F. N. |. Notes.

The geological excursion last
Friday was much enjoyed by all
the students and friends who went.
Among the places of interest visited
were the feldspar, serpentine and
iron quarries, one of Mason &
DiXon's milestones, the flint mills
and finally the chrome banks,
which was the place of our destina-
ton. After having spent a very
pleasant day, we returned home
about 4.3O, bringing with us a
number of fine mineral specimens
which will add greatly to the
already large collection at the F.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling 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 normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh J
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

MINERAL WOOL.
The Process by Which the Useful Silicate
Cotton Is Produced.

The Process by Which the Useful Silicate
Cotton Is Produced.
Of those who know what mineral
wool is, or silicate cotton, as it is some
times called, probably only a small
number are familiar with the simple
process by which it is made. The wool
itself, serving a variety of useful pur-
poses, as a nonconducting covering
against heat and cold alike, for steam
pipes and cold storage room walls, as a
sound "deadener" in floors of buildings
and as a means of fireproofng, among
many others, is, as its name implies, a
soft and woolly substance, consisting Of
a mass of very fine mineral fbers inter-
lacing one another i'll every direction,
and thus forming an endless number of
minute air cells
The wool appears on the market III a
variety of colors, principally white, but
often yellow or gray and occasionally
quite dark and is made by converting
scorial and certain rocks while in a
molten state into a fibrous condition by
asteam blast directed against the liquid
material. Blast furnace Stag forms the
raw material for one variety of the wool
and sandstone for another, yielding re-
spectively Stag wool and rock wool, the
latter being preferable for pipe covering
because of the absence from it of sui
phur, which, with moisture present, be-
comes an active corroding agent
The furnace Stag or the rock, as the
H.
la, and as it trickles out at the tap hole
in somewhat sluggish stream it meets
a high pressure steam jet which atom
ICES the wooden mineral, if it may be so
termed, blowing it in fleecy clouds into
the storage room provided for it. Soft
and downy, the stuff settles wherever a
resting place affords itself, the heavier
and easier wool coming down first, while
the lighter portions are blown farther
along by the force of the team and set
tie in the more distant parts of the
room, the material thus naturally grad
ing itself into varieties of different
quality.
A thousand pounds of wool per hour
are turned out by one of the cupolas,
and after the storage room has been
blown full the flocculent mass is pushed
into bags, ready for the market The
whole process affords an admirable and
interesting illustration of the utilization
Of an utterly waste product. -Cassier's

The Roaring Farce.

Political humbuggery is now being
carried on at full blast. The fur
naces of both old parties are in
blast, to use a founders expression,
but they turn out little else than
''slag." No one will get a new
idea from any of the speeches
delivered at these meetings by
their ablest men. The entire pro-
duct is poppy cock, chin music and
brass horn. The idea OF each is
to hold its contingent of voters and
to draw in the foaters by wheedle
and hurrah, or a liberal distribu-
ton of Copenhagen" Not a word
will be said about the hard times
and what will mend them. Not a
word about the farmers wheat sell
ing at half its normal price and the
farmers debts and taxes remaining
still at the old time figures or a
little higher if any change has
taken place. Not a word is heard
about the millions of idle people in
the cities and about factory banks,
work shops and other centers Of
now silent-industry or employed
only half their time. Not a word
about the tramps that line the
roads and the soup houses in the
cities. Not word about the
crimes, suicides, rObberies, murders,
house burning, burglaries and de-
falcations among bank officers and
other agents who are trusted with
the handling of money and tran
sactiOn of business. Not a word
about these and the cause and cure
only poppy cock and "blither" of
the glories that have passed. What
their parties propose to do to
alleviate the dark present and
avert the dangers of an ominous
future is never mentioned. Can
the people be fooled again by the
roaring farce of these club meet
ings? If the people can be per-
suaded by these hurrah and brass
horn meetings and the idle bosh
dispensed by the speakers who are
generally after a share of the taxes
that are to be expended, they may
calculate to a certainty that hard
times will continue.

The barbecue. :"

The "barbecue" and ''mass'
meeting at Battle Swamp last
Saturday was characteristic of
promise and performance by old
political parties and politicians.
A better Illustration could hardly
be presented. The COX roast" was
a quarter of beef roasted in Port
Deposit the day before, taken to
the meeting, sliced up and handed
round with a piece of bread to the
hungry or those who desired a
lunch. This was altogether the
more economical and sensible way
of feeding the hungry, but the idea
of the barbecue was lost and with
it the impression of a great cause
typified by imposing ceremonial,
while it unveiled the arrant hum
buggery of old party methods to
hoodwink the people.
The horseback procession from
Rising Sun and Colora with faunt-
ing banners and galloping marshals,
the thunder of the captains and the
shouting, was composed of ten
SOLITARY horsemen." The only
part of the procession Cup TO date"
was the galloping marshal. The
Gold eighth" did better numerically
and turned out an "imposing"
cavalcade. But the "eighth" is
nearer the backwoods and would
naturally show up we'll in such a
contest.
The "mass" was quite good
bunch of people, there being six or
eight hundred on the ground. Mr..
F. S. Everist acted as chairman.
Senator German, candidate for
governor, John E. Hurst, Hon.
Chas. j. Faulkner of w. Va, and
Hon. G. G. Crothers, were the
speakers for the occasion. Mr..
German defended himself from the
scurvy assaults OF the Baltimore
Sun, and the other speakers de-
Tended modern Cleveland democ-
racy, or tried-a successful defense
being one of the impossible things.
Mr.. Hurst isn't much of an orator,
his education in that branch having
been neglected. No one took home
a new thought or idea from the
meeting. Neither of the four
speakers who posed as statesmen
who came so far and away out in
the country to talk to the rurals,
appeared to have a new thought
for them on government economics,
the conditions which have reduced
the money value of the nice farms
which stretched away on all sides
to half their value of % years ago;
or why the crops which have grown
to nearly double the quantity they
were then sell for less than half
their quantity sold for then; nor
why taxes, fees, salaries, interest
and debts are counted in the same
number of dollars or more than
then. The farmers were anxious
to hear these four wise men explain
why these anomalous conditions
existed, hut not word of infopma.

Horse Stolen.

An unknown person drove off
with a valuable horse belonging to
Edward Spear, of Bohemia Bridge,
last Saturday night. Mr.. Spear
came to the democratic meeting at
Elkton and tied his horse in the
Howard House yard. About II
O'Clock when ready to return home
the horse was missing. The animal
was found Sunday morning at Holly
Hall and plainly showed the effects
of hard driving.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Acco-ding to the
opinion Of two or three probable mcm.
bers Of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs there is strong possibility that
when the committee comes to consider the
matter Of Ambassador Bayard's two
speeches 1t may recommend the faction
proposed by McCall's resolution. That
resolution proposed that the house call
upon tho president to inform it what
steps, If any, he has taken to recall or
censure Bayard. Tho question of inn
peachment is not before the house or the
COMMITTEES in any way, Notwithstanding
some misapprchension on that point, for
when Barrett's resolution was disposed o.
the words "by impeachment or other
wise," were stricken out, leaving q simple
direction to the committee to report to the
house what action should be taken in tho
premises.
Impeachment Not Seriously Intended.
1t is now conceded 6y the Republicans
that the proposition to impeach was not
intended seriously, but merely parlia-
mentary move to secure debate ON tho
ambassadors conduct. Mccall says that
1t would be unfair for the house to assume

to the ambassador that his speeches were
improper, and unfair to Bayard for the

done SO already. This view is taken by

GROW ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT

On the Subject of TartH and tho Adminis--

session OF the house was the speech Of Grow,
the veteran representative from Penn
sylvania, attacking that part of the presi-
dents message referring to tariff and tho
finances. A large portion of the speech
was devoted to proving that protection
was the true policy and that the country
had prospered exceedingly under that pol
icy, while it was under the reform" pol
icy that the reserve been lowered and tho
revenues decreased.
''The present administration" said
Grow, seems to have begun where Bu-

As to the presidents charge that the Nc

statement by Grow that the greenbacks
would not be retired was received with a
demonstration Of approval by the Repub.
licans.
The presidents complaint that the
greenbacks furnished an endless chain by
which the gold reserve was depleted was
not frank, he said. The greenbacks
would endanger the gold reserve as long as
the revenues were not equal to the ex.
penses, and no longer. Paying the cur
rent debts of the government out of the
reserve was the road to national bank.

Grow referred to the elections last fall
