Its Awful Use Fairly Took the Good Mans
Breath Away.
A high dignitary of the English church
connected with st. Paul's cathedral went
with his family to Egypt for holiday
journey. He planned q boating trip up the
Nile and hired IA dragoman to conduct the
party. After their return to Cairo he set
tied the bill of expenses for the outing, and
when everything had been arranged gave
the dragoman an unusually largo present
In money in recognition of his services and
good conduct. The Egyptian received the
gift with eastern urbanity and with many
expressions of gratitude.
Not many hours afterward the good man
related his experiences In his boating jour-
ney to an English acquaintance. and In re-
sponse TO direct questions explained how
much the water trip had cost, the tip to
the dragOman being included In the esti-
mate The English friend was surprised by
the generosity OF the final gift.
''lt was small fortune" he said, "to
bestow upon u poor Egyptian. You may
depend upon 1t that the dragoman had
never received so large u tip before. He
must have thought that you were an
American millionaire instead Of q working
English Clergyman.
The canon was somewhat disturbed by
this revelation Of his ignorance Of Nile
customs and his apparent recklessness In
the use Of money. Meeting the dragoman
on the following day, he artfully contrived
to intimate that In settling the account he
had been guilty of the indiscretion of over
payment for services rendered. The drago-
man was polite In his replies and profuse
In his expressions of gratitude, but gave
no indication that he took the view of the
transaction that was taken by the canon.
Finally, with gracious smile, the good
man said: II oyerpaid you grossly, but
you gave me faithful service, and 1 do not
regret 1t. 1 only hope that you have de-
cided to make good use Of the small for
tune which you have received"
"You may be sure that have done so
already" returned the Egyptian. II have
bought another slave wife,
This was said with an air of self salts
fed virtue which fairly took away the good
canon's breath and left him speechless.
He had been unconsciously encouraging
polygamy--and now does not relish any al
lusion to this experience in his holiday
journey. Youth Companion.

Interesting results Of an investigation oi
the eject produced by railroad train on
the air through which IL moves were pre-.
sented at recent merting Of the ~. Louis
Academy Of Science by Professor r. r.
Nipher. It appears that motion is com
municated to the atmosphere many feet
away. 20 that large amount Of air Is
draggci along with the train. A peculiar
danger arises near a swift running train
from the tendency of the moving air to
toppic perron over and NJ the same time
to communicate motion Of rotation 70 the
body which may cause u TO roll under tho

Speak About.
i Governor Lowndes arrived at Cum
berland Monday night, where he vii
remain a few days, when he will re
/ turn to Annapolis. He expects tC
have his message to the General AS
/ sembly completed some time before
the session begins, on January 5th
Speaking of the message among other
things the Governor says:
Il believe, it will show a satisfac-
tory situation of affairs, so for as the
State government is concerned, and
will be gratifying to the people gen
orally especially to the taxpayers.
There is no doubt but the finances of
the State are in an excellent condition
and the condition of the treasury is
all that can be desired.
SsThe message will also show that
the public institutions of the State,
and those which are supported by
State aid, in part, are also well mana
ged and are Of good condition.
81 can hardly recall now all the
recommendation that the message
will make to the law-making depart
ment. | shall suggest certain amend
ments to the election law in order to
render it more effective, and which
the experience OF the past two cleo
tions has demonstrated are necessary.
The law, as it stands, is one of the
best in force in the country, and with
the few amendments which experience
has shown are advisable, it will be as
near perfect as an election law can be.
There should be more safeguards to
prevent bribery of voters especially.
and | shall suggest that changes be
made in that regard
Il shall also recommend the passage
of new charter for Baltimore city,
and shall give at length my reasons
for advising such action. As the cen
Ter OF half the population of the State
and more than half the wealth. Bal
timore is entitled to great considera-
ton at the hands of the General As
sembly, and, as far as my influence
extends, that consideration shall be
granted.
There are many other recommen-
dations to be made in the message,
such as the enlargement of the House
of Correction, the completion of the
new State penitentiary and other
matters of minor Importance. One
matter. of Importance will be the
amendment Of the assessment law, in
certain particulars, where that act
has been found detective"

Maryland'S Share.

Prof f. b. Prettyman, principal of
the Maryland State Normal School,
and Secretary of the State Board of
Education, is preparing a memorial
which will be presented at the next
session of Congress, asking that the
State of Maryland be given a share in
the distribution of public lands. In
conformity to the laws of other states,
the money derived from the sale of
the lands, should Congress grant the
claims which will be presented in the
memorial, will be used for the ad-
vancement of public education. At
the recent meeting of the Association
of School Commissioners and Exami-
ners of the State of Maryland, which
was held at the Normal School. Gov
ernOr LOwndes, Rev. j. f. Nicholson
and Prof, E. B. Prettyman, were APP
pointed a committee to take charge
of and push the matter before Con-
gress.
Prof. Prettyman is very much inter
ested in the work, and saws that Mary
land claim is a Just and equitable one.
He will complete the memorial and
frame a bill on the subject as soon as
possible, when it will be presented to
Governor LOwndes for his approval.
The Maryland representatives in Con-
gress will be requested to use every
effort to secure favorable legislation
on the bill. Prof. Prettyman said re-
Gently that should the bill be passed,
a large sum of money will be received
by the State of Maryland for the pur-
pose of education.
Il have been interested in this i'm
portant question for some time" he
said, land after Il long and careful
search can see no plausible reason
why we Marylanders should not share
in the distribution of public lands

lie lands of the United States should
be sacredly devoted to the advance
ment of public education.
For Il long time the Maryland
statesman in the COntinentalCOngre
were the only representatives to ad-
vocate national jurisdiction over the
Western lands. Their efforts were
finally successful, and the ational gov
ernment was placed in control of the
public lands.

myself against naTowness of view,

it here also.
And these poor people will serve to
point another moral, to the effect
that abuse is not argument, for they
were driven from their homes with
shot-guns and still cling desperately
to their beliefs down in the swamps
Of the Carolinas Abuse by tongue
may not break bones, but it does not
heal rescntments; ranking sores bleed

Finally, know what you do know,

and furthermore choose silence rather
than speech, the living of truth rather
than the proclaiming of it, the atti-
