opinions as to the wisdom Of issuing
bonds to erect school houses.
Without entering into a full dis
cussion of the whole subject, allow
me to say that l have carefully
considered this question. l am
fully convinced that the proper and
best policy is to issue the bonds for
the special purpose Of erecting the
necessary school buildings. l do
not believe that the money pro-
yided for running the schools
should be used as a building fund.
There should be a separate fund
provided for that purpose, Indeed
if there should be a little surplus in
the treasury of the School Board it
might be better to hold it and
lengthen the school term so as to be
able to draw all our apportlonment
from the State and at the same
time the County Commissioners
could reduce the annual levy in case
a special fund is secured for build
ing purposes.
AS to the present debt it is a.
ready male and must be paid IN one
of three ways:
1st. By cutting down the school
term to two or two and a-half
months, (Which would be but little
better than no SCHOOL,,
I'd. BY issuing the bonds and
paying the interest few years, thus
getting the benefit of the increase
of valuation and sletting those who
get the benefit help pay the cost of
new buildings.
3rd. BY levying the cost Of build
ings direct upon the present tax
payers.
The first would be injustice to
the children, the last would be I'M
fair to the present taxpayer.
The prospect now Is that in q
very few years there Will be quite
an increase in the value of property
IN Garrett county and a great many
persons will become taxpayers who
will be benefited by the increased
facilities for educating their chill
dreu. Certainly the wise policy
would be to issue bonds to build
school houses and always provide q
separate fund for that purpose.
| understand from the School
Board the $4,000 asked for Will
enable them to erect all the school
buildings now required IN the
county and should more be required
in future years there certainly will
be an increase Of taxable property
in proportion.
1t is to be hoped no one will vote
against this measure without care
fully considering the question in all
Of it's bearings,
Personally have the privilege Of
paying good round TAX and have
no children to attend the public
school. | prefer to let those who
come after me help to pay for what
they get.

Mr.. Roy Chisholm tells us that
the School Commissioners erected a
school house near Mr.. McCabe's in
this district in an open field. The
teacher purchased a few cheap
binds to protect the scholars eyes
from the sun and now the Board
refuses to reimburse the teacher
for same. They want us to vote FOR
school bonds. We want longer
terms of school and would vote for
the bonds but the way the Board is
doing it looks like they want to
press us to vote for the bonds or
have no school. We want good
schools and school houses and would
say to the Board visit Sang Run,
Elder, Sand Spring, Asher Glade,
Frazee Ridge, Mil Run and Hile-
man Ridge school houses and see
what they think of them. Some of
our farmers have as good sheep

whom was Jacob of Henry, and
Silas of Jacob. These were cOus-
ms in blood, but like their twin
fathers in attachment. They were
a little ambitious and romantic in
naturc-had heard and read allur
ing accounts Of the precious metals
in the Rocky mountains. Hand in
hand, as it were, twenty-five years
ago, they HE'D away to the Rock
les and went to digging for the
bullion that gives us our constitu-
tional money. They were compan-
ions and sharers in all the hardshipS
and privtaious that beset that
rugged occupation. They did well
while together for several years.
Home letters were sent and answer
ed for some years. But in time
disagreements arose between them
and likely quarrels. Next the two
lnseparable cousins parted to see
each other no more. Silas went to
a new region, and was unheard of
afterward. No letters were received
from him by any one. In iced he
has been regarded as dead Tor long
years, even in the settlement of
his fathers respectable estate years
ago. The parents grieved, and it
is said shortened their lives on
account Of his mysterious death.
Their agony was lncrease4,hy, a
rumor that his death was caused by
foul means through his cousin.
The disagreements gave color to
this suspicion. Ten years ago the
uniustly suspected cousin died, and
rumor had it with a heavy heart
and troubled conscience. This
caused the quiet suspicion to grow
stronger. Naturally there were
many saddened hearts among these
large families. But a long and
painful delusion has quite lately
been removed. The dead Silas is
really alive, among the Black Hills
Of Dakota, a hermit, digging for
gold, upon a pre-emptcd tract of
land. lie was discovered a short
while ago by David Compton, once
near neighbor at his old home.
As the lost one in his wanderings
received no letters or word from
home, he imagined himself forsa-
ken and forgotten by parents, broth
ers, sisters and all, Hence his long
mysterious and solitary life. But
since his moral restoration he has
written home satisfactory letters.
At Christmas he Will return to the
home Of his youth. The fatted
calf will be killed, not by the father
or mother, (too late for them) but
by three rejoicing brothers and six
Lying sisters, all close together ex-
cept one in Minnesota.
All this may seem somewhat
romantic and unreal, but it is as
true as it is strange. The return
of the lost one is happy piece of
fortune, not only for the living
kindred, but it lifts cloud ef sus-
picion that rested upon the memory
Of the dead cousin. He is and was
innocent of these unjust suspicious.
Here Is something to warn us to
be slow to believe grave charges or
reports in the absence of sufficient
proof.

BEsseMeR ON BEssEMER STEEL.

Marvellous Quickness In Converting Cast
Iron Into the Hardened Metal.
In The Engineering Review Sir Hen
ry Bessemer has an article on the steel
industry which bears his name. He re
minds us that third of century ago
Sheffield steel made from the costly bar
iron of Sweden realized from $50 to
$50 a ton. Now, by the Bessemer proc
ess, steel of excellent quality can be
made direct from crude pig iron at a
cost ridiculously small compared with
former prices and in quantities which
the old steel workers never dreamed of
dealing with at one operation.
In lieu of the slow and expensive
process of converting wrought iron bars
into crude or blister steel by 10 days
exposure at very high temperature to
the action of carbon, cast iron worth
only e3 a ton is, Sir Henry says, con-
verted into Bessemer cast steel in 30
minutes wholly without skilled manip-
ulation or the employment of fuel, and
while still maintaining its initial heat
it can at once be rolled into railway
bars or other required forms.
The article gives vivid picture of
all that has been brought about by this
revolution in a manufacture in which
up to our own time there had been no
change since blades of matchless temper
were wrought in the forges Of Damas-
Gus and Toledo. Steel is now adapted
to thousand purposes of which our
ancestors had no conception.
By way of giving some idea Of the
enormous production of Bessemer steel
now, Sir Henry asks us to imagine a
wall feet in thickness and 90 feet
high, like gigantic armor plate form
ed into circle and made to surround
London. The inclosure SO made would
extend to Watford on the north side, to
Croydon on the south, to Woolwich ON
the east and to Richmond on the west.
1t would contain an area Of 795 square
miles, and this great wall of London,
weighing 10, 500, 900 tons, would just
be equal to one years production Of
Bessemer steel.

old chap came into my Office and said
that he had read in the newspapers that

it were true. When / told him that
it was so, he revealed to me a new
method of gaining oratorical distino-
tion. He volunteered to interrupt my
speech at stated intervals with remark
that should be agreed upon between u.s.
To this interjection I was to retort wit
tily, and thus, as the old fellow pointed
out, would acquire reputation as a
witty speaker.
my first impression was that he was
amusing himself at my expense, but he
repeated to me several things I could
reply to wittily and wanted me to pay
him roundly for helping me to a reputa-

to that kind of fame, and he went away
disappointed. Not very long after that

speaker, when who should arise in the

me with. The orator answered him with

THE ORIGIN OF MAN.
Ancient Beliefs That Trees Were the An.
cestors of the Humnn Race.


The descent of the human race from
some particular species Of tree is one of
the Oldest myths that can be found run
ming through the folk stories of every
nation. In Virgil we find reference
to the race of linen who took their birth
from trunks of trees" and among some
of the early commentators on that
statement we even find speculations as
to the particular species of tree from
which the race sprung. The very earliest
Egyptians as well as those who lived
hinder later dynasties had legend of
the tree Of life," and many of the
leading Investigators, both ancient and
modern, have expressed the opinion
that from Egypt came the Biblical story
of the ''tree of knowledge of good and
evil" which graced the original garden
made by the All Wise for our first par
ents.
Professor Thistelton (see his "Folk
Lore of Plants'O believes that the Scrip
tural narrative cited is survival of the
belief in the tree descent of man, "
and that the abiding faith of mankind
in the tradition again crops out in Rev
elation, where the "tree of life"
plays as important part as that of the
famous tree mentioned in the first book
of the Bible The natives of Madagascar
have tradition which is believed and
perpetuated among them to the effect
that the first man was born alive from
tree, and that he Immediately set

among them, and King, in his Life
