big TOWN"
SHOWS UP
POORLY.
If Warwick Census Figures
Are Righ, tSomsthlng veTyPs-
CuIiar Must Have Happened.

II the count made of the population OF
the town of Warwick by the enumera-
tors of the United States census in June
last is correct. IL is very evident that the
largest town I'm the state has come 10
a decided standstill.
This. however. is i'm the face OF appar-
ent evidences of growth and prosperity,
or that the returns from Warwick in the
state census OF 1895 were too large.
While no such increase as occurred
between 1890 and 1895, when the popula-
tion increased from l7,76i TO q los, a gain
OF 1918 per cent, was looked for, IL
certainly was expected. and with good
reason, too. that the latest census would
give the big town population OF $4,000
or 25,0On.
Instead. however. the count gives her
y .3l6. net gain or AS i'm five years,
while during the same period the neigh
boring town OF Coventry is given credit
for having added IA. a gain OF more than
per cent, 10 her population.
During the decade the Federal census
shows that Narwick's population has
Increased 2o.02 per cent Strange 10 say,
however. only gse per cent of this in
crease has occurred during the last Ave
years. ...
Ii is a fact, OF course, that there has
not been so great an addition TO the
towns manufacturing industries during
the last five years as there was during
the five years between 1890 and 1895
There has been "A steady overflow and
immigration Of population from Provi-
dence TO Lakewood and that section of
the town Immediately south of the Paw
tuxet.
There has been no apparent diminu-
tion i'm the steady increase in the num-
ber of summer homes built along the
Warwick shore.

Crop Report.

The peach crop seems to have
escaped serious injury in all sec.

lowland orchards in Western
Maryland, but elsewhere damage
has been very light. The buds,
while not forward, are swelling
under the present warmth, and
blooms are beginning to show in
Charles County. Keifer pears
are heavily budded. Apples
promise well, but the buds are
rather backward.
Wheat generally presents a
good appearance, showing better
on fallow than On corn land.

bly, during the winter. but timo.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
the First Railroad to Intro
duce Automobile
Service.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
has established Electric Auto
mobile Service at Washington,
d, c., in connection with its
train service, being the first rail
road to introduce this mode of
transportation regularly to and
from its railway station.
The automobiles are of the
latest electric pattern, absolutely
noiseless in regard to machinery
and running gear. They are pro-
vided with luxuriously deep cush-
toned seats, with electric lights
and time pieces. Two small
trunks can be carried on the sup.
ports at the rear of the vehicle,
and the top of the cab provides
ample room for small travelling
bags and hand luggage.
The splendid streets of Wash :
ington are particularly favorable
for this high-class transportation,
and the vehicles can in safety
reach speed from 10 to IA miles
an hour on any Of the streets,
excepting in the business portion.
1t has been arranged, when
special service is desired, passen-
gers on trains approaching Wash.
ington from the East will notify
conductor before arrival at Balti
more, and on trains from the
West will notify conductor before
the arrival of train at Washington
Junction.
The rates for this extraordinary
service are extremely reasonable,
and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, with its advanced
ideas and methods, is to be con-
graduated on being the first to
inaugurate regularly this latest
invention in transportation SER

Mending China and Glass.

1t is sorry day for a faSlidiouS
housewife when she breaks a ia
vorite china cup or saucer or any
piece of handsome china. 1t
used to be that there was no rem.
edy for it, but now it can be
mended as strongly as at first,
only one must be very careful in
washing such pieces. A good ce-
ment is made of plaster paris
and thick solution of gum
arabic. Make IA paste and apply
to the broken edges with a small
brush, and be careful in uniting
the edges. Put the parts to.
gether perfectly and set away to
dry.
In washing china and glass
ware (you can mend it the same
way, be careful to avoid too
sudden change from cold to heat.
1t Is best not to use soap about
the newly mended china. When
it Is necessary to wash them,
prepare a warm suds of pearline
and soft water. Wash them in
this, and rinse through clear
warm water and dry off quickly
while warm, with a soft linen
towel. You can use such mend
ed pieces for long time by hand
ling carefully, and the cut glass
can be mended also, but china is
the most satisfactory. Hand
painted pieces are easily mended,
and for ornamental brio a brac it
answers every purpose as it has
less handling.
So many housewives have an
old heirloom in china, that is
very dear to them, and | have
known them to save the broken
pieces of dish for years just to
preserve it for the associations,
ETC., and when l learned to mend
them by this recipe, was quite
delighted for l have choice pieces
that needed mending.
