GO@D RECOMMEDATIONS.
And the Reasons the Grand Jury Had
fer Making Them,
The Grand Jury at the present
term of court made the usual in-
gpection of county buildings, the
reso1ds ip county officer, &., all
of which were reported in good
condition and order. They re-
ported that the Home for the
Aged and [fnfirm was ina better
condition thau it had been for
years, but made some recommen
dations that would add to the
safety and comfort of the inmates.
These were: First, that two street
lamps be placed in the yard at
the Home ; Second, that a farm
bell be placed on the premises;
Third, that Miss Riltie Bailey, a
young insane inmate ot the Home
be sent to the asylum.
Mr. L- A. Mayo, Foreman of
the jury, Landed us these reasons
upon which the recommenda
tions Of the jury were based.
1. The need of two larps in
the yard of the Home for the
Aged and Infirm 1s obvious to
every person acquainted with the
Home, its occupants and sar
,vuvndings. There are a3 all times
intirm inmates who are more or
jess aomented, uid who are at
times disposed, the Overseer says,
to roam adoutthe yard at night,
groping theic way io the: dark.
~they are liable to fall and injure
themselves, besides giving the
Overseer considerabie trouble to
tind them and ges them back to
their rooms.
Avother reason for this recom
!
mendation is that corrupt persons |
take advantage of the darkness to
goon the premises with impure
motives, and hiding in the shades
of night defy the efforts of the
Overseer to detest them ; whereas,
if the yard was lighted, any one
entering the premises could te
seen. ~The protection of the i0-
mates snd the property demand
that the lamps bé put up. |
2. The reason for recommend
no way to give an alarm if fire :
shouid occur in any of the. bnild-
ings or avy thing arises to need
his immediats presence. If the
Commissioners do not furrish
the bell the county may some
day sustain the loss of this prop-
erty. It would be appalling
should fire occur there and get be
yond control. The buildings are
near together, and in addition to
the danger to tuem,a number of
ihe inmates are 80 afflicted as to
be powerless to get out of the
buildings without assistance and
might be burned to death.
3. They recommended that
Miss Rillie Bailey be sent to the
insane asylum bscause such an
institution is deemed the proper
place for her- If under the treat-
ment patients receive at the asy-
lum she could be cured, it is in-
human to keep her contined in the
County Home, to eke out the
remainder of her life there. A
few months proper treatment
might restore her mind and eén-
able her to care for herself and
epjoy life as other people.

SIGNS. AND OMENs.
Do public men believe in signs
nd omens? sis a question
sore often discussed, but no
ive answer can be, or, at

omay be drawn from indi-
dual cases. On ths occasion of

oNo,� the new m~nister answer-
ed. oI do not recognize any dif-
ference between Friday aud the
other days of the week; I don't
believe that it can have the slight
est possible influence in deter
mining the issue of an enterprise
projected or begun on that day.
In tact," he continued, in a con-
templative mood, oI think I am
not given to guiding my actions
by any sign or omen. Ouly to-
day, coming down to the Capitol,
my companion saw a funeral pro-
cession coming up the avenue,
eyidently bound for Oak Hill
Cemetary, Georgetown. Suid he:
oSenator, letTs turn off here so as
to avoid meeting 1t You know
its dangerous.� I said to him:
Lock up the avenue. There are
at least a thousand people in
sight, many of whom must una
yoidably meet the prvcession.
Before it reaches Georgetown it
will have met hundreds of people.
Do you believe that ail of them
are to be afflicted with sudden
death because of the presence of
this funeral processivun in their
way? I don't, aud we won't
change ourroute. And wedidnTt.
oThere are some old saws,� the
ex-Senator went on to say, othat
haye a basis of souuad reason, or
had, for their existence, which
way not be generally known.
That one which gues: ~It is uu
fortunate to meet a lad~ when
starting on a journey, is based on
@ very good reason. Ladies are
so attractive that the woald-be
traveller is likely to be beguiled
into a conversation with the one
he may meet on his way to the
station, which will prevent him
from reaching there in time to
to take his train or boat, and he
is thereby delayed, probably to
his embarrassment or loss.
Therefore, it may be unfortunate
for s traveller to meet a lady in
those circumstances.
oThere is another that has a
historic and philasuphic basis"
oto put oneTs sock on wrongside

| bad its origin in the olden times,
before the modern conveniences
of gas and. electric lighting
were added to the appliances of
home and hotel life. Therefore,
the man who rose early in the
morning, before daylight, and
dressed himself, not stopping to
discoyer whether or not his hose
was strictly in order, bezanse of
the diligence implied i in that ac-
tion, was often enabled to score

that he was likely to be caught

er in the shape of injury from
robbers or damages or delay
through bad roads, was almost cer-
tain to befall the traveller.
oBut that simple signs or

things can affect oneTs intereste,

WHEN CUPID REIGN
tle God Is Supreme.
A singular and ancient custom
December every year in the little
Belgian city of Arton. This is the
celebrated St. Nicholas festival, and
fts counterpart is probably impossi-
ble to find in any other country.
Peasants, male and female, enter:
the city in the early morning, all
dressed in their holiday dress and
all bent on being -married. The
youog men and women march up
and down the market place, and as
soon as a young peasant sees the
girl for whom he has a liking he in-
vites her into.one of the many
cabarets or cafes that surround the
market, and here the agreement and
conditions for the marriage are
talked over.
The young peasant is always at-
tended by an important personage
This per-
son plays a most important part,
and without bim no marriage could
be arranged. This man enjovs the
confidence of both parties; he knows
the qualifications of every young
peasant and how wuch of a marriage
portion each girl is provided with.
It is he who does the ~talking for
both parties, and if an agreement is
entered into and a wedding is the
result, he receives a certain part of
the wedding portion, a new high hat
and a pairof boots. As long as the
consultation between the two fam-
ilies, commenced at the festival,
continues, the spokesman has a good
time. Ie is entitled to the best of
food and drink, aud if he suceessful-
ly carries out th2 negotiations he is
the dirst ove to be invited to the
wedding.
As soon as the couple are cayaged,
which must be-done b-fore the
festival is over, the: custom is for
| pipe and a packaze of tobaces.

A Story of Mascagni.
The Philadelphia Record tells a
good story of Mascagni, the com-
poser. During his recent visit in
~London, while in his room ata hotel,
he heard. an organ-grinder play the
intermezzo from ~Cavalleria Rus-
ticana.TT The man playing the piece
entirely too fast exasperated Mas-
cagni, and descending into the street
the composer addressed the oryan-
ist, saying: ~~You play entirely too
fast. Let me. show you how it
ought tobe played.T ~~And who are
you?� asked the wandering minstrel.
ooT happen to be the. composer of the:
| piece,� replied Mascagni, and then
he played the intermezzo for the as-
tonished organ-yrinder in the cor-
rect tempo. Imagine MascagniTs
surprise when on the following aay
he saw the same organ-grinder in|
front of his house with a placard on
the organ, on which was inscribed
in large letters: ~~Pupil of Mas-
