VIII Quake.

Shore up your imagination with any old
Guesswork that you may have lying around
loose; prop up your courage and stiffen up
your nerves; there's going TO he an earth
quake within week or ten days of the
11th" of this month, according to Hicks.
Already the Hicks believers are advising
their friends to tent out during the danger
period, to remain carefully away from every
thing liable to topple over and to swing all
valuable bric.a brac in hammocks suspended
to firmly planted posts. 1t would probably
be safest to walk in the middle OF the street
at all times during the danger period; do not
eat too heartily as the seismic undulations
may then superinduce more perfect imta-
ton of NAL de mere: under no circumstances
permit lighted lamp; do not climb ladder;
do not sit on the fence; chain down all
wheeled vehicles; anchor the pump; sleep
with your body in line northwest to south
east as the waves here are usually at right
angles with that line, hence it win only roll
you, otherwise it might double you up and
break your frame; housewives should hang
up their carpets and get their fall shaking
done gratis; they should be prepared to find
their cream churned into butter at any MIN
ute politicians may expect tidal wave and
the entire population should rehearse "Rock
me to Sleep, mother"
Hicks doesn't precisely locate his SILVER
it may be reported from Martinique, Sicily
Java, Nicaragua, North or South America
but If during the period named there should
be quake, great will be god Pluto and
Hicks his prophet.

The Philadelphia School for Nurses In al
lance with the American National Red Cross
has undertaken TO train a sufficient number
of young women who shall be subject to the
call of the Red Cross or the government for
prompt nursing service in the event of ma
tional calamities or in case of war.
Coincident with this plan an effort will be
made to carry nursing skill and hospital
knowledge into small towns and rural dis
tricts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland, by taking some of their
young women and training them in this
science.
This will secure the requisite number of
nurses for Red Cross work.
II will give means Of livelihood to large
numbers of most excellent and deserving
young women who have but few opportuni-
ties, and at the same time it will benefit
thousands of homes by the spread of this
knowledge. Every village and township in
nearby States may ultimately be reached and
helped in this way.
The undertaking involves the expenditure
of large sums Of money, but wealthy and in
fluential men and women In the four states
named stand ready to carry the plan to irui-
ton.
One hundred thousand dollars has already
been guaranteed and more funds are assured
Any young woman who aspires to Red
Cross membership or to nursing service In
any capacity can get full information by adj
dressing The Philadelphia School for Nurses,
Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia, Pa.
The movement is designed especially to
benefit young women in small towns and
rural communities.

Fruit Farm superintendent.

Mr.. L. Roy Sigmund Of this place has been
engaged as superintendent OF an experiment
tai fruit farm, owned by Prof. NJ. u. Waite,
head of the Division OF Plants, Physiology
Pathology, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The farm lies between the two
Patuxen, rivers in Anne Arundel county; it
is yellow sand, formerly tobacco planta.
ton; growth of pine covered it and as this
is being removed, fruit trees are planted.
MIR. Sigmund is peculiarly adapted to the
work; he has been careful student in this
line and we shall be disappointed if we do
not hear further from the young man, as il
is an opportunity, of which we snail expect
10 find HIM taking prompt advantage. He
leaves on Tuesday next.

Reservoir Cleaned ,

There are few towns or cities that have a
water supply, the reservoir for which re-
ceives an annual emptying and cleaning.
Our High Run reservoir is constructed with
a large valve and discharge pipe through
which all the water in the reservoir can be
emp,icd. This is done annually and the en-
tire bottom thoroughly flushed and washed
out. While this is being done water Is con-
veyed to the main through an emergency
line of pipe which taps tic stream at point
above the reservoir, go that, although it re-
quires day to clean the reservoir, there is
no stoppage of the water supply. This work
was done on Wednesday of last week and SO
clean was the reservoir that there has been
no report of even cloudy water at the first
run after the reservoir filled.
The accumulation of sediment during the
year is very inconsderable, principally sand

Conceit is not an entirely worthless ad-
junct to the dong of anything well, but a
little knowledge, or willingness to agree
that you may learn something of others will
prove to be more valuable thing in the
