LITTLE SERMONS-NO. 2
BY UNCLE JAY BEE.
Streams in the South.

These words Of David-I26th
Psalm are not understandable
without some knowledge of natural
phenomena in Central Africa.
Around the headwaters of the
great river Nile is a vast basin,
drained by different streams run.
ming ocean ward. During part of
the year there is here a "rainv
season." when there is a prodigi-
Gus rainfall all over this section.
In this way all the country is filled
up with water; the streams not be-
ing able to carry off the vast and
continuous precipitation.
Suddenly this rainfall ceases,
and the tropical sun beats down
with an intense energy. Not a
cloud may now be seen for weeks,
and the evaporation is copious as
was the precipitation awhile be-
fore, Presently, now, the strange
words in the 4th verse of this
Psalm have their explanation:
The waters flow backward. !"
The sun drinks up the great food
more rapidly than the rivers can
carry them off, and the streams
turn backward.
And here is a lesson for us.
Sometimes Gods showers of bless
ing comes in such vast profusion
as to lead us to think we must be
H eaven's favorites: blessings come
til literally we have not room TO
conta in. So we feel rich: we are
full and lay us down at ease, never
counting that other lands may be
thirsty, even perishing, and in
sore need of our superebundance.
Were we but concerned to open up
channels chicken by sloth, the
stagment stores around us would
flow out in blessings to others.
Jeshurun-like, we wax fat and
kick.
Now comes a reverse visitation.
His wrath is kindled to retribu.
ton; the heat of this anger con-
sumes Our plenty. Back to His
heavenly storehouses he calls his
tavors. the streams turn back
ward, and we are parched.

Rural Service Completed in Guernsey
County.

Mr.. a. F. George, special agent
of the Postofice Department, who
has been engaged in completing a
rural mail system for this county,
completed his work Tuesday and
left for Athens county to do SINH
lar service. Mr.. George commenc-
ed his work in February, but has
not worked continuously, having
attended to matters claiming his
attention in other localities at
several times. When his work is
accepted by the department, which
will be done, Guernsey county will
have a complete rural service. Mr..
George is a competent and indus
trious representative of the Gov
ernment and his work will be
found to be as near complete and
perfect as it is possible to make it
in a county like Guernsey. Mr..
George is a pleasant, courteous
gentleman and the postmasters
with whom he has had business
during his stay in the county be-
came very much attached to him.

THE TEACHERS TO LEND THEIR AID
In the Battle Which Maryland SCien-
lists Are Waging Against Con-
SUMPTION.

SAApllOns
The first definite appeal to the
school teachers Of Maryland to
JOIN IN the campaign of education
concerning the dread disease con-
sumption was made TO them at the
meeting Of State Teachers Asso-
citation at Blue Mountain House,
last week, when DR.. John S. Full
ton, secretary of the State Board of
Health, and during the absence in
Europe of DR.. Henry Barton
Jacobs the acting president of the
Maryland Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief of tuberculosis,
spoke to the educators of the state
and asked them to help to cut
down the death rate Of tuberculosis.
DR.. Fulton said in part:
tuberculosis bacillus is one of
the weakest in the whole category
of disease producing germs.
Hardly any disease germ is less fit
to live outside the animal body.
And yet it has fastened itself on
the animal world and become the
greatest among the cause Of un-
timely death. By sheer force of
numbers, the most insignificant
individual among mans enemies
has gained prominence.
The prevention of tuberculosis
depends, above all things, on the
enlightment of the people concern
ing nature and cause of the disease
and the simple means by which
it may be prevented. A large vol
untary association can bring about
an enlightened public opinion
much faster than any official
agency, and this is the reason for
the existence of the Maryland As
ISOLATION for the Prevention and
Relief Of tuberculosis.
The interest of teachers in the
problems of tuberculosis is no
greater than the interest of other
professional and business people,
but your interest in the subject is
different, and its difference makes
the tuberculosis problem one of
definite and practical concern to
you.
The seed is now sown for con-
symptoms harvest of death in the
next seven years. If we move
fast and intelligent1y enough we
can save a few of those now mark
ed for death in 1907 and 1908 a
few more if we stand idle, will
surely die Of tuberculosis in 1911
and 1912. The saving of these
people IS no particular concern of
yours, except so far as this COM
pany will have its share in that
roll of untimely death. The
people who are going to realize
the first material profit of this pop
ular campaign against tuberculosis
are your wards at this moment,
and they will escape the doom
now impending in proportions as
you know and can oppose the
dangers now surrounding them,
and in proportion as you can in
form their minds and their wills
to take care of themselves after
you are through with them"
The instruction of each teacher
IN the state, in the simple matters
necessary to the education of the
children of the state is now being
arranged for by State Superinten-
dent NJ. Bates Stevens, and the
county Superintendent. 1t is
probable that at least one peiod at
each county institute in Maryland,
this fall, will be devoted to dis
cussion of the subject of tubercu,

PAUL JONES ON
AMERICAN SOIL.
Remains in Temporary Vault at Naval
Academy.
FRENCH SAILORS TAKE PART
Coffin Landed With HOnOrs-All An
napOliS Looks Simple But SOL
emn CeremOnies-Tap Sounded
at the ClOSe-A round of Statutes.

Annapolis, July 25-John Paul
Jones, the hero of the American
Navy, now rests in the United
States Naval Academy reservation.
His body was placed to a tempo
rary vault yesterday morning, and
will be guarded day and night by
sentinels until it is removed to its
permanent abode in the crypt in
the new chapel, which will proba-
bly, be completed within one year.
Imposing ceremonies, impress
slve and at the same time specta-
cular, marked the second inter
ment of the famous sea fighter who
died in Paris on July IS, 1892,
and was buried in an obscure GEM
etery. The story of the Identified
ton of his remains last spring and
the subsequent event connected
with bringing them across the At
lantic with the great escort of war
ships has already been told.
1t was 1915 O'Clock yesterday
morning when the body reached
the American shore, although it
had been in American waters
since Saturday. 1t was re-
ceived by an escort of 1000
men, including officers and men of
Rear Admiral Sigsbee's and
Davis fleets and midshipmen and
marines from the Naval Academy.
Possibly haitian hour was consum-
ed in transferring it to the tempo
rary tombs, where brief service of
the Episcopal Church were read by
Rev. Henry Howard Clark, chap
lain of the Naval Academy. After
the body was placed in the vault
a company Of marines fired three
volleys over it and a bugler sound
ed taps.
All Annapolis that could get
away from business or domestic
duties witnessed the ceremonies.
Aside from the residents of the
town and of the Naval Academy,
a score or more of newspaper cor
respondents and an army of camera
fiends, there were few other spec
tators. Word had gone forh that
the exercises would be simple, and
that the ostentatious part of the
program would be carried out
when the removal is made to the
crypt in the chapel
All flags were at half-mast. This
applied to the warships and to
every launch and cutter or craft of
any kind that belonged to the
Government. Neither Governor
Warfeld nor any official of any
State was asked to take part, but
they may be invited for the final
obsequies.
The background of the picture
was white. All Of the officers of
the navy, the marines and sailors
were in white. The pretty women
of the residential and naval sets
wore white. Only three dashes of
color relieved the monotony. One
was in the uniforms Of the Naval
Academy Band, crimson coats, blue
trousers with broad red stripes,
and the other was in the uniforms
Of the French sailors from the
cruiser Jurien de la Graviere, who
wore light blue blouses, with white
Their caps and red top
Knots in the shapes of rosettes.
The other bit of color was in the
lag that covered the casket.
