Cape May Point

There arc probably larger number OF
Wilmingtonians congregated at Cape May
Point than at any other one summer resort
in the land. This lovely retreat possesses a
peculiar charm for our citizens, as year after
year we see the same familiar faces at the
hotties and cottages, and the wilmington
Colony" as it has been denomirated isbeiDg
constantantly augmented in numbers fIom
from this city and vicinity.
The Carlton Hall is at present entertaining
about fifty of Wilmingtons most distinguish
ed citizens and the engagements already
booked for August indicate that that famous
IIostelerie has been captured by the elite OF
of Delaware.
The Carlton Hall is elegant in all its de-
partment Mine host, Hamilton, is all the
term host implies in all of its fullness and
the CUISINE and waiter service are complete IN
all their parts.
Parties visiting the Point simply for the
DIV will find dinner awaiting them at the

experimenter marks by the little graves the

the proper use of these foods.
How many infant deaths are due to the
fear that one may be thought an advocate
of some particular firms goods 1t is time
that this silly affectation is dropped. The
American Medical Association should define
what constitutes perfect food, and leave
the manufacturers to come up to the standard
SO set. AS the Gear said, when he drew a
straight line to represent the course of the
railway, ''There is your road; let the people
move up"
Then, if any manufacturer has succeeded
in producing a food which complies with
these requirements, let him have the credit
his skill has earned. by all means, this
committee should be continued. Let them
conclude their work, and give us report
which will embody the principles of infant
foods and so enable us to reject empirlcism

The Delights of Listening.

A listener and observer! How the import
of this attitude comes ont in the biographies
of the literary men who have been most
skillful in making their characters talk
naturally, and who were themselves, on fit
occasions, fine takers! What prodigious
powers of sitting silent, and simply absorb
ing, had such delineators of human life as
Addison and Moliere. Their own person
ality was sunk out of sight, as they sat
watching, and conteuplatively taking in
the ideas, humors, follies, virtues of those
about them. The whole scene was school
of instruction. They did not want to air
themselves, did not want to drive every
other mans ideas out of his head and sub
stitute their own. No wonder, then, that so
often, at the end of an evening during which
they had scarcely opened their mouths, they
were pronounced the most agreeable aud
delightful of men. They were such.
The man or woman is always delightful
who is a sy5Igthetc listener. Exchange
between mind and mind is not by word Of
mouth only. A nod, smile, spontaneous
interjection goes farther than many sci
speech. In fact, how can the man who il
ever on the stretch to thrust in his own oal
fail to destroy all capacity of passive recer
| tion in his nature.

Milk a Cheap Food.

A recent medical writer expresses surprise
at the want of appreciation-even among
medical men-of the real value of milk, in
comparison with other articles of fo)d, and,
in the case of housekeepers especially, who
frequently find it difficult to achieve as great
a variety of articles OF diet as is desirable,
this article is profuse in the facilities thus
provided. In particular, it would appear
that SO far as lis nutritiye value is con-
cerned, milk is far from being understood,
as compared with other Articles of animal
food. Again, there is less ference be-
tween the economical value Of milk, beef
steak, eggs o. fish than is commonly sup
posed. Thus the quantity of water in good
milk il 67 per cent il round steak rs per
c ,nt, in fAtter betf 60 per cont and in
eggs about GS per cent
Now, from analyses made, it is estimated
that sirlou steak, reckoning tie loss from
boue, is doar at thicty-five cents pound as
milk at twenty-iour cents quart; that
round steak at twenty cents a pound is as
dear as milk at fourteen cents a quart, and
corned beef at seventeen cents as dear as
milk at fifteen. The result from these de
ductions seems to be that milk at ever
twelve cents quart is the cheapest anima
food that can be used.

To Cape May.

Wlmipgtonans attest by their patronage
their appreciation of tie facilities afforded
for visiting Cape May, as Wilmington sends,
daily, to that inviting seaside resort from
fifty to two hundred citizens.
The hour of leaving the Wilmington and
Northern station being S.45 enables the ex-
cursionists to make their preparations and
to reach the station without the hustle and
excitement which attends the earlier hours
of the m orning, and it also affords business
men the opportunity of giving all necessary
attention to the morning mails and of out
lining the engagements of the day.
A more restful and healthful way Of
spending the day cannot be suggested than
trip to the capes via the steamer Republic.
The absence of dust and heat, and the
ozonic influences emanating from the salt
water are strong arguments in favor of these
daily excursions,

True work ora Physician.

DR.. Sawyer has his own views concerning
the true business Of a physician. They
belong to higher level of civilization than
has yet been reached, and may be prophetic.
"The doctor should come and 20 like the
clergyman and priest, instead Of being a
necessary evil, whose visits are avoided as
long as Iossible and which are source of
uneasiness when necessarily multiplied. He
should be minister and guardian of health,
an offiser of the family, upon whose special
wisdom free, early ard constant reliance is
placed. The eradication of Inherited ten
denotes to disease, the direct improvement
of the physical aud mental measure of stocks,
the development of hardy constitution in
weak children, the recognition and arrest of
many fatal organic diseases in their Incl
pienoy, before they are too old to be con-
trol'ed, the arrest of acute Inflammation at
time when this is possible, the insnring of
longevity and sound old age-these are
some of the things which the physician of
to-day is able, but which he is not often
permitted to do"

what the Country Pays TO the Sugar
Trust.

At the beginning of the year ofgrace 1887,
when the great Sugar Trust, now in practi-
ca!ly unopposed possession of one of the
most indispensable of the peoples every day
necessaries of life, had just become an estab-
lished fact under the inspiration OF the
Hayemeyers and their junta of brother
monopolists, the charge for refining pound
Of sugar WIS 5-Sths of a cent-ths amount
being the difference between the market
price of pound of the raw material and the
market price Of granulated sugar per pound.
The 5-Sths of a cent represented, there
fore, not only the cost OF refining, but the
profit going to the refiner as well.
At the beginning of July, 1SSs-eighteen
months after the establishment of the Trust
(Which, of course, was to cheaper the price
to consumers by lessening the cost of pro-
ductioD), the chargs for refining plus the
profit of refiners was l J cent per pound
this amount being, as before, the difference
between the market price of the raw mater
ial and the price of granulated sugar psr
pound.
During the eighteen months of the Trusts
life which have now passed, therefore, the
price of sugar has been increased to the
consumer by the difference between 5-8ths
cent and 11-2 cent, OF in other wordsby the
sum of 7-sths cent per pound.
Now, as the daily capacity of the refinsr-
les in the United States, exclusive of
Spreckles', reaches up to total of little
over $4,000 barrels, or, at the calculation of
800 lbs. to the barrel, about 100000 lbs,
the increase in price to the consumer
amounts to the considerable sum Of $87, 500
per day. There being 800 working days in
the year, the computation is easy that the
sugar consumers of the country pay $27,
900, 900 more for their sugar per annum now
than they did before the establishment and
working of this gigantic Trust.
Twenty-seven million dollars ber annum
is prettr large tribute for the people of
the United States to pay annually for the
luxury of having Sugar Trust, isn't itp
But they pay it, all the same.
