The TaSker Case.

Monday morning the Board of
County Commissioners, accompan-
led by their attorney, Mr.. E. H.
Sincell, Clerk Jacob S. Movers,
ex-County Treasurer Sollars and a
number of witnesses, went down to
Hagerstown to attend court where
the case Of Hiram p. Tasker VS.. the
County Commissioners came up
for trial Tuesday morning in the
Circuit Court for Washington
county, the same haYing beer re-
moved from this county by Mr..
Tasker's attorneys.
The case INVOLVES claim of sey-
eral thousand dollars which the
plaintiff, Mr.. Tasker, says is due
HIM for making up an abstract of
titles for public use from the land
books in Annapolis. On the other
hand the commissioners claim that
Tasker has received sufficient pay
for the work he did and that the
abstracts have in no wise been of
benefit to the county.
The case went through the court
at Hagerstown about year ago,
the county winning, but Tasker's
attorneys took an appeal. The APP
peal was heard in the Court of Ap-
peals and the lower court reversed,
remanding it back for trial upon
the merits of the case.
After the attorneys had gotten
well into the case Yesterday the
plaintiff amended his declaration
which worked continuance of the
case. 1t will now go over until
next November.

Actors Like to Play I'm Company that

There Is an old theatrical supersti-
ton that horses are very lucky TO have
in play, and theatrical superstitiOns,
like all others. die hard. There are one
or two leading London managers who
II they were to reveal their inmOst
thoughts, believe In this superstition,
and to this very day. "Cut the cnckle
and come TO the 'osses," was the favor
lite maxim Of the celebrated Ducrow,
end he had good cause to believe In
osses," for they made him one of the
most prominent men of his time.
Sir Augustus Harris is a firm believer
In the horse theory, for there has not
been n recent successful Drury Lane
drama In which Il horse has not mp.
peared, while great many of them
have owed their success in great
measure to the Introduction OF the
equine. In the present drama running
at Drury Lane is represented for the
first time In the history of the stage
polo match with trained ponies, that
have often played in matches on the
actual ground at birmingham, In the
mimic representation of which, on the
stage, they appear every night.
Sir Augustus Harris tells n good
story of one of these ponies beautiful
little gray, formerly the property OF
Sir George Scott. During one of the re.
hearsals the ponies were brought down
near the foOtlights that they might get
accustomed TO the glare and so not get
frightened during the performance at
night. 1t so happened that one of the
dummy horses that are used in the bat.
tie scene-the Last Stand-was living on
the stage. The little gray pony caught
sight of 1t, and struggled until he got
over to where II lay. He shifted and
shifted at 1t for some minutes and
seemed to be very much puzzled; final
ly, TO the great amusement of every.
body on the stage, he made n vicious
bite ut the dummy's ear, which, not
being very firmly attached, came off
The pony stood still for Il minute with
n strange, frightened look ia his eyes
and then took to his heels up the stage
For weeks afterward it was impossible
to get the pony to come down anywhere
near the footlights.
The largest theatrical stables I'm the
world are those kept by n horscmnn
near Drury Lane Thcatcr. Here one
often sees more than 100 horses that are
being used for various theatrical pur
poses. From these stables horses are
sent all over England with touring
companies. Often there will be as
many as 200 horses travelling in various
parts of the country from this cstnb
lishment alone.-Boston Traveller.

leave but little hand work to be per-
formed. Keep mp the tillage so not
weed is allowed to snow itself.
The tillage is not alone to Ike ep down
weeds, but also to open the soil to
admit sun and air and to keep, at all
times, n thin mulch of loose, dusty
earth upon the surface. Therefore,
cultivation should always be given as
soon after q heavy rain or shower rs
the ground is dry enough to work prop
eriy. The conservation of moisture
in dry time through the agency CT
unremlttiug culture can hardly be
calculated, so enormous is it.
OF course the particular sorts of
vegetables to be sown in any garden
will depend upon the tastes of the in
dividuals especially interested. But
certainly every garden should boast
of successions of peas, beans, corn, to-
matoes, spinach, beets, turnips, GU
cumbers and squash.
Sow peas, spinach, turnips and
beets in the open ground just as early
as the soil can be thoroughly broken
and fined. Sow tomatoes in hotbed
from middle OF March to first or April.
This is plenty soon enough as the
plants cannot safely be set out. in the
North, before last of May or first of
June, and not very large plants are
best for transplanting. Plants that
that are short, thick and blocky are
best for setting in open ground.
Beans and corn must not be sown be-
fore settled warm, growing weather,
when they should be put in in great
variety; wax beans for snappers and
the best beans for Smelling, and early,
medium and late sweetcorn, so as to
have no break throughout the season.

II is gratifying TO know that II we
had declared war with Great Britain
we might have counted upon the ALI
ance of ut least one Kickapoo brave
and one hero OF the tribe OF Sacs and
Foxes, for they have written TO the
President asking for a subvention Of
blankets, and expressing their readi-
ness to take the warpath Immediately.
Such reinforcement would not
amount to much in point OF numbers,
to be sure. bat it's moral significance
would count for something. The
Isolated condition OF England has
OF late compelled attention; she
has no friends among the Euro
pean nationalitieS, and ii now
seems apparent that she has none
among the American wigwams, where
is was formerly supposed that she pre-
served n good deal OF influence. 4
candid survey of the situation aud its
causes will no doubt assure her that
she deserves her unpopularity. She
must correct her overreaching ways
before she can expect TO have any
friends, either among her sister nation
alities or the alien and sporadic ahor-
igine. not taxed. The country will have
to decline the services of the two vol
unteeriug braves for the present. but
Great Britain may see in their orter
what is in store for her if she should
ever show a disposition to break the
peace.-New York Tribune.

FORCING LITTLE PIGS.

The little spring pigs may be pushed
ahead rapidly by little attention in
feeding. From the first they should
be got acquainted with, so as to come
to hand without difficulty. Then a
shallow baking pan is set down before
them with a little sweet cow milk in
it. They will soon learn to drink the
milk, and will look for it. Then n
part of the yard is fenced off with
spaces in the fence for the little pigs
to come through to get the milk. Soon
some meal or ground oats may be
given with the milk, and then dry.
But all this should not lessen the feed
ing of the SOW, who will still he the
mninstay of the litter.
Following this method of keeping
the lite pigs bellIcs full and their
digestive organs Mt work, it is not
difficult to get them weighing forty
or fifty pounds at six weeks old, or
malt this weight ut four weeks, at
which time, when fat, for roasters,
they will be worth 50 or 81 each. A
litter of ten pigs sold at this rate, and
two filters III year, Will make n good
