The gross earnings of the system were
largely increased over the previous year.
The freight earnings show gain of
$475, 20227, and there was an increase
also in the mail, express and miscellan-
eous business, the only falling off being
in the revenue from passenger traffic,
The expenses show reduction, the in
crease in motive power, maintenance of
cars, and conducting transportation
having been much more than offset by a
marked decrease in the expenses of
maintenance of way. AS result there
was gain in the net earnings of
$500, 7sl.44.
Additional sidings were constructed
at Perryville, Edgemoor, west yard,
Wilmington, and Linwood. Seven
miles of new track were laid, in the
construction of which there were used
553 tons of new steel and 20 1895 ties.

to the favorable fruit crop before re-
ferred to, shows material gain for the
year, its gross earnings having increased
$236, 560.7S, its expenses but $20,29S. IS,
and the increase in net earnings being
$216,2S1.60. After meeting the interest
on it's bonds and paying the regular
dividend upon its stock, one-half Of the
surplus was, under the terms of the
lease, turned over to your company and
the other half to the sinking fund for
the redemption of its bonds. The
branch lines connected with the Della
ware railroad show decreased loss as
compared with the preceding year.

much fuss over the operation could once see the work done as we did in celery fields near Mount Morris, N. Y., where the men used hoes like the one here illustrated, it would dawn upon them that celery can be handled with a small fraction of the effort usually wasted upon it. The tool consists of an old hoe to the blade of which 8 piece of wornout cross-cut saw, eight cen inches long, is fastened by rivets as shown. Two men, each provided with one of these hoes, operate on one row, one walking on one side, plying the hoe across the row, the other on the other side. If one man does the work alone, he hills one side first, then going back, the other. The operator standing on one side of the row. sets the hoe (blade in line with row) about eighteen inches or more from it on the other side, and simply draws the loose mucky soil up against the stalks, thus bending them upward, and making them grow upright and compact. It is an easy piece of work in such soils. On our grounds it only works well when the soil is kept very loose and mellow by thorough cultivation.- American Gardening.

Spraying for Apple Scab.

MT. s. D. Willard writes that the most marked effect of spraying for ap- pie scab is to be seen on the grounds of the Geneva experiment station. Prof. Beach took a certain number of rows in the apple orchard and sprayed them thoroughly with bordeau mix ture, at the same time leaving an equal number not treated. The rows treated are entirely. free from any evi- dence of the disease, while the others are filled with it.

be cleaned out and the gourd boiled in water for an hour or more. A little borax or alum should be added.
 No better receptacle in which to put garden and other seeds away for next years use need be desired than good dried gourds, with the stems cut of, and a stopper of soft wood or cork fit ted in like the stopper of a bottle. When the end of the stem is neatly sawed or cut off, the seeds or pith should be removed with wire or sharp stick, and the gourd boiled to tougher it. Before fitting the stopper strong cord may be wound around the neck which will prevent any lia- bility to crack when the stopper is put in tight. The neck is dipped in melted wax to keep the cord in place. A loop of cord serves to hang up each gourd on a nail, or they may be placed on upper shelves, as the seeds are put in them, after being well dried. The la bels from seed packets may be pasted on the gourds to represent the kind of seeds contained in them, or the names may be printed with pen and ink.
 Gourds made into seed receptacles are shown in Fig. 9. For saving seeds the small gourds are the best. Larger gourds, with the stems cut off and the seeds removed, make neat mantel or table ornament, in which small bou- quets of flowers or wild grasses may be handsomely arranged. Ornament the 9ourd with brush and paint, or pen and ink, after your own ideas, and half fill with sand to give weight and put in any pretty flowers or grasses you have and see if the effect is not tasty as we'll as inexpensive. Gourd bouquet holders are shown in Fig. g.. If desired these holders may be stained any color with the common dyes Walter H. Garrison, in Farm and Home.

It Is . Table Built Around the Trunk of
 Tree.
 House plants must have their sum- mer outing as we'll as house people, and one often sees them set about on the doorsteps and ground. If there is tree on the ground novel table for them may be made about it's trunk, as shown in the illustration.
 Two cross pieces are first spiked se- curely to the tree to serve as supports for the platform, which is made of boards fitted around the trunk. Four props are cut from slender branches and fastened underneath. These should be as little trimmed as possible, to give more rustic effect. And the same effect may be given to the edges of the platform by mailing on rough strips for finish. These strips are obtained by splitting two-inch sap ling" lengthwise, the halves being then applied to the platform edges. The little table is then ready for it's load.
 If some of the plants are vlnes they will take very kindly to the strong.

A Narrow Escape.

Jules Carlo of Juneau, Alaska, is one
of the few men who are able to tell
how it feels to be buried alive, from ex-
perience. He was living at the time at
New Westminster, B. c.. One morning
he had gone into a restaurant and order
ed his breakfast when all of a sudden
he fell dead At least that is what the
doctors said of him, though he was con-
sclous of what was passing around him
all the time He was laid out for bur-
ial, and his friends kept the usual vigil
over him. He was put into the coffin
and borne to the cemetery, all the time
realizing the terrible fate that was about
to oyertake him, but unable by word or
sign to do anything to prevent it. He
was lowered into the grave, but happi-
ly, as tho first clod ratified on his coffin,
he began to feel the blood pulsating at
his heart, and his powers returned to
him. He found that he could move his
lands and began to hammer on the cof-
fin lid and call for help. The startled
pallbearers stopped shoveling dirt into
the grave, while the majority of those
gathered at the grave fled away as for
their lives. He called again, and one
courageous friend jumped into tho
grave, and unfastening the coffin lid,
Carrie was taken out feeling as well as
he ever did in his life.-New Orleans

Tho ORIGIN Of sacrI.,ce.

In primitive times tho evil seemed
more abundant than tie good. The
earth gave but tparsely its good, while
me weeds aud tho tliofns sprang up ev.
mywhere. The evil powers seemed to be
the strongest. The sun. however bene-
fetal, bears tho sunstroke that blights,
together with the sunbeam that fructi-
hes. Every deity had therefore touch
Of the demon in him, and religion in
Its first stage began rather with the
Precipitation Of demons than with the
worship of a good god or gods.
1t was only at much later stage in
mans development that the blessings
became more pronounced than the
curses; that the good god was separated
fromthe evil. An Ahriman existed in the
primitive mind before an Ormuzd It
may be affirmed that il early man had
esteemed the powers as purely benevo-
lent beings no would not originally
have brought a sacrifice. 1t was only be-
cause he recognized the malevolence In
the powers that dread impelled him to
present them a propitiatory gift. The
Latin poet might therefore well say that
fear was the first creator of the gods"
-"Primus in orbe deos fecit timor."
