The Baltimore County Union of Satur-
day last says:-Both the wheat and potato
crops in this county are failures on account
of the unfavorable season and it looks like
it would be the same with corn and toma-
toes. A good many farmers planted largely
tomatoes, excepting the prices would be good
because of the advance in canned goods.
1t now looks like they are doomed to dis
appointment. An early summer drought,
such as we are now experiencing, is some
thing very unusual in this latitude and it
is also something serious to farmers. Early
in the spring the crop prospects in this
county could not have been more favorable,
but what followed spoiled all the calcula-
lions of the farmers and many of them are
a good deal depressed at the outlook.
A disastrous drought prevails throughout
Kent county. Pastures are brown and
bare and in many cases farmers have al
ready commenced to feed their stock.
Small fruits and vegetables are drying up
and the very large acreage in tomatoes is
threatened with destruction. In spite of
the fact that Kent's wheat yield will
scarcely average half crop some fine
yields are reported. Eugene Bonwill made
an average of SO bushels per acre on three
farms, and on one field averaged 40 bush
els; Dennis j. Rowland averaged 80 bush
els; Samuel Mann %. On the other hand,
many extremely low averages were made.
In the hail swept sections of Kent, as well
as in Queen Anne's, the crops were almost
total failures. Charles McCallister thresh-
ed 169 bushels from over 100 bushels
seeded.

Sleep of British Premiers.

Many prominent men are either re.
markable for their ability to sleep at {
moments notice, or else resort to somt
special method for inducing the same
OF prime ministers, Lord Derby or
one occasion advised an Irish member
to "banish business matters from youl
mind by reading before going to bee
any trash calculated to bore or stupe-
fy you,' and Lord Rosebery found the
hot-water cure effective; but most of
the English prenliers have been able
to do without any aids to slumber. Mr..
Gladstone, as is well known, would in
times of great anxiety lie down on a
sofa, and in a few minutes be fast
asleep, while Pitt was able to sleep at
any time, attributing to this habit the
fact that at the most anxious periods
Of his life he was able to cast aside all
care and worry. and enter into the
frivoiities of social life as if his mind
were free. Once Pitt slept after an un-
usual strain for 16 consecutive hours.
Lord I'almerston was another prime
minister who could WOO sleep when
ever he pleased. and was often seen
in the intervals of hot debate fast asleep
in his seat with his hat drawn well
over his yes.-Westminster Gazette.

A microscopic examination of

inches in second. Multiply the de-
nominators of the fractions here gwen
by 12,ooo,Ooo,ooo and you will get the

There are 1lO mountains in Colora-

are higher than $4,000 feet, and more

to attempt to climb them. Some OF
them are massed with snow, others
have glaciers over their approaches and
others arc srse-cll-- masses of jagged

-L'Electricien, Paris, quotes from
the Optician, London, an account of an
invention by a man named Wilcox, in
which a minute incandescent electric
lamp is fastened to a pen near its point

it prevents the light from dazzling the

Many trees that formerly fourished
in the north Of France are no longer
found except in the extreme south, and
large number of species have entire

grows in Languedoc, and an orange tree
cannot be found in Roussillon. The
Italian poplar, so common and pictur
esque in ancient French etchings, is to-
day rarely found on French soil. These
facts of nature go to prove the changes

EARLY ENGLISH MATCHMAKING
1t Was Begun at the End of the Six
teenth Century.


I am unable to trace any reliable
evidence of English watches having been
made until quite the end of the six
teenth century, although German and
French productions were imported
earlier. Derham, in the second edition
of his Artificial Clockmaker," pub
lished in, 1900, mentions an eight-day
watch which he was told belonged to
Henry VIII, but the context clearly
shows a weighty timepiece is referred
to. Among the possessions Of Edward
VI, as quoted by Wood from a royal
household book is ''oone larum or
watch Of iron, the case being likewise
of iron gilt with two plummettes of
led" The first words Of this desert ption
may seem to indicate a watch with a
handspring, but such an assumption is
at once dispelled by the "plummettes of
led." That Elizabeth owned large
number of watches is certain.
In 1871 the earl of Leicester gave to
his royal mistress zone armlet of
shakell of golde, all over failely gar
nished with rubys and diamonds, having
in the closing thereof a clocke."
From this it will be seen that the mod
ern custom of wearing the watch in a
wristlet is but a revival of sixteenth
century fashion. It is said that Mary
Queen of Scots had two deaths heads"
or skull watches, which she presented,
one to each of two favorite maids of
honor.
Among others which tradition has as
signed to the Scottish queen. Octavius
Morgan mentioned two which he con-
sidered to be of the period claimed for
them. One was a ghastly memento
Mori watch in a case of crystal formed
like a coffin and the other an octagonal
watch. The latter, it is asserted. was
'-iven by Mary to John Knox the re-
former. The possession of many
watchesis ascribed to James L., but such
rs he did possess do not appear to have
been utilized as timellepeers on every
occasion, for in Sayile's record of a state
journey to Theobald's in 1903. it is
stated that the king stopped at the bell
at Edmonton, and, wishing to count
the number of vehicles passing in
certain time, he "called for an hour
glass. Good Words.
