times. At her last wedding four of her
former husbands were present and
acted as ushers. The fifth sent his re-
grets and a present, and an invitation
to the bride and groom TO spend the
honeymoon at his house. The average
term of servitude for these husbands
was ten months; all the divorces were
granted upon the application of the
lady. without opposition. The disco
lution of matrimonial ties has been
due TO the tact and diplomacy of the
lady, who charged uncongeniality.

"When was young man," says

veying the route of a proposed railway.
An old farmer with whom stopped for

me figuring i'll the field, that mathemat-
les always seemed q wonderful thing to
him. Being young and enthusiastic, 1
began to enlarge its wonders, telling
him how we could measure the dis
tances to different planets, and even
weigh them; how we could ascertain
the height of mountains without scaling
them and many other things which 1
meant should astonish him.
"You can imagine how he set me

REGISTRATION MATTERS.
Inc Democrats are Not Claiming so Much
as they Did on Monday

Democrats in New Castle county
since they have examined the registra-
tion returns of last Saturday are not
making such remarkable claims as
they did at first. They now admit
that the coming political contest will
be very interesting, which, of course,
is an admission that the Democrats
have been making considerable bluff
on their claims.
The registration figures show that
the Republican party is now in
better shape than it has been for years.
1t is true that it is behind in registra-
tion when the total strength of the
party is considered, but the Demo-
cratic party is also over 1900 votes
short of, its vote on the registration,
so that the Republican party is in
much better shape than it has been for
several years.
The returns show that the Republi-
cans have come out strongly in the
Democratic hundreds of the county,
and the Democratic districts of Will
mington, and that they have more than
| held their own in the Republican dis
tricts.
In Sussex counry Democrats feel
elected, but they hope for majority
in the Legislature. Handy's friends
accordingly want to oust Gray, but the
majority of the Democrats in lower
Sussex are Gray men, and the wal
wages fiercely.
Republican leaders are "whooping
it up" to perfection in Nanticoke hun.
dred. Until two years ago this hun
dred never failed to go Democratic by
a large majority. Last election, how
ever, it went Republican and Demo
Gratis Immediately raised a great hue
and cry about bribery, etc. Wha
their cry will be this fall after the
election cannot as yet he told, but it is
plainly evident that the election will
result in a Republican walk-over il
that hundred.
1t appears that the Sussex Demo
Gratis of the Bayard type have become
so disgusted at the doings of their owl
party during the past few elections
that they are refraining from taking
any active part in the present cam
paign. This accounts in q measur,
for the apathy in the Democratic rank
of Sussex county.

Clothespins are an American COM
modify. Some clothespins are made in
Sweden and in Scotland, but they are
big and clumsy, twice the size of the
American pins and whitfield out by
hand. Olothespins are made chiefly of
beech and of maple, but some are made
of tupelo wood. They are made entirely
by machinery, counted into boxes con-
tanning 720 each by machinery, and the
boxes are nailed up by machinery. 1t
might almost be said that blocks of
wood fed to machines at one end come
out boxed clothespins at the other. They
are made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are two grades of clothespins,
firsts and seconds. First grade pins can
be bought for 30 cents a box. The pro-
duction of clothespins is enormous, mil
lions of boxes annually. The coHsump-
tion in this country keeps pace with the
growth of the population, and great
numbers are exported. Even people in
the trade wonder what becomes of all
the clothespins.

A BurgInr1a Mistake:

"When / looked into the dining room
Of house that was in one night" "
said the retired burglar, az saw man
sitting in a chair perohed upon the din
ing room table. That seemed singular
place for man to get to sit, drunk or
sober, but thought I'd have to give
him a chance to get tired of sitting
there and go to bed before began, for
If didn't he might wake up any min
ute and interrupt things. So took
seat in big leather chair in the library,
next room, and waited for him to wake
up. When I'd waited what 1 thought
was reasonable time without hearing
from him, looked in again, and there
he was, still sitting there, just the same.
"But this time, even in that light,
there was something peculiar about him,
and ventured to turn my own light on
him now, and then saw that 1t WASH {
a man at all, but a suit of clothes, with
a hat on top, set up there to dry after
being wet in the rain. The man that
had worn them had been abed and asleep
for hours, but his clothes had served for
a scarecrow mighty we'll, for I'd sat
there waiting for them to- go to bed SO
long that 1t was now too late for busi-

Lfghtntnr,n Assnuita.

One Of the best evidences of the value
Of lightning rods up to date has been
afforded by the Washington monument.
1t is capped by small four sided pyra-
mid of aluminium, which metal, so
cheap today, was very costly at the
time of the building Of the greatest
obelisk that the world has ever known.
This aluminium tip is connected with
the ground by four copper rods which
go down deep into the earth. On April
8, 1885, five immense bolts of electrici-
ty were seen to flash between the monu-
ment and thundercloud overhanging
in the course of 90 minutes. In other
words, the monument was struck fierce
ly five times, but it suffered no damage
whatever.
On June 10 of the same year a more
tremendous assault was made upon the
monument from the heavens, and the
result was fracture of one of the top
most stones. The crack still remains to
show what nature can do in the way Of
an electrical shock, bat the slightness
of the damage is evidence of mans
power to protect himself from such at
tacks. The obelisk is ideally located for
attracting electrical assaults from the
skies, and yet, while many times hit, it
has suffered only once. and that time to
trifling extent. Boston Transcript.

The Hour of Lincoln,s shooting.

A highly interesting story is told to
account for the fact that almost every
wooden clock in America has it's hands
painted to indicate the hour of 18 min
utes past s. 1t is related that most such
watchmakers' signs were originally
made by one man, who was at first in
the habit of painting the hands to indi-
cate any old or young hour that struck
his fancy when he came to that part Of
the job. But when President Lincoln
was assassinated he conceived the idea
Of commemorating the event by record
ing the hour and minute thereof upon
all his wooden timepieces, a custom
ever since perpetuated. There is some
thing striking and dramatic about this
notion of time standing still forever
after an event Of such tragic signifi-
canoe. There is no doubt about the fact
that nearly all the wooden clocks do in
dicate the hour Of 1S minutes past 6.
You can see that for yourself. But If the
clockmaker thought he was thereby re-
cording the hour of the assassination
his intelligence was as wooden as his
wares, for President Lincoln was shot
not at 18 minutes past s, but at about
15 minutes past 1O.-New York Post.
