the WHOLE FAMILY
Benefits by Pure Food.

It has happened in a great many cases
that one member of a family has begun
the use. Of the scientific food Grape Nuts.
and some Of the other members have
taken up the food and while enjoying it's
delicious flavor have been cured Of var
ious ailments and diseases which had
sprung from the use Of improper food. A
lady uf ST. Paul, Mimi, gives an instance
Of this. She says: 'Our year and a half
old baby has been changed by Grape Nuts
from an i'll nourished child, suffering con-
stantly from colds and general weakness
to a fit subject for q baby food picture. =
when We began to give her Grape
Nuts and milk We stopped all eotllers foods
and the Improvement was so rapid that we
could note the change from week to week.
Baby was made well and strong.
But when I~suggested 1t to- my hus-
band who had chronic dyspepsia terribly
he said I have dieted enough. A: man
may as well die as to live on health foods. :
But persisted and one morning I served
Grape Nuts and cream to him. When he
tasted it he was most agreeably surprised.
For the first time in months his stomach
and food agreed with each other and since
that time he has improved until he is a
staunch advocate of this delicious food
From our family the use of Grape
Nuts spread to our friends and one in
particular was very delicate and always

ORIGIN OF OLD SAYINGS.

The HOneymoon.-For thirty days
after a wedding the ancient Teutons
had a custom of drinking a mead made
of honey.
The BridegroOm.-In primitive times
the newly welded man had to wait
upon his bride and the guests on his
wedding day He was their groom.
Sirloin of Beef.-King Charles l., be-
Ing greatly pleased with a roast loin of
beef set before him. declared it good
enough to be knighted." 1t has ever
since been called Sir LOin
a Spinster.-Women were prohibited
from marrying in olden times until
they had spun a full set of bed fur
nishings on the spinning wheel; hence
till married. they were spinsters.
Cabal.-This word was coined in
Charles IFS reign and applied to his
cabinet council. 1t was made out OF
the initials of their names, which were
Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ash
ley, Lauderdaie.

scandinavian Carving.

From earliest times carving has re-
ceived great attention in Scandinavia.
One sees evidence of this in many Swe-
dish churches, both in wood and stone,
dating back many centuries. In Stock
holm are many to be found, now safe
ly cared for in a well known museum.
Some of these northern churches, nOta-
bly, those of BOrgund and HitteFdal,
are quite covered with such quaint or
namentation. Beyond such public ex-
preston of painstaking labor one may
see in almost any comfortably furnish
ed house wooden forks, spoons, salt
boxes and platters, but still more at
tracing attention are huge wooden
tankards, and these will often bear

associate with such depraved people as
they have endeavored to make out the
Union Republicans are? The fact of
their desire to reap the benefits accru-
ing from the deposits of Union Repub-
lican ballots, show conclusively that
the statements made against the in
tegrity of the Union Republican party
were lies, and those making them were
hypOcrites. 1t was this same yellow
journal which advocates fusion, with
the Democrats, during the last session
of the Legislature. Now it throws up
its hands and cries, "that the Demo
Gratis are liable to elect mayor of the
city of Wilmington. 1t was willing to
elect a Democrat United States Sena-
tor, but a Democratic mayor-Dever.
Has not the yellow Journal advised
the election of a Democrat, in prefer
ence to a Union Republican in Kent
and Sussex counties?
If this advice was good for us, why
shouldn't it be suitable to the people
of New Castle? Such candor and hon
esty deserves more than passing re-
mark. All the good people of the city
of Wilmington should go to the
"JournaW office and pat the editor on
the back for the way he is conducting

Red FLANNEL Currency.

A Scotch missionary to a group of
small islands in the south Pacific a
great manhyears ago found bits of red
flannel circulating as money. This cur
rency came to them in a curious man
ner. The body of a shipwrecked sailor
had drifted ashore, and to the untu-
tored savages, who had never before
seen clothing of any kind, his red fan
mel shirt was an object of wonder and
admiration. BY common consent they
cut the garment into small pieces
which thenceforth became the curren
cy of the island.

SAILOR AND HORSE.
How the Retired Sea Captain Made
Purchase.


Purchase.
In Horses Nine" Sewell Ford tells
how a retired sea captain bought a
horse. The story runs: AS one WHO in
spects an unfamiliar object Captain
Bean looked dazedly at Barnacles. At
the same time Barnacles inspected the
captain. With head lowered to knee
level, with ears cooked forward, nos
trils shifting and under lip twitching
almost as if he meant to laugh, Bar
nacles eyed his prospective owner.
Captain Bean squirmed under the
gaze of BarnaclC ; big, calm eye for
moment, and then shifted his position.
"What in time does he want any
way, Jed?' demanded the captain.

cap'n. Mighty knOwin' boss, he is.
Now, some bosses don't take notice of
anything. They're jest naturally dumb.
Then ag'in you'll find hosses that seem
to know every blamed word you say.
Them's the kind of hosses that's wuth

"S'pose he knows all the ropes, Jed"
Il should say he did, cap'n. If there's
anything that hoss amt done in his
day, l don't know what it's. Near's l
can find out he's tried every kind of
work, in or out of traces, that you
could think Of"
"Must be some old by your tell" sug-
gested the captain. "Sure his timbers
are all sOund?"
Dunno bout his timbers, cap'n, but
as fer wind an limb you won't find a
sounder hoss of his age in this county.
Course I'm not sellin' him fer a four
year-old."
Again Captain Bean tried to look
critically at the white horse, but once
more he met that calm, curious gaze
and the attempt was hardly a success
However, the captain squinted solemn
ly over Barnacles' withers and re
marked:
"Yes, he has got some good lines, as
you say, though you wouldn't hardly
call him clipper built Not much sheer
for'ard an leetle too much aft, ehT'
At this criticism Jed snOrted mirth-

"Oh, 1 s'pOse he's all right" quickly

cause the Union Republicans will not

Does Advertising Pay.

Does advertising pay? Does it? Note
the announcement of that Curtis Pub
fishing Company, publishers of the
Ladies Home Journal: The Proctor &
Gamble Company, of Cincinnati, have
awarded a contract for a full page in
each issue of the Ladies Home journal
for three years, with option of two ad-
ditional years for the advertising of
Ivory Soap. The price agreed is the
Journals full rate, $4,000 per page,
making an expenditure of $48,00O per
year, or S144, 900 for the three years
absolutely contracted for and 500, 900
for the two optional years representing
contract for S24O, ,OOO
Occasionally we hear of a concern
with a small local reputation say, "We
don't have to advertise. Weare already
we'll enough known" Ivory soap, too
is pretty well known, yet its manufac-
turers are willing to pay one periodical
of $48, 900 per annum to make 1t better
known. The manufacturers of this
soap realize as do all successful adver-
tisers that thousands of new purchasers
are constantly appearing in the market.
