MARYLAND's RAVEN ROCK.
y Gigantic Mass That Has Fallen
from the Side of One Of
It's Mountains.


DR.. Philip r. Uhler, provost Of the
Peabody institute. is much interested
in q plan to have the farmers and
other residents in the neighborhood
of Buena Vista Springs. Washington
county, combine and develop what
DIR. Uhler declares to be one of the
most wonderful natural objects any
where in this country, says the Balti-
more American. This is Raven Rock,
b high, castellated fragment of rock
(which rears it's head hundreds of
feet in the air, appearing just like
great medieval castle in one of the
European countries. The rock is now
pvergrown with trees and under
brush, so that it is hard to get good
idea of its remarkable structure, and
DIR. Uhler's idea is to have the farm
ers and residents clear the vegeta-
tion away, when the rock would stand
out clear and bold and would be one
of the sights of the Atlantic seaboard.
Raven Rock is SO called because in
Former years a great number of raw
ems had their nests on its summit.
Not many of the birds remain now,
but the name still clings to the rock.
It is fragment of what in earlier
ages was a mighty mountain pass,
but which is now broken into num-
Der of masses. There were great out
lying ridges which were connected
with Mount Quirauk, and Raven Rock
was rent away from one of the ridges
by some great convulsion of nature.
It is now more than half mile from
what was originally the other part
of the mass.
Raven Rock rises like great
ruined CASTLE" said DIR. Uhler recent
", beside the road to Hagerstown,
extending along the line of the road
for 700 feet. 1t is constituted of
Potsdam sandstone, which is the over
lying rock of that region, and which
has been cracked apart in a sin
gularly symmetrical manner. It
gives the effect Of perpendicular
wall OF rock rising hundreds of feet
above the present level of the ravine
which bounds the opposite side of the
road. Being SO completely covered
with trees, it can only be seen by
going some distance down the road
to q point where only one end is Wis
ible.
"The upper part of the rock is crag-
gy, and can be assembled by path
which leads off to the right, 300 or
400 feet to the east 1t is possible
to ascend it by crawling right up
the rock, but it is an awful climb.
The rock is wonderful thing. I.
have been all over the country and
seen the natural wonders that peo-
pie travel hundreds and thousands OF
miles to see, but I have never seen
anything like Raven Rock-at least.
in this part of the world"
The rock is on part of the prop
erty which belongs to Joseph Brown.
q well-to-do farmer of the section.
There are about ten acres of vegeta-
tion, which obscure the beauty of the
view, but If they were cut away the
rock would stand boldly out and be
. sight worth going far to see.

UTILITY OF sHoEBAGs.
Some Points About an Article That
Every Decentralization
Should Have.

The fashion of shoebags is in danger
of being abandoned with many other
good, old-fashioned things which mod
ern people have no time for. These
bags should be made of dark ticking or
canvas, and stretched across con-
venient door in a closet of clothes,
which is supplied with air and light,
says the New York Tribune. 1t is inn
portant that the shoes should be well
aired. Instead of close pockets arrange
straps to hold the shoes. When you put
the latter away turn back the tops of
high boots and arrange the soles of all
shoes against the back of the bag, so
that they will be well aired on the in
side. 1t is just as easy, when one is
once trained to do so, to put shoes away
in such bag as it is to throw them on
the floor. If they are arranged in the
bag as described, they will be well
aired in ~ hours, and this is about the
time pair of shoes should rest after
being worn. No pair of shoes worn day
after day lasts so long as the same pair
would if it was worn the same length
of time with ''rest" between the Pc
RODS of use. 1t is cheaper to keep two
pairs of shoes and wear them alter
nateiy, so that they can have these
rests when the leather gets into its
proper shape.

ABOUT BREATHING.
4 Physician's Advice for Those Who
Are AFFLICTED with Weak
LunEa.

In order that each organ and tissue
of the body may best perform its
function, it must have a good, gener-
Gus supply of oxygen. This must
come into the system through the
lungs. Full breathing of the best DIR
insures the securing of this whole
some oxygen supply, says doctor in
Housekeeping.
Most people breathe too shallow,
and hence most people would find it
to their advantage to take some es-
pecial breathing exercise. Those
whose occupations tax the lungs
taking good deal of "wind"-are the
least liable to need these exercises,
but nearly all those who follow the
quiet avocations-those of the seden-
tary order-are too unconscious of
their 1reathing, and easily become
shallow breathers, with fiat, debili-
tated chests, and as a result debili-
tated bodies, for the condition of the
blood is regulated by the amount of
oxygen it receives.
There are few of the class alluded
to, with the exception OF those whose
lungs have become too weak, who
would not be benefited by getting out
into the morning air to take 20 or SO
full breaths, completely filling the
lungs at every inspiration. To obtain
the best results from such exercise,
these breaths should be taken slowly,
and held bit before expiration; and
all through the day, while at work,
an occasional, or even "semi-occasion-
al" breath of this sort starts one
along wonderfully. In case of weak or
actually diseased lungs more care
must be taken unless undue strain is
put upon the lungs; begin with but
three or four of these breaths, mod
erately taken, at first, and gradually
increased as the lungs become adapt
ed and stronger, as they most GER
tainly will under the regular and per-
sistent action of such tonic.
One should breathe through the nos
trils rather than the mouth. The fine
hairs growing in the nostrils serve
to prevent more or less dust from en-
tering the breathing tract, while this
longer and more tortuous passage to
the lungs gives the air warming be-
fore it reaches the sensitive lung, a
fact of considerable significance in
cold and damp weather, when catarrh,
bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., are rife.
Breathing through the mouth is noisy
and coarse, causes the dissemination
of bad odors, and besides gives the
countenance blank, un;ntelligent ex-
preston.

AMERICAN INDIANS, FATE.
The Red Race Is Rapidly Becoming
Absorbed by the suDerior
White Race.

f
"The American Indians as a race
will in time become extinct" said
Lewis G. Carl Of Wyoming, according
to the Washington Post, "but the ex-
termination will be accomplished
through the red race being absorbed
by the white. The leaven is already
at work. The offspring of the 'squaw
man and his wife, when educated and
brought up in the way of right liv-
ing, is pretty respectable American
citizen. The half-breed marries a
white girl and not much is thought
of it. Their children are only quar-
ter-blood Indians and. it is hard to
distinguish between them and a white
child. They are raised as white chill
dren are, educated in the same
schools, and by constant association
become to all intents and purposes as
are other Americans. There is no
such prejudice against the marriage
of Indians and whites as exists
against unions between whites and
negroes. The 'squaw man is not
usually looked upon as citizen of
very high standing, it is true, but he
is not subjected to the social ostra-
cism that falls to the lot of a white
man who marries a negro woman.
Men who would rather thousand
times see their daughters dead than
married to negro raise no partic-
ular objection when they marry In
dams, especially If the husband Is
an educated and prosperous farmer,
rs hundreds of the western Indians
are. The reason for this distinction
between Indians and negroes is sub
ject win leave philosophers to deal
with. At q time when the Indians
were waging warfare against our an
cestors, burning their prisoners at the
stake and committing the most revolt
ing acts of savagery, the negro slave
was serving his master faithfully. per-
haps helping him to defend his home
against the red men of the forests.
The negroes for generations have lived
with the white man, spoken his Lam
guage and been accustomed practical
ly TO the same modes Of life. An In
dian whose parents were utter saw
ages is sent to school and educated,
puts on white mems clothing, learns
to eat with fork instead of with
his fingers and he is considered a far
superior man to the negro, whose
forefathers for generations have lived
with the whites. The only explana.
ton of the phenomenon 1 can think
of is that there is race superiority
in favor of the Indian; that the red
man in America was superior saw
age to the black man in Africa"

FIRST SAW HIS BRIDE.
The Chinese Minister Feasted HiA
Eyes Upon His Bride Before
Marriage.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter at Washington, is one of the few
men of his race who enjoys the priv
ilege Of seeing his wife before he
married her. How he gained this
rare privilege was told by himself
to group of friends at the capital
the other day, says Washington ex-
change.
'In China our young men do not
select wives for themselves, but leave
it to their parents" said he. 1--WE
know that our parents want us to
be happy, and we are willing to let
them judge who will make good
wife. The young man is never per-
mitted to see before the ceremony the
one whom he is to marry.
1--WE have few unhappy marriages
in China, and perhaps that is be-
cause we do not spend all the affec-
ton before marriage, as it seems to
me the young people in America some
times do.
Il was very anxious to see the
girl my parents had chosen for me,
but they told me it would be impos-
sible to have an interview or even a
formal meeting, and that could not
even see her. But after I had begged
very hard they finally consented to
let me have one look at her and the
permission overjoyed me.
$50 one day ! sat by q window be-
hind blind which entirely hid me.
After waiting long time three young
women came down the street and
was told that one of them was to be
my future wife.
"'But which one? Which one is
she?' demanded eagerly, and when
was told that it was the one on
the inside looked at her harder and
with greater delight than 1 ever
looked at anything else either be-
fore or since.''
The minister was silent few mo-
ments and his mind was evidently
busy with the pleasant past. Then
he said with half chuckle:
"What 1 was curious to know. but
could not find out, was whether the
future Mrs. WI knew I was looking
at her. Oh, it was entirely contrary
to Chinese etiquette - entirely - but
shall never forget how happy 1
felt as my bride-to-be came SO pref
tily up the street,"

RECOGNIZED THE WILD MAN.
Him to Be HIS Long-Lost
Brother.

The wild man has been at his busi-
ness so long that he has learned it
quite thoroughly, and now he thinks
he ought to have better wages, says
the Atlanta journal. To the public
he never says a word, but he talked
some good plain English to his en-
ployers the other day. He intimated
that he would form a wild mans
union If necessary to get higher
wages. His employers Undertook to
tell him who he was and to remind
him that he was in their power, but
he swore in all the oaths peculiar to
the wild mans vernacular, declaring
that he would quit being wild and be-
come civilized before he would con-
tinue to eat raw meat and wallow
around at the end of steel chains in a
hot pit for $15o day. 1t was finally
agreed that he could have two dol
lars day, and he went back down in.
to the pit and is now wilder than
ever.
This particular wild man has
brother who has for some time been
wandering about in civilization, and a
romantic meeting occurred between
the two few days ago. They didn't
fall on each others necks and weep.
Z The civilized brother paid his dime to
see the wild man, not dreaming that
he was to see his own long-lost broth
er. After gazing into the pit for a
few minutes, his eyes resting on the
raw meat and huge steel chains rather
than on the creature so securely
bound, he looked at the well-adver-
tised wild man. He started as If
about to scream. Then he caught the
wild mans eyes, and they recognized
each other. They both broke out in
a big hal hattie wild man laugh
ing just like his civilized brother.
The management did not allow the
two to get together, but hurriedly
elected the civilized brother. As the
wild man had just received a raise of
so cents day, he was satisfied to let
his brother continue to wander in the
walks of civilization.
