Toys for Great Britain.

Great Britain gets about 26Oo, 900 worth of oned that there are rather more than 15, ,000, : 900 of children in the United Kingdom 15 years old and under, it follows that the outlay for foreign toys Is not much more than pence per child Most of these articles come from Germany, which sends to British dealers toys of the value of Rs2o,O00 a year. Holland is second, with e125,O worth; France follows with a90,OOO worth, while Belgium is a fairly good fourth with gro, 900 worth. Considering how clever the Ameri- cans are, it is singular that the United States supply only es,OO0 worth of these joys of the children's heart. Yankee inventors do not care to waste their smartness on the trivial toy-New York Telegram.

Photographinx tho Sky.

Professor William H. Pickering has suc- ceeded in detecting a number of new nebulD by means of photography. The region sur rounding the nebula of Orion was selected for these experiments, and from the results the author concludes that, by photographing the entire sky, four or five thousand such objects may be discovered. Only in case the large nebula of Orion should prove to embrace all the new nebulae in its limits, this proportion would not hold good. The experiments show, however, that the method Is well adapted to verifying and completing our catalogues of stars-Science.

Don't Like the Plan.


 The Medico-Legal society has now made its report as to the method that should be adopt cd for electric execution, and the would be details of the manner In which he will be dis posed of if he should receive @ sentence of capital punishment We must frankly sad- nit that the plan does not commend itself to our notions of decency or propriety. An electrical execution will, perhaps, be less sloppy than one by grdllotine or by blowing from guns but it will not be less ghastly in It's attendant circumstances. - Electrical World (New York.

keeps the air from coming in contact with
the wine and shows more plainly when
fermentation stops, then no more bubbles
appear at the water end of the syphon.
GENERAL REMARKS.
In wine making cleanliness and clean
vessels are as necessary as in dairying.
II dry wines are wanted do not mix su-
gar with the grape juice. If sweet wines
are desired mix three pounds of pure white
sugar with gallon of juice beforefermen-
tation. Two pounds to gallon will do
Fresh grape Juice has no alcohol in it;
fermentation produces alcoholfrom grape
sugar or from sugar added to the juice.
Grape juice put up fresh in BOTTLES like
preserves, brought nearly to the boiling
point at the time of sealing, will keep
fresh for years. The heat destroys the
bacteria that starts fermentation.
Grape juice should be reduced one-half
or three-fourths by boiling, like cider,
and kept :or years by sealing it up while
hot.
In the absence of wine or cider press
in making keg or barrel or two of wine,
put the juice and hulls in a grass bag, tie
tight, place the bag on wide plank that
will conduct the juice to a tub, put two
inch plank two feet square on top of the
bag and fit lever over this, the short
end working in a square hole mortised in
a tree with aug ur and chisel; take a heavy
green sapling ten feet long for lever
This is for country farmers where trees
and saplings are plentiful.

lum. Before the war what the Mirror
says was true. The white men did not
work because they did not have to, the
negro did not work any more than he
was obliged to, but we assure the Mirror
he was always obliged to do plenty of
it.
Now, the whites of the South, realizing
that it is root pig or starve, do not hesi
tate to do their full share towards devel-
oping the resources of their country and
to them as well as the immigrant can be
attributed the phenomenal progress we
are making.
We do not underrate the value of the
immigrant; we know to him is due a
great deal of our prosperity, but the
Mirror evidently over estimates the num-
Der and their influence.
Florida, perhaps, has been more blessed
with immigrants than any other OF the
Southern States, and her increase in
wealth and population has perhaps been
greater, but the Mirror will be eastonished
no doubt to learn that at the last census
OF Florida's 259, ,584 inhabitants, 49,
481 were born in Florida, and 10000
were natives of other Southern States,
leaving only 16, lob to be credited as i'm
migrants from all other States and
countries.
The immigrant and the native have
labored hand i'll hand for the prosperity
of the country; their Efforts have been
crowned with success. Give to each the
credit that is his due.

Cold Weather but Cheap Grain.

Mr.. w. HI. Mann, of Meanwhile, Fla,
writes us as follows from Gilman, ILL.,:
Editor Florida AgTiculturiSt:
The mercury stooda at go this morning,
lower than have seen it in Florida dur
ing the eight winters | have spent there,
except in the cold wave of January, 1886.
[ think we may expecta large crowd from
the North this winter, though the low
prices of grain will keep many from going
who would like to do SO. Think of oats
at II cents per bushel, corn at 20 to 25
cents, and hay at 81 to IS per ton. Irish
potatoes are 20 tc 25 cents per bushel.

Southern Progress and It's Causes.

OOuCn0Tn Progress anu 4CS causes.
We clip the following from the Manches-
ter On. W Mirror and Farmer:
''The South, as Galileo said of the
earth, docs move Her crops in 1883
had a money valuation of $SOO,OOO, 900,
and this year their value is estimated at
$90O,0OO,0OO. 1t is said that this years
cotton crop will reach 100000 bales,
valued at nearly $40O,OOO,O 900. This is
about double that of any crop before the
war OF the Rebellion. In manufacturing
She has made still greater progress. There
was scarcely a manufacturing establish
ment in the whole South when the war be-
gan. Now she boasts that over II 900
put into operation within the last three
years. But all this. and much more, has
been done mainly by Northern capital
and enterprise. Another kind of finvasion
is gradually going on, and in time the
South will be completely Yankeeized and
revolutionized. The Southern white man
won't work, and the negro will not work
any more than he is obliged to. 1t is only
by colonization from the Industrious
North that the fair lands of the South,
now neglected, can be reclaimed and
made to support a thrifty, progressive
and happy population
In what the Mirror says there is of
course some truth The South is pro-
crossing in wealth andin population, and
this progress to very great extent, as it
says, is due to immigration from the
North. The Southern people know this
and are awake to the necessity of keep
ing the tide turned in their direction. No
country, we care not where it is situated,
can increase to any great extent in pOpu-
lation and wealth without the aid of i'm
migration. And it is to the credit of the
sections that they have attracted the at
tention of immigrants In the Mirrors
own State, where the immigration was
but little, the value of farms has de-
creased some $5, 900, 900 during the past
ten years, while in Florida where the i'm
migration has been great, it has increased
some 100000.
The Mirror gives gratuitous insultto
the native whites and negroes of the
South. It's ideas are no doubt ante-bel-

The death of Abraham Cannon. of
Chrlstians, q notice of which Is elsewhere
found In the REPUBLICAN,, is q reminder
that only two men who were sheriff OF
New Castle county and who were bis
predecessors survive him. These two are
William r. Lyman, who was elected in
1859, and Thomas NJ. 0gle, elected IN
1856. Mr.. Cannon followed Mr.. Ogle In
1858. Mr.. Lyman Is about the same age
of Mt. CaDuon and Mr.. Ogle is bout 76,
hale, active and hearty aud ready for any
office yet that mi sht come his way.
Mr.. Cannon was the first opposition
Sheriff to the Democrats after TIE collapse
of the old-line Whig party In 1854, when
John A. Willard was elected. MIR. Can
non was elected by fusion of the old
line Wings and the American party.
Alter Mr.. Cannon came Levi Is. Moore,
elected in 1860 by the Peoples party;
Lewis w. stidham, elected In 1862 by
the Union party, and George s. HagaDy,
elected In 1854 by the Republican party.
Then followed line of Democratic
SEer!fis, commencing with William Her
bert, elected in 1906 by a majority Of Z
votes over Samuel Allen; Jacob Richard
son, elected in 1868, and James Arm
strong, In 1870.
A Republican tidal wave elected r.
Lewis Armstrong In 1879, and then three
more Democratic sherifls followed: Will
liam II. Lambson in 1874, Isaac Grubb in
1876 and john Pyle in 1878. A turn In
the political tide elected Philip X. Clark,
Republican, in 1850 and James Martin,
Republican, in 1859. Then came the
pIowlng Democrats: Thomas Ford ia
1884, Giles Lamoson in 1886 and Alvan

The blockade OF port is not more in
furious to Its commerce than is oven the
temporary obstruction OF the bowels to
tho health OF the system. Constipation
necessarily arrests the secretion OF bile,
impedes and disorders digestion, and
poisops the circulation. The safest and
most effective, as it is also the most genial,
laxative and anti-bilious medicine in ex-
istence is Hostetter's Stomach Bltters,
ard 1t Is more than probable that It's
sovereign efficacy as a preventive and
remedy for intermittent and remittent
fever is largely due to its reformatory
acton upon the liver, an organ preju-
dicially involved in all malarial com
