WIDOW WAS GLUTToNoUs.
Devourcd Twelve Ears of Corn for
Dinner Every Day


All men and women eat IF they
don't they won't last long, and no one
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very depend-on-able BY good
eaters L do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though | may include
some of both; but | mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either frcm dys-
pepsia or other form of Indigestion, to
quarrel with their food says John Gill
mer Speed. Gluttons, however. are not
very lovely. l sat at table once with
a woman al summer resort who.
every day for dinner, ate twelve ears
OF corn from the cob. That is more
than the regulation mid day feed for a
horse. And in the operation she
creased her hands and her cheeks. and
every now and again her nose was
decorated with the well-buttered
grains. She was a sight and at the
end OF the table she bred a famine
that 1t took walters to relieve. And
she was in repose not by any means
a bad-looking woman; but in action
in action at the table she was a kind
or human cyclone. leaving desolation
in her path. She had had three hus-
bands and is a widow again. What
became of the poor men | never knew
Maybe she ate them.-Criterion.

Tho Antecedrnt. OF the TurpIp.

Originally the turnip came from Eu.
rope, but has spread almost all over thu
world. 1t grows luxuriantly in Sibe-
ria, and is known all over Asia. The
turnlp in it's wild state is found in
many parts of North America, bu. Is a
small and inferior article compared
with those with which we are familiar.
As food for cattle. turnips, especially
the yellow sorts, are excellent; but
they should never be fed to cows that
are giving milk, as they lmpart an ex-
tremely unpleasant flavor and odor to
the milk. and, for some reason or other
that dairymen do not understand. the
milk from turnip-fed cows has very liz

Hiccough is a spasmodic affection OF
the diaphragm. Generally a trivial and
transient Inconvenience, its occurrence
in the last stages of acute disease is q
grave, often a fatal. symptom, indica-
tive of giving way Of the nervous sys-
tenn generally. Continued and obstinate
hiccough sometimes occurs in persons,
more especially in young females of q
bysterical tendency, and may continue
for weeks without cessation. except
during the hours of sleep in spite OF
all kinds of treatment The causes OF
ordinary hiccough are generally fast
ing, or some sudden stimulant taken
into tho stomach, such as highly sea-
eoned SOUP; and the affection generally
subsidies of its own accord When in
convenient nothing is so likely to re-
move it as some active emotion of the
mind suddenly excited. The continued
slipping and swallowing of cold water
or sucking of ice are frequent domestic
remedies; or anti-spasmodics, such as
sal volatile, may be useful.

THE LETTERS WE WRITE
make the Game OF Correspondence an
Interesting One.

Interesting One.
The receipt of letter is no longer
the event it was in the old stagecoach
days; railways and the penny postage
have robbed it of all excitement. We
have forgotten how to write interest
ing letters as we have how to fold a
sheet of foolscap or sharpen a quill.
Yet at times, on red-letter days, we
find one among the number which de-
mands epicurean perusal; it is not to
he ripped open and devoured in haste;
1t insists on privacy and attention.
This has flavor which the salt of
interruption destroys its exquisite
delicacy. More than this, it must be
answered while it is still fresh and
sparkling. Though the fire of such n
letter need have neither the artificial
ity of flirting nor the intensity of love,
yet it must both light and warm the
reader. 1t is not valuable for the news
it brings, for if it be work of art the
tidings it bears are not so important
as the telling of them. The commune
cation must be spelled in the cipher
of your friendship, to which you only
have the key. 1t must be writ in the
native dialect of the heart So one
has not the commonplace view of
things, and escapes the obvious, 1t
matters little whether one uses the
telescope or the microscope. One may
deal with macrocosm, discuss philoso-
ply and systems, or gild homely little
common things till they shine and
twinkle with joy. Indeed, the perfect
letter-writter must do both, and
change from the intensely subjective
to the intensely objective point Of
view. He must, as it were, look you
in the eye and hold you by the hand

Itself is unusually well equipped with

About daylight Robert Carty drove
By the store and, noticing the from.
door ajar, stopped with the intention OF
purchasing cigar AS he approached
the door he saw shayings lying on the
step. and dlscovccel that the door had
been forced. as four large auger holes
surrounded the lock.
Mr. Behen was aroused, and ilyestl-
CATION showed that the thieves had

amounting to about $50. One OF the

Dover Peter l.. Cooper, Jr., and Peter
D. Ford Of this city, and two New
York men, interested in a trolley pro-
iect down the State. we're present. 1t
is proposed that the New Castle and
Delaware City Railway Company be
extended and two routes are under
consideration.
That which appealed to the resi-
dents assembled was a line to connect
with the New Castle line in Delaware
City. thence to Port Penn. to Angus
tine Pier. to Odessa and Middletown,
and thence into Maryland, touching
warwick Cecilton and Georgetown on
tho sassafras river which empties into
the Chesapeake bay This route would
give direct communication from Balti-
more to Philadelphia by boat and troll
ley. It would make a short and quick
route in that passengers could be
brought from Baltimore to George
town, thence by trolley to Delaware
City, where a boat could again be
taken to Philadelphia. The trolley
line over this route would pass
through a populous and rich country.
The second route proposed is direct
~ south from Delaware City on the
State road passing through odessa to
Smyrna, but not touching Middle

Financial System OF In-tiiuiUu
Dover. Dec. 10.-One of the first
things which the incoming Republican
General Assembly Of Delaware pro-
poses TO do is to place the public
schools of the state upon a better A.
nancial basis. This year some OF the
largest towns have had to go without
school advantages for four and FIVE
months at a time OF the year when
the smaller children were much better
able to attend than during the Winter
The assistance rendered the schools by
the State fund has been in nearly
every case Inadequate About S275 is
the annual appropriation allowed 20
each district school
willy legislators have obtained fo-
their own special district double APP
propriations. by getting bills through
the Legislature dividing the districts.
and then. before the close Of the ses-
sion, getting another bill through.
combining the districts so divided.
This move gets one district two ap-
preparations, and thus instead of each
school receiving Sl50 per capita for
its pupils. some now receive 81 per
capita. The law win undoubtedly be
wiped out and the appropriations will
not only be-equalized, but will be in
creased, so that the schools can be
kept open regularly during the term
