Whence Weeds Come.

The Farmers Gazette, Of London, re-
Gently made some practical remarks
upon weeds and whence they come. 1t
/ Is probable, according to this article, that
the six most obnoxious weeds found on
arabic 3oils are the dock, thistle, nettle,
| charloJk, the poppy and bindweed. a
weed Is defined as any plant out of place.
| Cultivated grasses are frequently found
growing in arabic fields, and there they
are distinctly weeds, inasmuch as they
are fed upon the food which the cult
waited crop requires and occupy the place
which 1t should occupy. In answer to
the question whence weeds come there
are, writes correspondent of The Man
chester Guardian, "eight replies given,
to one or two of which l may refer. 1t
is remarked that the seeds of weeds are
often present among the seeds which are
sown, and that especially is this the case
in grass seeds. To guard against this the
farmer should go to seedsmen who are
known to have taken great precautions
in the cleaning Of their seeds.
Further, it is remarked that many

is distributed upon the land. The wind
is responsible for carrying the seeds of
weeds both into our gardens and fields,
and this is one reason why farmers
should not only keep their fields but
their hedgerows also clean. The hedge
rows are the cause of a great deal of
mischief, as well as the strips of land on
either side of the high road, which no.
body owns and which few attempt to
clean. If the farm is to be kept free
from weeds, the hodges, the bitches and
the roadsides must be kept clean also.
Among other methods of distributing
seeds, it is suggested that running sur
face waters and streams carry them from
field to field, that seeds are dropped by
birds and are found in their manure,
while others are carried in the mud on
their feet. Again, some seeds cling to
domestic animals and even to the cloth
ing of the men. 1t is remarked that,
after the invasion of France by the Ger
mans, weeds which had been carried by
the German army appeared in some
places where they had been practically
unknown before"

Disd When 1t Reached Its Value.

Henry J. Mowry, of Syracuse, is a
great horse buyer and a man who can
tell the good and bad points about a
horse with his eyes shut. He was so ex-
pert in horsefesh that President Cleve-
land trusted him to buy his horses, and
the finest animals Washington has ever
seen were brought there for Mr.. Cleve-
land by Bir. Mowry. Several years ago,
in Syracuse, he went into a car stable
which had Just received d fresh stock of
horses. He was asked to lock them over,
and did So After he got through he told
the hostler to bring out certain horse he
designated.
How much did you pay for that
horse?" he asked one of the directors of
the road.
''Seventy-five dollars"
IN two years, with careful training"
said Mr.. Mowry. THAT horse VIII be
worth SIS. 900 or I'll eat him
The director followed Mr. Mowry' adj
vice. had the horse carefully trained,
and in one year more was worth Sl5. 200
10 the owner. But on his first race he
made a misjump over a hurdle, broke
MS neck, and horse and $4,000 went
skywaTd.
When Mr., Mewry told the director to
take that horse cut and train him for
hurdle jumper he did not state that be
would be apt to break his neck before he
made a cent for his owner. Therefore
the director was out s., 600 for training
and a So horse.

PRAYING and Eating,

If religious festivals make a people re-
ligious the Sardes are among the most
religious of nations. Seldom did we en-
ter town or village without finding the
place either in the midst of fiesta, an
ticipating a coming fiesta, or discussing
the fiesta Just ended. Scattered over the
island are a multitude of small chapels
dedicated to obscure saints, and to which
the villagers for miles around flock with
provisions and bedding once or twice a
year. They camp out in the open or
sleep in adjacent caves; a priest says mass
in their midst, and they all eat and drink
as if they had never before had a good
meal, or as if the rest of their lives was
to be one long fast.
a disagreeable litter of OK bones, ribs
of sheep, orange peel, bean skins and
stones of olives strewn amid the grass
near the hermitage or on the level earth
at the very church door, bears constant
witness to the traveller of this sort of re-
ligiouS iunketing up and down the land.
The following statistics of food consumed
at traditional gathering, merely to cele-
brate the ordination of a priest in the
district of Mamojada, shadows forth the
magnitude of the Sarde festas in general.
Two thousand five hundred people were
present, and between them they ate %
cows, 26 calves, 2S deer and wild boars,
$40 sheep, 800 lambs, killings and suck
ing pigs, 600 fowls, IS measures-of what
size indeterminate-of sugar, 80 pounds
of pepper and spices, $50 measures of
corn, a hundredweight of rice, hun
dredweight of dates, so sugsred cakes,
5000 eggs, % large barrels of wine, 5000
fish and vast quantity of confectionery.

in part, upon the latter's financial cendi-
ton. A case IN point: A friend tells me
that his daughter consulted a physician,
and the latter having satisfied himself as
to the trouble suggested trip to the Yos-
emite. But my father cannot afford that"
said the young lady. In that case" the
doctor replied, TASK him to buy you pony
and a village cart and take long drive
every day" Il am afraid" said the pa
tient, that papa could not afford that,
either" The doctor was equal TO the oc-
casion. ''Then take good, long ride in an
open horse car every day" he said; ''it will
do you just as much good" My friends

suburbs by open street cars and is improv-
ing rapidly under this treatment" which

Did not Sign the Petition.

We are pleased to be able to con-
tradict the published statements that
Mr.. John R. Bonds name was on
the petition which was circulated in
Port Deposit for signatures asking
the legislature to resubmit the license
question again IN this county 10 q
popular vote. In a note received
from Mr.. Bond he says:
"My name is attached to no petit
ton bearing upon this question"
Mr.. Bond further says:
"The petition signed by the gen
tlemen named was not for license in
any form, but was petition to re-
submit to the people of this county,
the question at issue that they may
determine by their votes thereon
their preference for license or no
license"
We believe we are not in error in
making the statement that Mr.. Bond
claims to be logician, and therefore
he will consider it legitimate con-
cluson if we prove by that beautiful
scieDce that those who sign a peti.
ton for resubmitting to popular
vote the question of license or no
license in Cecil county, are in tavor
Of license. Having law prohibiting
licensing the sale of spirituos liquors
in the county, those who are oppos-
ed to license are satisfied the law is
a good and proper law, and..for many
strong reasons which have often
been stated, and of course are OPP
posed to any movement looking to
the possibility of a change to a
worse condition. and are also oppos-
ed to any act that would appear to
admit that so utterly bad business
has any right to exist, or TIL at the
public in its law making capacity
has right to legalize public wrong
Therefore, those who petition for re-
submission must be dissatisfied with
the law which denies the right Of,
and forbids.Ithe liquor traffic, and can
have no other motive for desiring re-
submission than the hope of substi
tuting license laws,ssfor the existing
prohibitory law. There is no "ques
ton at ISSUE" as Mr.. Bond alleges.
to be.settled. The tissue" has been
met and decided, and there can be
no other motive in petitioning for
resubmission other than to change a
good prohibition law for bad liquor
license law. The signers of all such
petitions publish the fact that they
wish to bring back the saloon to this
county.

Road Notice.
munlcated


While the subject of road improve
mentis fresh in the minds of the public
we think it opportune to call attention
to a new phase of the matter, that has
not received attention. To put it in
the form of an Interrogation it is this:
Have our public roads any we'll defined
or legal location and width?
The width seems to be generally un-
derstood though many are not graded
out to allow of passing at all points
with safety A recent circumstance
has brought to light the fact that there
is at least one public road in this coun-
ty, more than four miles in length,
that does not now follow the courses
on which it was located, for at least
halt its length and there is no evidence
to show that it now has any legal exist
ence or boundaries.
This road in question was regularly
laid out by examiners in 1895 and there
is no record of a more recent survey or
any change in bearings. The country
was then, no doubt, much of open
land of little value, and consequently
a carelessness in boundaries, and this
road in question appears never to have
been even opened upon the Surveyed loca
ton. but runs back and forth across the
line of it.
Properties divided and sold aimee
1895 have conformed their lines end
corners TO partly conform to the pres
ent location of the road track, and
where fences encroach upon the need
ed width, there Is now no authority to
say where it should be.
Before we can make the permanent
roads we are now laboring for, this
matter should be attended to, and every
road have legal location.
1.-THE undisputed use of the roads
gives sufficient title aud the width of
county roads is specified in the law.
Where the matter is in dispute a jury
is appointed to lay off and condemn
enough land for widening the road or
making alterations in location.l

The River of Wealth.

The following statistics show the
course of the stream of wealth and
the gulf into which it empties:
In 1850 the total wealth of the
United States was 100000 00. 900,
of which labor owned $1,000, 100000
aud capital SO, 0OO.000,000. In 1870,
total wealth, $50 900, 100000, labor
owned $ll.0OO,O00,O00 and capital
$l9,000.000,O00. In 1880, total
wealth, $40, 600, 900, 900, labor owned
$9.00O,0OO.O0O and capital S34, 900 :
900, 900. 1t will be seen that in 1860
labor owned 43 per cent of the
wealth of the county, in 1870 it
owned So per cent, and in 1880 it
owned 20 per cent. The census OF
1890 will show that capital owns
nearly the entire wealth of the coun
try. How is this alarming state of
affairs to oe remedied? By the PEG

The Railway Postal Clerks.

John Il. Patterson, editor of a
publication known as limited States

oftyranny practiced by one Mr.. Bell.

had bill introduced into congress,
enlarging the postal railway depart.
ment but leaving the same old abuse,
discretionary powers to under sub
ordinates such as Mr.. Bell to regulate
the salaries of number of the postal
clerks, and practice favoritism and
vent his spirit on any whomlhe has
some real or imagionary grievance
against The clerks have had bill
prepared which fixes the salary of
every clerk and this removes this
instrument of torture and abuse from
the hands of all such petty deposits
like Bell is represented to be by MIR.
Patterson in his speech before the
committee of congress-, which has the
bill in charge. The contemplate
practices which Mr.. Patterson char.
ges this Mr.. Bell vita should cause
him to be fred out of his place with.
out a moments delay. And these
charges are made in 100 specific a
manner to be questioned. We hope
the Postal Clerks bill will become a
law without delay. The law would
bill this cat which mouses about the
postal cars with green eyes, so as to
prevent his practices of small
tyranny and injustice on the hard
worked and defenseless clerks.
