have the next snow fall to have the
street crossings cleaned and the gut

Tree How of the water following the
melting of the snow. This as well as
the pavements cleaned, especially on
Main street. Some of the cutters at
the crossing were so damned up as
to make it impossible to cross with

and the work OF the Home exiained
In detail
The Stone Settlement Home has had
marvellous growth in the two short
years OF it's existence. Starting with
five rooms in email rented house on
Center street it has expanded until
today it is the leading in titution in
Martinsburg in charitable work, while
in the sphere OF Sunday school, indus
trial club, and kindergarten work its
Influence has been equally important.
The Home commenced with kim
dergarten school and several indus
triad clubs for boys and girls, together
with a regular prayer service and
Sunday school. But 10 many children
came to the kindergarten and clubs
that the managers We're forced to seek
larger quarters to accommodate them.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Guy Het-
gel, the practical founder of the Home
and now the president of the board
of lady managers, Mrs. H. P. Thorn
and other noble women and men who
donated money, time, labor and build
ing materials, the present handsome
and commodious house on Center
street was built and equipped One
year ago there was but $1.25 in the
treasury for the building fund, but
contributions began to flow in and
work was begun on the new Home
last January and completed in five
months at cost of nearly $1,000. 1t
was dedicated with appropriate SER
vices the 9TH OF last June
Last September the scope of the
management was widened. the Home
coming under the control of board
of lady managers consisting of the
officers of the Women's Home society
of the Methodist Episcopal church and
six patronesses elected for year from
the patronesses of the Home. The
latter share equally with the officers
of the auxiliary in the management
of the Home.
While the Stone Settlement HOME
is educational in one aspect it must
not be forgotten that relief and char
table work are primary objects of its
existence. Any persons, therefore,
who feel disposed to contribute bed
clothing, wearing apparel, provisions
or food of any sort, coal, etc, are re-
quested to send them to the Home
sometime tomorrow or as soon there
after as convenient. AS intimated,
these are for immediate relief work
among the poor of town. SO

The Transformation of Live Fish.

A method by which fish may be
carried alive in quantity for thous-
ands of miles is described by Capt.
Godfrey l.. Garden, a special agent
of the United States Revenue Cutter
Service, in a recent report from Ber-
lin, part of which was reproduced in
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view (Chicago, July 49, He says:
Transportation of live fish for
market purposes is now an establish
ed fact. in Germany. Under the Erl-
vein system, which is now being
| operated on the Prussian state rail-
ways. the fish are being hauled over
considerable distances. I am advised
that shipments are being made to
Berlin from Lyon in France, and
from as far south as Rumania.
Briefly, the new system permits of
a proportion of two tons of fish to
one ton of water, and, in instances,
as many as four tons Of fish have
!. been transported alive in one and
one-half tons of water. This means
that the fish have been packed in
almost like sardines. Under the Erl-
vein system oxygen is forced through
the fish tank by can of a circulate
ing pump, and the carbonic acid as
exhaled in breathing is absorbed by
lime plates. DIR. Erlwein, who is
responsible for the development of
the present system, is n of the
principle engineers for the Siemens-
Halske electrical establishment of
. Berlin. $50 far only fresh-water
:. fish are being transported, but | un-
= derstand hat it is the intention to
take up the transportation alive OF
saltwater fish. Before this latter
result can be effected it will be nee
essary to equip many of the %seagoing
:. fishery vessels with wells or tauks
such as are seer in many of the Bos-
ton tish~ing-vessels. German law
does not permit of. fresh-water fish

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only n way to cIre
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation a be taken out and
this tube restored to Its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
in1amed condition of the mucous sur

Faithfulness of Women.

King Solomon said "a womanly
woman is the crown of her husband
and supplemented this beautiful
statement that "every wise woman
buildeth her house." This was ex-
PLANTATION enough why women are
found within the bounds of Frater-
nal Orders. The writer will not
forget the statement made by a
worthy lady in a Lodge meeting to
the effect that she would take in
washing rather than permit her ben
eft certificate to lapse. She knew
that our beneficient order could pro-
tect the home that she had builded,
and she was wise in her determine
ton to hold fast to such protection
while it was within her grasp. The
women of our Order are it's most
loyal supporters. They do not only
believe in protection for themselves,
but they believe in it for their hus-
bands-and many a husband has
faltered in his plan to protect his
home by means of a benefit certiti-
cate, but has paid up" because of
a wife's solicitation. Some one has
truly said that "the strongest char
acteristic of true womanhood is her
loyalty to her convictions. This 10y
atty is not the result of schooling or
training TT comes with her birth
continues through life and ends only
at her death. A. few here and there,
may from time to time fall by the
wayside, but the number is limited.
Even the best of lei are more
or less Influenced by passion or pre-
JUDGE, but a true woman never is,
Men as a rule prefer to go with the
crowd, and always dislike being
classed with the minority. Women
on the other hand, care nothing
for the opinion of the outside world
unless it comedies with their owr
convictions of right and wrong, and
universally consider a happy home as
the acme of human felicity.
/ The whole superstructure of mod,
ern civilization rests upon the home
and the hc-ee itself owes its yer,
existence to the unshaken loyalty
and unselfsh devotion of true
womanhood.
