Danger From Postage Stamps.
Posfo,, Herald

The London Lancet has an article in regard
to the danger of moistening postage stamps
with the lips or tongue. 1t says that, when
one considers how postage stamps are ham
died and how they are left lying about in all
sorts of places, there must always be danger
of infection from septic matter, so long as the
habit of licking them is persisted in. The
Lancet claims that cases of blood poisoning
have been directly traced to this practice, and
the fact, therefore, that the postal authorities
do all in their power to protect the public by
the materials used in the stamps does not do
away with one of the greatest sources of dam
ger to those who insist on Eoisteaing stamps
with their tongues.

Unique Phenomenon.--Carroll Station
was the scene of unique phenomenon at 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when residents
were alarmed by the proportions and duration
of whirlwind, says the Baltimore american
of Monday. A veritable pillar of cloud was
formed by dust and dirt drawn up. and this,
with a diameter of about 10 feet, rose to q
height of fully 200 feet it was said by Post
master Askey, who was among the many eye
witnesses. The scene of the unusually pro-
nounced atmospheric disturbance was the
Maden's Choice road, near the Frederick turn
pike. Mr.. Askey timed the phenomenon and
found that it continued in practically the same
spot for little more than nine minutes. Vari-
Gus emotions were produced among those who
noted the occurrence, while the excitement
was general.

Eklo, 9th District-The weather at present
is all that could be desired and farmers are
taking advantage of it. The pillow has been
started to turn over the sod for spring planting.
Everywhere may be seen the busy housewife
experimenting the making of garden and the
planting of early seeds. Work is plentiful but
laborers are few. The question of securing
farm hands is one that is giving our farmers
great deal of concern.
1t seems that the boy, as soon as he passes
out of the public school, gravitates toward the
large cities, or to the places of public works,
claiming that he can get better wages and more
steady employment. One of the draw backs
to farm labor is the long day, or the greater
number of hours employed. 1t is claimed by
those who have made the subject of labor
study that our day of "a hours should be divi-
ded into three equal periods, of which one
should be devoted to Sleep one to labor and
the other to recreation and improvement of the
mind. There is one fact of which we are
firmly impressed and that is that the best re-
suits, both mentally and physically, do not
come from too long an application of the
powers to special work. This is exhausting
and the sooner the farmer becomes thus i'm
pressed the better will be his chances to secure
the required help to do his work.
A notable case was before Squire Copenha-
yer last Saturday. Mr.Frank Hoshall brought
suit against Mr.. Harvey Bosley charging him
with poisoning two dogs and goose. The es-
innate put upon the dogs was 500, and the
goose 81. IhlS, suppose, Mr.. b. thought was
rather exorbitant and so he choose the alterna-
tive of being escorted by Constable Gemmill
to Towson and boarding with Sheriff Oegrath
for while. [Bosley has been released on 5000
bail MIA. A. Piper becoming his surety. EDS
The real estate of Mr.. Israel Justice, situated
near Shamburg, was sold on Tuesday for ST.
500 to Mr.. John W. Miller
Mr.. Charles Kroh has moved into Sheriff
Oeligrath's house, at this place.
Mr. Wesley Alban has rented the John E.
Bull farm, which was purchased by Sheriff
Oeligrath a short time ago.
Mr.. Daniel I. Palmer, who lived near Wal
kers Station N. G. R. R., was found dead in his
chair on Thursday morning, Goth instant. He
was caring for his aged mother, who is con-
fined to her bed by sicknes. Through the eff
forts Of Mr.. F. B. Kidd enough money was
raised to give him decent burial, as the fami-
ly is in INDECENT circumstances.
Rev. ]. w. Fleming preached his last SER
mon before conference, at this place, last Sun
day morning. 1t is expected that he will be
returned this is his first year on the circuit.
Easter services will be held in the NJ E.
Church here next Sunday night.
The wareroom attached to the dwelling of
Mr.. /. Benton Hoshall, near this place, was en-
tered one night last week and four pieces of
meat carried off. The thief or thieves did not
leave their address so that in the future, when
more is needed, it will be impossible to supply
them and they will be under the painful ne
cessty of calling again. But word of eau
tion-Beware of warm reception. s.

Examining Cattle for Tuberculosis.-Dr.
Herbert s. Adams, of Catonsville, one of the
State cattle inspectors, last Saturday examined
ever 300 head of dairy cattle in the neighbor-
hood of Owings' Mills, in Baltimore county,
says the Baltimore Herald. DR.. Adams said
that he found larger percentage of tubercu-
losis existing among the cattle this spring than
he did last year at this time, and he ascribed
the cause principally to the severe winter just
passed, when the disease was developed by the
colds that the cattle were subject to. One herd
of cattle that DR.. Adams inspected Saturday
contained dozen head, and of that number
five were suffering with the worst form Of
tuberculosis, and the others were more or less
affected. He ordered the shipment of milk
from the herd to Baltimore stopped, and the
health authorities were notified. They will
make an inspection. DR.. Adams said that a
noticeable feature in the dairy business this
spring is the small quantity of the milk pro-
duced. This is caused, he said, by the high
price of mill feed and other milk producing
foods.

Removal of Stone-Crusher.-An 18th
district correspondent writes to THE UNION as
follows: 1.-The stone-crusher was removed from
the old Belair road this week, before the road
was finished being macadamized. The resi-
dents along the road hauled the stone gratis,
the County Commissioners agreeing to crush
and apply them. Last year the Commission
ers abandoned their part of the work, leaving
a large quantity of the stone piled up and not
crushed Why should not the Commission
ers carry out their agreement when the tax
payers along this road are compelled annually
to pay their taxes 2"

To be Accepted as County Road.-On
Wednesday the County Commissioners decided
to acquire the bed of Garrison Forest road, in
the Sd district. This road, which is over 100
years old, is public but not a county road.
1t is very much narrower in some places than
the width required for county roads, which is
80 feet. Ordinarily this would present ques-
ton of some difficulty, but the Board decided
to advertise its intention of taking the road,
the center and lay off the road Is feet on
either side. The plans for the improvement
were submitted by Roads Engineer W. w.
Crosby. Col. MCLEAN, county surveyor, said
that he had failed to find any record Of the
Garrison Forest road ever having been made
public road, although it had been so used as
such for the past century.
