A member of the Capitol Com
mission has stated that a number
of furniture manufacturers would
submit bids to the Commission
within the next week to furnish
the House of Representatives
and the Senate and take chances
of the Legislature paying for the
same. It is reasonably certain
that the Legislature will not hesi-
tate to- pay for something for
their own comfort. The Commits
sion will probably award the con-
tract on this basis.

Improvement of Highways.

The Maryland Geological Survey is pre-
pairing for an unusually active season OF
work for the improvement Of highways
throughout the State In order that the
time of experts may be fully occupied Tor
the most profitable results, the road en-
gineer, Mr. A &. n. johnson, has recently
addressed to the commissioners of all the
counties of the State a circular letter re-
questing early communications from those
who expect to apply for the Survey as
sistance this year. The letter, explaining
in itself why it has been written, follows
For the past few years the Highway Di-
vision of the Maryland Geological Survey
has afforded the officials of the counties of
the State material assistance in the i'm
provement of the public roads. Estimates
of cost, plans and specifications for improve
ments have been drawn up for more than
half of the counties.
This work has steadily increased 50 that
during the past season 1t was necessary to
DELAY some Of the road construction until
late in the season. This would not have
occurred if the various boards of commlS-
siuners had sent their requests for eXaml-
nations surveys, estimates. etc, early IN
the season. 50 that everything could be
ready for construction in time to finish the
work before winter
The spring is the best to begin road
work. and in order for everything to be
ready it is necessary that the surveys be
made lust as soon as the weather permits,
Your board therefore Is urged to COM
municate at as early date as possible any
proposed improvements about which YOU
desire the aid Of this office II this Is not
done it NAV be found that owing to Prevl-
Gus requests received from other counties,
it will be necessary to delay your work 50

Reason for Male Preacher.
From the New YORK Times.

When the Rev Thomas X Beecher
pastor of the Park Church, Elmira, died
the difficult problem of filling his place
confronted the trustees of the church
The choice finally settled upon the Rev.
Annie Ford Eastman, one of the few
women who have made a success of the
calling.
An enthusiastic admirer took friend of
mis- to hear Mrs Eastman several Sundays
ago. At the conclusion of the sermon the
friend was asked how he liked it.
The sermon was all right, was the
reply ''but | hear woman preach SIX
DAYS in the week and on the seventh |

How to Boil Water.

To boil water would seem to be a very
simple thing, and yet the late Charles
Delmonieo used to say that very few peo-
pie knew how to do it, The secret is,
be said, ''in putting good fresh water into
a neat kettle, already quite warm, and
setting the water t boiling quickly, and
then taking it right off for use in tea, cof-
fee, or other drinks, before it is spoiled.
To let it steam and simmer and evaporate
until the good water is in the atmosphere,
and the lime and iron and dregs only left
in the kettle, is what makes a great many
people sick, and it is worse than no water
at all - Water boiled ike this, and
favored with few drops of lemon juice,
Mr.. Delmonieo often recommended to his
customers and friends who complained of
loss of appetite. 1t is worth trying.

OLD MEN NOT WANTED.

AS the field of employment becomes
more crowded, the chances for middle
aged and old men to get employment
become fewer. Notwithstanding the
fact that at so years of age most men
are in their prime, corporations are
averse to employing men of that age.
The Erie Railroad Company has just
issued an order that all members of its
clerical force over 35 years of age, en-
ployed since May, 1901. must send in
their designations within the next thir-
ty days. The purpose of this order is
to get rid of a number of elderly men
who have been appointed within the
general so as not to offend those whose
influence secured the appointment of
these objectonal men.
In future the Erie will not appoint
men over IS years of age to any posi-
ton, unless it be an advisory one. 1t
doesn't want a lot of old men to take
care of-men who have given but few
years of service to the road. The man
agement OF the road takes the position
that if a man hasn't made a success
in any business, occupation or profess
sion before he is 35, he isn't likely to
make a success in railroading.
The purpose OF the road is to employ
bright young men whose purpose is to
make railroading the occupation of
their lives. The road is willing to make
some provision for such men if old age
overtakes them while in its service, and
they have not accumulated a compe-
tency.
The Central of New York and the
its. They will not employ middle-aged
or old men unless it be for some special
work that will occupy but a COMPARE
lively short time. Their view is that
they can get far better service from
young men, and in these days OF fierce
manded. Besides, the roads want men
VINO can prepare themselves for pro-
motion. II is expected that they will
become familiar with railroad work
and, therefore, fitted to take higher po-
sitions. Middle-aged men are slow to
learn, and generally remain in posi-
lions to which they were first APP
pointed.
1t is evident that employment con-
ditions for old men are getting harder
all the time. They are not wanted in
any kind of business. A man of 55 or
90 years of age who fails in business,
or is thrown out of employment, is in
a very unfortunate position, particu-
larly if he is without means and has a
family dependent upon him. The ac-
ton of the great corporations relative
TO the age limit contains a warning
to young men who are inclined to be
eXtravagant and Indifferent to the in
terests of their employers.
