The Heavens In the North.

From the last days Of May to the end
of July in the northern part of this land
the sun shines day and night upon It's
mountains, fords, rivers, lakes, forests.
valleys, towns, villages, hamlets, fields
and farms, and thus Sweden and Nor
way may be called the land of the mid
night sun. During this period of con-
tinuous daylight the stars are never seen,
the moon appears pale and sheds no
light upon the earth. Summer is short,
giving Just time enough for the wild
flowers to grow, to bloom and to fade
away, and barely time for the husband
man to collect his harvest, which, how
ever, ia sometimes nipped by summer
frost.
A few weeks after the midnight sun
has passed the hours Of sunshine shorten
rapidly, and by the middle OF August
the air becomes chilly and the nights
colder, although during the day the sun
is warm Then the grass turns yellow,
the leaves change their color, W1ther ana
fall; the swallows and other migrating
birds fly toward the south; twilight
comes once more; the stars, one by one,
make their appearance, shining brightly
in the pale blue sky; the moon shows
itself again as the queen of the night and
lights aud cheers the long and dark days
of the Scandinavian winter.
The time comes at last when the sun
disappears entirely from sight; the heav-
ems appear in blaze of light and glory
and the stars and the moon pale before
the aurora borealis.-"L Land Of the Mid.

The influence of Association.

One sometimes wonders at the singular
lapses into slovenly and illiterate blum,
ders conspicuous III men and women who
"should know better" True, they should
and probably do know better, but in
daily practice few people rise very much
above the ordinary level of those with
whom they always converse. A city
bred girl went to live III a part of the
country where provincialislns are the
current coin of daily talk. Returning a
few years later to her home, no one
would have supposed her to be the same
person, so many queer little phrases and
downright forms of speech, inelegant
and lacking in good form, had she, very
susceptible person, picked up and adopt

The Antiquity of tlhe Lark.

The very first thought suggested by a
study of the migration of birds is one of
time. In tracing the migratory habit to
its origin we find the history reaching
back to the times previous to man, and
we begin to realize how ancient is the
aristocracy Of the air The lark did not
come over with William the Conqueror,
but his armorial bearing, if he thought it
worth while to have any, would antedate
those of every noble family in Great
Britain.-Mrs. j. b. Southworth in Al

CURRENCY,
The following call is published in
the Oxford Press:

The following call is published in
the Oxford Press:
A call has been made for meet
ing of farmers (and others interest
ed) on Thursday December 18th,
at p. M, in Lincoln Grange Hall,
for the consideration of the cur
rency question, a problem involving
so deeply the interest and welfare
of the large producing class of cit
liens. This call is prompted from
the conscious need for farmers to
know more on this subject. An
object of the meeting is to form a
permanent association for educa-
tional purposes, to use standard
works on political economy and
such other means as will best serve
to enlighten.
This is most important move,
and involves not only farmers but
every one, high and low in society.
Money stands at the base of civ
ilization, and its study is the most
important of all questions that con-
Germ the well being of society.

Plain Talk.

The editor of the Laurel Demo-
crat talks in the following plain way
to his subscribers. Some other
editors we are acquainted with
might talk the same way, and the
public couldn't blame them either.
Do you owe the printer? Well,
pay him, for he needs his money.
He works for it, and is as much
entitled to it as any other working
man. We have on our books about
$4,000 and are unable to collect
enough to live decently on, much
less pay our just debts. Our
creditors say ugly things about us,
not because we deserve them, but
simply because hundreds of sub
scribers fail to pay even the small
sum of one dollar a year. Now,
friends, we need money, and we
need it now. Will you pay what
you owe3

A Book Worth Having.

Demorests Magazine for January is
only another proof that this excellent
magazine is growing better with each
issue, and, valuable as it has been, it even
excels itself in this number.
Alice Barber Stephens contributes full
page colored picture, Christmas Shop
ping" which has all the grace and at
Effectiveness that this artists work usually
has, and is reproduced in soft, beautiful
colors which make it a most attractive
frontispiece. Four other handsome full
page pictures and two pages of notable
portraits are followed by the leading
article of the number, "The National
Horse Show" which is full of lively in
terest and is illustrated with the most
spirited and artistic drawings by Max
Keeper, Clinedinst, and others. Two
interesting articles on the queer and
always interesting Chinese are furnished:
chinatown in New York" describing
the curious habits of the Cinnamon who
flock to that city, and beautifully illus
trated with pictures of the men and their
houses; and Chinese Superstitions, by
Henry Liddell, NJ. D., which is full of
new and curious bits of information.
The rigors of a Winter in the Yellow
stone Park are wildly described and
finely illustrated. Under the title SIS
Chivalry Dead? ?" several prominent
women discuss the manners of men and
women in business and show that at least
they are not all of the same opinion.
The fiction of the number is of the very
best. One of Gilbert Parker's finest
stories is given. Margaret Sutton Briscoe
concludes her sparkling little play, "a
Dinner Engagement" and J. T. Newcomb
contributes "The Curing of the College
Graduate" All the departments are up
to the usual high standard, trimming
over with useful, practical suggestions
and information concerning many topics
of current interest in science, letters, art,
sanitation. and the household. The
fashion department is larger than usual
this month, is beautifully illustrated, and
full of suggestion and helpfulness.

Horse Thieves

On Monday night five year old
bay mare was stolen from G. B.
Love, near Conowingo, and a buggy
from Ed Kirby. The thief also
took set of rubber harness and
striped lap robe from Love. A re-
ward of $25 is offered for the thief
and property.
The party in pursuit of the
thieves thought they had them sur
rounded in the big woods south of
Rock Springs, but they made their
escape and were traced to Porter's
Bridge.
A detachment of the pursuers
came to Rising Sun the following
night, reused Sam'l. Hambleton up
and wanted to collect posse of
men to help catch the thieves as
they passed through. One of the
Lynches came through from Colora
in a buggy in the meantime and
they gave chase but discovered
their mistake as soon as they came
up with him.
On Monday night a light gray
horse, buggy, harness, robes and
whip were stolen from William P.
Trego of West Brandywine town
ship, Pa. A reward of 500 is
offered by Unity Detective Associa-
ton for the detection of the thief
and recovery of the property.
Two Russian Jews had been ar
rested the day before near Dublin,
Hartford county. They had been
followed by citizens who suspicioned
them as thieves and when near
Dublin church a constable was
called out of the meeting, who
questioned them. The constable
have no evidence to hold the strang-
ers, who declared they were ped
oilers, they were allowed to pro-
coed. This did not satisfy some of
the men who drove towards Belair
and met the Sheriff. He arrested
the Jews and committed them to
Jail. They gave as their names
Adalof Hoon and Joseph Davis,
residing at 1906 Highlandtown
Ave-, BALTIC. Four revolvers, two
loaded, two iron jimmies and a lot
of dry goods were found in their
wagon. Word was received
Wednesday that the team driven
by Hoon and Davis was stolen
recently from Iona, New Jersey.
They claim they bought the team
last Saturday in Philadelphia.

Alexander of Charlestown, this county
was surprised, when entering his stable
to find his horse had been stolen i'll the
night, and his dearborn wagon was also
gone. Mr.. Alexander's harness being
locked up the intruders went to Mrs
Benoni Cooling's stable and took her
harness. In the morning the wagon was
found near Mr. Graham's undertaking
establishment the harness lying on one of
the back streets near the river and the
horse was discovered wandering around

forced an entrance to the store and after
possessing themselves of lot of goods

A Brilliant Lecture.

AS first of the Rising Sun course
of lectures for the winter, Col. Geo.
w. Balm delivered his new lecture,
entitled "The New Woman and the
Old Man," on Monday evening last.
AS with all Of Col. Bain's lectures,
''The New Woman and the Old
Man" sparkled with fine thoughts,
clothed with the choicest flowers OF
language. The "New Woman" is
the new fields of industry, intellec-
tual and material, into which the
women are pushing their ways, ald
the "Old Mani is the conservative
habit which chains men from the
same advance which woman is
making. The lecture must be
heard, and heard clothed in Col.
Bain's peculiar eloquence to be fully
enjoyed and appreciated. A num-
Der of vacant seats in the hall fifty
represented the "Old Man" element
in our section, which keeps so many
away from enjoying such mental
treat as one of Col. Bain's finest
lectures. We trust that families
in the town and surrounding coun-
try will, for the good example of
the younger members, if not for
their own special pleasure and
profit, patronize the lectures which
are to follow in the course during
the winter months.
The committee is at this time
able to report the following attrac-
tons for the remaining features of
the course: Jan. 9th, Judge AL
fred Ellison, a lecturer of national
renown; Feb. -, The Cecilia
Musical Club of Boston, assisted by
Karl Marshall White, Boston's
popular humorist and impersonator;
March =, Prof. Byron w. King, a
star reciter and elocutionist of the
first magnitude; April -, the in
comparable Copeland, who will de-
liver his new and best lecture,
"Seeing the Elephant"
Arrangements are being made to
secure noted humorist for an en-
tertainment on Christmas night,
and if completed announcements
will appear within few days.
The price for course tickets for
the four entertainments is $1.25.
What more suitable for Christ
mas present could be found or
desired =?
