SIGNS OF COMING AGE-"Do YOU
know the surest indication of old age?"
said a physician recently, according to
the Jenness Miller illustrated Monthly.
'iThe sufest indications in man." he
continued, "are moist eye, Il dry palm
and shrinkage of the calf of the leg.
All these indications are due to some
action of the nerves consequent upon
advancing years.
SIN the matter of the eye the fifth
section is interfered with, and ii Is this
which causes a flow of water.
1.-THE dryness of the PALMS produced
by an interference with the functions of
the body, also due to the action of the
nerves, and the shrinkage Of the leg fol-
lows from similar causes.

they consume with their drink, and with
those who do not drink it follows IRON
other physiological changes.

Will be Treated for Lock-jaw.

Harrison Capel, a wealthy farmer of
Sassafras, Kent county, in company
with his physician who has been at
tending him for lock jaw, have gone to
New York where Mr.. Capel will be in
oculated with lymph which is said to
exert the same influence upon lock-jaw
that Koch's lymph does upon consump-
tion. Mr.. Capel contracted the dread
ed disease about two weeks ago while
riding horse the animal was very
spirited and in order to control the
steed he wrapped the lines tightly
around his left hand and the buckle
that joined them, which happened to
be rusty, slightly cut his hand. The
cut bled little, but he thought moth
ing of it for several days, until he no.
ticed that his hand was swollen. The
symptoms Of lock-jaw appeared and
terrible spasms, in which often his
body was SO distorted that his head and
feet only touched the bed, tightly
clenehed teeth and the other horrible
features of the disease showed them
selves.-Elkton News.

who is Henry D. Martin?

The peculiar actions of a stranger
giving his name as Henry d. Martin,
and his home as Baltimore, Md, who
had been in the employ of a local
harness firm, for several days, excited
suspicion on Thursday last. He was
suspected of being one of the four
burglars who escaped from the Nor
folk train the early part Of last week.
Martin had been staying here about
two weeks previous to the burglary,
but on Saturday before the robbery
Sunday, he left, stating he was going
to Wilmington, and would return.
He did not put in an appearance
until the following Wednesday night.
During his absence he had shaved off
his beard and his appearance was
otherwise very much changed. Sew
eral things caused suspicion to rest
upon Martin and when he left the
following morning, going, no one
knew where, only strengthened the
belief that he was a member of the
gang.
He walked as far as TESTERS Corner,
where he spent the night in a barn,
but after leaving there all trace of the
suspect was lost. Whether he was
implicated in the affair or not, his
actions here were suspicious and
called for an explanation. Messages
were sent to Delaware City, New Cas-
tie, Wilmington and neighboring
places to intercept Martin, but he has
not been heard of and it is supposed
that he has escaped.
The burglar confined in Elkton jail
was taken to Dover by Detectives
McVey and Witsil on the first south
bound train yesterday morning. The
one who escaped just as he was being
aiken to jail in Elkton has not been
heard of since.
Middletown transcript., 1892-03-24

One business is as much as any man
can attend to proftably, and there is
no other kind of business that requires
sole care and attention so much as a
farm. No farmer can succeed who
does not make the farm his lifework,
and, forsaking all others, keep only
to this, with a determination to sue
ceed. Moreover, it is the special farm.
er who is the most successful; he who
chooses some one particular kind of
work or product, and keeping closely
to it, makes it subject of study and
is always improving his methods and
increasing his income from it. A bus
mess is of slow growth. No one can
be built up in year and have a solid
foundation !; and farmers business
is of as slow a growth as one of his
apple trees. He must plant in hope,
cultivate with perseverance, water
with industry, fertilize by intelligence,
and the increase will be abundant,
whatever branch of agriculture he may
choose. But the rolling stone gathers
no moss, and precisely the farmer who
is ever changing will never succeed.

The Burglars Tools Recovered.


Detectives McVey, Witsil and Hut
chins have taken James Richardson,
the alleged burglar, to Dover to plead
to three charges of assault and battery
with intent to commit murder. He
was arranged before Squire Jester and
committed to Jail. A ten-dollar bank
note with a hole in it which was found
on Richardson may furnish clue to
the wholesale safe burglaries at Mil
ford. The tools stolen from the black
smith shop at Milford On the night of
the burglary we're found at the bottom
of Mispillion River by W. c. Welch,
from whose shop they were taken.
The find included a sledge hammer,
monkey wrench, punch and two chisels.
1t is with these implements that the
safes were cracked at Milford, the
Burglars throwi ng them away in their
fight from the town.
