FANCY PRICES FOR FRUIT MAKE
NEGRO EASTERN SHORE MEN
PROSPEROUS AGAIN.


Baltimore. June ct begins to
look as if the Negroes Of the lower
Maryland counties and the Virginia
section Of the Eastern Shore are born
under lucky stars. Two years ago
they bought s. 600 automobiles out Of
their $1O-a- barrel potatoes. When the
slump came they had to let them go,
but now S10-a-Crate strawberries en-
able them to buy back, in many cases
tho same cars.
This is the tale that Chief Deputy
Collector Of Internal Revenue Lewis
NJ. Milbourne brings back with him
from the Eastern shore, where he
has spent few days looking after
his farming and canning interests.
1t will be remembered that two
years ago, when potatoes were bring

Cause of Seasickness.

1t has been established to the salts
faction of scientists who have made a
study of it that seasickness is caused
by abrupt disturbances of the static
sense, whereby we are enabled to
maintain our proper position in space,
the location of which is in the ear.
These abrupt disturbances consist Of
violent oscillations of the fluid con-
tanned In the semicircular canals of
the ear. The fluid is banged against
one end of the canals and then the
other by the irregular movements Of
the ship; the effect of this Earring
and banging is telegraphed to the
brain and nervous system by delicate
nerve filaments and results in the
various obnoxious symptoms which
we group under the name Of seasick
ness.

First Medical COLLEGE,

The first medical college in the
western part of the United States was
Rush Medical college, founded in Chi
cago in 1897 by DR.. Daniel Brainard,
who was born in WhitesbOrough, N.
Y, 100 years ago, May 10, 1872. Rush
college commentaries the name Of
DR.. Benjamin Rush, who was born
near PHILADELPHIA, of Quaker parent
age In 1745, according to the Indian
apOlis News. Doctor Rush served as
an apprentice to Philadelphia ply
stefan for six years and then com
pleted his medical education in Edin-
burgh, London and Paris. He was a
Signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, one Of the founders of the
first American antislavery society and
the greatest physician Of his day. Dur
ing the yellow fever scourge in Phila-
delphia, in 1893, he visited more than
100 patients daily.

KNEW NOTHING OF COMFORT
Citizens of the Middle Ages Lived In
What Today Would Properly
Be Called Pigstyes.

In following the evolution of homes
from those of ancient times to those of
the Middle ages we are forced to the
conviction that in this, as in other
matters Of culture, there was a decid-
ed retrograde movement. The medic
val home certainly left much to be de-
sired both in the way of art and COM
fort. Despite this fact it is regarded
by many as the ideal house, and, in
deed, is the starting point of our own
present system.
The truth is, that in the face of the
snowy effect of the knights retinue, of
his feasts and banquets and the richly
adorned apparel of the lords and la
dies; despite the spacious halls and
colossal edifices, we are constrained
to believe that life in the homes of
those days was nothing less than de-
plOrable.
Apparently there is ample reason
for belief that the home in its arrange.
ment was barely habitable and that its
ornamental furniture was not espe-
cially artistic.
1t tends to take away much of the
studied romance of those times when
we consider that in the halls of the
Anglo-SaXons and other Germanic
tribes the people oftentimes slept upon
the same benches where they previ-
Ously had eaten. In cold weather they
gathered around a fire kindled upon a
hearth in the middle OF the baronial
hall, where for want of chimney the
smoke filed the room until it finally
escaped through accidental holes in the
roof or through open doors and win

The Tourmaline.

The crystal, tourmaline, is capable
OF attracting small bits of paper and
straw in much the same way as am
Der. This attraction is, of course, due
to an electrostatic charge.
When the crystal is exposed to sun
light of a low temperature it loses its
electrical charge, but regains it upon
being heated again. If it has a mega
tive charge at first, it will have a
positive charge when 1t is reheated,

A piserepaneY.

Honey and Dear were married and
went to visit Honey's parents in a lit
tie country town for their honeymoon.
When Sunday came they went to
church-of course. Honey was not
particularly interested in the services,
but he managed to stay awake. When
the collection baskets started around
he reached into his pocket and brought
forth A nice, new, bright, shiny penny.
Dear caught a glimpse of it.
"Oh, Honey, was it So you put in2"
Eyes, Dear" Honey answered, and
congratulated himself on establishing
a reputation for generosity so cheaply.
Just before the benediction the parson
arose and announced:
1.-THE collection for the morning to-
tailed S4.37."
Married life was off to flying start.

CURIOUS OLD GHOST STORIES
Napoleon's Visit to His Mother One
of Many That Are Without AIDE
quate Exclamation.

Two curious ghost stories connected
with Napoleon's death century ago
at st. Helena are told. The first was
the emperor's vision Of his dead wife,
Josephine. Some days before his own
death he told MOntholOn, who was one
of his suite: II have just seen my dear
Josephine, but she would not embrace
me she tore herself away when tried
to take her in my arms. She sat over
there, where l thought saw her yes"
terday. She has not changed. always
the same always entirely devoted to
me. She told me that we were about
to meet once more, never to part
again" 1t was noted that her name
was the last word he uttered when he
died.
The second, which Is even stranger,
is an account of person closely re-
sembling Napoleon in appearance and
gesture who visited NapOleon's moth
er in Rome about the very hour of the
day when he died in st. Helena. The
stranger spoke of Napoleon to her as
if he had just quilted him, and added;
AT this moment he is delivered from
his sufferings; he is happy
NapOleon's mother at once spoke to
those about her of this visitor, who
was seen by three other persons m her
palace, and search was made in Rome
for anyone resembling him, without re-
suit. She herself was convinced that
it was the wrath of Napoleon. There
was nothing terrifying in the vision-if
it was a visiOn-but on the contrary, it
produced in her a kind of ecstasy. She
declared that the mysterious person
'was like Napoleon in voice, figure
and speech"

sion again TO change traffic signals
for autoists.
The new regulations are the same
as those of Davenport and provide
that when drivers intend to turn
TO the right they shall hold their

ing to the left the arm is to be hald
straight out and before stopping
the arm must be held downward.

considerably less confusion in Civ
ing the right signals.

RACKACHE OF WOMEN.

The back is often called the
handspring of a woman's life. What
can she do, where can she go, so
long as that deadly backache saps
every particle of her strength and
ambition? She cannot walk. she
cannot stand, her homework is a
burden. or the long hours behind
the counter, in the ONCE or factory
are crushing. She is miserable.
The cause is many times some de-
rangement Of her system. and back
ache is a common symptom. Lydia

is a reliable remedy for backache.
