characters, jockeys, great artists and
glorious acts, and in the quantity and
quality of entertainment furnished for
the ordinary price of admission. The
number of principal male and female
bareback riders has been increased to
nineteen; that of the clowns to twenty
five, and in the aerial and acrobatic de-
partments the additions are proportion
Ately large and brilliant. The grand
double street parade has been made still
more richly and uniquely attractive, and
IN every direction still greater effort
has been made and greater outlay in
'urred to more than meet the popular

MOTHER EARTH" AS A FUEL

DIR. Henry W. Morrow, of Wilmington
announces that, after years of experiment
ing, he has perfected the discovery o
using mother earth" as fuel, from
which is to be obtained high and con
tinuous heat at a nominal price.
He says that the new product can be
made easily and cheaply anywhere; that
1t will glow with white heat for about
ten hours without being stirred or re-
newed, when it will fall away to a fine
powder.
The discoverer of this new fuel says
that the small additions to the earth are
common chemicals, but very effective in
combinations. The fuel is to be made
egg shaped and egg size, SO as to ensure
a good draft when used. These "eggettes''
can be made either free or slow burning,
as is desired, by varying the proportions
Of their component parts, and they will
throw off neither gas nor smoke.
1t is the purpose of DIR. Morrow to
form company for the purpose of man
"eggettes," and steps, have
already been taken in that direction.
Wilmington's chemist discoverer will
'oon give public exhibit Of the work

THE COUNTRY EDITOR

The Easton Ledger says: He is pack
horse of every community, the promoter
OF every laudable enterprise, the worst
underpaid laborer in the vineyard. Count
ing his space as capital he gives more to
charity, his means considered, than any
other member of society. He is power
in politics, a pillar of the church, a
leader In the crusade for better morals.
He is pre-eminently the friend of human
ity. Line upon line, paragraph upon
paragraph, day by day, embalming in
cold type facts from which the Herodo-
tus, Tacitus, Sismondi, Macauley of the
future will write the history of the times.
He chronicles ones advent into the
world, briefly notes his uprisings and his
downsittings, and sorrowfully records his
exit. They are all more or less-gener-
ally more-his handiwork, and the crea-
ture should not be ungrateful to his
creator. Without his generous and en-
thuslastlc labors most of you would
never have been here; and when he tires
most OF you will return to private life
amid rural scenes propitious for secret
meditation and silent prayer. Working
night and day during the campaign,
when the election is over and the time
comes for the distribution of the loayes
and fishes-now vulgarly called "pie''-l
by some strange lapse of memory he is
forgotten.

SURVEYING COMPLETED

Surveyor John Coard Hazard has fin
ished the work of surveying the beacl
and lots at Lewes and they will now be
,obtainable in a short time. The demand
for lots is growing steadily. Beach lots will
likely be leased under condition that a
house be built on it within period of
one year. This ruling is meeting with
much opposition, it being held that one
year is too short period. Many claim
that this would practically mean that the
house must be built this season or the
early part of next-taking into considera-
tion the winter season which is mostly
unfit for building. To put up all the
houses in that short space of time it is
claimed that number of mechanics and
laborers would have to be imported from
out Of town thus depriving our own peo-
pie of the greater part of the work and
at the same time hurry the lease-holders
to an unnecessary extent. The lots will
be put up at auction and leased to the |
highest bidders. 1t is required that each |
cottage cost not less than $40O A num-
ber will be built at a cost twice that
amount. Among those from out of town
who are to build handsome cottages are,
J. A. Hepburn, of Philadelphia, Thomas
F. Ruddell, of Baltimore, William J.
Thoroughbred, of Georgetown, and
humber of others-prominent business
md professional men-PHot.

PROSPEROUS MILFORD

There is no question as to the prosper
GUS condition of affairs in this part of
Delaware, says the Milford Chronicle.
Merchants admit increase in volume
of their business; manufacturers increase
their output, and the railroads are doing
more business than at any previous
equivalent period in their history. There
are more people travelling, and the pas
senger receipts at Milford is the record of
every town on line of railroad in lower
Delaware. In 1899 the passenger receipts
at the Milford depot increased $500 over
the receipts of $685. Those of 1900 were
$1,000 greater than the receipts of 1899,
and 1901 promises to exceed the gain of
either year. This is proof positive Of
good times, and if Delaware can have
good yields and fair prices for her pro-
ducts in 1901, we shall have cause for
general thanksgiving.

HICKS FORECAST FOR MAY

l. Up to May 9th the Mercury perturbf
h ton which was central on April the 29th
e will continue in force, blending its pecu
| liar characteristics with the reactionar.
| disturbance from the 1st, to the Sd, ant
with the regular storm period from the
9th to 10th. A rapid rise of the baron
eter, with cool west winds and frost
nerthward, will follow these reactionary
storms, spreading eastward and south
ward before the storm conditions due on
the 9th to 9th.
Look for some very active storms of
rain, wind and thunder from Monday
the 9Th to Thursday the 9th. Dangerous
storms are possible. Another change to
rising barometer, west winds and very
cool nights will follow the storms of this
period. On and about Sunday, the 18th,
to Tuesday the 14th will fair a marked
| reaction to storm conditions.
The Vulcan or Irregular storm period, %
central on the 10Th, brings with it moons
perigee on the 10th and new moon at an
eclipse node ON the 18th. Great warmth
for the season, very low barometer and
heavy storms of rain, wind and thunder
are more than probable from Friday the
18th, to Monday the Goth. Very cool
nights will follow with higher barometer
from about the 10Th to the 22d. Frosts
In the north very probable during these
nights.
A reactionary storm period runs from |
the 23rd to 25th, and the moon being on
the celestial equator on the Goth, in all |
probability the storm conditions of this
period will be so prolonged as to reach
crisis about that date This is a time
when we may reasonably look for early
series of rain and thunder storms for sew
eral days in succession, beginning, per-
haps at the new moon in the vulcan
storm period, 18th to goth.
Very cool to cold nights, with frosts in
many sections, often follow the breaking
up of these daily May storms. The
month goes out in the midst of a vulcan
storm period which is central on the Both.
A warm wave for the season, falling ba-
'ometer and wide storm areas will be ad- I
7ancing fr n western extremes during s
he closing days of May.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR PEACH CROP

The beautiful peach blossom is now to
be seen in great quantities throughout
the lower section of the State, and the
numerous buds bespeak prosperous
year for the luscious Delaware peach.
Leaves are becoming so plentiful on the
trees that the buds will be well protected

DANDELIoNs FOB SPRING FEvrR

Spring fever is one of the ailments
that every one expects more Or less; Ger.
tainly as soon as the first blue bird puts
in an appearance. 1t comes with the
coming of the dandelions and it fingers
throughout the days of early spring, and
whethei il is a disease or only balanc-
ing OF the books, it is mighty uncom-
Portable condition. But it is in the
Spring vegetables that the natural reme
dies and tonics are most successfully dis
guised. Since Spring fever comes with
the dandelions it is easy to see that there
is connection between the two. No
matter how you have lived through the
winter, whether lavishly or sparinglv,
there is certain to be much that needs
remedying, and the remedy is close at
hand if you only know how to recognize
it. In dandelions there is cure for dis |
pepsia and for the lack of appetite that
proves the system is out of order. Spring
onions, radishes and lettuce are all great
natural medicines. Spinish should put
in a frequent appearance on the table
1t contains more iron than almost anv
vegetable or fruit, and offers it in most
agreeable form. Eaten frequently, it is
sure to improve a muddy complexion
through its work of toning up the system.
Onions should be largely patronized dur
ing the spring. Those crisp little tops
eaten with bread and butter at bedtime
do much toward encouraging sound slum-
Der. Onions are really fine nerve tonic.
There is much sense in eating eggs dur l
ng the spring, for in them we have a
needed dose of sulpher. Rhubarb is but 1
mother exhortation to eat of the things
n season. 1t is inexpensive and a thor
'ughly wholesome article of diet and 7
ends itself to many delicious prepara- 1;
ions. The point of the lesson that ma P
ure strives to teach is, eat of the things >
n season. You do not find blackberries G
ipening in April. There is no need for II
hem then; but in their own time they el
ave most beneficial effect upon the di- q
estion. But in the Spring it is the onion. ,.
he cress, dandelion and spinach the sys- "
sm demands, and they are ready to re- as
pond to the call. ar
