this State were very bitter toward
Senator German and we're endeayor-
ing to place him outside of party af-
fairs. The Senator was accused of
being false to his party and its prin-
ciples and gIYer free passport to the
ranks of the Republicans, "where
he belonged" But presto! the
willy Senator now has their support
while he is at his old game of manip-
ulating party affairs throughout
the State for his own private pur-
poses. We do not blame Senator
German for this if the people permit
it. Such is his nature. The shame
rests with that class of ordinary
honest but blatant Democrats who
are ever ready to cry reform the

A Hint to Croakers,

Some people think a newspaper
should have about page of local
news, whether ANYTHING happens or
not. Local editors cannot make
people break their necks, commit
suicide, matrlmony or any other
exciting thing, that goes to make
up the material from which the local
writer makes paragraphs.

The PIalntive WhippoorwlII.

The whippoorwill, lover of lonely
spots and moonlight, is now crying
to the moon. The much-abused
word weird properly fits the note of
the whippoorwill. Familiar as the
syllables are in legend and story,
many persons do not recognize them
on first hearing the birds call.
Taken separatelv, the svllables
gest the rapid whetting of scythe.
The bird, with his soft, gray-mixed
plumage, large eyes, hairy mouth,
and silent, mysterious flight, fits
well with his cry. You hear HIM
calling from some inky spot of shad-
ows near where flood of moonlight
falls. Even wood wanderers seldom
see the bird, and one may pass
whole summer in a region where
whippoorwllls call every night with
out once encountering one Of the
singers.

A Prosperous College.

The Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege is now free from debt. In his
annual report President Siluester
said that S38, 900 had been spent on
new improvements. He also rec
commended the reelection of the
present faculty of the college. Esti-
maets of the cost of number of
new buildings were included in the
report. Amongthem were green
house, stock barn and a dairy
barn. No action was taken by the
board relative to the dairy barn, but
it authorized the erection of a green
house to cost about 81 900. Lieut..
John d. Ford, United States Navy
has been authorized to select, with
the approval of the president of the
college, an assistant in his depart
ment. Treasurer j. r. Owens re-
port shows ample funds TO meet all
demands for the remainder of the

Oysters as Food.

Speaking roughly, quart of oys-
ters contains on the average about
the same quantity of actual nutritive
substance as quart of milk or q
pound Of very lean beef or pound
and a half of fresh Goldfish or two
thirds Of pound Of bread. But
while the weight Of actual nutri-:
ment in the different quantities Of
food material named is very nearly
the same, the quality is widely diff
ferent. That of the very lean meat
or Goldfish consists mostly of what
are called in chemical language pro-
tein compounds, or ''fesh formers"
the substances which make blood,
muscle, tendon, bone, brain and
other heterogeneous tissues. That Of
the bread contains but little of these
and consists chiefly of starch, with a
little fat and other compounds,
which serve the body as fuel and
supply it with heat and muscular
power. The nutritive substance OF
oysters contains considerable of both
the flesh forming and the more es
pecially heat and force giving ingre-
dents. Oysters come nearer to milk
than almost any other common food.
Their values for supplying the body
with material to build up it's parts,
repair its wastes and furnish it with
heat and energy would be pretty
nearly the same.-Exchange.

Phillips Brooks was the one celebrk
ty who did not wish his photograph
put out for sale. "You may sell
them to the Harvard students, but to
no one else," was his command.
Possibly this was one of the reasons
why ''crimson's men" so reverenced
him. But the students were not
true to their trust. They could not
resist the coaxing Of friends who
wanted portrait of the great pas
tor Of Trinity to rest upon their
mantelpieces. :
There are two rules which must be-
invariably followed in order to make
a strong and true photograph. First,
the photographer must understand
the face of his subject; second, he
must know how to pose that face so
as to bring out its striking qualities.
Sometimes striking view is caught
in glance; again it requires quar-
ter Of an hour.

PENNSYLVANIA For Sound Money.

In spite of the efforts of small clique
of silverites in Philadelphia the Repub-
lican state convention Of Pennsylvania
adopted platform which declares
strongly and clearly against the free
coinage delusion. After indorsing inter-
national bimetallism the plank reads as
follows:
We oppose the debasement of the ma
tional currency by the admission of sill
yer to free and unlimited coinage at the
rate Of 16 to /, for the reason that if
such o policy be adopted it will not be
possible to maintain the parity Of values
Of the two metals, and the purchasing
and debt paying power Of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper, cannot
continue to be equal.

Charreable to the Silver Agitation.

Every holder of land, bonds, notes,
securities or property Of any kind, which
has decreased In value since Jan. /,
1898, can justly charge the greater part
Of this loss to the friends Of silver. 3"
Every laborer thrown out Of employ
ment during this time, or who has suf-
fered reduction Of wages as a result Of
this panic, can justly charge his loss Of
wages to the same source.
These disasters are made none the less
cruel and oppressive by the fact that the
silver party did not intend the result.
This country has suffered as much and
perhaps more from the free silver"
movement than 1T would have suffered
from a great foreign war, excepting
the loss of life. The losses Of war In
just cause might not only be borne with
fortitude, but be considered glorious
sacrifices. The losses Of property and
wages which have come from an "hon-
est" effort to "help silver" and the sill
YER miners are as real as those Of war
and must be borne under the conviction
that they are the result Of an inconceiv-
able folly.-R Weissinger in "What Is
Money?n

Etching Photographs on Glass.

It is now found that in the art Of
etching photographs on glass very
satisfactory result may be secured by
covering the surface with solution
of gum made sensitive with bichro-
mate of potash, and printing the same
under a negative. After the image
has in this manner been produced, it
is busted over with minimum or red
lead, and the red picture which is
thus obtained is fixed and burned ac-
cording to the usual process. The
easily soluble red glass which comes
from this method is treated with
strong sulphuric acid, when a white
matte design is produced, and the pic
tnre appears by transmitted light as
a positive. Some specimens in this
line by German artists are described
as exhibiting superior merit, as COM
pared with those produced by ordi'
nary means.-New York Sun.
