A WARNING.

The modes of death approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs that any other. 1t
is probable that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head i,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is dan
gerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness /; allowing cold to
go without attention is dangerous and
may lose your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bot
tie of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

kiss THE BOOK.n-In the courts
of many States, a witness is sworn to
tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the TRUTH" with his hand
upon a copy of the Bible, and after
this the book is presented for him to
kiss. In other States. the Bible is not
made use of, at least not unless one of
the lawyers thinks that on account of
the religion of the witness 1t will add
to the sanctity of his oath. At trial
in Newark, n. j., not long ago, DIR.
Drescher, State Analyst - of New
Jersey, was witness, on being sworn,
made only preteXt of touching his
lips to the soiled volume. After the
lawyers had made their arguments,
the counsel for the opposite side rails
ed the point that the DOCTORS oath
was invalid, as he had Intentionally
avoided kissing the bOok.u The
doctor admitted that he was afraid to
touch his lips to book that had been
kissed by so many others, for fear that
disease might be communicated, say
ing that he ibid not think it safe to
touch his lips to it.n The judge or
dered the case to be re-opened; the
doctor gave the soiled cover of the
Sacred Book sounding smack and
then vigorously scrubbed his lips with
his handkerchief. On the few occa-
sions when the writer has been wit
ness in court, he has asked of the
judge that he might . affirm" instead
of swearing as he preferred to not
take any bacteria or microbes with his
oath. 1t is violation not only of
personal rights but of proper sanitary
regulations to compel one to place his
lips In contact with so foul thing as
the binding of a court Bible.-Anaeri-

A special from Pocomoke City says: The
pleasant weather that has existed for the
past week has been most favorable for the
progress of work in this fre-stricken town,
aud due advantage has been taken Of it. The
merchants, who were the principal losers by
the disaster, fully realize that a suspension
however brief works great injury to bust
ness, and accordingly structures of all kinds
are springing up throughout the entire burnt
district for their accommodation. The ma
jority of these buildings are rude affairs little
better than shanties, but Of course little in
the way of permanent building can be done
before the spring. Several merchants an
nounce that they will be ready for business
in their new quarters within a few days. The
most pretentious temporary building is being
constructed by ]. H. Nussill, clothier, on Will
low street, and will be ready for occupancy
very shortly. The publication of the Record
aud Gazeffe, a Prohibition organ which was

The people of the town have not even yet
recovered from the great shock occasioned
by the FIRE, and an alarm Of fire being given
few evenings ago the people were almost
panic-stricken- This turned out to be moth

The Agricultural Station.

At the consultation on Monday in VIII
mintgou between Dr. A. T. Neale, director Of
the Delaware Agricultural Experimental
Station and the committee on agriculture OF
Delaware College, the following was deter
mined upon as the basis ofthe initial exper-
iments: Field experiments planned by the
station but carried out by the farmers on
their own lands In testing the agricultural
value ofthe different elements ofplant foods,
which are usually mixed to form the so-called
composite fertilizers. In testing various
fodder plants which may be found Of value
in the different sections Of Delaware. In
testing the different varieties of fruits which
may be grown to advantage in the State.
The introduction among the farmers of the
State of the system Of cattle feeding already
thoroughly tested in Europe. Testing the
vitality and purity Of seeds. The study of
various fruits, vegetables, cereals and grasses,
aud their adaptability to the soil and climate
Of Delaware. The Breeding of new varieties
Of plants by selection. The cross fertiliza-
ton Of plants.
The study of insects, both beneficial and
injurious. The practical application Of va
riOus insecticides.
The practical application of germicides,
both as preventives and remedies for dis
eases of plants The study Of plant dis
cases. especially peach yellows," and the
remedies to be applied.
Every thing possible is to be done to
make the station work practical in its nature
for the benefit Of the farmers of the State; in
general, the work will be such, as the farm-
ers cannot do for themselves nor afford 10
pay for personally. The work will be adapted
to all parts of the State. All important
questions involving the interests of the ag-
ricultural public will be carefully examined,
and, if possible thoroughly investigated.
The farmers are earnestly invited to send in
such questions. They are also invited to
send for the bulletins and reports of the sta
tion work, which are sent free to all who ask
for them. The second bulletin is to be is
sued soon after January Ist, when DR.. Neale
assumes the entire control of the Office.

IN opposing the election of Mr.. Hig-

position because Of disrespect. or per-
sOnal knowledge of incapaeity; but
do so simply because we believe it is
for the best interest of the State, and
that the leaders of factions cannot har-

It may work together and carry the

COMMUNICATION.

wish to speak through your paper to the
teachers and all others having direct con-
troll of public schools in Sussex county and
say that there are no permits now granted
authorizing persons to teach a certain time
without certificates. During the last eigh-
teen months, there have been so many ap-
plications made for permits, that it is deemed
proper and necessary to inform all persons
seeming not to be conyersant with the law
that it makes no provision for permits, and
that it has been, and is still, entirely useless
for commissioners or teachers to make any
effort to secure them.
I wish to state, also, that no private exam
nations are granted, except to teachers uu-
avoidably hindered from attending the regu-
lar examination. Jas. H. WARD.
