Mark Twain used sometimes to WIS.,
it Harriet Beecher Stowe in a rather
nogligee costume. One morning Mrs.
Clemens met him with this exclama-
ton; "There, Sam, you've been over
to the Stoves again without a necktie.
1t is ~dIsgraceful." Soon after Mrs.
Stowe received a small, box contain
ing a black silk necktie and this note:
'tHere is a necktie. Take it out and
look at it. 1 think I stayed half an
hour this morning. At the end of
that time will you kindly return it as
it is the only one I have? Mark

HOUSEHOLD.
The wife's Christmas /.


How can you speak to me SO, Charlie!
It isn't kind, nor right;
You wouldn't have talked a year ago,
AS you have done tonight
You are sorry to see me sit and cry;
Like q baby vexed, you say;
When you didn't know L wanted q gift,
Nor think about the day.
But I'm not like a baby, Charlie,
Crying for something fine;
Only a loving woman panied,
Could shed such tears as mine.
For every Christmas time till now
And that is why I grieve-
1t was you that wanted to give, Charlie,
More than I to receive.
And all that I ever had from you
IEhave carefully laid aside;
From the first June rose you pulled for me,
To the veil I wore as a bride.
And 1 wouldn't have cared tonight, Charlie,
How poor the gift or small;
If you only had brought me something to
show
That you thought of me at all.
The merest triie of any kind,
That I could keep or wear;
A himsy bit of lace for my neck,
Or a ribbon for my hair.
Some pretty story of lovers true,
Or a book of pleasant rhyme;
A flower, or a holly branch, to mark
The blessed Christmas time.
But to be forgotten, Charliei
IT'S that that brings the tear;
And Just to think, that I haven't been
Your wife but a single year.

OUR FARM RS.
THE COUNTRY BOY.

No boy need ever regret that he
was born in the country and reared
on a farm. He may lack the keenness
and polish of his city cousin. He may
be embarrassed by his WI awkward
ness and feel that he is at a hopeless
disadvantage in the race; but the
country boy has the advantage of a
wider range of practical ideas. From
the very first his little services are In
demand. He becomes at once a part
of the force that is making for home
comfort and prosperity and feels the
indie pc ndence of one who is helping
to support himself and add to the
general store.
The country boy is likely to regard
his life as M of drudgery, and sue
it may be if he loses interest in his
surroundings or is pressed with a con-
tinued round of duty.
There is something heroic in the
country boys struggle with the ele-
ments. Rain and snow and sleet
only brace his courage. The garner
ing of the crops, the housing and
feeding of the domestic animals, the
gathering and preparation of the win
ter fuel, give a purpose and zest to his
toll.
Then there is the long tramp, some
times of miles, to the district school;
lessons learned before and after long
hours of labor. Is it any Wonder
there are keen wits developing all
outside of graded systems and in de-
iance of pedagogical order? 1t is the
intensity of purpose with which the
mind acts under the influence of Wig
orous health and the conscious value
of time hat accounts for these results
So from the farms is being supplied a
stream of active world workers-men
not afraid to do their duty and bub-
bling over with energy and ambition.
From the little red schoolhouses
come into our colleges and schools of
higher grade aspiring youth. Some
are seeking an education as a means
of emancipation from h drudgery of
labor. Others come with a true
thirst for knowledge. They find their
way into the professions and business
world, but few 60 back to the farm.
What an ideal thing it would be for
the young men trained in science and
holding the key to natures mysteries
and beauties to go back to live broad
cultured, and q uietlives in the midst
of the most delightful environment in
which God has ever placed man!
Touch the country bred boy, now
the merchant prince or the successful
professional man, and how responsive
he becomes to every suggestion of
rural life. The same cannot be said
of boys reared in the midst of any
other surroundings. 1t is the contact
with nature that makes the indelloIe
impression upon his life. No greater
gain could come to the country at
large than to promote the love and
appreciation of rural life. Health,
happiness, purity and peace are the
natural inheritance of those who dwell
surrounded by fresh air, beautiful
scenes, bright skies, and pure social
in1uences.-The Conservative.

CONVALESCENCE

Convalescence is sometimes merely appar-
ent, not real, and especially is this true after
such diseases as pneumonia, typhoid fever
and the grip. To make it real and rapid there
is no other tonic so highly to be recommend
ed as Hoods Sarsapari1la.
This great medicine cleanses and renews
the blood, strengthens all the organs and
functions, and restores health. Take Hoods.

Care of the Hands in Winter.

Any extreme temperature, OF either
very hot or very cold water is not
good for the hands. Warm water is
more cleansing than cold water. A
dozen drops.of the tincture of benzoin
added to a basin of warm water is ben
eficial to the hands. CASTLE or one of
the fine toilet soaps should be used.
A generous lather should be made
and the hands thoroughly rubbed with
it. A rubber 1esh-brush is a great
comfort. A little bran or oatmeal If
put in the water has a softening effect,
and makes the skin velvetyand pliable.
Almond meal is also excellent for this
purpose. Care in drying the hands is
essential to their good condition.,
especially in winter. A soft towel
will gather up all the moisture and
should be used in between the fingers
of each hand SO that every part may
be thoroughly dried. After drying
the hands it is a good plan to rub in a
little cold cream Or almond oil, after
which, if they are particularly sensi-
tive, powder may be busted over them.

No one can reasonably hope for good health
unless his bowels move once each day. When
this is not attended to, disorders of the stom-
ach arise, biliousness, headache dyspepsia
and piles soon follow. If you wish to avoid
these ailments keep your bowels regular by
taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver

AT BARRErr's CHAPEL

Barrett's Bhapel, the cradle of Metho-
dism, celebrated its one hundred and
twenty-frst anniversary Sunday. Scores
OF carriages brought visitors to the site Of
the old church, and it was estimated that
fifteen hundred people were present. The
weather was ideal. The Rev. Mr.. War
rem, pastor of Union M. E. Church, New
York, who preached his first sermon in
the church when he was 16 years of age,
officiated. He related graphically the
story of the first meeting of Thomas Coke
and Francis Asbury, the first two bishops
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church, which
occurred in Barrett's Chapel on Novem-
Der l4th, 1884, when they formulated
plans that led to the organization of the
Methodist Church in Baltimore, the next
month. The bench upon which these
distinguished men sat at that time was
used in the pulpit Sunday. Seated there
on were the Rev. W. J. Jocelyn of Fred
erica M. E. Church, the Rev. E. K. Jones,
of Frederick NJ. P. Church; the Rev.
A. W. Jones, of Canterbury, and the
Rev. George Emmet Wood, pastor of the
church.

FIRM HAS DISSOLVED

A sensation was created throughout
sussex and the lower Maryland counties
saturday when it became known that
The Hon. Albert w. Robinson had been
appointed receiver for the sharptown bas-
ket and crate factory, and the Knowles
Hardware Company. Both concerns
were owned by Mr.. Robinson and VIII
liam Knowles. of sharptown, and J.
Dallas and Harvey Marvil, of Laurel.
Several weeks ago the factories shut down,
throwing nearly every laboring man in
Sharptown out of employment. This
action was mystifying, as the concerns
were crowded with orders and had
thousands of dollars worth of raw mater
lal on hand, much of which would go to
waste. The fact that large dividends
were regularly paid deepened the N.Y.
stery.

State Board of Health, made the follow.
ing statement Monday:
'sIEish you would say for the State
BoaFd of Health that the epidemic pre-
vailng in Kent county, Delaware, and in
Maryland near the line is surely smallpox
andg the publication of newspapers, or
the Heclaiation of citizens that claim it
to b chickenpox or anything else is de-
cidedly in the way of the State Board of
Health in its efforts to stop it. We are
dong all we can with the means at our
disposal, and We will utterly fail unless
the press and people give us a cordial
support.
we say to the smallpox patients !:
Stay in the house. Some one else comes
along and says, Tt amt smallpox. or
this man would die Then he goes ont
and the disease spreads. The liebtest
case of varioloid may develop to be the
worst case 'of smallpox. This is cold
weather disease and when the house is
closed up and the people live along side
a hot stove in the winter, the probability
is that it will assume a more malignant
form, resulting in death. Now during
this pleasant weather is the time to pre-.
vent its spread.
While in Wilmington DIR. Cooper con-
ferred with DR.. Alexander w. Lowber,
secretary of the State Board of Health.
They say the smallpox is of mild form.

STATE AND MARYLAND NEWS
DELMAR SWEPT BY FIRE

Fire Saturday swept over the thriving
town of Delmar, burning an area OF
more than ten acres covered with build
ings and causing loss of fully 500, 900,
with but little insurance.
The flames broke out in the second
story of William 7. sirman's barn about
2 P. M. and within few minutes it was
seen that most of the town was doomed.
A special engine was stated at once from
Salisbury, where word had been tele-
graphed to bring the Salisbury fire de-
partment. The engine and hose wagons
were quickly loaded and the special left
Salisbury at 8 o'clock, making the run
of seven miles in five minutes.
When the department arrived it was
plain to see that the task was appalling
The lack of water facilities Rampered the
work of the firmen. The only way water
was obtained was to run an engine to the
water tank, fill the engines tanks and
pump from them. Several engines were
used as relays, and by this method the
fire was gotten under control in about
two hours.
ALMOST A CLEAN SWEEP
The boundaries of the fire were from
East State street to Front street, to Grove
street to Second street, to New street, to
Railroad avenue. In all this territory
there is but one house left standing-the |
brick building of Elijah Freeny-which
the firemen saved after hard fight. If |
it had burned it would have spread the
fire to ali that part of the town on the |
Maryland side. As it is, no property was
destroyed on that side.
The Pennsylvania railroad office,
which was on fire several times, was
aved after determined fighting, as were
llso the churches and the hotel and bank
The post Office was burned,
'ut the mails were saved. In all more
han sixty buildings were burned,
MANY ARE FINANCIALLY RUINED
Grief reins among those who are home
sss, many of whom are financially
uined by the fire. Thirty or forty fami-
les had to depend upon their neighbors
'r shelter. Every store in the town was
urned but two, and they are small ones.
During the fire the wind was blowing
most hurricane, and more than fifty
ouses were burning at one time. The
,ar of the flames could be heard many
locks, the insurance, it is estimated,
i'll not reach half the loss. n,

FIRST CABINET MEETING.

President Roosevelt returned from Naw
Haven Thursday morning, and on Friday
morning held the first fully attended
Cabinet meeting of his administration.
He somewhat surprised his Cabinet by
the announcement that he would write
his entire message himself instead of call
ing upon the various members to write
those portions dealing with the work of
their respective departments. He fur
ther stated that it was his intention to
state the facts, without making recon-
mendations. in regard to several of the
matters Congress would have
to consider. He read some excerpts from
the message and the impression of his
advisers was that the paper would be
terse production, probably
somewhat shorter than has heretofore
been the case. 1t is said that he will re-
the establishment of De-
partment of Commerce and Industry.
