VALUABLE SEEDS.
\ Believer in Agricultural Products
Tells of Recent Distribution.

Five thousand sun flower seeds have
been distributed here and upon the
other Islands. which means tons OF
malaria the less. Ten thousand Papai
seeds have also been distributed,
which means ten thousand less cathar-
tic pills to swallow.
The Rural Californian says of this
latter plant: Vegetable pepsine is
the name given to the Juice of unripe
fruit of the papaw (carica papaya),
plant widely distributed throughout
the tropics. 1t is a handsome tree,
growing to height of fifteen to
twenty feet, absorbing a tremendous
quantity of moisture from the soil.
THE useful properties of this plant
have for ages been utilized by natives
of the various countries where it
grows, and the writings of tourists
give numerous instances OF its use,
more especially in the way of utiliz-
ing the solvent properties of the juice
for the purpose of making tough meat
tender. When fed to old fowls the
meat becomes quite tender. If tough
meat is wrapped in the leaves or plac-
ed in the juice of the plant for a short
time it soon becomes tender. The at
tention of medical men was thus
drawn to this plant. and many expe-
riments were made by them. The ac-
tive principle of the juice being sue
cessfully extracted, and called Pep
sine.
This has been used with success II,
the treatment of enlarged spleen and
liver, intestinal worms, and for the
treatment of abnormal growths, being
very etiicacious in removing the false
membranes of Group and diphtheria.
ut has also been successfully used
with boraX in the treatment of obsti-
nate cases of eczema. The plant pro-
pagates readily, being hardy, even
when young, and when ten to twelve
months old begins to bear, yielding all

A few weeks ago the editor was ia
ken with very severe cold that had
caused him to be in most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly a bad
case of la grippe and recognizing the
danger he took immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results is putting it very
mildly indeed. 1t acted like magic,
and the result was a speedy and per-
manent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough
Remedy to any one afflicted with ii
cough or cold in any form.-The Ban

\ BLOODY FIELD.

The bloodiest single day fight of the
whole war was at Antietam, Nd, Sep
TENDER II, 1862. The Union army
lost POS men killed. 9,549 wounded,
and 500 missing. The Confederate
loss has been figured to have been
quite as large, making 1900 killed.
10000 wounded, and 1900 missing in
one days fight, which was, after all,
almost drawn battle, and decided
nothing that day, though it was dis
astrous in its effect on the Confeder-
ate army.

WEST CHESTER, Feb. 9.-Ex-Con-
gressman Smedley Darlington yester-
day handed out for publication a state
ment concerning the suit instituted
against him by the Third National
Bank Of Philadelphia, for the recovery
of $4,000. in which he declares that he
to-day effected a settlement with the
plaintiff.
During the panic of 1893" he says,
II borrowed $4,000 of the bank, in or
der tc furnish the Chester County

pany funds with which to meet the un-
usual demands made upon it at that
time This debt was reduced from time
to time to $4,000. On February 8, the
bank demanded the money at sight. /

day suit was brought, and in fifteen
days judgment would have been taken

would have much preferred that no
such action be taken. But desired to
secure to them any advantage from a

amply protected by collateral.
Il nave this day paid the bank in

] the $4,000 of Western mortgages held
by il as collateral If time is given,
other good Western mortgages can be
realized upon. If debts are to be col

tered. there will be losses; otherwise
there will be none. A word to the wise
is sufficient"

STORY OF THE DAY.
PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAI
DAuGHTER.

PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL
DAUGHTER.
There was a certain rich woman who
had two daughters, and the younger
said unto the mother: Mother, yield
unto me that portion of your wealth
which is my heritage" And hermOther
did even so. And it came to pass that
the young woman gathered together
her bicycle repair kit and her heritage
and journeyed into far country, which
was Kansas-the land OF cyclones and
cmancipated women. And the multi
tudes of emancipated women gathered
about her in exceeding great numbers
and gave unto her the merry hand, for
She was possessed Of exceeding great
wealth. Moreover, they were struck
with the mannish cut Of her neither
garments. And they jollied the young
woman nightly. and nominated her
for governor. And she stumped the
state and spake speeches which were
inscribed for her by a notary. And
soon she had wasted what her mother
had given her in ice cream and trolley
parties for her constituents. And when
she had spent all she became wroth in
the collar, for she had lost the election
and those who had fawncd upon her ia
prosperity now sat upon the seat Of the
scornful and greeted her with the mar
BILE heart After she had suneret
awhile she bethought herself of hel
mothers house and the hot biscuit
which her father used 10 bake. Ant
she lifted up her voice and wept an'
rent her blocmers in twain and said
II will arise and so unto my mother.
And she did even SO. And IL came 4
pass that on the evening Of the fourt
day. as she was pedaling wearily nj
the bicycle path leading to her home
her mother saw her from afar off am
ran to greet her, and fell upon her necl
and kissed her And the wandere
cried: Mother, / am no longer worth
to be called thy daughter, for / ha
great wealth and yet was defeated u
politics." But her mother sought Z
soothe her and gave unto her ne'
bicycle lamp and a cyclometer. An
said unto the servants: Bring swel
raiment and order mutton wit
peas on the side, and we will eat, drin
and be merry. for the wanderer is re
turned and She that was lost is found.
And stringed instruments discourse
the sweet strains of "She May Hay
Seen Better Days and the servin
man. as he shuffled to and fro, hum
med softly to himself: just Tell Thei
That You Saw Me- And they fe
upon the mutton and devcurei 1t q

to 20 per cent, or from one to two mill
lion children, in these United States
growing up in ignorance. And we are
especially sorry when we know that at
least One-twentieth of the children of
Delaware do not attend any school,
and about One-tenth receive but little
education. What can we expect from
these large mum bers when they arrive at
maturity and exercise the right offran-
chise? We certainly cannot expect all
of them to be good citizens, and vote
on election day according to the die
tates Of their own cOnsciences. l do
not mean to say that it is impossible
for an ignorant person TO vote intelli-
gently. but l do say that a boy we'll
trained at home and at school is far
more likely to discharge the important
and responsible duties of citizenship
than one allowed to press bricks.
I'VE may stop the purchase of votes
to some extent by legal enactment, but
/ am not prepared to believe that the
cure OF the disease will be brought about

civics in our schools will do more 10
raise our citizenship than all the statu-
tory measures that can be passed by
the Legislature. or all the provisions
against votelhuying that can be put
into the Constitution.
Il believe it would be a grand thing
to have civil government taught in
our public schools and our teachers eX-
amined on this subject. No one doubts
that our public school children should
be taught the relation that they should
sustain to the state, and the relation
The state sustains to them. The true
function of public education is to pre-
pare our children for the duties of citi
zenship.'
