The meeting OF mothers at the Club
Wednesday night was not 90 largely at
tended as the gravity of the subject
of discussion should have deserved.
Many mothers abstained from attending
as they did not feel interested in the de-
bate, their children having already gone
through the hopping cough. OF those
present there vas about an equal num-
Der of those who had affected children
and Of those who had theirs stiR exempt
from the disease. The opinion was sd-
vanced BY the first that hopping cough
was an ailment that needed an abundan-
ce OF fresh air and it would be an act OF
cruelty to keep the sick children confin-
ed that it was rather the duty OF those
mothers who desired to keep their chii-
dren safe from the disease to make them
stav at home The other side advanced
the theory that persons affected with q
contagious disease should not have the
night to go amongst sane ones. and
pointed to the fact that persons affected
with the measles. scarlatine, yellow fe-
yer and small pox were generally kept
IN their rooms under guard. At that

lude to the real excursion of the day. At

expectant children were put on board a
special train of the Washington. Balti-
more and Annapolis Electric line-through

made possible-and WhiSked to Annapolis.

tary of the Associatde Charities. was in
charge of the party. which. it is expected.

city, as follows: Southwest. purple: south
east, navy blue: eastern division, light
blue; Georgetown. red: northern division,
pink; northeastern, orange and blue; west
erh. yellow; central. green. The special
train of five cars carried the same dis
tinctive cOlors, so that there was no
trouble either in going or coming on
the cars or the steamer In keeping the
little ones in the divisions to which they
belonged. Mr.. Foster of the Associated
Charities and other assistants aided Mr.
Jones in keeping order, and DR.. Clarence
Weaver saw to 1t that the little people

Apparatus.

For ordinary lawn purposes the
ideal apparatus is the compressed
air type of hand spraying machine.
Ii is necessary that sufficient ait
pressure be maintained by the
pump to make forcelul spray of
fine form If the liquid is
thrown in large drop. the grass
will be more or less injured as the
very young grass roots beneath the
soil have slight power of resisting
the action OF the chemical. The
car acity Of the tank should be from
three 10 four gallons and it should
be of such neat construction that
one can readily carry it about with
aut eoiling clothes. Necessarily,
it it is properly air tight il will he
free from leaks and chances TO spill
LIQUIDS.
The machine should be fitted
Gitl, about three feet of complies
s,go hue and a three foot exten-
sion rod GLOWING one to readily
swing the u07lle over the lawn
The nozzle Should be OF such a
nature as to throS rather wild

sides and causing the destruction
of unSightly weeds Every city /
aud town should possess one or
more good spray carts and several
good hand sprayers, The latter TO
allow spraying to be done in waste
places. difficult to reach with the
traction sprayer A man can
readily spray over All area as fast
as he could NOV over il whether
lie is working by hand or by team.
The traction sprayer is rather more
rapid in action than moving as the
allows of travelling over
rough ground.

Profitable Litigation.

On the boundary line of two farms
In an Austrian village there is large
gooseberry bush, from which the two
farmers have for years gathered the
product. What grows ON my side is
mine, and you may have the rest" was
the agreement.
Three years ago the neighbors had a
misunderstanding. and this came to a
climax when the gooseberries became
ripe. A lawsuit followed, and appeals
were made to higher judicial bodies
The final decision has just been re-
corded in an Austrian paper
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side of the line, just as it was orig
inally, but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half to
each litigant. Each farmer had to
pay 225 krone. The yearly yield of
the bush is worth about one-half krone,
and the judge told the fighting farm
ers:
with good luck it will take you only
500 years to make the bush Iay. Take
good care of it,"
