MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC ED
ITORS ENDORSE AMEND
MENT.

That the Democratic party will have
the enthusiastic cooperation of the
pre- IS of the State in the coming fight
on the amendments was made an AS
sured fact at the special meeting Of the
Maryland Democratic Editors Associa
ton in Baltimore on Tuesday last.
With the greatest enthusiasm and the
most extraordinary unanimity, these
gentlemen of the rural press, adopted
the following resolution which puts
them on record as unquestionably IA
vorable IT, the adoption of the amend
M nts by the peope, and means also
that they will use all their efforts to
bring facts before their readers in the
mot plausible way;
1.-The Democra ic Editors Of Mary
land, acknowledging their alleGi-
ance to the platform adopted by
the state Democratic Convention
of 1903, and, in view of the
pledges made by the Democratic
candidates in the campaign of that
year and the legality of the pas
>age of the amendment ny the
Democratic Legislature Of 1904,
approved by the Court Of APP
peals of Maryland agrees to
waive any differences they may
have had as to the form and word
ing Of said amendment, and regard
their adoption as a drmption Of
the promise made to the pc PIE of
the State Therefore. be il re.olv-
ed that in the judgment of the
Associate II, the ratification of the
proposed amendment, known as
the Suffrage and Cool Roads
Am ndmrnts, respectively, is for
the best trrests of the Sta'e, and
that we cordially aad earne tly
recommend their rititi"atiou by
the people at the coming election
as the best means of obtaining
good highways and removing from
the registration lists the mass of
ignorant and corrupt negroe voters
that W cucumber them, and max
ing If the electorate of Maryland
what it should be, an intelligent
and COT scientious tody of men,
seeking only good government and
the resultant welfare of the peo-
pie"
1t is conceded that there is opposi-
ton to the amendments, hut much of
it is credited tn a Misunderstanding of
them. The Republicans will put up
vicious fight against their adoption,
but many of their own party are qui-
city for them. As the campaign pro-
gresses the people will become more
familiar with tie value of the suffrag-
and Will end 10y giving it
their hearty endorsement.

The TailOr's Argument.

In "Thrums" lived a merchant tailor
who ordered from friend, book
agent, a complete set of an encyclo-
pedia which was being published in
monthly parts. All went well till the
delivery of the last volume, which
proved to be about one-half larger
than any Of the others. Delivery was
refused on the ground that the vol
ume was not according to sample and
broke the uniformity Of the set. Mr..
Comrie Thompson was then acting
sheriff substitute for Forfarshire, and
the resulting case came before him.
The plaintiff stated his case, and Mr..
Thompson then advised the defendant
to take delivery, adding:
"Now, Mr.. -, don't be foolish. II
the book is larger, they don't propose
to charge you anything extra, and you
ought to consider you are having q
bargain"
"Well." pleaded the defendant, I'm
q tailor, and If your lordship were to-
order a coat from me, and l quoted al
price and afterward delivered the coat
a half size bigger than you wanted it,
you would, have no doubt. refuse de-
livery. And l might then say: Don't
be foolish, sheriff. The coat, it's true,
Is much larger than you want, but the
cloth is the same, and l won't make
any extra charge. You ought to con-
slider you are having a bargain"
This rather tickled the court, which
expressed its appreciation of the point
somewhat noisily. Verdict for the
plaintiff. with costs.-London Tit-Bits

A curious story is told as to how the
Rothschilds supported Carafa, the COM
poser The latter was far from rich.
His principal income was derived from
a snuffbox. And this was the way of
it: The snuffbox was given to the au-
thor of LA Prison d'Edinbourgh" by
Baron James de Rothschild as token
Of esteem. Carafa sold it twenty-four
hours later for rs napoleons to the
same jeweler from whom it had been
bought. This became known to Roths-
child, who gave it again to the musi-
clan on the following year. The next
day it returned to the jewelers.. This
traffic continued till the death Of the
banker and longer still, for his sons
kept up the tradition, to the great sat
lsfaction of Carafa.

Probably no famous bird has a small.
er habitat than the bird of paradise,
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties of this beau
tiful bird are confined to the island of
New Guinea and the neighboring
coasts Of Australia. There are many
other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem to be equally
favorable to their existence, but they
are not found among them, and If we
should ever see a hunter Of the bird of
paradise we would know that he was
a native of New Guinea or the neigh
boring mainland of Australia or had
visited those regions.

Curious Flowers.
The Brazilian flower known as the
running antelope Is SO called because
its white petals have a series of well
defined, dark colored lines and dots
in which the imagination can readily
trace the form Of an antelope, with its
limbs outstretched and head thrown
back, seemingly fleeing for its life. In
the "caricature plant" one species has
the initiative form on the petals, and
shading of the leaves.
The last mentioned curiosity bears
a remarkably well executed likeness
of the Duke of Wellington and has ON
that account been named Arthur and
His Nose" Among the orchids the
initiative form is entirely different IN
character, being exhibited in the shape
of the flower itself. Some are exact
counterfeits of bees, butterflies, moths.
etc, while others take upon them
selves the form of worms and beetles.
Naturalists believe that in the first in
stance it is natures trap to lure other
bees, moths and butterflies, but in the
case of the worm and the beetle, Or
chids or those that are the exact coun
terparts of toads, lizards and huge
spiders, they do not attempt to ex.

Mother Elephant and Her Baby.
A remarkably intelligent elephant
working a few years ago on a new
bridge in Ceylon had young one to
which she was devoted. 1t died, and
she became inconsolable.
Formerly the gentlest of creatures.
she grew irritable and even dangerous.
One morning she broke the chain
which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night about ten days after her
escape the officer who had been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at pond In a jungle at
some distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning early in the morning the ma.
tive silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way toward
the camp. They both sprang behind
trees, and when the elephants lad
passed the native insisted that the old
er one was their old friend the incon.
solable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned and
had gone from one person to another,
touching each with her trunk. as if ex-
hibiting her adopted child, which she
had evidently begged, borrowed or
stolen in her absence.

diameter, and hollow. In the hollow
space Mr.. Murphy found large
quantity of honey which was i'm a
good state of preservation as was the
tree-trunk. There was enough of it
to supply himself and neighbOrhOOd
for the winter. Prof E. J. Ferguson
says the honey has been there over
5000 years. He arrives at this esti-
mate by the depth of the deposit of
the soil over the log.

The skill of Mr.. Ferguson in deciding
on the age of the honey is quite ON a
par with that of some scientists in
giving the date of the death of the
gentleman who left his skull at the
bottom of drift unknown ages be-
fore Adam. The Indians have always

Bee Notes.

We find the following in Cleaning
in Bee Culture.
A month ago l gave clipping from
Cleveland paper setting forth as
wonders what bee-keepers have
practiced for many years. An eXpla-
nation was given, but the editor made
no reply. The same week, however,
the following appeared in the same
Journal 1t shows plainly that, after
a subject has been discussed a good
while in the parlOr, it finds its way
eventually to the servants hall. 1t
reads:

found i'm the jungles of India. IL rs an

inches to six inches thick.

above on the public. Just think of
cells two to three inches deep! What
the 'siX feet refers to is not known.
How much would such a comb weigh
when filled? What would hold or
support it!
Right on the track of the above
comes the following, which is too
good to lose:

Cooperation in Cattle Breeding.

The plan, recommended by the Indi-
ana Farmer would suit cattle men,
with small herds, in Florida
A good many farmers who have but
small herds are using grade bulls be-
cause they say they cannot afford
pure-bred ones. Why not do as neigh
bOrhOods do in draft horse breeding,
where good pure-bred stallion is
bought by several farmers joining i'm
the puchase? BY this kind of cO-Ope-
ration among farmers i'm purchase of
a prime pure-bred bull, a neighbOrhOOd
could soon grade up their common
cattle till they were worth nearly
double what they are now. In a few
years by such neighborly cooperation
the cattle could be put finished on the
market more per head, and grade
beef cattle would be grown and fatted
for the market with a large saving
of grain and food-stuffs when it is
remembered that such cattle could be
put finished on the market weighing
more at two to two and a half years
old than common cattle can be made
to weigh at three years old. Such
neighbOrhOOd bull would really be
mOney-maker for those who are now
using a grade sire. Such cooperate

where several persons join their CAPT

feaure of industry, but can be extend

A Simple Seed Tester.

A circular from the United States
Department of Agriculture describes
the simple method of testing seeds.
The circular states:
As long as seedmen disclaim any
form of guarantee with seeds they sell
it is necessary for the purchaser to
be able to estimate the quality of
what is offered. The percentage of
seed that will grow can easily be de-
termined by means of a simple tester.
Mix the seed thoroughly and count out
100 or 200 seeds just as they come,
making no selection. Put them be-
tween a fold of cotton flannel or some
similar cloth, taking care not to let
the seeds touch one another. Lay the
cloth on a plate, mOisten it well, but
do not saturate it, cover with another
plate and keep at a temperature OF
about 20 degrees f. On the second
and third days take out and count
the sprOuted seeds. Good seed should
germinate 90 per cent or more in three
days.

Helps for the Happy Home Life.

Each member of family, particu-
larly if he be advanced i'm years, has
little oddities, to which he attaches a
sort of happiness 1t is a garment
arranged in such a fashion. 1t is a
newspaper brought at such an hour.
1t is a lamp put i'm such a spot. 1t is
game played in such a place. 1t is
a visit expected at such a moment.
1t is a desire scarcely manifested, but
often experienced. Watch all these
little things. Take upon yourself to
visit every morning the corners where
they love to find everything that is
useful for the day. Go first to the
apartment where they all assemble;
remove everything which could dis
please them; complete all the arrange
ments which have been carelessly
made. Do all this without noise,
without parade. Enjoy alone the
happiness it gives you.
The angel of little sacrifices has re-
ceived from heaven the mission of
those angels of whom the prophet
speaks, who removed the stones from
the road lest they should bruise the
feet of travellers. There is some work
to be done, and she presents herself
for it, simply with the joyous man.

do good in secret? Who has known
how to divine the secrets of the heart?
No position is subject to more petty
