There is pipe fastened to opening in the

freely into the tank, 3, which is immediately filed,
thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which 10 on the

A SKYLAND SONG.

Charlotte Observer.
NV songs of home in the mountain:
Where the hills point up to the sky
Where the streams from pure crysta

Chant songs that are sweet going by
Where the airs full of sweetness and
vlgor,
Where the sky's the bluest of the
Where the stars grow brighter and big.
ger,
And days that are gloomy are few.
Where such things as sand-fies are
strangers,
Where nights that are hot never
come;
Where malaria and other like dangers
Are rare as the musquito's hum.
Where the sick and weak find bless

The tired and the weary find rest
And for those whose dreams are dis

There's sleep that is sweetest and
BEST
Where breezes steal down from their

Way up mid the fir-covered peaks,
And gentle and soft while you're sleep

Paint roses and pinks on your cheeks.
Then away, then away on the morrow
Away to the "Land Of the Sky"
Where we lose each care and each sor-
Where people grow old ere they die.

Keep The Shoes Dry.

Keeping the feet dry Is OF quite as
much importance in summer as in
winter, though many persons do not
seem to realize this.
In the heavy dews of morning and
evening the shoes get damp d suffer
seriously, even though the health does
not. 1t Is worth while, the New
York Ledger we'll says, to keep a strict
lookout as to the coverings of little
feet. When they come off at night 1t
is we'll to have all old stocking full of
dry oats or beans to put in the shoes ;
then tie string around the stocking
lust at the ankle, and set the shoes
away for the night. The grain will
not only draw out all the moisture
from the leather, but will keep the
shoes in shape without allowing them
to shrink.
Rubber-boots for men and boys may
be filled with beans or oats and dried
out when all other means may have
failed. There is nothing more un-
comfortable than to put on damp and
soggy shoe leather, and with fore
thought and precaution it is entirely
unnecessary.

Old Maryland Churches.
From the BALTIMORE Sun July %. 1891.


Rev. j. Gibson CAN'T, rector of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church of the Holy Com
forter gave his congregation description
of visit which he and Rev. f. j. c.
Moran, of Grace Church, Elkridge, made
last week to several of the old churches in
Southern Maryland.
They visited the parish of Rev. R. H.
Murphy, in Calvert county, and in three
days held seven services, preached twelve
times and travelled by water and land near
ly three hundred miles,
Mr.. CAN'T showed pictures of Middle
ham Chapel and Christ Church, Port Re-
public
Middleham Chapel has been place of
worship since 1899. In 1735 it was COM
pleted in brick, having been built at cost
of eighty thousand pounds of tobacco. In
the belfry is bell upon which is this in
scription:
"The gift of John Holdsworth to Mid
dleham Chappell, ammo Do. 1699."
Tombstones containing names and epi-
taphs century and a half old declared the
venerableness of the church. Mr. Murphy
told the congregation that Mr.. CAN'T, who
had addressed them, stood upon the spot
where over century before two of his own
name and kindred had preached as rectors.
The two clergymen also visited and
preached at Christ Church, Port Republic,
one of the Oldest and best-preseryed
churches in this State. The original build
ing was erected before 1892 About l735
the first brick building for the church was
erected at cost of 1905 pounds of to-
bacco, and it was substantially repaired in
1882. The vestry-room was at the en-
trance Of the church, as at Middleham
Chapel The church-yard is extensive and
filed with graves marked with old stones.

Vitality of Seeds.
From science for All.

ccleuco lOE ALL
How long will seeds preserve their vi
tality? So many fables have been and are
still being promulgated on this subject that
a few facts may not be unacceptable. The
seeds of the willow will not germinate after
having been once dry, and their germinat-
ing power is lost in two weeks even if
during that interval they have been kept
fresh. The seeds of coffee and various
other plants do not germinate after having
been kept for any considerable length of
time. The grains of wheat usually lose
their power of growth after a lapse of seven
years, though wheat over two centuries old
has been found quite capable of being used
for food The stories of"mummy wheat"
sprouting after having lain dormant in
Egyptian tombs for thousands of years are,
to say the least of them, very dubious.
No well authenticated instances of such
finds are extant, while among other articles
sold by the Arabs to credulous travellers,
as coming out of the same tomb as the an
cient wheat, have been dahlia bulbs and
maize, the deposition of which in the
receptacle from which they were said to
be extracted necessitates the belief that
5000 years ago the sub bjects of the Pharaohs
were engaged in commerce with America.
Rye and wheat only 1856 years old could
not be induced to germinate, the place of
the embryo being occupied by Shiny, pu-
trefying fluid. If, however, excluded from
light and air, and, above all, from damp,
seeds have been known to keep for length
ened periods. Seeds of the bean and pea
order have sprouted after 100 years stor-
age in an herbarium, and many similar in
stances have been recorded. Seeds disin-
tered from the soil taken from under very
ancient buildings and other situations have
also sprouted, though the estimates of their
age have been all the way from 800 to
2000 years. They cannot, however, be
considered beyond the range of skepticism.

Beside the monument, darkened stone
covers the grave of the soldiers wife; an
inscription to her memory looks forth from
a surface of the cenotaph. After the
many battles through which he passed are
over, the old warrior, in whose breast beat
the heart of a true lover of liberty, now
finds rest and peace in the tomb, in the
land for which he suffered that it might
be free; and we who now behold such lives
of sacrifice, should honor the works Of
those who fought and bled, and let not
their memory wane with fleeing years.
