ErnSt-GraDe Jelly.

Pick the grapes from the stems,
wash, drain and mash with a wood
Ell spoon until all are broken; put in
a preserving kettle and boil Is or 20
minutes, or until seeds separate from
pulp. Remove and strain through a
square of cheeseeloth placed over a
coanderar sieve which stands in or
over large bowl Do not press or
squeeze the pulps, as that will make
the jelly cloudy, but tip up the ends
of cloth occasionally. When all the
juice has run through, measure, and
allow a pound OF granulated sugar to
a pint of juice; warm he sugar in

INDUSTRIAL
TAX DECREASED

II comparative statement pre-.
pared by Clerk OF the Peace Oulg-
ley can be taken as a basis. the
new manufacturers tax law is not
asproductlve of the same revenue
brought in under the old law, which
was appealed at the suggestion OF
the Board OF Trads.
The old law was stricken off the
statutes because OF its inquisitor.
ial features. and law providing a
tax OF fifty cents on each one thou.
sand dollars of real or person al
property used in the manufacture
ing business was enacted IN its
stead.
1t was claimed this would provide
nearly the same amount of revenue
as the old law, and at the same
time induce manufacturers to locate
in the State. The law was passed
in March, but did not become oper
atlve until June /.
From that date until September
so, $3.50. 40 was paid in by manu-
tacturers OF New Castle county to
Clerk of the Peace Qnigley. This
is S9, 1914 less than the tax paid
under the old inquisitorial law for
the ak months ending September,
50, the amount paid IN that period
being Sl9,57o. IA. 1t must be con.
sldered that the figures under the
new law are for tour months. but it
is hardly to be expected that more
than $4,000 to overcome The decrease
al. present existing. will be paid in
during the next two months.

AT COURT

About the time Dr.. Bastian step
ped from The witness stand in the
police court this morning after tes-
tifying IN the case sof the State
against Frank Canning, colored,
Captain Kane called his attention
to the condition OF the mans face.
The doctor leaned across the dock
and began TO examine the mans
lace. He opened the mans . shirt
and was about to examine his
breast when Judge Churehman di.
rected the doctor TO take the man
down stairs.
Those in the court for the time
became some what excited over the
case. Then the fellow was taken
down and placed IN a separate cell
He stated that he has resided at
No, 2l5 Orange street and that Tor
over week he has been feeling
very sick.
Captain Kane notified Secretary
Cahill OF the Board of Health to
summon the Boards physician and
said that the Police Surgeon would
also be in attendance as well as
DR.. Bastian. After a hurried ex-
animation, it was thought best TO
isolate the man.

MIN eS Of Wax,

In several parts of the world a
resinous substance called ozocerite,
and bearing considerable resemblance
to beeswax, is found, usually in con-
nection with rock salt and coal There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and
Mexico, but, says our consul at Trieste,
Mr.. Hossfeld, ozocerite has, so far, not
been discovered in sufficient quantities
to pay for mining anywhere except in
the district of Boryslav, in Austrian
Galicia, and on an island on the west
coast of the Caspian sea. In mining
this mineral wax, shafts are sunk un-
til bed, or ''nest," of ozocerite Is
struck. Then connecting galleries are
driven. There is considerable danger,
and many lives have been lost in con-
sequence of the sudden forcing up of
the soft wax into the shafts by the
enormous pressure to which it is SUBJ
jectsd. 1t is used largely for manu-
featuring ceresin, which is employed,
together with baeswax, for making
wax candles, rs we'll as in the manu-.
facture of photographic cylinders, and
for many similar purposes.-Youth's

THE DECLINE OF UNCAS.
The Last Of the Wild Cattle Of Amer.
lea and EurOpe-BisOn Pro-
tected by Law.

Last year the rumor went round
that there might be herd of, say,
Is wild wood-bison In the wooded will
derness of northwestern Canada, but
this is generally believed now to be
an unfounded rumor, and America is
without its wild bison. There are some
OF these hinge ungulates in captivity,
but these are mostly crosses of domes-
tic cattle and the children of the for.
mer "lord of the plains At presen.
genuine buffalo heads, horns and hides
are very valuable, and the specimen
which has been prepared for he Phila-
delphia Geological society for David
McCadden is worth several hundreds
of dollars. When we look back and see
that less than 30 years ago, in ls72-73
and "A, from 100000 to 100000 buff
falo were slain on our western plains
for their hides, it seems not incredible
that this tribe should be so effectually
wiped out.
Few Americans are aware of the fact
that at one time Europe was roamed
p'rt " an dA4Aidi NSiS inv oui JUL
falo. says the Philadelphia Record
Pliny and other early writer's termed
it the "bonassus" and to naturalsts
1t is known to-day as ''bison bonassus,"
while his American congener is called
"bison bison.' But Europe still has
its wild bison, while America has not.
The European bison bonassus now
lives in the forest of Bialowicza in
Lithuania, where it is protected by
the czar of Russia and roams wild in
the Caucasus. L is powerful, savage
brute, which stands six feet in height
and measures II feet in length. The
angry bonassus puts out his dark-red
tongue, rolls his red eyes and dashes
with fury at the object of his wrath.
An old bull ruled for long time over
the road running through the forest
Of Bialowicza and did much damage.
He stopped carriages or sleighs, espe-
ciallf those laden with hay. If the
peasants threatened him he charged
and threw the sleigh over. Horses
were terrified at the sight of him and
seemed to lose their senses.
