She thought this was proven on

not be repeated. Had the matter

NOT for years has there been such
a snow storm III this section of the
country. The snow has stopped
nearly all travel on the Delaware,
p, w. & B., B. e. o., Wilmington
d Northern and Wilmington and
Western Railroads. The street
railway has kept its road clear by
running cars all Saturday and Sun
day evenings.
The snow was blown up along
the public road until it reached 4
height of six feet and in some ex-
posed places even higher. The
sleighing was never so good and
those who did not care for the cold
were indulging in the sport. This
extreme cold snap will be hard on
the poor and cause untold suffering
for the want Of the necessary fuel
to keep warm. Travel, UP to 10
o'clock had been practically sus-
pended. The outside world appear
ed to be completely isolated from
Wilmington and hundreds of me-
chanics and store girls stayed at
home for the day, being afraid to
brave the storm.

hands are kept beyond the edge OF the

The motions Of recovery begin in Fig.

Of the water, but the first operation Is
to draw the pole up with the right hand,
bringing 1t through the left and then
throwing it farther up with the left
through the right until the point at
which the pole balances Is reached.
Then the lower end. which is shod with
an iron point, should swing around

will lack grace and effectiveness. The
punter's eyes should be fixed on the
bow Of the craft, so that any error in
steering may be detected and corrected.
Steering is done when the pole IL

QUEEN VICTORIA ON DIVORCE.

According to Mr.. T. p. O'Connor's pa
per. NJ. A. p, Queen Victoria is more
catholic on the matter of the indis-
solubility of the marriage tie than all
her bench of bishops put together. The
queen intimates that the recent pro-
nouncement on the part OF the Anglican
prelates might have been written in
stronger terms, as she Is totally averse
TO divorce under any circumstances
whatever. Her majesty is willing to
admit that in no institution are there
more people wronged than in marriage;
nevertheless her belief is that an in
finitely more satisfactory state of
things would arise were marriage made
indissolubIe both by church and state.
The queen adds that she has no OBJ
lection TO judicial separation. her
strong disapproval Of divorce being due
to the liberty which it inparts to di-
vorced people TO marry again and to
the remarriage OF divorced people. no
matter what the grounds Of divorce
To this she is "unalterably and most
strongly opposed" This is the first
official expression her majesty has Civ

A flatboat and long iron shod pole
are all the paraphernalia needed to be-

together the boat for few dollars. and
also provide the long pole by means of
which 1t Is to be prodded about the
water. Punting is an exercise that has
recently been growing in favor with
fashionable women OF athletic tenden-
cies.
An expert should be able to punt
equally well from either side of the
boat and from the stern, the center or
the bow and should be able to walk
about the craft without fear.
A woman generally stands In the
stern when punting and works from
the left side. The right foot is placed
in advance and never changes its posi-
ton. At the commencement OF each
stroke the punter rises on the toes Of
her left foot. AS the stroke proceeds
