Since Governor Warfield has become
a resident of Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county he is jealous of all
rights and privileges which he is en-

CATCHING" COLD.
WHY SOME PEOPLE TAKE COLD so
EASILY IN THE FALL.

A person doesn't take cold unless the
vital power of the system is lowered.
In the fall, with the changing weather,
people whose blood has been overheated
during the summer are in weak condi-
ton and easily "catch" cold.
Father Johns Medicine cures the
cold by increasing the vitality. 1t forii-
fies the system against future attacks.
throat and lung troubles, pneumonia and
consumption. Take it after any exposure
and you viii never have a, cold.
This remedy, prescribed by a doctor
OF the highest standing and eminence in
his profession, for the late Rev. Father
John o Brien, fifty years ago. by whom
it was recommended and from whom il
derived its name, is not a patent medi-
cine; neither does it contain opium, NOR
phine or any Of the poisonous drugs
found in over oS per cent. of the patent
medicines and cough balsams.
1t cures the cold and builds you up
at the same time because it is nourish-
ment for the blood and nerves prevents

Vegetable Rock Builders.

The vegetable rock builders are found
in the oeze which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom of
the sea. AS shown by the microscope,
they are seen to consist of zigZag links
or boxes. attached at their corners.
These vegetable forms. so minute as to
be invisible to the human eye. have
the power of secreting the elements
of flint or silica from the water in
which they live. They are very Curl
ously marked. and there are many va
rieties of them. 1t will be seen that in
their structure the lines of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city of Ber-
lin was built Oh an immense bed of the
forms. and the unstable foundations of
the houses is due to this fact. They
are so small that one Of them is but
the seventy millionth part of a grain.
They increase by subdivision, one be-
ing capable of increasing to million
by this process in twenty-four hours.
Their method of building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
finty skeletons to form the solid rock.
They block UP rivers, give the green
tinge to the Arctic ocean, form white
stone which has been found in masses
500 miles long and 500 feet thick. and
the clouds of dust which are blown
from the desert are made up of them.

The Abacus In Japan.

The Japanese shopkeepers use the
abacus or soroban. so universally that
the stranger quickly comes to realiz-
ing sense of the absence of all mental
calculation in the empire. In lieu Of
paper and pencil any child or adult
will Mt once take up the soroban when
given Il problem in mathematics and
rattle its beads about as though he
were amusing himself. The principle
Of the little instrument Is this: Each
of the five beads in the broad lower
division of the board represents one
unit, and each solitary bead in the mar
row upper division represents five
units Each vertical column is thus
worth ten units. Each vertical column
represents units ten times greater than
those in the column Immediately to the
right Of it. exactly as in our own sys-
TEN of notation by means Of the Ara
bic numerals. ANY sum in arithmetic
can be done on the soroban. even to
the extraction of square and cubic
roots.

"NEPPON BANz AL"

Kamimura's chance came at last
and the broken remnants OF the Vladi-
yostok .luadron are at the bottom OF
the sea or scattered and hopeless along
Size Korean coast. Five hours the bat
tie ragged Ii, the straits of Korea, and
when il. was finished, the Iturik, a first
class armored cruiser, had been sunk
and the Gromboi and Ros.sia had fed.
The vladivostok squadron has been eS-
ploded like bomb shell. The Japanese
fleet reports little damage.
1t was Russias last hope of sea SUI
premacy on the east Asiatie coast. Her
naval power is broken. With her south
ern fleet bottled at Port Arthur, the
y1adivostok squadron by its daring
dash south brought hope to the Rus
sian heart. The failure OF the naval
sortie at Port Arthur and the demoli-
ton of the yladivostok squadron seems
to doom the Russian ascendency in the
east. Japan is mistress Of the seas and
warden of the coast.
Russia's eastern navy LES beneath
the waves or hunted and painting in
neutral ports under the whtchful guns
of Japan or awaits destruction at Port
Arthur. There is no escape for the
Russian navy nor any hope of succor
for Port Arthur The Baltic fleet is
two months distance from the kor-
can waters and Japanese shells are
falling on Port Arthur's streets. while
a victorious army presses inward day
by day. The destruction OF the vladi-
yostol squadron and the FALL of Rus
sias s.es test citidel are contemporary
eous.
The destruction Of Russia's fleet and
the fall of Port Arthur should forecast
a sudden close Of the war. With Japan
intrenched along the sea lire and COM
the sea with her fleets there is
nothing left for Russia but a protract-
ed defence Of the Trans-Si berian road
While she recruits and brings to the
frcnt new army. Doubtless other
nations with eyes on eastern commerce
will urge their good offices to bring
about settlement rather than suffer
disturtanc. of their trade while the
fighting nations exhaust themselves of
n,n am money. And Russia will do
well to listen to offers OF mediation.

New York Glohe.I
We've mentioned Uncle Fairbank'
views,
And Cousin Ted's ability
To cope with Brother Atoms thews
And muscular agility;
Come, let us pause moment. pray.
And look at Grandpa Gassaway.
Not long ago. it seems to me,
Old age was picked for pottering,
To sit beneath some village tree
A senile wreck and tottering;
But who has got the nerve TO say
"Sit down." to Grandpa Gassaway?
When Teddy wrestes with bear,
There's Grandpa also struggleing;
When Alton throws hoe in air,
1t sets your Grandpa juggleng:
For rheumatic can nowise stay
The pranks of Grandpa Gassaway.
When Alton climbs an Issue dank.
There's Grandpa also clambering:
When Alton nails broken plank.
Then Grandpa gets to hammering,
And smokers Takes a right long day
To beat your Grandpa Gassaway!"
Oh, what hope to some of us,
Whose locks are getting thinnish-
like.
1t were a shame at age to fuss,
AS though we saw our finish-like;
For we may live to be some day
AS young as Grandpa Gassaway!
