THERE are yet nearly one thousand idle
houses in our city. besides innumerable
idle stores on Market and King streets for
rent. The real estate men report better
demand for houses than at this time last
year which is encouraging There should be
some way by which the landlords should
band together to protect themselves from
the innumerable dead beats who cheat the
landlords out of their rent. People who
do not pay their rent, but move every
month or SO, should be published in the
papers, SO others may be put on their
guard.

IT is held that q Republican United

1T is held that Republican United
States Judge should be appointed to sue
cess the late Judge Wales. Just before
President Harrison went out of Office, he
held up several U. S. appointments
President Cleveland has only some cigh-
teen days to serve as President of the Uni
ted States and the appointment most
surely belongs to the incoming admins
tration. The Hon. Anthony Higgins
name has been suggested, as by bis APP
pointment to the Judgeship, it would take
him out of Delaware politics. He is fully
capable of filling the position, and, being
\ man of middle age, he would be more
available than some of the other men
whose names have been suggested for the
position. A strong effort is being made
TO have the appointment held up until
after the 4th OF March, By the filling of
This vacancy by Democrat every Judge
in our State would be Democrat. This
should not be, as the Republican party,
which is in the majority in New Castle
county, should have some representation.
Better leave the United States Judgeship
vacant for few weeks longer, as nobody
will suffer by the delay.

business has been SO bad nobody having
died, that he has been unable to keep his

brisk up why there would be no trouble

Jim and John.

Jim and John were townsmen and
| chums, and went out to see base ball.
1t was a red-hot afternoon, and the
bleachers were like frying pans at
breakfast time. Jim had bald head
and John had crick in the back. They
sat for an underdone roast and laughed
at everything. Jim's bald spot was
shining mark, like brass dOor-plate.
A stray ball, fierce and sharp, from
false bat, struck the spot and ploughed
furrow. 1t dazed him. Jim's eyes
and face looked like sick owls, and
John laughed. He laughed an hour
straight along. The game ran late into
twilight. Meanwhile, John had shed
his coat, and cool, damp draft got in
its work on his back. The time came
to leave, but John couldn't. He couldn't
bend or get up. Lumbago had set in
in its worst form. He laughs best who
laughs last. and Jim had revenge. But
they got down town to Jim's room,
when he said: Here's something all
those athletes use for hurts and all
ments, and it's the best known cure for
lame back" He rubbed it on Johns
back and some on his own head. They
were both feeling cured and comforta-
bic from the use of st. jacobs OIL,
which Jim always kept in handy
place. lie was a sport himself aud
knew what was best. They went to
bed. John laughed in his sleep. Both
rose in the morning fresh as daisies.
Then Jim laughed at John.

a Rebel Relic

In cleaning out the vault in his offic,
at Lansing, Mich, few days ago
Col. Richardson, assistant adjutant
general, ran across the original ord
nance record Of the Second Corps
Army Of Northern Virginia, s. c. A.
from April 1, 1868, to the close of the
war.
How it came into the possession oi
Michigan Is not known, but it is sup
posed it was captured by some Aichi
gan company. 1t contains detailed
statement of the cost Of all ordnance
issued by the Richmond arsenal, and
some of the prices are startling.
A saddle is listed at $135; bride, $40
halter, $25; horse brush, $3.50; curry.
comb, SO. All ordnance Of metal was
sold by weight, vent punch of steel
weighing one and one-half' ounces
costing $3.50, while an eight-pound
iron tar bucket cost $23.20.

Cause of Holes in Umbrellas.

One of the fruitful causes of holes in
the folds of an umbrella is improper
care when it is wet. To roll up wet
umbrella is to invite the dyes to rot it,
and one of the banes of the umbrella
manufacturer is loaded dye on silk
Out # 100 samples of silk omitted to
the writer, not over ten were pure dye,
and 80 per cent. of the silk thread sub
mitted was overloaded with dye and
would not stand our chemical test.
This is 4 fruitful cause of trouble in
umbrellas, and our concern insists :
all the SILK and silk threads standing 4
chemical test in this respect. When
over-dyed silks are wet and the UNI
brellas rolled and set away, we find the
owners complaining that their umbrel-
las are cracked in the folds. Fine holes
appear and they are apt to return the
umbrella to the merchant and claim
damage

Cou,dn,t Conxer, Him to Poetry


An English paper says that there was
once in one Of the great universities 4
mathematical tutor who boasted that
be neither knew nor cared to know
anything about poetry. 1t was all, be
said, "a lot of impractical rot"
He had a friend, brother tutor in
literature, who was anxious to convert
him to liking for poetry. This friend
thought he would begin with a poem
which everybody must like, and gave
the mathematician Tennyson's Charge
Of the Light Brigade to read.
The mathematician took it up and
read thus:
"Half league, half league, half a
league onward"
Then he banged the book down on the
table.
"Bahr he snorted. IF the fool meant
league and a half, why on earth
didn't he say so?'
The man of letters gave up the at
tempt to convert his friend to liking
for poetry.

Au,,r,a,s Impe.s,l Pawnshop,

Austria has an Imperial pawnshop.
It was established in Vienna in 11O7,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part of the
empire. 1t was designed as a way td
secure to the starving some means OF
immediate relief, and by putting the
rate of interest as low as possible and
the valuations as high as possible, and
embodying in the system every adj
vantage that could be given to those
who sought to make loans, it was found
to be so effective that it soon gained
the Imperial sanction. and it was not
long until its managers were made
public officials under the direction OF
the Minister of the Interior. This is
substantially the status of the institu-
ton at this time. The rates are so low
that the business done ON the cheap
goods and chattels of the poor could
not possibly make the establishment
self-sustaining: but people who have
been suddenly reduced in circum-
stances or who are temporarily embar-
rassed keep the margins on the right
side and enable the institution to keep
open without the aid of a subsidy. In
the year 1893 total of S6G,015 articles
were pledged. and of these 4S,563
We're redeemed, remarkable redemp-
ton as compared with the proportions
of the average pawnshop. The unre-
deemed pledges were sold at public
auction, and whenever they brought
more than the face Of the pledge tho
balance was set 10 the account Of the
pledger, TO be refunded any time with
in three years-London Standard
