The First Stove.

The most important Uses Of fire were
taught by fire itself. As the primitive
man stood near the flames of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow he
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overlook Il deer
and baked it he learned that fire might
be used to improve the quality of his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
a burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him q fire O1hi floor OF earth.
His dwelling filed with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for the
sake of the fires warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness Of the cook
ed meats. After q time q hole was
made in the roof of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The primi-
tive stove was the entire house, the
floor was the fireplace and the hole In
the roof was the chimney. The word
stove" originally meant "a heated
room" So that If we should say that
Mt first people lived In their stoves we
would say that which is literally true.

"EIan In the Street.

Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase in his Conduct of Life which
was published in 1860. In the first Sc
ries Of the "Greville Memoirs" under
date March 90, 1880, occurs the follow.
ing passage:
Then will come the question Of a
dissolution, which one side afFirms will
take place directly, and the other that
the king will not consent to it, know
ing, as the MAI in the street las we
call him at Newmarket always does,
the greatest secrets of kings and being
the confidant of their most hidden
thoughts"
1t would appear from this that the
expression was in common use among
racing men in 1S3O.-Notes and Que
ries.

The agent, to the establishment and nc
small amusement of ONE friends,
promptly offered to do SO, provided she
paid the first premium down. The
lady, still thinking to hoax him, ex-
pressed her willingness to do so, and
placed a shilling ON the table. The
agent quickly produced a proposal,
filled it in and obtained her signature
while those present were on the tiptoe
Of expectancy as to what was to fol
low.
Now, madam, with your permission,

"Certainly,' she replied, at the same
time pointing to a glass ease which
contained the stuffed remains of the
poor defunct cat.
A chorus Of derisive laughter burst
from all present, but to their dismay
the agent turned, bowed politely, at the
same time picking up the shilling, and
exclaimed:
When that cat dies, madam, kindly
call at our office and claim the insur-
money. Good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Practical DiagnOstic Sign Of Death

Or. Oft Of Lillebonne Through Jour
nal DIES sciences meGicales de Lille
suggests the following practical and
simple method Of ascertaining whether
or not life is present: The point select
ed is the forearm, which is quickly &C.
cessible, is free from hair and is easily
exposed. The arm is extended horizon
tally from the body and the forearm
%pronated. If the test is made in the
open air a cloak Is held so as to shield
the part from all motion Of the atmOs-
phere. The flame of q candle is now
directly applied to a spot on the fore
arm. which is closely watched by the
observer. At the end of q few seconds
a swelling rapidly forms and bursts.
If it contains air or gas the tissues are
lifeless. If it contains liquid or exuda-
ton life is present.

We never tire of the drama Of sun

into the west a quarter of an hour be-

what new picture will be painted there,

new dissolving views. Every day a
new picture is painted and framed,
held up for half an hour in such lights
as the great artist chooses and then
withdrawn and the curtain falls. The

AGRICULTURAL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
First to be Oh the Peninsula is at Calvert
Over ia Cecil County Maryland.

Educators are watching with consid-
cradle interest the introduction of
county agricultural high schools where
farmers boys and girls can receive
training that will have a more direct
bearing on agricultural persuits. Del
aware has not started one yet but o, er
in Cecil County Maryland the first
experiment has been tried. NThis.
school is situated at Calvert and has
the endorsement of leading educators
of all parts of the county and state.
The success of this school will be
watched from many parts of the coun-
try. Wisconsin has three successful
county agricultural high schools.
New York requires agriculture taught
in the State normal schools. Mis-
souri, also requires agriculture to be
taught in the public schools. Georgia
spends $4,000 year in each Congress
ional district to help in the teaching
of agriculture in its common schools.
Maryland is not slow in realizing the
needs of the farmer boy and girl, and
now comes forward with a county
agricultural high school in the rich
farming section of Cecil county.

HERvEY P. HALL DEMOCRAT, MAKES A GOOD RUN
AND HOLDS BAees' MAJORITY TO SEVEN VOTES
Voters Were at the Polls Early and the Election Was Marked

Corruption Fund--Quiet Election Day.

Duck Creek Hundred under the
leadership of Dr. t. G. Moore went
Republican yesterday by a safe ma
iority, electing William H. Baggs over
Hervey P. Hall for representative by
seven majority. DIR. L. Q. Moore who
ran for State Senator in the First
District comprising Duck Creek and
Little Greek, had plurality of 9
votes. The election was probably the
cleanest held in Duck Greek Hundred
for many years. Neither side it is
.ontended, spent money for votes and
''fioaters" stood around all day Won
dering why business was so dull. "
Voters turned out early in the day and
by the middle of the afternoon nearly
the full vote was polled. Several in
cidents that seemed to touch many
people was the consideration paid to
the sick and the invalids who were
taken to the polls in teams that they
might cast their ballot. In each case
they were given place at the head of a
line of thirty or forty voters. The
fight for representative was very close,
Hervey P. Hall, the popular Demo
cratic candidate, running ahead Of his
ticket. His friends attribute his de-
feat to the Prohibitionists who en-
dorsed w. H. Baggs despite the fact
that Mr.. Hall had promised to vote to
submit the question of Local Option to
the people. Another condition that
helped to defeat Hall was circular
issued Saturday evening from some
Democratic source (not endorsed by
Hall) against Baggs. This cost Hall
several complimentary votes. Over
in Kenton Hundred Gamaliel Garri-
son Republican won over r. HI.
Darrah, Democrat by a plurality
of 81 votes. In the Clayton end of the
district Darrah had majority while in
the Kenton end Garrison mad ma
jority of So. In Blackbird Hundred
Jack Wright, Democrat was defeated
by w. H. Stats by 6 votes. 1t was
an ideal election day in Duck Greek
Hundred and many citizens hope that
it is but the beginning of clean and
honest elections. The following II
