Recently Married Sailor Tells Of His
Wife and Her Apparel.
bluejaciet who has recently mar
ried gives the following description
of his bride and her apparel:
my wife is just as handsome a
craft as ever left millinery dry dock
Is clipper-built and with a figure-head
not often seen on small craft. Her
length of keel is five feet eight inches
and displaces twenty-seven cubic feet
of air, of light draught, which adds
to her speed in the ballroom, full in
the waist, spars trim.
'At the time we were spliced she
was newly rigged fore and aft with
standing riggings of lace ard flowers; !;
mainsail part silk. with forestaysail of
Valenciennes. Her frame was Of
the best steel covered with silk, with
whalebone stanchions
'This rigs ing is Intended for fair
weather cruising ST le has also set
of storm sails for rough weather, and
Is rigging out small set of canvas
for light squalls, which are liable to
occur in this latitude sooner or later.
II am told in running down the
street before the wind shls answers
the helm beautifully, and can turn
round in her own length if hand
somer craft passes her"

NEW WAY TO FIND NtAi'ER
electrical Device That OutIoes Witch
Hazel Wand.

Electricity has put the witch-hazel
wand and other methods of determin-
ing the presence of water under
ground out of business. Experts have
patented a little electrical device
which tells surely Of the proximity Of
water. When it's needle begins to
show vibrations it can be stated posi-
lively there is water beneath.
Officials of the geological survey
have become SO impressed with tAe
invention that they are giving it a
thorough test The new water detec-
tor is something like the selsmograph
used for determining earthquake dis
turbances.
BY it's vibrations the presence Of
subterranean streams is not only de-
termined but the volume and direction
Of the flow are also accurately re-
corded
This instrument will be Of great
value to the irrigator and farmer, as
It will enable him to drive his wells
where he will find water. Frequently
imm ense sums of money are expended
in drilling artesan wells, which after
being bored hundreds of feet are
found to be dry.
In tests made with the new elec.
trical device steel rods are driven d
short distance into the earth and at
tached to the machine. There is an
attachment something like the tele.
phone receiver by which the vibra-
lions are converted into sound waves.
The device will not work satisfactor
lily in regions where there are vol
canoes.
The officials of the geological sur
yey believe eventually the device can
be used to indicate the presence OF
OIL but the vibrations caused by oil
are not SO great as those set up by
water.

THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Miss Susan B. Anthony Talks Of Re.
sits Achieved.

s-Its Achieved.
Miss Susan B. Anthony, in an article
n Golfers Weekly on the achieve
nents of women. says: "The progress
education is SC marked and so we'll
understood as to need but little COM
nent. When. in 1851. Mrs. Stanton,
Lucy Stone and made a demand that
girls in the state of New York should
be permitted an opportunity for col,
.ege education, there was not even a
nigh school open to them in the whole
United States. Oberlin, Ohio, was the
only college they could enter, and
there were no preparatory schools to
lit them for that institution. At the
present time they are admitted to all
the state universities except those OF
Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana, and
to all the large universities of the
Middle and Western states. The re.
cent most unwarranted and retrcgres-
sive action of Chicago university in
'segregating' the women students
shows that the battle is not entirely
over, but the end is in sight. Miss
Anthony says that there are now
100000 women wage earners in this
country, and that the occupations in
which they engage are with few
exceptions the occupations of men.
Miss Anthony says: THE laws, taken
az whole are by no means exactly
just to women, but there is steady
tendency toward Justice and pract!.
c.Ally no retrogression."

PENSIONERS MAIL,

The Government has adopted the fol-
lowing regulations respecting pensioners
mail.
Pensioners and claimants for pensions
desiring the mail sent to cities or towns
having free mail delivery must give their
postoffice addresses by street and num-
Der, number of postofice box, rural free
delivery route or general delivery. as the
case may be. General delivery addresses
will be accepted only in case it be shown
that no such other address as above
specified is available. Addresses in care
of another person will not be accepted
for the transmission ofpension certificates
or ANYTHING of value or which might be
improperly or wrongfully made use of
by another person; nor will any COM
munication be mailed to a claimant for
pension for delivery at street and num-
Der or postoffice box address which is the
same as that of the attorney prosecuting
the claim"
The new rule is modification of the
old one, which was found to be so strict
as to be impracticable of enforcement in
some cases.

MIcHAELsvrLE, May 5.-Hurrah. for
our candidates list. 1t grows like wild
fire. The voters will have lot of weed.
ing to do when primary election day
comes around.
Thanks to kind Providence, nice
shower of rain fell on last Sunday night
1t was badly needed to make the garden
and tomato seed terminate and lay the
dust so that our drivers can enjoy this
exhilarating weather with more pleasure.
We are glad to know that DR.. Pearson
Chapman, who was stricken with
paralysis last week, is improving. We
hope lie will have many more years OF
life to cure and heal the sick at which he
is so good.
Mr. Harry kirby's field of wheat. which
was sowcd last Christmas, is up and
looking as well as that planted on the
first of October. This would seem to i'll
dictate that it does not matter whether
wheat is sown early or late as it will
get there all the same Jim Sank will re-
port the yield,when threshing time comes.
On account of the three saw mills we
have had in the Neck for the last three or
four years, havoc has been played with
our forests. We cannot get white oak
tree large enough to make shad plank.
1t has all gone into railroad bridges and
cross-ties. Nothing is left standing but
gum poles and dead chestnuts, except the
woods of Mr.. John s. Young, who has
not sold his and his head is level He
has some fine white oak trees in his
woods Perhaps it would be good
plan for Jim Sank to hook u nice log and
have i cut into skad plank before his
forest 700, is taken away. JIM SANK.

TO EXHIBIT AT THE COUNTY FAIRS.

Prof II. J. Patterson, director of the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, is preparing to place interesting ex-
hibts at the various county fairs through
out the State during the coming season.
In speaking of this work Prot. Patterson
said:
The full aim in preparing the station
exhibits for the county fairs will be to
make them of an educational character,
and while i'll the main they will show the
results of experiments, they will be sup
Elementary to as great an extent rs pos
sible toward the dissemination ofthe adj
vanced scientific kno Wedge ofagriculture
and exhibit the results of the application
of this knowledge in producing crops.
For instance, i'll making an exhibit of
corn, the fundamental principal surround
ing that plant will be brought out, and
all that is known about it. The exhibit
will show the plant in all stages of
growth, the grain. the flower, the roots,
the products made from it as they are
put on the market and used; the chemical
constitution as it relates tot its food value;
the soil as it is adapted to its culture and
the effects OF physical and chemical char
acteristics of the soil as they relateto the
growth and constitution of corn. The
fungus diseases that affect the crop and
the insects which attack it will be shown.
Fertilizers that are adapted to the
growth of the crop and the effects Of
temperature, rainfall, sunshine, humidity
and any other facts which have an in
fuence upon the production of the crop
will be brought out. Methods of i'm
provement by breeding and selection will
be dwelt upon.
"Such an exhibit will become n study
and will be worth the time and attention
of any man, woman or child interested in
knowing the best way to cultivate or
manufacture this cereal.
This idea will be developed with some
of our fruits and may be developed in
definitely and carried through with a
variety of products, and if properly pre-
pared, arranged and explained will be
worth more to the farming public than
all the big pumpkins and loads of pro-
ducts usually heapcd upon the tables at
the county agricultural fairs.
THE plan will be to have the station
exhibits placed in portable cases.
so that they can be preserved from year
to year and serve to interest and i'll
struct ag, icultural people for a generation
to come and always he available for
shipment to any part of the State where
its presence is desired

Don't Destroy Your Orchards.

The following bulletin has been issued
by the State Horticultural Department
Several cases have occurred recently
where fruit growers have taken the adj
vice of unknown or irresponsible agents
to destroy their orchards infested with
San lose scale or other insects or diseases,
the agent thus securing sale of trees for
new orchard at the expense of the
grower, who, with proper care, might
have saved his trees and made them
profitable for many years.
Local inspectors have been engaged in
various parts of Maryland to assist the
officers of the State horticultural Depart
ment i'll inspecting orchards for San Jose
Scale, peach yellows, etc, and they will
be given certificates showing their iden-
tity. This certificate can be seen bv any
person whom they visit These inspectors
are men of experience in horticulture and
are familiar with our injurious insects
and diseases, and are responsible to the
State Horticultural Department for their
actions. They can give necessary advice
to growers on horticultural subjects ard
may often assist them in spraying or
otherwise caring for their trees. Further
information on this subject, or anything
relating to horticultural work and in
furious insects or diseases may be obtain
ed by addressing the State Horticultural
Department. College Park, Maryland.
