Mr.. ]. w. Collier. residing at Dickerson's,
this county, has given up farming for the
time being and has gone into the boating
business on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
He was sheriff Of Montgomery county few
years ago. He recently sold his horses at
public auction, receiving s125 for eight of
the animals and s145 for one.
Mr.. A. r. Zepp, who was supervisor OF
roads for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company between Baltimore and Wash
ington junction until recently, died at the
dropsy of the heart. Mr.. Zepp was popu-
la- with all the railroad employees, and his
death Is much regretted. He had been in
the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio since
1858, starting in as a track laborer. About
fourteen years ago he was made super
visor of road. He is survived by widow
and eight children. Two of his sons are
in the employ of the road at present one
as civil engineer and another as chief
clerk to the supervisor of road. Mr.. Shar-
ron. at Mount Airy. He was fifty-four
years old. Funeral services and interment
took place at Sykesville Saturday after
noon.
Three colored men became involved in a.
quarrel over cat at Mt. Airy yesterday
afternoon, the parties to the fracas being
John Johnson, a laborer; his son and a
coiored man known as Shorty" The
quarrel arose as to the ownership and pedi-
gree of the cat. Johnsons son, 1t is said,
had weapon, and Shorty grabbed it and
shot old man Johnson in the breast His
condition is serious. He was Immediately
removed to the Maryland University Hos
pital at Baltimore. 1t is said that Shorty
soon left the scene.
Mr.. Arthur Williams. a farmer near
Jacksonville, lost a valuable horse from
spinal meningitis Thursday. This makes
two animals lost by him. Veterinary Sur
geon Thos. B. Franklin Of Baltimore last
night visited the farm of Mr. Williams and
found another one of his horses nearly
dead and several others very sick. He
says the disease is in no way contagious.
but is the result of eating bad food which
causes what Is called spinal aenemia.
There seems to be no cure for it, but in
order to prevent others from getting it
care should be taken with their food, and
they should be kept away from straw or
musty hay or bad corn. Mr.. Williams has
nine horses sick.
Horace Jackson, a colored employe at
the government quarries at Dickerson's.
this county, was badly injured Saturday
afternoon while sledging rock A small
piece of the rock on which he was working
penetrated his eye destroying the sight
and very painfully injuring him. He was
sent to Freedmen's Hospital at Washing

MOST PEOPLE LOPSIDED.
Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears of Men and Women.

Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears of Men and Women.
From the Now York Sun
The two sides of a persons face are
never alike. The eyes are out Of line in two
cases out OF five, and one eye is stronger
than the other In seven persons out of ten
The right ear is also, a rule, higher
than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has perfect
eyes. the largest percentage Of defects pre-
yailing among fair-haired people. Short
sight is more common in town than among
country folk, and of all people the Ger
mans have the largest proportion OF short
sighted persons.
The crystalline lens of the eye is the one
portion of the human body which continues
TO increase in size throughout life and does
not cease with the attainment of maturity.
The smallest interval Of sound can be
better distinguished with one ear than with
both The nails of two fingers never grow
with the same rapidity, that of the middle
finger growing the fastest, while that Of
the thumb grows the SloweSt.
In ffty-four cases out of hundred the
left leg is stronger than the right. The
bones of an average human male skeleton
weigh twenty pounds; those Of woman
are six pounds lighter.
That unruly member. the tongue Of a
woman, Is also smaller than that of a man,
given u man and woman of equal size and
weight 1t may be appalling to reflect, but
ii is nevertheless true, that the muscles of
the human jaw exert a force of over 800
pounds.
The symmetry which is the sole intelli-
gible ground for our idea of beauty, the
proportion between the upper and lower
half of the human body. exists in nearly
all males. but Is never found in the female.
American limbs are more symmetrical than
those OF any other people. The rocking
chair. according to an English scientist,
is responsible for the exercise which in
creases the beauty of the lower limbs.
The push which the toes give to keep the
chair in motion. repeated and repeated,
makes the inStep high, the calf round and
full. and 1t makes the ankle delicate and
slender.
British women are said to average two
Inches more in height than Americans.
Averages for the height of women show
that those born in summer and autumn are
taller than those born in spring winter.
The tallest girls are born in August
As far as boys are concerned, those who
first see the light during autumn and win-
ter not tall those born in spring
and summer. Those born in November are
the shortest: in July, the tallest.
An average head OF fair hair consists OF
14:s ,O40 hairs, dark hair of 105 600 while a
red head has only 1920. Fair-haired peo
pie are becoming less numerous than for

HOW CHINAMEN GAMBLE.
They Wager Their Working Years In
Quail and Cricket Fights.
From the London Mail,

IIUiI tue houuOn Mall,
One Of the most common ways of betting
In China Is with oranges. This goes on at
the fruit stalls and also In private houses.
The bet is on the number Of seeds in an
orange. Sometimes 1t Is as to whether the
number Is odd or even, and. at others as to
the exact number OF seeds the orange con-
tains. II at a fruit stand the dealer will
pay the lucky guesser five times his debt,
but the loser must pay the value Of the
orange, and also five times as much as he
has wagered.
Quail fighting Is done on a table with
little fence about its edge. The fighting
quails have been starved for some time
As they are put into the pen few grains of
rice or wheat are laid before them, and
they at once begin to fight over them. They
are trained for the purpose, and a good
fighter Is worth f2O and upward.
1t is the same with the crickets. Their
prize rings are little bowls. The crickets
have been trained. They seem to under
stand their masters word. and they are
urged on to the combat with straws. Some
of them are very fierce, and many will fight
until they die. Those which chirp the most
loudly are considered the best fighters.
The Chinese understand how to feed and
groom the crickets for the fray. They give
them honey, boiled chestnuts and boiled
rice and certain kinds Of fish. They do not
allow any one to smoke near them, for they
think that tobacco Is injurious to them. II
the crickets grow sick, they feed them upon
mosquitoes and red ants.
In a cricket fight the crickets are weighed
before they are put into the ring. They are
matched as to size and color. The betting
is done just as carefully as at an English
horse race. The stakes are held by COM
mittee which deducts certain percentage
for those who own the fighting houses.
During the fight the gamblers grow ex-
cited. They scream and yell and hop up
and down, one insect gets the better of
the other, and go almost mad when one
wins.
The Chinese have all sorts Of games, but
mostly games Of chance. Even in kite
flying the boys and mentor even the men
| fly kites-will try to see which has the
strongest string. forcing his string against
the strings of the others to break them. In
such contests the strings are often soaked
with glue and busted with powdered glass
that they may cut or saw the better.
| AT every feast, moreover. there are games
Of guessing upon which money Is staked.
And what, then, is the result of all this ?
There are labor slaves in China. They
have been worked within recent years in
| the coal mines west of Pekin. There is a
systematic scheme In that region to involve
men in gambling debts and then take them
to the coal mines to make them work them
out. Once in the mines they are subject to
| fines and other charges which make them
slaves for life. The Chinese government
recently learned of this condition. and is
| said to have taken some steps to put stop
/ to the abuses.

CARE OF GOLDFISH,
Pointers on How to Keep the Aquar-

From the New York Herald

Pointers ON How to Keep the Aquar-
ium Healthy and Comfortable.
From the New York Herald
Mr.. Otto Eggeling, well-known German
aquarist says goldfish can easily be kept
alive for years provided the aquarium Is
supplied with a sufficient number of aquatic
plants, SO that the impurities exhaled by
the fish are inhaled by the plants, and vice
versa. One should counterbalance the other,
thus keeping the water fresh and pure
To illustrate his remarks Mr.. Eggeling
showed me a large aquarium in his room
in which there were about two hundred
fish of different varieties, besides turtles
and frogs. Among them were some val
liable Japanese goldfish, costing, he said,
from $25 to $50 apiece.
Now. here" said Mr.. Eggeling. "are fish
that have had for seven years, and they
are easily good for seven more You see.
the aquarium is we'll filled with aquatic
plants. and SO thick is the growth at the
bottom that it Is almost totally dark there.
That is the great point to be observed in
aquarfums. People come to me constantly
and complain that their fish are dying off
one by one. When I see their aquariums
and note the weak plants they have In them
I can see the reason at once.
But there is another point equally i'm
portant, and that is, too much food. Most
lovers Of goldfish want to make sure that
the fish do not starve, and. consequently.
they give them more than enough Of food.
Fish suffer from indigestion as well as
we do, and q great many OF them die from
it. If the fish are fed three times a week
1t is enough. and then only few pinches
OF food should be placed on the surface of
the water. II they come UP for the food at
once and eat 1t eagerly they are hungry,
and little more food won't hurt them.'
l asked Mr.. Eggeling II 1t was necessary
to refill the aquarium every day with fresh
water.
mot at ALL" he said. "Once a month is
enough. II the aquarium is we'll filled with
sand and plants. To put in fresh water
every day would chill the fish and bring on
sickness. 1t Is the easiest thing in the
world to keep an aquarium. and another
thing not to be lost sight of Is that II is
healthy to keep one in your rooms. You
know there are always impurities In the
air. The water in the aquarium attracts
these impurities. and the fish thrive on
them as well as the plants. Hence the air
in the room is kept purified thereby"
