AN EXCLUSIVE COLONY,
the Du Points Have Even Their
Own G~raveyard.

Those who work in the Du Pont pow
der mills on the Brandywine, in Del
aware, form a queer colony, says the
New York Press They are all Irish
people whose ancestors me to this
country when the Du Points started in
business and went to work for them.
For generations the Du Points and these
people have passed their positionsfrom
father to son. Like their EMPLOYERS,
they intermarry and are very exclusive.
They live on what are called Du Points
banks, which are about three miles
from Wilmington. The people of Will
mington know hardly anything about
them, for they have few outside ac-
quaintances. and their visits are not fire.
quent. The hills about the banks are
the highest in Delaware, and it is at the
base of them that these workers live.
The town is lighted at night by the
electric plant in the works. The people
hav their own places of amusement, the
principal being the Brandywine club,
which has a finer building than anyclub
in Wilmington. They also have dances
and theatricals frequently. Nearly
every one of them has lost a relative by
an accident in the works. They have
their own graveyard, too.

The Omaha Exposition.

When the Worlds fair at Chicago
ceased to exist, it was supposed that
we should never look upon it's like
again. However, the Trans-Missis-
sippi exposition at Omaha has effect
lively reproduced in similarity all of
the buildings which made the White
City SO attractive in 1898.
1t does not now take weeks to wan
der through grounds and structures
and then be compelled to 60 away
with q tumble of ideas, for the Omaha
exposition people have prOfted by
past experience, and have SO i'm
proved the arrangement of exhibits
that no than two or three days
OF time need be consumed in admira-
ton and inspection of the marvellous
resources of the West, collected to-
gether in the chief city of Nebraska.
Even the new Midway is a repro
duction of the far-famed Sire" of All
Nations of 1898, with many approve
ments upon the original.
The electric lighting of the build
ings, grounds and lagoon at night
makes a scene of enchanting beauty,
alone worth travelling a thousand
miles to see.
The means of communication be-
tween the city and the grounds are
ample, and the distance to be tray
ersed is short.
The ways of reaching Omaha are
innumerable, but chief among them
is the direct Chicago and Omaha
short line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railway, with its electric
lighted. v%estibuled trains. Dining

Excursion tickets are on sale at
every coupon ticket Office in the United
States over the Chicago, Milwaukee

PAY OF TRAINED NURSES.
Their Duties Are SOmetimes Very Ar
duOus, and Continuous Work Is
Next to Impossible.

The average sum paid to pupil nurses
is ten dollars a month for the first wear
and $14 a month during the second
year, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil
in the Ladies' Home Journal. The re-
Enumeration varies in different institu-
tons. In a few training schools the
nurses are paid nothing. After gradua-
ton head nurses in hospital wards re-
ceive from $50 to $50 per month; SUI
perintendents from $500 to 81, 200 a year.
District nurses, who are employed by
various churches, societies, and some
times by private b~enevolence to work
among the sick poor, receive about the
same salary as a head nurse in a hospi-
tai, exclusive of board.
Private nurses receive from SIS to $25
a week. They have to pay the rent of
a room to use as a headquarters, and
their earnings are more or less pre-
carious. 1t is rare for a nurse to be I'M
ployed all the time, and her work is so
arduous that it would be impossible for
her to stand the strain of continuous
work.

ONLY WOLF LEFT IN IRELAND.
Last of n Pack of DiRgOs Imported to
Ireland Shot by a
of Pa~riia1nent

The dingo is the wild dog of Aus
tralia. 1t is not only wolfsh in ap-
pearance, but also in appetite, and it
has a strong prediction for lamb and
mutton. Some forty years ago, says
the Westminster Budget: a learned pro-
fessor, who was the curator of the
geological gardens In Phoenix park,
Dublin, imported a number of these
interesting animals from Australia, APP
parently with the idea that as they
were good for sheep" they would be
useful to the west of Ireland farmers
as sheep dogs. From the natural his
tory point of view, the result of the ex-
pertinent was satisfactory-to the dogs.
OF course, they were got rid of as speed
lily as possible, but several appear to
have packed and committed a good
deal Of havoc among the sheep in some
districts. The specimen which Mr..
John Roche, the Irish member of par
lament, shot recently must be one of
the descendants of these wild dogs.
The strange thing is that the animal
should I've remained undiscovered so
long. Mr.. Roche thought at first that
he had secured a wolf but there can
be no doubt that that creature has dis
appeared entirely from Ireland. The
wolf of hunger is the only wild beast
left in the west of Ireland.

Three Doctors i'm Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin


when you are sick, what you like best is to
be chosen for a medicine in the first place;
what experience tells you is best, to be chosen
in the second place; what reason Il. e. theory
says is best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get Dr.. Inclination, DR.. Expert
ence and DR.. Reason to hold a consultation to-
gether, they will give you the best advice that
can be taken"
When you have a bad cold DIR. I%nclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DR.. Experience would re-
commend it because 1t never fails to eff
feet a speedy and permanent cure DR..
Reason would recommend it because it is
prepared on scientific principles, and
acts on natures plan in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions and restor-
ing the system to a natural and healthy
condition. For sale by Chas. A Gamm.

SPANS
The Causes Are Internal and Spring
from Pride, Conservatism
and C~iericaIisn.

When Charles Y. was obliged to re-
nounce the dream of a universal mon
archy and to abandon the Holy Roman
empire to his brother Ferdinand, says
Henry G.. Lea in the Atlantic. he was
still able to make over to his son Philip
II. territories which rendered Spain the
preponderating power in the civilized
world. Besides his ancestral domin-
ions in the Peninsula, to which, in 1880,
he added Portugal, Philip was master
of the wealthy Netherlands, of Milan
and Naples, of the Mediterranean is
lands, and of the New World. His rev.
enues far exceeded those of any other
monarch, his armies were admitted to
be the most formidable in Europe, and
his command of the sea was disputed
only by the Turk, whose navy he
crushed at Lepanto. until the disasters
of the armada gave warning that the
old methods of maritime warfare were
becoming obsolete. In every way the
supremacy of Spain was the dread Of
the nations, and its destruction was the
cherished object of statesmen for a CEN
fury. 1t was not their efforts, however,
which accomplished the result. Oil
wares, it Is true, was overmatched by
Richelieu, but Spain had a vantage
ground enabling her to hold her OWN
against external assault. The causes Of
her ~decadence were internal; they were
numerous, but may be roughly defined
as springing from pride, conservati sm
and clericalism.

WISE PARROT.
In Captivity, Yet 1t Lays Eggs ONLY
ON Good Friday and Easter


Here are two occurrences far re-
moved from the ordinary. The truth is
vouched for by local papers in the
neighborhood where they are said to
have taken place:
In lronton, o., Mr.. w. H. Horton, a
well-known citizen, is the proud pos
SCISSOR OF a parrot that lays eggs in cap
tivity- This of itself is said to be re-
markable, as these tropical beauties get
out of the egg-laying habit when Gagged.
But this bird did more. A year g she
laid an egg on Good Friday and another
on Easter Sunday. That was all. This
year, remembering the day and date,
she did the same thing. Just how she
kept track without an almanac is the
wonder. She will be watched next year,
and if the same thing happens she will
be looked upon as a marvel, indeed.

THE INVINCIBLE ARMADA.
Some Historfca Points About Spafn'a
Formidable But stOrm-Wrecked
E1eef.

A correspondent Of the New York
Press recalls the history of the en-
vincible Armada" which sailed from
Lisbon, Spain, against England in 1888.
That fleet was composed of 129 large
vessels, carrying 1926 soldiers, $3.50
sailors and about 1000 slaves as rowers.
It was a most formidable fleet, one Of
the most formidable fleets of the time.
A storm in Spanish waters destroyed
several vessels of the "~Invincible Ar
mazda" and the rest put into port for
repairs. When everything was in readi-
ness again the fleet started and en-
tered the English channel, sailing along
in the form Of a half moon, nearly
seven miles broad. They were met by
the English fleet, consisting of 80 ships,
which had been increased by the addi-
ton Of merchantmen and privateers to
about 1870 vessels, under Lord Howard,
of Effingham, Drake and others.
They fought. And it soon appeared
that the great Armada was anything
but "invincible," for Drake sent eight
blazing freships into the midst of the
Spanish fleet. In terrible CONSERVATION
the Spaniards tried to get out to sea,
and SO became dispersed. The English
pursued, a storm came on and drove the
Spanish vessels among the rocks and
shoals. The ~"invinvible" fleet, with a
loss of 80 great ships and $1,000 men,
defeated and disgrnced, sailed home
again.

The latest novelty in the London mar
kets is frozen oysters from New Zea-
land. Some time ago a New Zealand
merchant on g summer visit to London
sought unsuccessfully for an oyster.
He suggested that there was something
of absurdity in accepting the idea that
because there was no 'r' in the month
Londoners should be deprived of the
toothsorne bivalve, and promised when
he returned home to see what could be
done In organizing a summer supply
for Londoners. This has been done, and
the oysters are being used for cooking
purposes, soup, sauces, stews, patties
and the like. The frozen oysters have
not yet reached the dignity of being
consumed on the half-shell. They are
said to be fine, white and plump, and
more of them are to be imported.
