RETURNS HOME.

Mr.. Frank II. Grimm, the former
Maitinsburger who is now residing in
Keedysville, Md, who has been absent
from his home since last Sunday, when
he left on the excursion for Baltimore,
has returned to his home. There was
happy meeting with his wife, child
rem and father, all of whom had fear
ed that he had met with some accident.
His father seemed confident, when
he did not return, that he had met
with foul play. Grimm's ONLY excuse
for ms prolonged stay is that he re.
NAMED in Baltimore longer than he
expected viewing the ruins of the re-
cent fire.

Cement.


The difference between the two well
known varieties of cement, the Rosen-
dale and the Portland. lies in the fact
that the first named is u natural prod
uct and the latter an artificial. The
former is made by burning shady
limestone In kilns and grinding the
ciinker produced with bur stones to
q very fine powder, which. when mix
ed with water, soon sets and forms
an artificial stone nearly as hard as
the original rock. Portland cement
on the other hand, is made by COM,
btning chalk or some other form of
limestone free from magnesia with
siliceous clay. these materials being in
dmately mixed and made into bricks.
which are burned in kilns with coke
fuels at a very intense heat. The re-
sulting clinker is ground in the same
manner as natural cement and is much
stronger and sets quicker than the
other. M,

THE SEVEN WHiSTLERS.
A Ancient Superstition That Still
Exists In England.

A Ancient Superstition That stu
Exists In England. 80.
In some parts Of England peculiar
whistling or yelping noises are heard
In the air after dusk and early in the
morning before daylight during the
winter months. Sometimes, however,
the noise Is described as beautiful
sounds like music, high up in the air,
which gradually die away. The gen.
sral belief is that the "seven whis-
tiers" as they are called, are the fore
tellers of bad luck, disaster or death
TO some one in the locality. 1t is a
very ancient suggestion. Both swifts
and plovers have been suggested as
the "whistlers." 1t may be noted that
plovers are additionally supposed to
contain the souls of those who assisted
at the crucifxion and in consequence
were doomed to float in the air for
ever. Really, the ''whistlers" are wild
geon, or teal, as they fit from their
feeding grounds, passage always
