Western Maryland Statement.

President Hood submitted his annual
report to the Directors of the Western
Maryland Raidroad last week, disclosing
very successful year from a financial stand
point. The report shows an increase of
S216, 9l6.37 in gross earnings; the in-
crease in net earnings was 500 $50. so
The gross earnings for the year amounted
to 81, 469, 154 90 Those of last year
81, 251, 23S. So. The ratio of expenses
to earnings was &C. 3 per cent, an increase
of l. l per cent.
\ detailed description of the improve
ments of the road, especially its cutoff,
was given, with an outline of the benefits
to be derived therefrom.
The question of rates in the matter of
charges for freight and other traffic was
discussed, in which table was given
showing what would have been the result
had the rates been the same as some other
leading roads in the state
President Hood, in his report, said
''While the increase of nearly $50, 900
in net earnings for the twelve months viii
doubtless prove satisfactory to you, it is
not entirely so to the management, for the
following reasons First, for the nine
months ended June 80 there was net in
crease of So, ,574 81; second, had the
fiscal year ended June 80, as with most
roads, there would have been a net increase
of $40, 5S3. 40. Had the 1897 rates
prevailed it would have made difference
of S30S, 1902 in net earnings for 1898,
so that they would have been sS02, 643.-
II instead of S494, 467 10, or an increase
of 1867, 735. 50 over 1897 Of course,
the expenses would have remained the
same.
Among the additions and improve
ments made during the year, the following
may be mentioned The purchase of ten
consolidated freight locomotives; the con-
structiou of 3.68 miles of sidings; the ex-
tension of the Baltimore and Harrisburg
Railway Eastern Extension) to the York
Rolling Mill property; the erection of
transfer facilities at the \. 4 w. junction
Hagerstown; the construction of branch
to the Bittinger lime quarries near Han
over, Pa, and the erection Of coal chutes
aud division roundhouse and shops at
Hagerstown, the latter equipped with up
to-date machinery.
''During the year S4, $50 81 was ex-
pended in complying with the act of Con-
sress of March >, 1898, requiring all
rolling stock used in freight traffic to be
equipped with automatic brakes and coup
lers by January l, 1S9S-subsequently
extended to 1906 The company still has
445 cars to equip with air brakes and 75
with automatic couplers, which will re-
quire the expenditure of about s27, 800.

Why it Was Named Rubber.

4 recent report from British Consul
in one of the Central American States
gives the following as the origin of the
name rubber, as applied to caoutehoue :
An English artist discovered in l770 that
the new gum was admirably adapted for
rubbing ont pencil marks. He wrote a
paper ON the subject, and informed his con-
tsmporaries that a cubic inch Of this sub
stance, costing only three shillings, would
last for years. 1t was used for no other
purpose in England than effacing lead pen
Gil marks for about half century after this
discovery, hence the name rubber. After
the introduction of the raw material and
the scientific description of the plant by
Frenchmen, it was first manufactured into
waterproof clothing in France toward the
end of the eighteenth century. Later on
the firm of Mcintosh, of Manchester,
greatly improved on the French idea, and
manufactured waterproofs on large scale,
and ''mackintosh" is the name by which
waterproofs have been known since that
time

How to Treat a Man.

BY A HORSE.
Under this title the HHmdae Journal
prints the following advice:
When a man drops from sheer exhaus-
ton or illness, promptly seize an end
board of cart stake and pound him on
the head and on the ribs. Ii this does
not recupsrate him, kick him violently in
the belly This treatment will restore
him if persistently administered.
IF a man finds his load too heavy and
feels that it viii seriously strain him to
proceed, kick off fence board and knock
him down, and hammer him thoroughly
with the board This will give him re-
newed energy, and he will make no more
fuss. But do not on any account reduce
the load
fla man refuses to drink when you offer
him water, don't give him any water for
two DAYS. That will teach him to be
thirsty at any time you find it convenient
to attend to him. 1t is a good plan to
ply the whip frequently on man who is
at work. No matter if he is doing his
best, hit him now and then on general
principles, and to prevent him taking
any comfort If his load is not heavy,
oblige him to go enough faster to make
up for it.
Tie your man head back in an unnat
ural position, with his eyes toward the
sun. This will give him fine appear
anee, and prevent stumbling.
In winter remove his clothing ''to pre-
vent his taking cold He will also dry
quicker when you oyerwork him. You
must hang blanket on his back but
leave his neck and limbs exposed) when
he is not at work. Men thus treated are
much healthier than when allowed
winter clothing.

Hot Sand storms.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec 30.-New
South Wales is sweating under success
sion of violently hot sand storms. The
temperature runs from los to 125 in the
shade At Sydney hot sand gale swept
over the city at 30 miles per hour. The
entire population shut themselves in the
houses. Breathing was almost impossible.
If the storm had lasted another hour an
appalling mortality would have followed.
Hot blasts of air wither up pastures.
Sheep are turned loose to seek rivers,
which in many instances are almost dry.
Around these rivers carcasses of sheep are
lying by the thousands. Bush fires are
very prevalent If the weather does not
moderate widespread disaster will follow.

Comparisons Were Odious.

Recorder (te prisoner)-How do you

Prisoner-I amt particular, as the
oyster said when they asked whether he d

Recorder-We don want to hear what

Prisoner-Anything that comes in my
way, as the locomotive said when it ran
over a man.
Recorder-We care nothing about the
locomotive What is your business?
Prisoner-Thats various, as the cat
said when she stole the chicken.
Recorder-That comes nearer TO the

The Teacher Was Taught.

In certain part of West Virginia some
wears ago there was local court, presided
ever bv an honest old farmer, who in his
earlier years had heen an attorney at law
Tho Judge was quick tempered, impa-
tient man, bat by no means ungenerous,
and possessed keen sense Of humor, SAYS
the Youth Companion.
One day while on the bench he saw in
the audience an old negro whom he had
engaged TO haul some timber from his
saw mill near By, bat who had been after
wards persuaded to do the same kind of
labor for another person, to the neglect of
the Judiciary. As soon as he caught sight
Of his recreant toiler the Judge suspended
the trial, quilted the woolsack and ap-
preaching the old African, said, with great
indignation and very read face
You old rascal Why didn't you
haul timber for me as you promised to do?
You il have to be taught a lesson !!
The old negro gave one look at the in-
dignant Judge, then he squared off and,
throwing nis eea: to a bystander, said
cheerfully
Come on, massa Dis ole chile use

IN PEACE.
By.L. g. Whittier.

A track Of moonlight on quiet lake
Whose small waves on a silver sanded shore
Whisper of peace and with the low winds make
Such harmonies as keep the woods awake
And listening all night long for their sweet sake
A green laved slope of meadow, hovered DER
By angel troops oflilies, swaying light
On viewless stems, with folded wings of white,
A slumberous stretch of mountain land, far seen
Where the low westering day, with gold and green
Purple and amber, softly blended, fills
The wooded wales and melts among the hills;
A vine fringed river. winding to its rest
on the calm bosom of stormless sea.
Bearing alive upon its placid breast
With earthly flowers and heavenly stars Impressed
The hues Of time and Of eternity.
