The .Basin" of an Annie.

One end Of the apple bears the name
$Qf "basin" and contains the remnants
q the blossom-sometimes called the
Nge of the fruit, This part of the apple
IL deep in some varieties and shallow
and open in others. This is the weak
est Ipint in the whole apple as con-
GERMS the question of the keeping quail
ity Of the fruit. If the basin is shallow
and the canal to the core firmly closed,
there is much less likelihood of the
fruit decaying than when it is deep,
and the evident opening connects the
center Of the fruit with the surface.

BUSY AT w0RKHoUsE

At the New Castle County workhouse
between 60 and 20 prisoners are now em-
ployed daily in the machine room. The
entire force will be at work as soon as
the instructors can drill them.
An effort will be made to have the
Federal prisoners now in Trenton trans
ferred to the workhouse in order that
William N. Boggs can be placed in
charge of the men as he has proven to be
a great help to the clothing manufactur-
ers and they would like to have him in
the workhouse. The workhouse meets
the requirements for government prison
ers in every way.
A week or so ago complaint was made
as to the quality of the bread served at
the institution. Trustees Ball and Cor
bit inspected the same and found it up
to the requirements. The prisoners
speak in the highest terms of the treat
ment received from Warden Meserve
and the guards. They have no COM
plants of the food and say that it is bet
ter than some of them have been used to
before being locked up, and far superior
to that given to them at New Castle jail.

DELAWARE RAILROAD 1MPRoyzn1sTs

By the time summer comes again many
changes will have been made in the
Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the patrons of the line will
no doubt appreciate the Improvements.
Although the weather is not exactly
suited for railroad work, the task Of
double tracking the line is being pushed
as rapidly as possible and large portion
of the work has been completed.
Considerable grading for the double
track is still being done and at Farnhurst
an immense steam shovel is cutting away
earth to change the level of the road bed,
and also to secure earth with which to
fill in about the Claymont cutoff. 1t is
expected that when the work of double
tracking is completed that there will be
several minutes taken off the running
tim" of each train.
Another marked improvement which
will be commenced as soon as the weather
will permit, is stone ballasting the road.
Some stone ballast has already been put
in, but no more will be hauled and used
until frost is out of tine ground. The
Delaware Railroad will then be double
track line similar to the Maryland Divi-
sion and the dirt and dust which has
caused so much unfavorable comment on
the road will be a thing of the past.
Trains will of course run smoother and
easier than at present and the road bed
will be equal to any in the country.
In addition to the improvements on the
track there has been considerable i'm
provement made in the stations along the
line. Within the past few years several
new stations have been built, and in
many cases waiting sheds have been
added to the old stations, SO that it is
now possible TO get on and off trains
without getting wet when it is raining.
In many places the old wooden plat
forms have also been replaced with
cement walks, which are far better than
the old wooden platforms. The new
stations which have been erected are of
better style and are more comfortable
both for the employees and the travelling
public than the old ones.
Much new work has also been done on
culverts and bridges, for it was necessary
to make both wider in order to accommo-
date the double tracks, and thousands of
dollars have been spent on the Delaware
Division in the past few months.
Travel over the railroad Monday was
as heavy as ever seen except upon a
holiday. Hundreds of people were re-
turning from vacations spent with their
friends or parents in smaller towns, and
the train which reached Wilmington over
the Delaware Railroad shortly after 5
O'Clock Monday afternoon, was one OF
the heaviest ever seen on the road. At
Harrington two carloads of people from
the branch line were attached to the
train while the crowd does not generally
fill one car, and at Townsend another full
carload was added, while large addition
to the train had previously been made at
CLAYTON.
