Needless Precautions,

The placing of torpedoe' in the Delaware
River Is useless procaution. A Spanish
cruiser will never attempt to come up that
stream as it is too far from any coaAng
station, and no commander Of vessel Is
/ such fool as to run into such q trap.
Even If coal were abundant the navigation
Of the river Is too dangerous for any large
vessel to attempt to reach our city without
pilot, even if Fort Delaware had not n
single gun ready for action Thus far the
Spanish feet has not shown any DISPOSE
ton to assail our soaboard cities, much
less tc come up the Delaware and what is
more, unless our American SQuadrons arc
mere shams, we need not lay torpot1cs in
any harbor on our Eastern coast The
lack of u supply of coal will lead the
Spanish cruisers to keep within $3.50 miles
of their depots Of supplies. WI outy
SPANS cruis to cOntenh with we shall
have no need Of using turpedo's ON tho
Atlantic coast, and the money they cost
could be much more sonB'bIy applied to

Dog Whippcrs in Churches.

In former days almost every church
in this neighborhood York. had an
official who discharged dog-whipping
functions; it was in many cases the
sexton, though sometimes o person
was appointed to the post who filed
no other Office. In the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth, William Dobson was the
church dog whipper at Kirton-in-Lind
sey. At the same place, in 1868, the
Church Wardens' accounts show q
charge of Is. for whipping dogs, and
as late as 1917 Robert Robertson was
paid 6s. Sd. for discharging similar
functions. In plan Of the seats in
Alkborough Church, made in 1851, q
pew near the south door is marked
''the dog whipper.
The dog whipper, however, was not
unknown over the sea. A writer in
the Ecclesiologist for 1852 remarks in
regard to the Church of st. Bavon at
HARLEM, that "the windows of the
north aisle are of three lights" The
fifth bay opens into the pretty little
Hondenslagerskapel. These func-
tionaries-the dog whippers-had SIM
liar honor in other countries. In
Portuguese catAedrals, for instance, q
Capella dos Enxutacanes will often be
found.-Notes and Queries.

Patent Life.Saving Belt.

Among recent English patents is a
belt for saving life, which consists Of
a band of canvas, with cork layers at
intervals. Attached to the ..belt are
four floats or bladders Of rubber, with
a protective covering. This is strapped
around the body under the arms, the
bladders being inflated with air by the
wearer by blowing through tube
which runs around the belt, and is
fitted with q self-closing valve. The
filling takes less than half minute.
Equipped with one Of these belts. a
man can walk into deep water with his
clothes and shoes on, and be supported
with ease in perpendicular position
without making any effort. He can,
in fact, smoke cigar while in the
water. This life preserver does not
prevent it's wearer from swimming, but
| If he is exhausted it enables him to
float in an erect position, it being i'm
possible for his head to fall under the
water. A passenger OF sea who is ner'
vous can wear belt under his clothes
without it's being noticed by his fellow
travellers. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Food, Work and Sleep.

What great mistake it is to con-
tend that time taken from toll for
sleep and recreation is time lost!
There is no greater fallacy, for sleep
and recreation form, as it were, the
cement put in to fill up the joints in
order to keep out the weather and pre-
serve the edifice. A man does not
necessarily require riches, honors or
ofdce-although the majority Of us
naturally have an ambition to attain
one of these desiderata-but he does
need food, work and sleep. It fol-
lows, therefore, that he should use
every means to promote life, and
among these there are three things to
be kept in mind. When a man denies
himself sleep, food, and the exercise
work gives both to brain and bolJ, he
is robbing his life Of its full term.
Let him be cheerful also, for the body
is like an engine-it will run well
and long if it is we'll oiled. Content
ment and cheerfulness are the oil
which keeps the nerves from wearing
out.

Tho Railroad Worm.

The railroad worm hos done a vast
deal of damage to the apple crop. It
is often mentioned but rarely de-
scribed, aud many people are not
aware what this mischievous creature
is or of what his work consists. Some
day they may pick up an apple, beau
tiful, smooth and bright on the out
side. It is cut open and numerous
dark lines appear in it. These are
what may be called underground chan.
nels of this pest. It would seem that
''tunnel worm" would be better
name for it, as its progress is series
of chambers burrowed through the
best part of the apple, sometimes go.
ing around and around the core, and
often approaching the outside, but
only occasionally touching the skin.
1t is almost impossible to find any
amount of good in some of the speci-
mems examined, the whole space be.
tween core and skin being traversed
by the worm.

Naming Plants.

When naming plant in honor Of
some man liberties are frequently
taken with the photography, and very
often the person chosen is more honi
ored in the name than by anything
special that he did to deserve it. The
celebrated French botanist, Baillou,
had the naming Of q plant from thd
island of Juan Fernandez, that had
never before been named or described.
From that island he had naturally the
story of Robinson Crusoe in mind, and
he thought, to honor Crusoe's man
Friday, he would give this plant his
name; but he did not call it Fridaya,
but translated it into the French name
for Friday-that is to say, the sixth
day of the week, Vendredi, and the
plant is described in the books as
Eendredia. No one would ever sus.
i, '3ct from this name that it was in.
!. 1ded to honor Robinson Crusoe's
! !e companion on the desolate island.

Poop ut G Big Larder.

The general cold storage room is the
largest refrigerated, and here ore kept
the general stores, such as canned
goods, meats, vegetables, eggs, etc.,
so that it looks exactly like wholesale
produce house. In it are some thirty.
four doors, so that the difficulty Of
maintaining the low temperature Of
thirty-four degrees is evident. The
freezing chamber which branches of
from this one is kept ct eighteen de.
grees Fahrenheit, and in it are stored
the fish, poultry and game. A milk
box about ten feet long by four wide
and nearly four deep is used for stor-
ing the milk and cream as it is re.
ceived, aud is kept just above freezing
point, or at thirty-two degrees. Then
there are several short-order boxes for
keeping meats from meal to meal.
The butter, cheese and fruit for i'm.
mediate use are stored in another
room. One of the strangestplaces for
a refrigerator box to tho uninitiated
would seem to be in the bakery, but
here the pastry has to be kept stiff,
buildings cooled, berries preserved
fresh, fresh preserves for baking pur-
poses kept sweet, so that the pastry
section is quite important and most
interesting sight. A still stranger
room is what is known as the "pitcher
room," where the shelves are filed
with rows upon rows of pitchers filled
with ice and water and ready for in.
slant use. The "bar box" (which is
in reality room twelve feet square
and eight feet high, for storing wines
and beers and kept at temperature
of forty-two to forty-four degrees, is
an important adjunct to the house,
