CLAYTON April 1S.-Now that the Legisla-
ture has adjourned and his excellency
Farmer Brown" has seen fit, in consequence
of the objections of Baltimore capitalists, to
put the Assessment Bill in his pocket, the
poor farmers of Maryland will have to go to
work and make money enough to satisfy the
taX-gatherer when he comes around next
time Our capitalists and bondholders, in the
mean time, are taking their ease-at least for
two years. when it is to be hoped that the
Democrats of Maryland will see to it that men
will be sent to the General Assembly who will
push the matter so vigorously that our worthy
Governor will be compelled to sign a proper
assessment law or else have it passed over his
veto, so that every citizen may be compelled
to pay due proportion of the county and
State expenses.
Unfavorable weather still retards spring
work. Oats have generally been sown, but
planting of corn and potatoes progresses
slowly. There will be large acreage OF to-
matoes and sweet corn for canning.

Letter from Upper Hartford.

CONSTITUTION, April 1S.-Easter services al
St. Mary's Catholic Church, Deer Creek, were
well attended. The church was crowded and
many were unable to get inside. The altar
was tastefully decorated with Easter flowers,
evergreens, etc. The music was well rendered.
Rev. T. H. Wright, postmaster at Constitu.
ton, has returned from attending the NJ. P.
Conference at Pocomoke City, Nd. He will
probably receive an appointment at the June
General Conference.
The Epworth League of Fellowship Church
gave an Easter entertainment, on Good Fri
day evening. The attendance was good. The
exercises included recitations by Misses Laura
Love and Annie Metzel; solo by Miss Annie
Bulett Easter dialogue, by II members.
Miss Alice Glackin, teacher at Lapidum
school, was at her home near Fawn Grove,
during the Easter holidays.
Miss Savannah Almoney, who has been i'll
all winter, returned to her school, Mt. Horeb,
on Tuesday. Mr.. NJ F. Bennington was in
charge during her illness.
Mr.. B. F. Painter, of Beckleysville, is photo
graphing the schools of the fourth district.
Now that Arbor Day is past, with many
trees planted, the most important part of the
work yet remains to be done in caring for the
trees and in protecting those already on the
school grounds.
A good deal of disappointment is felt on
account of Gov Browns failure to approve
the Free Book Bill, as it was confidently eX-
pected he would sign it. SYLMAR.

OF course the Democrats are greatly
elated at their victory in New York and
in a boastful mood. One prominent
member of the party is quoted as declar-
ing that New York will not have another
Republican Senator in the next hundred
years. How silly such prediction is
needs only a glance at the history of
elections in this country to show. No
advantage that a party can obtain by the
most szillful gerrymander can be counted
on as permanent. New questions are
constantly arising and upsetting the cal
culations of the most far seeing politi-
clans. A man hazards good deal who
undertakes to predict what will happen
year hence, but when he undertakes to
extend his vision over a hundred years
he simply makes himself ridiculous.
The Democrats in New York have un-
doubtedly gained an important tempo
rary advantage. Itmay last few years
or it may be swept away at the very next
election. Much depends upon how they
use it. The more wisdom they show the
longer they will keep it, and the more
recklessly partisan the use they make of
it the more ephemeral it will be. People
can judge for themselves how judiciously
it is likely to be used by party which
recognizes David B. Hill as its head and
Tammany Hall as its chief moving force.

The official of leading railway COM
pany tells good story about one of the
engine drivers of his line. The engine
driver was growing old, and frequent
reports were made to the directors that
his eyesight was not as good as it should
be. This the old man stoutly denied,
but nevertheless there is every reason
to believe that his eyes were getting a
trife dim. However, he stoutly main
tanned that his eyes were not only strong,
but phenomenally strong, and that these
criticisms were made by jealous fellow
ngine drivers.
The test for eyesight on that line was
made by doctor who lived in house
facing large common. When he wished
to test the mems eyes he used to say,
'Look over there and see what you can
see." This fact had got known to the
employees of the railway, and when tho
old engine driver was going to be ex-
a1nined he arranged with his son that he
should take his bicycle about half mile
across the common and stcop down and
oil it.
In due course the old engine driver was
led to the window and the doctor said,
as usual, "What can you seeY'
The old man peered ont and said:
"Well, | see a young man STOPPING
down beside a bicycle"
"Do you?" replied the doctor; 81 can
not see anything at ALL"
"Gammon" said the engine driver;
"can't you see it? Why, he's oiling it,"
On this the doctor took up pair of
field glasses on the table and looking
out behind quite plainly saw a young
man STOPPING down oiling his bicycle.
Magnificent sightT" he said; 'mag-
niicent" and to this day the engine
driver is taking his forty shillings a
week with striking regularity. - Ex-

Tanning Eides.

Of late years there has been much talk
of tanning hides by electricity, and sew
eral methods have been tried, but with
Indifferent success. There is no doubt,
however, but that electricity does greatly
aid in the tanning process. In the old
days of tanning, the hides, after being
dehaired and made ready, were placed
in the tan watts, and there allowed to re-
main untouched and undisturbed for
from nine to twelve months, and in some
cases even longer, until the tannin in
the liquors, thoroughly uniting with the
hides, had converted them into leather.
But after q time it was discovered that
by putting the hides into revolving
wheel Or drum, which had first been par
TALLY filed with the tan liquors, the time
necessary to convert them into leather
was greatly shortened. New York Ad-

Doctrine of Nautilus and the Food supply

Doctrine of Nautilus and the Food Supply.
The doctrine of Nautilus regarding the
future food supply of the world and the
ultimate starvation of portion of the
race has been greatly misrepresented,
but even the most favorable interpreta-
ton is a gloomy one. Briefly stated, the
theory is that population increases in a
geometrical and food supply in an arith-
metical ratio; and hence the time must
come when there will not be food enough
Perhaps the simplest and most correct
reply to this theory is that the assump-
ton that the race increases and viii con-
tinue to increase in geometrical ratio is
NOT borne out by observed facts. The
theory that the food supply increases in
only arithmetical ratio, and must ulti-
mately reach its limit, is doubtless nearer
the truth. But while there is limit to
the possible production of food, it tran
sends all the ideas that ever occurred to
Nautilus or to the people of his time.
1t has always been assumed that the
capacity of the soil to produce plants is
measured by what is popularity called its
fertility-that is to say, the amount of
production possible under ordinary con-
ditions Of culture. The science of to-
day, however, shows this measure to be
incorrect, and the practice of agriculture
Is already beginning to add its testimony
toThe same effect. And remarkable as
is the story told in market gardening, in
the reclaiming of the desert and in irri-
cation, it is only the first chapter of a
tale the already attested wonders of
which almost rival those of the arabian
Nights. Professor Atwater in Century.

Senator Gibson of Louisiana, whose
opinion ought to be valuable, predicts
that the Lottery Company will not be
able to survive the present campaign.
Senator Gibson points out that the big
bride which the company offers for a re-
newal of its charter in the shape of a
yearly contribution of $350,00O for the
maintenance and repair of the levees is
not likely to prove SO seductive as it APP
pears at first sight, because if the State
should accept this money from the lot
terry company it would get nothing from
the United States. AS the State has FREE
quently got ten times that sum in sin
gle year from the national government it
will be seen that acceptance of the com
pany's offer would really involve
a big loss. Senator Gibson thinks
the people are fast waking up to the real
situation, and hence are coming to look
with much less favor on the lottery COM
pany's proposition.

The Ohio Senatorial contest has
reached the bribery stage, that is to say
it has reached the stage where the sup
porters of each of the contestants are ac-
cusing one another of the use of money
to procure votes. 1t seems to be newt
able that every senatorial contest should
reach that stage sooner or later. How
much truth there is in the charges and
counter-charges that are being made in
Ohio it is impossible to say. Neither of
the rival candidates would we believe,
stoop to any such means, but each of
them may be afflicted with some fool
feuds. 1t is these scandals and the con-
clusion that is apt to flow from them
that only very rich men stand any chance
to get into the Senate that are alternating
the public from the present plan of
choosing Senators and producing grow
ing demand for their election by the
people.

enough to condemn it, There are other
and more serious ones. A pedagaigos in
old Greece was a slave who led his mas
ter's children to school. The modern
school teacher rightfully boasts that he
is one of the most independent and most
valuable members of society and that
his occupation is second in Importance to
none. Why then adopt name that sug-
gests even remotely form of degrade
ton or inferiority? In modern times the
word pedagogue has become
associated with pedantry, and is
rarely applied to a teacher except
sneeringly. Who it was that fished out
pedagogical from the obscurity into
which it had very properly lapsed
and ordained that the citizen of Maine
at time of year when the weather in
tlicts upon him burdens quite grievons
enough should have his jaws racked and
his tongue all twisted up in the effort to
circumvent that word we do not know.
We are inclined to be charitable and to
conclude that he didn't bear society any
malice, and that his error was one of the
head rather than of the heart. Very
likely he builded worse than he knew.
However that may be there is fine OPP
portunity for somebody to earn the I'M
dying gratitude of his fellow countrymen
by expunging the word from the title of
this association and substituting there
for civilized term. What's the matter
