BLADENsBURa, May 80.
Prince Georges farmers are seriously handi-
capped by the continued rains of this spring. The
corn crop, in many instances, is still implanted,
and it is impossible in some sections to prepare
the land. Considerable damage has also been
sustained by the wheat. much of which has
been beaten down. Truckers are also suffer-
ers. Gardens are unusually late and very poor.
The early potato crop is almost a failure.
A prominent member OF the Prince GEORGE
Calvert family, Mr.. Geo. II. Calvert for many
years resident OF Newport, R. l., is dead, aged
eighty-six years.
A three days fair and festival for the benefit
Of the new Methodist parsonage, Hyattsville, is
in progress in that village.
The damages to the new bridge over the
Eastern branch, at this point, caused by the re-
cent freshet, have been repa-ed by order Of
the county commissioners. s-i
Several Washington picnic parties were thor
oughly drenched here by to-day's rains.

Given a Chance to Reform.

young woman named Lille Hayes was in
the Police Court this morning, charged by
Policeman Ellis with having kept an unlicensed
bar at No. lila C street, in the Division" Mr.
Z. Darlington made an appeal to the court for
mercy. He said that the defendant had kept
disreputable house at the place mentioned
She determined to lead a better life and left
the house, renting the premises to another
woman. Then, thinking it was just as bad to
rent the place for immoral purposes as it was
to conduct 1t, she removed the furniture and
quit the business for good. Under these cir
cumstances he thought the ends Of justice
would not be defeated if the woman's personal
bonds were taken. Policeman Ellis was called
and he gave testimony in substantiation of Mr.
Darlington statement. Mr.. ShiIlington said
that with such state of facts existing he would
offer no objection to the court adopting Mr.
Carrlngtons suggestion. Judge Miller said
that where persons made up their mind to re-
form and showed an honest disposition to do
SO he would never put any obstacle in their
way. Her personal bonds we're then taken.

Rules for a Rainy Day,

From the Hartford Post.
II the umbrella is at the ''other end of the
line" bear it patiently. Some other umbrella
will do just as well.
Be sure and inform every one you meet that
lit rains" Otherwise they might remain in
ignorance Of the damp fact
Waterproof garments may be depended upon
TO shed water upon other folks. That seems to
be the chief object Of their existence.
Do not allow any ventilation in a horse car on
a rainy morning. 1t might exhilarate the
passengers to deeds OF violence.
Carry your umbrella very carefully, and you
can just manage to drain one quarter section Of
1T down the neck OF the person who is 80 I'M
fortunate as to be ahead Of you. He will ap-
preciate this.

Fiction as a History Of Society.

ID. W. MaD1e IN Scr1bner.
From the days of Fielding to those of Chas.
Reade English life has never missed faithful
record at the hands of those who have compre-
hended it because they have pierced it with
their sympathetic insight. Every great polit-
ical movement like Chartism, every striking
political incident like the Gordon riots. every
form of discomfort and agitation among the
lower classes has had MT and often lasting rec
ord. While George Eliot has set forth the tre-
mendous force of inheritance and environment
the vigorous and often coarse brush of Dickens
has painted, on great canvas, the homely life
of the common people; and the inimitable art
of Thackeray, equally akin to irony and tears
has made us permanent possessors Of the
social habit and character of the last CEN
fury. The virile genius of Bj0rnson, in
the latest work of his hand, Flags in
the City and the Harbor," deals with some of
the most obscure problems of social and family
life; Turguenief has made Russian character
under the pressure of absolutism compre hensi-
BILE to US; Tolstoi commands the attention of q
new constituency of readers, deeply moved by
the marvellous fidelity with which he reproduces
phases of experience, hidden processes of
character, at once remote and familiar; while
of lola it must be confessed, whatever we think
of his themes and his art that he at least as
sumes to lay bare the very heart Of certain
social conditions in France Fiction lie un-
uuestionably the most attractive and influential
form through which men Of literary genius ex-
press themselves to-day, and no fact of social
significance, no human relationship no class
limitation, capacity or condition, will escape
the instructive search for life which possesses
this generation That which the student of
social questions seeks as matter of science the
novelist seeks as matter Of art.
At Foxborough, Mass, the body of Frank

He Wanted to be Investigated.

The detectives were sitting in Inspector
swindell's room, at police headquarters, this
morning, waiting to hand in their daily reports.
when an intoxicated man entered and called
Detective Horne aside and told him in a conf
dental manner that Mrs Getz had lost $40.
.'Now," said the visitor, I'm the only one who
has key TO the box from where the money
was taken and she suspects me- / want you to
arrest me and investigate the matter"
Have you got the money!" asked Detective
Horne. 'If you have. you can just hand il
over"
NO" responded the man who wanted to be
arrested, drawing his pocketbook from its re-
ceptacle in his trousers, Il didn't take the
money. If you don't believe me. you can
search me-" He opened the pocketbook and
counted out cents. The officer refused to ar
rest the visitor, and he left the office.

Doing Cp Curtains

A more economical method Of doing ~
curtains than TO send them TO a laundryis de-
scribed by good housekeeper as follows:
Dust them thoroughly, and if there are any
breaks or tears In them, mend them before
washing Do not wiring them, but pass
through clothes wringer, keeping them
straight; boil a few minutes, then rinse in
clear water. Blue the starch trihe, but do
not make them too stiff; then lay sheets on
the floor and spread the curtains on them,
taking care to stretch the work straight and
true Pin the edgeson the sheet and let them
lie till perfectly dry, and you viii be con-
WINGED that home laundrying of nice curtains
is far preferable to hiring them done up, as
they will last longer and look nicer than
when press,d by hot irons
