Treasurer Hadaway, of Kent coun-
ty, had an unusual experience last
week. A gentleman walked into the
office at Chestertown and deposited
$50, which he said was sent by a
gentleman living in the Second district,
who desired to pay it to ease his con-
science. The contributor stated that
prior to 1896 he had not been paying as
much taxes as he should have paid, and
wanted the county to get this money.
Since 1896, he said. his property was
assessed all right. The money will be
turned over to the use of the county.
1t is the first conscience money ever
paid to Kent county official.

ounces of boar's grease. one dram of
the ashes of burnt bees, one dram of
the ashes of Southern wood, one dram
of the juice of white lily root, one
dram of pure sweet almonds and six
drains Of pure musk, make an ointment
of these. and the day before the full
moon shave the place and annoint it
every day" Try it and report
