LIKE "sNGEi- At TIE GATE"
swinburne In Gorgeous Array, Ap
peared to Simple Villagers 90
Flaming ApParition.

An amusing story OF Swinburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then In charge Of country
parish in Essex. He arrived there on
a Saturday and was excused attend,
ance at sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
Journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
1t eluricgs morning he arrayed him
self in scarlet slippers and light
crimson Graasing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively oven
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
hantly ia the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none Of them dared to pass the fam.
ing apparition, and all came to halt
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance Of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man In the vii
lage bottled past the gate and the rest
stampedss after hin, Swinburne gaz
ing at them In quiet wonder at theiI
strange method Of going to church.

Realized Responsibility.

As marriage Is a serious business
some indication that the parties most
Immediately concerned are fully alive
to this fact would be generally well
come. At every Roman wedding the
bridegroom, on emerging from the
temple with the bride, threw handful
Of nuts among the bystanders. This
was to show that he considered him
self boy no longer; that the sports
and fancies of youth were now entire
ly abandoned that he was standing
on the threshold of new existence,
ready to assume all the responsible
tieg of citizen.

WHAT TO Do WITH THIS BOY
Case of Juvenile CriminaIity In France
That May Well Puzzle the
Social Reformer.

Here Is little life story that more
wildly Eliminates the task of the SO
Cial reformer than any number Of trea
tisss. A couple of nights ego a boy of
kess than fifteen was discovered along
side the Seine by couple of police
men. At first he refused to utter a
word, but eventually he narrated his
Odyssey. Eighteen months ago. when
be was barely thirteen, he surreptiti-
ously left hts parents house in Paris,
taking with him a sum of 500 francs.
With this money in his possession he
went to Brussels, where he was short
ly after arrested. The police conduct
ed him home, but he escaped again.
Taken back second time, he was ap-
prentieed to a"farmeT but promptly de-
parted on fresh adventures. Since then
he has existed by means of begging
and thieving. Two months ago he
stole a couple of bicycles, aud. mount
ing one and propelling the other, made
uahchines, riding 70 Paris on the 9th
sr. This he sold In Paris, and lived on
the proceeds for time, until, shelter-
less and without resources, he was
found by the police. What can the
soeiologist, the penologist, or the phi.
lanthropiet do with so youthful and
precoeious a criminal? The problem is
q serious one in France, where juVe
nile orims Ia alarplngly on the In
erssse.--Paris Correspondence London

Peru the Land Of SUGAR,

Heavy production Of sugarcane to
the acre is one Of the surprises Of
Peru. Where 1t is grown the Land 10
level and planting is an easy matter.
When the cane reaches the height Of
two feet further attention in regard to
cultivation is said to be unnecessary,
and In from Is to "a weeks maturity
is reached. That the growth N luIu-
rious may be known from the fact
that an average crop Of 40 tons an
acre is obtained, while go and even
70 tons is not uncommon. In other
sugar-growing countries, including
Cuba, rs tons per acre are considered
good average, according 70 sugar en-
perts.

NOT GIVEN NEED OF PRAISE
Inventors and Promoters Of Agencies
Which Have Enriched the World
Too Frequently Overlooked.

History bristles with the names Of
doughty warriors and rulers, describes
at length their struggles and achieve
ments, and dismisses the inventors and
promoters of the great agencies which
have made modern civilization pos
sible, with scanty, If any, mention.
The invention Of printing has had
more influence upon the development
Of the race than any act or any ruler
that the world has ever known, and
more than half Of those who read this
will not know the inventors name.
The men who invented and devel
oped the steam engine did more TO
tighten human toll and TO make pos
sible to each OF the dwellers upon
earth a larger need Of comfort and
enjoyment than all the generals who
ever pitted men against their fellows.
Hunt for their names In the indexes Of
your histories.
Art and literature have been broad
highways to fame. The high school
scholar can tell you who wrote what
and when he wrote 1t, but ask him who
built the first railroad In America and
when and where 1t was. The magnif
cent Albert memorial is covered with
the names of authors and painters and
sculptors, but Michael Angelo Is there
because he was an artist, and Leonar
do da Vinci because he was painter.
and not because he was an engines,

Lucid Directions,

The directions that an automobilist
got on Long Island, when he asked a
small boy the way to Oyster Bay, are
almost worthy Of place beside the
famous reply that Lancslot Gobbo
made to his father when the old man
inquired of him the way to Master
Jews. The boy looked thoughtful,
says the New York Evening Post, and
then replied:
go straight up there, and you'll
pass where the watermelon field was
three years ago; then go on straight,
and you'll pass where the corn was
two years ago. Turn to your left, and
turn to your right after that, and then
turn to your right again, and You'll
pass the place where a man was
killed by an automobile tast year. II
you'll go along about mile, you'll
come to where Mr.. Jones lived before
he moved over to Port Washington;
then turn to your left and you'll see

Quality, ksynste of British Crops.

Quality must always be the keynote
OF British agriculture, as the area is
far too small to enable farmers to
grow the quantities of produce that
the newer countries Of the world can
yield; and In no connection is quality
Of greater importance than that of the
cereal crops. Wheat, oats and barley
viii occupy considerable portion OF
the land, and the condition in which
they are put on the market substantial
ly affects the prices they realize.-Lon.

ERTDAY, JANUARY l, 1916 !

Much public discussion has arisen
throughout the State with refer
enCe to the failure of Governor
Fletcher to re-appoint Superior
Judge Fish and Justices Hazelton
and Munson of the Supreme Court.
1t has been an almost immemerial
custom in Vermont to re-appoint
and re-eleCt both the Superior
Judges and the Justices OF the
Supreme Court. By our constitu-
ton and laws, this function Is plac-
ed especially in the hands OF the
Legislative department, but so
wisely has 1t been handled that
hardly ever in the 1l~to~'' Il the
State has the leg:;latrre.ever fall . |
to re-e1ect without some good
cause. The stability and independ-
ence Of our judiciary can only be
maintained by keeping the mem
bers thereof permanently in office
unless there is some physical or
mental impairment to prevent. No
one cares to try case before a de-
pendent and vacillating judiciary.
For the members of either Court
to suspect that by the merest within
and prejudice of an executive, he
may be removed from office with
out hearing and without cause'is a
sad commentary upon the stability
Of our institutions. No one can
question, for a moment, the ability,
integrity, and impartiality of all
three OF the men whom the present
Governor, by accident and fortui-
tous circumstance, dropped from
the list of the Judiciary, No lawyer
or l1tigent has ever doubted their
integrity and ability. Yet, without
canse, and without any reasonable
excuse, through whim and passion
and prejudice, they were dropped
from the rolls If the Governor
had any justification for this, he
has not expressed it in such ann
biguous terms that no one can un-
derstand what he says,
All the gentlemen who are drop
ped from the list of Judges and
Justices are men of eminent abili-
ty, and without derogatory com
ment as to the other two, 1t may
be said confidently and without
danger of contradiction that one of
the men who was dropped from the
list Of Justices of the Supreme
Court is one of the greatest justists
IN this country aud would be a
credit and honor to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
1t is not we'll to speak hastily or
without proper reflection, but we
are confident that the only proper
thing for the coming legislative to
do will be to re-iustate the Judge
and the Justices whom the Govern.
or failed to re-appoint and thus to
insure the permanence and stability
of our judiciary and place them SO
far as ia possible beyond all kpoliti.
cal turmoil and strife and to assure
litigants that, when they 20 into
the trial of a cause, they will bs
most certain to receive the fair ane
impartial rulings of an able and
experienced man who needs to &c
no further than to consult his owl
conscience and his own intimatt
knowledge of law and who. In rem
dering his decisions, will not have

Women In War.

what a splendid courage and IN
tagging zeal In their country's cause
the Boer women showed IN the South
African war has never been so fully
realized as it will be now by all who
read the remarkable record just pub
lished under the title of "Petticoat
Commands" This is practically the
diary done in narrative form of girl
who, with her widowed mother, out
witted the English officers and men
and helped their countrymen. They
were clever, cultivated and kindly wo
men, simply aglow with patriotism;
and to read what they did and how
they did it makes one realize afresb
what wonderful creatures women are
Let scientists say what they will

and in many ways vastly superior. Ir

To The EDITOR, MD. INDEPENDENT
The last Legislature stands out
from all other Legislatures for GER
tainly fifty years IN the variety and
importance OF the constitutional
amendments it has submitted for the
consideration Of the vJters of Mary
land. One of them, Of the least i'm
portance Of all, relating to the
sherifalty in Baltimore City, was
adopted last fall and may be dis
missed without comment. The
Others however, mark the waking
up of the State to the progressive
movement now going on throughout
the United States, and il they are
adopted, Maryland, instead of being
called a backward STATE, will DEM
onstrate itself to be in Legislative
way the most progressive State east
of the Mississippi River. That the
amendments in question will be
adopted, the people once understand
ing their purpose and effect, have
co doubt. | am seeking this occa-
sioo, through awaiting myself Of the
courtesy Of your columns, to call the
attention Of the voters of this county
to some of the more important tea
tures of the amendments to be voted
upon.
The amen iment which has at
tracted the greatest amount OF no.
tice perhaps in the newspapers Of the
State, certainly those in Baltimore
City, is that providing for hume rule
in the counties and Baltimore City.
Under this amendment, if adopted,
whenever twenty per cent Of the re-
gistered voters of any county, or
ten thousand petitioners shall so de-
mand, there shall be created a chart
er board Of eleven in Baltimore City
or five in any County 1.-THE elections
being non PARTISAN, whose duty it
shall be to frame a charter for the
