FoR COMMON pRIMARIEs

Very properly the Regular Republi-
cans OF New Castle county have ten
dered The Union Republicans a propo-
siton for common primaries The
proposition comes from the stronger
organization. Il is the only plan that
makes any measure Of success possible,
The mass of voters Of this county de-
sire success because they do not think
it advisable to turn the county over to
the Democrats. It is all very well for
men TO declare for separate tickets
but those in responsible positions can
not afford to be swayed by passion. AZ
ter defeat it is too late TO remedy mat
ters.
II is now time to be thinking seri
ously Of these things. Much newspaper
space has been devoted to the kind o
stun nobody believes. but cool, level
headed leadership is now demanded
We believe the Republicans Of thi
county are generally in favor of com
mon primaries. and they will be salts

FLOWER AND TREE.

There is a pink variety of lily of the
valley which is often grown in Eng
land, though seldom seen with US.
A palm tree which grows on the
banks of the Amazon has leaves thirty
to fifty feet in length and ten to twelve
feet in breadth.
Standard and "stand by plants and
varieties should be the rule of the be-
ginner. Experiment with new flowers
and varieties only in a small way.
Study color effects if you would have
a really beautiful garden. The lowell
est colors often neutralize each other
sadly. Clear reds and lnagentas, for
Instance, should not be close neigh
bors.
Know he-plants as you would peO-
pie If you would have them respond
fully. Find out their habits, their
likes and dislikes. The study is one
Of unfailing pleasure, and it pays rich
interest in perpetual bloom.
Linnia plants are good for low hedges.
Plants a foot and a half apart will soon
run branches together, and the foliage
is dense from the ground up. The
flowers are almost as brilliant as those
Of the dablia and are produced freely
from July TO late October.

The lion and the Unicorn.

The unicorn came into the royal
arms with james 1. 1t belongs to the
royal aims of Scotland. The signet
ring of Mary, mother of James, is in
existence, having a unicorn on it. In
the royal arms therefore one support
er represents England, the other Scot
land.
The lion and 0he unicorn occur also
in ancient Buddhist scriptures, placed
together as supporters. Both Of these
animals also are seen playing draughts
together in the well known Egyptian
painting. But the Oldest connection
of the two is in the blessing Of Jacob
and Of Moses-Notes and Queries.

rnE noER suRRENDER

JovOis news HAS reached London
from South Africa. and King Edward
may have his coronation without a war
an his dominions to mar the occasion.
General Kitchener sent the glad tidings
Yesterday. and it made a memorable
sunday. Rejoicing will not be con-
fined 10 the English people. but the
whole world Will be glad THAT the un-
equal struggle has ended. This lis not
because sympathy is generally with
the great conQuering nation. but be-
cause the spectacle Of suffering, starva-
ton and death has been too painful.
That England would win was evil
dent from the beginning, but that she
would have to pay such an enormous
price for her victory, few believed.
Truly. it almost staggered humanity.
At one time it looked as though Lord
Roberts would be the hero of the war,
and when he returned from the front
there was the general belief that the
Beers had been eOnquered. But month
after month passed. and the struggle
went on: The lists of the dead and re-
ports Of battles still came in, and il
is 10 Kitchener That the credit foI
bringing THE war to a conclusion will
be given. The English will heap hon
ors ON him. and he win be the popular
hero.
Everyone who admires courage and
endurance viii regret that the Boer,
have not been able to secure greater
i CONCESSIONS They are conquered, bu
only because they are exhausted There
is nothing inglorious in the surrender
and we can only hope that they may
enjoy a greater measure of prosperity
and happiness under English rule thar
they have anticipated.

Aodern Houses Vastly Different

zone Of the curious aspects Of mod
ern business conditions" said a philo-
sophie business man, "is the growth Of
what we call the secondhand business.
There are more secondhand houses
now than ever before, and 1 attribute
it TO the ,changes in style which are
constantly taking place in all things
which enter into the social life. When
one speaks of a secondhand store,
there are many persons who will think
simply Of secondhand furniture, bu-
reaus, wardrobes, tables, beds and
things of that sort. But the business
has become so extensive that one may
find almost anything in either the use
full or the ornamental line in these
places.
Il am not speaking of the curio
shops either, where you can find any
thing from an antiquated penny TO the
rarest and most elaborate thing in an
artistic way, old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for. / have in mind the regular
secondhand houses which do a COM
plete and up to date secondhand busi-
ness. Go into one of these places and
see for yourself the changes which
have been wrought in the business.
"Time was when one of these places
was junkshop merely, a sort Of old
furniture hospital or almshouse, n
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
Scared heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort of thing. But the condi,
tions are different now. You see, peo-
pie want to keep up with the process
sion. Styles are always changing. A
new kind of furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one mus have the new thing, this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard or this
new cOlored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stuff
is sold and the new kind bought.
"This is one reason, and the main rea'
son, for the growth of the secondhand
business. OF course the change has
not affected merely furniture ant
household goods. 1t has applied TO al
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence q vast variety of things may bC
found in the secondhand store. New

Frnn1z STOCKTON AND Poetl,y.

Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told n good sto-
ry on himself. In his youth In con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
fiicted the editors Of various Canadian
periodicals. The effusions always
came back. The editor of one maga-
zine was an especial target Of the
Stocktons, but as none Of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prs<e their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received a check and a letter of
thanks. "I came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
it after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say,
"and gave up trying to write it."-Phil-

HE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.,

The following story is told ora ven

Of this happening SO hard up he used to
walk between the cities where he was
10 appear. on one OF these tours he
came to Philadelphia on foot, and on
the road he picked up a miserable little
dog because it looked so much like he
felt" The story will explain what be-
came Of the dog.
The first house he came to was sa-
loon, and of course he wanted drink.
He had no money, but went in anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie-
tor, a German, said:
"Well. what will you haveT
He said, "I1l take little whisky"
and then, turning TO the dog, he asked:
"What viii you haveY
The answer came very promptly:
''I'll take a ham sandwich
The German was so surprised he al
most tainted. He looked at the dog a
moment and then asked:
"What did you say?'
The dog replied:
II said a ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that dog
should be able to talk and asked who
had trained him, how long it had taken
etc, and wound up with:
"How much you take for himT'
ooh" said Mr.. Ventriloquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price, but
am little hard up now, aud if you will
lend me 500 I'll leave him with you till
| bring back the money"
"All right" said Hans. 81 just want
him for a little while so l can show
him to some smart people know
around here"
SO everything was settled, the money
paid, etc, and as the ventriloquist went
out he turned and waved his hand &c
the dog and said:
"Wen, gcodby, Jack. I'll come bach
soon."
The dog looked at him and said:

ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE.
One of the Great Dangers which
Threaten Men.


The greatest dangers which threaten
man are generally invisible to the vic
tim, and among these none is more
productive of disastrous consequences
than electrical leakage" the selfsame
eakage used by the natives Of all hot
climates to lower their temperatures.
AS no organic function can take place
except by means of electrical currents.
so it can be easily understood that If
these currents leak from our bodies
the loss of power must be distinctly
harmful. A common instance of this
loss Of electricity from our bodies con-
sists of what we call a nervous shock.
the scientific explanation being that
sudden egress of electricity takes place
owing to the violent mental impress
sions involuntarily forcing a current Of
power through channels which had not
been previously open to receive them.
This" remarked a scientist sis but
one case among thousand Of the ways
in which we uselessly expend our vital
power. The electrical waste of per-
son is entirely due to his surroundings
the seat upon which you sit, the ta-
BILE upon which you write, the floor, the
ceiling, the fireplace, the rays and col
ors Of light which surround you, all
may be instrumental in absorbing your
electricity, to the great detriment of
your health. Red or yellow light waves
excite electricity within you, blue and
violet waves exhaust it, while green
waves are practically neutral in their
effect.
''The air you breathe places you in
direct Communication with the walls,
! windows or hearth of your room; if.
owing to the manner in which they are
constructed, they place you in electrical
communication with the soil on which
your house is built, an earth return is
formed, and the electricity in mans
condenser-the brain-is drawn out OF
4 the body. When one stands in the
vicinity of a place of electrical exhaus-
tion one ought to face it, as the base
of the skull and spine, being the center
of the nervous system, are more sen
sitive to outside Influences than is the
more covered front Of the body. This
is why one feels so tired when sitting
with ones back to a fire; the flames
serve as conductors and extract thC
force from the exposed nervous cen

The Jarn nInneosteen.

"The most delicious of all the fruits
of Java" writes a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch. 'is the mangos-
teen. For years an enormous reward
awaited the man who would bring a
basket to the court Of Holland, but un-
fortunately the fruit is too perishable,
and TO taste it you must go to the coun-
try where 1t grows.
Incased in hard purple shell, lined
with an exquisite pink gauze. are a
number of snow white sections some
thing like those Of an orange, only each
one growing smaller as they round the
core. Each section contains one seed
incased in a substance like the nnlp Of
the grape. To describe the flavor would
be impossible, but if you can imagine
a perfect blending Of the flavor of the
grape, orange, pineapple and banana
you may have a notion of the delicious
flavor of the mangosteen."
