DovRR. Del. Feb 1.-The Legislature
closes the work to day by one of the best
weeks Of weeks they have yet put in. A
number Of bills have been passed and a
great many more are under way. The
enrolment committee have gotten down
to work. and as fast as the bills are passed
thew are enrolled. The clerks have mas
tered the intricacies of their position, and
next week will open with everything NOV
ing along in veteran order Considering
the bitterness of pealing in the late con
test. there is considerable good fellowship
between the members of the oppo-
site parties. One can meet a half
dozen members in groups between SEES
sions and they viii be equally dividedas
to political parties. but will be indnlging
in the most pleasant social intercourse.
The only difference of moment thus far
has been that over state treasurer and
auditor.

we could always tell and talked so nicely that he gave me dollar when got through with him.
 "There are plenty of other givesways by which can spot bride and groom, and they are safe generally as the test. One day couple came in the car-which, by the way, was jamful-and the moment they en- tered it was as plain as daytime that they were newly welded. I passed by them once or twice and then went in my closet and got the dustpan and the brush. I walked right up to where the bride was sitting and dusted up painful of rice that lay on the floor around her in complete circle. We'll, if the people in that car didn't laugh Pm another.
 'The custom of throwing rice after a
 bridal couple always makes it unpleasant for the party, as lots of rice is almost sure to stick to their clothes, hats and in their hair. About the funniest rice thing I ever saw was that which happened in my car just two or three weeks ago. A couple came in, and the test revealed to me that they were bride and groom. They didn't seem couldn't get any satisfaction out of them at all. By and by the man said to his wife: Seems to me this umbrella is not rolled up very nicely
 "Then he carefully unrolled it, and, be- zing! ont came three or four pocketfuls of rice and all over the seats and floor Their friends had rolled up lot inside the folds of the umbrella, and, next to the young man heard tell about who, when he went to sign his name in 8 hotel register, dropped 6 lot of rice on the book when he took off his hat it was the most binding thing ever knew"

in order to recover a lost agate, they decend- ed to the more reprehensible crimes of per- sonal violence and of language calculated to provoke breach of the peace and intense horror in the souls of every Christian audi- tor.

 Yet it must be admitted that these boys whose chbby arms erstwhile did embrace said goat and whose clothes did use to drink in the aroma of said diabolical and demoraliz- ing goat only to exhale the same for the re- galement and delectation of sensitive olfact- ories-these boys we say-these naughty maladorous boys seem very sorry for 1t all now. They do not go about clamoIlng their sorrow; they do not refer to their past with sigh expressive of regret; they have the ex- ceeding good taste never to invite scrutiny into their records. Yet it is evident to the parental eye that deep down in their hearts the boys are sorry about something and are trying to do better.

ATIDAL WAVE OF REFORM.

Christmas Forgetfulnesss one of She PIeasantest Bits in the Comedy of Life. Eugene Field in Chicago News.l
 This is the particular season of the year when the boys are overwhelmed by tidal wave of reform; when they wallow in docil. ity and goodness and humility. These boys have been running matters and things pretty much to suit themselves for the last six months; they have martyred their parents and made life an unbearable burden to the neighbors. Yet now all of 6 sudden these boys exhibit great and won drous change; meek as the proverbial meek. ness of Moses, they are as thoughtful as pro- per and as circumspect in their daily lives as the most exacting mother or the sternest father could wish. d
 The truth of the matter is that Christmas is at hand. That is why the boys are so completely changed; yes Christmas is the wherefore We know this because we wore once boy, and (as we distinctly recolleet) a very good boy, too.
 Singularly enough, the parents change, too, ct this particular season of the year. They forget much; the spirit of oblivion rests upon that large section of the past involving the misdoinRs of the boys. Well such is human nature this kindly forgetfulness is one of the plessantest bits in all the comedy of hu- man life.
 It was only last spring that the boys wrano- led and quarreled over their marbles; very often they scratched and beat each other and not infrequently they--now we are pained to have to record this-they used bad words. Yes not content with kneeing out their trous- CTS with wearing big ugly holes in their stockings (and stockings cost moneyi)-not content with cheating the smaller sskidsp at fen dnbs, with tearing up the paslor register

The Cancels Hunps.

ber.l
 Structurally, of course, the humps are nothing-mere Jumps of fat collected under convenient fold of the skin, and utterly unprovided for in the framework of the skeleton. When the animal is at it's best and well fed they are full and plump, stand ing up on his back firm and upright; but on a long journey they are gradually absorbed to keep up the fires that work the heart and legs, and in the caravan camels which arrive at the coast the skin hangs over, an empty bag upon the creature's Hanks, bearing wit- ness to the scarcity of external food during the course of his long, forced march from She interior. A starved small camel in this
 state of health far more closely resembles Peruvian llama than anyone who has only
 seen the fine, well kept beasts in European msaageries or zooIogical gardens could Teaai- ly imagine.
 But water Is even scantier in the desert than food; and against want of water,
 therefore, the camel has had to provide him- self, intentionally at least If not structurally, quite as much as against want of herbage. His stomach has accordingly acquired the
 power of acting as an internal reservoir, and he can take in as much water at the Bahrs Wadys, where be rests for a while on his
 toilsoms march, as will supply his needs for four or five days together. There are some
 difference in this respect, however, between
 the two chief varieties of the camel The
 African kind is most sbstemious and best
 adapted to sandy deserts; the Bscsrian, a
 product of more varied and better watered
 country, Is larger and stronger, but less pa-
 tient of hunger and thirst, while at the same
 time it can manage to subsist and to make it's
 way into somewhat reckier and more rugged
 country.

THE NEW SOUTH,

The new South has made astonishing pro- gress in material prosperity during the last few years. Some facts showing this pro- gress have been made public, and they are very interesting and significant.
 In Georgia the increase in the assessed valuation of real estate between 1880 and 1888 was nearly ffty-six millions, and of personal property about thirty three mil- lions, while the net debt of the State was reduced eleven millions. Very much of the increase in Georgia's wealth has been due to the growth of the iron industry. The same is true of Alabama, though lumber, coal, four and quarrying have been of almost as much importance. Alabama has almost doubled the assessed valuation of real es- tate in the past eight years, the increase be- ing fifty six millions. The increase in per- sonal property has been from forty-ive mil- lions to eighty-two. In South Carolina the increase in the valuation of real estate and personal property taken together has been but a little over nine millions. The esti- mated increase in the average of farms is fixed at twenty per cent, which is good showing. Since 1880 Florida has added to her real estate valuation nearly three-fold, and the personal property has nearly doubled. Texas has more then doubled her real estate valuation, the increase being from two hun- dred and five millions to four hundred and forty six millions. The value of personal property has also doubled. In thep growth of manufacturing industries iron comes first. Arkansas has increased the value of her real estate from 6fty-fve millions to ninety mil- lions and of personal property from thirty millions to fifty seven millioys, and Virginia, real estate from two hundred ' thirty three millions and two hundred and ninety-nine millions and personal property from seventy four millions to ninety-seven E illions. It is thus seen that Texas shows at largest in- crease in values-a gain tre three hundred and ffty-four millions in ee .,ht years, Ala- bama next, with ninety-tvfo aillions, and Georgia next with nearly ads uh hch. North Carolina's gain cannot be asfven. as it has not been reported, but it is esftlmated at about fifty millions.
 The increase in the eight Southern States, therefore, since 1880 has been not far from eight hundred millions of dollars. This increase in valuation has in each State been accompanied by decrease in debt, and what is better an increase in educational facilities.

 It is Pullman porter who is talking, and the at ,ntive scribe belongs to the s1af of the Newark Sunday Call:
 ''Hardly week goes by," says the por- ter ''that don't see a bridal couple just starting out on their honeymoon. I don't exactly know how can tell them, but they are as plainly marked to my eyes as if they had the words Bride and Groom, stamped in big letters on their foreheads. There is something about them that gives the whole situation away, kind of cling right next to me darling air that never deceives fellow. Of course, have made mistake now and then, but it is very seldom I do, and I've of ten found out after changing my mind two or three times that I was right after all, though certain appearances were against 1t. We generally have test which never fails, and when doubtful party comes along we spring it on them, just to be sure, you know.
 'sWhat's the. tests We'll, I'll tell you. Not many weeks ago a couple got into my car and sat down very quietly in their arm chairs as if they had been used to it all their lives These didn't seem to have the bride and groom air about them at all, and from external appearances they might have been brother and sister or married for yeaIs, but still there was something there that made me suspicious, 80 when saw them together I went to the news company's boy and says: Bill, here's doubtful party get out the sample copies
 "So Bill got his tests and started through the car. He handed books toeverybody, and when he came to the suspected party he took out of bis pile two little books and said so nearly everybody could hear him: Very useful books, sir; hints on housekeeping and hints to newly married people. Only twenty five ceHts.'
 ssThat did 1t. The girl got as red as rose and the man b1ushed and said weak sort of eN-n.n-no.' Then they looked at each other and sort of snickered, and caught him full in the eye and smiled sweet smile, giving him respectful wink at the same time. It was all settled in minute, and there was no doubt about 1t. We'll, he took it very good naturedly, and asked me afterward how in the world he had given himself away he conldn,t imagine. made believe
