DEAR KATE RICHMOND -
l have recently married a farmer.
My home has ALWAYS been in the citv.
| am very ignorant on matters that
pertain to farm life but | am anxious
10 learn. l want to raise flock of tur-
keys. | have asked several persons
how to care for them, for | understand
they are difficult to raise, quite differ
ent from chickens. Each person has
told me different diet. One says,
iced dough-" another, "bread pud-
dung" another, Hard boiled eggs a d
onions" Now. which shall l choose ?
Will you help me to a decision?
E. NJ. T.
L must confess that I have had no
experience in raising turkeys, but l feel
safe in referring you to an article in a
recent issue in this paper written by
your townsmau, Mr.. B. F. B. Wood
all. His directions are very explicit
and he knows whereof be speaks. May
you have great success with your first
flock Of turkeys.
Relative to the recipes that will ap-
pear each week, desire to st,e that
they have all been tried many times.
ifnot by myself, by my friends. Will
you not send in recipes that are espec-
tally esteemed in Delaware? | know
your excellent reputation for good

Tribute to Senator Vest.

Of the retiring. senators Mr. Vest has played far the most conspicuous part in national affairs. He is rounding out his fourth term, and his constituents sincerely regret to lose his services. His party has found him very valu- able man in the senate, where his fe- batting power, the vas; store of F.s in formation, and his ardent partiyanship have kept him in the from rank. And above all things. q dc1ste' .rarT, az grcssivc. adro.t end vatcnfu, nc mas figured ir all of the leading dI=cusstjus in the senate during his tWenty-15Ur years Of service there and in some or them he has carried off the hOnors Of his side. He bore the brunt or the con- test when the Wilson tam bill was passed, and he was probably the only man among the democva s capable of meeting with safety so ex- pert a debater on the tariff question as Mir. Aldrich. MT. Vest. moreover IS personally very popular on both sides of the chamber. and that fact adds to the loss his party Is sustaining ir t.s return to private life.-Washingtcn Post.

this object, directly or indirectly, open or secret assaults upon law and order. A conception of what it is proposed to accomplish in the case of children, for instance, may be obtained from a paper laid before the national legisla- ture by Arthur Macdonald, one of the specialists of the educational bureau. Professor Macdonald has been for years an investigator into abnormal social conditions. and has invented sev- eral instruments to aid him in his pursuits. Scientific child study is field in which he finds very great fasci- naticn. No less than twenty thousand children in the Washington public schools have been examined by him from this point of view, and many Of and valuable. Girls. he concludes, are q little brighter than boys O. the same age, but this may be owing to the fact that the latter take longer to mature. In the case of children born of Ameri- can and foreign percentage, he finds the former to be superior. They are taller and heavier and mentally quicker. This holds true, he declares. even when ore of the parents is of foreign birth.
 Popular belief runs counter to this inference. the generally accepted the ory being that the blending Of races is productive of the best results. A comparison of the children oi the la boring classes with those of the pro fessionaI and mercantile ones give the latter the advantage in nearly every way, except in the matter of sickliness and nervousness, where the children of the laboring portion of the commit nity rise higher in the scale.
 Boys, Professor Macdonald asserts, show a much higher percentage of moral defect than girls, the propor- ton of the two sexes in prisons and reformatories, being four CT five males to one female. But when the latter are bad, they are very very bad, thus bearing out the truth of the old nurs-
 
 when she was good, was very, very good, and when the reverse she was horrid. Left-handedness comes under the ban of the profession. The bright est pupils are more right handed" than the others, and among the crimi- nal classes left t-handedness is more common than it is among ether people If it be true that the child is father of the man as well. it is to be supposed, the mother of the woman, it is obvious that the sooner the little men and wo- men are known scientifically, the better it will be from every point of view. Such knowledge will be Of incaIcuIable value to intelligent parents and consci- entiOus teachers.

CURRENT COMMENT
More Indians Than Ever.

The removal of 5000 Choctaws from Mississippi and Louisiana to the In dian Territory, which is now in prog ress, need inspire no eloquence about red mems wrongs and "palefac ces broken treaties" The treaty brea king was on the other side; these members of the tribe are descended from those who failed to move west in 1880 as they agreed, and they are exchanging a pre- cariUus and hard existence for one Of comparative affiuence.
 Our Indians do not now fare badly Far from dying out, they are increas- ing in number. The census of 1890 re- ported 249O00 of them; Secretary Hitch cocks recent report shows an increase to 25a00O. Allowing for Indian admi,;- ture in men reckoned as whites, there is more Indian blood in the country today than when the pilgrims landed Then the tribes were decimated by iis- ease and wasted by wars; great tracts of uninhabited forests Jay between them, and they could not hold lands so much wider than they used. Now their descendants mostly dwell in compact communities, usually civilized and prosperous.
 The rise in value of their lands has made most of the Indians well-to-do. the richest tribes being three or four times as wealthy as the same number of average whites. And the admission to full statehood of their territory either separately or with Oklahoma. as proposed by the senate committee. can not be much longer delayed. d.-New York World.

Solving the Fuel Problem for the
 Southwest.

Cheap fuel would transform indus trial conditions in Arizona. Already, of course. much benefit has been de- rived by using the fuel oil oi California and Texas, and the use of that product has become quite general with the railroads in the territory. At great eX- pense the locomotives on the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe have been equipped with oil burners and in the near future the Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix will abandon coal for oil. Storage tanks for this purpose are to be constructed at Prescott and Phoenix immediately. A number of mines also use oil for fGel, but oil brought from California or Texas is cheap" only in comparison with high priced coal.
 Before a great while, We do not doubt, oil deposits will be found ia this territory, but meanwhile the mining smelting and manufacturing industries will be interested by the news from Beaumont, Texas, that a process has been invented whereby the Beaumont crude oil is converted into gas so cheapIy that it can be furnished at cost far below any fuel now on the market. The appliance has been pat cntcd by an Ohio man, and it is claimed that especial tests have been made with Beaumont oil, and in all cases these have been successful. The pecu- liar qualities of the Beaumont oil have rendered it unfit for refining purposes, and its adoption as a fuel in the south west country has been general
 Should this invention prove entirely successful which the investigators of the method claim is certain, then an immediate use can be put to the Beau mont product, which will materially increase it's value By means of the new generator, gas can be produced at a cost of six cents per 1000 feet, which is oae-third, on the average, of the price of natural gas.
 Natural gas has proved Q great boon to those fortunate enough to be able to secure it's use, and there is no req son why oil of the Beaumont or any other kind cannot be put to excellent use, providing the invention proves an entire success.
 The cost of the generator. as it will be put on the market, is $25O, of the size for practical use. The gas has proved success in operating gas en- zines. and, as the generator only weighs in the neighborhood of a ton, it can be easily conveyed from enc place to another thus making it practicable in the southwest and Mexico, where the fuel and motive power question is at present such a serious problem. The machine is capable of making. under ordinary conditions, 2,J0O feet of gas per hour, using the raw material at the rate of about two gallons per hour.
 The oil is fed into the converter by means of a seIf-regulating spray cock. The oil is then subjected to a tempera- ture of probably 500 degrees, at which stage it is converted into gas by an ingenious arrangement of asbestos as a volatilizer.
 The heat is supplied by means of the gas generated by the converter. and when once set going, the apparatus needs no attention, as the feed is regu- lated by air pressure, which can be supplied by a gas engine exhaust

Rev. F. J. Van Horn was very frank with the council that installed him in the pastorate of the Old South church of Worcester, Mass. He said he be- lieved in God primarily because his father did. in Christ primarily be- cause his mother did, and in the Holy Spirit primarily because his teachers at Oberlin did. He said he was in clined to think of Christ as the first of all created beings, and to regard i'm mortality as conditional. Rev. Dr.. McCullagh suggested that his view of Christ savored of Arianism. Rev. MT. Van Horn smiled. "I suppose men have been burned for saying just that thing he said.

CHANGE BREAKFAST.
Habit of Healthy Europeans

The sturdy Scotch, Germans, French and Italians seldom or never eat meat for breakfast.
 Long experience has taught that the breakfast should be simple and not in- cludc meat.
 Many Americans suffer with weak stomachs and more or less illness be- cause they fail to understand the sim pie and healthful plan of a breakfast somewhat like the following:
 A little fruit.
 A dish of Grape-NUts and cream.
 One or two soft eggs.
 A cup of PostUm Food Coffee and perhaps piece of hard toast
 A man says, "I couldn't go on that until nOon.'
 One or two days trial will teach him big volume Of facts and make him feel fit as a 70 ------e is a deen mn deriving and scientific reason. The best argument, however, is the actual experience with such breakfasts.

A Federal Bureau for the Study of
 Crime.

If any one of half a dozen bills, pend ing in congress, shall become a law, or the substance of all of them is blended into one comprehensive measure, the United States buerau oi education will be authorized to begin, on a vast scale, the most scientific investigation and study of the abnormal classes, com mencing with children in the schools, that has never been undertaken. These bills do not embody the views of men tally unbalanced visionaries. Below the titles of them stand, as their au- thors, the names of practical statesmen and lawmakers like Senators Hoar, Nelson. Bacon. McComas, Quay Pen rose, Money, and Representative Henry of Connecticut. The central idea of the proposed legislation is "to establish
 a laboratory for the study of the criminal, pauper and defective classes. ." Broad as this is, it does not limit the scope of the scheme. for the project contempIates the compilation and classification of sociological data. as found in penal and rcformatory insti-

A cable dispatch from Milan to the New York Sun reports that Signor Pansa, an engineer of Casino. has in vented a machine which converts the ing electric current. He believes that by the use of this machine every one will soon be enabled to manufacture his own electric power. This Italian inventor is none too previous with his discovery. If, as claimed, the anthra- cite coal fields will be exhausted within sixty years from now and the bitumi- nous fields in two hundred years, it is time for somebody to harness up old Sol.

Kites and Aerop,aues.

Prof Alexander Graham Bell, known to all the world as a scientist and ?n inventor of useful and practical things announces that he has devised an ap- paratus which will lift a man into the air and then let him down again abso lutely uninjured. Although he has long been interested in Prof Langleys cx- reliments, the new discovery 3f his does not resemble in any important re- spect the Langley aeroplane. The ex- pl5nation was hardly necessary for, as V" understand the Langley a~rcnIa1c that remarkable triumph of mechanism does not lift a man, if. indeed it lifts anything at all. Prof. Bells apparatus. as he describes it, is merely a kite on a large scale. It must be anchored to the ground, exactly like the kite of boyhooc's happy hour, the only depart ure from first principles consisting in 2 device that will secure the safe, easv and unerring descent of the aeronaut when he cuts the rope.
 The professor refuses to enter into particulars. For the present he will say nothing more than We have indi. cated above. It is very probable that he vii consult with Prof. Langley dlr- ing the winter, comparing the virtues of the two eontrivances-also compar- ing their defects, 1T they have any. Conceivably, it may end in a judicious combination of the more valuable quaI- ities of the kite and the aeroplane. The former seems to possess large possibiii- ties. for it will ascend to any desired altitude, provided the rope be long enough, whereas the latter boasts the merit of absolute safety, since it doee not ascend, and could not lift man if 1t did. These are two great ends that
