Subdued by Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
We read in one of the Baltimore daillcs
that the people living in the neightnrhood
of Frederick Junction (B. Il 0. X. ~ have
promised to raise several hundred dollars to
defray the expenses of the Encampment,
should the M. N. G. agree to come to that
pMnt. That is enterprise for you, but we
would consider it a downright piece of I'M
position for the State Of Maryland to accept
it. There is nothing wrong in community
arranging for the rental or damages to prop
erty occupied by the encampment to be paid,
but no such sum would likely accrue from
these sources and we do not think the COM
mittee will be influenced against sites far
bette. adapted to the purpose, simply to
save the State treasury a few dollars, that
the people of the State have by law provided
for the paying. If some other point than
Frederick Junction offers better facilities i'll
way of water, shade, drill grounds other
conveniences of camp life, the several hun
dred dollars offered by the citizens should
not determine the matter.
THE M. NJ. N Con Thursday last
special train arrived here at $50 a. m., con-
veying the committee of the Mary land Ma
tionai Guard and Mr. Il. II. Griswod of the
w. NJ. r. r. Co. The object of the trip was
as has been heretofore stated, the selection
of site for the summer encampment of the
militia.
Gen. Stewart Brown, Inspector General
Saunders, Quarermaster General Hall, Sur
econ General Johnson and Col. Frank Bruno
composed the committee. They were met
at the train by several Of our citizens with
conveyances and were driven to the several
points that were thought to be eligible. The
Cold Spring site seems to have impressed
them fayorablY, the strong flow OF pure cold
water. Owens Creek for bathing purposes,
the shade of the mountain forests and the
nearness of the railroad renders the location
all that is desired Several large fields be-
longing to Mr.. John Rouzer meet the re-

less resources and energy OF the railroad
company will lift the water from Cold spr ng
or deliver it from their mountain reservoir
to the parade grounds, as water is ncedcd
there as we'll as IN the Camp.
All these things are known to the commit
tee and as well the resources of our town IN
such matters as drugstores, bakers, butchers
etc, and we have some reason to believe
that we stand little more than equal III
chances with others to be chosen as the point
for this summers encampmeDt. Should We
be so fortunate as to secure the encampment
to no one more than to Mr., l. W. 10y ofouI
town, will we be indebted for their coming
He has worked intelligently and indeiatiga

Woman's Education.

Lady Aberdeen, in an address before
an educational meeting not long ago.
regarding women's education, said:
They serve on school boards and
parochial boards, they act on commit
tees, they take leading part in phil
anthropic, religious and mission work"
II they are to maintain this position
and it is for the good of the community
as well as for their own happiness that
they should maintain it--they must pass
through brain discipline that will fit
them to grapple with the problems and
perplexities of public life. There is no
risk that the tenderness of their emo
tional nature, the delicacies OF their
feminine sensibilities, will be destroyed
by sound culture of the intellectual
faculties. Women contribute to the
management of the poor, the young,
the infirm, in so far as these are thrown
upon the public, an inestimably valu-
able element of kindness and purity.
But there is not the slightest danger
that this element will be extinguished
by brain power. A strong feminine
understanding will be the best ally Of
a soft feminine heart.

colleges and academies received last
year from churches $50, 7S9, and aided

The Philadelphia Record, in
speaking of the habit of non-pewhold-

uses the phraze, "a spiritual lunch

-Four hundred and eighty-two
works on theology and religion were
published in the United States during
the year 1888. OF these S39 were
made in the United States.
During the past year the net gain
of new churches in the United States
was 1884; of ministers, 4,505, ard OF
members, 774,S64. On an average,
therefore, seventeen congregations
were gained each day, twelve minis
ters and 2, 120 members.
"A pastor who divides his time be-
tween two churches in Maine was
called upon by both to deliver sermons
at the same time. His wife relieved
him from the quandary by delivering
a sermon, and the church at which she
officiated thinks it had the best of tho
bargain.
AT meeting recently held at
Scandinavia, Wis, the representatives
of all but one of the Norwegian church
bodies in America united upon basis
for organic union. A constitution was
adopted and new general church
body organized to be known as the
United Norwegian Lutheran Church
of America.
Rev. John Brown, an English cler-
gyman, who has been visiting in this
country, says that American preach
ers are too fond of the picturesque.
This tendency sometimes leads them to
describe forbidden pleasures with such
a literary sympathy that many un-
thinking people feel strongly inclined
to indulge in them, so that the object
of the sermon is defeated.

Hatching Grows for Bounty.

An ingenious agricultural person
who lives not very from Boston has hit
upon u new and decidedly profitable in-
dustry. There has recently arisen a
demand for crows heads, hitherto
deemed valueless, and it is his purpose
to supply it. Ten cents apiece the
county authorities have offered for the
crania of these interesting birds from
whose destructive propensities the
farmers crops have been suffering SER
iously Of late years. Under ordinary
circumstances this bounty would not
leave a very large margin of profit for
the recipient. 1t costs something, you
see, to kill crow. There is the am
munition, in the first place, which is
expensive, and one can not count upon
staying even II single inky-feathered
fowl for each charge of shot and pow
der. Besides, the sportman's time
must be reckoned in the account But
the enterprising specuator above re-
ferred to has devised a scheme by
which a maximum percentage of gain
is to be secured without any risk
worth speaking of. He has set up a
chicken incubator of the most approved
pattern, in which is placed as fast as
laid the product of about one hundred
hen crows that have been trapped and
confined, in company with perhaps a
dozen cock crows. Within fifteen
days the little creatures are Matched,
and a fortnight later they are ready
to be decapitated. For be it under
stood that the head ofa crow chick is
worth just as much as that of an adult
of the species. At the uniform rate of
ten for a dollar, dead, they pay the
producer.-Albany (N. W Argus.

Among the Australian tribes, death ls
the regular penalty for breach OF
this rigorous rule.
Speaking generally, it may be said
that marriage prohibition extends
only to mans own totem clan. But
there are also numerous cases where
the prohibition extends further.
Thus, Panther of the Creek Indians
may not marry Panther; but he is
also prohibited from marrying
Wildcat woman. The Senecas were
divided into two groups of four totems
each; the Bear, Wolf, Beaver and
Turtle clans could not intermarry;
nor could the Deer, Snipe. Heron and
Hawk clans; but member of any one of
the totems OF one group was compelled
to seek mate in one of the totems OF
the other group.
1t is impossible to go thoroughly
into the origin and nature of totemism
within the limits of an article such as
this. But enough has been said to
show that its main use among
primitive peoples has been with refer
ence to marriage AS to whether or
not it took its origin in some religious
idea, or whether the religious aspect
has been an aftergrowth of the social
custom, opinions continue to differ
widely. In BRIEF it may be said that
Mr.. M'Lennan thought that totemism
was necessarily connected with
animal-worship; that Mr. Herbert
| Spencer thinks it was confused sort
OF ancestor worship; that Sir John
Lubbock thinks it originated in
nature worship; and Mr.. Staniland
Wake thinks that it had good deal
to do with the oriental belief in the
transmigration of the soul, and was u
combination of nature-w worship and
animal-worship. Chambers journal.
