Teachers Institute.

The ladies and gentlemen who
attended the Teachers Institute,
which was held at the Masonic
Temple, in this city, the early
part of this week, were greatly
disappointed at the failure of
Prof. Mitchell, of Mt. st. Mary's
College, to fulfill his engagement
to address the Institute of the
Geography of Frederick County.
The Institute was largely at
tended. Frederick county may
well be proud of her splendid
body of lady and gentleman
teachers. The address of Mr..
Samuel Dutrow was greatly ap-
preciated.

to country manufactures" So far
went this principle that when the
paper mill was built near Fred
erick town, the Committee OF OBJ
scrvation recommended all to
'.save their old linen and wooden
rags and prefer papvr made here
to any foreign manufacture"
Fredel ick was also great gran
AIRY and storchouse of provisions.
With the spring of LII came
permanent government for West
ern Maryland. as for the rest of
the State. The Committee of
Observation passed away, the
regularly constituted officers and
courts took its place. Tue best
blood of the region was in the
armies, and the records of the
Orphans Couits show long lists
of those wounded. disabled and
slain in the conflicts with the
British fcrces. Sudden ala!ms
like the Blandywina campaign in
the autumn Of 11l1 hiought out
the militia with arms, il they
could be securel. but il no., then
without arms, to relieve other
militiamen already on duty.
In the troublous days which
marked the beginning of l777,
the whole Western Maryland
militia were called out for Conti-
mental service, and Thomas John
son writes that he learns that
"Washington militia turn out
we'll. j. Johnson'i and Bruce's
Battalions from Frederick coun
ty) do us honor. b. Johnson's
not so much" and the "MOntgom
cry militia muster very thin"
John Stull, commander of the
Washington County men, speaks
of them as "spirited in the de-
fence of liberty"
When three thousand troops
were called for from Maryland in
March, 1913, Frederick'S quota
was 800. more than one tenth of
the whole number and more than
any other county. In addition
to this, 156 men were summoned
from Montgomery and 120 from
Washington county. When Corn
wallis advanced into Virginia in
1881. and Lafayette retreated be
fore him, 800 militia were sum
moned from Frederick county and
250 from Montgomery county to
go to Lafayette'S aid that he
might make head against the
British. In that same expedition
against CORVALLIS, which was to
end at Yorktown so gloriously for
the American arms, Frederick
county not only sent its citizens
as volunteers, but also provided
the allied armies with much
needed stores of cattle and flour.
No hostile force reached Fred
erick, but i'll 1777 the Legislature
ordered the erection of barracks
there for the accommodation of
two battalionS. The year before,
the Committee of Observation had
asked that a post be established
at that point and this desire
would now be gratified. These
buildings were constructed on the
eminence at the south end of the
town, which bears the local name
OF Hallerstown hill, and long
after the war remained unused,
save when some militia encamp-
ment made the place gay for a
few days. During the Civil War
the barracks became hospitals
filled with the sick and wounded
soldiers of both armies. At the
close of the war, the State de-
voted the buildings and grounds
to the use OF the newly established
Maryland School for the Deaf.
Part of the buildings have been
! torn down to give place to more
modern and convenient struc-
lures; but portion still remains,
a relic of the days when Freder-
ick was a frontier town.

ceedingly remote Honey bees and In
sects and bugs OF less degree find pit
falls and often death in the beautiful
blossoms of the milkweed, otherwise
known as the Virginia swaIlowwort
If these flowers are examined any sun
ny day one will be pretty sure to find
them decorated with a miscellaneous
assortment of struggling or dead in
sects with their legs fast in the Sits
Of the peculiar blossoms. The pollen
of this common plant, instead of being
a powder, as in the case of most
plants, consists of sticky, waxen mass
es hidden within the blossom. When
visiting insect thrusts proboscis or
leg into the opening Of such flower
some Of these masses stick to 1t, and
the natural course Is for the insect to
fly of to another flower and fertilize
this with the adhering pollen.
All insects, however, are not strong
enough to extract their legs from the
sticky places, and then ensues the
slow torture Of hanging there until
death or a helping hand releases them
from misery. Besides being beautiful,
1t could be quite a useful plant If We
cared to develop its virtues. Thus its
milky juice contains caoutchouc;
brown sugar has been made from the
flowers; the silky hairs of the seeds
are serviceable in the manufacture of
textile fabrics, as cotton is, and fiber
Of good quality for repe-making may
be extracted from the stalk.

CHANGING A RAILROADS NAME.
It Involves a Tremendous Amount of
Labor, Painters and Printers.

It Involves Tremendous Amount of
Labor, Painters and Printers.
John Rattenburg, master painter of
for novel purpose. He is entering
upon the work of changing the name OF
the Great Rock Island Route to 1.-The
Rock Island SYSTEM" over the entire
property OF that company. At first
glance such an undertaking would not
seem SO very great, but only a mo-
ment's thought is necessary to see that
it will take long time to accomplish
the object and that the cost win be up
In the thousands.
When the railroad consisted of only
$50 miles of M-laid track, all running
in one State, the name of 1.-The Rock
Island Route" was adopted and for
many years served its purpose, bringing
fame to the little terminal point which
is now only station on the great sys-
tenn. But when that road grew into a
powerful organization, with 1000 miles
Of track, the name was not comprehen-
sive enough, and few weeks ago the
edict went forth that hereafter ''The
Rock Island System" would replace the
old trademark.
That little order meant that every
piece. of stationery In hundreds of Of
fees, window signs, literature, adver-
tising matter, box car names, and doz-
ems of other accessories of. the system
would have to undergo change as
soon as possible. The master painter
has only part of the work to do. He
must transform the name on the win
dows and doors of the offices and on
signs at stations and on the billboards.
The corporate trademark is made to
embrace all the various lines which
have recently come under the dominion
of the Rock Island, and the change was
made much of a necessity by the man
fold names which could be so much
more easily used under one title.-Den-

The cornering Of foodstuffs by mon.
archs and their agents is said to have
been the easiest form of trust that
ever existed and as they had the pow
er to prevent any bear movement in
opposition their deals could not help
being successful ones. Accounts of
such transactions are to be found in
Assyrian records dating back 1000 or
5000 years, and the Bible describes a
very large operation of this kind car
ried out by Joseph, when, out of the
wealth of the seven fat years, he pro-
vided for the poverty of the seven
lean ones. The Romans did the same
thing through their tax farmers, who
laid embargoes on the food supplies
of the provinces against arrears of tax
es, and the probability Is that similar
operations were also conducted with
regard to manufacturers.
Another form of monopolies, known
as trade guilds, has existed from very
early times, and these in the middle
ages, amounted practically to the cor
nering Of certain arts and industries
as well as means Of distribution. The
greatest of them was the famous
league of the Hanse towns. So close
a combine" was this that it possessed
its own fleets Of armed merchantmen
and even armies Of mercenaries in Or
der to guard its monopoly.

There is a considerable trade in live
quails from Messina, Sicily, to England
The birds are caught in the neighbor'
hood of the port. They are kept from
three to four days in Messina in cages
before being shipped, are fed on hemp
seed and ground corn and are watered
freely every day. 1t Is estimated that
from 10000 to 100000 are caught an
nually. The manner in which they are
caught Is with running nooses and
traps, and in Messina they fetch from
shipped in cages from Messina to Ge-
noa, whence they are sent by rail to
England.
| A recent writer, describing a pet par
rot, says: "He was, like all good par
rots, wonderful mimic, and among
other diversions he used to initiate to
perfection the voice and tone of my
wife calling to the cook. This led one
day to an unexpected result. My wife,
in the middle of writing letter, sud
denly remembered an order that she
had omitted to give, and since, as usual
on a hot day, the communicating doors
| were open, she called, without moving
from her chair, Elizabeth! To which
| came the startling answer from the
cook: Shut up, you old fool! Where
upon the parrot danced with JOY"
The ornithorhynchus, or duck-billed
platypus, combines the attributes of
two Of the great orders of the animal
world-those of the mammalia and
aves. Like the bird, it matches its
young from the egg. At the same time
the female is provided with teats, like
other viviparous animals, whereby she
is enabled to suckle her young when the
latter have arrived at sufficient maturi-
ty, for which purpose the tongue of the
infant platypus is pushed to the front
Of the beak. AS 1t is an inhabitant of
Australasia, it Is not surprising that an
examination of the skeleton reveals the
presence of two short bones, which in
the higher organized marsupials serve
to support the pouch. The duck-bill Is
purely nocturnal in it's habits and is pro-
vided with cheek-pouches wherein to
store its food for consumption at leis-
shading to light brown on the abdomen,
and the fore feet are webbed beyond
the claws, which web the animal folds
back when burrowing, at which it Is
most expert. The hind legs Of the male
are armed with spur, which is per-
forated and connected with poisonous
gland. The beak-which, of course, Is
the most extraordinary feature of this
creature-is after death like a piece Of
old leather. but In life is very sensitive
and reddish at the tip. 1t is furnished,
In lieu of teeth, with four transverse
plates, with which the animal crushes
the small mollusks forming the main
portion of its diet.

Physicians in Peru.

Some of the young medicos of this
city who have just graduated might
get rich in hurry by setting up In
business In Peru or some other of the
South American countries. United
States Consul Charles V. Herdliska, of
Callao, Peru, has just written letter
to the State Department IN which he
states that the people, both of that
country and Bolivia, ''have great faith
in American physicians and surgeons
on account of the advanced state of
medical science in this country"
He also states that the American
physicians now in Lima and Callao
are doing far better than they could
possibly expect at home. and that 'be-
fore a physician can enter upon the
practice Of his profession in Peru he
must pass state examination upon
medicine, conducted in the Spanish
language.
