Blood Upon the Moon.

There are too many newspapers
in Elkton and war has broken out
among them since the election with
the violence Of nor easter. A sniff
of the flesh pots set the animiles
roaring and pretty soon the whole
menagerie was in commotion. Last
Saturday a couple of the royal beasts
got out Of their cages and met in the
street when chew 'em up battle en-.
sued of which a long, detail. ed account
appeared in Mondays american.
There is blood on the moon and the
end is not yet, for the savory smell
from the public flesh pots grows more
appetizing as the ides of March draw
near. The ides of November that
are SO celebrated in political story
are nowhere beside the sides" of
March. One brings the peans of
victory, mere idle wind, sound and
fury signifying nothing. but the lat
ter approaches with platters of
smoking viands, the sayor whereof
assendeth to heaven filling the nos
trils of the faithful and hungry who
have girded up their lions and strove
against the enemy. Too many
newspapers in Elkton for the peace
of the community and cause of good
government. The County Commls.
sioners ought to see to it. The new
road law gives them jurisdiction over
pretty much every thing in the
county, and special clause EN-
braces newspapers in their scope,
providing however, that said papers
are old party papers: 'none others
need apply" But as we have re-
marked there is blood upon the
moon still. and look out for storms
about these times as tie almanacs
say.

Thanksgiving.

Some of our exchanges have very
handsome and appropriated holiday
numbers for thanksgiving week.
Among the h andsomest is the Prai-
RE Farmer, which gives sketch of
the early Thanksgiving in America.
The first American Thanksgiving
dates back to 1921, when the Pig
rim Fathers, after ten weary months
of sickness and suffering, gathered
in twenty acres of corn, and six OF
barley and peas. Having enough to
keep them in food for the coming
year, they returned their devout
thanks to God, the Oliver, and set
about preparing for their Thanksgiv.

hunters brought back. the Pilgrim

ing feast, at which Massasoit and
ninety OF his warriors were present.
In 1923 there was such a drouth that
famine stared the coloniNts in the
face, and true to their religious in
stincts, the Pilgrims held day of
fasting and prayer. For nine hours
they prayed without ceasing. AT
evening the sun set in clouds, o
breeze of wind sprapg up, and ere
morning there was an abundance of
rain. The parched and dropping
crops revived, there was a bountiful
harvest, and Governor Bradford
ordered the celebration of a day OF
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day was a national
institution during the Revolution.
After the general thanksgiving for
peace in 1884, the custom lapsed for
five years, but in 1889. on request of
Congress, President Washington
issued q proclamation recommending
the observance of Thursday, the 26th
day of November, as a day OF
Thanksgiving, "to be devoted by the
people of these States to the service
of that great and glorious Being,
who is the benefcent Author OF all

California's Raisin Industry

In all the wonders of California.
says the San Francisco Journal of
Commerce, there has been nothing
more wonderful than the development
of the raisin industry. In 1873 only
six thousand boxes were made. The
state had first to learn how to make
raisins and then to persuade people to
buy them. 1880 the production had
reached seventy five thousand boxes.
1t steadily increased to hundred and
seventy thousand in 1884, and in the
following year jumped to half million.
The increase has since continued and
bids fair to continue. Seven hundred
thousand boxes we're turned out in
1873 !, eight hundred thousand in 1887,
while it is estimated that the output for
this year will exceed million. .'There
is hardly locality in the state" says
the Journal, "where the raisin grape
does not flourish, and in few years
we will be able to produce raisins emo.

States"

WEST VIRGINIA.


"There is roll of honor which would dc
credit to crusade! Every battle was holly
fought, and every one would have been LOST
to us but for the open, manly answer that
we gave to Misrepresentation end abuse
And the same policy that saved the day
for us in all the preceding contests, was
equally potent, equally indispensable in this
last one. West Virginia was saved from

manhood and to popular intelligence

The joint debate was always between

How They Crow!

At the presidential election a vote was
taken in West Virginia for and against a
constitutional amendment prohibiting the
liquor traffic in that State. The result of
the vote was majority of40, OCO against the
prohibatory amendment. Over this victory
of the liquor party their leading paper
raises the following shout of jubilee:

"This result is not surprise to our read

serves as closing scene in little political

to our own trade. When, in the winter of
1856, the Legislatures of FIVE States
almost simultaneously took the necessary
steps to submit Prohibitory Constitutional
Amendments to the people, it looked as if
Prohibition was destined to sweep the
country. 1t was indeed a time of grave

The Banjo's Successor.

Women are worse than the ancient Atheni-
ans IN their love for a now thing What they
love and swear by one season they viii aban-
don the next and nothing that is old, from
bonnet to carpet, finds favor IN their eyes
There IS the banjo. Three years ago every
other girl in the country had one strung by a
yellow ribbon about her neck and was thrum-
ming the strings and singing darby melo-
dies with all her might and main. Most OF
them never learned to play at all; they took
a lesson or two, learned the scales and frag-
ments of about three tunes, and then it Ian
gl1ished until they would read in the London
letters of how Notica Tznaga saved a dull
evening and delighted the Prince of Wales
by throwing herself INTO the breach with her
banjo, and then the young women took to
earnest study again for about three weeks.
But it has gons to Hopeless limbo at last, be-
yond revival It's successor is a mandolin.
No self respecting girl is without one.
With blue or copper colored ribbons, instead
of yellow, it IS a dainty thing, all she'll and
pearl She studies assiduously under the
tuteIage Of the picturesque, dark eyed Italian,
Signor Riccs, and learns from him how to
grasp and manipulate the little oval bit OF
tortoise shell, with which the strings are
swept To be thoroughly good form, the
young woman musical has TO arm herself
with vinuccia, which means an instrument
manufactured by the mandolin maker In
ordinary to her ma esty the queen of Italy,
and these toys come high, some of the more
luxurious ones costing several hundred dol
lars. The mandolin IS melon shaped and has
eight strings, or rather four couples, and
tuned in fifths. The music is made by sweep
ing these strings with bit Of shell held
between the thumb and two first fingers OF
the right hand 1t requires an exquisite
lightness and smoothness Of touch, and a
firm, supple wrist 10 brush the strings SO that
the music will be both soft and even, but
when it is well played the music is charming,
and It IS an instrument with far greater
capacity than the banjo
Mrs Willie Astor Is q good performer on
the mandolin, having learned it while her
husband was minister in Rome. The queen
Of Italy, too, is an expert and has 8 suberb
vinuccia bearing her monogram and a crown
in diamonds With the reign Of the nando-
lin has come a fancy for folk songs and music,
and the airs the Neapolitan fishers and Vene-
tan goudoiiers are fond Of are heard in New
York drawing rooms, or the wild, half bar
barre themes Of the Spanish gypsies.-New

DISPOSITION OF THE DEAD.
Graveyards as Source of Perpstua
Pollution-DanGers of composition.

Gravevards Source of Perpetual
PollutiOn-Dangers of Decomposition.
The subject Of how to dispose of the dead
so that their bodies may not injure the living
received great attention ct the recent meet
ing OF the British Medical association. Pro
fessor Lowndes, of Liverpool, read an inter
esting paper on graveyaris as sources of per
petual pollution. He stated that he had
witnessed the removal OF portions OF four
cemeteries and the whole of fifth near tie
city where be lived, and that the sights pre-
sented were enough TO convince any person
that a reform in the matter of dispOsing Of
the dead should be urged By all physicians.
In opening graves that we're closed forty
years ago a stencil arose that drove away tle
workmen and polluted the air for q hong dis
lance from the cemetery. He stated that the
average British churchyards were masses of
boxed up putridity, and that the dead in
them could not be regarded as buried at all "
They had been placed in metal Baskets" or
in collins of oak, mahogany, rosewood or
woods that would remain sound under favor
able conditions for many years. During all
this time noxious gases were escaping 70
poison the air, while liquids were running out
that were liable TO find their way into
streams and wells.
Ordinarily the most dangerous graveyards
were those in which the rich were buried In
these bodies were deposited incased in metal
or nearly imperishable wood which pro-
tracted the operation Of dec0mposirion
Generally the coffin was placed in a strong
box, and not infrequently the latter was de-
posted in a vault Of masonry. The grave
itself was filed with earth that would not

but the means OF protracting the period Of
decomposition and decay. He favored Gre
nation, as nearly every person did who had
given attention TO the different methods Of
disposing of the dead He did not believe,
however, that the time would soon come
when the authorities Of the Roman Catholic
church would tolerate cremation, ard he
failed to find many ministers Of the Estab-
tablished church that favored il. As such
was the case, be thought it best TO invite the
co operation Of clergyTnen in inaugurating
reform in the matter Of burying the dead
Ministers were presumed TO be interested in
the welfare Of the living, and were persons Of
intelligence and considerable scientific knGwl-
edge Ii their attention was called to the
matter in a proper way they could be made
to see the propriety Of burying the dead in
such a manner that they would not be an Of
tense and a source Of injury to the living An
effort should be made TO secure the substitg,-
ton OF the wicker basket or a coffin Of CON-
pressed paper pulp for those now made of
enduring wood, metal, stone OF cement At
