The appointment of State constables
for Waldo county came before the Goy-
ernor and Council last week for final
determ lation. There has been Il long
contest over the matter ami several
hearings have taken place.
The Executive Council determined
that the law was not being faithfully en-
forced by county or local officers and
recommended to the Governor the APP
pointmcnt of State constables. Under
this finding of the Council, the law re-
quires that the Governor shall appoint
two or more constahles for such county.
As soon rs the action of the Executive
Council was made known, the Governor
Immediately nominated Hon. j. Il.

RAISING WILLOW FOR THE MARKET.
A Crop which Needs Harvesting but Once
Every Four Years.

livery rOuf
In beautiful sweep of lowland north
of Melvale- station on the Northern
Central railroad and about nine miles
from Baltimore there is a peculiar farm.
1t is peculiar in that it renders to its
owner and tiller but one crop in four
years, and that crop of willow shoots.
The farmer, Antoine Spath, came from
Frankfort, Germany, many years ago
and after erecting himself comforta-
BILE stone house, which still stands in
the midst of picturesque clump of
willows. at the end of the little valley
set about planting his first crop of will
low shoots. Every year since he has
gone on planting row after row until
the valley has become covered with
them. Spath had learned the art Of
weaving willow ware in his boyhood
days by the shores of the Main river
and as fast as his little plantation grew
he gathered the shoots, stripped them
Of their green covering. and after dry
ing them woye baskets of every con
ceivable form and size
1t seems rather peculiar work in
this country" said the willow farmer,
speaking of his business, but in all
parts of Europe, especially in the Ger
man provinces. it is very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow weavers, for there willow is
used in many forms and for greater
number of purposes than | find it used
in this country. In Germany and
France willow is employed in making at
least 20 different kinds of bird cages,
while in America metal is used-brass
or iron wire-and different woods
Among the best families in European
countries cradles, woven by German
workers, may be found constructed en-
tirely of willow. Then there are a
hundred and one shapes of marketing
baskets, baskets used by milliners and
laundresses, baskets and panniers to be
carried upon the backs of man and
beasts for holding fish and fowl. In
preparing the willow for the weaver
we plant the slips in long rows paral-
lei with "a running stream of water and
cut them when they have attained four
years of growth. The cutting time is
early in the spring before the sap is
done running. and after tying them in
bundles they are placed in ponds of
water to keep them in green state I'M
til ready for stripping. Stripping the
willow is accomplished by drawing the
switches through and between two
heavy iron stanchions, whose edges peel
the light green bark from the white
heart, and then, after drying or curing
them upon long racks. we have got the
willow in Il form for the weaver. 1t
was many years after | planted this
farm with willows before any one
thought of initiating my example, but
now there are several other plantations
located upon the Washington and An
napolis roads, and though you may find
quite as busy scenes there you will
scarcely find more picturesque place
than this anywhere, and that was one
of the reasons that led me to settle
here. Baltimore American

Fog Signaling.

A method of fog signaling has been
introduced on several branches of the
North London system of the Great
Northern railway of England which
obyiates much of the unreliability and
completely of the systems hitherto used.
A wire is laid in pipe from the signal
box to the various signals, at which
brushes of copper project some four or
1--WE inches above the side of the rail
nearest the signal. A simila; brush,
which connects with an indicator and
bell on the engine, is fixed to the en-
CINE foot plate. When the signal points
to danger, the two brushes come in con
tact, and the ringing Of the bell and the
warning of the driver by miniature
signal on the engine that the line is not
clear are the result. The arrangement
can be readily switched OFF in fine
weather 80 as to become imperative.
This electric device seems to be the most
simple as well as the most efficient
means yet resorted to for fog signaling,
and the Great Northern railway intends
to adopt it over the whole of its lines.-
