THE LITTLE FOXES.

ITS the little foxes that spoil the
grapes That old saying comes from
the Vineyards of the East. II teaches a
lesson thousands of years old, yet a
lesson never fully learned by human
ity; the lesson that we take precau-
tions against great dangers, but ignore
the small things. How true this Is in
disease If we knew of a case of
smallpox. we'd walk blocks to go
around the infected district; if cholera
were prevalent we'd take every precau-
ton against the disease: but consump-
ton and lung diseases STAY hundreds
where cholera or smallpox proves fatal
to one person; and yet we ignore a
cough or cold as little things although
these little things are the beginning OF
The most incurable maladies. Colds
and coughs are the sparks of disease,
and the only safe way is to stamp them
out at once. That hectic fire which
burns in the cheek OF the constructive
was started by just the little spark of
a cough which was too insignificant, II
seemed, to bother about Thousands Of

ANCIENT LENfEN Fare
Delieacies in Vogue Among Epicu-
rean Fasters.
Herring Pie "n Dainty Dish to Set
Before the King''-The Fish Bill of
of Surfeii of Larpreys-Whale
and Porpoise Flesh Consumed.

1t has not been stated that King Ed
ward VII of England VIII keep Lent with
the same strictness OF observance as
have some of his predecessors en- The
throne of Britain. In the event of his
doing so, however, 1t may confidently be
asserted that the fshmonger who sup
plies the royal household will have a very
good customer. In the thirty FIRST year
Of the reign of the third Edward, the
following sums we're paid from the ex-
chequer for fish supplied the royal pal
ace: Fifty marks for five lasts (9,G00)
red herrings, e12 for two lasts of white
behring's, Sc for two barrels of sturgeon,
s21 IS. for 1900 stock-fsh, lbs Cd. for
eighty congers, and 90 marks for
$50 muIwells.'
1t is learned from old accounts that the
Kings cooks had many ways OF preparing
the fish Herring pies were considered as
delicacies even by royalty. The town OF
Yarmouth, by ancient charter, was bound
to send hundred behring's, baked in
twenty four pies or pastics, annually to
the King; and Eustace de Corson, Thomas
de Berkedich and Robert de Withen. in
the reign of Edward l, held thirty acres
by tenure of supplying twenty-four pas
ties of fresh herrings, for the king use,
on their first coming into season
Lampreys were the favorite fish of the
epicures OF old: they were always consid-
cred a great delieacy. So great was the
demand for this fish in the reign of King
John as to have induced that monarch to
issue a royal license TO one Sampson to
go to Nantes to purchase lampreys for the
use of one of the ladies' of the court The
same king issued a mandate to the sher-
IFS of Gloucester THAT city being famous
for producing lampreys), forbidding them,
on their first coming in, TO be sold Tor
more than shillings apiece. In the reign
of Edward III they were sometimes sold
for eightpence or tenpenee piece. and
they often produced a much higher price.
In 1S41. Walter Dastyn. Sheriff OF Glou-
cester, received the sum of Ell IS.
Sd for forty-four lampeys sup
piled for the Kings use. The corporation
Of Gloucester presented to the sovereign
every Christmas, as q token OF their loyal
ty a lamprey pie. which was sometimes
costly gilt. as lampreys at that season
could scarcely be secured at guinea
apiece 1t is stated that Henry died from
a surfeit of iailpreys after II DAY spent III
hunting.
In addition to these favorite dishes. the
choice '.vianders" of the fourteenth CEN
tury paid epicurean prices for delicious
morsels OF the whale, the porpo!se, the
crampus, and the sea-wolf. These ami

held as allowable food in Lent; it is

LONDON, Feb. 20 The officials of the

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Reports reaching

George j. Bowerman, Librarian, re
quests that the people of Wilmington
send to the Wilmington Institute Free
Library any back volumes OF the reports
OF the public schools of this city. Of
course we already have a full set Of these
reports bound for permanent preserva-
tion. but we need other reports-as many
as We can get and OF any and all years
for use in exchanges with other libraries
throughout the country.
Recently at the request OF Superin-
tcndent Twitmyer we have secured from
the educational officers. Of many Amcri-
can states and cities long sets of their
reports. We are also constantly receiv-
ing from other libraries and from univer-
sitics valuable publications. These pub
lications have been received as gifts, but
in receiving them we have been requested
10 supply IN educational reports of this
city In order 10 supply these demands
the Board of Education. through Profess
sor Twtmyer. has turned over To this H.
brary the small remaining stock of their

to meet these demands, / trust that many

THOUSANDS OF PERSONS AND

Wlhon one realizes the great strain
under which Third street bridge
is throughout the day and the
greater part of might, the az

OF such, in a measure is due, however,
to the careful manner in whddh 1T Is

The most minute parts OF the bridge
working apparatus are examined care

tent that a slight breakdown is liable
to occur, it is repaired Immediately Ac-
cordingly, tie-ups in traffic are few and

Wright assumed charge as day man on
March %, the total space Of time con-
|Bumed in making repairs to the bridge

hours. In several Of these instances

National Progress

From the Indianapolis News.
There have been few periods in the
country's history, perhaps, when so
many questions of national import
ance and of a nature so fundamental
have pushed to the front for settle
ment. The fortunes of war have made
some Of them; the development of the
country has made others Both unite
TO demand life on a larger scale, as In
the increase of the army and of the
building of a navy N was only a few
years ago when $4,000 men was the
size OF our standing army, and still
not a few wise men thought IL too
large. We have now an army of prac-
tically three times that size, and shall
probably never see It less. Years ago
we began the building of a modern
navy, as was necessary and wise But
we should have gone on in the slow
fashion of the time but for the war
The fortunes of war. however, have

TIE LETTER GAME

Well. the tangle over the Pennsyl-
vania- railroad improvements has been
settled. Charles e. Pugh. second vice
president of the road. has sent the
promised letter regarding the purposes
OF the company, and all is serene.
There is no disposition TO criticise
anyone now that the controversy has
terminated so happily. At one time 1t
was feared that the radical differences
between the railroad officials and the
Street and Sewer Commission might
result less fortunately, and it was then
that the newspapers, mindful OF the
possible disastrous consequences, took
a hand.
Thanks are due to the Board OF
Trade and It's committee for lending
their efforts in securing an agree
ment. The fact that this committee in
It's report is most generous in giving
all praise to the commission, does not
detract from the value Of the service
of the board Whatever honor
and glory others may have for
protecting the citys rights and pro-
noting the great improvement, the
citizens Of Wilmington owe a debt OF
gratitude to the Board Of Trade for ite
effective WORK. Now that It is settled
wo shall grudge praise to none
Mr.. Pugh'e letter is most gratifying
In il he gives the assurance that Will
mngton will have the new car shops
a plan for them having already been
prepared. He also assures us that
should the car lines on certain streets
wish to cross the present railroad
tracks at grade, the company will make
no objection. Thus ends the first
chapter. The next will reveal hundreds
