Deakins line for the purpose of show
ing that neither of these lines as run
from the Fairfax Stone is a true me-
ridian line, and therefore cannot full
fill the call of Maryland's charter.
The Monroe line run by West Nir-
ginia being 81 rods east of Michler's
at the Pennsylvania line, while the
so-called Deakins is 232 rods east.
The work in the field has been
pushed with energy, and it will be
seen that the final map and report
will cover the running of four distinct
lines from the Potomac to Pennsylva-
mia, and will prove that there have
been but two meridian lines run, that
by Michler in 1859 and the Brown &
Bauer in 1897.
As additional evidence of Mary
lands claim, numerous old land
grants made by the Colonial Govern
ment in 1774 and subsequently con-
firmed by this State, will be located,
as they-lie wholly or IN part west Of
both the Michler and so-called Dea-
kins line, and not far from the Brown
g. Bauer line They will show not
only Maryland's claim to territory
within these lines, but that at that
early date there must have been some
| knowledge of the more western
| source. Within n few dayS the new
line will have been finished, and
should the court decide in our favor
/ its adoption will add nearly 40 square
miles to the area of Garrett county,
and make a handsome increase in her
/ taxable basis.
In my next letterI will describe the
| instruments and methods of work
employed upon the survey.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS

To VOTERS, III:-Firmly do we be-
lieve in the national heart, and that
its beats are true with desire for ma
tional health and greatness. Just as
we have confidence in the depth and
purity of the great ocean, though
perhaps only few muddy wavelets
come near our feet along the beach;
so do we look in faith down along the
troubled surface of political life to the
great body in whom we trust. We
must believe in ourselves, in our pos
sible glory, in our destiny as repub-
lie, in the peaceful development of
government by self-governing
hosts, for can we not detect in our
very geography the tracings of a
mighty purpose, and in our history
can we not hear the actual football of
the Almighty? Without faith in your
self you individually will become a
weakling element and nOn-entity;
without faith in our nation, a weak
/ ening element in its blood. When
| belief perishes, We perish; for the be-
lief of the heart moldeth the outer
! life. When the vision of heights un-
attained still stretches before us,
happy are we as a nation. Out of OBJ
security comes a voice to your eal

There is no better preventive Of nerv-
GUS exhaustion than regular, unhurried,
muscular exercise If we could moder-
ate our hurry, lessen our worry and in
crease our open air exercise, large
proportion Of nervous diseases would be
abolished. For those who cannot get q
sufficient holiday the best substitute Is
an occasional day in bed. Many whose
nerves are constantly strained in their
daily avocation have discovered this for
themselves. A Spanish merchant in
Barcelona told his doctor that he always
went to bed for two or three days when
ever he could be spared from his bust
ness, and he laughed at those who spent
their holidays on toilsome mountains.
A hard worked woman, who has for
many years conducted large wholesale
business, retains excellent nerves at an
advanced age, owing, it is believed, to
her habit Of taking one day week in

The olsm's body is completely en-
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one Of which the foot
can be pushed out. The other is for the
siphon, or what is commonly known as
the meek" Of the clam. In some re-
spects the clam may be better off than
we are. for he has little brain in his
foot and also a gland for secreting
strong flbers. With this he spins bys.
sus by which he can attach himself to
whatever he likes He does not even
have n search for his food, but waits
for it to como to him. He makes bur-
row in the mud or sand, attaching him
self to the bottom by the byssus Then
he thrusts his siphon up through the
mud and water until it reaches the sur
face. The siphon Is made up Of two
tubes, the water flowing in through one
and out through the other.
When the infiowing current, laden
with minute plants and an mails, reach
es the gill chamber, some OF these are
sifted out and retained for food, while
the water and waste matter flow out
through the other tube. -Margarot w.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.

DR.. Parkhurst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage to the Lowell of Commerce.
II cannot dismiss this matter without
deprecating the tendency SO conspicu-
ously operative among us to degrade
marriage to the level Of commerce,
writes the Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst,
ID. d., in The Ladies' Home Journal in
q paper on "The Young Man and Mar
riage." This is not denying that there
are material considerations that in this
matter, as III all others, require to be re-
spected. A i,oor young man marrying a

that their life will become more and

or their possible offspring will ever

"Nor, on the other hand, does my
objection lie against any amount of
contingent assets with which either or
both Of the contracting parties may
chance to be endowed. Ny only conten-
tion Ia that in every marriage not ss-
sentially unholy the basal element ia

fraction upon the spirit Of the seventh
commandment. The voluminous dis
plays with which we know such unions
to be sometimes celebrated only aggra-
vate the mischief and operate to teach
our young people in all conditions of
life that marriage may be reduced to
species of traffic, differing from the
dealings on the Stock or Produce Ex-
changes only in some Of the details with
which the bargain is consummated.
Such examples are distinctly alien to
the entire genius Of the institution Of
marriage"

BICYCLE GRIPS.
The Habit of Holding the Handle Bar at
the Center.

the center.
Assume, If you please, that the grips
are properly placed ut the ends Of the
handle bar, from 12 to 1S inches apart,
and that the proper place for the riders
hands is on the grips. The fact remains
that the average rider seldom touches
his grips in riding, but grips the naked
bar on either side Of and close to the
top of the steering head. Are we to in.
fer from this that the standard Of handle
bar construction Is all wrong and that
the grips should be at the top of the
bar and not more than eight inches
apart, or that the bar should be left
long to meet the exigencies of rough
riding, while the material of which the
grips are made should cover the entire
bar up to within an inch or two Of the
center, or that it would be we'll to have
a pair of supplementary grips at the
place indicated by the position assumed
by the rider, or what?
Undoubtedly the present standard
handle bar is correct The average
rider, for one thing, has his grips drop
ped so low that he cannot reach them
conveniently, SO that his easiest position
is with his hands on the top of the bar,
and again many riders, with level or up
turned bars, who are able to reach their
grips comfortably, have acquired the
habit of grasping the nickel in defer
ence to the popular idea. We think that
every rider is obliged ut times to use
his grips. Full handle bar leverage is
necessary whenever steering is rendered
difficult by rough surface or otherwise.
At such times every rider finds that the
standard bar comes In handy Supple
mentary grips would detract measure
bly, from the trim appearance Of the
handle bar, and II may be doubted
whether cyclists as a GLASS would toler-
ate them. A bar entirely covered with
cork or other grip material would speed
lily become soiled and make sorry
looking object In comparison with the
bright nickeled bar.-American Cyclist.
