furnished grateful shade to many. 1t is likely
they were planted the year of the first annual
fair-1879. A copy of the premium list of this
fair is now before US. 1t contains in all %
pages and is a unique looking affair. Mr..
Samuel Brady was president, Col. Daniel Jeni-
fer, treasurer, and Mr.. William B. Sands, sec
retary. Only the latter survives.
-Nothing but praise has been heard on
every hand from persons who are obliged to
drive over the roads which have been recently
treated by the oiling process. One gentleman
says that his vehicle rides more smoothly, and
that he can tell after nightfall the minute he
strikes piece of oiled surface by the ease with
which his vehicle travels. If it had been pos
sible to have treated the York pike from Tow
son to Timonium with coat of the oil several
weeks previous to the Fair, it would have
proven blessing to those who were driving
by keeping down the dust.
-As the cunning season draws near farm
ers and others who reside in the suburbs ada
cent to the city limits, and others who live in
remote sections reached by the trolley will be
annoyed by the city chap who is out for day
sport and who is not over-particular as to what
object he draws bead on, so it's active. An
effective method to hold in check these per-
sons who have no regard for the personal
rights of the owners of property is to post their
premises. Mrs. Amos Blakeley of Loeb Raven
says that during her absence from home one
day last season some scoundrel went upon her
premises and shot II hens. She posted hel
property and has not since had any trouble
from gunners.

How Did lie Win?

Columns have been printed and count less sermons preached concerning the career of the late P. H. Hartman.
 While in general press and pulpit have been slow to commend the life and record of the brilliant financier, there has been more or less of the following sort of comment:
 Hartman was the son of poor preach CT. He had no pull, yet by sheer effort of will power he won his way from the bottom to the top of the financial ladder; therefore
 Here is hope for the poor boy The door of opportunity is wide open. Emu late Harrimans career
 One minister whose church had bene- fited by the contributions of the mag nate stood up in Wall street to tell how Hartman had belonged to the church and urged others to attend and said to the clerks and brokers gathered about him:
 ''If you do as well as he did, perhaps in time you may reach the same place"
 It Is the same old reasoning:
 Hartman was poor and obscure. By effort he won wealth and fame. He was successful; therefore
 Hartman was a great and admirable character, who is worthy of your fmita- tion.
 Let us look a little deeper and ask a few questions. Was this mans life noble? Did he win fairly? Did he violate his conscience, or did he have a nicely bal

fer dolorous cramps at the first squeak of a girlish giggle.
 A litter from young one is promptly frowned upon
 Just why it is difficult to say. A giggle is suppressed mirth giving way under pressure, and mirth is good for young creatures.
 Your true giggle is a gregarious thing. It flourishes best where two or three girls are gathered. It becomes contagious. And it thrives best where hilarity must be kept down to the limit. The more one tries to sit on a giggle the more 1t is dis- posed to bob up and out.
 How a healthy giggle gurgIesl
 Listen to that bunch of happy young things bubbling over in spontaneous but suppressed glee. Their risibles just must rise, like the lid on a teakettle.
 But somebody elevates nose to say that the girls who thus giggle to one an- other are silly or shallow"
 Somewhat frivolous they may belt is the frivolous age-but not necessarily shallow
 The giggle in a healthy girl is natural vent for her surplus vitality, as a whoop is the vent for a boy.
 Moreover, did you ever know of gig gling girl who was not kind hearted and companionable and sympathetic?
 Did you ever know a gifted giggler who was a girl grouch?
 All hail the girl who giggles.
 This would be a sad world without her Let her throw off her surplus life and joy and merriment in her chosen way.
 All too soon will that bubbling mirth be hushed by the sorrows of serious woman hood.
 Let her sgiggle.
 Gumption will come later

Great Temples of Ice.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Changeless arctic temples of ice amid the icy deserts of Greenland were found by the survivors of the ill-fated Erichsen expedition to the north pole. crystal palace of superhuman architecture vaster than a dozen cathedrals and Egyptian temples, resplendent with jewels and end- less decorations of ice, is described. Gre ated by nature in forbldding wilderness. it frightened and awed the explorers The dreams of poets and the fancies of epic bards were surpassed by this vision of colossal loveliness, which the painter, Achton Fries, a member of the expedi- tion, endeavored to carry away for the benefit of the dwellers in civilization. More than mile in length, the lofty nave of this temple was pierced at intervals with windows through which the gleam ing sun rays sparkled on columns and cubes and immense clusters of stalactites like pendant jewels. Through the center of the ice palace flowed stream of wa< ter whose occasional ripple and splashing fall broke the majestic silence. Far north 1t Is possib,e that ice palaces and temples should endure without change longer than foman structures of stone. The carcasses of prehistoric monsters have remained inviolate in arctic tombs for thousands have worn away and Baby lonian civilization has been buried deep fin the earth.

Who Is Boss?

Who is the boss of the schoolroom? The teacher? If so and the issue is raised between your child and the teacher, then you should back the teacher, and not your child.
 You should do this because it is best for the child
 More important than arithmetic or geography or language is obedience. Your child should acquire the habit of doing without question or barley, that which is ordered by competent authority. Else it's education will fail Respect for authority is a fundamental thing in human character. It is the foundation of all good citizenship
 Possibly you have properly taught your son or daughter. If so. 1t is we'll other wise the teacher will have trouble. And when the trouble comes you must eb careful to uphold the teacher. The father of the writer of these lines used to say. "Tf you get a whipping at school remember that you get another at home' And the warning was no idle threat
 The proceeding was spartan-like, but it worked.
 In the old days the question as to who was boss in school was usually determined on the first day of the term. If the new teacher could be frightened  some method the teacher could be shut out of the schoolroom and kept out, the schoolmaster would just as well quit. The school was boss, and the teachers author ity was at an end. If on the other hand. the teacher was physically able to fight his way to as tendency he was considered competent and there was very little trouble there after.
 Times have changed, and the average school teacher seldom finds occasion to resort to his fists in order to demon- strate his fitness to govern.
 But human nature has not changed.
 There is the same need that boys and girls should receive discipline.
 It was formerly thought. for instance, that none but bad boys should be sent to a military school, whereas it is now con- oeded that attendance at this kind of school will benefit any boy.
 And along with the lesson of personal neatness and system-and love of his hag--the one great lesson learned by a. boy in a military school is that of re- spectful, instant, unquestioned obedi- ence.
 American boys need that training.
 Be careful lest through mistaken affec- tion you side with your child against his teacher and ruin the child's character.
 If the child is encouraged to disobey his teacher, sooner or later he will disobey you.

anced conscience? Did he injure others What were his ideals of life. How did he succeed?
 That he climbed up the ladder of ma terial success argues nothing as To the mans character. And, besides
 If he succeeded by' unfair methods he was not famous, but infamous.
 If he found success by disreputahle methods only. this is proved, and only this: The door of opportunity is open to the unscrupulous
 It is not asserted here that MT Harri- man was interruptions When his life work is properly summed up by impar- tial history the verdict will be made.
 It is yet too early to fully pass upon his life and career. Few of us are able to distinguish between the private and public morals of the men of his genera ton. But
 What Is here objected to is the disposi- tion in certain circles to hold successful men up as examples for our young men simply because these men have been sue cessful.
 The question ought to be not merely, Did he succeed?"
 The question ought to be, How did he succeed?''
 More and more is the latter question being asked. The time is nearly past when the mantle of success can be made to cover a multitude of sins.

Do Not Crowd.

If you try to get on in the world by pushing some brother to the edge you gain nothing thereby and you injure your self.
 There is plenty of room for all of us. Do not crowd.
 When you stop to interfere with your competitor you lose just that much time and energy, which you ought to put into your own affairs.
 And 1t is a petty spirit.
 There are doctors who go out of their way to criticise other doctors, lawyers eho put in time abusing other lawyers merchants and even preachers who decry other preachers.
 That is a reprehensibe thing to do. Be- sides, it is lost motion
 You know what lost motion is in a ma chine. The parts are not properly geared or coupled. and though the motor does it's work, the machine does not get re- suits.
 There are people like that. They are not rightly coupled in a mental way, and they waste a great deal of motion in at tending to other peoples business.
 Adjust your machinery to the per formance of your own personal job. h. stead of criticisng your neighbours ma chine, oil your own.
 Or to change the figure
 You are in the race to win. If you stop to pick flaws with the style of the other runners you are apt to lose lap. It is better to keep ones eyes on the goal and let the others win if they can.
 And
 If the other man does win take off your hat to him. He is the better man.
 And, above all, tote fairl
 Do not try to crowd your competitor off the earth There is plenty of room for both of you. He has as much right here as you Stand fast in your place and don't begrudge him standing room.
 Do not crowd. Save your vitality to work out your own salvation.
 Do not be small or critical or jealous. You cannot afford it.
 Your pettiness will be apparent, and 1t will proclaim your size.
 Do not crowd.
 The earth is big.
 And life is short.

The Hinges of History.

HHE celebration of the one hundreth
 anniversary Of the invention of the \ steamboat by Fulton brought out some interesting reflections.
 One incident in the life of Fulton which Is not generally known closely touched the career of the great Napoleon Bona parte and is not without it's lessons.
 Every schoolboy knows about the fail ure of Napoleon to cross the English channel with his sailing ships and thus invade England, with which country he was nearly always at war.
 At great expense the French general fitted> out a large war fleet and then waited day after day and week after week for a favorable wind-in vain.
 While he was thus eating out his heart in impatience Robert Fulton sought an audience with him.
 This American citizen wanted a chance to demonstrate to the empfror the pos sibility of navigating vessels by steam and regardless of winds and waves.
 Napoleon said.
 Tell him I'll give him just minuten It is evident from the sequel the im- patient and harried Napoleon gave but little more than a minute to the explana- tions of Fulton, and his mind was proba- bly, far away during the time.
 Such are the hinges upon which the gates of history have sometime turned. It is not strange, perhaps, that most of his fellow countrymen should have called the inventors experimental boat 'Fulton's folly"
 But 1t is rather strange that the great Napoleon who seldom overlooked a chance and who was hospital in his treat ment of new ideas should have given Robert Fulton such scant attention.
 Had the emperor needed he might have succeeded in his invasion and changed the course of empire.
 It is just as well for posterity that Napoleon turned Fulton down.
 It was better that the man who killed the doctrine of the divine right of kings should have met his fate amid the snows of a Russian winter and at Waterloo.
 But the lessons are on the surface of the story itself
 One is this: If you have something that Is really worth while. do not be discour- aged because the great or the influential fail to see its merits.
 And the other is:
 No man however big. can afford to over look a helpful suggestion from any source. however humble.

A whistling girl and a growing hen, according to the adage of former gen. eration, are both foredoomed
 But worse fate was reserved for the giggling girl
 In those days a smile must be strangled and giggle must be gagged, especially in company.
 It was the invariable rule that young persons were 'to be seen and not heard" so that the girl who would be proper must keep a straight face.

THE LUCK OF FOUR-LEAV-

"You don't mean to tell me-"

ever found a four-leaved clover?
Well, we'll, wellw
Bernice and Rachel, the twins,
and Chrissy, the nine-year-old,

Plainly, Uncle Jacob considered
it serious thing never to have
found four-leaved clover.

thing as a four-leafed clover"
said Chrissy, determined to make
clean breast of it.
Uncle Jacob shook his head.
i've always had my suspicious
about those city schools. What
do they teach, if they leave out
such important things? Of
course, if you've never even heard
of four-leafed clovers you don't
know how there came to be four
leaved clovers at all ?"
No, they didn't but they want
ed to learn.
"Well, at least, you know that
the queen of the fairies made all
the clovers?" said Uncle Jacob.
The twins and Chrissy didn't
really know that, either; but they
kept silence; they were not 60

ance.
Gone day she was making
clovers at great rate, being an

over. She thought it would be a
terrible thing to waste it, being
