Tobacco and Rice In Maryland.

According to the Baltimore News the
farmers of Maryland are becoming in
terested in the movement for a general
cultivation of tobacco and for the intro
duction of the raising Of rice. In earlier
days tobacco was grown throughout
the state, but for the last half century
it has been confined to the counties of
southern Maryland. Rice has never
been grown in the state, but the recent
success with this crop in lower New
Jersey has led many to think that il can
be proftably taken up in Delaware and
Maryland. The yield OF rice is from
IS to 60 bushels an acre, and the net
profit is said to be from S25 to SIS an
acre

The high wind that prevailed did con.
siderable damage to the levees along
the Algiers shore, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat of late date. Thu
wind after sunset blew especially hare
against that side of the river. The
waves were blown over the revetmen1
and in some places did much damage tc
the earthwork. The guards were very
active. They reported promptly al
vasnings, and where the occasion de.
1nanded it the damage was promptly
repaired.
One Of the curiosites of the flood in

I here had been trouble there for some
days with seepage, and a force of men
had been employed closing the crcv-
ices and cracks through which the wa.
ter percolated There Was an unusual
quantity at one place one night, and
the foreman Of the gang, going over to
the spot the other morning to ascertain
the reason, announced the hole had
been caused by an alligator, which had
burrOWed through from under the
wharf. His trail could be plainly seen
in the mud, and the worknen, in speak
ing Of it to Sergt. Cologne, command
ing the Algicrs station, said that they
judged that he must have been at least
four feet long. They think the wa
ter covered all the resting places that he
might have had under the wharf, and
he decided to bore d hole through the
bank, and thus mix his tine between
dry land and water.

THE CHILDREN's CLOTHES.

Moderation in bows and collars would
improve many a little boy-child's APP
pearance and make him more comforta-
BILE. In many cases there is more bow
or collar than boy.
Picturesqueness may be attained
without sacrificing the sweet simplicity
which is childhood's most pleasing
characteristic. The cut of the gown
gives this quality, and not the trimming
of il.
Do not overdress little girls or boys,
especially in brilliant colors. A simple
little gown in crimson or scarlet is not
out of place, but frills or flounces or
nuttering ribbons convert the red gown
into a bedizened piece of finery.
Convenience and henlthfulness should
be the first considerations in children's
dresses, especially for very small chill
dren. Long skirts make very uncom-
Portable little Greenaway girls, and
give that picturesqueness which should
only be seen in dolls or picture books.

power for good. She is a thorough

An American Discovery
John Morrow, an Eminent Chemist OF
Springfield, o., Finds a Remedy
That Promises TO Revolutionize
the Practice of Medicine.

| The present year will always be notable
one in the history of the nineteenth century
| for the many wonderful discoveries IL records.
Every branch of science has made great strides,
the most remarkable of which, perhaps have
/ been made in the practice of medicine. Now
comes the information that John Morrow, an
eminent chemist of Springfield, Ohio, has dis
covered remedy that promises TO be almost
infallible in curing all diseases of the kidneys.
/ So many Of the most important advances of
medical science are made by foreign scientists
that such a report is not only of great import
/ but highly gratifying as we'll.
MOrrow's discovery, while the true ingredi ;
ents have not yet been published, is in the
/ form OF yellow tablet and IS known to the
medical world as Morrows kidneoids.
This remarkable remedy has been tried in
some of the most severe cases of chronic and
acute diseases of the kidneys, and in each case
has quickly produced the most beneficial re-
suits.
| The fact that death from Bright's disease
shows a daily increase is an unpleasant indi-
cation that disorder of the kidneys is fast be-
coming an afiiietion OF the human race and any
remedy that promises sure relief is indeed a
| blessing to mankind.
The symptoms OF deranged XII news are too
apparent to require a physicians diagnosis:
pain in the side and back, aching bones, CON
tinual feeling of languor. are followed by i'm
paired vision, loss of appetite. swelling of the
hands and feet and so ON until Bnghts dis
ease gets hold.
1t IS so insidious in its attack that the busy
man or woman too often associates the symp-
toms with some trifiing ailment until the dee
velopment of the disease causes complete
collapse. With Morrow's Kidneoids il IS in
tended to remedy all this by enabling any one
TO stop the progress IF the disease and effect
permanent cure without recourse to q physi-
clan or the abandonment of their duties.
L. is said that one Of the largest drug con
Germs in the United States Is negotiating for
the absolute control Of MorTow's kidneoids,
which they intend placing in every drug store,
where it can be procured by any one without
the necessity of securing a physicians pre-
scription.

Family washing can be made much
easier il benzine is used in the wafer in
the following way: The wash is soaked
the night before washday as usual, a
half-cupful OF benzine being added to
the water before the linen splaced in it.
The next morning, just before the wash
boiler is placed upon the range. another
half-cupful is added tothat water. Very
little rubbing win then be required to
clean the linen thoroughly. Time and
soap are saved and the clothes will be
brilliantly white and soft. When ben
zine is used the breaking of tie skin on
the hands is absolutely avoided. The
smell of the benzine disappears alto
gether in the wash boiler. Care should
be taken not TO bring the pure benzine
near the fire. as it is very infiammable.
