PeninSular Medals.

Coming to the great European wars of
the revolutionary period, we might expect a
great crop of medals for our brave soldiers
But no; there are gold medals for superior
officers, but for the die harls of the penin-
sular war, who often, by sheer hard fight
ing, redeemed the blunders of their com
mandcrs, absolutely nothing. As for the
generals, Wellington complained that they
were too thickly hung with medals. There
is a splendid gold medal for Mazda, the
very finest of all our military medals, OF
which only II were issued.
Talavera was acknowledged in gold
medals to commanding officers. And Vel
lington suggests that only one medal
should be issued to an officer, ana that fu-
turc actions should be engraved upon it.
When four actions had been scored, the
medal should be replaced by a cross to be
worn at the buttonholc. Decorations worn
around the neck arc awkward to ride in,
SAYS the matter of fact commander. Fred
erich of York carried out the suggestion
with characteristic difference. The gold
cross-Maltese, with lion statant in tho
center, and suspended by gold laurel
wrcath-was issued to ba worn by general
officers around the neck, others at the
buttonhole. the Year Round.

Nigitegp Privileges.

Queen Mary's Kindness took a very odd
form in the case of the Earl of Sussex. He
was valctudinarian who had a great fear
of uncovcring his head lest he should take
cold. Accordingly he petitioned Queen
Mary for leave to wear his nightcap in her
royal presence.
Her majesty, in her abundant grace,
granted his petition twice over His pat
ent for this privilege is perhaps unique in
royal annals:

and pardon to wear his cape or night cap,

The State OF Maryland.

Maryland, besides being one OF the old
thirteen, has the distinction Of being tho
most dcnscly populated Of the southern or
old slave holding states; also next to Della
ware it is the smallest of them. 1t is about
one-fourth larger than Massachusetts, but
has considerably over 1000, 900 people, or
as many as Nebraska or more than twice
as many as South Dakota, or1nore than 90
times as many at Nevada, which is moro
than ten times as big Maryland. Nearly
one-half of these live IN the great city Of
Baltimore. But, says the New York
World very truly, there are other things
for which Maryland is noted.
Tho District of Columbia was once a
part of the state of Maryland. The can
vasback duck and the diamond hack terra
pin, considered tho greatest delicacies Of
the American table, are fo1nd in their
highest excellence only around the shores
of the Chesapeake bay in this state.
The most famous troops OF the Revolu-
tionary war came from Maryland. The
Maryland brigade made record that is
almost unparalleled. Many Of the most
famous of the daring privatccrs in the Sec
ond war with Great Britain were built and
manned at Baltimore, and tho fastest Of
all sailing ships-thc clppors-took their
name from the city of their origin, Balti-

THE NERVOUS MAN.
You Can Tell Elm by Looking at his
Lead Pencil.

"The nervous man, who does not plte
his pencil is the man who never uses one
said the doctor yesterday. You can al
WAYS tell a man who is subject Tor treat
mcnt for nervousness by looking at the
end of his lead pencil The more it is Bit
ten the more advanced is hops a subject
for specialist. These high strung nerv-
ous dispositions of ours must have saIety

, complishcd by man chewing the emu Oh
his pencil. In another, as many OF my
, friends do during u conversation pehcii
must always be in the hand, ana the man
is either scribbling or drawing all the
time he is talking. l know one man VINO
never undertakes to carry ON discussion
witbout n pcncil in his hand. He tells me
that he could not think if he was deprived
of bolding one. Another man, who Is
decp thinker and the essence OF dlgnlty,
ALWAYS draws pigs whom talking earnestly
unon n subject. He makes them all tan
less. Then, as a solution to the problem
presenting itself, he goes back and places
q curly tail upon each one 1t seems 10 DC
the sion of success to him. There are hun
dreds of men who cannot talk business
without they arc smoking cigar. IL
seems to brighten their reasoning powers.
Other men tear paper.
Il know of several who fold paper and
unconsciously tear it into all sorts OF geo.
mctrical shapes, rivaling kindergarten
children. Some even go SO far as to chew
paper. These little peculiar traits of nerv-
Gus natures are the lamps which they rub
to call up the genii of their best Thought
and Judgment. And while ono may think
lightly of the value of these habits, unless
the physician, by treatment, has made a
revision of their nervous system, to de-
prive such u one of those eccentricities
would be to make his store of Judgment
and common sense valueless as all the un-
told wealth which Aladdin lost when his
lamp went from him. "-Pittsburg Dis

Things Told About Light,

The Chinese make candles of u vegetable
wax, the product of the candleberry tree.
Coal gas was described and manufac-
tured by DR.. Clayton of England as carly
as $780,
In 1876 the Jablochof electric candle
was invented and shown to the French
Academy.
Candles were first used symbolically on
the altars Of churches in tho fourth CEN
tury.
Candlemas day was first established as a
festival by Pope Gelasius in the fifth CEN
tury.
The first lighthouse where gas was used
In tho lamps was in the Howth light of
Dublin in 1869.
Gas was first used on large scale in

Watts First Hymn.

A story that is going the rounds Of tho
exchanges is to this effect: Isaac Watts,
when q youth of 90, went to meeting with
his father, but the dull, drowsy hymns
were n source of great vcxation to him,
and he did not fail to make his complaints
the church.
"Then try and improve them," said hc.
The lad did so, and soon afterward, at
the close of one of the Sunday services, his
first hymn was sung: :
Behold the glories Of the Lamb,
Amidst his Fathers throne;
Prepare new honors for his name,
And songs before unknown.
The hymn was a prophecy. "Songs be-
fore unknown" wero now prepared. In
1907 his first hymnbook appeared.

said, to the poun1er OF metal. "A son Of
Cain was Enoch, boy OF whom he

want an Office some day and gave post
office in Warren the name Of Highlands.
in rivalry with Highland plantation in
Somerset county. Perhaps the most bother
Is caused by the name Oakdale, which
may mean a village in Decring or new
postoffice in the town OF Blanchard. Deer
ing folks complain that since the new
Office was established most of their letters

often on to Washington before reaching
