from the hands of God il needs moth

peals to me-tbe great sweeps OF IN
turned sod, the silent hills and all the
fair beauty Of valley and plain The
alluremepts OF the old world. with its
historic places where men have wrought
out the ideas of God, are strong l
know. Yet the new places have their
history, OF different sort but no less
sacred, aud they yield an emotion as
profound as any that might come to the
traveller who stand in the Acropolis or
views the field of Waterloo.
So the rather disheartening state OF
newness of our city. or its altogether
squalid and unpicturesque middle age
has reason in it. Still, town is built
to stay, or it should be, and there is just
now beginning an idea OF permanency,
durability and style in architecture that
will last. The new library is to be built.
Many will say, Let it be simply ele-
CANT, substantial and durable My
plan is-in the interest OF the professor
and others like him-that the architects
make US some edifice that shall be Of
good stock that it may attain to a ripe
Mathusaleh age, and fashion it with
such innate gentility that it may
grow old gracefully. Those who come
after us are likely to be more given to
ancestor-worship and tradition preserv.
ing than We are luckily for us-so, after
all, we may be building for the future
as much as for ourselves.

Not long since asked class OF young
students of United States history two
questions bearing on the colonial period.
The first was: If you had been liviGg in
those days, in which of the thirteen col
onies would you have preferred to live?
The majority Of the class favored Penn
sylvania, because it was the most peace
full one-their outline work had not told
them what poor old Penn thought of
that peacefulness, himself. Then l
inquired. an which Of the colonies
would you rather say now that your az

tween New York and Pennsylvania

CHUNKS OF BoY1sH WISDOM.
Gems in the Way of Recent Answer,
mt the English Schools.

There are some curious answers by boys
in English public schools. On one occa-
sion the English Constitution was describ-
ed thus: THE English Constitution is a
very comprehensive style of governing,
founded on the innumerable laws OF Eng
land. In early Briton times there were
no laws. but people walked about naked,
and painted blew (sic) all over with wode
(sic) In Saxon times there were not above
from six to dozen laws altogether.
wherefore there were not any lawyers
needed. But now there are SO many laws
that men have TO learn them for bust
ness. The main body of people could new
er find time to learn all the laws OF Eng
land
The execution of Charles Is dealt With
In the following manner: Charles ! had
his own notions of how to be King. He
did not think common Englishmen's idea
was much of a King at all. He said they
wanted TO tell him what a King is. But
he said they must leave IL TO him to show
the rather. This angered people. So
Cardinal Wolseley, Sir Isaac Newton, Sir
George Wombwell. and General Lesley had
him tried by the Inns Of Court for exceeding
himself, and put to death in the presence
OF the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Lon
doa. where the Aquarium now stands"
Another boy thus tackles the theory of
the tides: The tides are a fight between
the earth and the moon. All water tends
towards the moon. because there is no
water in the moon, and nature abhors a
vacuum. Gravitation at the earth keeps
the water from rising all the way to the
moon. ] forget whether the sun joins in
this fight"
But the next hoy IS a real wit: "a
vacuum is nothing shut up in box They
have way of pumping out the air When
all the air and everything else is shut out,
naturally they are able to shut in nothing,
where the air was before"

the narrow escape from terrible death OF
ex- Mayor Kistler. Of Stroudsburg. Pa. and
how his glossy black hair, in consequence
of the shock, had suddenly turned grey
There have been numerous instances OF
this phenomenon. While many have scon-
ed at reports Of such cases. the facts are
accepted by physicians. and the change is
known to them as "canitia."
One of the best known historical victims
to canitia was Marie Antoinette. Queen OF
Louis XVI of France, whose magnificent
hair turned quite white during the terrible
night previous to his execution. Others

grey are Mary Queen of Scots. and Sir

Mrs Margaret Ellen House, of West

ago she gave birth to a baby boy that
was SO small that the doctor and all the
neighbors said 1t could not live. But

fellow to breathe This last, Mrs. House
made up her mind that her babe would
live, for Notwithstanding all predictions
to the contrary, she noted that tne chiio

nlete But it wasesuch a tiny thing! A
napkin ring slipped easily over the little
creatures head and could easily have
been forced over his body.
After day or two ~ was thought good
plan to see II 1t weighed anything, and
then William Earl House, who had risen
greatly in dignity and commanded much
attention. was placed on the scale and
timed the beam at twenty-six ounces. That
was nearly two weeks ago and Master
House has continued to flourish. His eyes
are now open and they are bright and
black as let Unlike fat babies. this slen-
der infant possesses remarkable activity,
and moves around and sits up straight

for life and thinks ii not impossible that

CAPTAIN SAMUEL FORD.

The following resolutions upon the death
of Captain Samuel Ford, a native of Cecil
county were passed by the Second Army
Corps Association, of Washington, d. c.,
in which city Captain Ford resided:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 9, 1900.
"With feelings of profound sorrow and
reverence, this association is called upon
to chronicle the death, on the Goth of Feb
ruary, 1900 OF our beloved comrade, Capt
Samuel Ford, late of the Fifth Maryland
Regiment of Volunteers, Company A.
Captain Ford was regular attendant
at our meetings during his long member
ship, and his noble character and genial
nature endeared him to all the members.
Captain Ford was native of Cecil
county, Maryland, born Sept. II, 1882, a
student Dickinson College, member of the
Legislature in 1857. Early in the War of the
Rebellion he raised company for the Pur-
nell Legion, but which was mustered in
with him as its Captain as Company A,
Fifth Regiment, Maryland Volunteers.
1.-THE services of Captain Ford and his
company were important, distinguished
and of great value to the Union cause
This regiment joined Weber's Brigade of
Freuch's Division, Second Army Corps at
Antietam, and fought with great bravery
and effect, suffering heavy loss. In private
and business life in this city, he has been
universally respected, of spotless integrity
and kindly nature. He leaves a widow
and two sons, one minister of the gospel,
and the other 4 distinguished officer in the
Army of the United States, now on duty
in the PHILIPPINES, to whom we extend our
heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
