DEwoCRATIC HARMONY

The fact that our opponents
grs getting together and ready
to present a united front to the
Republican party is being made
more evident daily. One Of the
latest and striking example, took
place last Saturday on the floor
Of the United States Senate,
when the two Senators from
South Carolina exchanged blows.
Mr.. Tillman Of pitch-fork fame
accused Mr.. MeLawrin his col
league, of having practically
sold his vote in favor of the
confirmation of the Treaty OF
Peace made at Paris in 1898.
This Mr.. McLawrin denounced
as a Wilful, malicious lie, in view
of the fact that the Whele matter
had been investigated a year or
more ago. Then Mr.. Tillman
struck out and Mr.. McLawrin
carried the mark of his fist for
several hours. Both Senators
were placed in contempt Of the
Senate which is now trying to
agree upon fitting punishment.
Only the day before this cpl
s0de another proof of har-
mony existing among the Demo
Gratis was furnished by the
Hscrap" on the floor of Mary
lands House of Representatives,
where Mr.. Painter called Mr..
Straus a dog, and Mr.. Straus
retaliated by saying that Mr..
Painter was cur. Mr.. Straus
was smacked in the face and
Mr.. Painter had Mr.. Straus'
umbrella poked in his ribs.
Again, on Wednesday Of this
week Mr.. Straus and Mr.. Lad
dam exchanged compliments,
during the course of which Mr..
Straus was classified as q COM
bination of Benedict Arnold and
Judas Iscariot.
Here in Delaware the only
thing that keeps the family
reasonably quiet is that there
are two United States Senators
to elect, and each faction hopes
to get one. If the Republicans
had filed only one of the va
cancies or could even now get
together and choose one Sen
ator, the State would be filed
with the noise Of Democratic
harmony. Messrs. Salisbury
and Kenny instead of pulling
together would be giving an
example of how two balky
horses cannot pull an empty
cart.

Due to Nervousness.

For number of years distin-
guished French physician, DIR. Beril-
Ion. has been making observations
pertaining to the habit of finger-nail
biting. The facts which he has gath
cred show that the habit Is a result
of a diseased nervous system. He ex-
amined the pupils in a number of
schools. The habit is much more prev
alent among girls than among boys.
In some schools fifty per cent. of the
girl pupils had contracted the habit.
1t was noted that the nail-biters were
the poorest students. The habit pre-
walls most frequently between the
ages of twelve and fourteen.

LoNoon's PUBLIC KITCHENS.
Cheaper and Better Dinners Than Can
Be Cooked at Home.

In one respect London Is in advance
Of tho progressive American cities
Some years ago man OF means, who
combined good business sense and
philanthropic disposition and who be-
lieved that people of moderate in
comes suffered from kitchen extrava-
sance and also from poor cooking, es-
tablished system of public kitchens.
At the start the press paid much at
tentiop TO the enterprise, but after the
novelty wore off nothing was said
about 1t. A recent experience shows
that its success has been positive and
1t may well prove an example for all
the world.
Large kitchens were placed in vari-
GUS crowded centers, within the reach
of people of small but assured in
comes. From one of these a family
may order dinner from an attractive
bill of fare and have it delivered at q
given minute in perfect condition. The
establishment will, If required, pro-
vide the help to serve the meal. Or.
il it be preferred. the housewife may
do her own marketing and have her
own roast and other articles prepared
for the table in the public kitchen.
It is obvious that a dinner for q
thousand persons can be cooked at a
lower rate Tor each than can dinner
for an ordinary family. Not only is
there a saving in the fuel, but by buy
ing in large quantities it is practicable
to get everything at lower price. All
the work and annoyance and heat OF
cooking, the time and labor of dish
washing and the like, are avoided
The head cook employed in the public
kitchen is an expert and an artist. 1t
has been announced that family may
get better dinner for a much lower
price from the kitchen than it can get
under the home cooking SYSTEM

Telephones Are indispensable.

The growth of the telephone bust
ness has been enormous in recent
years. The statement has been made
that there are now in use in the
country upward of 100000 telephone
instruments and that great majority
of these have been put in place during
the past ten years. More than 100000
telephones have been placed in farm
houses within a few years. The in
crease in farm telephones is proper
tionately greater than in any other
branch of the business.
