A HURRICANE INCIDENT

What the Old Ceder Tree Held I'm
Its Roots
The rocks that bound the majotn art
of Howard county, and that find their
most prominent home in the bosoms of
the high hills that compose tho frontis-
piece Of Ellicott City, hold within their
precincts the most interesting and
thrilling records of the great storm.
On one OF the most prominent hills
that garrison the city is located
graveyard, within whose shadow lie
the remains Of those who gave the
name to the town--the Ellicotts. In it's
great sweep Of destruction from the
south the storm selected Howard coun-
ty in general and Ellicott City in par.
ticular. for the display of Its power.
In the old Ellicott burying ground
for years there has stood a noble cedar
tree. 1t was the sentinel at the grave
of the late Mr.. Nathaniel Ellicott.
AS though II had been an infant pine,
the wind, in its fury, lifted the big
cedar tree up from it's resting place of
many years, and, what had been the
pride OF the old cemetery, In a twink
ling, became food for the debris pile.
But the mere uprooting of the old
cedar tree was not all that the wind
did yesterday morning. When the
sightseers were making their rounds
they discovered something attached to
the roots Of the tree that was foreign
to the ordinary growth of the earth.
1t was a coffin containing a hi nan
body that the roots of the tree held In
its grasp.
A. close investigation revealed the
fact that the coffin which the old tree
roots held in their hands was that Of
Nathaniel Ellicott when brought to full
view. The roots of the tree held the
coffin just like the hands of q skeleton
would hold an object. one root, or
finger. had wended its way through the
coffin lid and the body Of the coffin,
and made an opening. Another had
slipped under the coffin, forming q
perfect wreath around it. In the up
roofing Of the cedar the top of the
coffin was broken OF, and a glance at
the interior given. In 1t were two rib
bones and n leg bone. But for the
old tombstone that deied the power of
the storm, 1t would have been difficult
to tell who had been the occupant Of
the upturned coffin.
But in letters plain were these words:
ITO the memory of Nathaniel Elllcott,
who died jar. Is, 1871, in the seventy.
eighth year Of his age. Son Of Andrew
aid Elizabeth Ellicott."
As soon as the relatives Of the Ell.
colt family, residing in Ellicott City,
heard of the occurrence, they employed
an undertaken. and the body was re.

Feminine Dairy Wisdom.
Dorothy Tucker writes as follows to
the Farm Journal:
Cows will give the largest return fol
care and feed of eny animal on the
farm.
On not leave the cows and calves out
during cold nights. A chill will mate
rally check the growth Of the calf and
will not be beneficial to the COW.
Do not mix warm and cold milk.
Do not mix sweet and sour cream
just before churning. The sweet cream
will all be left in the buttermilk If yOr
do.
We hope you have not neglected te
put in a good amount Of wheat bran
to feed with roots, corn, etc. 1t makes
strong muscles and healthy bodies, and
helps build up the nerve force.
1t pays to purchase wheat bran tc
feed on the farm, as 1t is one of the
few things that ran be fed to stock
and yet return nearly its full value In
manure. .
This should not be ignored. as the
dalryman's success depends upon the
productiveness Of his farm, rs well as
the skillful management of his dairy
DO not attempt to feed cured fodder

and store it in q NOW. Nearly all of il

bedding.
If YOU have not already arranged the
COW stables so the sunlight can enter,
Il, SO at once. Do not oblige the cows
to pass the winter in dark, illy-ventilat-
ed stables this winter.
Don't keep a dirty, disorderly man
around the stables.
If COWS are kept and MIXED in dirty,
unventilated stables, strictly first-class
butter cannot be made from the milk.
This is why winter-made butter is
often so poor and spoils so quickly.
With proper care, proper feed and

made in winter as in summer, and at

butter From Fresh Cows ..1 strip.

Pef0.
Bulletin No. 50 from the Iowa ES.
pertinent station reports an experiment
on the effect whach the period Of lacta-
tton has upon butter flavor. 1t Is sften
said, the bulletin states, that 1t is ne
cessary to have a part Of the milk from
fresh rows in order to produce butter
of good flavor. In the test. the COWS Of
the college herd that had been In milk
for more than six months We're regard.
ed as ''strippers." while those that had
come in fresh within that time were In
the 'fresh" class. The average num-
Der Of days since calving in the first
class was 239 day and in the latter 1O7
days. The feeding and management
of the cows, as well as Of the milk,
was similar, and the butter made sep
arately from the fresh and stripper
milk. when scored by w. s. Moore,
official scorer for the Elgin board of
trade. scored alike, at 95 points for
each lot. The conclusion from the ex-
pertinent is that the period of lactation
has no effect upon the flavor of the
butter made by the separator system.
Under the gravity system there may
be some difference, as many dairymen
claim, and the possible explanation is
offered that as the fat glObules become
smaller as lactation advances, more
time is required for the cream to rise
by the gravity method in the case Of
shippers than with fresh cows, where
the fat globules' are larger. 1t has
been found that when cream or milk
has been kept at n low temperature
for some time a somewhat bitter fla.
vor is often developed, and the organ.
ism which produces this bitter flavor
may be the reason why the butter
made from the milk of strippers is gen.
orally considered inferior to that made
from the milk of fresh cows. The time
necessary for Dreaming by the gravity
process Is an essential element In the
development of the bitter flavor, and
when the separator is used the milk
does not have the time to become bit

An EARLY Albany Church.

The first church at Albany, built in
1867, was simply a block house with
loopholes for the convenient use of
guns in defense against the Indians, If
defense were needed. On the roof
were placed three small cannon, COM
manding the three roads which led to
the church. The edifice was called "a
handsome preaching house." aud it was
boosted that it was almost al large as
the fine one in New Amsterdam. Its
corner stone was laid with much cere.
mony. Over all hung in a belfry a bell
presented to the little congregation by
the directors of the Amsterdam cham
Der of the West India company. The
pulpit was the gift Of the same board
Of West India directors, since the twen-
ty-fve beavers skins sent for its pur-
chase proved greatly damaged, and
hence Inadequate as payment. This
pulpit still exists-a pedestal with a
ilight of narrow steps and a curved
balustrade: 1t is about four feet In
height and only three in diameter. 1t
is o%ctagonal; one of the sides being
hinged, forms the entrance door or gate.
All the small panels and mouldings are
of oak. 1t stood in a space, at the end
Of the center aisle.

BULUWAYO is AGAIN BESEIGED.
The Matabeles Massing Around the
Place for Another Attack.

London, July 27.-A dispatch from
Capetown reports that intelligence re-
ceiyed from Buluwayo is that the
Matabeles are again massing around
that place. The situation seems no
better than it was last April when
Buluwayo was practically besieged
for weeks.
Various operations, some Of them re-
ported as highly successful, and in
which Cecil Rhodes was an active
figure, have been conducted against
the insurgent natives, but they were
apparently influential in stamping out
the disaf1ection. The news received
yesterday from Capt. Nicholson dis
closes positive reverse in the Metoppe
Hills and the withdrawal or retreat Of
his forces deepens dissatisfaction with
the state Of affairs in Rhodcsia.
To-day's reports from Buluwayo are
that Captain Nicholson is remain
ing there in order 10 guard the LANCER
and that the pickets around the town
have had to be largely increased owing
to the massing of hostile natives in the
neighborhood.
Telegram from Gwello. reported in
dispatch from Capetown, says that
Mai. Hurrell left there on July 18th
to Join the force at Fort Victoria. He
had a sharp engagement with the
enemy at Belingwe, which lasted for
four hours Three of his troops were
killed ard Maj. Hurrell afterward
| Joined the forces at Fort Victoria and
proceeded from there towards NoemaS
Kraal Heavy firing has since beer
heard, but the result of the engage
| ment was not known at Gwelo wher
the telegram was dispatched.
The unfavorabe news from Rhode
STA renews the suggestions for the dis
patch Of additional imperial forces t
assist against the Matabeles. Colonia
Secretary Chamberlain has shown him
self loath to agree 10 this step, it j
believed. on political grounds, owing
to Jealous fears, certain to be aroused
in the Transyaal. These would not b.
lessened if the imperial reinforcement
were to be sent at this time by tn
fact that Cecil Rhodes is on the groun'
and with practically free hand.
