tAs in BuenOs Ayres Has . Ball.
 Room and an Innrmary.
 Queer newspapers are not at all uh common, few are very interesting. Perhaps the most strangely situated newspaper office in the country is that of the Washington Megaphone. It nestles on the verge of a primeval for est on one hand, while within less than 100 feet on the other the waves of the Pacific Ocean lap the shore. says a writer in Van Norden's Maga- zine. In front of the office runs a mountain stream, which revolves. in its rush to the sea, great mill wheel, which in turn operates the Mega phones printing press.
 When respite from their tasks is afforded the members of the staff of the paper they may gather apples by reaching out of window. Just out side the door are pears, prunes, plums and cherries, and little further away blackberries and salmon berries are theirs for the picking. Perhaps the editor is of Waltonian bent. A few feet from his sanctum he can eirtice salmon. trout and perch from thei' native elements.
 But the editor of the Megaphone is not the only journalist in the world enjoying uncommon advantages. In Buenos Ayres the life of an editor. according to reports. is similarly at tractive and care-free Down there one newspaper office includes ball room and an infrmary. where doc tor gives advice gratuitOusly to the whole staff And. furthermore. the edi- tors gather in comfortable rooms, seat themselves in armchairs or recline on divans and smoke long. black cigars, between puffs slipping iced lemonade,

A LABRADOR RESCUE.
~O~OoOo~~

In his work among the people of the Labrador coast Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell has often imperiled his life. 1 One such instance is given in his book, "Adrift on an Ice-Pan," in which is told the story of his remarkable es- cape from death. What follows-an account of the rescue-is all the more impressive from being told in the | homely words of one of the rescuers: i One day about week after Dr. Gren- i felIs return two men came in from Griquet. fifteen miles away They had walked all that distance, although the trail was heavy with snow We just felt we must see the doctor and tell him what 'twould a meant to us if he'd been lost" said George Andrews

JuSt aS Well to Eat What You Fancy, Declares q Medical Editor.
 Many millions of quiet citizens eat what they please, achieve as green an old age as the most pig-headed of die teticians, are for the most part uncon- scious of the workings of the alimen- the most wretched of empirics, in groveling ignorance of tho glorious ac- complishments of a priori conclusions on questions of diet" says the New York Medical Journal
 We are informed that there are, in divers parts of our fair land, sana- toria where the bills of fare are ar ranged in tabular form to enable one to calculate quickly the proteid, car bohydrate. and saline percentages of the various items. Carefully instruct ed by the house physician, the long lines of patients, pencils in hand, add and subtract till the proper propor- tions for each individual diathesis have been ascertained, when the orders are given to the keepers-we mean, walters
 We understand that a strict Fetch crism is enforced in these places, not fewer than thirty-tive jaw movements being permitted to each mouthful; conversation being impossible, the feeders sitting all silent and all damned an orchestra is permitted to do its worst. If we have confounded the rituals of two sects of the diet religion, we apologize.
 What do our neurologists think of thus centering the mind on the diges- tive system? If there is law of diet it is that there are as many laws as individuals. One mans meat is an other mans poison is an aphorism founded on profound observation; to attempt to marshal the multitudinous dyspeptics into platoons and regiments is useless and unkind. Vegetarians there are. but they quarrel among themselves as much as they. do en masse with the carnivorous; the ut most freedom of individuality should be accorded them
 Raw meat feeders may deserve re- spect if not imitation: breakfast food devotees, who prefer to pay four times the price of bread for the same thing, are harmless under persecution; back to-naturs cIanks should be permitted to proceed thither crabwise. unhind- cred
 Never should a concerted attack he made on these people; they should he allowed to destroy themselves indivii- ually. They should not be permitted to organize in gangs to molest normal diners, we object 10 these monomani- acs. as we do to Drohibitionists pre- cipitating themselves upon persons of normal appetite and thirst who wish to be let alone"

Politics in India.

I was very much struck when 1t be- came known in India that an election was certain, that all classes seemed to be anxious that no Lord Curzon should be sent back to them and that the party responsible for Lord Curzon should not be returned to power, Ram say Mcdonald, NJ P, says in London Public Opinion. It was really most wonderful. I came across this great anxiety wherever I went.
 Every one, from maharajahs to ordi- nary villagers, said: Do you think there is any chance of the conserva- tives getting a majority? It will be a very had day for India if they do.' It was a striking thing. and practically universal The memory of Lord Cur zon's last three years remains in h. dias mind with a sort of horror.

An Unequaled Drouth.

We are now passing through drOuth
of duration unequaled. Very little rain
has fallen since June last The entire East
and large portion of the South have been
sufferers in this respect No section has suf-
fered more than Maryland. In some por-
tons Of the State the corn crop has been
damaged seriously and also other smaller
crops.
In this county we have had only local
showers here and there. From the scarcity
of rain ii was thought the corn crop would
be lessened to a great extent-less than
last year, which was a big loss to our
farmers. But since the farmers have be-
gun to cut this crop it is found to be far
above expectation.
The water supply all over the State has
decreased materially. Water spOlts that
heretofore flowed copiously and never went
dry before now have failed We have
been informed that a number of our farm
ers are compelled to haul water to supply
their stock. The people of the towns of
this State are very apprehensive that their
water supply may give out. to be fol-
lowed with dire consequences.
Some of our farmers have begun to SOW
their wheat crops. but think they are TAX
ing a great risk of their seed wheat and
grass seed perishing in the dry earth.
Others are holding off with their seeding
until rain falls to avoid the risk
Hicks the weather prophet, in his prog
nostications for October predicts rain be-
tween the 3rd and 9th Of the month with
storms passing from west to east and a
change to decidedly cooler weather.
