A First.class Exhibition.

The Great Roman Arena and Royal
Show, under the management Of
Messrs. D. F. & +. T. Beggs, exhibited
on the lot at 4th and Lombard Sts.,
yesterday afternoon and evening. Both
entertainments were largely attended,
the audiences being very select and
appreciative. The performers are all
well and favorably known to the
amusement seekers of Wilmington, and
therefore need no commentator at our
hands. The entertainment is moral in
every particular, and in harmony with
the tastes of the most fastidious.
The difficult feats of the Gymnasts,
the dancing, singing, jugglery, &C.,
have never been surpassed by any ex.
hibitions that have visited this city.
Mr.. F. r. Beggs, business manager
and general director, fully understands
the art of catering to the public tastes
in this particular line of amusement,
and is a gentleman of integrity and
honesty.
The entertainment will probably be
repeated on Saturday afternoon and
evening, when several new features
will be added. The show will shortly
start on southern tour.

He Fired her down Stairs.

Alfred Spencer and his wife lives in
the classic neighborhood of Decatur
street. Last evening Mrs. Spencer un
dertook to impress upon boarder the
necessity of his paying up back dues
This boarder was particular friend Of
Alfred, and the demand of his wife was
looked upon by him not only as an as
sumption of household sovereignty but
a direct rupture of the demands Of
brotherly hospitality. From disputa-
ton about the matter, they got to quar-.
reling which by the way is a short cut
to a first class family convulsion. To
settle the matter Alfred took hold of his
wife and "fired" her down stairs. AL.
fred followed up the musical ker-bump.
ity-bump and when the rolling mass Of
kinky hair, black flesh and soiled ging-
ham arrived ut the bottom he sat down
upon her to keep her quiet and as a
persuasive administered sundry vigor-
GUS punches which had the desired ef-
feet. The wife gathered herself up and
repairing to the police station entered
suit and had the festive Alfred arrested.
This morning Alfred was arra;gned and
was compelled to pay 1915 for the little
domestic side show.

How to Save Glover Seed.


One of our best clover seed savers Is
just at our elbow, and he says: "Tell
them the second crop is for the seed, and
is really fit for no other purpose, as 1t
salivates the stock fed on 1t that the best
time to cut for seed is very nice point
to determine. It should be cut when
majority of the heads turn brown, and
before any begin to shed off the little
seed pods each of which contains a seed.
Cut the second crop of clover just as
though 1t were for hay, rake it into
wind-rows, and let 1t lie and take one or
two showers; then put 1t in very small
cocks while damp, about one good pitch
forkful in place, and when it is dry
put into stacks and cap with something
that will turn water; or what is still
better, if you have shed or barn, put it
there and let it remain until you get
huller to take it out for you. There are
hullers enough now in the State to hull
all the seed needed for home use, and
the owners of the hullers are willing
and anxious to go to any section where
work can be had. Let our farmers save
all the clover seed they can, and thus
help to make thousands of dollars for
the State, now sent out each year for clo-
verseed to SOW"

The Northeastern Lun,berman recon-

ing pine to represent black walnut: Put
pulverized asphaltum into bowl with
about twice its bulk of turpentine and
set where it is warm, shaking from time
to time until dissolved then strain and
apply with either cloth or stiff brush.
Try little first, and if the stain be too
dark, thin it with turpentine. If de-
sirable to bring out the grain still more,
give coat of boiled oil and turpentine.
When the wood is dry, polish with
mixture of two parts shellac varnish
and one part boiled oil. Apply by put
ting a few drops at Il time on cloth
and rubbing briskly over the wood.

Eg'A breeder of poultry says: Farmers
will feed bushel of corn to produce six
pounds of pork, while the same amount
of corn will keep,a good laying hen one
year, and she will produce at least
twelve dozen, eggs averaging eighteen
cents per dozen, which would equal two
dollars and sixteen cents; in addition
she would rear brood of chicks worth
as much more, making total of nearly
five dollars, against six pounds of pork
at ten cents, equalling sixty cents or,
in other words, the hen will yield seven
times as much for the feed.
