THE sNEEzlNe SEASON.
Some Valuable Hints For wardiax on
n Cold.


A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows, is the result OF a stop
page somewhere OF free circulation Of
blood. to which one is first sensitive
through a feeling Of chill.
So slight is the chill oftentimes that
not until the preliminary sneeze comes
is the victim aware he or she has been
in the track OF draught. or that the
temperature has changed.
The usual notion is that by going in
doors, changing to heavier clothing or
retreating from the moist atmosphere
the danger is averted. These precau-
tons are all well enough, but the first
and most efiicacious measure should be
TO restore the quick flow or warm blood
through every vein. and so by heat in
stantly counterfeit the little chill.
One, perhaps the simplest method of
doing this. has been learned by men
who stand on sentinel duty. who are
obliged to suffer more or less exposure
IA winter, or who scorn the comforts
Of cold weather, of overcoat and UNI
brella-
Their method when the temperature
or the body or extremities is lowered,
or sudden chill or quick change from
warm to cold atmosphere is endured,
is to inhale three or four deep breaths,
expand the lungs to their fullest extent.
holding every time the inhaled air as
long as possible and then slowly letting
1t forth through the nostrils
In doing this the imitation of the
lungs sets the heart into such quick
motion that the blood is driven with
unusual force along it's channels and
so runs out into the tiniest veins.
This radiates n glow down to the
toes and finger tips and sets up a quick
reaction against the chill The whole
effect is to stir the blood and set it in
motion as from rapid exercise.

There are several authentic cases OF

DUTY have been known to fall asleep
while standing on the pavement With
out support OF any kind. Recently a
man engaged TO pick apples was caught
indulging in surreptitious nap astride

The democratic committee of seven has
decided that the democratic primaries
in Baltimore shall be held on March 2S,h,
between - o'clock noon and p. m.
Some members of the committee favor
ored the holding of the primaries the week
following the republican primaries on
March 81, but it was decided to put them
off for another week so as to make the
campaign short and sharp. The COM
mittee met Monday afternoon to take up
the consideration and reach a conclusion
on the plan to be pursued in selecting
judges and clerks for the primaries.
The committee will probably invite the
recommendation of such officials by the
ward executives and the candidates, the
committee to pass finally upon the fitness
of those recommended.
The Democratic Association, which eN-
Governor Brown has worked hard to
have organized, met Monday night at Its
headquarters, 21S North Charles street,
to effect an organization, either temporary
or permanent, and to get i'll working
order. The association will be organized
to assist the party in getting good candl-
dates to 60 on the municipal ticket.
Ex-Governor Brown, who suggested
the organization, has stated upon more
than one occasion that he has no candi-
date for any Office. 1t Is possible that the
association may indorse two or more
candidates for some one office, the candl-
dates being each equally desirable.

FARM LANDS IN SOUTHERN
MARYLAND.

In its issue of the 23rd inst. the Bal
timore Sun published an interesting
letter from Mr.. William l.. Nesbit. of
Lewisburg, Pa, in regard to the OPP
portunities for the profitable invest
ment of capital in practical agriculture
il certain sections of this State In
an editorial the Sun says:
'Mr. Nesbit, who is farmer of cX-
perience and member of the Pennsyl-
vania board Of agriculture, is familiar
with the region drained by the Patux-
ent river, especially the marl-belt sec
ton, and expresses the opinion that it
offers rich field for the judicious CO.
operation of capital and skillful man
agement. He thinks it would he a
great advantage to the State if Penn
sylvania tenant farmers could be Sc
cured to aid in the development of these
sections on the basis which he suG-
gests. Several projects cf this char
acter are already under way, and a
company has been formed for the pro-
motion of this general purpose There
is room, however, for the profitable en-
ployment of large additional capital,
and there are indications that interest
has been aroused in tue subject in finan-
cial quarters, as well as among agri-
cultural classes in this and other coun-
tries. Dr. \. kuiper, the Dutch econ
omist who visited Baltimore in Novem-
Der OF last year, writes to De Grond-
wet, Dutch paper published in Hol-
land, Mich, from Amsterdam, under
date of January lG, 1899, that he has
received numerous inquiries with re-
gard to Dutch colonization in Mary
land. He speaks fayorably of the adj
yantages of situation and the prospects
of success for Dutch farmers on the
Eastern Shore and III the southern
counties of Mary land, and his calm and
unparalleled statement can scarcely
fail to exercise great influence among
those Of his countlymen who ere look

SCHLEN'S REPLY.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Tm's says:
In the Senate particularly the reply OF
Schley was topic of discussion in cloak
rooms and committee rooms. Everybody
was disposed to concede that Admiral
Schlev has modestly but effectually dis
posed of the claims of the rretender Samp
son and his bureaucratic hackers More
over as Senator Pettigrew said:
"Admiral Schlev has convicted the
Secretary of the Navy of being a willing
accomplice of Sampson in the effort to
defame the real hero Of that entire naval
campaign; or else the Secretary of the
Navy has been himself misled by the up
start prctender. 1t Is stated that the files
of the Navy Department do not now con-
tain a copy of the letter of Sampson order
ing Schley to remain at Cicnfuegos. If
that letter cannot be fonnd on the files of
the Navy Department, then Captain Samp-
son should be made to feel that the
patience of the people has been exhaust
ed. The Secretary Of the Navy should
maintain his own self-respect by with
drawing from an indefensible.'
One of the titled naval officers who was
a hero in the civil war says: Secretary
Long evidently does not know what the
use of those words, 'reprehensible con-
duct, mean in the navy. If it is true that
Admiral Schley was guilty of 'reprehen-
sible conduct he should have been court
martialed Instead Of that, he received
the commentator of Sampson for every
thing that he did until he won the great
victory; after that, and since that time,
Captain Sampson has been cndeavoring
to bclittle the man who originally outrank-
ed him, and who subsequently outranked
him in matters of achievement and per-
formance'
At the Army and Navy Club, an old
officer, who has often given sage sugges-
tons, to- night said: ''Some rascal has led
Mckinley to believe that the Democrats in
tend to nominate Bryan and Schley Now
mark my words The entire power of the
administration will be used to smirch
Schlev inst as it has been and is being
| used to smirch General Miles. Sigsbee
Lee, Miles, Schley, Dewey and every
soldier and sailor who has achieved prom
inence has been sent into the background
| under executive orders. There is method
in it all Look out for squalls for Schley
Every mistake of his lifetime will be
paraded before the public.
Another old officer, who knows then
both, interjected the remark: II am ready
| to bet big odds that both Schley and Miles
| will stand any amount of scrutiny. Theil
| lives have been sublime, and in theil
| crucial days they can stand any tests"

PRODUCTS OF TIE SOUTH.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in dis
cussing the productive possibilities of the
South and the problem of negro labor
made the following observations:
THE pressing question is, what is the
laborer down South who has been grow
ing cotton and is not getting enough for
his product to do in the future to enable
him to live comfortably, not to speak of
improvements in his condition, education
and all that: The cotton crop leaves very
little that is valuable for domestic animals
after the picking is done, thus differing
from the corn crop of the Northwestern
States.
There is a byproduct, the cottonseed,
that is exceedingly valuable as nutrient,
and much good work is being done by
| scientists at experiment stations to show
| how valuable cottonsecd is for feeding
purposes. The great cotton growing in
dustry of the South is not up to date. The
! nitrogen content is greater than that of
| any of the grains, it is richer in nltrog-
enous matter than peas or beans, richer
than gluten, meal or oilcake.
The Northern feeder and the European
feeder have been using this by-product of
the cotton fields with great advantage to
them, while the loss of its fertilizing quail
tiles to the South has been very great.
From fifth to fourth of all the fat
of all the milk on the farms of the United
States is lost because people do not thor
oughly understand when to churn cream
The churning process is an art having
much science underlying it. But the cot
ton grower of the South only needs to
learn the way, while the man who teaches
him can understand the science.
The South can prepare the spring lamb
much earlier than the North can. The
| Southern landowner understands horse
raising There is always greater demand
for saddle horses than is supplied. The
world wants carriage and draft horses and
good roadsters Early spring chickens
the broilcrs-can be produced down there
because they have mildcr winters and
| milder springs than VIC have, and the
! Northern market can be supplied. Should
the market become over-supplicd we can
send this product abroad in the refrlSer-
ated compartments of our steamships
1t seems to me that the necessities OF
the occasion are up to theintclligent land
owner of the South. He should inform
himself on these lines. He should have
done it years ago The sciences which re-
| late to agriculture would stand him IN
good stead, while his diploma from lit
crarv institution is worth very little to
him. 1t is not too late Improvement
| along these lines cannot be expected to
| originate with the laborinG men OF the
South: it must begin with the men OF edu-
cation"

MOItI; MEN FOL, OTIS.

The United States army transport Sheri-
dan pulled out from her in Brooklyn last
Sunday ON her way to Manila, Ivy way of
the Suez canal, with 1888 enlisted men
and officers and their wives and families
to the number of ninety persons.
The Sheridan is considered the best ap-
pointed of the three army transports
which have sailed from Brooklyn. This
expedition is commanded by Lieut. Col.
Jacob H. Smith, of the Twelfth United
States Infantry, all of which regiment is
on board. Four companies for the Sew
cnteenth United States Infantry and about
twenty-five men left behind from the Sher-
man expedition complete the military
complement.
The vessel will be in charge of Quarter
master W. NJ Coulling, and Captain Hig-
gins is assigned as navigator. Without
accident the Sheridan is expected to reach
Manila in about fifty days.

GTBERNATORIAL TIMBER.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Belair 1Eyis, in its last issue contained
the following:
At banquet OF the st. John 5
alumni. held last Thursday evening at
the Country Club, Mr.. John p. Poe
made a happy speech, in which he said
he was glad the occasion of the alumni
dinner of Mr. John S. Wirt's alma
mater was so arranged as to allow that
gentleman S boom for Governor to be
started. Mr.. Poe then culogized Mr..
Writ in most tlattering terms, and an
nounced that NO man would be so ac-
ceptable to the people of Mary land. :"
Mr.. Writ has been asked to allow the
use of his name as a candidate for that
Office, but so far has not given his con-
sent. He was member of the State
Senate from Cecil county durinr the
session of 1890 and 1892, and dele
gate in the last House from the same
county. lie has always ranked as a
leader in his party. The -Eyis of une
Sd, 1898, had the following editorial,
which we reprint:
Although the election of Governor is a
good ways off, yet the Democrats, real
ling their excellent opportunity for re-
gaining control of the State government,
are commencing to cast their eyes about
for gubernatorial candidate. 1t seems to
be conceded that it must be a county man,
as Baltimore city has never been very sue
cessful in furnishing good material. 1t
has been strongly argued that as the East
ern Shore was robbed by the Republican
party of its birthright of a United States
Senator, that the nominee should come
from that section of the State.
Should this be conceded, we know of
no one who is more acceptable than Hon.
John S. Writ, of Cecil county. He is a
young man, brainy and eloquent, who has
already seen much public service, but like
few of our politicians came out no richer
than he went in, except what he gained in
the estimation of his fellow citizens fol-
his fearless, open, honest course.
I'VE do not know that Mr. Writ will be
a candidate, but we do know that if he is
nominated he will be elected by hand
some majority and Maryland will have il
the Executive Mansion one of the bes
Governors she has ever had"
