on the Farm of II. c. Mahaffy.
Laverick Kennels, one of the finest
domiciles for dogs in this part of the
country, has been established On the
farm of Henry G. Mahaffy, in Brandy
wine hundred, with Mr.. Mahaffy as
Fart owner and manager No better
location for the purpose could be de-
sired, being situated on the top of q
hill, which overlooks Shellrot Park and
Is exceedingly healthy. At present Is
thoroughbred Canadian cocker spaniels
are being cared for. Thirteen are pups,
five being seven days old and eight two
mouths old. The ether dogs are all
prize winners, and, no wonder, as they
beings and receive the best of atten-
ton. They are fne-looking lot of
animals and the owners are very proud
of them.
Laverick Frosey, one of the most
valuable, has won prizes ia Pbiladel-
phla, New York and Canada, and is
the mother OF the eight two months ld
pups. Red Wonder has won prizes in
Philadelphia, New York and Chicago.
Black Myra captured first prize at the
recent New York show and has been a
winner at other exhibitions. Laverick
Dolly, the mother Of the five young
pups, has won prizes wherever she has
been exhibited, and she has been at
several shows.
Tho kennels are situated just north
of the dwelling on the farm and just
east of the barn, stable, &C., being
easy of access from all of those places
in any kind of weather. All of the
buildings are new and were constructed
according to the latest designs for such
buildings. The main building covers
an area 12xl6 feet and is two stories
high. 1t is well built and lined closely
inside so that it can be kept warm
without much trouble in the coolest
weather. 1t is painted brown outside
and vanished inside. 1t contains

of the main building and connected
| with it is an addition, 20x10 feet, in
which dogs are prepared for shows.
| The ground adjacent, 100x50 feet, is
divided into three yards, in order that

ito their ages. The yards are graded
and are TO be covered with tan bark.
The sheds in the yards front toward
the south and east, so that the greatest
good can be derived from the sunshine
during the day.
| Arrangements are now being made
for dog hospital in connection with
the other buildings. The kennels are
fully equipped for dog raising, as to
heat. food, medicine and everything for
their care. DR.. j. r. Mahatfy visits

siderable experience in raising dogs
and IS perfectly at home in looking
after them on large scale.

An Interesting Discourse ut Epworth
Church by the Rev. r. u. Short.
The Rev. r.. B. Short preached an
interesting sermon for the special
benefit of women, at Epworth Church
Sunday evening The seating capacity of
tho auditorium was taxed. Mr.. Shorts
subject Was "a Good Woman" and
his text was Acts 8, H.. He said: IA
good woman is the salvation Of the
home, while a bad woman may be the
damnation OF tho home"
He declared that some people say
they find pleasure in playing cards,
some in going to the theatre and others
in dancing. Tho pleasure of playing
cards lasts only while playing, THO
pleasure of the theatre continuing only
while one is in the theatre and tho
pleasure Of da,cing while one Is en-
gagged in dancing. The pleasures of
religion are enduring and lasting. If
we find a man who is hungry, and
give him loaf OF bread or a cup of
water to one who is thirsty. we have a
sensation of pleasure which is not Of
short duration. There are many joys
in true, practical religion. He por-
trayed the life and character of Dorcas.
He told the many young women In his
example. He. urged them to make
clothing for the naked, make biscuits
and take them to the poor, as vol as
more needful articles, and read the
newspaper TO the illiterate and blind,
and they would be looked up to by
the people as Gods angels of mercy.
"Many women in Wilmington, he
asserted, think it necessary for adj
IMITATION to wear large hat, long
train and possibly q dog by their side
This is far different from the character
of Dorcas. who was intent on doing
good deeds.
90 wish that all the good people in
Wilmington could live On here through
out all eternity, while the wicked were
allowed to dies | would rather be as
poor as Lazarus of old and be doing
somebody some good, than be the king
on the throne"

AT NAZARETH.



From the black embeTs of the wintry earth
The west withdraws The reddening flame
of day;
So ends the seventh annual of my birth
And see Star-to mock our braZier gray.
Dost thou remember how at hours like
these
Yea mother, was not too young to
know
Thou wouldst get humbly down upon thy
knees
And. opening wide our rustic Golfer, show
The Magi's golden tributes treasured there;
The casket with its heap of cleaning
stones
And coins of mystic kingdoms old and rare;
The incense ar6s, the myrrh's bejewelled
cones
With countless hieroglyphics craven DER:
These wouldst thou lift into my baby
banda fit.' Htll
Till lap and breast and arms could hold no
more
Then, pouring out the precious incense
sands
Over the brazier Goals. while all the room
Grew white with wreathing odors sancti-
fled.
Thou woudst PROSTATE thyself amid the
gloom.
Sweet mother, on the ground before thy
Child.
Tonight there is no incense for thy Son:
The chill wind finds the brazier black as
death:
Nay, do not kneel-here, here, my breast
upon,
Let starlight show the vapor of thy breath.

In the December Century one misses
the Rembrantesque cover of its prede-
oessor, which had power and a
grandeur hitherto unparalleled in that
branch of art. Yet the Christmas as
effectively as the November number
shows the aptitude of John Morley to
give not only the great Cromwell, but
the very life and soul of his times.
There were, of course the zealots, like
Cromwell, inalienably attached to one
side, tut there were also doubts, halt.
ings, changes among some of the Hottest
spirits as well as among men of mixed
motives. Morley is specially strong on
the crucial events which divided the
ways, after which multitudes followed
not former paths. These events were
the making OF constitutional England,
the United States and all succeeding
republics. On the Puritan side the
leader as opposed to Strafford, and also
the greater man, was Ppm. To him
modern democracy seems somewhat
cold in acknowledgment 1t will
always be curious to note how far the
divisions during the Civil War in Eng
land ran on lines of local cleavage.
Other contents partake the cheer and
glow Of that season to which Puritan
tenets were entirely adverse. Weir
Mitchell's hymn has brave ing and
all that Thomas Janvier tells and Louis
Loeb depicts of Christmas in Provence
has its own sunny charm, quite alien
TO snow, ice, mistletoe and holly. They
have there, however, the immense Yule
log which ought to burn till New
Years. They have, too, as of obliga-
tion, turkey matchlessly roasted
and stuffed with chestnuts, olives,
trufiles for the "Great Supper. !"
Housewives exchange cukes and the
whole country rings with Christmas
song, the special avocation of the
poets of Southern France. Best of all
active charity abounds and the family
circle must be complete even if this
requires morning walk both that day
and the next of 90 miles CT more. Weir
Mitchell in his Autobiography of a
Quack' displays a bit of that profes-
sional animus which sometimes dis
places the milk of human kindness in
even the most genial physicians. 1t is
rare delight TO let the public know how
easily and successfully they are hum
plugged. Bodies and purses are alike
prey to scamps and tyros.

"Estelle, an Idyl of Old Virginia,
Is beautiful poem by Marcus Blakely
Almond, A. NJ, IL. D., of Louisville,
KY. which may be found at Butler d
Sons hook stand. Bound in red or
white silk grained cloth, printed on
antique deckle- edged paper, with eight
full-page half tones, this is volume
which could well solve the Christmas
gift problem as to many verse-loving
friend. The poem was written some
years ago and has gone through several
editions, being now offered in a very
attractive form. Mr.. Allmcnd, it is of
interest to note, is brother Of Angus
Almond of this city.
Most Of the events CT the story are
located
In that fair land of light and love.
Where heroes sleep entombed in throngs;
Where laughing skies are blue above
And nature sings her sweetest songs
where Estelle and Ned Holway met.
Estelle was a county maiden, and
Ned, an artist from the city. The
artist we've floral crown
And knew not that he wove his heart
Into his ady's diadem.
The artist returned to his easel and
to the excitement Of great success
and the opportunity was before him to
make fashionable. marriage. Mean
while Estele was teaching In the
country school.
Yet grew and grew more lovely still.
The world seized the artist and he
plunged into dissipation and when his
''breath with wine was strong" he
sang song with the refrain.
Who drinks the deepest, here's to him
Well. he went the pacs too rapidly
and fell i'll. While gaining strength
after this illness he painted his recol-
lections of Estelle--
lie won the rosebud's pointing grace
And on her arching lips 1t grew.
An invitation came and he went to
old Virginia again and, OF course, INST
Estelle and they walked up the hill as
of yoIe. .75r....
A bunch of wild flowers often can,
When youth In joy is leagued with youth,
Decide the destiny Of man
Between the lines you read the truth,
Or should; tor up the hill they went
With strange forebodings on their part,
And down thev came. and sweet Content
Was coyly nesting in each heart.
And thsy make a happy home.
The poem closes with this pretty
"L'Envoy

What gives you grace to work and wait?

The evening welcome at the gate.
