facts and Observations

The writer spent Thursday and
Friday in Bath. At the Hamilton
Stock Farm we saw fodder
shredder in operation. The ma
chine is run by a gasoline engine
and cuts as fast as a man can feed.
About % acres will be put in one
barn. Mr.. Hamilton said that the
cattle eat everything thus saving
the stalk which as usually fed is
lost.
Farmers are busy with tobacco.
They expect prices to 90 higher.
Already they are realizing better
prices, and expect the Society of
Equity to bring to them a fair re-
turn for their crops.
There are many chickens but few
eggs. The latter are worth 26 to
Csc per dozen. A lady told me
she sells eggs at 2Sc. What a
bonanza as compared with sac and
Toe, IF the hens will only be
faithful.
The latch string is always out
for us at the hospitable home of
Jas. r. Shrout and wife. We
pulled IT, and had a very pleasant
stay. We sat up later than usual
(for them.) The writer was in
bed before o'clock. Mr.. Shrout
said 7is usna. -as is about
o'clock. That-suggests: Early to
bed, learly to rise etc.
WE spent the day in and around
Shahpsburg. We heard unfavor-
abl4 comments about the Mt.
Sterling whislkey traffic. We with
ha|ny people there wish that Mt,
Sterling were rid of such re-
Iplsoach. Some, business firms here
May think that the country people
do not notice their advocacy of
sIhch a shameful business. The
time will come when the whole
business will 90, then men will
wonder why they were ever such
Isimpletons as to vote for or apollo
| gize for the open saloon.
! Conditions in Sharpsburg are
, much improved since their SALOONS
were closed, and they would be
more so if Mt. Sterling were dry.
To us it seems that money out
weighs character, self respect and
peace in the estimation of some
folks. We arrived at home in
time to attend the Bazaar.

The alarming frequency with
which white women are being IS
saulted by black brutes is causing
thoughtful citizens to turn their
attention toward devising some
practical plan or plans for the
protection of our women of the
country who are exposed 10 such
attacks. The rural police idea,
being generally agitated, was
commented on in our last issue.
Another plan which is meeting
with favor is to teach women
how to use firearms. And in this
connection a good suggestion. is
made by our esteemed fellow
townsman Capt. Sam'l e. White.
In the opinion Of CAPT. White
he art of handling and using fire
arms should be taught in Win
throp and other female colleges,
which could be easily done with.
out interference with the regular
course of studies. The ida is
eminently worthy of careful con.
sideration.

Psychic Longevity.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Apparently the Society for Psychicat Re
search confines itself to the phenomena or
spirtualsm and without valuable results,
while there are many other psychical prob
lens awaiting solution which are not so
difficult but of greater present and prac-
tfcal utility. One of these is the problem Of
insomnia. Almost any victim of this COM
plant knows that 1t is psychicai. That 49,

Psychical Research had worked as hard on

similar but far moro important over
sight Is the psychicai lengthen'ng and
shortening of time At first sight one
would say that nothing could be more
hopeless than an attempt to make an hour
ANYTHING but sixty minutes, and yet there
is no mental phenomenon more common Or
better recognized than the slow or rapid
flight of time. There are times when hours
pass like minutes, and other times when
we say that a few minutes seem like an
eternity The popular theory about 1t is
that time passes rapidly when 1t Is passed
pleasantly and slowly when II is passed
painfully This Is certainly true to a great
extent, and IL 1t were the whole truth the
inquiry into the psychicai shortening and
lengthening OF time would be of no value,
because we cannot at viii make our cir
cumstances agreeable, and there would be
nothing gained by making them disagree
able. The real inquiry is whether nothing
but pleasure shortens time and nothing
but pain lengthens 1t.
To this inquiry it is difficult to give
positive answer, but there are some phe-
nomena which initiate against the popu-
lar belief. For instance, it cannot be de-

The farmers wife has a new resource.
Her lot has been improved in many ways

delivery brings magazines and newspapers

American Wouldn't Be Robbed.

Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
An American tourist has been treating a
pickpocket of murderous prociivites to a
lesson which he will not soon forget. He
was walking along one of the outer boule-
wards an evening or two ago, and had
joined group which was watching a cine
matograph show at the facade of house
when he felt a hand playing with his waist
coat pocket and soon perceived that valu-
able watch had left him, in company with a
scarfpin and his purse.
He looked around, and. perceiving man
hurrying away fast as he could go,
started In pursuit, and was about to catch
the fellow by the collar when couple of
bullets whizzed past his ears. Undaunted
by this dangerous attack. the American
rushed on, and, evertaking the miscreant,
rendered him incapable OF further mischief
by welI-directed blow from his fist and
then gave him sound thrashing. This
done. he recovered possession of the stolen
articles and triumphantly committed the
pickpocket to the custody of some police
men who had now arrived on the spot.
AS the miscreant. who turns out to be
an old offender, was being led away his
captor quietly strolied back to have another
look at the cfnematograph, Just as IL MOTH
Ing unusual had happened. much to the
admiration OF the crowd which had watched
his plucky performance with hated breath.

HOUSE INTERIOR LIKE SHIP.
Owner Says He Can Always Feel as if
He Was at Sea.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
One of the most originally constructed
houses In the United States Is owned and
occupied by Captain NJ P. Doullut presi-
dent of the Louisiana Navigation and Fish
cries Company, at Egania and North Peters
streets. Captain DoulIut states that he
built the house in which to end his days
and to suit himself.
He likes to feel that he Is aboard a ves-
sci even when he Is at home. and the In
terror is so constructed as to suggest this
at all times. The house overlooks the river
and the captains vessels land directly in
front when they are In port; From the
cupola the captain can stand and see the
lights of Canal street to the right and those
Of Chalmette to the left. x.
The plan of this house was originated by
Captain Douliut. Twice he tore I'm plans
and was not satisfied until he had made
them different from anything he had ever
seen. and he has travelled considerably. The
house was built by Captain Doullut and his
crew of boat builders, and one year was oc-
cupied IN Its construction. 1t cost about
5000. 49,
This house is 81 feet square. surrounded
| by an iron fence. with cement pavements.
The rooms resemble the interior of a shin:
there are port holes, companionways for
stairs, and the lower floor, in which is
located the store room, bears striking re-
5emblance to the hull or an cean-gotng
vessel The lower story IS of brick, the
upper of frame. The roof, of slate, is mod
eied after the Japanese style. The caves
and cornice are built directly from jana
ness patterns.
The house Is ceiled with pressed steel and
finished as deliberately as the saloon of a
ship. The cupola Is constructed exactly
like pilot house. and has windows ali
around If breeze is blowing the captain
Is sure to catclf 1t there. The gallery Is
continuous, and at any time the owner can
swing his hammock SO as to be In the
shade. Electric lights are used for iilumi-
mating. and everything Is situated so that
1t Is unnecessary to leave the house for
anything. even the cistern being located
on the gallery.
There Is an entrance to the yard ON
Egania street, but from North Peters It Is
necessary to climb to the top OF the 1evee
where one goes down walk built like
gang plank Captain Douiiut in satisfied that
no has house the like OF which cannot be
found anywhere in the state. and he takes
great pride In showing friends over 1t.
