All the freeholds are gone, the valuable
leasehold ground rents gone, Claxton Manor
and its rent roll gone, and now the consols
gone, and that woman is gloating over her
ill-gotten gains" As Jack hears all this
he fushes half guiltily.
''l say, dad" he answers, "there's one
trump card you haven't played yet; YOU
may win all back yet. May play the card
for you?" The Dean turns sharply on his
son.
"No jesting boy; what do you mean p /
Jack takes his fathers hand and saws
softly!
''Let me marry Nellie"
Men don't often have Mysteries, but
deans perhaps may now and then; at any
rate, Dean Thurlow seemed on the verge
of an attack, but in a few moments he
pulled himself together and grasped the
situation. Nellie was a cooks daughter, it
is true, but she was an heiress, exceedingly
sweet, gentle, and pretty.
All that month that young rascal Jack
had been fishing near Claxton Manor, and
truly he had fshed to some purpose.
Mrs. Thurlow was a little difficult to
manage; for many nights she neglected
"Wilhelm Meister" and listened to Jacks
plausible pleading Then, aided and
abetted by his father, he got Nellie asked
to the deanery, and her sweet winning
ways completed the victory.
Parker stood somewhat on her dignity;
but she had grown to like that bright-faced
boy, and having so completely overthrown
the Dean she could afford to be generous.
Then the Dean girded himself together
and brought all his diplomacy to bear on
the marriage settlements. He cajoled
Parker into resigning some of her life
interests, and ultimately the entire property
of Uncle Tony was brought back into the
family. Having accomplished this, the
Dean set himself to work to put good
face on the matter socially. He discovered
that Parker's father had been small oil
and color-man who preached in little
Methods chapel on Sundays in a remote
village in Lincolnshire Parker was aston
ished, and society duly impressed to hear
the Dean allude to her father as "the we'll
known divine Jonathan Parker" Within
a year Or two she relieved the Dean of all
further trouble by retiring once more to
Lincolnshire and marrying a respectable
local doctor.
The years run on and still find Mrs.
Dean struggling with "Wilhelm Meister,"
and the Dean sits and sips his old port as
of yore, but little grandson generally
rests upon his knee and persuades the
reverend divine to tell him a story. |
regret to say that the morals of the Deans
stories always have a distinctly worldly
favor, and invariably inculcate the supreme
duty of getting on, making money and
duly investing it.

An Important Fact.
From the Cecil (Md.) whlg.

AA'hA thS etNiA ANllsJ " hi5s
The recently reported cases of dogs in
this vicinity suffering from the rabies recalls
an incident which occurred near Elkton
number of years ago, and which was related
to us day or two ago by an old citizen of
this town. Mr. Peter Pierson, highly
respected citizen and farmer of this vicinity,
and the father of Mr.. Amos Z. Pierson, of
this town, and who died recently, once had
was supposed ID 6sffl be mad hF Sr. lhRl which
the bull confined at the time, it having
acted strangely, but no one supposing it
had been bitten by rabid dog. The ami
NAL seemed to be choking, and, to relieve
it, Mr.. Pierson unstripped his arm and
attempted to run his hand down its throat
In the act his hand was seized by the bull
and badly lacerated. Upon the advice of
his physician and friends he decided to 90
to Philadelphia hospital for treatment,
but while in Elkton with his hand bandaged
he met on the street DR.. Amos A. Evans,
then in extensive practice here. The Doctor
said to Mr. Pierson "there is no necessity
whatever for you to go to Philadelphia TO
have your hand treated; do as l tell you
when you go home, and don't be uneasy
about it, for no animal that is born with
its eyes open can give you the hydrophobia
by biting you. As there are but two of
our domestic animals born with closed
eyes, the dog and the cat, whose young
open them on the ninth day, the inference
was that only by them could hydrophobia
be communicated. Wo are not informed
as to whether this axiom of DIR. Evans was
then or is now recognized by the medical
profession, but it is certain that in the case
referred to Mr.. Pierson never experienced
any trouble from his wound, although the
animal that had bitten him was pronounced
a rabid one, and had upon proof been bitten
by rabid dog.

CHAPTER IL.

Next morning he and his son Jack took
train to Claxton Manor. OF course Jack
was to 90, as he, in fact, was the heir.
All the real estate, and there was good
bit, was to 90 finally to him. Jack was a
wild Oxford undergraduate Of twenty, very
comely to look upon, with his bright young
English face, his merry eyes, and tawny
hair. The Dean loved and was proud of
his son, but for all that Jack was a thorn
in his fathers side. When his bills came
in from Oxford there was always dread
full scene.
"He is so absolutely ignorant of the
value of money" sighed his father. "What
that boy costs me no one will ever know"
The Dean always preached little i'm
moral essays to his son in this wise:
providence, as rule, endows man
with one of three things-brains, money,
or good looks-all three are negotiable Sc
curities; you have no brains and no money,
but you have the third; make the best use
of it and marry an heiress." Jack always
promised he would.
As they drove up to the closed house
the Dean admonished his son to treat
Parker with great respect, and he added:
"And 1 do wish, Jack, you would throw
away that cigarette and contrive to look
little more depressed =
"Brt, dad, [ am not depressed at all; l
never saw the old gentleman. In fact, l
am looking forward to a jolly good row
between you and Parker, and say it's
three to one ON Parker" The Dean
groaned softly; it was so hard that ones
own flesh and blood should take so melan-
eholy view of his chances of success.
As they passed through the old hall the
Dean was startled by Jack calling out:
"Hullo, dad !" This was caused by a
passing glimpse of a very pretty girl Of
about seventeen. She was dressed in very
neat mourning, with pretty white scarf;
she moved away with such a swift, dainty
grace that before the Dean could get his
eye-glass up she was gone.
Doubtless, Miss Gladys Munroe from
the hall, he said. ''They all greatly es-
teemed your uncle"
Jack looked less depressed than ever.

No End to Its Uses.
From New York Sun.

OF novel applications of electricity there
is no end. Bakers are now using the cleo
tric motor as bread mixer, and are thus
enabled to do in four or FIVE minutes an
amount of work that would otherwise re-
quire hours of hand labor, A writer in
medical paper says he has frequently OBJ
tanned much relief from facial neuralgia by
applying an incandescent light to the parts
affected. He suggests that the lamp could
also be used in poulticing advantageously..
Il could be laid over faxseed or other
form of poultice, and constant heat could
be thus secured.

The next three months are chronicle
of doughty legal deeds, With beauti
full alacrity several sets of solicitors gal
loped into the fray.
The Dean questioned the marriage and
that was established; then he attacked the
second will and that was confirmed. After
that, to his horror, the widow carried the
war into his camp and impugned his twenty
thousand pounds consuls arrangement, and
to his utter dismay the court held it formed
part of the deceased s assets and went under
his will, and worse still, the costs were
given against the Dean. 1t was indeed
narrowing spectacle to behold Dean Thur
low, who had triumphed over so many
foes, now overthrown and vanquished by
quondam cook.
His excellent wife took the opportu-
nifty of his abasement to enforce moral
lesson or two on greed and worldiness.
The Dean was, indeed, a wreck; he looked
ten years older. For many days he never
read his papers, Consols went up and
down and he needed them not. 1t was
now summer time, and Jack had been
away sketching and fishing for a month,
and came back home just as the crisis
arrived His father stared at him with

STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS
~ AND DISBURSEMENTS
For Public School Purposes for the Last
School Year.

To the Honorable the Board of County School
Commissioners cf Carroll county:
submit herewith, in accordance with the
requirements of law, a statement of the re-
ceipts and disbursements for public school
purposes during the last school year.
Exclusive of the balance on hand at the
beginning of the year, the money borrowed
temporarily from time to time, and several
sums from unusual sources, the total receipts
were $46,641.55. Exclusive of the balance
on hand at the close of the year and the tenn
porary loans repaid, the total expenditures
were S52, ,657.0l, an excess of ordinary eX-
penses over ordinary receipts of $6,015.4G.
We were enabled to meet this excess by the
several sums from unusual sources mentioned
above, viz: s., 200, twenty years accumula-
ton Of portion of the county academic fund
in the state treasury; 81 600, balance due from
the County Commissioners on the special
term of school in the spring of 1888; 81, 800
advanced by the County Commissioners of the
levy for the current year, and 81, 900 building
fund, also belonging to the current year, but
used to pay bills already accrued.
The ordinary cost of three terms Of schools,
with necessary building, repairing and fur
nishing, in year, can never fall much below
the sum reached last year. The number of
pupils increases constantly at an average of
over 100 year. Last year the NUMBER was
G,SS6, an increase of III over the preceding
year, and of 6l5 over 1884. The school ex-
penses must necessarily increase in proportion.
The ordinary revenue, under existing con-
ditons, cannot materially increase. The ex-
traordinary resources, happily available for
last year, are of course exhausted. Unless
additional provision be made by the County
Commissioners for the current annual ex-
penses we shall be compelled to choose be-
tween increasing our permanent debt and
shortening the term of school.
The building of necessary new schoolhouses
is no longer matter of serious difficulty.
There are still some twelve or fifteen required,
but they are not all needed now, and can be
built as they are needed without hardship or
serious embarrassment. 1t is the ordinary
annual expense that our revenue is inadequate
to meet, and for which additional provision
must be made.
To increase our debt is seemingly imprac-
ticable at this time. Neither the banks nor
private persons appear to have money to loan.
But if this were not so, it would be unwise
for us to be adding annually to a debt which
is already burdensome, and which it would
soon be impossible for us to pay.
To shorten the term of school would entail
upon us the loss of the March apportionment
of public school fluids from the state-nearly
81, ,000-and subject our teachers to an injus
tice which would not be attempted in any
other branch of the public service, and which
would probably drive many of the best of them
out OF the county to seek employment else
where, to say nothing of the great loss and
detriment TO the schools.

Impermeable Glue.

To make an impermeable glue, soak
ordinary glue in water until it softens, and
remove it before it has lost its primitive
form. After this, dissolve it in linseed oil
over slow fire until it is brought to the
consistence of jelly. This glue may be
used for joining any kinds Of material. In
addition to strength and hardness, it has
the advantage of resisting the action of
water.

The ransomed millions are.

The living waters flow:
