Going to the Fair.

People who contemplate visiting

he escapes without pawning his comb
and his tooth brush he will be lucky.
How long do you suppose some of our
young Wilmington dudes could pose
at one of these fashionable hotels
where a weeks salary would not paw
one days board. The people who
think that the 50-cent admission to the
grounds will be the open sesame to all
the sights therein will also be
badly fooled. They are going to
have all sorts of devices and traps to
wheedls the dollars, halves and quar-
ters out of the patient public. 1t will
be regular skin game or a sort of
modern refined method of highway
robbery. tell you, the man who has

Are Girls Slangier than Boys ?

A writer states that girls use mora

Ialk much more than boys, so that
their stock of uncouth words is in more
frequent use. 1t is also larger. If a
boy were mine of slang his tacitur-

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nOunced it a local disease and pre-

has proven cataarh to be a Oonstitu-

constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

To Make Potatoes Mealy.
HOW To MAKE THE BEST OF TIE MI
TRITIOUs TUBER.

Mealy potatoes are more nutritious
than waxy ones, because they contain
more of starch. A microscope shows a
potato tobe almost entirely composed of
cells, which are sometimes filed and
sometimes contain clusters of beautiful
oval grains. Now these little grains
remain unchanged when cold, but
when heated in warm water to about
the degree that melts wax, they dis
solve in it, the whole becoming a ielly.
If there is not great quantity of
starch in the cells it will not burst.
but if the number of grains or their
size be very great, the potato is broken
on all sides by the explosion of the
cells, and mealiness is produced. To
insure mealy potatoes, peel them and
put them on the fire in boiling water.
AS soon as they are done, drain them,
cover them closely and set them near
he fire for five minutes.-N Y. World,

The apples on one side of his trees
were carefully thinnsd, and resulted in
fruit Of twice the size, better quality,

branches which were allowed to carry
the whole crop, bore only every other
