doors to their
houses that were only used on very special Oc
casions. The one was only used when men,
Der of the family got married, and the newly
welded pair would enter through this portal,
after which it was closed again until similar
festivity took place in the family. The other
door was only opened when one of the family
was dead and had to be buried. Then the cof-
fin was taken through this door to the ceme-
terry, and the door closed again until the next
funeral. Another institution of Bruck was
the ''pronk- -kamer," or treasure chamber"
in which the people kept all kinds of relics
Jewels, heirlooms and other things connected
with the history of the family.
