GERMAN SUPERSTITIONS.
Fancies Brought to Maryland From the
Fatherland.

FdllSFld0Q.
! The old German settlers of Western
Maryland were very superstitious.
They brought their queer notions
and fancies from the fatherland and
instilled them into the minds of their
children. Many of them still linger.
They had signs for everything they
did. Whilst they were a pious, God
fearing people they consulted the al
manac frequently. On no account
would they plant vegetable seeds
without consulting the almanac as to
the sign. If they wanted to plant
peas they would not plant them in
thesign of the virgin or flower woman,
as they would blossom too much and
not bear. Corn beans must not be
planted i'll the down going of the
moon as they would not wind up the
stalks. Sure death would follow if
you transplanted a parsley stalk.
Beets must not be planted in the sign
of the lion. Cucumbers must be
planted in the dark of the moon to
escape the ravages of the bugs.
A roof on a barn or house must not
be put on in the up going of the moon.
Fence posts must not be planted in
the down going of the moon. Hogs
must not be slaughtered in the sign
of the fish nor in the decrease of the
moon beca use, first, a hog that is
slaughtered in the sign of the fish the
meat will taste tishy when cooked,
and, second, if killed in the decrease
of the moon the meat will not remain
plump but will shrivel 1t was al
ways advisable to slaughter in the
dark of the moon to prevent shippers
from citing into the meat. A death
was sure to happen in your family
during the year if you carried mat
took or shovel through your dwell
ing. These are only a few of the
many superstitions of these old Ger
man folk.
A quaint recipe copied from an old
German day book belonging to one
of the original settlers in 1865, called
"a certain cure forsweeney in horses"
is as follows.
Take stone out of the chimney,
the first Friday in the new moon be
fore sunup, without talking to any
body; turn the horses head toward
sunrise. Keep the stone in your hand
as you take it off the chimney; don't
move it until you are done with it,
then put it back to the same place as
you took it first Do this three times
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
mornings. Then daub it over with
mortar the last morning, observing
the rules above each time. Operate
with the stone as follows: If the
sweeney is on the right side take the
stone with the right hand. If the
sweeney is on the left side take the
stone with the left hand. Begin with
the stone at the point of the horses
nose, stroke it clear over the head,
neck, back to the end of the tail three
times, repeating the following words:
"Flaish und blut swine mark und
bine ich fartraib dich dem slime die
komst min nimmer more"

Mountain Lake Park Water Works.

Mountain Lake Park Water Works.
The water works system at Noun
tain Lake Park has this year been
very unsatisfactory, Notwithstanding
the additional supply of water prom
ised by the management of the SER
vice, which is, we may state, entirely
separate and distinct from the Noun
tain Lake Park Association, being
owned ana controlled by one man, l..
D. Yoder, Esq, of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Ioder last year secured control
of large spring up on the mountain
east of Mountain Lake Park, and put
a force of men to work digging a
trench in which pipe was to be laid
to lead the water to the Park. The
system at first installed by the water
company was a somewhat crude af-
fair but gave general satisfaction,
however. The water was pumped
from Crystal spring to water tower
and from thence led through six inch
mains to all parts of the Park. When
the trenches for the new system were
made ready these pipes were dug up
and replaced with two-inch mains
and they alone were supposed by the
management to be able to supply all
present needs. The result, however,
has been otherwise and in a number
of instances hotels and private houses
have been without water service al
most the entire season. The six-inch
mains were carried to the head of the
new system and laid. The quantity
of pipe was insufficient to lay the en-
tire distance and when it was ex-
hausted terra Gotta pipe was substi-
tuted with the result that when the
water was turned on in full force the
terra Gotta pipe burst and flooded the
fields of a number OF farmers and left
Mountain Lake dry. AS a result OF
this number of damage suits are
threatened by property owners at
the Park and the end is not yet.

This is one of the prettiest countries

The natives of these islands are a
very peculiar race of people. They
resemble the monkey very much,
both in features and actions and as
for clothing they have scarcely any.
The males seldom wear more than a
breech clout and the women wear a
dress that would be the envy of any
woman in the States. 1t is made like
a sack without a bottom and is fas-
tened around the waist with a hemp
orpe. They wear a sort of sandal on
their feet and when they walk they
have to shuttle along to keep them
from comingo and they can carry
an enormous load on their heads, the
top of which is as fiat as can be. For
transportation they use the caribou
or water buffalo, as it is called in the
States, and the carts they ride in
well they don't quite come up to the
automobile. They are built like a
house on wheels and a whole family
can ride in one without crowding.

ALCOHOL ON THE NERVES.

T. S. -Clouston, NJ. D., Medical Su-
perintendent of the Royal Edinburgh
Asylum, writing in the American
Mother for October on the effects OF
alcohol on the nerves gives the follow
ing results from scientific observa-
tions:
1. That alcohol in excess distends
the capillSries in the brain, thickens
the membranes, causes destruction Of
nerve substance and produces brain
degeneration, and no excuse can be
found for this. excessive use.
2. Alcohol in moderation Hberates
energy, but with marked loss Of con-
troll: interferes with coordination Of
muscular effort and with clear thought.
3. That even where days elapse be-
tween the giving of moderate amounts
the brain more quickly feels the effect
Of subsequent doses, showing perma-
nent injury.
4 That even moderate use tends to
create craving for repetition.
5. That for young brains the effects
are always dangerous and the finer the
hraln the more dangerous.
6. That for people over fifty alcohol
is always dangerous.
This leaves at the most, very small
IesWeys for the use Of alcohol. That
man certainly is not wise who begins,
even in middle life, habit which after
ffty years Of age viii be dangerous to
him, while fnexcusably culpable Is he
who gives to his child that which de-
str0ys the integrity Of his brain and
consequently interferes with his moral
