County School Boards.-On Monday last
Attorney General Rayner sent communica-
ton to the Secretary of State relative to the
time when the county school boards shall as
provided that the Commissioners shall go into
Office in August. This was stricken out in
order that their terms may begin in the month
of May, but the provision that the boards shall
organize in August was kept in the bill so that,
according to the act, the Commissioners are to
90 into office in May and not to organize until
August. Attorney Rayner is of the
opinion that the provision that the Commits
sioners shall go into office repeats by implica-
ton the requirement for organization in Au-
gust, and has advised that the Commissioners
organize Immediately after their appointment.
In accordance with this opinion the new Bal
timore County School Board will go into office
next Monday and the officers already agreed
upon will be formally elected and at once as
sumo the duties of their respective positions.

The Man With the Junk Shop" Stom-
ach.-The Baltimore San of Wednesday said:
Arthur Shut, known as the man with the
iunkshop stomach, has been discharged from
the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Never again,
he told the physicians, will he adopt the junk
diet, but will in the future eat what other
human beings eat. By the physicians Shut
was regarded as one of the strangest characters
that has ever entered the institution. He is
% years old and lives at Roland Park. He
was admitted to the hospital on March 18th
last, but with some suspicion by the physi-
clans, on account of the extraordinary story he
told. All suspicion was removed when the
physicians opened Shuts stomach and took
therefrom quantity of nails, tacks, chains,
knife blades, broken glass and such stuff. He
said he had been in the habit of chewing for
wagers such articles, but, owing to his skill
at deceiving those who watched him, had
never been compelled to swallow the articles
until three nights before his admission to tie
hospital.
ION March 10th he met number of medical
students in West Baltimore street saloon,
who compelled him to strip to the waist.
Having dared him, Shut said, he couldn't
preserve his reputation unless he complied.
Then he ate miscellaneous collection of nails,
chains knife handles, etc. For three days
Shut suffered great pain before he begged
admission to the hospital. The operation was
performed by Prof. William S. Halstead."

About Manifests on Milk Cans-Law
on the Subject.-Mr. James B. Councilman,
secretary of the United Milk Producers Asso-
citation, has written the United States Post
office Department to ascertain the exact cause
of an order issued not to allow any papers like
manifests or orders to be tied to milk cans.
Mr.. Councilman will erdeavor to have the
order revoked He says that if the manifests
are stopped it would put the farmers and
dealers to great deal of trouble and would
cause disputes. By means of the manifest the
dealer can tell upon receipt how muchemllk
the farmer has shipped, and mistakes can be
found at once. The only reason given by the
Government for the order is that the sending
of such papers has become so general that 1t
was decided to stop it, as it is contrary to the
postal laws
Since the above action was taken an opinion
of an Assistant Attorney General of the United
States on this subject rendered September 26,
1896, has been found. 1t is as follows: "a
written statement may accompany Shipment
of milk without the payment of postage where
the statement pertains to the shipment which
it accompanies and to nothing else. Ii this
statement calls for the return of anything or
makes any inquiry whatever in regard to any
thing else besides the accompanying ship
ment, it is subject to letter rate postage. ANY
written order to or inquiry from the conslgnee
of milk to the consignor is also subject to the
letter rate postage. Any statement, order or
inquiry having the characteristics of personal
correspondence, when it does not pertain to a
part of the cargo, is subject to postage"
The Baltimore San of Thursday said James
B. Councilman; secretary and treasurer of the
United Milk Producers, ASSOCIATION, mas re-
ceived reply from the Postoftice Department
to his inquiry whether or not it is permissible
for milk shippers to tie manifests to milk cans
in shipping the cans. The department. says
milk shippers are expressly permitted by sew
eral rulings of the department to tie manifests
or invoices to milk cans SO long as such com.
munications relate exclusively to the cargo
under shipment"

The Season or Mems Greatest DiScOn-
tent.-This is the season of mans yearly dis
content, for tits now the average housekeeper
discovers that her domicile has accumulated
a large amount of extraneous matter during
the winter, which she must proceed to get rid
ofinstanter, and she goes about it with an en-
thusiasm worthy a more interesting cause.
Woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts
ofhouse- cleaning in the spring, just as mans
does to love, and the other members of the
family know what to expect when she comes
down some morning to breakfast fresh and
rosy and annonces airily: Il m going to have
the library and some of the bedrooms papered
this week and the dining-room painted, so
things will be torn up for little while but
it'll look lovely after it's finished."
Then the men of the house take grip upon
their determinations and protest that if one jot
or title of their belongings is disturbed therell
come home and find their hat box in the wash
basin and their boots on the bureau. just the
same, and then they realize that all there is
left for them to do is to say words softly and
retire to the club or to hotel until this con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED is restored to order.
In house cleaning, as in everything else,
there are styles, and by the most recent and
approved method one room is put to rights at
time and there is little disorder except when
workmen-whom all housewives regard as
perjured villains-disappoint.
Closets and bureau drawers are first set
straight, winter clothes packed away in chests,
useless things disposed of and then the mistress
of the mansion is free to make the rooms shine
like new pin.
1t sounds wonderfully easy. but the writer
absolutely refuses to cite an example when it
was so.
There be housewives, of course, who claim
that their abodes are always in such perfect
order the annual or semi-annual cleaning is
not needed, but these ladies are invariably re-
garded by their feminine friends either as
modern Sapphiras or as exceedingly uncleanly
persons-surey an undesirable choice of evils.
A VERMONT woman announced that she is
candidate for Vice-President on the ticket with
