The Presiding Elder in Cecil.

Rev. DR.. hurry contributed to the
Peninsula Methodist of last week letter
relating to his last official visit to this
county from we take the following:
Mt. Pleasant, Cecil county, is rejoic.
ing over the return of Rev. F. B Short.
The quarterly conference more than dou-
bled his salary, an appreciation of the
fact that he has more than doubled the
congregations, which ill the house in
the morning aud on Sunday evenings
overflow. One hundred volumes have
been added to the Sunday Schol Library.
This department Is in better condition
than it has been for years
Rising Sun is very much pleased with
Rev. j. E. Bryan. His pulpit ability
especially is highly spoken Of The new
church at Sylmar is attracting consider
able attention. The materials are being
placed on the ground and soon the foun
dations will be laid and the house of the
Lord will be built. Cottage prayer
meetings are being held in the commun
ity; and a Sunday School has been Or
gained, with twenty seven scholars,
assist him.
Port Deposit gave Rev Adam Steng!e
hearty welcome. The pastor stated in
his report, so far as be had become &C
quainted with the work and workers,
the church was IN good condition. The
Epworth League is tlourishing. The
lecture room on Sunday evening, was
we'll filled an hour before preaching,
when the leaguers held a temperance
meeting. This church is wide awake on
temperance. Who can tell the good
that may be accomplished by united
effort against the greatest curse on earth
to day! To aid in the good work, Mrs.
Helen Bullock of Elmira, n Y. was.
announced to speak on Tuesday night
last, under the united auspices of the
young peoples society and the w. c.
7. U.
On Sunday evening. the 3rd, Bro.
Stengle preached for me at Hopewell,
where twenty one years ago, he made
one of his earliest effnrts at public speak
ing, being at that time an applicant fol
admission to the Wilmington Confer
ence, then holding its session in Port
Deposit Rev. o. S. Walton, the new
pastor, has been received kindly, and
heard gladly. There is much talk of a
parsonage at this place, which we hope
may be au accomplished fact. This
church had one of the greatest revivals
on the district, last year, and feels the
responsibility of caring for the young
converts.
The Woodlawn camp is held near this
place, and Rev. Isaac l.. Wood has been
unanimously elected to take charge
but has felt it necessary to decline, be
cause of srduous pastoral duties, anC
because of his wife's ocular sufferings
which make it necessary for her to re
main in darkened room. For this,
however, we hope there may be found ;
perfect remedy, and that the recovery
may be speedy and complete. The boarG
of managers will meet, Monday, May

in search of an issue for the national

it does not take up issues on their mer-

/ are men who would 1ather be president

want to win control of the government
more than they desire to establish any
principle or policy. And as you can
never be- sire in advance which lis the

popul sr itself is liable to change,
The Para atis thus guided in its ac-

HE KNEW THE PEOPLE.

A clergyman of Buffalo said, in a
recent discourse on character, that he
once visited farming community to
solicit funds for an educational instl-
tuition He was accompanied by a
shrewd old farmer who knew the
people, AID as they approached the
first house the farmer said:
"If you want to get any money out
of this man you must appeal to him on
the highest motives; that's the only
way to reach him"
Coming to the next house, he said !:
"Here's man whose pride must be
touched. If you hope to get sub
scription from him, tell him what his
neighbors are giving
As they neared the next farm he
said.
"Gf you want to get any money out
of this man you must talk to him in
his barn.
''In his barn?" cried the amazed
dominic ''why IN his barn"
"You must get him out of the way
CT his wife," answered the farmer
"She has such a dominion over HIM
that he does not dare say his soul is
hrs own. So get him In the barn, deal
brother, get him in the barn"

HINTS FOR CHRIST MAS.

Don't ask your child what he
wants unless you intend to give it to
him.
Though money makes the mare go
it makes Santa Claus come.
Don't buy your best girl a present
on the installment plan.
Rub the price mark off the present
unless it is an expensive one
If you wish to surprise your girl
never ask her what she would like
for Christmas
When you have the Christmas tree
up it doesn't mean that you have it
fixed up.
At Christmas time it is well
enough to ape the English as lar as
the plum pudding is concerned.
Some persons never wish YOU a
merry Christmas unless they think
they will get something for doing so.
Santa Claus would never make a
schoolmaster. Whatever is good he
puts at the foot OF the stocking.
Il we don't have baseball at Christ
mas we have the cricket on the
hearth.
The bachelor who puts his thumb
into the clearinghouse Christmas
pie is apt TO pull out collar button.
Don't buy your best girl present
on the lnstallment plan, as she
might jilt you before you had made
all the payments.

PATIENCE PAYS.

If you want a good appetite, don't
worry. II you want a healthy body,
don't worry. II you want things to 60
right in your homes or your business,
don't worry. Nervousness is Ii bane
of the race. 1t is not confined to the
women by any means, but extends to
the men as well. What good does
fetting do2 1t only increases with
indulgence, like anger, or appetite,
or love or any other human impulse.
1t deranges ones temper, eXcltes un-
pleasant feelings towards everybody,
and cOnfuses the mind. 1t affects the
whole person, unfls one for the proper
completion of the work whose trlfling

Strive to cultivate spirit OF patience,
both for your own good and the good
of those about you. y will never
regret the step, for it will not only add
to your own happiness, but the example
of your conduct will effect those with
whom you associate, and in whom you
are interested. Suppose somebody makes
a mistake, suppose you are crossed

a fretful mood will not mend matters,
but help 10 hinder the attainment Of
what you wish. Then when a thing
is beyond repair, waste no useless re
grets over it; and do no idle fretting.
Strive for that serenity of spirit that

GROWTH OF THE FACE.

During the past year investig atoms
upon The physical growth of children
have been conducted in the Worcester
schools. The preliminary tables on
the growth OF the female face bring out
some facts of considerable interest.
There seem to be three distinct periods,
the first ending about the seventh
year. and the third beginning about the
fifteenth year. A striking peculiarly is
the seemingly abrupt transition from
the types cf one period 20 those OF
the succeeding. The sudden disap-
pearance of the lower widths Of face,
and the equally sudden appearance OF
the types of the succeeding period,
{. e., the sudden shooting up of the
widths to almost adult dimensions at
about the age of or 9, Offset by the
equally sudden disappearance of the
distinctively childish characteristics at
the age of twelve and fourteen respec.
lively in the succeeding period. This
would seem to indicate t,.,e very slow
growth of some children until the ages
OF about eight and fourteen respectively
are reached, and then a very rapid
development Of each individual to her
proper position in the series. This Axel
Key found also to be true with respect
to the total height of the Swedish
children observed by him.
In the second period very many of
the forms a,e already adult, and If not
at their fullest dedevelopment, have
very nearly approached it. From the
fifth to the tenth year inclusive the
growth is somewhat slow, about, 6.5
millmeters in all, but for the next four
years, the period of adolescence, the
growth is 6.2 millimeters. From tht
fourteenth year on there is verv
advance the maximum seemir,
reached at about I2S m
the twentieth year.
