A Gallant Remark.

1t is said this is not an age of chival-
nv. There is much evidence in hand to
prove that, whether the days of knight
errancy have passed or not, this certain
ly is an age of gallantry. There was
much of this quality, for instance, i'll the
young man who had but recently been
married to young girl, who, though
short of stature, was person OF great
beauty, who is reported TO have said
s'she would have been taller. but she |;

Nature could not afford it,"

qualities of mind and disposition tC

asks us why gold is drained from the

heavier than the imports; another wants
to know why it is, if the Silver law is
the cause of the drain of gold that so

that accounts in part for the outward

experiment station at College Park. Md.
He will make a special study of the in
furious insects of the state, on which sub
ject a bulletin Is soon to be issued. The
experiment station. which was established
in 1886 under the provisions of the Hatch
act, Is now beginning to yield practical
results. Part Of the grounds of the Agri-
cultural College were assigned for the sta
ton farm. The building in use as the
headquarters of the station is what was
at one time known as the "Rosburg Inn, -
on the old Washington and Baltimore turn
pike.
The board of trustees Of the State Agri-
cultural College have the management OF
the station, and the two institutions were
placed under one executive and so con-
tinued until last year, when It was deemed
advisable to separate them under different
heads. Capt. r. w. Sylvester was made
