THE BALTIMORE AND NORTHERN RAILROAD.
The York Weekly says that the survey for
the Baltimore and Northern Railroad, which
was recently completed at Red Lion, will
come to that town via Winterstown and the
junction of the Baltimore and Lehigh and the
new road will be in the east end of Red Lion
The length of the line from Baltimore to Red
Lion will be only thirty seven miles, making
the line from Baltimore via Red Lion to York
only forty-six miles. A survey for the road
from Red Lion to Chiclies had been made
few years ago following stream to the P. r.
R., where they will cross it overhead about
two miles above Wrightsvile The present
indications are that the road will be COM
menced soon.

FISHERMEN READY.-The seine fishermen at
the head waters of the bay are ready to begin
operations. The OILERS are already at work
between Spesutia Island and Pooe's Island,
but have not yet met with much success. 1t
is believed that the catch will be larger than
for many years past and the fishermen have
made preparations to pack all the herring
they may take
There are twelve large seines operated at
the head of the bay, viz: j. 0smond & Co.
two, near Battery !; j. E. jackson & Co. two,
on Spesutia Island Silver, Spencer & Co. two,
near Lapidum; Coolehan & Hogan, two, one
off Old Bay shore aud one on Spesutia Island :;
Coale 81 Bailey one near Perry Point Philip
Spencer, one, near Lapidum; 2. X. Barnes &
Co. one, at Carpenters Point, and James c.
Crothers one, at Red Bank.
EASTER SERvICEs.-The religious services
in the Protestant Episcopal and Catholic
churches of the county, on Easter Sunday,
were of bright and joyous character, appro-
pirate to the 'sQueen of Festivals

Just the Opposite.

An Irishman who was employed in
the iron works in a Western town
was advised by his physician to seek
some employment where the labor
was less severe, on account Of an en-
largement of the heart. He pro-
ceeded, therefore, to set up small
grocery, which was well patronized
by his friends.
He was not in the habit Of dimin-
ishing his prospects of financial sue
cess by giving "down weight" and
one afternoon, when customer asked
for pound of sugar, he added pinch
by pinch until the scale barely turned.

half pounds of fat pork, three ounces
OF salt, half an ounce OF summer
savory, three-quarters Of an ounce of
sage, and an ounce Of ground pepper
Chop the meat thoroughly, add the
seasoning, mix in with the hands,
and chop again. Sausage meat like
this Is much better than when 1t Is
packed in little cases, as it usually is
in the butchers shops.
The ordinary way Of frying sausages
is not the best way Of cooking them.
A far better one is to put them in
the oven on an ordinary baking tin,
turning them from one side to an
other until they are brown on both
sides. In hot oven they will cook
in this way in ten or fifteen minutes.
If they are in cases they should be
pricked thoroughly to prevent them
from bursting under the heat. When
sausage meat is used cut 1t into
squares or form it into round cakes,
about three-quarters of an inch thick,
and let it cook in the same way. The
French use the richest Spanish and
Madeira sauces with sausages. A
little chopped onion, in the proper
tion of tablespoonful to pound Of
sausage meat, may be Drowned and
sprinkled over the sausages just be-
fore they are put in the oven. If the
sausages are then served with rich,
brown sauce and sprinkling of
minced parsley for garnish, they
will be very delicate dish for break

Microbes Carried by Bullets.

Some interesting experiments we're
lately made by DR.. Mesmer, says the
London News, by way of solving the
question whether or not rifle bullets
are liable to carry infection with
them in their course of entry into the
body. He made his trial with bullets
which had been infected with germs
of particular kind, and the infected
bullets were shot into tin boxes from
distances varying from 225 to $50
meters-a meter being nearly 3 feet
81 inches. Inside the boxes was
placed gelatine peptone in steril-
lied or germless condition, so that
whatever germ developments were
found in the peptone (which is a
great growing medium for microbes)
would be presumed to have come
from the bullets. The tracks of the
bullets through the gelatine were
duly scrutiniZed, with the result that
in each case germ growth took place
corresponding to the particular mi.
crobes with which the bullets had been
respectively infected. In another
series of investigations the bullets
were made to pass through infected
flannel before penetrating the gela.
tine, the bullets being of ordinary
kind. Here, again, micr0bic growths
appeared in the gelatine, showing
that the flannel had yielded up its
microbes to the bullets as they
traversed it. If noninfected and or
binary bullets were used, the gelatine
developed only the ordinary germ
life, such as the air contained. The
bullet Is, therefore, germ carrier of
very decided kind. and it is also
clear that If clothing is penetrated
by bullet prior to its entrance into
the tissue, the missile will be liable
to carry into the wound it makes the
bacteria resident on the clothing

A Few Hints by Which Go,d Health May
He Attained.
Few people seem to give any
thought to the appropriateness OF
food to the season Of the year, says
the New York Ledger. With the
coming cold weather many people re-
main great deal indoors, occupying
rooms which are often kept at a high
temperature and with, Of course,
very much less fresh air than they
are accustomed to during warm
weather. This has tendency to
create a feyerish condition of the
system that should be counteracted
by free indulgence in fruits Of all
available sorts.
For such purposes there is nothing
better than good apples eaten raw.
II children were permitted to eat all
the fresh apples they craved through
out the winter there would be fewer
diseases and deaths; while for adults,
those who are of fairly quiet habits
and who remain indoors great deal,
there Is nothing In the whole range
of food products as useful.
1t is claimed that severe cases of
govt and other rheumatic difficulties
may be entirely cured by the free use
of apples. In the absence Of apples,
raw potatoes, eaten with little salt,
are a most excellent corrective of bad
humors. An eminent lawyer Of this
country claims to owe his excellent
health largely to the habit of eating
raw potatoes with salt Whenever
he feels feverish or out Of condition
this is his medicine, and for years he
has taken no other.
Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, pine
apples in their season, and all acid
fruits, are valuable for people Of sed-
entary habits. Almost all persons
might improve their health If they
would but give little attention Tn
some of the most simple Of natures
laws, and when this boon is so cheap
ly purchased the wonder is that 1T is
so much neglected.

and requirements will meet with a
Just punishment. The badly fitting
stocking also comes in for vigorous
dressing down. Troubles caused by
ill-fitting stockings arc more common
among women than men, for the rea-
son that women are more anxious to
encompass their feet in as little space
as possible. This custom, the author
adds, was probably borrowed from the
Chinese women, who, upon becoming
Of age, regard feet larger than mere
stumps as disgrace apd deformity.
The Doctor says that frequent bath
Ing in very warm water Is of much
benefit to the feet, and is usually the
first course to be adopted for the
treatment Of unnatural growths and
callosities. The heat of the water
renders the flesh soft and pliabfe and
allows considerable of the superfuous
skin to be easily removed. 1t Is adj
visable to put little spirits Of am
monia in the foot bath. Should the
collosity be highly inhamed, so as to
have the appearance of tester, a
slippery elm or flaxseed poultice
should be applied before going to
bed. Chamois-skin washers should
be placed over the sore spot the next
day in order to prevent friction from

A Natural Bridge of Agate.

A mining expert, sent to investi-
gate some Arizona properties for
Denver capitalists, recently returned,
and reports the finding of most re-
markable natural bridge formed by a
tree of agatized wood, spanning a
canyon forty-five feet in width. The
tree had at some remote time fallen
and become imbedded in the silt Of
some great inland sea or mighty wa
ter overflow. The silt became in time
sandstone, and the wood gradually
passed through the stages Of mineral
ization until it is now wonderful
tree Of solid agate. In after years
water washed and ate away the sand
stone until a canyon forty-flve feet in
width has been formed, the flinty-
like substance Of the agatized wood
having resisted the erosion of the
water-fow. Fully fifty feet OF the
tree rests on one side and can be
traced, but how far its other end lies
buried in the sandstone cannot be de-
termined without blasting away the
rock. The trunk visible above the
canyon varies in size from four feet
to three feet in diameter. Where the
bark has been broken and torn away
the characteristic colors of jasper
and agate are seen. To the naked
eye the wood is beautiful. Under a
microscope or miners mag nifying
glass the brilliant colorings are clear
ly brought out in all their wondrous
beauty. -Oregon Statesman.

Leaks i'm Drain Pipes.

Another piece of chemical knowl-
edge worth noting is the action Of
sulphide of hydrogen in the presence
Of a lead salt. If piece Of blotting
paper be soaked with solution Of
sugar of lead and be held near or
over bottle of sulphide Of hydrogen
the plotting paper will at once turn
dark-brown or black. That Is, a
chemical change takes place and the
sulphur or the sulphide of hydrogen
unites with the lead of the sugar Of
lead, and sulphide of lead is the re-
suit, which is black or dark-brown.
The practical application Of this is
the detection Of leaks in drain pipes.
Almost all foul odors from cesspools
and drains contain the sulphide
of hydrogen. If leak of these odors
Is suspected or noticed, a piece OF
plotting paper soaked with a solution
of sugar of lead and held at the joints
of the pipes or where the odor is sus-
pected will at once turn brown or
black If there is an escape of gas.
Often at summer resorts some Of the
back rooms suggest an odor not too
pleasant, and bad drain or leaky
cesspool is suggested by faint smell.
A piece Of blotting paper treated as
directed above and left to hang in
the room will detect slight amount
of this poisonous gas and prove con-
clusively that the room is unfit for
occupatiOn

The Washington News says that a
"'gatored mule" is, according to Flor
ida dialect, mule that has been
driven partially insane by an alli-
gator. There are hundreds Of such

a fact that they are never the same

THE QUAIL AND IT'S HUNTERS.

where Americas National Game Bird IL
Most Plentiful.
Though the quail is ubiquitous, and
is everywhere highly priced from both
sporting and epicurean points OF
view, he is at his best In both capaci-
ties throughout the Carolinas, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
writes Charles ID. Lanier, In Harper's
Magazine. There man has his set
tiers and pointers almost as inevitably
as his kitchen. The boy grows up In
proud dreams Of the day when he
shall be allowed to shoot over the
dogs with the men instead of holding
the riding-horses for them; ne prac-
tices diligently on tin cans thrown
into the air, and, as eye and arm be-
gin to acquire cunning, on the "bull
bats" that circle around before dusk
in the early fall. Ones shooting
qualities are officially guaged by the
number of quail one can kill A good
shot will bag half the birds he shoots
at, and fair marksman will be con-
tent with two or three to every ten
empty shells, counting after a full
days sport Then there are those
rare old shots, with lightning nerves
and eyes, who, in open and thicket,
taking snapshots that would give the
average man scarcely time to raise
his gun, will bring down fifteen, or
even eighteen or nineteen birds with
twenty cartridges. Along the river
bottoms and broad stubblefelds of
these States the partridges are still
so numerous that in favored localities
it is no wonderful thing to find dur
ing the day twenty or twenty five
coveys Of birds, averaging fifteen or
more in tOvey.
But in finding the birds almost all
depends on the dogs The curly
coated settlers and shorter haired,
trim-built pointers are about evenly
used, the favorite varieties of the
former known to the local sportsman
being the Gordon, generally marked
black, or black and tan; the English,
marked white with black, lemon,
orange, or liver-colored spots; and the
red Irish.
The gun still used for quail, and
upland shooting generally, is the II
gauge double-barreled breech-loader.
The great manufactures turn these
out so cheaply now that they are in
the financial reach of everybody,
whereas 1t has been but score Of
years since they were rarities, and
very costly ones. Some OF the more
dilettante sportsmen are beginning to
use again the smaller gauges, geDer-
ally Of fine English make. Season
before last the writer shot Scott 49,
bore hammerless with excellent re-
suits, and the lighter weight of gun
possible with this small gauge is very
grateful on a thirty-mile tramp across
country. A tive-pound gun can, too,
be handled more quickly in snap
shots than a nine-pounder. Even in
grouse shooting, where the birds are
stro ng and wild, the smaller gun
shows no inferiority.

The production of vaccine virus is
curious but very simple proceeding.
1t is generally known that the virus
is obtained from cows, and there are
a number of vaccine farms" as they
are called In this country. In order
to secure all the vaccine when ma
ture, and to make neat work, the
cows are placed in stalls, with the
movements Of their hind limbs care
fully impeded. A pole is placed In
slanting position on each side OF the
hind foot and the animal cannot step
about to any great extent. Then the
operator shaves all the hair from the
back part Of the hind legs, from the
hips down to the knee joint. In the
broader portions OF this part Of the
anatomy there are located the milk
glands, and it is there the propagation
proposes to secure his lymph.

The Santa Fe Failure.

Such an event as the failure of the
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe
Railway Company, occurring in for
mer times would have precipitated a
panic in the midst Of prosperity, or
would have increased vastly the ter
rors Of an existing panic. The fail
ure Of Jay Cooke and the half-finish-
ed Northern Pacific Pathway in 1873
created the panic OF that year. The
interests involved in that catastro-
phe were not one-tenth as extensive
or important as those of the Santa
Fe. Yet this occurrence did not
affect the money or stock market to
the extent of one-half OF one per
cent. on the total volume of business.
The loss on securities fell so lightly
and were so widely distributed that
the result amounted to but little
more than ripple along the shores
of the business world.
The disaster to the Santa Fe is the
result of nothing but misdirected en-
terprise and errors in management.
In 1881 the stock of the Santa Fe
sold at l541. From 1886 to 1888 the
stock was but a point or two below
par. The plan OF extension then be-
gan. The line to Chicago was built
and the immense terminal property
on State street was acquired.
The Chicago extension never paid,
but caused loss of business to the
main line. The business of the main
line, which had been divided at the
Missouri River among several roads,
kept them all in friendly spirit and
the Santa Fe received their COM
bined transcontinental traffic. When
it built rival line to Chicago it lost
all the Chicago and eastern traffic of
other lines Practically the same
result followed the acquisition Of all
its extensions and subsidiary lines.
Each step OF enterprise excited the
hostility OF rival lines whose terri
tory was invaded. The main line
lost traffic and the branches did not
do a self-supporting business. Every
attempt to conquer other worlds i'm.
paired the value Of its own world as
source of profit.
In the bankruptcy of such great
roads as the Northern Pacific, the
Union Pacihc, the Erie, the Santa lie
and other systems profound. lessons
are to be learned in the science OF
railroad management, and especially
In the morals Of railroad fnancier-
