The following remarkable calculation
on tie length OF time which it would take
Il person to count LOCO, 900, 900 recently
appeared in an issue Of The English Muth.
cnatician:
What is billion? The reply is very
simple. II England billion is L million
times Il million. This is quickly written
and quicker still pronounced. But no
man Is able TO count it. You Will count
100 or 10 u minute. But let us suppose
that you 90 ZIP rs high as 200 n minute,
hour after hour. At that rate you would
count i2.1OO IN hour, 26S, 900 Il day or
100, l2O. eco ina year. Lei Us suppose now
that Adam, at the beginning of his exist
cncc, had bcgUn to court had continued
to Go 80 and was counting still. Had such
u thing been possible he would not yet
have finished the task Of counting Il billion.
To count Il billion would require "a per-
son to count 200 II minute for u period of
9,5I2 years 542 days hours 20 min
utes, providing he should count continu-
ously. But suppose we allow the counter
Il hours daily for rest eating and sleep
ing. Then lie would need 1S,G25 years
3iJ days 10 hours 4o minutes in which
to complete tho task.

Old Customs.

The stanch Upholder of customs often
bases his adherence to them upon the
ground that the! have sprung from some
natural heed of humanity, and therefore
have Il claim upon our continued allegi-
anec. The first statement is undoubtedly
true. But tho inference drawn from it is
frequently unjusti1iable for it takes no &C
count of changing conditions and chang
ing aims. A custom which was at one
time and in Il certain state of society high
~ beneficial may, at Il later time and in
different circumstances, be positively in
furious, and tho bcneflcent aim which
once inspired it may presently be quite lost
sight of amid other and far less worthy
motiyes.-New York Ledger

BEL AIR, MD, NOVEMBER 6, 1896.
A SUMMER PICTURE.

THE brintlcti bee Is booming round tho rose,
The holcysucElc III the air is blown,
And the sweet languor of supreme repose
Upon the dreamy gardenway is thrown.
Tho humminS bird into the lily flies
Amid tho shade that dances on the green,
And down the blue sea of the peaceful skies
The snowy cloudship drifts ON wing Serena.
The holIyhocks nod idly to and fro
Along the box 'rnged path, and on the tree
The dun leaves lisp prelude soft and low
OF coming rain in murmurous ecstasy.
a dark cloud in tho misty distance looms,
rhc flower trcmhlcs, and the leatlet curls.
Beyond the hills tho thunder rolls and booms,
And down the road the dust in eddies whirls.
In the wild gloom the wheat wands toss and
spin,
While DER the fields the winds battaliona
form,
And then all nature madly revels in
The grand, majestic music of the storm.

desired: throw into a tub and let
stand until cold. Gut the meat up.
and when thoroughly cooled. place it
in a barrel or jar and pour the brine
over it, See that the meat is covered
to a depth or two inches or more.
Don't use a barrel that has contained

One day last week the ''isepupl;c

about q wage reduction by the
Pullman Company, of Chicago.
The next day it printed in small
type, in an obscure place the fol
lowing correction:
''Inyestigation shows that the
report telegraphed yesterday that
the Pullman Company had reduced
wages was erroneous. General
Manager George F. Brown says
the men are working under the
same scale that has governed for
three years. Lack of work neces-

previous to the election, but within
the last few days over 300 ncn
have been employed.
The correction deserved as mi;cA
prominence as was given the lie that
brought it forth, but this would have
defeated the object Of the latter
to mislead the people. We notice
the Ironton ''Register" prints the
PRODUCTION story. and as it may
be possible that the editor has over
looked the correction. we direct
his attention to the above para

POSITIVELY vicious in its lies about
wage reductions since the election.
They publish all kinds Of mislead-

the slightest foundation. and rarely
are honest enough to make correc-

YEARS ago, when Washington
County was in the habit of giving
overwhelming Democratic MAORI
ties, the Republicans never expect
ed, and rarely got any, of the
county offices. ltwasnot considered
good Democracy in those days to
let a Republican come within smell
ing distance of a public Office.
Nevertheless, every two years the
Republicans stood up and We're
counted, and retired without
saying anything. But while
thus Feeping quiet they were all
the while energeticalIy engaged il
saving wood. With each succeed
ing election the total figure Of their
numbers grew, and finally, with the
beginning of the present decade.
they had about overcome the Dem
ocratic majority, and tie light Of
