BELIEF IN LUCK.

We are firm believer in luck, that is
if young man be diligent and looks
well to all of his ways. he will have what
the world terms luck. If he aspres to
eminence in any calling or profession,
and with fixed resolves deminmlnedly
pursues the right thither, luck will land
him there at last. If he courts favor,
position in life or great honors, and
strives earnestly, patiently, persistently
and bravely, luck will satiate every
longing desire If it is his purpose to
win in any walk Of life that his ambition
may suggest, If he wisely and judiciously
makes use of the powers in his possess
sion and the opportunities of life, luck
will grant them. Luck, like faith, to
make Unavailable must be accompanied
by works, and the more earnest the
work the better will be the luck or
greater the faith. Luck follows labor
and effort and it will help you over the
difficulties if you strive the same as it
will help you over ditch if you
Jump. Luck, will put a bit Of bacon
into your pot if you look well after your
garden and keep pig. Luck gener-
ally comes to those who look after IT.;
and our notion is it taps, once in a life
time, at every mans door, but if indus
try does not open it, away it goes.

Disastrous Fire at Cambridge :
Loss 100000.

On Sunday morning, July 3Ist, most
Disastrous fire occurred at Cambridge,
on the Eastern Shore. Eight large stores
dozen handsome dwellings, and a
large church were burned, and a great
part of the town was threatened before
the fire was gotten under control. The
fire burned fercely for four hours, and
was checked only after the finest business
section had been left heap of brick and
ashes. The store rooms were the best
in Cambridge, and some Of the hand
soonest dwellings and the Zion M. +.
Church. which was the finest on the
Eastern Shore, are total loss. Tele-
phone and telegraph poles and wires
were DESTROYED, and only the Postal
Telegraph service was available. The
property loss is estimated at {2oo 600,
two-thirds of which is covered by insur,
ance. Business will be stagnated for
months and many are thrown out ol
employment. There was no loss of life,
or any one injured although many mar.
row escapts were reported.

BE SOMETHING,

There IS moral grandeur in the

world may wag their headsSand you may
be denounced, but if you are conscious
of that integrity of purpose which has
always characterized you, and that you
now stand on an eminence, placed there
by your own rectitude of heart, you have
nothing to fear You had not the inhu-
ence of wealth, nor the God speed
you," of. powerful friends; but you had
more-a heart fixed and determined, and
this is what has made you what you are
Go on-add virtue to virtue-look stead
lily at the goal before you, and at last
your best teachers and artful companions
will acknowledge your superiority and
feel proud of being among the number
of your friends. The man who is re-
solved to be something in the world
should have nothing to fear, and when
he little dreams of it honors are gath
ering about his head and an influence
goes out from him, which is exerted
silently but surely for the good of thou
sands.

Automobile Reciprocity.

Prospects for the establishment of reci-
procal relations between Maryland and
Pennsylvania, by which automobilsts liv-
ing in one State may drive their machines
into the other without first taking out an
additional license, are now brighter than
they have been at any time since Governor
Crothers, at the request OF local machine
owners, first took the matter up with the
Pennsylvania authorities.
After considerable correspondence he
has issued a proclamation, which has
been forwarded to the proper Pennsyl.
vania authorities for their approval. Il
the terms of it are agreed to-and il is
almost certain they will be-the exchange
of privileges will begin at once.

Gets on its annual boom.

They Will enjoy some happy days

Women should learn the value of add
ing pair of extra thick wide silk corset
lacers to the price of any corset they
buy. 1t is remarkable how much easier
the corset is drawn together with these
and how much more comfortable is the
pressure Of the silk against the skin than
that of cotton or linen. Every one
knows the truth of the last statement.
but they do not always know there are
two grades of these lacers. slightly diff
ferent in cost, and that the length OF
life of the expensive one and the way ii
enables one to lace the corset properly
are easily worth twice the difference in
nickels. The new corset is long over the
hips and if it is laced with thin string
it will bulge in an ugly curve over the
lower part of the spine. The thin LAGER
is not strong enough to hold the bones in

The Experimental Plot.

Every farmer should have, and east
ly can have, a small experimental plot
of ground for testing the soil and diff
ferent crops. No farmer can ever
know the highest capacity of his soil
till he has fortified a small portion
of his land very heavily with com
7lete balanced mixture of fertilizers,
planted the very best OF seed, and
gwen the crop, or crops, extra good
cultivation. Many farmers hear or
read of 100 bushels of corn to the
acre, or several hundred dollars an
acre made in growing special crops,
and do not believe that it is possible.
they do not believe it because they
nave never done half so we'll on their
own land, but they never put half the
amount of fertilizers, nor half as good
seed, nor half as good cultivation, to
the crops they grew. Try an acre. or
even half acre, of ground on your
own farm this coming season and see
what results can be had from it. Be
gin now to fertilize and do not stop
till the piece of land is as fertile as
1t can well be made with at least
three different kinds of fertilizins mat
ter. Prepare the land in the very best
manner, use the best seed, and give a
dozen civilizations. You will surprise
yourself with results.-Journal of

Straw in Manure,

Owing to its abundance, straw is
added to barnyard manure, but it can
be made more serviceable if made fine
with the feed cutter before being used.
While straw nay soon rot after being
mixed with manure, yet in a fine con
dition it is a much better absorbent
and can be forked into the manure
with advantage. When loading and
spreading manure there is a saving of
labor when handling that which $
fine, and the manure will be more val
liable because the loss of ammonia
will be arrested by the use of suitable
absorbent materials.

of compression. With hydraulic appar-
atus the flour is squeezed into the
forms of bricks, and the pressure de-
stroys all forms of larval life, thus
preserving the -four from the ravages
of insects, while it is equally secure
from mold. Three hundred pounds of
