The New Castle Times speaks as fol-
lows of Cadet Deakyne.
cadet Herbert Deakyne came to
New Castle on a four days leave of
absence from West Point Military
Academy. Since his entrance he has
rapidly risen from the ranks to the
position of lieutenant, with the rank
of quartermaster. Mr.. Deakyne is a
graduate of the New Castle High
School, and student of Delaware Col
lege. He distinguished himself in
every institution of learning at which
he has been a student.
The NJ. E. Church of Seaford was the
scene of brilliant wedding of Robert
Houston FOOks of Georgetown to Miss
Mary, daughter of w. E. Cannon of
SeafOrd. The marriage ceremony was
performed by the Rev. w. J. Duhad-
way. The best man was Chas Cullen
Jr., of Georgetown, and the brides
maid was Miss Nettie Baker of Sea-
ford. The ushers were Messrs. w. 7.
TOmlinson of New York City, Thomas
Rawlins of Bridgeville, a former pro-
fessor of the Dover Academy, F. D.
James and H. G. Darby of SeafOrd.
A novel wedding occurred in Middle
town on New Years night. Richard
Kale and Sarah Saunders, cOlOred,
were the principals. The bride came
from Dover, and upon reaching Mid
dletown was severely attacked with
rheumatism. She was compelled to
retire, and not wishing to disappOint
the scores of invited guests she and
the groom agreed to have the CeremO-
ny while she lay helpless in bed. This
was done and the guests were as merry
as though the event had taken place
in the church, which was the original
programme.

Delaware's "relic of barbarism" il
increasing in favor. Most of the Phil
adelphia papers comment favorabl!
, upon the recent grand jury report rec
Ommending the whipping of wife beat
ers. 1t would seem strange after al
the denunciatiOn of Delaware's barbar
. ity in which our neighbors have in
, dulged for so many years to yet fine
whipping posts set up all over Penn
sylvania, Yet the growth of public
sentiment in favor of this punishment
for such low down cowardly brute
renders this by no means improbable
1 We presume it would be news to mos
5 Philadelphians that we do not sen
wife-beaters to the the whipping pos
in Delaware-but we are, nevertheless
open to the reproach of having thu
: far neglected to put our relic to thi
very proper use.-EUery Evening.

They Are Glad to Know Him Now.

A New Yorker of very limited means
recently got a bequest, the news Of
which was printed in the papers. As
soon as the fact became known he got
heavy mails that brought him letters
from all kinds Of charitable societies in
need of aid, and from host Of the suf-
ferers by impecuniosity. He also found
more callers at his house than there ever
before had been knockers at his door,
and he likewise enjoyed when in the
streets the sight of many more smiling
faces than he had previously been ac-
quainted with. Never until this month
had he realized the attractive power Of
the mighty 8. He now finds that his de-
ceased bachelor uncle, who left him a
bequest, has endowed him with some
thing else not set down in the last will,
to wit, cynicism. New York Sun.

A New. Type of Gun.

William 7. Chamberlain, of Norwich,
has invented and perfected gun which
promises to be the most durable, simple
and effectual gun ever made. 1t is
called the electric hydrogen gun. There
are three methods of firing the arm. By
the first method Mr.. Chamberlain claims
the projectile is sent from the gun by a
pressure equal to 81, 1000 atmospheres; by
the second process by four times that
force, and by the third method it is
transformed into an air gun with press
ure of from 1900 to 1900 pounds. The
gun is simple, without other machinery
than the chamber and barrel. The de-
mand for new and valuable weapons is
so large that some of the great powers
may find in this arm the executor they
have been anticipating, while Mr.. Cham
berlain may find in it the fortune the
shadow of which has kept his brain
active and his hands busy for many a
day. Norwich Conn Bulletin.

French Journals lament that unfayor.
able weather has almost altogether de
prixed the country Of fruit this year. A
disastrous amount ofrain has so afflicted
the central, northern, western and south
western districts that the markets have
been almost bare Of fruit except such as
had come from the south. One CORES
pondent, writing from the department
Of the Seine-et-Ma says; "We have
had neither cherries nor apricots nor
plums; apples have been greatly injured
by hall pears have suffered less, but our
grapes will not ripen."
And another, writing from Brittany,
says that there the pears are all spoiled,
apples are lacking in many localities,
and almost all the plums had perishedi
that peaches are everywhere non-exist-
ent; that gooseberries and raspberries
had been relatively scanty, and that, al
though strawberries had been quite
plentiful, they chad only the form Of
the fruit with the taste of water" Mean
while the complaints of excessive drought
have been coming in from the south,
where we are told even in the carefully
watered gardens the trees and shrubs
had faded and withered. Near the coast

ance of the grape CROP" but further
north the grape growers are reported to

Eat Before Going to Bed.

Most students and women who are
troubled with insomnia are dyspeptie
and they should therefore eat before 60
ing to bed, having put aside work en-
tirely at least an hour before. IF they
are not hungry they should simply be
instructed to eat and If they are hungry
they should eat whatever they want.
A glass of milk and a biscuit is some
times all that can be taken at first, or
mashed potato buttered. If possible,
the night meal should be taken in an
other room than the sleeping apart
ment and for men in city, it will be
found advantageous to 60 out to q res
taurant. Before eating, however, bath
should be given with q sponge or stiff
brush, and the body thoroughly rubbed
Off with coarse towel afterward. The
bath need not be more than five min
utes in duration. Further than this,
the patient should 60 to bed at the
same hour every night and arise OF the
hour every morning. There is q popu-
lar superstition that grown people
should not eat Immediately before GO
ing to sleep; that 1t will give them in
digestion or nightmare, or both. The
writer cannot see why adults should be
90 very different In this respect from
babies. The average person should be
in bed seven or eight hours, which Is
time enough for the digestion of almost
anything edible. In our American life
the digestion carried on through sleep
probably has the better chance for
thoroughness.- of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

pnrental Gloom In our Homes.

Boys and girls are often spoiled by
parental gloom. The father never un-
bends. The mothers rheumatism hurts
SO she does not see how little Maggie can
ever laugh. Childish curiosity is de-
nounced as impertinence. The parlor is
a parliament, and everything in ever
lasting order. Balls and tops in that
house are nuisance, and the pap that
the boy is expected most to relish is ge-
ometry, little sweetened with the
chalk of blackboards. For cheerful
reading the father would recommend
"Young's Night Thoughts" and Her
vey's ''Meditations Among the Tombs. !"
At the first chance the boy will break
loose. With one grand leap he will
clear the catechisms; he will burst away
into all riotous living. He will be so
glad to get out Of Egypt that he will
jump into the Red sea. The hardest
colts to catch are those that have long
while been locked up. Restraints are
necessary, but there must be some out
let. Too high a dam will overflow all
the meadows.-Rev. T. De Witt Tai
