1t would seem that an exchange of
confidence between prospective hus-
bands and wives would be an ad-
vantage. A few little personal peou-
liarities would be disclosed, but they
might result in sparing one party or
the other to the marriage contract
such troubles and forebodings as were
a groom's in Chicago. He missed his
wife after they had retired, and a
search of the hotel failed to discover
her. When the light of morning came
it revealed her lying on the fire es-
cape, in a very precarious position.
She had not told him that she walk
ed in her sleep.

gravemen reply. They have their
graves and they lie in them.
1t is the back to nature" cure that
the invalids of the colony are seeking
Many of them declare they are finding
it. Happy and content in the conscious
ness Of returning health, they give no
heed to the jeers of visitors. if any
visitors are so inclined. 1t is enough
for the patients to know that they
are getting we'll.
Most gruesome of all connected with
the back to nature" cure is the pre-
mature grave habit. Some of the pa
tients can never quite yield. They have
no desire to rehearse their own OBJ
sequies, so they simply sleep on the
ground, but those who follow reli-
giously the advice of the leader of
this cult dig shallow graves and sleep
in them. AS innocent of clothing, too,
as when they came into the world do
these people. who have exhausted the
wisdom of the orthodox physicians in
their efforts to gain health, draw the
earth of their marrow house" about
them and lie down to pleasant slum>
bers.
Upon the electricity Of the earth and
it's subtle strengthening power the
patients of DR.. Lauterwasser, him
self devoted to the teachings of Adolf
Just of Germany, rely for cure. They
seek to aid this electricity by living
as nearly as possible in the natural
state TbaW nn1lotbn1 thair
food is the food of the wild things of
the forest. Upon fruits and nuts they
live, and they will eat nothing that
has been cooked. All this, however,
is subsidiary. To the electricity of
the earth is accorded chief place for
rheumatism and bone and muscular
diseases, dabs of wet mud applied to
the parts affected, are esteemed of
much virtue.
Many an old negro uncle" and
"aunty" of the South could tell DR..
Lauterwasser that he need not have
sought the teachings of Adolf Just to
learn that there is efficacy in ante
norton interments. We have heard
these old representatives of a type that
is fast disappearing tell their stories
of rheumatism-racked frames having
been stripped of clothing and buried
in the ground, with but the heads left
in the air. Visits to the Morris coun-
ty graveyard are said to furnish ocular
proof of the wisdom of the old dark
les of the South in their earth cure.

1t was long before the French
farmer could be convinced that by the
use of up-to-date methods of tilling
the soil and harvesting the crops, the
products of his land could be ma
terially increased. This change of ideas,
in a great measure, is being accom-
plished by the excellent educational
work of the French agricultural schools
and by the practical demonstrations of
modern farming made in the national
and departmental farms.
In the matter of wagons and car

Fair name, honor and integrity
Any project, or enterprise, therefore,
that benefits Baltimore. Indirectly bene-

honors one, directly reflects credit upon
the other.
a laudable movement is on foot in that
city, to have it selected as the place of
meeting OF the great National COnven-
lions that will assemble next year.
The counties. and the county press.
should cordially aid and second the
movement. by calling public attention to
