While the state did not act very
nice toward the geological survey
those at the head Of it did not slight
the work they had in hand. They
have given US very valuable produce
ton as the first report 4 synopsis
of the work done and contained in
this report will he found in another
column. The MorgantoWn people
who were interested in this have great
cause to be congratulated for the ex-
cellenJ showing that they have made
in the face of all the difficulties under
which they have had to work The
report alone is worth more to the
state than the whole amount which
would have been expended by the
state on the survey A feeling OF
enmity to the survey because the
main offices were located in Morgan
towr cut off the appropriations asked
for and badly crippled the under TAX
ing. However future legislatures Will
see the thing in a different light and
will do the proper thing by the survey.

SKILL IN EMBROIDERY

Was an Accomplishment and Pastime of
 Early English Queens.
 New York Tribune: AS far back as the time of King Athelstan's reign in England the art of embroidery had reached a high standard throughout continental Europe The four sisters of the Briton ruler were famous for their needlework. and for another quality they essed-namely. that of attracting a remarkable number Of suitors, who were drawn, it is assert ed, by the charms that this feminine accomplishment gave to the fair work CTS. The wife of Edward the Confes- sor had an absorbing love for the art, in which she exeelled many noted women of her time In those days the Anglo-Saxon nobles were known abroad by their gorgeous costumes, woven of silks and wools and embroid- cred heavily, and this work took the place In continental esteem that is to- day occupied by the Eastern embroid- cries brought into England. The Eng fish embroideries were so much prized that the popes and other potentates were proud to accept gifts of garments made by the needlewomen of England. Throughout Europe the finest speci- mems were done in the epoch bound ed by the eleventh and fourteenth cen- turies. At the South Kensington Mu- eeum, in London, a specimen of the finest work of that time Is exhibited. It was done by Englishwomen some time about the year of 1250. The sub ject is Seriptural, as were many of the most noted pieces of the age.

Society of Game @Th1sves.

Friedland boasts the most singular mutual protective society in the civil ized world In Assen recently a union was organized by seventeen game poachers, a comprehensive set of rules being adopted. None but a recognized game thief is eligible to membership. The convention decided that in the fu- ture the members of the union shall sell only 10 regular game dealers, and then only at current market prices. The dealers will be required to con- tribute a certain amount of money each year to the unions treasury. The principal object of the union is to sup- port the families of such poachers as may be arrested and sent to prison. A cast-iron resolution forbids all mem bers from killing game in the closed seasons. the argument being that the game laws must be enforced. The Netherlands code provides a fine of 100 forins and term of imprisonment for killing game out of season.

REGULAR EXODUS.
Of Mohammedans Has Set In from the
 Island of Crete.

Island of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it, it is believed that the Porte will soon make a virtue of necessity and pass the word fer all true Mussulmans to quit tbe island. Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants- The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus. and at latest accounts, the nrospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs. and accuse England Of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It IS not denied that England has endeav- ored. in a certain measure, 10 fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin= babitable for Moslems, it is practical lv impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen. erally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry. but the Christians, having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try. so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is. at all events, an ef- feetive way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.

 How the coolness of one man some times acts on his companions. see1a- ingly depriving them of fear, is shown in story that belongs to the war n Syria, and the British attack on Sidon During that attack, says the Argonau5, the British troops had to advance across a long, unprotected bridge, in the face of battery of six guns, which completely commanded the approach The men were unwilling to expose themselves to certain death, till one soldier. Cummings by name, man in faultless uniform, stepped forward 10 the very middle of the bridge. The bridge was immediately swept by the fire of the battery. When the smoke cleared away Cummings was seen standing uninjured, carefully brush. ing the dust from his boots, after which he adjusted a single glass in his eye and looked back at the men. This was too much. They took the bridge and the battery with 8 whoop.
