possible, to elect a ticket which will
have the law repealed.

of January, GIG eggs; during February,
S6I eggs; and during March, 1908; max
ing a total for three months of 2233i
dozen. The eggs were sold at prices
ranging from nc to 22c per dozen,

during that time was II cents per day.
making $9 90 for the three months; leav-
ing clear profit Of $26I3.
l have tried and worked with several
different breeds during the last few years,
and find the White Leghorn the best for
the amateur feeder. Leghorns, because
they are great foragers and easy to make
work in winter, which lessons the danger
OF overlooking. White, because it is the
easiest color to breed true.
After you get good stock it is essential
that you have good warm houses and
plenty of scratching room during the cold
weather. Pullets will lay better in winter
than old hens.

DR.. Mackenzie Resigns.

The Baltimore Sun on Wednes
day published the following from
its Port Deposit correspondent:
CDR. James G. Mackenzie, direc-
tor of the Jacob Tome Institute and
the author of the scheme for its
enlargement, resigned at a meeting
of the Institute trustees Saturday.
rne resignation is to take effect at
the end of the present scholastic
year, in June, when DR.. Mackenzie
will have completed two years of
service.
CDR. Mackenzie was chosen head
of the institute on the recommends
ton of Hon. VIM. II. Harris, Unit
ed States Commissioner of Educa-
tion, and other prominent men. He
had just resigned as head of the
Lawrenceville On. J.) School for
Boys, and il was stated at the time
of his being invited to Port Deposit
that he was to work out new plans
for making use of the endowment
of nearly $l,000,000 left for school
purposes by the late Jacob Tome.
For six years, under a series of
principals, a high class public
school had been in operation ac-
cording to Mr.. Tones ideas.
"The plans which DR.. Mackenzie
proposed to the Tome trustees, and
which were adopted by them about
a year ago, were TO continue pub
schools for both sexes on the en-.
dowment, but to use large por-
tion of the money in founding and
supporting fine secondary school
for boys. Large tracts of land on
the high bluffs above Port Deposit
were secured and plans made for
spending nearly million dollars in
putting up handsome series of
buildings to he occupied by this
boarding school fol boys. The
other schools were also 10 have en-
larged buildings and faculties.
Gan able teaching staff, including
several Johns Hopkins professors
and graduates, was secured for the
new school, and DR.. Mackenzie
that it would begin with |
a limited number of pupils last |
September. All summer workmen
were engaged on some of the build
idgs, but delays arose, and both
pupils and professors found on their
that the buildings were by
no means completed. During the
winter they have been inadequately
housed in scattered quarters. This
gave rise to many criticisms on the
part of both the visitors and the
townspeople and ultimately led to
friction. DR.. Mackenzie found that
he was not so warmly supported as
he had hoped to be and his resig-
nttion followed"
Peter e. Tome, one of the trus-
ices and counsel for the Board of
Directors, says:
eff DR.. Mackenzie's plans had
been carried out as he proposed a
capital of $l5, 100000 would have
been required, and steps would
have been taken not warranted by
the charter of the institution. There
has been some friction in the man.

About Ozone.

Many people talk about ozone with
but 81 much az knowing what ozone is.
There is a prevalent idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
1t is good for the lungs. What that
something is, however, few people have
sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is
what chemists call an allotropic form
of oxygen-that is to say. it is oxygen
n n highly active and concentrated con
dition. In ordinary pure air ozone e
lists. but only in what chemists call
traces" Larger amounts are found in
bceIn and mountain air. 1t instantly
disappears when brought in contact
with decaying matter, dissipating it
self. as it were, in thc~act of oX.diZing
that matter.
Ozone is known to occur more pienti-
fully during thunderstorms. and we
have, Of course. the analogy of its be-
Ing artificiaily produced from oxygen
by electrical discharges in the labora-
tory. On the body ozone is believed to
act rs a stimulant; hence the popular
notion of it's beneficial effects as expe-
rienced by the sea. but in any greater
amount than mere traces it is a violent
i%rritant. One authority goes the length
of asserting that it is doubtful whether

The fusionists have named
their ticket peoples Non ar:i-
san Judiciary Ticket" implying
that their candidate is q non

deceive no one, for the fact is
their nominating convention was
called by the chairmeu Of the
democratic aud populist com
mittees, and their candidate has
at all times been an active unre-
lenting partisan against the re-
publican party. Should he be
elected the result will be hailed
far and wide as a populist vic
tory, which in truth it would be.
This would be a misfortune not
only to the republican party, as
a party, making it more difficult
to attain success in the future,

CNlOrcd Swedes.

Here is the prize specimen: In my un-
sophisticated days l once started out
to call upon a girl l had known in the
old county. l vas told that she lived
at Madison ven and - street.
When l reached that corner. | was in
doubt which house to Try. bat l finally
went up the steps Of one thai faced
OIL the avenu and rang the bell. \ girl
came to the door. Does Miss Nelson
live here! | asked as politely as l
could.
81 don't know.any such person. she
answered. and l was turning away
when she called after me, is she
white?'
THAT irritated me. Did you ever
know any Swedes who were colored:'
! asked.
"'Well. have seen some green
Swcdes.' was her retort. and l did not
continue the conversation.
