Some years ago an Englishman was
coming down the river Nile, in Egypt,
on a large boat loaded with grain, and
the birds came off from every village
ana ate the grain piled on the deck.
The Englishman asked the Egyptian
captain of the boat, "Who owns this
grain?" The Egyptian captain said,
L own it." Then the Englishman ask
ed, "Why let the birds eat up the
grain" The Egyptian asked the Eng
lishman, "WhO made the birds?" The
Englishman answered, God" The
Egyptian asked whether grain was a
food which God intended birds to eat.
The Englishman said It was. The
Egyptian said, Can the birds sow and
raise the grain for themselves? ?" The
Englishman said. 'They cannot" Then
said the Egyptian Let them eat God
has provided enough for both them and

origin Of .eRu1e britannia. y

It is a curious fact that Great Brit
ain owes "Rule, Britannia" to the sug-
gestiOn Of a prince who had few Eng
lish sympathies and no love Of the sea.
Frederick, prince Of Wales, when re-
siding at Clifden House wished to
have a mask performance there on
the 1st of August, 1740, to commend
rate the accession Of George I. and the
birthday Of Princess Augusta. The
prince commissioned Thomson to write
something for the occasion, and the
words of "Rule. Britannia" were the
result. DIT. Arne set them to the IA
miliar air, which became so popular
that Handel used the opening bars in
his Occasional Oratorio," 1746, TO the
words, "War shall cease, welcome
peace" In 1851 Mallet produced a
new version Of the words, improved"
BY Lord Bolingbrol1e, who substituted
dlree stanzas Of his own for the fourth,
hfth and sixth Of the original. OF this
tnutilation Sir George Grove says, at
failed, as 1t deserved to fail"

Hung By Her Hair.

FRosrBURG, Md, December l2.--Frostburg
this morning was the scene of the fourth bold
crime in less than three days. Before day
break, while Mrs. William Gerlach, of East
Washington street, was preparing breakfast
for her husband, who had not yet risen, two
men entered the kitchen. One seized Mrs.
Gerlach by the throat, and holding butcher
knife over her, demanded money, saying he
would cut her throat. She declared she did
not have any money, whereupon the other
man struck her vicious blow, Telling her to
the floor. She is active, and regainng her
feet, she attempted 10 defend herself, but was
knocked down again.
The men made hurried search, but found
no money A passing teamster saw them flee
from the house.
Mr.. Gerlach heard the commotion, and,
after dressing investigated, to find his wife
unconscious, with her hair wrapped around
the water spigot and her body in the sink.
She had been hung by the hair as last resort
to make her produce money for her torment
ors. Mrs Gerlach was unconscious for some
time. Gerlach is a miner.
The outbreak of crime here has caused great
concern. 1t is said that the country is overrun
by tramps, to whom most of the lawlessness
ia aScribed.

Agriculturists Visit Mr.. Council
mans Farm at Glyndon, Md.

DIR. B. 7. Galloway, chief of the bureau of
plant industry of the Agricultural Department,
and Prof. W. J. Spillman, of the same office
and in charge of the office of farm manage
ment of Washington, D. c., accompanied by
N. E. Foard, of Baltimore, spent last Tuesday
afternoon on the farm Of Charles A. Council
man, of Glyndon, Md.
This visit by officials of the Agricultural
Department is one of number made in watch
ing the progress of experiments conducted by
Mr. Councilman. A large dairy herd is being
kept on an all-home grown ration, consisting
of corn and cowpea ensiIage and good alfalfa
hay. The results have SO far proved satlstac-
tory, and high grade of milk is being pro
duced at cost much below that of feeding
purchased mill feeds. The care of the large
numbers of hogs and the methods of feeding
them were of special interest in the work OF
farm management
Mr.. Councilman is perhaps the only farmer
in that part of the country feeding only pro-
ducts of his own farm. The measure of his
success is due largely to the immense crops OF
alfalfa raised, and he has been called the
"alfalfa king of the East.
Other visits will be made by members OF
the Department of Agriculture.

veloped in flames. Mrs. Croft was standing
at the sink when her daughter appeared, but
Immediately sank to the floor, dead, her entire
clothing having been burned from her body,
which was fearfuly burned. The burning oil
flew to all parts of the room and ignited the
carpet and furniture, but strange to say was
extinguished without damage to any extent
