A gentleman, Thomas B. Cour-
in a private letter to us,endorses
the effort we have made to have some
protection from fire by means of
water works in Milford. He calls
our attention to the great blessing
ofpure water for drinking that would
be obtained by the proper location
of the pumping station. In the built
up part of Milford this would be hard
to obtain, and he suggests the water
mower at Haven Mills be utilized and
the wells be sunk there. Mr.. Cour-
sew thinks the elevation for a stand
pipe and the pure spring water there
with no contaminating sources which
could be maintained by buying few
surrounding acres, with a good water
power. constitutes a cheaper water
plant site than any other town in
Delaware enjoys. He argues that
the water power would cost little
more than the purchase money while
steam pumping would entail constant
expense. Twoturbine wheels would
furnish all the power necessaryi and
in case of emergencies of big fire,
the pond could be drawn on as
reserve reservoir, This system would
not require an expensive engineer to
run it,as a man with one arm or one
lee. could start or stop the wheels as
occasion might require. The cost
of piping would be a small matter
in proportion to saving in cost ofthe
plant. Whatever plan is adopted,
should be discussed at a public meet
ing called by the president of Town
Council. IN

A DISH FOR A KING.
The Maker of which Was Made the Re
cipient of Manor.

The Maker of Which Was Made the Re
cipient of Manor.
William l. had a fine sense of what
was becoming at a royal table. He
was so well pleased at one of his little
dinners with a savory soup compounded
by his cook, Tezelin, that he sent for
him and asked how it was named.
II call it dillagrout." was the reply.
"A poor name for so good a soup"
cried the king. "Nathless'
body said ''nathless'' in those days
1--WE bestow upon you the manor of Adj
dington. -
This manor, may add, reverted to
the crown. In the reign of Henry Ill.
we find it in the hands Of the Bardolfs,
and held on the tenure of making
pasties in the kings kitchen ON the day
of his coronation or, providing som
one as his deputy, to make dish called
grout, and If suct tseym) was added, it
was called malpigernoun." At James
lis coronation the lord of the manor
claimed to find a man to make a dish
of grout in the royal kitchen, and
prayed that the kings cook might be
the man The claim was allowed. and
the claimant knighted. But what was
this grout? Was if identical with Te-
zelIn's dillagrout, and the Bardolfs'
malpigernoun? And was pottage
called Bardolf. Of which a fourteenth
century recipe has been printed by the
Society of Antiquaries, identical with
these? If so. as among the ingre-
dents were almond milk. the Drawn
of capons, sugar and spice, chicken
parboiled and chopped etc, it was
doubtless dish for king.-All the

A BOY HERO.


In heartless Paris, which TO foreign eyes
Seems made of mirrors, gas-light, and dis
play
A splendid buildings walls began TO rise,
Ascending stone by stone from day 10 day.
High and more high the pile was builded
we'll
And scores of laborers were busy there,
When suddenly fragile staging fell
And two strong workmen swung aloft In
air,
Suspended by their hands TO one slight hold.
That bent and cracked beneath their sudden
weight:
One worn with toll, and growing gray and
old:
Yet with hero's soul Alone and young,
Were IL not well TO yield his single life,
On which no parent leaned no children chung,
And save the other to his babes and wifeg
lie saw that exc deliveranee could be
brought
The frail support they grasped must surely
break
And in that shuddering moments flash OF
lie chose to perish for his comrades sake.
With bravery such as heroes seldom know.
"'Tis right" he said, and loOsing his strong
grip,
Dropped like stone upon the stones below,
And lay there dead, the smile still on his
lip.
What though no laurels grow his grave
above,
And DER his name no sculptured shaft may
rises
To the sweet spirit OF unselhsh love.
Was not his life glorious sacrihcef

We're as dry as finder. A huge pile of

was intense, and the smoke arose in
immense clouds.
The city fire department was sum-
moned. and soon 5000 feet of hose was
out, and the battle for the preservation
of the manufacturing district was
pressed wilh renewed vigor. At 3 p.
m. the danger was passed, and South
Superior was saved from destruction
by a very narrow margin.
Superior is, in fact surrounded by
fire on the one side and the lake on the
other. Word reached the city tonight
that the Omaha bridge at the American
river is burned. while to the northeast
and in the logging district on the South
Shore Of Lake Superior there is much
destruction of standing pine and of logs
already cut.

to-day in nearly every direction from
Duluth, aud large amount of damage
was done. The Duluth fire department
was called to Lester Park this after
noon and it took hard fight to save

department was successful in its efforts
and saved the village from any serious
damage. II is reported that the houses
of several farmers have been burned
down
The Omaha trains are DELAYED in
Duluth on account of the burning of
100 feet af the bridge over the Amnicon

The Eject of Captivity on Their Visual
Organs.
curious communication has been
made to the Academic de Medicine
by NJ Motais of Anglers, whose works
on the various diseases Of the eye are
highly esteemed He has closely eX-
amined the effect of captivity on the
sight of wild beasts. such as liens,
tigers, etc. and asserts that all animals
in a savage state are farsighted. The
same remark applies TO man in an IN
civilized state, and even to those who,
though civilized. follow avocations
which oblige them To remain constantly
in the open air, such as sailors or farm
ltsborers.
The same faculty subsists in Gagged
animals when they have been taken
after the age of six or eight months;
but when born in captivity, or kept in
cages when very young. they become
nearsighted, which VI. Notais attrib-
utes to the narrow space in which they
are confined and the training which
obliges them to follow the eye of the
keeper or tanner to obey his will The
nearsightedness of school children
may, in his opinion, be ascribed to the
same cause.-The habit of concentrating
the sight on one point and the TACT
that the power of the visual organ be-
comes modified according to The re-
quirements to which it IS SUI gected.-
