decorate Your Homes.

Few people go to the trouble at Christ
mas to decorate their homes with ever
green, symbolic of the holiday season.
1t is a real pleasure to enter the house
hold at Yule Tide, embellished with tasty
festooning aud evergreen wreaths, and
nothing is more pretty or appropriate,
and those who thus adOrn their homes
are to he commended. Much time AID
money is expended in the decoration of
churches, which decoration of late years,
has been a special feature of the service,
and the home, the family altar and tenn
pie is equally worthy of the reminder of
the Christmas season.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Result of CAROLS Election

Should the Democrats carry Carroll
and thus secure IA votes in the Senate,
they have it in their power tO deal u
potential coup 'etat, though it is not
expected any such movement would be
attempted. Governor Brown has it Ia
his power TO make all the appointments
in the State the first week or day even
of the session, aud the Senate could con
firm. Article ,, Section lS, says: "All
civil officers appointed by the Governor
and Senate shall be nominated to the
Senate within 80 days from the COM
mencement of each regular session of
the Legislature.
The resignation of Gen. Stewart Brown
carries with it the demOlislment of his
staff, as that is a personal matter Gre
ated by the general commanding. The
regimental officers of the Maryland Ma
tional Guards will elect General Browns
successor.
Several political clubs in the State
have endorsed Gov.-elect Lowndes for
the next Vice President.

George w. Jenkins, editor Of the Santa
Maria Times, Cal, in speaking Of the
various ailments of children said: When
nv children have Group there is only
one patent medicine that / ever use, and
that is Chamberlain 3 Cough Remedy.
1t possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi-
ately. It is. in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market. If
this remedy is freely given as soon as
the crOupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t is an ideal remedy
foI whO0ping cough. There is no dan
ger in giving it to children, as it con-
tains nothing injurious. For sale Dy

He Lives Near East Hartford-His Tribe
 Are Noted Horse Trainers.
 One of the most famous representa-. tives of Romany Rye ill this country ia Prince William, as he is called, who with his family, lives near East Hart. ford There are branches of the family at New Haven and Bridgeport Tho East Hartford branch of the family is the main branch.
 Tho Williamses are all horse dealers Attached to their residence are stables which, ill winter, always contain Q stock of fine blooded draft horses.
 One of the interesting sights at the stables are the wagons that are used by Prince William and his family when they go off on their annual nomadio pleasure trips. These wagons cost from $1,000 to $2, 300. Prince Williams g private wagon cost $2, 900 and is fitted up in regal style.
 In these trips around the country the whole family joins. These trips are made in the summer, spare horses being taken along and sold or traded This means q oayalcade of dozen fancy wagons and about 100 horses.
 Tho start is made about the 1st of August the entire family-men, wom. en and children-being taken along. The party keeps together, travelling by easy stages, about 20 miles day being considered a good journey. When in a hurry, they can make 10 miles day.
 The place selected for the nights rest is usually grove. There the wagons are drawn up in circle, fires are light ed and the evening meal prepared.
 After supper the whole party gather around Prince William s tent or wagon, and the affairs of tho family are dis. cussed. A watehman patrols the camp all night to watch the horses. New York Times.

THAWlNG OUT FROZEN MEAT.
A Dark Room Treatment Before Leaving
 the Cold Storage House.

the Cold storhRe houscs
 According to the process invented by Messrs. Nelson Bros for thawing frozen meat in such way as to put it on the market in sound condition and avoid the many objections to which the sale of the meat while still in frozen state was open, the chamber of the ap- paratus is provided with double doors, one of which is extremely thick, so as to shut out, as far as possible, all exter- nal atmosphere. The chamber has no windows, but is supplied with electric light.
 On entering one sees only some 30 quarters of beef hanging in rows on hooks over q slightly raised open plat form, with canvas curtain at the back. Under this platform, however, there IS q series of steam pipes, while behind the curtain there is a series of pipes filled with compressed ammonia, similar to those used in connection with the ordi- nary freezing processes. The steam pipes under the meat cause a current of warm air to ascend all around it, and as soon as this current reaches the top of this chamber it is drawn to the freezing pipes behind the curtain, by which all tho moisture is frozen out of it, on to the pipes themselves It aeoumulates there i'll the form of snow some three-quarters of all inch ill thickness.
 The snow has to be scraped off the pipes from time to time, and it is stated that the accumulation during five days, in the thawing of 30 quarters of beef, has resulted ill no fewer than 168 pounds of water. During that same period the meat has lost only per cent iii weight. The purpose of the canvas curtain IS to divide the ascending warm current from the descending cold current, and it is claimed that the effect of this incessant passing of the air first over the steam pipes and then over the freezing pipes is eventually to free it from all mois. ture. When the meat is first hung, the temperature of the room is almost at freezing point, but on the fifth day the temperature of the chamber has been raised to that of the air outside. By this time the frost has all been thawed out of the meat, which is then in con dition to be sent to market. London Invention.

Why Does Not Some Writer Use an Eskimo
 as Heroine?
 The division of the earth among con- temporary novelists has not as yet in- cluded Greenland, whore some new writer can lay the scene of a story in which the heroine will wear sealsllin trousers and calm her troubled heart with mighty drafts of train oil.
 Neither has any novelist seized upon China, where great things may yet be done by story teller who really knows something of that modern and multitudi- nous sphinx, the Chinaman
 But with these exceptions there is very little desirable territory which is not pre-empted. This of course greatly hampers new novelists who are com pelled to write novels dealing only with English men and women at home
 England is the common possession of every body. and even tho American writer who does not wish to initiate either Mir. Harte or Mir. Howells is compelled to lay the scene Of his stories in London or in some one of the many little Eng fish colonies to be found in continental cities.
 The English novelist who wishes to write story characterized by some little novelty is reduced to inventing Dodos or other fabulous creatures, an attempt which fails more frequently than it sue ceeds.
 This state of things is so plain to ev- cry writer that wonder that no one has rushed i'll to occupy the Greenland or the Chinese field.
 A Greenland story would at once at tract attention because of it's novelty, and we who have never been to Green land could warmly recognize the truth of it's local color, and the profound knowledge of Eskimo character shown by the writer,
 An advanced Eskimo maiden with a wild desire to wear petticoats instead of trousers and to drink tea instead of train oil could hardly fail to charm the reader
