MARRIAGE MAxlMS.

Better wait than sever.
 It's never too late to wed.
 Rule by appearing to submit.
 \ hungry husband is hard to coax. Let husband loose in a fenced field. The shorter the bill the sweeter the fare A husbands wrath spells the best broth. Govern yourself, and you will govern each other
 One kind thought spoken is worth two unsaid.
 A sullen silence works more mischief than a royal row. pected guest.
 It isn't every wife can laugh at her hus- bands jokes.
 It's cross grained wife that will scold in a new bonnet.
 Always remember that you have eyelids as we'll as eyes.
 It takes man to talk economy-a wom- an to practice it.
 Better marry a praying sinner than a preaching saint.
 If you've picked up a crooked stick, don't tell every one so.
 Man is the head of the house, but woman the neck that turns it.
 An ounce of tobacco calms more troubled waters than ton of oil
 4 sensible husband in hand is worth a dozen heroes in dreamland.
 If you feel like pair of scissors, don't choose penknife to live with.-New York Advertiser

A MOST MYSTERIOUS VISION.
An Uncanny Dream In Which Major AT
 dre's Fate Was DeDicted,

dre's Fate Was Depicted.
 The following instance may serve to strikingly justify Colquhoun's theory that there is an original spiritual ener- gy expressed in dreams which has noth- ing to do with the state of the body and is beyond the power of the soul when it has been reabsorbed by the material or ganization on awaking.
 Prior to his embarkation for America at the outbreak of the Revolutionary war Major Andre went to visit a friend, Miss Rebecca Steward, who lived in Derbyshire. During his stay it was ar ranged that they should ride over to view the wonders of the famous Peak. It was also Miss Stewards desire to in troduce the major to some friends in the neigh borhood, including a MT. Newton and the curate of the parish, MT. Gun ningham. She had given both these gen. tlemen notice of her intention, and while awaiting her arrival MT. Gun ningham took occasion to tell MT. New ton the circumstances of a dream ho had had the night before, which affect ed him so that he could not shake off the recollection of it.
 He said that he was standing in the midst of a forest that was entirely strange to him. After gazing listlessly around him for few moments he per ceived horseman approaching at great speed. As the latter came opposite the spot where the dreamer stood three men who seemed to have been lying in am, bush sprang from their place of con cealment, and seizing the bridle of tine horse ordered the rider tn dismount. They then carefully searched his person and led him away. The face. figure and bearing of the horseinan made so deep an impression upon MT. Cunning ham mind that he awokc, but falling asleep again pres ently dreamed that he was one of thrCng of spectators near a great city: that he saw the same per son he had seen seized in the wood brought out between files of soldiers, who marched him to a gallows and there hanged him. When Major Andre and Miss Steward arrived, MT. Cunning ham was horror struck to discover in the person of Miss Steward s friend the very man whose seizure and execution he had witnessed in his dream.
 Here was an accurate anticipation of events that actually happened within 12 months from the date of the dream. The capture of Andre, the search of his person for documents that convicted him for acting the part of a spy and his public execution constitute one of the most dramatic episodes of the contest with the mother country. How is it imaginable that so definite a vision of coming events could arise from the in huence of any physical condition on the mind of the sleeper? What possible state of the body could confer upon the soul the power to describe future occur rences with such exact fidelity to de tails?-New York Times.

His Reasons.

People sometimes ask me why spell my name with two n's," said Repre- sentative Hermann. When I was a student in Maryland years ago, got the idea into my head that I would fol low the fashion and eliminate the extra letter. I started in by writing to my father, a respected and prominent physi- clan in Baltimore, and signing it in the improved way, Your affectionate son, Binger Herman. My father quickly detected the change, and back came a letter whose earnest reproaches l have never forgotten.
 "He pointed out that the name stood for one of the greatest heroes of antiq uity, Armenius. the Hermann of Taci tus, who stood like bulwa1k against Roman lust of conquest, and to whose leadership the ancient Germans owed the preservation of their nationality, their language and their freedom. He said that name was given me by those who alone had the authority to confer it, and with their consent the name should never be altered, even in respect to letter. The rebuke 1 received so impressed me that 1 concluded if the name was good enough for my father it would be good enough for me. "-Wash- ington Post.

A SEASON OF SILKS.
Reviva1s of Many Old Fashioned Fabrics,
 Including Lutestring and Taffeta.


 If one may believe as high authority m matters pertaining to dress and fash ion as Harper's Bazaar, we are to have a season of silks. Among revivals of many old fashioned fabrics French manufac- turers are showing lutestring silks like those worn half a century ago, when Queen Victoria was young. These are soft to the touch, yet are stoutly woven and very lustrous, like taffeta. They come in quaint chine designs of flowers and dashes of vivid colors on pale grounds.
 Moire taffeta is announced among the light silks. These are strong, yet light of weight, and have shot grounds, with large moire designs, and either chine fig ures or fine dots of the color least in evi dence. Pale mauve moire taffeta is shot with pink, green with brown, violet with black and light blue with black. Dark blue taffeta watered ill large waves and dotted with white will make the coolest looking of all dark dresses for summer, and brown taffeta shot with violet is also effective. White moire taffeta pointille with color is for summer evening wear. Fine cross stripes of color, scarcely more than two threads each, are in pink and nile green on black taffeta, and small chine leaves are added in the color of the stripes.
 Chine designs promise to be the fea- ture of next season in goods of various kinds, both of silks and of wool, with hard twisted smooth surfaces. Chine and clouded taffeta will be used for shirt waists and for the plastrons of plain wool dresses. They are in charming shades of mauve, gray blue and ecru, and are usually of two or three colors shot together. A frill below the belt will be a feature in many shirt waists, giving the popular effect of a short basque.
 Liberty satins are imported for short waists in dark shades of blue, strewn with square dots of white set in irregu- lar clusters. Ecru satins have very tiny black dots clustered together. Black satins for entire dresses are shown in new weave of slight reps, known as arabian satin.
 For the silk gown that is now worn on 3 greater number of occasions than for merly for both street and house are dark taffetas, pin dotted or striped, or else soft twilled silks with heavier diagonals than those of surah. These can be had in great variety for $1 yard. Richer ben galines, with waving cords, and many repped silks, blending two or three col ors most harmoniously, are $1.50 yard. At some of the best shops dress lengths of black or of colored silks are sold for $23. The economist who knows how to combine colors and fabrics can do still better than this by using two remnants in the same gown-one of five or six yards for the waist and sleeves, the other of 10 yards for the skirt and its trimming

A QUAINT CAPITAL.
The City of Annapolis Celebrates Her Two
 Hundredth Anniversary.

Special Correspondence.l
 ANNAPOLIS, March 6.-This little city has been for 200 years the capital of the province and state, and the civic authori- ties are celebrating the anniversary with fitting ceremonies. If some historians are right, the town was settled almost half a century before it became the capital, and St. Mary's, the earlier seat of government, is even older than Annapolis
 Perhaps no other small city on this con- tinent has so many delightful examples of colonial architecture. The place is in out ward appearance worthy of its quaint his tory. A little city of less than 6, ,000 inhab- itants, with all the belongings, however, Of a city government, and traditions run ming back to the days when the birthday of the lord proprietary was celebrated with pomp and ceremony, it is in some respects more like European than an American town. The town was settled perhaps as early as 164S or 1850 by dissenters driven out from Episcopal Virginia. They were sturdy and somewhat quarrelsome little colony, and they promptly declared for the commonwealth after the governor of Ma ryland had proclaimed Charles II king in the stead of his lately beheaded father. So noisy was the opposition of the dissenters of Annapolis that the governor went with ships and armed men in 1855 to subdue them. But he was met with armed resist ance. "Hey for Saint Mare!" was the cry of the governors s troops, and the stern reply of the dissenters was "In the name of God, fall on." They did "fall on" with such effect that they defeated the govern or's troops, captured the governor him. self and actually threatened to put him to death. That early triumph of the Annapolis men was the prelude to their later triumph, when at length, in 1894, they managed to have the seat of gov ernment transferred from Catholic St. Mary's to their own town. Annapolis had borne various names up to this time, and it retained the name of Anne Arundel un-

First Lesson In Guitar Playing.

First of all learn the letter names of the strings. There are seven letters used to name the tones of the guitar-E, F, G, A, B, c, D-which are repeated over and over again three times to provide name for each tone. The beginner should first learn the letter names of the strings
 then the tones made by pressing the strings will be easily located. The first three gut strings are E. B, G. The three bass (silver wrapped) strings are D, A, E.
 Strictly speaking, the open strings may make many tones of different pitch, de- pending on the tension of the string, but

Games Won and Lost by the Big Three

Some lover of billiards who has closely followed the sport has figured that since 1871 Jacob Schaefer has won 20 games to George F. Slosson's 10 at all styles of bil- lizards. At the straight rail games Slosson has won games to Schaefer's 2; at the champions game, which provides for tri- angular balk lines drawn on the cloth at each corner of the table Slosson has won f, Schaefer ?; at balk line billiards Slossun has won s, Schaefer 13; at cushion caroms, Slosson has won 8, Schaefer ?.
 As between Ives and Schaefer since Ives became phenomenal player, Schacfer has won three and Ives three. They have met only at the balk line game of billiards. The issue between SlossOn and Ives, since the latter has met all corners, is four for Ives and one for Slosson at balk line game only.

DEMOCRATS. even those who are person ally opposed to some of the changes made, are glad that the senate finance committee has al last got the tariff bill in a shape to make its passage by the senate certain. It k really surprising, in view of the radi- cal change made by taking sugar, iron ore, coal and lead ore from the free list and putting n duty upon them. that the demo- cruts of the house are not louder in their objections. But they regard the matter from a common sense point of view, know ing that the democrats of the senate finance committee yielded nothing that it was not absolutely necessary to yield Tn order to get the votes necessary to pass the bill, and also that they will have another chance at the changes when the bill goes to conference after it's passage by the sen- ate. The republicans of the finance com mttee would like to waste A month or so by keeping the tariff bill in committee, but the democrats will not allow any such time If they will agree to have the bill reported in a week the democrats will all low them that much time; if not, the bill will be reported sooner without their con- sent.

TIE report of the bureau of statistics concerning immigration for the last year contains very interesting review of the arrival of immigrants since the beginning of the records, which date from October l, 1920 Since that time the total number of immigrants landing on the shores of the United States from foreign countries has been l7,ll3. 99S souls. Of these the greater number came during the eriod from 1881 and 1890. the total for that decade being 5.246, ,613, or nearly one third of the whole. Germany stands first in the number of subjects she has con trlbuted to the population of the United States, f. 4S4 ,4S0, or more than one-fourth of the entire number. Ireland comes xt with 3,641 4SO.
