On September 1st. 1912, Annie j.,
beloved wife Of Thomas B. Davis.
died athpr home near Chsrotta Hall,
in the FORTY second year Of her age.
Rarely las the writer been called

faithful little woman. She was
model house-keeper, devoted wife
aud devout christian Though af-
fiicted for the past three years with
the dreadful disease which carried
her to her grave, she never forgot
her duties to her church. II made
no difference bow many OF her friends

that her PLACE in tho House OF Wor-

Save Our Industries.
81. Mary's Beacon.

-~~~~~~--'
From Washington one continues to
hear unpleasant rumors about the
infection Of Potomac oyster beds.
Practically the oyster industry in
in the Wicomico and in the Potomac
above Blackistona's Inland is para
lyzed. The Pure Food experts are
right in their princip es. but some.
times wrong 10 applying them and
drawing conclusions. Oae Of the
expert physicians who addressed
the international Congress OF Hy-
giene aud Demoeraphy in Washing
ton last week said that the chief
danger OF typhoid came from oysters
that had been ''Aoated" or from the
practice u drinking" oysters. He
said there was 70 typhoid where
oysters we're taken direct from the
water. and where there had been no
drinking" OF them. We're the oys-
ters examined by the Government
officials taken from the water; or
from some oyster stand. or from the
bottom Of cargo that had been ga.
thered many days previous AS q
proof Of the heal,hness OF our oysters
fresh from the Potomac and tribu-
tries. Cannot the scarcity OF w.
phoid 10 st. Mary's County be ale.
Red2 How many cases can Lossib y
be traced to the oysterP Yet this
has always been an oyster consum
ing community. Would IL not be
practical for our physicians as a
body TO send committee 10 Wash.
ington or pr' sent petition aud
give their side Of the que stion ? They
are the guardians Of public health
their word would carry most weight
and they vol 90 grea, oe' eft

vital industries.

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eye

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface 10
under a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, 1t is q common practice to
use wall papers and draperies Of that
color in Libraries and private studies.
For writing paper. however, green 10
IN unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing. and
makes 1t hard to read.
Yellow writing paper Is not open to
tho same objection. In strong day.
light 1t is softer than pure white pa
PEI. and in artificial light IL not teo
dark. Black letters on Q yellowish
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathematicians We yellow pa
per in figuring long and dimcult cal.
culations, and many writer's have
adopted 1t for manuscripts. 1t has the
additional merit Of cheapness.-

The Spider Cheat.

Many species of spiders are interest
ing on account Of their physical con-
.struction or their habits, but the most
curious specimens are probably to be
found in the woods of Sumatra; and
these naturalists call, not without rea-
son, spider cheats" This insect, in
order to trap the flies, ETC.. on which 1t
feeds, hides on a leaf and spins a
web OF neutral color, making an L.
fusion SO perfect that the prey not
only does not fly, but seems attracted
by the peculiar termination of the
web on the edge of the leaf. This is
a perfect knot in appearance and gives
TO the trap the general shape Of q
miniature palm-leaf fan with indented
handle.-Harper's Weekly.

PasslnS q the "Nrtins Mastere."
One sometimes regrets the PASSING
Of the writing master" OF the schools
OF the last century, for even in these
days Of typewriting the signature
must be handwritten. There seems
to be . sort Of slap-dash. concealed
belief among the users Of type ma
chimes that everybody q recognize
his personal signature. This Is an
unfounded belief, and In . drawer BY
his side there are letters signed-by
unknown persons who have neveI
learned to write their name. Their
bankers may possibly recognise the
