GREAT ENTERPRISES.

The Wilmington Board of Trade has
indorsed a number Of projects which
IL made operative would be OF incal-
ouable benefit to commerce. They
are.
a thlrty-hve foot channel for the
Delaware River and Bay.
The maintenance Of the authorized
twenty-one foot channel FOR the Chris
tlana.
The construction OF ship canal
from the Chesapeake to the Delaware
and
The completion OF the Assawoman
Canal
one OF these projects is local and
requires but a comparatively small APP
preparation, or rather, appropriations
from year to year. Our immediate
needs demand the keeping open OF the
Christlana. and even with wharves on
the Delaware. we shall always have
noed OF o. twenty-one foot channel to
the present city wharves. Therefore,
our people should keep in mind that
this is a matter OF prime importance
and that the demand for it should not
be swallowed up I'm larger enterprises,
though OF vast importance.
Then comes the Assawoman Canal
The people Of lower Delaware want to
see it completed. because they believe
IL would result in opening up a section
that now has no other outlet This
canal would mean an inland waterway
from Lewes to North Carolina; In fact
from Trenton and extending down the
coast almost indefinitely. The Import
ance Of this project is not fully COM
pretended. A great section along the
ocean is shut out from commerce be-
cause of the impossibility of securing
and maintaining outlets in that body
OF water. But there Is series OF in

this canal opened for a part of it'
length and it's value demonstrated il

should finally have an inland waterwa,

In the peninsula of Abeheron, for
merry belonging to Persia, but now n
part of Russia, there is perpetual or,
rather, what the natives call an eternal
sacred fire which Is known to have
been burning continually for more than
1000 years. 1t rises from an irregular
orifice of about twelve feet in depth
and 100 feet square. The flames, which
are constant, rise to a height Of from
six to eight feet, unaccompanied by
smoke or disagreeable smell, waving
back and forth with the wind like a
field of golden grain.

The Wiac Fox.

The Lion, the ASS and the Fox went
hunting together, and 1t was agreed
that whatever was taken should be
shared between them. They caught a
large fat Stag, which the Lion ordered
the ASS to divide. The Ass took deal
of pains to divide the Stag into three
pieces, which should be rs nearly equal
rs possible. The Lion, enraged with
him for what he considered n want of
proper respect to his quality, flew upon
him and tore him to pieces. He then
called on the Fox to divide. The Fox,
nibbling Off small portion for him
self, left the rest for the Lions share.
The Lion, highly pleased with this
mark Of respect, asked the Fox where
he had learned such politeness and
good breeding. ITO tell the truth,
sire" replied the Fox, Il was taught 1t
by the Ass that lies dead there

Two Classes.

Humanity, writes w. o. Smith,
may properly be divided into two
classes, Knockers and Boosters
those who hinder-those who
build and those who tear down
those who whine and kick and
grumble and those who cheer and
encourge. The Knocker is a dis
agreeable person, who makes
things unpleasant for himself and
as unpleasant as possible for those
with whom he comes in contact.
He sees all things through jaundi-
ced eyes, consequently all things
look yellow to him.
1t dosen't pay to be a Knocker.
The man who is sympathetic and
kind and helps to push things
along, always gets along best him
self. Everybody loves the Booster.
Every time he gives a fellow man a
boast he lifts himself. That is one
of the beautiful compensations OF
life.
The man who forms the habit OF
scolding and fault-fnding and con-
tinually calling attention to the
flaws and blemishes and weak.
nesses of mankind, ouly makes
himself disagreeable without doing
anybody any good. Encourage
ment is helpful. 1t strengthens
the worthy and weakcns the un.
worthy in the same proportion.
The best way to succeed in life is tc
help Others to succeed.

The Very First American Coins.

The Very First American Coins.
The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly Ameri-
can" was ordered by the original Vir-
g1nia company in the year 1912, only
five years after the founding of james
town. These coins were minted at
Somers islands, now known as the Ber-
mudas. For period of more than a
quarter of n century after this, how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency. In 1845
the assembly of Virginia met and de-
elared that 1t had maturely weighed
and considered how advantageous a
quoine (coin) would be to this colony,
and how much better 1t would be than
q sole dependency upon tobacco and
pelts." After this they provided for
the coinage of copper coins of the de-
nominations of twopence, threepence,
sixpence and ninepence, but this reso-
luton was never carried into effect
The first coinage In America proper
was the series of coins 'struck" at Bos-
ton under the order of the general
court of Massachusetts passed May 81,
1862, the coins being three, six and
twelve pence denominations, "in forme
flatt and stamped on one side with the
letters N. E. and on the other the

Is laughter immoral? That is Il very
important objection urged against
comedy from generation to generation.
It is not only not immoral, but it is the
preservation of morals to cultivate by
use faculty for all sorts of laughter.
It is the hallucination of prevalent evil
which drives men to despair. Now,
evil always seems to be prevalent
when you scrutinize it, for scrutiny in
wolves confined attention to what lies
Immediately under the lens In the To-
cused light. Being wherever we see,
we surmise-nay, affirm-it to be ev-
erywhere. But were 1t really every
where you and l could not be here to
express such an opinion. Clearly the
thing to do then Is to belittle the evil
by fair means and foul. to undlgnify 1t
and so rob it of its horrors that we
shall not lose wits or heart. By laugh
ing at the evil we get rid Of the false
impression of its omnipotence, we get a
little courage, and our despair turns u
somersaHt up into glory from the
swinging trapeze of faith.-Interna-
tional Quarterly.

Cause of Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, or tenanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is inactive SO long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries
to heal without maturation and in one

Chamberlain Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from resulting in
Pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure for
croupe. Whooping cough is not danger
Gus when this remedy is given. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleasant
to take. When all of these facts are
taken into consideration it is not surpris-
ing that people in foreign lands, as well as
at home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale by

Nature. Protection For the Ear

The membrane lining the canal of the
ear contains great number of little
glands which secrete waxy substance
having an intensely bitter taste. The
purpose Of this is to prevent the en-
trance Of insects and to keep the ear
clean, as the layer Of wax dries in
scales, which rapidly fall away, thus
removing with them any particle Of
dust or other foreign matters which
may have found entrance to the ear.
