ment of stations along the Shenandoah
Valley division. so handsomely begun at
Shepherdstown. Seeing the splendid new
station at his place, other towns are ask
ing for similar improvements, and ii is
said that the company is disposed to keep
up the good work. Berryville has hopes
of new depot, and the people of Shen-
andoah Junction and the travelling public
In general are demanding one for that
place, where it is so greatly needed. We
have heard that the N. & w. has definite
ly determined upon new depot at An
tietam CSharpsburg), which, while not OF
the same class as that at Shepherdstown,
will be very creditable structure. 1t is
also said that the company will improve
its track at Antietam by taking out the
deep dip north of the station.
There is strong probability that the
quarries of the Standard Lime and Stone
Company at Kearneysville will not be OPP
Grated as extensively as heretofore. For
a number of years these quarries have
furnished the ballast for the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, but this contract has now
been taken away and given for a period
of ten years to company from Columbus
Ohio, with quarrieS and crusherS at Pat
terson's depot, in Mineral county, w. Va.
The quarries at Kearneysville are Still
running, but only one crusher is in opera
ton. The contract with the B. & o.
terminates December 18th. The work at
Kearneysville Will be kept going, it is
hoped, at least to some extent, in filling
private orders and furnishing crushed
stone for public roads, etc. These quar-
ries have been in operation for number
of years, and it is hoped that they may
not be permanently abandoned.

REMARKS.

LtAAt-AALS1AD.
Mr., Lindholn has been a public servant
Tor 45 years first in the Military Service,
from 1882 to 1867, and afterwards in the
Police service, from that date to 1887.
On his withdrawal from the latter, he vas
allowed p pension of Frcs. 1000 from the
Colonial Treasury. He is rs years old,
and is unable to do anything to assist
himself in gaining his subsistence, and he
is evidently in need Of further assistance,
his small allowance Of &16.66 monthly, be
ing insufficient for the purpose in his
declining years. Besides his long public
service, he has rendered good service by
his self sacrificing and unfaltering endea-
YOURS, in promoting musical teaching, by
forming Il band from among the men o.
the old Military and the present Gondar-
merry Corps, which he continues to do up
to the present time,
| beg, on behalf Of the Municipal Com
mittec, agreeable to q resolution adopted
by the said Committee, in It's meeting OF
18th inst-to propose this amendment,
for an increase Of his pension for adoption
by the Council.

is the ensign that iutters from the
staff Of a little craft that rounds the
Battery sea wall promptly at noon
every day and then disappears up the
North river. It is triangular nag
with a flaming red background. from
whic.. stands out IN bold relief great
cyclopean eye. Inside the pilo1house
is a man in blue coat and brass but
tons, who views the water front and
passing craft through g long telescope.
This is the supervisor Of the harDor.
His duties are to see that the reguIa-
tions are observed in the East river,
the upper bay and the Hudson river
that the channels are kept free OF oo-
structionsGand that the city's docks
and ferries are being looked after as
they should be- AS soon as he steps on

Curly Hair Means Obstinacy.

The curly headed man uttered an ex-

Strange" he said, II have been
drawn for juries time and again, but
have never served. They always
challenge me. I wonder Why"
'It is your curly hair" said q law
yer. "a curly headed man kills a jury.
He always causes it to disagree"
"That is not true. You must be
crazy" said the other.
''It is the gospel truth" the lawyer
persisted. Curly heads are as obsti-
nate as mules They think they know
1t all. They disagree with everybody.
1T is because" he fastened to add,
their curly hair makes them so good
looking. In childhood they are spoiled
by their parents, and in maturity wo-
men spoil them, falling in love with
them on every side. So they become
conceited. They disagree with every
body. Lawyers the world over recos-
nize that as jurymen they would never
do."-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

THE HAUaHTY TURK.
High Handed Diplomatic Methods OF
the Seventeenth Century.

Hieh Handed Diplomatic Methods OF
the Seventeenth Century.
Indignities to which foreign ENJOYS
were formerly subjected in China were
mild in comparison with those occa-
sionally meted out to them in Constan-
tinople. N. Julian klacZks in his
"Etude de Diplomatic Contemporaries
relates that in 1913 the grand vizier,
having intercepted some French dis
patches, tried to force Del Ia Have.
first secretary to the French embassy
and son Of the ambassador. to give
him the cipher Of the embassy. 1he
Young diplomat Indignantly refused
and was in consequence bastinadoed,
struck in the face with such force that
his teeth were broken, and he was
thrown into prison. No attempt was
made bs Louis XIV. to obtain redress
for the wrongs inflicted on his repre-
sentative.
Until the beginning Of the eighteenth
century Christian ENJOYS to the porte
were forbidden to visit one another OF
even to confer with one another on
neutral ground. They were not al
lowed to drive in public with their
wives, and at one time 1t was pro-
posed to prevent them from importing
wine for their own consumption. 4
compromise was effected on this point,
on the understanding that the accurs-
ed liquor was to be conveyed from the
harbor TO the embassies at night and
in great secrecy.
