Some of the southern Democratic pa.
pers keep on saying that there is no use
for the Republicans to try TO capture
any of the Southern Statesin 1904 Pos.
sibly they were right in this conjecture,
but even if they are right, the fact will
have no effect on national politics. The
Republicans have shown more than once
that they can win Presidents and Con.
crosses without the aid of the South.
They will probably be able to do this in
1904 and 1905 What will it avail the
South to keep outside the Republican

u IL Called Ba1iko-Baiikf, 10 NesS
Lively and q whole school Can
Play at once.

In the game of baliko-baliki the play
ers choose up, one side taking one SIDE
of barn, hedge, house or similar OBJ
struction, and the other set the oppo-
site side.
The ball Is thrown over the obstruc-
ton, and, if possible, il must be caught
by some one on the opposite side III
it is caught, the catcher darts around
the corner and forthwith pelts the
first one within reach.
Sometimes he is obliged to run far
and long before he is near enough TO
hit any one, for when he appears
every one calls "Baliki! Balikil" and
the word of warning sets every player
off at his swftest speed.
When caught the captive is led of,
and belongs TO the side of the captors'
If no one is hit the chaser returns to
his own side.
At once the ball comes over the OBJ
struction again. If il is not caught
back il goes again.
AS soon as 1t appears above the OBJ
struction every boy cries "Baliko!
with special emphasis on the last syl
liable, and every effort is made to catch
IL. 1t is easy TO see that "Baliko'
means "Be ready TO catch the ball,
and "Baliki" means run for your
life" Hence the intense excitement
and activity of the game.
The side that captures all the other
players wins. Sometimes ii takes a
W hole school term to decide the battle,
and the issue becomes as exciting as a
political campaign

OF schoolboy honor, since each player
IS in duty bound 10 play his very best

side he likes best.-N. Y. sun.

DIPPING FOR PARASITES.
Removing troublesome Pests
from sheep.

Parasites OF all kinds are not only
injurious TO the wool Of sheep. but to
the health Of the animals as well. and
dipping TO destroy them should be re-
sorted 20 wherever and whenever they
are present at shearing time. There
is no other way 10 remove the trou-
blesome pests except by repeating dip
ping and sometimes it requires good
many TO accomplish the desired end.
Ticks Will worry the thin weak sheep
more than the strong ones. and they
seem 10 congregate ON them i'm such
numbers as to cause their death.
Sometimes the ticks appear on the
sheep shortly after dipping. and the
impression is made that the dipping
did not free them from the parasites;
but this is mistake. The trouble was
that the ticks were in the sheds or
stables where the sheep were kept,
and by putting the animals back in
their infested quarters the ticks soon
covered them again The living quar-
tiers of the sheep must also be treated
with the solution by spraying and
washing and in this way we protect
the animals from future invasion.
\ second dipping should follow the
first about ten days later. and the liv-
ing quarters should also receive a Sec
ond spraying Sometimes where the
parasites are YER numerous a third
dipping and spraying may pay-Bos-

TubercuIos,- Awonp swim.

A little observation as TO the ages
and kinds of swine in which this dis
ease is found most frequently shows
the greatest number in sows which
have narrowed one or more filters Of
pigs. 1t seems that when young pigs
are infected the disease runs a rather
rapid course more 50 than in the aged
animals, and when so infected they
do not grow as do the unaffected
swine, and they do not put on fat;
they are thin and lanky. The owner
discovering that they are not thriv-
ing as they should, concludes that it
does not pay TO continue feeding them,
markets them at once, and they are
to be found in slaughter .hosses, some
times 30, 40 or more in one bunch or
lot.-Dr. Stewart, in Farmers Review.

IN THE HOLY CITY.
An American Travellers Observa-
lions During n Recent Visit to
the Holy City.

Jerusalem is literally ''builded upon
courts and paved streets of the pres
ent unkempt city are the distinguish
able remains of eight older cities
those of Solomon, Nehemiah, HeroG,
Hadrian, Constantine, Omar, God
frey, Saladin, Suleman, writes Walter
Williams from the Holy City" to his
paper in Columbia, Mo. Jerusalem
has been besieged ~ times, a record
of yicissitude unparalleled in the his
tory of the worlds cities, 1t has
been burned, sacked, RACED to the
ground, its inhabitants of every faith
put to the sword, all the woes uttered
by its own prophets against it have
come to pass, yet Jerusalem still re-
sembles a great fortress of the mid
die ages. Seen from the Mount of
Olives, its massive gray walls, its fiat
rooted houses, it's mosques and
churches with their conspicuous tow
ers and minarets, present a marvel
Gus picture, beautiful, sublime, UNI
fading, from the picture gallery of
the mind. The city itself has mar
row, dirty streets-the water supply
for its 10000 people comes in a four
inch pipe-the open courts are few
and small, the houses are punched to-
gether with no regard for room or
cleanliness. Some houses are under
ground and others on top of the high
inclosing walls. The people are
fanatical, ignorant, selfish. There is
much to detract from the ideal city,
but despite all this and more Jerusa-
lem from the Mount of Olives is the
same in it's essential details, the same
in the framework of its setting, the
same in fascinating suggestion, as the
Jerusalem of which David sang, and
over which Jesus wept.

Thrilling Experience of a New York

A New York lawyer, who has trav.

with an anaconda, which, according
to the Post, he describes as follows:
Il was riding ahead of my party
along narrow road in the Amazon
valley. My mount was large white
mule, whose only ambition in life
seemed to be to bite and kill every
one he encountered. | do not know
quadruped than any of the wild ami
mails i'll the Matteo crosse. On either
side of the road rose the forest. Tie
branches of the trees met here anu
there overhead, so that the thorough
fare looked more like verdant tun-
mel than a country road. Suddenly
my mule stopped, dropped his ears
and turned his head about. Think
ing that this was evidence of de-
sire on his part to bite my leg, l
was about to whip him when no
ticed that he was shivering all ovci
in an ague.
81 looked up and down the road,
and then | shivered. Not more than
60 feet away huge snake, half-coiled
around bough which projected over
the road, lay swinging and looking
at me with a glare that was not at
all assuring. l had left my rifle be-
hind on a baggage mule, and had
nothing with which to fight save a
hunting knife. l drew this prompt
ly from the scabbard, and, with the
courage worthy of better cause,
used it as a spur upon my luckless
steed, which turned and galloped for
dear life in the opposite direction.
Il reached my party, got the rifle
and with my men galloped back tn
secure the constructor. The reptile
and l must have had the same brand
of bravery. He had dropped from the
Dough and vanished in the recesses

The mine operators announced alter
their weekly conference on Tuesday, that
they would make no concessions what
ever in order to end the strike in the an
thracite coal regions. In other words
thew are so confident of finally starving
the miners into submission that they DO
NOT care to what pass things come
through the curtaiment of the coal sup
ply. The questions of right and justice
tice are not considered by them, and
after period of three months since Its
iraueuration the strike situation remains
unchanged. Having absolute control OF
the mines and their output the operators
are not troubled with the fear of being
unable to make good their heavy losses,
through the enforced idleness of their
mines. Should they lose the strike the
nlea of increased wages to the miners
would be excuse enough for raise in the
nrice of coal, and in the event OF their
finally settling the dispute at their own
terms the loss in consequence OF The strike
offers the same excuse. In any event the
consumer is to be gouged and there will be
no redress from the edict Of the operators
Small wonder is it that the doctrine OF
government control of such gigantic cor
poration and ownership Of public utilities
is gaining i'll favor with the people, as
,yav to save themselves from this whole
sale plundering which is being carried on
against them by all the big trusts.

AlIegany's Good Roads Convention

The Commissioners of Allegany county
voted S. 900 to cooperate with the high
way experts of the Stale and Federal
governments, and section of model road
has been constructed between Cumber-
land and Frostburg. On Saturday, Aug.
20, this piece of scientifically constructed
roadway will be officially put in use, and
there will be good roads convention at
which addresses will be made by experts
explaining the science and economy Of
road construction and maintenance.
1t is to be hoped that the good roads
movement will spread all over the State
and our Cecil county road managers will
come to realize that the best road is, in
the long run, the cheapest road. The
effort made last spring TO set the ball
rolling in this county seems to have come
to naught, through lack of funds or other
reasons. Certain it is that drive over
some of the recently mended portions of
our highways will soon convince anyone
that few Of the scientific principles of road
construction and maintenance are being
followed in this county. The same old
method of patching is being employed
digging out the bitches and throwing the
dirt into the middle Of the road, there to
be ground into dust by travel in dry
weather and worked into deep mud in
wet; washed back into the side bitches
and the operation repeated the next time
the road is mended." There is nothing
SO hard to break away from as an old
habit. 1t is the "habt" to mend the
roads in this fashion, and until they are
placed under the control of a practical
road builder the practice is hardly likely
to be broken mp, but the annual road APP
preparations expended as in years gone
by, without any permanent benefit being
derived.

Atlantic City's tidal wave excitement

dicted calamity failed TO overwhelm the
city and had the effect of frightening not
a few of the timid and superstitious, 1t
turned out to be quite as successful an
advertising feature for the shore as the
sea serpent and similar fakes. Chief OF
the United States Weather Bureau Willis
l.. Moore, went to the seaside with his
family to enjoy his vacation during the
foolish scare and give the scientific rea-
sons why there was not the slightest
probability of the occurrence of the ide-
stroying tidal wave.
