Worry often Selfish.

To expect sorrow is to suffer from it
before it arrives, and when it may not
arrive at all; it is like throwing our
gold into the sea because we fancy
that the ship is going down. Perhaps
there may be great trouble awaiting
us next year; shall we destroy the en-
tire happiness and comfort of this year
by anticipating it? The dread will not
help us to bear it when it comes. Wor-
ry is wrong that we do to ourselves,
and it usually makes others suffer
with us. Very often it is absolutely
selfish. Let us resist it by all the
means in our power, and give our
selves to the things that cheer and
strengthen us; basing ourselves on the
hope that when trial comes we shall
be able to endure it brayely. There
are reserves of strength which we too
often ignore, whose help comes in the
hour of need.-Exchange

Maryland Takes Leading Part.

Maryland has taken a leading part
in the events that have made the
past year one of the most important
in the history of the world.
The State has not only given its
men and money freely to help win
the greatest struggle in the annals
of civilization, but it has set a
standard in the type of men sent to
the front.
On numerous occasions, officials of
the United States Navy have taken
the opportunity to speak words of
praise for the kind of men Maryland
is giving the Naval Branch of the
Service. Nor will Maryland cease
to send her loyal sons to the defense
of the colors, until peace has been
declared.
There is yet need for young men
In the Navy for the Seaman Branch
and the Aviation Section, especially
for men who are carpenters by trade.
The Navy recruiting authorities at
Baltimore have recently announced
small quotas for these two branches
and hope to fill them in the near
future.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the near
est postmaster; directly from the
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert and
Lexington Streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Sub-sta-
lions at Cumberland and Hagers-
town.

The Latest Kiss.

There's new kis in town. We've
had the tango, the merry Widow" and
the "Waltz Kiss" every one of them
q marathon Of the OSCILLATION tribe.
But the newest one is called the
Puff, Puff" kiss. It is the latest
home-wrecking novelty along the main
street, and now that 1t has been proper
ly presented there is no doubt it will
quickly become popular, at least in the
cabarets. "Blow smoke into my
mouth, Jim," leased the parlor worm
in the latest of Broadway's comedies
called "The Indestructible Wife"
"Jim," who happens to be the new hus-
band in the play, and somewhat Of a
lounge lizard" complied, whereupon
the parlor worm announced: II feel
so naughty this afternoon" So Jim
gave another demonstration of the
"puff, puff kiss for the benefit of the
blase first-nighters who took 1t with
them. And now the merry, merry girls
in cafes and other places having taken
it up, it is quite the proper thing to
blow smoke at them.-New York
Times.

DISLIKE THE TERM "HANDs'
British Writers Suggest Use Of "Work-
ers" to Designate the Toilers
of Both Sexes.

In England some object to shands,"
meaning "workmen" and wish the lat
ter term to be used. But what of WON.
en- now doing mems work for the same
pay? A London journal suggests
workers" as single term for both
sexes.
What is the objection to "hands?'
asks Philip Hale in the Boston Herald.
"Hand" and "hands" were used in ref
erence to an artist, musician, writer,
actor, as well as workman or work
woman. Thus Evelyn in 1914 spoke
of pictures in miniature painted by
rare hands. Later we read of "a
band of music consisting of the best
hands from the opera and both the
theaters."
Islands" for ''workmen" goes back
as far as 1865. In Olmstead's "Slave
States" we read: "The children be-
gin as quarter hands, advancing to
fhalf-hands' and then to 'three-quar-
ter hands, and finally to full hands,"
The late Mr.. Mundella objected to
r'hands" because the word indicated to
him the disappearance of the old rela-
tionship between master and man.
''We employ thousands. We do not
know their faces. They are hands
they are not men," Arnold Toynbee,
social economist, delighted in the term
because an employer now can buy only
the workman's ''hands;" "his life is
now his own, to be cherished as no
BILE independence"
The London Daily Chronicle speaks
of ''hands" as "Yankeeism." The
term has been used by Englishmen
from the middle of the seventeenth
century.

TESTED Tie DENTISTS WORK
Khedive Of Egypt Had Followers
4 Teeth Pulled So He Could See
Whether 1t Would Hurt.

J To Illustrate Oriental habits of
thought, Lord Cromer tells, in the
Quarterly Review, this story Of Ismatil
Pasha, the khedive of Egypt. 1t once
happened that Ismail was suffering
from toothache. He sent for Euro
pean dentist, who told him that he
ought to have the tooth out. Ismail
said that he was afraid it would be
very painful. He was informed in
reply that, if he would allow the dem
fist to administer laughing gas to him,
he would feel nothing. He still doubt
ed, but told the dentist to bring his
apparatus to the palace and he would
then discuss the question.
The dentist complied, and explained
the process to the khedive. Ismail then
summoned an attendant and told him
to send up the sentry who was at his
door.
When the man arrived the khedive
ordered him to sit down in chair,
and requested the dentist to take out
"a tooth on either side of his jaw.
iIsmail then asked the man whether
he had felt anything, and the man
told him that he had not. But Ismail
was not yet satisfied. He said that
the sentry was young, strong man,
and that he would like to see the ex-
pertinent tried on someone Of weaker
physique.
Accordingly he summoned slave
girl from the harem and had the dem
fist extract two Of her teeth. Find
ing that she did not show evidence of
extreme suffering, he then consented
to have his own tooth out. 1t is re-
lated, although possibly that part of
the story is apocryphal, that the dem
fist then received an order on the
Egyptian treasury for one thousand
pounds.

CITY Boy Hears Better.

Our recruiting officers have made an
interesting discovery in gaging the
relative fitness of city and country
boys for service in the army and navy.
according to the Popular Science
Monthly for February. City boys have
better cars.
From the Washington records Of the
Marine corps come the assertion that
only one boy in five among those re-
cruited in quiet neighborhoods has the
acuteness of hearing possessed by the
average dweller in noisy town. The
reflections ON the ground of defective
hearing were in the ratio OF five to one
In favor Of "city ears"
The surgeons and scientists assume
that the quiet Of country districts
tends to weaken, through disuse, the
nerves In the ear, while the constant
clamor of the city. really keeps the
aural nerves responsive.

THRIFT PATCH PRIZES
TO BOOST FOOD CROPS

Prizes to the amount Of $4,000 are
to be distributed among both the pro
fessional and amateur farmers Of this
State who are able to show this year
the greatest increase In food prOduc-
ton. While Maryland Is not one Of
the great wheat-growing States, recora
crops of other foods will, to a great
extent, meet our needs at home, and
thus ease the burden Of the wheat
growers who must supply our army
and our allies abroad. Patriotic do
nations to the Maryland Food Admin
istration have provided the where
withal for these rewards. Owing to
the vacation from his arduous duties
which Administrator Baetjer's doctors
have compelled him to take, the COM
plete details are not yet available for
publication, but they will very shortly
appear in the papers. They will have
an interest for every man, woman and
child who can handle hoe.
The hope Of the donors OF the prize
fund is to stir UP war gardeners to
still greater actions. There will be
prizes for the best farm or home gar
dens Of less than half an acre, and
another set Of prizes for farm gardens
Of over that size.
In the towns the thrift,plot scheme
has long passed out Of the joke stage
and is doing let to tide over the
food crisis which the war has brought
about In the country, another Joke
Is about to end Its days as laugh
producer-that which says a man
must go to the city to get the good
things the farmer grows. In the past
lot Of time, effort and money have
been spent by the farmer in buying
from town foodstuffs which he might
well grow at home. The chicken and
egg industry as by-product OF the
Maryland farms has put deal Of
money into the purse Of the farmers
wife. The development of this plan
for patriot-patches as another by-prod-
uct will not only put more money In
that purse, but will also save deal
besides, in providing the farm-table
with foods at little cost for which
many dollars are now being spent.
The whole scheme Is to mobilize the
food-producing potentialities Of this
State so as to get the biggest and best
results. Everybody who can work a
thrift-patch is urged to line up on the
mark now and SO be ready to "beat
the barrier" the minute the papers de-
clare the competition open. The win
ners will have Uncle Sans Liberty
Bonds, or some such reward for their
extra efforts and outstanding skill.

Bohemia Favored by Nature.

Nature has favored Bohemia per-
haps more than any other part of Eu-
rope. Its soil is so fertile and climate
so favorable that more than half of
the country is cultivated and produces
richly. In its mountains almost ev-
cry useful metal and mineral, except
salt, is to be found. 1t is the geo.
graphical center of the European con-
tinent, equally distant from the Bal
tic, Adriatic and North seas, and though
inclosed by mountains, is so easily ac-
cessible because of the valleys of the
Danube and Elbe rivers, that it served
as the avenue of many armies.

when Surgeon Washes His Hands.

DR.. r. r. Won Baracz, the eminent
Austrian surgeon, recommends in the
Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift
the following method of washing the
hands for surgeons before performing
operations or handling wounds. He
says he learned it from Doctor Weir
Of New York:
A handful of chloride of lime is
placed on one plate and some crystals
of ordinary soda on another After
carefully cleaning the hands with soap
and brush, soupspoonful of chloride
of lime and crystal of soda are taken
In the hands and crushed together with
a little water. This forms a paste on
the hands and requires three or four
minutes. The hands are then rinsed
in sterile water. The odor of the chlor'
Inc that is released can be removed
by ammonia water, I to per cent.
