TOSSED AWAY HIS CRUTCH. Amos
c. Brinton, doorkeeper at the County
Court House, has walked with a crutch
since 1875, when he was injured by
a terrible beating inflicted upon him by
two negroes, his hip being dislocated,
while the sinews of his left leg con-
tracted until the limb was two or three
inches shorter than the other. Friday
afternoon Mr.. Brinton suddenly cast
aside his crutch and walked as well as
ever, with the exception of decided
limp, the result of his short leg. Mr..
Brinton asoribes his sudden cure to
Divine agency ut is the result of
Gods grace" he says, land 1 want
everybody to know it,. The story of
his apparently miraculous cure is as
follows: Last week he attended Bran
dywine Summit Camp Meeting. and
there became filled with the grace of
God. Thursday afternoon he visited
his old home at Chadd's Ford, Pa, on
the battlefield, and there went to his
mothers grave, for the purpose of
shedding tears and asking pardon for
having lived for so many years heed
less of her prayers and admonitiOns to
become a Christian. But the tears
would not come, and so he returned to
to the house and went up to the room
where his mother died. As soon as he
entered the room he felt a revivifying
and strengthening feeling spread over
him, and invOluntarily he took step
without the aid of his crutch, without,
however, having any thought of his
lameness, and then a second step.
Suddenly it flashed upon him that he
was able to walk, and holding the
crutch in his hand he stepped across
the room. Then he placed the Crutch
in the corner, ''and there it still is, y
said Mr.. Brinton, land there it will re-
main, for as long as trust in God
never expect to have any use for il
again" Many of Mr.. Brinton's friends
were amazed to see him walking about
! the streets without the orutoh
which has been his constant compan
ion for nearly IS years. His belle
that his sudden and surprising cure is
the result of Divine Providence is firm
and unshakable. He is 75 years ole
and very active for a man of that age
! Mr.. Brinton was resident of Smyrni
few years before the war, in the ma
chine business, the firm name beinG

George v. Massey's Return Home.

The Philadelphia. Inquirer of Tues
day week said: George V. Massey of
Delaware, who was passenger on the
American line steamer Paris, inst in
from Liverpool, passed last night at
the Lafayette and will return home to-
day, after an absence of two months in
Europe. Mr. Massey's magnificent
presence made him a noticeable figure
in the holel corridor last night. He
spent a delightful time abroad, he said,
and had never met so many Americans
as are now in London and Paris. The
Griscoms sRobert-Elkins Widener-John-
son party from this city had left Lon
don just day before he reached that
great city from Scotland. Mr.. Massey
attributed the great number of Ameri-
cans abroad to the business stagnation
here, which enabled those who could
afford it ample time for the trip.
Concerning politics in Delaware, he
said that it was an exceedingly difficult
thing to get an agrarian population to
believe that the depression in manu-.
featuring industries must react on the
farmer Wilmington business has
suffered terribly, and the truck growers
around that city had learned the true
meaning of the destruction ofthe home
market. Further away the farmer;
were having their eyes opened to the
fact that any policy which tends tC
lesson the purchasing power of the
cummunity must affect them, and the
lesson will probably bear fruit this fall
The outlook for the Republicans il
Delaware, Mr.. Massey thought was o
very encouraging nature.

The Giggling Habit.

A serious aspect of the giggling habit
is that it is so nearly incorrigible.
Mannerisms of all kinds strike their
roots deeply, but che he !" and "ha,!
ha !" become part and parcel of the Of
tenders against reason and taste. That
which makes the listener nervous to
irritability, fretting the amiable into a
desire to smother the meaningless
cackle in the throat that gives it birth
If he cannot escape beyond hearing of
it, is practised involuntarily by the ha-
bitual laugher. Like the famous but
ton on the learned advocates coat,
with which he fumbled incessantly
while pleading, the giggle would, if
suddenly taken away, deprive its slave
of the power of speech. To command
graVely temperate articulation would
be to strike dumb.
The origin of the obnoxious trick is,
of course, in youth and inexperience,
and almost always in native dffidence
or temporary embarrassment. When
the girl has no fitting words at call,
she giggles. When the lad is op.
pressed by a weight of bashfulness,
aud would swagger it off, he outlaws.
In the tyro's opinion a laugh outdoes
charity as a cloak for every defect, and
extricates him from the most trying
position. Affectation is an active ally
in the evil work, and the ambition to
be agreeable brings up the rear guard.
The inteJectional damsel is usually
a giggler as well. Surprise that both
faults are not cured by educators be-
fore they are confirmed passes before
the recollection of the fact that educa-
ton nowadays is accomplished by
means of Textbooks. And textbooks
do not teach the noble art of converse
ton. FOrgetful of the educere which
is the genius of their mission, the max
ers of manuals, and those who apply
them to growing minds, drill and cram
and "tamp," as if blasting, and not
permeatiOn and growth, were the busi-
ness in hand. Our girls and boys
come out from the schools with vOeab-
ularies narrowed rather than enlarged
by the curriculum. The girl who took
the Latin prize last year at Wellesley
giggles and makes giggle with the first
honor man from Yale as effusively as
Robin and Jenny guffaw and litter
over the music books at the village
choir meeting. Sedately cheerful or
animated discussion of any topic ap-
pears alike impracticable to each and
all. The "Ohs" and "ahs" that round
rosy mouths are separated by hyphens
of giggles, and fractured sentences are
bracketed by little shrieks, oftener
sharp than soft.

To Develop Oyster Beds.
HOW 1T IS PROPOSED TO MAKE $4,000
MORE ACRES AVAILABLE.

The Isle of Wright Inlet and OYSTER
Planting Company of Worcester County
Md, has determined to 60 ahead with
the sailing of the Isle of Wright. ASA
woman and Sinepuxent BAYS and their
tributaries for Oyster planting and
farming.
Ihe company has an authorized cap
ital of $400,0 900, and Baltimorean has
undertaken to promote the enterprise
and raise funds for the work. He ex-
poets to 60 TO Connecticut in short
time to interest the oyster dealers of
that section in the project.
The franchise of the company
authorizes it to construct and maintain
a canal across the narrow strip of land
lying between the inland bays of the
Mary land coast aud the Atlantic ocean
thus impregnating the bays with salt
water and making them available for
oyster planting. AS a reward for the
construction and maintenance of the
canal, the company is given control of
one-half of the oyster beds in the in.
land bays.
Mayor Hutton, engineer of the Balt-
more harbor board, says the project is
feasible, and the company has de-
termined to begin constructing the
canal at a point opposite the St. Mar
tins river, above Ocean City.
1t is said that by producing a current
of salt water from the ocean through
the bays an area of rs square miles OF
oyster ground will be made available
$1,000 acres-capable of accOmmodat-
ing an an annual oyster crop of 40 ,OOO,.
600 bushels. worth at the landings
about $20,000,0OO. Chincoteague bay

ground, The beds made available for

Dynamite's Entry on the Field
of War.

The tests Of the dynamite gun at
Sandy Hook last week established
new principle in regard to the defence
of our coast, namely, that hostile war
ships cannot enter the harbOr of New
York. Striking and one.sided as that
proposition may seem, it cannot be
called extravagant after the evidence
of the three shots fired from the
pneumatic gun. Against quarter of
a toAe of dynamite, placed and ex-
plOded with reasonable accuracy, anv
vessel, armored as heavily as they like,
becomes like newspaper; it cannot stay
ahoat. No ship would even dream of
approaching the coast where dynamite
guns of proved efficiency are known to
exist. They might as well sail straight
over Niagara.
The power of shooting a great mass
of high explosive wipes the old limita
tions Of artillery out of existence, mas
much as the great area of destructive,
ness covered by the explosion of 500
pounds of dynamite, makes the ex-
treme precision of an ordinary gun
shot no longer Indispensable. The
mark aimed at will be struck if tha
prOjeotile itself falls within 100 yards
of it.

Maxim's Flying Machine.

The Baltimore Sun gives the follow
ing additional particulars regarding
the Maxim flying machine whose expe-
rimental flight was briefly reported by
cable about two weeks ago: In an ex-
pertinent near Bixby, Kent, England,
recently, Mr.. Maxim and two of his as
sistants travelled through the air on his
flying machine distance of 800 feet.
Observers, including some ripe scient-
lists, declare in consequences that Mr..
Maxim has shown that a flying ma
chine may be made light enough and
strong enough to sail through the air,
carrying its engineers, food and water.
Even Mr.. Huxley is credited with the
belief that within the next century
people will travel above ground with
nearly as much safety as they do now
on water. Mr.. Maxim's machine re-
sembles a huge bird with four wings,
or aeroplanes. 1t is propelled by two
large two-bladed screws resembling
those of a ship. A compound steam
engine, so made as to develop one
horsepower for every two pounds of
its weight, drives the screw propellers.
The total weight of the machine is
5000 pounds, while the engines give a
lifting power of 10000 pounds. 1t was
the surplus fiotatory power of 1000
pounds that caused the accident that
brought the machine to the ground on
the occasion of the last experiment,
when Mr.. Maxim was going at the
rate of Is miles an hour. The excess
of lifting power threw on the controll-
ing axles a strain they had not been
designed to bear. The machine starts
on a light railway about 1000 feet
long. On each side above the rails are
other rails to catch the machine and
keep it from soaring. In other words
the wheels have tracks above as well
as below, and when the machine be-
gins to fly its wheels press against the
upper rails. 1t is shown by expert
ment that il actually does this. The
critical point will be reached when Mr.
Maxim removes his upper rails anC
proceeds to soar above the churcl
steeples.

Prevent Malaria.

This is the season of the year for ma
laria, and while we have not a malaria
climate, we have at times a tendency
to this disease. To prevent its seating
itself in the system it is frequently me-
cessary to use the proper remedies to
stay it off. One of the best is to avoid
night air-exposure to the dews at
night likely produces more malaria
trouble than any other one cause.
Another sure preventative is the use of
quinine and lemon in the morning of
each day. Suck lemon each morn
ing before breakfast and if this of itself
fails, take in conjunction a couple of
grains of quinine, and the strong prob
abilities are that a spell of fever will
be successfully avoided. Long and So
rious spells can be prevented by the
use in due time OF these simple reme-
dies. "a stitch in time saves nine"
SO an ounce of preventive is worth
pound of cure. We suffer by neglect
rather than from climatic conditions.
1t is largely with the individual there
fore if he refuses to ply that which will
prevent he must of necessity suffer the
consequences of his failure to act.

To Remove Stains.
PASTE THIS IN YOUR sCRAPBoOK, FOR
IT WILL BE OFTEN WANTED.

Here are recipes for removing vari-
Gus kinds of stains:
Coffee, Tea and Wines.-If these
stains on the table linen are of long
standing, and have been washed with
soap, it is rather difficult to get rid of
them. But javelle water--which can
be made at home or bought of a drug
gist-is generally most successful.
Put about half pint of javelle water
and a quart of clean water into an
earthen bowl, let the stained article
sock in this for several hours. Then
rinse thoroughly in three. waters. 1t is
only white goods that can be treated in
this manner, as the javelle water
bleaches out the color.
Sewing Machine Oil Stains,-To re-
move these rub the stain with sweet
oil or lard and let it stand for several
hours. Then wash it in soap and cold
water.
Pitch and Tar Stains.-Rub lard on
the stain and let it stand for a few
hours. Sponge with spirits of turpen-
tine until the stain is removed. If the
color of the fabric is changed sponge it
with chloroform and the color will be
restored.
Ink Stains.--Tear blottlng paper in
pieces and hold the rough edges on
the ink when it is freshly spilled, or
cover the spot with Indian meal, or
the liquid ink may be absorbed by cot
ton batting. If ink be spilled on a
carpet, cut lemon in two, remove a
part of the rind and rub the lemon on
the stain. If the ink-stained article be
washed Immediately in several waters
and then in milk, letting it soak in the
milk for several hours, the stain will
disappear, Washing the article imme.
diately in vinegar and water and then
in soap aud water is another remedy
which will remove all ordinary ink
stains. No matter what substance bC
used to remove ink the stain must be
rubbed we'll, If the article stained bt
carpet on the floor, use a brush.
Grass Stains. - Rub the article
stained with alcohol, then wash il
clean water.
