A pretty Wedding at Gray.

AT high noon Wednesday, Febru-
airy 20, Mr.. Vernace E. Gllley, of
Carrollton, was united in marriage
to Miss Edna Beers, the eldest
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Beers, the
Rev. A. l.. Golden performing the
ceremony. Miss Edna came to the
county with her parents in infancy,
and has been a resident of Gray from
then till the present. Her life has
been one Of perpetual sunshine in her
home, and not like some girls who
know little about domestic affairs,
she has applied herselfto those duties
with such a delight, and will TO
learn their intricacies, that she lie
fully qualified to handle all questions
pertaining to them. Her amiable man.
ners endear her to her many friends,
and will do so to her husband. Her un-
sullied character, like the Lily of the
Valley is pure as the flowers of the
garden, as the air we breathe. She
will reign the GODDESS of a happy
home. OF Mr.. Gilley can be said, he
is one of natures noble creatures, born
to make the life of his chosen friend,
companion, or wife, veritable para
disc of beauty, aud enchanting Joy.
Accept dear young people the good
will Of the Journal and never lose
sight of the Golden Rule.

There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or methodical about the man, and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient
He never knew where his papers We're
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was to
write on one of his bundles Of papers
which Uttered his desk, "When you
can't find it anywhere else, look in
this" But that was long after the firm
of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and
even then we find him explaining to a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it, which shows he
had not wholly outgrown the habit Of
his postoftice days. Indeed, his hat con-
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers as long as he lived, and he
never acquired any sense Of order

Moon Cure For Bald Heads.

The superstition in agricultural COM
munities that the phases Of the moon
affect the termination and growth of
seed has parallel in queer belief
that the moon also influences the
growth of hair on the head. Here is IN
old recipe. The baldheaded should take
two ounces of boars grease, one dram
Of the ashes Of burned bees, one dram
of the ashes Of southern wood, one
dram of the juice of a white lily root,
one dram of oil of sweet almonds and
six drains Of pure musk. Make an ONT
ment of these and the day before the
full moon shave the place and anoint it
every day."-New York Tribune.

A NUMEROUS WEAPON.
The Explosive Harpoon, the Whale
Hunters Chief Reliance.

The Explosive HarpOon, the Whale
Hunters Chief Reliance.
The explosive harpoon, which is the
modern whale hunters chief reliance,
Is truly murderous weapon, six feet
in length and strong in proportion,
made chiefly of malleable iron and ad-
mirably designed for the Staying Of the
immense creatures. Its most striking
feature next to the bomb head, which
is operated by time fuse and explodes
in the vitals of the whale, is the anchor
like device that prevents the harpoon
drawing" out of the body again under
the terrific strain of the wounded mon
ster's frantic efforts to free itself. This
consists of four hinged barbs, which
lie along the shaft before it is fired but
which are forced apart and imbed
themselves in the whales body after he
is hit, so that il the prize escapes,
which sometimes occurs, it is only by
breaking the rope.
When fish" are numerous and there
is chance Of killing more than one in
day novel method is adopted with
the first victim. When it is seen to be
dead hole is bored through its back
into it's stomach and air Is pumped into
it by pipe from the steamers engines
until it is inflated like great balloon
The orif1ce is then closed with wood
en- plug, and man is left alongside in
a small boat to establish ownership,
while the whaler steams off in quest Of
other prey. AS many as five whales
have been killed by a ship in one day,
four is not an unusual bag" and
threes and twos are commonly got. A
single ship killed twenty-five in week,
and the record years work for one is
25S, an amazing number when it is re-
membered that on stormy days it is inn
possible to cruise at all. as the sprays
bury the gun, and that during the win
ter months fishing is abandoned Dur
ing that period the whales "strike off,
the coast to escape the Ice foes, to
which the rorquals are not partial, be-
Ing In this respect unlike their arctic
congeners. whose habitat is now the re-
hottest section of Hudson bay and the
channels which strike north from its
farthest bounds into the polar sea it.

His Hat His Favorite Receptacle For
Letters and Panera.

Letters and Papers.
When Lincoln was postmaster of
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they We're addressed. AS this
is fair example Of his business sys-
TEN, 1t may readily be imagined that
the office of Stuart & Lincoln was not
a model establishment, where there
was place for everything and every
thing in its place. And it was not. In
deed, as a managing clerk the junior
partner would have been hopeless
failure, and as an attorney, in the
technical sense of the term, he would
never have distinguished himself. He
disliked everything connected with the
drudgery Of legal routine, hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas, despis
ed the artificialities and refinements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to

PROUD OF OUR COURT HOUSE,

1t makes us very proud to read all the
nice things that our neighboring counties
are saying about our new Court House.
In opposing an expense of $4,000 for
repairing the present one in Cecil county
and urging a more permanent improve
ment, the Cecil Democrat has the follow
ing to say:
Hartford county has just completed
the remodeling of the court house at Bel
Air, and the building now contains large
offices for the clerk, register of wills,
county commissioners, school commits
sioners, states attorney, sheriff, county
treasurer, election supervisors, main
courtroom, judges private room, grand
and petit jury rooms, witness rooms,
ladies retiring room, janitor's room. and
dormitory equipped with cots for juries
compelled to be out over night. Nearly
all the rooms have special closets and the
building is heated throughout by steam.
1t is roomy and complete in very par
ticular and a credit to the county, and to
visit it makes one realize that Cecil is
making a mistake in spending any more
money upon her old Court House when
it can never be converted into such a
building as the county badly needs"

GAMERS INVITE PUBLICITY.

The Tr-State Packers Association,
which has several members in Hartford,
held meeting in Wilmington, Delaware,
on Thursday of last week. 1t was pre-
sided over by Congressman w. o. Hof-
fecker, of Smyrna, Delaware. The prin-
cipal object of the meeting was the con-
sideration of the pure food side of the
question of canned goods. An address
on this subject was delivered by Frank
T. Gorrell, of Bel Air. This furnished suf-
ficient matter for discussion during the
different sessions. President Hotiecker
spoke on the same line, declaring that
the Gamers are in accord on all the pure
food legislation. The following resolu-
tions were unanimously passed:
The members of the Tri-State Packers
Association, in convention assembled, de-
sire to endorse the action of Congress in
passing the Pure Food law, and they
hereby pledge themselves to strictly conf
ply with its requirements; they believe
that its enactment will prove beneficial
in controverting the unfair statements
which have from time to time been pub
lished in the press of this country that
are calculated to bring into dlsrepute
their industry and create an unfounded
feeling that the canned fruits and vege
tables of this country are unhealthful
and harmful This Association, repre-
senting as it does two thirds of the total
output of canned tomatoes in the United
States and being also large producers OF
other canned foods, hereby desires to put
itself on record as condemning and
branding as untrue the publications al
luded to above, and believes that the
press of this country has been greatly
misled and that said publications are
not intended knowingly to injure their
industry.
RESOLVED, That this Association fully
and heartily endorses that provision o
the Pure Food law which prohibits the
use Of adulterants, preservatives and col
