LIE PATH.

The PATH.
TT WINDS its way along the shaded hill.
Disdainsng distance. seeking only
ease.
It turns aside to llnger by a rill.
II climbs a slope 10 rest beneath the
trees
Or breathe the perfume of Summer
breeze.
Here time is nothing. haste thing un-
known
The hot. straight highway for the craze
OF speed;
The path is made for them who walk
Whose God is Nature. and the woods
their creed.
To follow blindly where the path may
lead
Nor north nor south nor east nor west
II tends.
1t dips to kiss the pool where lilies grow.
II rises joyously where Ivy bends
And meets in fond embraces with its
friends.
Through brooding branches and embroid-
cred leaves
The sunshine filters in golden rain.
Transforms the tufted weeds 10 shining
sheayes,
The tangled grass to waving harvest
grain.
The marshy muskeg to a purple plain.
This is a path OF velvet from the loom
OF droning Summer. Never human
hand
wove such a pattern. bright with rose
abloom
Along its border. Never artist planned
hrfi
land.
Now princes leave their castles. kings
their thrones.
And unattended walk these sylvan
aisles.
They pause to muse beside this heap OF
stones
More beautiful than all the granite piles
Reared with slow labor on their ample
miles.
Sweet. solemn splendor of the silent wood,
More dear you are than all the haunts
OF men:
For rover mortal in your presence stood
And listened TO the whisper of the glen
But songs forgotten sang to him again.
Perhaps Il is his mothers voice he hears,
The faint re-echo of her cradle Groom
That sends him cropping down the ended
years
To find some ong-discarded boon,
To find again some long departed June.
Then. by the magic of the shade and sun.
OF tree and rose and brook and verdant
sod,
This world shall seem to be that other
one
Where feet walk never. yet where souls
have trod--
And he shall hold communion with MS
God.

Ideal Health Certificate.

A very comprehensive form of
health certificate is proposed for use
in Germany. .says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. If adopted, it would form
n record of the health of each indi-
vidual at any stage of life. and at
death would furnish a complete his
tory of that individuals whole phys
ical life. This record would constitute
a single health certificate. in which
would be combined the certificate of
birth, OF vaccination. the health re
ports OF school medical examiners.
and In later life the reports of health
insurance societies. In which all Ger
mans in industrial life are registered.
The result would be of value. during
the life of the individual, in furnish
ing any attending physician with q
complete family history; and after
death. these certificates would be col
lected in central bureau. where they
would furnish material for the study
of heredity.

SPEED INCREASES WITH AGE
Astronomers Have Found That the
Older Star Is the Faster 1t
Can Travel.


One of the most interesting of recent
discoveries in connection with astron-
omy is that the older a star grows,
The faster does it move.
A star, like an express train, takes
time TO get up speed.
In the case of the train. however, 1t
is matter of few minutes only /;
with star ii Is millions OF years.
The speed of the fastest star is about
three hundred miles per second. This
celestial racer is Invisible with the
naked eye. hut has number of other
means of identification for the con-
venience of astronomers.
1t has been found that the average
velocity of faint stars is much greater
than that of brighter ones. Twenty
eight faint ones have been found to
have an average velocity of 1873 miles
per second. whilst the speed of nine
very bright ones averaged only eighty
miles per second.
Judged from the standard of speed.
our own sun--which would appear as
star il It was far enough away from
us-is a comparative infant. Its speed
Is only about twelve miles per second.

HAVE PASSION FoR JEWELRY
Strange White Tribe in Northern
Africa Literally Weigh Themselves
Down With Silver.

A strange white people. with craze
for jewelry that surpasses that OF
even the orientals. has been discov-
cred in the depths OF Algeria, deep
in the heart of the mountains in north
ern Africa. These people are called
"White Arabs" and are known as
"Shawai Berbers" by neighboring
tribes. European scientists believe
they are descendants OF an ancient
white people who fled TO these hills
during times of trouble long ago.
During a certain ceremony which
marks the end of the winter season
all the young women and girls bor-
row from old relatives every bit of
jewelry they can obtain. and appear
literally weighted down with silver.
The native jewelers. cast silver as
well as beat ont bars, and make some
charming pieces. Their silver chains
are the envy of the Arabs. Suspicious
customers often bring their own sill
yer to the jeweler and watch him
make pieces they order.
One of the most astonishing bits of
jewelry they wear is a set of ear
rings so heavy that they cannot be
held by the ears alone. Silver chains
are attached to them and fastened TO
the headgear to help carry the weight.
Another fayorlte bit OF jewelry is a
silver case In which is carried writ
ten charm to keep away sickness and
sorrow.

HAVE ORCHESTRA IN CHURCH
Picturesque Feature Of Place ef Wcr-
ship Noted by Traveller in Old
English Village.

A picturesque feature of the Sunday
service in many parts of the old world
is the survival of the orchestra. writes
David Berry in the London Daily
News.
Ia many village chapels OF Primitive
Methodist persuasion the old hymns
are still sung with a combination Of
vocal and instrumental vigor that
makes town singing seem anemic in
comparison.
Il recently visited a village chapel
OF one story, nesting at the foot Of
one Of the downs" he says. "Its re-
moteness from the madding crowd
may be judged from the fact that even
after the great war for freedom, 1t
still observes an arbitrary old condi-
tion in its lease requiring the morn
ing service To end before that in the
established church begins.
The unusually large congregation
numbered some 80 souls. But the
volume Of sound when the cornet, har-
monium and piccolo reached crescendo
pitch in leading the equally lusty sing
ing was out of all proportion to the
size of the edifice.
.'In competition with the two more
robust instruments, the piccolo could
scarcely be heard, but occasionally he
stole a note in front at the opening
Of verse. One could not blame the
player for an evident desire to be
heard somehow. Otherwise his efforts
would have been completely sub
merged by the swelling strains of the
harmonium. Still less could he have
stood a chance when the cornet, with
its powerful blast, triumphed over all.
Il left the building with conviction
that the little village chapel knows
how TO make joyful noise, but still
entertain some misgivings as to the
life of its roof"

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

At the head of this column APP
pears the ticket which the Demo
cratic party in Annapolis will pre-
sent to the voters for their cleo
ton on July llth Taken alto
gether: it is ticket which justi-
fes the support OF all party men
and women; and at the same time
every unaffiliated voter can sup
port it with every reason to be-
lieve that its election would be
best for the city
There has been considerable
discussion recently about the de
STABILITY of a non-partisan ticket.
and there is some force in the
suggestion: but, when all is said
and done, the surest way to get
results in public service is through
party organization. w h t h r
these results are good, bad or in
different depends on the charac-
ter of the organization and the
product of its efforts. In the pres
ent instance. without rejecting at
all on the personnel of the Re
publican ticket. it can be safely
said that the character and con-
stituency of the Democratic party
in Annapolis are such that il un-
questionably represents the body
of citizens who naturally ought to
rule. And in fact. this class. rep
resented through the Democratic
party. has ruled continuously
throughout the city's history. ex-
cept for an isolated term or so at
long intervals, due to abnormal
conditions.
Therefore, when the leading
party in local affairs comes for
ward with a list OF nominees that
are truly representative of that
party. and without even the neceS-
sity of primary contest to deter
mine its choice. the presumption
at once arises that these nominees
are worthy of general support.
The nominees on the present tick
ct fully meet the test. More
than that. the ticket is above the
average and one that offers bright
hope OF a betterment of local con
ditions. ! 1t is encouraging also.
from party standpoint, to see on

FARM WIFERY.

THE famous land army of women
L who took to agriculture under
the stress of war demands is now dis
banded. Some of IT'S work was re-
markably good, some of it very poor,
as is the case with most mundane
things. But one interesting fact is
noted. This Is that women seem to
do better with animals than men.
Women are especially valuable with
fine high-grade, expensive stock. They
IRE willing to mother the young, to
take world of trouble to save an all
ing calf or lamb or chicken or turkey,
or to nurse sick adult animal. They
work with more affection for their
charges than is the rule with men.
And affection appears to be an ex-
cellent commercial factor. Farm wife
ry pays.
Many girls are beginning to take
courses in the various agricultural
schools and colleges all over the coun-
try With a real ambition to take up
some form of farming. Advice from
responsible sources seems TO indicate
the ACCESSIBILITY of their specializing
on animal raising. Small sheep farms,
fancy poultry, blooded cattle will
prove paying fields. Girls who are
well-trained in such matters. and who
have a liking for the work, can look
forward to success.
But an important development that
may he helped by judicious advertis-
Ing and education Is the employment
of women instead of men in large es-
adjustments that are given to the
raising of fine breeds on a large scale.
Once the women have proved their
worth in such positions they will find
ii an interesting and profitable profess
sion.

Never say gent" say gentleman"
The word ''pants," as an abbrevia.
