ST. GEORGE It is said that in
 AND THE a lake near the city DRAGON. J of Slene, in Eng land, huge dragon dwelt, whose in satiable maw seemed satisfied with nothing the people could give him. In their despair they cast lots to determine who among thelr dearest ones should be flung to the beast, and the lot fell to the Kings daugh- ter. As she was going, like Jeptha' s daughter, to meet her terrible fate, she was met by George of Cappado- cia, who after hearing her sad story, bade her fear not, aud making a sign of the cross he brandshed his lance attacked and transfXed the dragon, and leading him into the city be- headed him in the presence of all the people. For this noble deed he be- came the Patron Saint of England. Many dragon in the form of disease, while leading his victim to death, as sure as that which would have be- fallen the Kings daughter but for her timely rescue, has been demol- ished by the use of s, $. S., and the victim restored to health.

to joint resolution No. of the General As
sembly of 1884, page 1853, laws of 1884, es.
tablishing Arbor Day in Maryland.
AS every Justice oil the Peace has copy
of the laws of 1884, every teacher can easily
procure a copy Of said joint resolution.
respectfully recommend that the Gov
ernor's proclamation and said Joint resolu-
tion be read at each school celebration of
Arbor Day.
Would it not be well TO organize at each
school house, permanent tree planting as
sociation, including the trustees, teachers,
pupils and patrons, to foster love of trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and for the adorn-
ment of school grounds and village or neigh
borhood?
Washington city is becoming the pride OF
Americans as the most beautiful city in the
world, largely because of the systematic
planting OF trees throughout the city and
of shrubbery and flowers in its reservations.
Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, the loveliest
in the United States, is the delight and
pride of every citizen. London has several
thousand acres of park. No city, town or
village can be beautiful without abun-
dance OF shade trees.
In some parts of Germany the govern
ment makes 1t q duty for every landholder
to plant trees In highways before his prop
erty, and in few towns no young bachelor
can take wife till he has planted tree.
The public schools by organization at
small expense can within few years add
greatly to the beauty and attractiveness of
our State. The Arbor Day festival may be
the occasion of an annual review of what
has been done and of planning for the COM
ing year.

Arbor Day.

The following is the substance of proc
lamation recently issued by Gov. Jackson
in regard to Arbor day in this State:
AS required by joint resolution number
seven OF the General Assembly of 1884,
do hereby designate Wednesday, the Sth
day of April next, as Arbor Day, and recon-
mend that it be observed by the people of
the State, in conformity with the resolu-
tions, in planting trees, shrubs and vines;
in the promotion of forest growth and cul-
ture; in the adornment of public and pri-
vate grounds and ways, and in such other
manner as may be in harmony with the
character of the day so set apart.
While the day is not legal holiday, l
hope the authorities will cause it to be OBJ
served in all the public schools and teach
an important lesson to the children in our
State.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
Of Maryland, at the City of Annapolis, on
the 10th day March, A. D., 1891.

In Memoriam.

| Mrs. Edmonia f. Bowlen, wife of DR.. g
w. Bowlen, died at her residence, in Barnes
| vile, on Tuesday, March Gath, at the age o
| So years. She fell victim TO that disease
now so prevalent throughout the entire coun-
try, la grippe. Mrs. Bowlen was daugh.
ter of Mr.. VIM. Gambler, who was at one
time citizen of Montgomery county, after
wards of Frederick City, but now OF
Berryvlle, Va. She was noted for affection
to her family, kindness to her neighbors
and devotion to her church.
She was buried in the Catholic burrying-
ground at Barnesvlle on Thursday. Her
funeral was largely attended by friends and
neighbors.
The sadness OF the occasion was intensi-
fed by the fact that neither her husband
nor her elder daughter, Mrs. Bernard Gard
ner, could be present-both being critically
ill with the same disease that had taken
away the loving wife and tender mother.
Died, at 4:48 A. NJ, on Tuesday, Decem-
Der the 2nd, 1890, l. Clarice Grimes, aged
year, months and 20 days, dearly be-
loved and only child Of W. +. and Irene l..
Grimes
Mournfuly We watched by her cradle all
night,
Waiting and watching for the morning
light;
Anxiously we watched, but all in vain,
For the light never shone from her eyes
again.
We look at her cradle, we look at her chair,
And wish our darling Clarice was there,
But why do We mourn, we know It's best,
Our darling has gone to home OF the blest.
We cannot grow used to the silence,
We listen all the day
For the voice that made such music,
For the voice that's far away.
For the merry foot in the doorway,
For the voice like a silver bell,
And Thou knowest, o. our Father,
How hard to say it is well.
On the grave we scatter flowers,
But our loved girl hath gone
Where no shadow of death shall darken
The flowers around the throne.
My little one, my sweet one,
Thou can'st not come to me,
But nearer draws the numbered hour
When shall go to thee.

Our Aims House and Jail.-Two of
the members of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Association recently visited our coun-
ty, and after inspecting the Alms-Hou
and Jail made the following report:
awe visited Rockville on Thursday, the
10Th instant. We were delighted to find
that the Improvements we recommended
several years ago at the aims house had been
finally made by tearing out a number OF
old partitions, which changed a number of
little dingy and musty apartments into
bright and pleasant dormitories The conf
missioners deserve credit for this improve
ment, which, whilst made at trifling cost
has added SO much to the comfort and cheer
of the feeble and helpless inmates. We
found every apartment scrupulously clean
and neat. The Rockville Jail, although quite
an old building, maintains its reputation as
being one of the cleanest and best kept jails
in Maryland, or anywhere. Not only thu
ceilings and walls, but even the floors wert
whitewashed beautifully. Mr.. VIM. L. w
Connell, a deputy sheriff, is keeper of thu
Jail, and he takes just pride in its condi

to the children of the Sunday School, who
acquitted themselves in the best manner.

down the centre aisle singing an Easter carol,
accompanied by the music of the organ.
After being seated, they also sang several
othgg pieces appropriate to the occasionahd'
were examined in the catechism of the
church, to which they gave ready answers.
AT the conclusion of the exercises each one
of the members of the infant class was pre-

Arabs as Guides.

1t is not little singular that the Arabs
of the desert are far inferior to the ma
tives of America in the faculty of finding
their way through woods or over plains.
They are apt to be near-sighted at the
best, and often have the additional mis-
fortune Of diseased ewes In her account
of the "Bcdoujn Tribes Of the Euphra-
ties, Lady Blunt speaks of this incapac-
ity of Arab guides:
We were no sooner out of the wady,
and on the table land again, than we
found ourselves in thick fog, which
would have obliged US to stop if we had
been without compass. By the com
pass we determined the direction, and
then kept to it by the y nd, which blew
from behind upon our light ears.
1t IS curious how little faculty the
Arabs have of finding their wav. Their
course seems to be directed entirely bv
what, | believe, sailors call rule of
thumb" Once out of their own district,
they are incapable Of pursuing straight
llne by the sun, wind, or by any n.tuial
instinct. They travel from landmark to
landmark, and almost always in zigzag,
which costs them many mile.
Here they had TO depend entirely upon
us for the direction OF FL Haddr, a place
we had never seen or heard of till two
days before; and our knowledge of its
position, though simple enough to us,
seemed very marvellous to the guides.
When the fog cleared. as it did in the
course of the morning, they saw, to their
surprise, Fl Haddr straight in front OF
them. 1t was still many miles off, but
our course had been correct. | think this
fog was fortunate circumstance, "a il
raised us in the eyes Of all our following,
who now professed full faith and cont
dence in my husband
