The establishment Of tho color line In
tho West Point summer encampment re.
Gently gave rise to good story on the
commandant Of cadets, Colonel Samuel
Mills. The regulations prescribe that ev.
cry one crossing tho color line or passing
the colors should salute by lifting his cap
with the right hand and placing IL upon
his left shoulder. Colonel Mills neglected
this important ceremony not long ago, and
the sentry on duty promptly stopped him
and compelled him to obey the regula-
uop.
The commandant next day sent for this
cadet, third class man, who, by the way,
comes from Indiana, and talked to him
long and earnestly. Tho young man re-
fused to divulge the substance Of the inter.
Wow, but tho general opinion is that the
cadet will bo given corporal's ohevrons In
the fall, when changes are made In the
officers Of the battalion. ~-J-

The Stay.at.HOmes.

To stay at home all summer, and figh
mosquitoes and cook for company, was no
a very pleasing prospect. and when oul
friends who are summering by the sea o.
among the mountains, bade us good bye
with little patronizing tone of voice, we
felt little aggrieved. But after all, the
Mlddletown stay-at-home has not Jared SC
badly. The mosquitoes and the company
have helped to liven things up, and every
one is marvelling at the short summer.
The fact that so many people from
various cities have come here for the sum-
mel, has made it a more popular summer
place with the residents, and those who
usually summer by the sea- have found
their own homes by far pleasanter place
than the cooped-up rooms in the summep.
hotels, at the rates of s12 per week. The
Independence and comfort of home are
not found anywhere else. Fancy having to
be harnessed up in tight fitting clothes all
summer at the summer resorts when the
neghge costume can be worn at home.
When the mercury gets high, and the air
has the temperature of the tropics.
The good fellowship and pleasant,
unconventional social life of those who
stay at home is one of the most pleasant
features, and it has been demonstrated
beyond a question, that the Middletown
people know how to enjoy life, even if they
have to stay home all summer. There are
always little parties, receptions, etc., pic
MICS, excursions and carriage parties, that
make pleasant diversions, and when the
September days come and the go-awavs
and stay-at-homes compare notes the latter
will doubtless have the best showing. But
for all that the majority would go away if
they could.

believing that in the dispensations of his
providence he doeth all things well, and
that in our loss the deceased will have but
gone up higher to receive that reward
which is promised to those who put their
trust in the Lord. Be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon our record-that a copy of

but our deepest sympathy in their hour of
sorrow, that the secretary be instructed to

The Berlin Dfsastar

The town of Berlin, Nd, was the scene
of destructive fire on Monday. by which
seventy-fve houses were destroyed, in
cluding nearly all the stores and places Of
business. The loss is estimated at s175, 900
with but little insurance.
Berlin is pretty little town, in Worces-
ter county, about twelve miles from Ocean
City. Its buildings are nearly all frame and
furnished ready fuel for the flames when
once started. The fire engine from Sails
bury came to the rescue but not until the
principal part of the town lay in ruins
The three churches were not burned.
The Insurance Companies have had so
many losses from fires of a similar nature
i'll other Maryland towns where the build
ing are frame and without proper protec-
ton, that they had only recently can
celled nearly all their policies in Berlin, so
the insurance is mere pittance.

Too few people take part in the church
services. Responsive reading of the Bible
should, in my opionion, be part of the
worship in every church.
But started out to make criticism. 1
was surprised that SO few took part in the
responsive reading last Sabbath morning,
SO few of the regular congregation, and
that so many remained seated when the
invitation was given to arise. Certainly
there is time when the maxim canbe very
appropriately observed: "When in Rome d
as Rome does," have said enough as a

meant.

STARTING THE GIRLS.

Many mothers are busy getting the girl
ready to go away to school, and though the
echoes of the June essays have hardly died
away, and the commencement furry il
hardly over, 1t is already nearing opening
time again, and new set is getting ready
to start away.
The choice of school is a matter of no
little Importance, and is not to be consider
cred lightly. The education of girls has
undergone great change in the last quar-
ter century, and nowhere is this seen more
plainly than in the kind of schools now
open to women. A few decades ago, the
fashionable boarding school or young ladies
seminary, was all there was for girl or
young woman after her preliminary course
in the home Academy or High School, and
her education was principally for social
purposes. She was taught music and dane
ing, painting and languages, and fancy
needle work, with very liberal sprinkling
Of polite literature, etc. She was taught how
to enter room, how to receive visitors, and
in fact was trained in all things to adorn
society. There are fashionable schools of
this sort to-day, and some very sensible
parents send their daughters to them, be-
cause they want them nicely finished" but
the rank and file are not satisfied with a
mere ornamental education. Since Uni
versities, Colleges and business schools are
open to girls, and their curriculum includes
all that constitutes the higher education,
they have not been slow to appropriate |
their new gifts, and haying equal educa-
tional advantages with the boys have al
ready found themselves equally equipped
for life's work. A thorough practical edu-
cation is what the girls want, and the best
school is the one that will give her the best
mental discipline, along with moral and
social advantages. 1t is unjust and unfair
20 the coming generation of women, the
school girls of to-day-to start them in life
with a mere ornamental edu-
,ation, whenthe need is for practical know
ledge, land whatever her future station may
,e, fshe's well educated, she's all right.
