MIN. BY night an eye is on him.
Whenever he moves shadow clings
to his shadow, and that clinging
shadow is the shadow of death.
There are forms of disease which
seem to have proclaimed a vendetta,
or blood ieud, against the human
race 1t is peculiarly SO in the case
OF consumption, which, often, as i'll
the vendetta, follows out the blood
feud with an entire family, striking
them one by one, until all are ex-
terminated.
One-sixth of all deaths are due to
consumption, and the saddest thing
about this disease is that its victims
by choice are the budding woman,
the. young man just girding himself
for the race of life, the society bud
and the college graduate.
The law of our land forbids and
prevents the barbarism of the ven
delta. Why should not law step in
between the victims of this other
blood feud and the fatal stab at the
lungs? The law does step in: the
law of nature, the highest of all law.
BY every canon OF that law, by
every responsive human instinct, it is
repugnant to reason that this blood
feud should be carried to its extreme
result without hope and without
help The best and wisest of stu
dents have felt this and have given
time and study in the effort to dis
cover something which might arrest
the steps of the destroyer. 1t has
been left for DR.. R. V. Pierce, for
more than thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, n.
Y, to offer to humanity in his famed
Golden Medical Discovery the
remedy so many have sought in vain.
The remarkable cures wrought by
this remedy are matters of record
and OF reference. These things were
not done in a corner" Take the fol-
lowing case as an example:

though he was not acquainted with
our family, he called, and during the
call he asked my mother if she would
allow me to take a medicine if he
would send it to me- She thought
that it could do no harm if it did no
good, so he sent a bottle of DR.

VeldGtta'S Victims.
HOW FAMILIES ARE E-
TERMINATED.

The vendetta or blood feud is one
of the crueiest of barbarous practices,
because it takes no account of age
or sex. but ruthiessly dogs the steps
of the victim to the death. There is
no appeal against the doom. The
beautiful maiden, the aged sire. the
innocent child have no plea to turn
aside that bloodthirsty dagger.

this fate. By day a footstep dogs

Interesting Exhibit.
An interesting exhibit has been placed IN
the house by Miss Frances B. Johnston OF
this city. In the south room on the first
floor Miss Johnston has placed her photo
graphs of Dr. VIM b. Thornton's competi-
tive plans for the Presidents house, under
date of 1888 Her work has been very clev-
erly done, and the elaborate plan for
structure much larger and more magnif-
cent exteriorly than the present edifice is
clearly before the eye. There are three in
all, showing modified forms.
In the room above Miss Johnston has
tackled on the walls about $50 cards bear
ing photographs of all the plans for the
Capitol building submitted by the archi-
tecta in competition.
These include DIR. Thornton's prize de-
signs for the same building. and the origi-
nails were found by Mr.. Spofford in the
Congressional Library. The other originals
are the property of the Maryland Histori-
cal Society. Miss Johnston also shows re-
productions Of hkenesses of Architects
Blagdon. Bullfinch, Latrobe, Walker, Meig
and Franklin, and a very clear photo

There is quite confusion in town
over the corporation question. The
survey was made Friday by W. H. H.

town will be incorporated in the near
future. 1t looks as though it needs
something done in the way of reform

few more energetic people like Man

BY MEMO


STRENGTH THROUGH CONFLICT.
Out in the sunny valley a leafy elm-tre grew.
Its branches spreading gaily to every breeze
that blew.
The mountains high
y shield supply,
And it laughed when the sounding storm
swept by.
Staunch and stiff.
On rugged cliff,
y pine-tree bold faced the bitter cold
Holding its post on the shelving crust
'Gainst the wanton Winds in their cruel lust
And when the blast
Was over passed
Deeper and deeper its roots were thrust.
There came a day when the earthquak shocks
Tortured the valley and rent the rocks,
And the elm-tree ELL at fortunes frown,
With its tender twigs and its sunny crown
But the pine-tree, safe in its deep-set bed
still reared high its oft-scarred head.

Look to the bicycle and learn, thou

The rider makes his own breeze, hold

the pressure ahead, you who exert
yourselves; it means that you are
moving, progressing, forcing some
real resistance to one side. Lie down
and rest in your track supinely, and
all resistance will vanish; no one will
find in you then cause for fear, and
therefore none will oppose you. Look

,ditor Of The Rennbliean.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Inmy last communication | referred
to some things that was said by the
lecturers during the Farmers Insti-
tute in Oakland last month. ! did
not expect to write so soon again on
the subject of farming, but on account
of the silence of the other farmers of
the county | thought best to give the
editors more work to do. l will say
in the first place that our land of Gar
rett county is well adapted to grow
some of the things that our nearby
market needs; such as corn, oats,
wheat, rye, buckwheat, potatoes, and
all kinds of grasses that can be grown
anywhere. After it is produced it is
for each individual farmer to deter
mine how to market his products.
This is fully as important to know as
to know how to produce them. If we
LET our land lie Idle until we are sure
we can have large profits from our
productions the interest and taxes
will soonsconsume our land, but have
found it best to produce all we can
and at as little cost as possible, there
by we are able to get some profit from
the different productions. The lead
ing thought should be to feed the
land. We are all too poor to farm
+1,. ic l,n
time to prepare food for the land. Get
a good supply of lime for all the crops
and the manure heap can be enlarg-
ed each year as the farm becomes
more productive. | know of some
farms twenty years ago that did not
produce enough hay and corn fodder
to winter dozen head of cattle, but
now at least four times as many are
wintered and instead of feeding straw,
it is used mostly for bedding. Our
land is our bank: if we put plenty in
we can draw plenty out.
There is not as much danger of over
production for the markets as great
many will carelessly suppose. Good
cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, butter,
ETC., mostly find a market. 1t is only
the inferior that is so little sought af-
ter. Grow something that will bring
handsome sum of money.
Any of us can readily see that if we
just simply produce enough to buy
our store goods and even pay our
taxes, where is the purchase money
to come from. Some of our farmers
have bought land and paid part on
it, the balance drawing interest. This
needs to be kept constantly before us,
for either the deferred payments or
the purchaser will come out ahead
and it is said when the deferred pay
ments get control the purchaser
is compelled to become a renter. In
most instances the latter can be
avoided if good deep plans are laid
right in the start and work up to
our plans and remodel them when
ever found necessary. 1t requires
economy and some sacrifice to build
up a home but after it is done there
is this satisfaction that when afflic-
tion and old age comes such a one
need not work for the necessaries of
life when no longer able to do so.
Summary: Produce what your land
is best adapted to. Feed your land
bountifully and it will feed you.
Have system in our business as
well defined as the best bankers.
Try to have something left at the
end ofthe year after all obligations are
met.
