Too much glass in hen houses eN-

Whenever the belief of DIR. Collier,
that sugar can be made at cost otone
cent per pound, becomes realized, il
will be largely used for finishing off
the fattening of stock. In fact, were
sugar as cheap as il was three or four
years ago, before the trusts put up its
price, its cheaper grades and refuse
syrup could be protitably given to fat
tening animals. Sugar is nearly pure
carbon, as also Is fat. In the old days,
when slaves performed all the work in
shipping the canes, grinding them and
manufacturing their product, planters
always noticed that the negroes rapidly
fattened at this time, though working
more hours per day than at any other
season. II may be urged that so much
sweet food is unhealthful, but TO this
il can be answered that the starchy
foods arc in tho mouth and stomach
converted into sweets during the pro-
cess of digestion.
Chew piece of bread or cracker
slowly, so as to entirely mix it with
the saliva in the mouth, and you will
find il becoming sweet from this chem
ical change of starch into glucose
sugar. 1t is not so sweet as cane sugar,
and probably not so fattening. At
least it il more palstable, and animals
fed all the grain they will freely eat
may have their sppetites whetted for
more by the addition Of little sweet
ening. Horses, when taught TO eat
sugar, often become extremely fond of
It. a little wild oats will make the
coat shine, but it is not good for fur
nishing muscle for horses at work.

A Delightful Evening.
Reported for the Democratic Advocated


AT the distribution of the mail one day last
week, the occupants of Western Maryland
College and the Seminary were the happy re-
cipients of invitations to a reception at the
Presidents House on the evening of the 9th.
1t is almost needless to say few excuses were
sent, for all know that DR.. Lewis is never
more successful than when with open doors
and assisted by Mrs. Lewis kindly presence
he performs the duties of genial host. By
six o'clock the whole number of guests had
assembled, and it was surely pleasing sight
Every part of the house was brilliantly
lighted and the Westminster Orchestra be-
hind great mound of flowers, lent 'Music's
magic voice" to enliven the occasion.
President and Mrs. Lewis stood in the
centre of the parlor to receive and it would
be the most cynical of old bachelors who
could fail to admire the long procession of
bright faced school girls, radiant with youth
and health and anticipation, who gladly
shook hands and returned salutations with
their valued President and wife. We almost
felt like indulging in rhapsody on youth
so bright, so full of glorious possibilities, so
care free, so fleeing but so charming. 1t is
not customary to comment on the personal
appearance of the male portion of the as
sembly, but of this we are assured that
all, from the stalwart six footers to the
ones still in Knickerbockers, felt the hap.
piness which beamed from their faces, and
the Babel of tongues which soon filled the
rooms, showed that no time was to be lost
between the departments in comparing notes
on the examination Just over, the Christmas
holidays fast approaching and the '.lovely
time" they were just then enjoying. In two

laid=Snt and decorated with howers,s would
accommodate forty persons, and it goes with

signal they were well filled, and filled and
filed again. until 16O had partaken of the
delicious lunch consisting of cold turkey,
potato salad, lobster croquettes, jelly, celery,
rolls, biscuit, coffee and chocolate, followed
| by jelly and cake.
While forty were discussing the viands up
stairs, there was no cessation in the fun and
laughter down stairs, so that ten O'Clock,
s.when all lights must be extinguished,
came all too soon. There were, however, nc
clouds on any faces as with enthusiastic
thanks ''good bye was spoken, and DR.
and Mrs. Lewis were left in quiet, but with
the pleasing consciousness that they had
made all those under their care very happy
for the evening, and the feeling can but give
ioy to every earnest thinking person, who
knowing how short is youth, how thick anC

insured for $1,000, and 1000 peach trees.
There is also creamery at Wye Mills and

Del. On December 9 the trustees executed
their bond for Sl5O,OOO. The liens against
the property are said to be 100000, and
claims Of unpreferred creditors quite large.
