Shun Melancholy.

Never give way to melancholy; re-
sist it steadily, for the habit will en-.
croach. l once gave a lady two-and-
twenty recipes against melancholy:
one was a bright fire; another, to re.
member all the pleasant things said
to her; another, to keep a box of sugar
plums on the chimney-piece and ket-
tie simmering on the hob l thought
this mere trifing at the moment, but
have in after-life discovered how true
it is that these little pleasures often
Danish melancholy better than higher
and more exalted objects, and that no
means ought to be thought too trifiing
which can oppose it either in our
selves or in others.-Sydney Smith.

MANY ALREADY OUT

Although the election for
Governor of Maryland is two
years hence, the field is even now
becoming crowded with prospec-
tive and receptive candidates.
Naturally, they are among the
Democratic voters, for the re-
turns at the last election served
to put damper on the Republi-
cans. At the present moment
the list, including those who have
been mentioned by friends and
and those are encouraging their
friends to keep the subject to the
front, includes the following:
Jesse D. Price of Wicomico,
president of the State Senate.
Emerson C.. Harrington of
Dorchester, the State Comptroll-
er.
State Senator William M. Maloy.
Jere H. Wheelwright of Balti-
more.
Down in Salisbury Senator
Prices home, his pictures have
been displayed in the store win
dows for some time now.
Harrington and Governor
Goldsborough both live in Dor
chester. In the last election
Comptroller Harrington, who is
the county leader, put the Demo
cratic ticket through without the
loss of man against the, Repub-
lican ticket named by Governor
Goldsborough, who is the Repub-
lican leader in the same county.
This fact seems to have brought
the State Comptroller into the
limelight, although his ambition
to be Governor of Maryland is
said to have existed for many
months,
Congressman Linthicum is a
candidate for the Gubernatorial
nomination. He wants it. More
over, he is after it in a quiet way,
and it would surprise no one if
he became very active in very
short time. If general impress
ion counts for anything, Mr..
Linthicum has had the Cover
norship of Maryland as his ulti-
mate aim for years.

The feat of Miss Nellie Schmidt, Of
Alameda, in swimming around Seal
Rocks has esta blished her record here
as a champion swimmer. No one be-
fore her has succeeded in swimming
around all four Of the Seal Rocks, as
usually the tide races so furiously
around them that the strongest swim
mer is powerless to make any head
way against it. Only two men, ath-
letes Of the Olympic club, have swum
around three Of the rocks. Miss
Schmidt has also to her credit the
swimming of the Golden Gate and the
swim across the Bay of San Fran
cisco. She is an Alameda girl who
has developed her remarkable quail
ties as a swimmer in the last three
years. She is a type of woman ath-
lete that is becoming common here.
because of the great opportunity which
the climate affords for outdoor exer-
else every day in the year.-San Fran
cisco Call.

In spite of the failure of the Well
man expedition and the tragic fate Of
the Vanniman party, the idea of cross
ing the Atlantic by dirigible balloon
still has it's fascination, and a German
named Bucher has announced his in
tention of making the attempt. A
French paper has been doing some
figuring. Taking as basis of calcula-
ton the dirigible Adjt. Reau, which,
holds the record for longest flight, it
is estimated that to cross the Atlantic
this dirigible must carry nearly eight
tons, nearly three tons more than its
capacity. And this is assuming that
it crosses in five days, without mis-
hap or delay. The conclusion is that
in the present state of aeronautic
science it is impossible for dirigi-
BILE to cross the Atlantic except on a
route where favoring winds would do
large part of the work.
