At meeting of the board of directors of

Broemmel was elected. He succeeded

Ladies' Southern ties. 81 As. all shades,

The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-07-03

The ordinary way of stringing black
bass or other fish is to take a four-foot
piece of challxline, tie a crossbar Of
wood the size of pencil at either end,
and then, as fast as the fish are taken,
they are put ON the line by showing one
of the sticks mp through the gills and
out of the mouth. That method plays
havoc with the gills of the fish, and very
often the fish dies in the water, where it
should have lived for considerable pc
riod. The way to do it is to have a
light chain instead Of chalkline, four
feet long, and bar at one end to keep
the fish from slipping off. A heavy
piece of wire is attached to the other
end, and sharpened so that it may be
passed through the lower jaw from the
outside and out of the mouth. The adj
vantages of this method are apparent.
The fish's breathing apparatus is not
injured, and it lives for long while,
thereby keeping hard and palatable,
The chain is much cleaner stringer,
since it may be boiled at the end of each
trip, and so thoroughly cleansed.-

Up till the present reign the knights in
existence in the United Kingdom were
those of the Garter, the Thistle, ST..
Patrick, the Bath, and SIS. Michael and
George. Since then there have been
founded the Order of the Star of India,
1861, which takes precedence of the SIS.
Michael and George; the Order of the
Indian Empire, 1878; the Distinguished
Service Order, 1886; the Royal Order of
Victoria and Albert, 1862 flor ladies),
and the Imperial Order of the Crown Of
India, also for ladies, but the two latter
hardly come under knighthoods any
more than the Victoria Cross and the
Albert medals. Recently the Gazette
notified the creation of a new "order
of knighthood," to be called the Royal
Victorian Order. No intimation is
given for what class it is intended, how
many classes it is to contain, or what
will be it's insignia. But perhaps a
niche in it may be found for Alfred
Austin, and then it may not be neces-
sary to announce him in drawing-rooms

down the drops, and the world went on.
The woman brushed her hair from
her eyes, gathered up her skirts. and
walked home alone.
It was a beautiful morning after the
storm. Every one was on the porches
watching guard-mounting with as
much interest as if it had never been
gone through before, deeply engrossed
in the choosing Of the commanding Of
ficer's orderly.
A second lieutenant sat upon the
steps of Capt Rossini's quarters, beside
the captains fair daughter, who was
smiling and talking in her old lively
way. The second lieutenant reflected
that she could not have been much in
love with Taunton after all; she seemed
il nowise depressed by his absence on
an expedition which was not quite safe,
at best. The second lieutenant gathered
hopes, for there was a lingering fond
ness for the pretty creature in his own
heart.
So they talked and laughed and
watched guard-mounting In the sun
shine of the cool morning. When 1T
was over, and the adjutant, and officer OF
he day and the ex-officer of the day were
going their ways, there came sound of
the hoofs of galloping horse, and
courier from the agency drew up at tho
commandments quarters, while the peo-
pie on the porches cfaned their necks
and strained their ears in a vain at
tempt to hear the mud-splashed mans
message.
The Rossinis' house was next to the
commanding officers. Lucia jumped
up and ran down near the courier.
'Lucia! come back here! What do
you mean?" Numbered the captain. in
dulging in some assorted oaths.
She wheeled about and faced him.
81 am going to see what has happened
to my husband" she said, deliberately,
and did not wait to notice the look on
his dark face. The second lieutenant
leaned against the railing for support.
The courier's words were low; but
Lucia heard the tidings of death as
plainly as if he had shouted them aloud.
She fiushed-and then turned very pale.
There came a queer thud in her heart
and a whir in her head, and all she saw
was thousands upon thousands of black

Natives of the Country Look Upon 1t
with Superstltious Awe.
One by one the traditions of antiquity
ard the illusions of youth are ruthless
" dispelled. Many people will hear with
sorrow and regret that the sacred tree
of Kum-Bum in Thibet is, on no less
an authority than Mr.. Thistleton-Dyer,
Of Kew Gardens, fraud and an i'm
posture, like the mahatmas of that
interesting but thoroughly mendacious
land. Who has not heard of the won
derful tree which sprang from the spot
where the mother of Toong-Kape
shaved her worthy offspring's head
when she dedicated him to the divini-
ties and threw his matted hair on the
ground? Ever since that memorable
event the leaves on it's branches and the
bark on it's trunk have not been the
same as on ordinary trees, but con-
tanned sacred prayers and symbols,
which were supposed to grow naturally
on them, and diffused a strong odor of
incense. The priests were very jealous
of it, watched over it themselves, and
were careful to prevent strangers see
ing either leaves or branches until
ready to be sold, with letters and signs
on them. Travellers, however, have now
managed to obtain specimens, and they
have been critically examined by ex-
perts here. The tree has been identified
as an ordinary syringa villosa. common
in China, and any marks which the
leaves contain are impressed on them
by the priests with molds, aided prob
ably with heat. AS Mr.. Thistleton-
Dyer remarks, the sacred tree is IAN
elaborate fraud" Kum-Bum, there

plant in Kent which was believed to
produce live geese on it's branches,
One of the early popes sent messen-
ger to Investigate our southeastern

rived the people there told him the tree
grew in the midlands; in the midlands
they said it was only to be found in
Scotland; in Scotland they said it -four
ished solely in the Orl1neys, and had
he gone there he would very likely have
been informed that the goose tree acted
as the north pole. At all events he
could not find it. The sacred plant OF

KING LEAR AMENDED.

This Old Gentleman Used q Bat of Strategy
and Had a Good Time.
A well-known attorney told a good
story the other day about man who
had such a profound contempt for wills
that he followed the example of King
Lear and divided his property among
lis children before death. Like unto
Lear's children, when they had thus
been duly provided for against material
needs, they gradually betrayed the fact
by their actions that the old man was
no longer as much to be loved and
obeyed as before he had disposed of his
goods and chattels. He found difficulty
in securing a really comfortable place
to sleep under the roof of any of his Off
spring, and the ill-treatment with
which he was eventually accorded
would have shortened his life, had he
not, as a last resort, consulted wise
legal friend. Said the latter, for he
trusted the old man implicitly:
"Give me receipt for this gold which
I have here" taking bag from the
safe, "and will let you take it few
days. Go home, be apparently mystic
rious and secretive in your actions, and
when you think you have sufficiently
aroused the curiosity of your children.
at whose house you are now staying,
manage to count the gold on the table
OF your room, making it seem as much
as possible, and at time when you are
sure you are watched"
This advice the old man accepted.
There was more than once some one at
the keyhole, when he counted his pre-
tended hoard of gold coin, and it was
not long before a marked change came
over the manners of his children. Those
who had seen and heard could not keep
it from the rest, and, as result, nothing
was too good for the old gentleman
When he was convinced that he had
made the impression desired, he re-
turned the gold to the old lawyer, and
thereafter lived without want. When
he died the strong box, which he had
kept locked with a great show of Sc
crecy, was opened, and there was moth
ing in it but Ratchet and a slip of pa
per, which read:
"He who would give away his prop
crty before he is dead, would do better
to take this Ratchet and cut off his
head. "-Washingto Post.

few words about these red cells. They
are so minute that there are countless
numbers of them in the tiniest drop Oh
blood. Yet each one has peculiar
shape. for which none of them ever
vary.
An adult of medium weight has
about twelve pints of blood in the
body, and yet every small drop OF this
contains millions of red corpuscles'
The number of them in the blood cam
not be comprehended by the human
mind. Of what use are they?
One great object of breathing is 70
bring the oxygen of the air in close
contact with the blood which is In the
lungs, for oxygen is necessary for the
support of life. It is the business OK
these little red cells in the blood, to
carry the oxygen which we breathe
in the lungs to every part OF the BODY.
The most minute part of every organ
and tissue in the body must have it's
supply of oxygen or it will perish, and
the only way the oxygen can reach all
these parts is by means of these little
red cells. No matter how pure the air
NAV be which we breathe, if there are
not enough red cells in the blood to
carry a sufficient amount OF oxygen
through the body we will surely suffer.
Plenty of fresh air is essential, and so
is an abundant supply of these little
"oxygen-carriers" necessary. These
little red bodies have been called
"boats for carrying oxygen" Ger
tainly not a very bad name for them.
Oxygen starvation is shown by poor
circulation, loss of appetite, debility,
anaemia nervousness, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, repeated colds, muscular and
mental weakness, and many other
symptoms What is the remedy? Some
thing which will make more OF these
oxygen carrying "boats." Nothing
will accomplish this quicker than
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites. 1t goes to the foun-
dation of things. 1t greatly increases
the number of red corpuscles in the
blood. What follows? More oxygen
is carried through the system, and
new life and vigor are impaired. The
oil nourishes the body, and the hypo'
phosphites gives stability and strength
to the nervous system. AS the large
size of SCOTS Emulsion sells for one
dollar, so you can get "oxygen boats
tor one dollar"
SCOTS Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world. that will stand

the corn he could cultivate the peanuts
at the same time. Planted them about
the 1st of May. They can be planted
any time after the danger of killing

fully selected at the time of planting;
also carefully prepared so as not to
break the skin of tie kernel. He put
