Aaron Longstreet Duyckinck
March z, 1852
December IS, 1881

OF horace Holden ana Emily Long
street Duyckinck, was born at Lam
ington, Somerset county, New
Jersey, and brought to Maryland
when he was four months old. His
father quickly became one of the
leading citizens of Cecil county; his
mother, woman of remarkable
qualities, was cousin of James
.Longstreet, a distinguish Confeder-
ate General in the Civil War. Mr..
Duyckinck was educated in the
Public Schools of Cecil county and
at>West Nottingham Academy.
AS a young man of % he establish
ed A. L. Duyckinck and Company,
shippers of hay and grain at Rising
Sun. He founded his business on
the sound principle, that honesty
and square dealings is not only the
best, but only policy with which to
succeed. He had a keen business
sense, and soon won the trust and
confidence of the people of Rising
Sun and the surrounding communi-
ties, and his firm grew to be one of
the most successful in the county.
From the beginning he was interest
ed in the people and the prosperity
of Rising Sun. He was Vice Presi-
dent of the National Bank of Rising
Sum-.
For many years his advice was
sought by his fellow citizens, and no
earnest and honest seeker was ever
turned away. He was quick to de-
tect selfishness, dishonesty, shams,
and would have no part in them.
But the welfare of his fellow citizens !
and his community were always on
his heart, and commanded for him
the respect of the entire countryside.
For 80 years he served as Ruling
Elder (having been elected in 1892
and for many years as Trustee
of West Nottingham Presbyterian
Church, into which he put the same
interest and energy that he put into
his business. The Service of his
Master and His Church was never
considered work; it was a privilege
and joy. AS in his business, so in
church, he had reputation for get
ting things done. In him his Pastor
always had a sympathetic and ener-
getic co-worker, loyal friend and
wise counselor.
The pressure of business and the
call of many other interests never
superseded those of his home. AS
husband and father he commanded
the highest respect and deepest love
of every member of his family and
household. Their interests were his
interests. His welcome of friends
and neighbors always put them i'm
mediately at ease. His cordially and
evident Joy at their presence made
the warmth of his home a thing to be
sought after and cherished.
God blessed him wonderfully in
his choice of a wife, Willamina M.
Read, with whom he was united in
marriage in January 1879. Heavens
blessing on their union brought them
three children: Horace M. and Emily
Mrs. Stewart M. Ward) of Rising
SIM, and Mabel (Mrs. w. P. B. Lock-
; wood of West Newton, Mass, who
with Mrs. Duyckinck, cherish the
: loving memory of their associations
with him, and their appreciation of
his qualities. Mrs. Margaret D. Pen
nell, of Little Britain Towdship, sur
wives him.
Aaron Longstreet Duyckinck was
,, christian gentleman
who at all times and everywhere
gave his strength to the weak,
His substance to the poor,
, His sympathy to the suffering,
!, His heart to God"

Your Home and You
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

Most Americans nowadays take
liberal water supply rather for granted.
1t is hard to imagine what house
keeping would be like if water used for
clothes washing, dish washing, scrub
bing and bathing had to be carried in
pals from a stream or well. We have
water in abundance and we use it lib
orally, but are still not so liberal in
the use of this greatest of all cleansers
as we might be- And we do a lot of
busting and polishing and scraping and
brushing that would be unnecessary or
great deal easier if we took advan-
tage of the cleansing powers of plenty
of water.
In making plans for your Spring
cleaning make up your mind to use all
the water you can. Everything in the
house that cannot be injured by water
should be washed. Small bed room
rugs, for instance. can all be washed
in soap and warm water, and there is
no better way of cleaning Oriental rugs
than by gently scrubbing with soapy
water. Painted furniture can be
washed to advantage, providing it IS
carefully and promptly dried after
ward; and even polished furniture is
benefited by the water treatment, pro-
viding it is dried and rubbed with oil
afterward. The best possible way of
cleaning wicker furniture is to give it

-MBROIDERY which can be done

- MBROIDERY which can be done
l. in the shortest possible time Is
the kind which appeals to
IL women in this era of rush and
excitement. 1t would be diff
cult to combine this desirable element
with artistry to better advantage than
in the needleWork described today, and
especially in it's relation to the design
pattern offered, which is the exclusive
pattern made by the artist in Italy,
that great home of needle art.
The Stitchery is a revival OF
medieval needlecraft which, in its mod
ern adaptation, is worked on founda-
ton which is sufficiently good looking
to be left visible. In the antique work
both design and background are COW
efed completely with these straight
vertical stitches. You will note that In
alternate rows stitches begin one thread
higher than in those between them. AS
al stitches are of equal length, this ar
rangement supplies distinction without
interfering in any way with the eX-
treme simplicity Of the work.
Every stitch is taken over three ver-
teal squares of canvas or other textile
in which there is a clearly defined
square weave. Heavy scrim can be used
for table scarfs and curtains. The ma
terial when soft should be put in an
embroidery frame when it is worked.
Draw the embroidery medium as tight
as the weave of the textile, but no
tighter, as it will then lie fiat and
even.
When the weave of the textile Is not
such that squares are easily counted on
it, baste a piece of cross stitch canvas
over the piece where the embroidery is
to go and work through it and the
foundation. Cut and pull away the
canvas when this smart work is COM
pleted.
Use a heavy embroidery medium for
this vertical needlework, which is chiefly
in outline, although latitude is allowed
as found in the basket and the foliage.
The entire design can be in one color,
thus silhouetting the work against the
unworked foundation. Black or any
preferred color which is in artistic con-
trast to the foundation can be used, ex-
cept on sheer curtains.
If the design is used on hangings of
heavier material, color contrasts are de-
sirable. When used on filet net, the

Business Experience.

1--WE tried for few weeks to secure
employment" writes a reader, land in
every instance have been turned down
because I lack experience. Isn't there
some way woman can gain enough
business experience to earn a living?
I know of other women who have the
same problem as 1 and it is not an easy
one"
Every woman uninitiated into the
business world faces the same dilemma
when she seeks her first work for a
living" Unequipped with experience,
she finds it extremely difficult to obtain
any but menial positions. Often such a
woman is discouraged, too discouraged
to seek a way out of her predicament.
Instead of advising such a woman
pointlessly to get experience" it is ad-
viSable to suggest to her that she ques-
ton others as to how they gained their
experience. In an office. she will learn
that one woman was trained at a buSi-
ness school and secured her first job
through the school. Another began at
filing until she became familiar with
business records and was installed in a
clerkShip.
In other words, there are only two
means of acquiring experience. One is
to accept a subordinate position and
learn slowly. The other way is to &C
quire training in class room that will
supplant the need of experience. In
some instances the latter way is not
feasible In any case, the woman pre-
pared to do a certain JOB, regardless Of
what it may be, is better situated to
obtain employment than the woman
who will do anything, but knows how
to do nothing.
Selling experience is to be had in
department stores. ANY woman of nor
NAL intelligence and neat address can
secure clerks job in a store. It is a
good introduction to salesmanship. 1t

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
Story of the Alphabet.

A4N IN
TN days gone by I have told about
ancient writing, but have given
little mention to the alphabet.
i Since we use the alphabet in all
our writing, 1t is important to
know about it.
The name alphabet" arose from two
Greek letters-"alpha" and beta, >"
equal to our letters "a" and 'b." We
sometimes talk about our "a, b, cS" and
from the same idea grew the name
"alpha-beta," "alphabeta" and then
alphabet"
The Greeks, however, did not invent
the alphabet. They were told about
it by Phoenician sailors. who had
learned from the Egyptians.
For long time people in Egypt used
picture-words when they wanted to
write. They made a circle with dot
in the middle as the word sun" They
made wavy lines for the word water"
That was very well for some words,
but other words were not easy to pic
ture. If you were asked to make a
picture of the word good" how would
you go about it?
The first alphabet in Egypt was
made up of pictures.
Could you make up picture alphabet
of your own? AS the first letter you
might use a picture Of IN apple, stand
ing for "a For "b'' you might show
a ball, for &C" a cat, for ID a dog,
and so on. If you like to use codes or
words with the help Of pictures.
People in Egypt used three different
pictures for the letter "a"-an eagle,
a reed and a hand These stood for
the long, short and sharp sounds of
the letter.

to the ground, and contains from four
to five blush white, evenly speckled or
spotted eggs.
The babies are streaked and are
very difficult to find, as they move
about in the grass. They soon take on
the markings of their parents. All
iuncos have heavy, pinkish bills
adapted to seed hunting. 1t is when
the food supply is covered with snow or
is very scarce that they ask aims at
your door.
These birds should have protection.
They help to keep down the weeds that
try to crowd out worthwhile vegetation,
and they eat millions of fuzzy cater
r7la~s, worms. grubs and insect eggs.
While his "tsip," is heard more often
than his sweet little song, the cheerful
little bird wins the love of all who
know him.

n 70 matter how bad the weather
is, the junco or snowbird comes
NJ along to cheer you with his
simple little trillS and call
notes. Early in the Spring
the birds leave to WOO and mate in the
woods of the north. Then again IN
November each returns with his family,
and if you nave been friendly ana
furnished him with canary seeds, ne
comes to your yard and chirpS a cherry
announcement as much as to say
Come out and meet the family"
When the frost is in the air and
Winter is upon us, then great fiocks OF
the sncwbirds appear. They are trim
and clad in gray. Miss Florence Mer-
riam calls them little gray-robed
monks and nuns" They have dark
heads and white vests, with several
white tail feathers, seen only during
flight. They are about the size OF the
English sparrow
They have happy dispositions and are
good mixers. They do not hesitate to
accept hospitality offered them at the
back door, and willingly share the plate
with Towser. Canary seed is especially
appreciated, and when a bird has
found feast spread before him, the
members of his family are urged by a
signal from his tail to hasten and join
him.
When going on a long journey, all
the leaders have to do is to give the tail
g special jerk and not a word need be
spoken. This is one of the best known
forms of sign language in birddom.
When frightened one calls, "tsip." The
junco eats the seeds OF weeds and is
overjoyed to find caterp1llars and other
harmful insects.
AS Spring approaches, the little gray
visitors hold long conversations. 1t is
a musical twittering and seems to have
a lot to do about their coming trip.

leave us. Even as far as the tree limits
of Alaska these little flyers go to be

For ''b" the Egyptians made a pic
ture of leg or a crane, for ''p" q
square, for "a triangle, for "r" an
open mouth.
The name of each figure began with
a sound like the letter for which it did
service. The Egyptian picture for the
"l' sound was lion and their name
for lion was "labo" That is one case
in which their picture would be all
right for us to use if We made up a
