Manassas

Let those who are haunted with suspi-
cions of heart disease, and even those who
have good reason to know that they are sul-
fering, take courage from story told by the
late Sir Andrew Clark in the course of a
clinical lecture at the London hospital AT.
ter reminding the young students of the me-
cessity for caution in the 'prognosis' or fore
cast of the progress of this disease, Sir An
drew went on to relate an anecdote of a
house governor of that very hospitals
clergyman who was about to be married.
His intended father-in-law came TO him and
said you see, you have no money, sir,
you must 60 and get your life insured" AT
the end of the medical examinations the
physicians said to him. 1--WE cannot accept
you" "Why?" said the astonished house
governor. "Oh, we would rather not say
But" be said, 81 have never been ill in
my life" land indeed he was sturdy fell
low. "WeIl," said the physicians, "if you
will have it, you have got heart disease. =
"Heart disease How long shall live
Shall live for six months ?" "0h, yes, u
replied the medical men, you may do that. y
He went home and the match was broken
off, He wrote to the committee saying that
as he had mortal disease of the heart and
could not live for six months, he withdrew
his application for rooms wherein to dwell
with his wife, On the receipt of this letter
the committee deiberated and said: ave
must superannuate him, poor fellow, and
as he has but six months to live we will let
him have his full pay" Accordingly be
was superannuated upon his full pay, and
upon this superannuity he lived more than
fifty years.

Farm Fires.

Fire insurance companies writing farm
risks state that a cold wave causes corre-
spending wave Of claims, and that IN winter
time the loss records will furnish reliable
data as to the periods as we'll as the location
of the severe weather. So many reasons
are assigned for the unpro6tableness of farm
property, from an underwriting standpoint,
that it would seem impossible that any more
could exist; and this last claim that farm
property is being used for thermometrical
purposes would impress itself at first as be-
ing ridiculous were it not, in fact, strongly
insisted upon by many underwriters whose
word is even better than their bond.
This class of property being isolated, and
usually cheap in construction, 1t is necessa-
~ to have hot fires in cold weather. Es'
pecially in sections where wood is used for
fuel, the heat is not steady, and defective
lues are numerous. Thus it comes about
that cold weather, hot fires and numerous
claims are CO incident.
Az underwater who has been looking
over the returns on farm property in the
east for 1898 says: "As usual the years re-
suits show loss ratio of over 100 per cent.
and we are out the expenses of getting the
business. There does not seem to be any
possibility Of making farm property pay
its own way without a sharp advance IN
rates. Depreciation in farm buildings Is
more rapid than the addition in value by
new buildings or repairs to old structures
and it is probable that the loss ratio Will
increase rather than decrease. II is becom
ing serious question with agents writing
this business as to where to place it, so many
companies are declining it.
1.-THE completion of every improbable
year adds additional companies to the liSl
of those prohibiting farm property, and i
will soon become problem for the farmer
as to where be can find indemnity. The
most careful selection has little apparent
effect, and, although we baye written Thu
business more or less for several years, w
are almost discouraged when we think o
the possibility of the class remaining as un
profitable for the next ten years as 1t has 10
the last ten"

Large Newspapers Not Blessing.

The last issue of Archbishop Ireland's pa
per, the Northeastern Chronicle, has this
editorial note of what a journal OF contem-
poraneous human interest ought to be;
"Aside from the positively pernicious
effect of the big bric-a- brsc editions of our
Sunday papers, it must not be forgotten that
they are great time killers. They dress up
descriptions of crimes and nothings in a
fascinating manner and thus steal precious
hours from victims over whom they have
cast sort OF spell. Our large newspaper
is not blessing; it is not necessity 1t IS
not even good. That publisher is bene-
factor who gives his readers only what is
useful and gives it to them in as small
space as possible. Some object to paper
because, they say, it is too small. it is
great mistake to judge a paper by the guam
tity of printed matter in it. A better test
TO apply is the question how much can be
got out of it?"

nenrness Cnnnot be Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused By an inaamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed Deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
cstarrh, which is nothing but an inhsmed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The nstone,calp, Jackson Medals.

A Frenchman, who was great admirer oil
the character of General ''StOnewall" Jack
son, short time before the termination OF
the war between the States, had medals
struck with the view of furnishing each
member of the immortal Stonewall Brigade
with one of them. These medals had been
lost till recently, when portion Of them
two barrels-were found in an old warehouse
in Savannah, Ga, into which port they were
run through the blockade, and have remain
ed there since. 1t is hoped that there are
enough to supply each surviving member oil
that heroic brigade with one of these SOU
venir medals, and there is nothing they
would more highly prize and safely keep to
hand down to their children and graudchil-
dren.
The medal is quite large, perhaps two
and one half inches in diameter. The frame
is of some metal painted black and holds a
medallion bearing picture of Stonewall
jackson aud this inscription Lieutenant
General T. j. Jackson STANDARDIZATION,
1921; died 1S63-Deo Vindici." On the
reverse side is handsomely engraved the fol-
lowing list of battles in which the brigade
took part: Fredericksburg, Harper's Ferry,
Shepherdstown, Bull Run, Chantily. Mar
tinsbuig, Antietam, the Wilderness. Kerns-
town, Front Royal, Middletown. Winches-
ter, Strasburg, Harrsonburg, Port Repab-
lie, Mechanicsville, Cold Harbor, White
Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain,
Manassas.
Capt. Charles S. Arnall, of Atlanta, Ga,
a native of this county, the gallant adjutant
for several years of the Stonewal Brigade,
and who served with distinguished bravery
throughout the war, and who is highly es-
teemed By all who know him, deserves great
credit for the steps he has taken to have
these recently found medals to go to those
for whom they were designed.-'Sdanton

The solid Democratic vote for the Wilson

70 the Republicans who have been exultlug
over the apparently irreconcilable differ
ences among Democrats in Congress and
their seeming inability Ito get together
long enough to do anything. When out Of
some two hundred Democratic member
representing the diverse interests of all
sections Of the country, all classes Of people
and all forms Of industry, all but seventeen
are found willing to imPeril their political
prospects, sacrifice their preference AS to

some cases to sweeping changes IN laws
enacted for the benefit of their most iuaueu-
tial constiluents-eOming loyalty to The

conclusion is justifable that the party Of

Old Mother Goose's Real aud True His
tory.

All the little maids and men who have
followed the fortunes of little Miss Muffet
and Dickie Oliver, who have known Moth
er Hubbard and laughed at Humpty Dump
tvs misfortunes, may like to hear that the
Mother Goose rhymes were really made for
little children by dear old lady, whose
name was Goose, who lived with a family
named Fleet that kept a little shop in Pud-
ding lane, Boston. Could more appropri-
ate place of residence for Mother Goose be
found than Pudding lane, unless, perchance,
there be such locality as Pie alley?
And this dear old lady used to sit on the
sidewalk outside the window and make up
doggerels for the little Fleet urchins. She
had a sweet note in her soft old voice and a
way of grooming these rhymes and tunes
that attracted all the children in the lane,
and brought much custom to the shop in
directly. So the shopkeeper, at the request
of his patrons. printed the rhymes and gave
them away, aud in this way the old lady be-
came known as Mother Goose, and her
quaint doggerel became the dearest treasure
of nursery lore. The old lady whose verses
one would rather have written than all the
classics, because they have been SO greatly
beloved by little children, is buried in the
Granary cemetery. not far from the grave
of Paul Revere. The stone at the head o.
the grave has crumbled, but wild violet'
and ferns mark her resting place.-Er
