noon, the schooner Frank Mcdonnell
was the first vessel to sail up the Della
ware river, passing this city at o'clock
The Mcdonnell was light and bound to
Philadelphia, but she made great time
to this city and her work encouraged the
ship captains here. Immediate prepara-
tions for sailing down to the Brealxwater
were made in case a northwest wind
comes up.
Tugs have gone down the river to the
sunken towboat, Gardner B. Reynolds,
belonging to Alexander Y. Hanna, of
Philadelphia, which went down until
only four feet of her staff is visible. On
Friday night she came In contact with
an ice field of unusual size and was stove
in and sunk. The vessel will probably
be saved.
Yesterday morning the bark Flourine
started on her voyage to Lisbon with
157, 456 gallons of refined petroleum.
Repairs to her hull having been COM
pleted the Flourine came down from
Philadelphia on Friday night and was cut
into and borne ashore just below here
while beached and she was repaired and
put in seaworthy condition.
Yesterday the schooner Nelson New
bury while ON her way out to sea col
lided with a heavy foe just after passing
New Castle and her ports stove in. She
was run ashore on Blackbird fats, where
the tugs Rescue and Battler worked with
her all day yesterday.
With her bobstays all replaced aud il
good general repair the schooner Charlie!
Morford is now ready to sail. She wal
beached Just off Truss wharf in a dam

OLLA PODRIDA,

Female physicians are scarce every
where except in the United States.
There are only &c IN London, five in
Edinburgh, two in Dublin, 50 in Paris,
one IN AIgiers, and 1900 in the United
States.
Among the various pieces of interest
ing information brought to light during
the deliberations of the international
Monetary Conference at Brussels, is the
fact that there is at present no ess than
81, 100000 of counterfeit silver money
in circulation in France, elgi,lm, Swift
erland, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The superstition about the number 13
being unlucky is put to multiplied test
in the new twenty yfve- cent pieces. On
one side of the coin there are no less than
ten repetitions of the number 13. There
are 13 stars, 13 letters in the scroll held
in the eagles beak, 13 marginal feathers
in each wing, 13 tail feathers, 13 parallel
lines in the shield, 13 horizontal bars, l3
arrow heads in one claw, 13 leaves on
the branch in the other claw, and 13
letters in the words "quarter dollar"
There hasn't seemed to be anything un-
lucky in the 13 original States nor in the
13 stripes on the flag, and now it remains
to be seen if the man who gets his
pockets full of these new quarter dollars
will be unlucky.

Taken altogether the hoodlum is the
very worst type of criminal which mod,

the New Orleans Picayune. He is a
savage IN the midst of civilization; he is
the human wild beast that finds his lair
in the jungles and slums of great city,
but is ever ready to emerge to commit
some act of inexcusable and wanton
atrocity. These are the public enemies
with which society has now to deal, and
it should show them no mercy, but hunt
them down as it does other worthless

Buttercup, poppy, forgct-mc-not-
These three bloomed in garden spot,
And once, all merry with song and play,
little one heard three voices say:
'Shine or shadow summer or spring
o thou child with the tangled hair,
And laughing e,;es--we three shall bring
Each an offering, passing fair!'
The little one did not understand,
But they bent and kissed tho dlmpled hand
Buttercup gambolled all day long,
Sharing the little ones mlrth and song:
Then, stealing along on misty CLEANS,
Poppy came, bringing the sweetest dreams,
Playing and dreaming that was all,
Fill once the sleeper would not awake;
Kissing the little face unde: the pail,
We thought Of the words the third flower
spake.
And we found betimes in a hallowed spot
The solace and peace of forget-me-not.
Butte cup shareth the joy of day,
Gllnting with gold the hours of play;
Brlngeth the poppy sweet repose,
When the hands would 70 d and the eyes would
close.
And after it all-the play and the sleep
Ola little life-what cometh then2
10 the hearts that ache and the eyes that
weep
Awee flower bringeth Coils peace again.

Buttercup, poppy, forget-me-not.

shop of a Taxidermist.

Nearly all the women are now wearing
little bOas made of whole mink or sable
skins. and it will probably be a surprise
to many to learn that in the best boas
the little cleaning teeth are carefully cut
out in ivory by hand For the more ex-
pen5lvc skins, even, those of lions and
tigers, intended for rugs. the teeth were
generally of porcelain. Mr.. Warembath,
a young taNidermist who came here from.
London Il couple Of years ago, thought
there were people willing to pay for hay
ing the heads of such skins made III ire
lifclikc. He made studies of the heads
of animals, then plaster casts, f,om
which could be taken paper mache
forms to insert into the skins. Then he
added the real ivory teeth. He applied
the same principle to smaller skins, and
it ''cau-ht on with the furricrs.
"All the mink heads YOU see on wo-
mems nccks,' he remarked, in his work
shop, "arc narrow pointed, aud nothing
like the animal when alive. Sec this
cast made of one and see this skin |
have in pickle"
He took out a dripping object which
would have made any woman shudder
and VOW never to permit such thing to
touch her neck. He showed another,
however, when the skin of the beautiful
little animal was finished, and its glcam-
ing white teeth and sparkling ewes were
as IfeIike as they could be made. These
skins, he said, were in great demand,
and would soon begin to bring much
higher figures.
On the floor lay the skin of white
bear, whose enormous head measured
seventeen inches from the snoot to the
bump of rapacity. The cast for this
head had been made from studies at
