The basilisk was the most famous Of
the many fabulous monsters Of mediva-
val folklore. According to the popular
notion it was Matched by toad from an
egg laid by tho cock Of the common
barnyard fowli In the ancient picture
books it was usually represented as an
eight imbed serpent or dragon, some.
times with and sometimes without
wings. Its name is derived from BASIL
iscoe, meaning little king, and was ap-
piled because the creature was figured
with q circle Of white spots on its head
which much resembled crown. The
cockatrice, species Of basilisk, besides
having crown possessed comb which
was an exact counterpart Of the cocks.
Pliny assures Us that the basilisk had
q voice which ''struck terror to the
hearts Of men. beasts and serpents.'
The Bible classes it with the lion, the
serpent and the dragon a. one Of the most
formidable creatures Old writers,
PGny, Bascho and others, say that it's bite
was mortal in every case: that it's breath
was suffocating, and that no plant would
grow in the vicinity Of it's lair. Its dead
body was often used, suspended in bel
fries. to prevent swallows from building
there.-St Louis Republic.

How Gordo. Settled It.

The artillery evinced in their disgust
ut their removal to Qunisan by refusing
to fall in. and in proclamation they
threatened to blow the Chinese authori-
ties away with the small guns and the
Europeans with the big guns. Their
noncommissioned officers. as usual, all
paraded. and were sent for by Major
Gordon. who asked them the reason why
the men did not fall in. and who wrote
the proclamation. They of course did
not know; and on Major Gordon telling
them he would be obliged to shoot one
in every five. they evinced their objec-
ton to this proceeding by groan. The
most prominent in this was corporal,
who was dragged out. and q couple Of
infantry who were standing by were
ordered to load. and directed to shoot
the Mutineer, which one did without
the slightest hesitation.
The remainder were marched back
and locked up for an hour. with the
threat that if the name Of the writer of
this proclamation was not given. and il
the men did not fall in before an hour
had elapsed. the arrangement Of shoot
ing one in five would be carried out.
At the expiration Of an hour the men
all fell in, and the name of the culprit.
who had run away. was given up.
After that time we had no trouble.
the men were thoroughly cowed and the
oncommissioned officers-the real Of
fenders-dared no longer foster sedition.
It Is to be regretted, however, that one
life should have been sacrificed, but this
saved many others which must have
been lost if q stop had not been put to

The Be., Time to Wind . w.to,

A dealer in watches Of thirty years
experience says that he has known many
men who have tried to wind their
watches every morning instead of at
night, but he has never known one to
succeed. There are men who wind their
watches at fixed hour every day. but
men in general are accustomed to wind
them just before going to bed, and they
seem unable to change that habit. New

1892 has passed away, aud is lost in the
fathomless sea Of the ages. Our deeds
whether for good or for evil, are recorded
upon the indelible pages of the past. In
looking over the events that are gone,
we have much to commend and more to
regret. Individually, we have been blessed;
nationally, We have been highly favored.
While starvation has stared millions in
the face, and swept thousands from the
land Oh the other side Of the water, we
have had bountiful harvests; while con-
tagion has consigned many to the grave
in the old world, we have been compara-
tigely free from epidemics; while war has
threatened the nations Of Europe and
Asia, and millions of men have stood in
arms to defend the tottering thrones, we
have been at peace. Have we not been

tn innate and soil Of this PENN
snl8, and especially of the portion
known as the three lower counties,
we're regarded as peculiarly adapted
to the raising of this crop. Accord
ing to the unwritteh or traditional
history of Delaware, the early settlers
Of this section prosecuted the bust
ness Of tobacco raising with very
marked success. They made money
out oft and why cannot our farmers
of to-day do the same 7
Tobacco will grow in Delaware and
produce heavy crops, land at moderate
cost for production; but the quality
of Delaware grown tobacco is below
the standard so far that it is mar
keted with difficulty. We remem-
Der experiences Of men who grew to-
baeco in Delaware during the war,

from Pennsylvania and Connecticut
farmers. The crops then we're sat
isfactory as to quantity but the quail
ity could not compete with either of
the above named States and the same
conditions prevail to-day. It may
be lack ofexperience in time to cut
the tobacco,o in It's curing-but the
fact remains that Delaware tobacco
is a slow seller in market Tobacco
dealers say that the fibre of our to-
bacco is coarse and does not make
cigar wrappers, which knocks the
price down to the level OF filler to-
bacco.
Another point to be considered is,
that tobacco draws hard upon the
soil and requires heavy manuring to
keep up fertility and leaves nothing
from which to make manure. We
believe that fruit growing coupled
with cereal culture is more profitable
to farmers in Delaware than tobacco
culture.
