BURNE-J E-JONES.

ROsSetti's Influence In Causing the
Artist to HyphenGte His Name.
1t may Or may not be true that it was
Rossetti who urged Burne-Jones, when
at the outset Of his career, to connect
with hyphen "Burne' and "Jones, "
says William Sharp in The Atlantic
Jones' is nobody" Rossetti would
declare, "only particle of vast null
tiple! But rne-Jones-that is unmis-
takable!"
1t was an amusing trait in Rossetti
that he was won't to designate the good
work of this or that friend as the work
of-and he would mention the most
distinctive name or part name of the
person concerned. Thus he would say
"Yes that is Burne-Jones, but this,
this here, you know, is only JONES'" or
"That now is the real Holman Hunt,
but this here is only Hunt" or, "You
can hear Ionnyson in that, but Alfred
wrote the other lines. ?"
l recall two amusing instances where
Burne- Jones more or less uncOnsciously
adopted the same method He was asked
once if he thought William Bell Scott
more eminent as poet or as an artist.
81 never thought very highly of Bell, "
he replied. Then, seeing Il look of sur
prise, added with a humorous twinkle,
81 liked old Bell ScOtt-old Scotus, as
we always called him-immensely, and
think William Bell Scott wrote some
very fine verse, but | always thought it
was a pity that Bell took to paintingW
The other instance occurred when
some one remarked to him that "Par-
nell was only an agitator." "Charles
Stewart Parnell, . he replied with en-
phasis, "was one of the greatest public
men of our day and far and away the
ablest Irish leader" "But Parnell,
etc, resumed the objector, to be again
corrected by the other disputant,
"Charles Stewart Parnell, " etc.

At What Age Is Man Strongest

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages of
development and decline. Our physical
strength increases up to certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the strength
of several thousands of people have been
made by means of dynamOmeter
strength measurer) and the following
are given as the average figures for the
white race:
The "lifting power" of youth of II
years is $50 pounds. In his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty first years it
reaches its height, 356 pounds. At the
end of the thirty first year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
By the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at a slightly increasing rate until
the tittieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not pos
sitle to give statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year, as it
varies to large extent in different in
iduals.-.Strand Magazine.

FROSTBURG, Md, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER -, 1S9S
CONSOLATION.

Now sleeps the rose, the lily sleeps,
The dais3 sleeps; the sky in rain
Upon their graves, despairing, weeps,
Not dreaming they will rise again.
Poor weeping skies, be comforted!
Soon will return the daisy star;
The rose and lily are not dead,
But sleeping where our longings are.
'Tis but little weary while
OF sullcn cloud and toneless earth
Before the spring shall wake and smile
And bring her pretty babes to birth.
And thou, poor sky, with eye of blue,
Shalt see rerisen the new lowered year
And drop an April tear or two
For joy once more to find her here.
Thy happy tears shall gently fall
On all the buds that charm thee most;
Next spring brings all-or nearly all
Which with last spring was loved and lost

Some people have peculiar notions of
what is appropriate. Some time ago
a resident of a neighboring town was
preaching at the Gladstone Jail and
prefaced his remarks by regretting the
small attendance. At a race meeting
held at - a band was engaged to play
Inappropriate music" and it was found
that the numbers selected were from
Moody and Sankey. "Go Bury Thy Sor-
row. was one of them, and the others
were all equally "appropriate.
Christmas religious service was held
at the local Jail and hymns suitable to
the occasion were of course selected.
The first one was ''Free From the Law,
Oh, Happy Condition." and the last,
"We'll Never Leave This Safe Abode,

funny side of it all appealed to some of
the inmates, and the intended GOOD eff

IdiOSyncrasies.

There is something about the pro-
tective-revenue argument that attaches
to nothing else-eXcept free coinage.
1t is this:
No matter whether the protective
revenue be large Or small, it is an evil
dence of prosperity.
Just now the Dingley Act is run
ming IN revenue about q millions a
year behind the SugarG Trust
Act, which makes each man, woman
and child 40 cents richer in 1898 than
in 1897.
That is called prosperity"
But If it were running y millions
ahead, each man, woman and child pay
ing 10 cents more in 1898 than 1897.
the per capita would still be 40 cents
richer, because there it is-in the
treasury, and the treasury Is yours
Hence, 'prosperity."

ture drawn of the results Of change of

The Baltimore SIN this year seems to be
democratic on everything except money, and
the SIN has very little to say on that subject
these days.-Cumberland Independent.
There is no doubt of the Suns un
shakable stand for sound money.
Fact is, no democratic paper enjoy
ing independence of ''regularity'
when "regularity" is vicious can be
other than it has always been sound
money institution.
"Regularity" can be one thing in
May. the other in June, but whoever
bows not down to democratic "regu-
larity" when it steals silver-State
populism and makes Altgeld's sup
port of lawlessness its own, cannot
possibly follow where ''regularity"
leads.
1t is a good thing, therefore, that
Thomas jefferson cannot come back.
If he could, he wouldn't be able to
recognize his children in the Teller

They Should.
Mr.. Wellington told the people of
Crisfield from the platform several
things he would hardly tell them from
the floor of the United States Senate.
He spoke Of the treasury as "well-
nigh empty" when the Dingley Act
went into effect, although it contained
nearly 300 millions.
Hence, under the operation of that
law prosperity has returned to the
country"
But on Saturday last there were II
millions less in the treasury than on
June 30, 1897, the period when it was
''wellnigh empty
Now, where is "the condition of the
treasury" as an evidence of prosperity ?
But it is more to the point to ask
should not statesmen, speaking directly
to the people, tell them the untwisted
truth?

Mistake.

Speaking of ''the growth of the coal
trade in Maryland" the Baltimore
Neeos INDUCES in some glorlAcation
concluding with this little halleluia:
But Maryland can stand any number of
fiourishing industries.
The Neaos is mistaken.
That portion of the State which lies
within the corporate limits of Cum
berland, using county and State as
clubs, is engaged in the effort to drive
a "fourishing industry out of busi-
ness.
The relation of this fact doesn't
sound very we'll, especially to those
who would "enlarge our export trade''
by restricting it to the home market,
but it is journalistic duty to state it.

FREMONT CLUB MEETS,
Interesting Letter Read From
Member Now in Key West.

TIL meeting of the Fremont Club, at its
headquarters on Central avenue. was last
night ~enlivened with a letter from one
OF its members, Mr.. Hugh Logan, who is
now at Key West, as a cashier in the
employ of the Associated Press. The let
ter dealt principally with Mr.. Logan's
Impressions of the country through which
he passed on his way to Key West. Many
of the depots through the Southern States
he classed as barns, surrounded by po-
tato patches and razor-backed hogs. He
dwelt. however, upon the beauties of the
southern pines. palms n paimettoes,
and the Florida flowers, the orange
groves, etc. st. Augustine, he declared,
was a perfect bower of s~plendor." The
people of Key West, he added, were lazy.
Mr.. Logan also gave a description of the
welcome accorded the battleship Oregon
when she joined the Key West fleet. The
reading of the letter was greatly enjoyed
by the members present.
John A. Pforr was appointed on the
Amusement Committee to fill the place
caused by the departure of Mr.. Logan
for Key West. Samuel Monroe and An
drew Knox were appointed captains OF
the two teams selected to make a con-
test in bringing in new members. A prize
is to be given the winning team. The
contest will close on August !.
A social session followed the meeting.
Several members made patriotic adj
dresses and Samuel Monroe recited an
original patriotic poem on the Maine, a
parody of o the Banks of the Wabash.

AN ASSURED SUCCESS.
Throngs Crowd st. Patrick's
Garden Party and All
Enjoy Themselves.

From the present outlook, the garden
party, which is being held in Bramhan Park
ON Ocean and Bramhall avenues by st.
Of a success than the one OF last year. It's
evident the words of Mayor Hoos, when he
told the young people to help along the good
cause by making the party q success, had
some effect on them for the refreshment
booths and places Of amusement in the park
did a rushing business last evening.
The decorations IN the pretty pleasure
many have declared that such a beautiful
and bewildering display of American flags
and bunting and palms has never been seen
before at any garden party in this city. st.
Patrick's Church inaugurated this form of
entertainment in this city last year and
since then almost every other Catholic
church in has held a similar party. st.
Patrick's Church leads this year as usual
and the parish of st. Aloysius' will shortly
follow.
The receipts of St. Patrick's party will go
into the new school and parish hall building
fund. The building will be started shortly
after the return of Father Carroll, who is
now in Germany for his health. During his
absence Father Talon has been in charge,
and it was he who arranged for the garden
party now in progress. The receipts last
evening were entirely satisfactory. The
dancing platform is still the greatest attrac-
ton on the grounds, and at the first strains
of the orchestra the young people flock there.
At the shooting galleries the crack of the
rifles could be heard until a late hour and
some very good scores were made. The
ladies also took a hand in the sport, as the
one fortunate enough to make the highest
score will be presented with a beautiful silver
pickle dish. The members of the Catholic
Club were conspicuous It'll targets as some
of the young men have their eye on the
handsome silver cake dish which is to be
awarded to the winner, and it is a prize we'll
worth capturing.
One of the most amusing things to be seen
is the place where you hit the "nigger" in
the head. That woolly headed colored gem
tlemen was kept very busy last evening
lodging the balls that were thrown at him
with more or less accuracy. Those fortu-
nate enough to hit the gent were re-
warded with a good cigar much better than
those given at the summer resorts.
One of the prettiest tents on the grounds is
the one called "Rebscca at the Well" this
was made entirely of red. white and blue
bunting and a pretty girl served milk to the
thirsty. She was kept very busy as were
also the young ladies at the coffee tent where
large cups of that delicious beverage were
served. The fortune telling tents We're well
patronized and those who had their fortunes
told to them appeared satisfied for all wore
a broad smile on their countenances when
they emerged from the tent. The will party
remain open this evening and tomorrow
evening.
