DUTY before pleasure" and "All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" are familiar to us all. 1t is well
to have a due proportion and the very
best of each if possible. play"
is going to come first in order this
time. There are many kinds of play
which are of little or no value to the
participants-other and better should
be put in their places. In the first
place, what is play? Its object and
place in our lives? Perhaps some one
will give an interesting answer
through your columns.
There are several games which
should like to give for the benefit Of
pupils and teachers. An indoor game
which for lack of better name we
will call Letters" is very interest
ing and instructive for half an hour
or so on a Friday afternoon. 1t is
played with cards, which are about
an inch square. on one side of each
of which is printed one letter of the
alphabet. They may be bought or
"home made" There should be more
of some letters, as "a" "b," e." and
others, and less of some as "x," ~"
and others. The cards are placed
letters down" in the center of the
table, around which the players are
seated. The game may be geography
names, names of authors, titles of
books, nouns or adjectives; perhaps
some may be able to add to this list,
which makes a profitable" game.
One player turns up a card and places
it Immediately where all can see it,
ana each of the other players gives
a geography name, if it is a geography
game, beginning with the letter on
the card as soon as possible. The
one giving a name first, each name
can be given only once during the
game, is the winner of the card. Then
card and all try to give a name first
again, and so on until the game is
closed. The one having the greatest
of cards is the winner of the
game. The interest is often intense
and the benefit in making the pupils
with geography names and
in making them think quickly can
easily be seen. After the pupils begin
to lay up a "stock supply of easy
and familiar names, let them be put
on a list of excluded names;" for in
stance, Astoria for "a" Portland for
"p."
Wolf and Deer-A rather small |
court" is marked off. This deer are
scattered around. One or both wolves |
may go out and touch" deer which |
must then go into the court and re-
main until touched by free deer |
After a prisoner is taken, unless he |
sees it is perfectly safe to leave the
prisoner deer and go after another, |
one wolf remains on guard to prevent |
another deer touching him, for If |
another deer does touch the prisoner |
he is free again to leave the court. |
The object is to get all the deer into |
the enclosure if possible. It is a |
good outdoor game.

The Waterville Times: "With a
heavy snow storm since our last. work
in the hop yards. already far behind,
is further delayed. 1t has cleared
again, however, and there is once
more hope that warm weather will
come to stay. Very few growers have
done anything more in their yards
than to set poles. Not much grubbing
has been done, consequently the con-
dition of the roots cannot be told.
There has been some call for roots for
setting new yards, but growers report
that they think they will be scarce,
and worth at least $500 a bushel.

dug into the hop hills to see how the
roots had Jared during the winter. The

Several farmers stated that the roots

place he verifies the recently reported strike of an ore body of wonderful richness in the Bonanza mine at Har- qua Hala- and says everything is be- ing put in order for the starting of the mill as soon as possible.
 The Socorro mine. almost due west of Wickenburg, he says, is to resume operations at once. Some new capital has become interested and all old debts against the property are being dis charged. Prof. F. c. Smith will be the new superintendent and will re- side with his family at the mine. His household goods are now at Congress Junction en route to the mine. The new foreman of the mine will be Bar ney J. Quinn. competent mining man and for a long time associated with the Bonanza mine at HarGua Hala. Work will begin on the property in a few days.
 It is a matter of general report that the Socorro mill was started before sufficient ore was brought to the sur | face to insure continuous operation, although there is no doubt but there is plenty of ore in the mine. It is the purpose of the present management, says pr. Geer. to open up the mine in a way that will make available an am ple ore body. before the mill i5 started again.
 Dr. Geer says he has resumed opera | tions on his Mineral Belt group, a mile and a half from the Socorro, and has about ten men employed. He says he has ore enough now blocked out to keep a mill running for a year or two, but he does not inteQd to remove it | from the stopes till after the building J of the Arizona.

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS
A Nominee for Governor Who Will
 Not Abandon His Post.

Dover, Delaware. Aug. 9.-Dr. Joseph Chandler. when nominated for gover- nor of Delaware by the regular" re- publican convention today caused a profound stir by taking the platform and declaring that he accepted the nomination under the sole considera- tion that he would enter the fight to the end and stay on the ticket until November. "I would rather suffer an honest defeat" he declared, than be pulled off the ticket that somebody else might be substituted
 This was received with deafening cheers from the Dupont men, who had won a victofy over the Higgins forces in nominating Chandler. The "regu- lars" who composed today's convention are really outnumbered by the union, or Addicks republicans and when in re- cent years they have made out ticket it has always been with the under standing that d truce would be patched up later and the republican factions would agree to trade and substituts nominees, making one ticket to meet the united democrats.
 Many of the Dupont delegates. af- ter the completion of the state ticket today, thinking they had won d vic tory against any alliance with Addicks or Addicks republicans, left for their homes.
 The Higgins men, who are more con ciIiatory to the Addicks republicans and desire one state ticket, even at a sacrifice. after many delegates had left, got through a resolution which empowers the state central committee to make any changes upon the ticket named today which in their Judgment is necessary to bring about the success of the whole republican ticket in Dela- ware.

AMERICANS FOR THE NAVY.

The charge has frequently been made that the American navy of today Is American in name only, that the mass of It's enlisted men are foreigners, and that not little of its worth is due to this fact. Even during the Spanish American war some kindly critics abroad ascribed the success of the American squadron as largely due~to the presence of English gunners behind the guns.
 Unhappily, even as late as 1890 only tr!fle more than 50 percent of the en- listed men in the American navy were citizens. But we have changed all that since then. The report of the secre- tary of the navy for the year ended June 30, shows that the percentage of Americans in the nivy has increased to about 95 per cent. And to account for this per cent of foreign born an official is quoted as saying:
 Were it not for the fact that ser ants and mess attendants, most of | whom are foreigners, are numbered | among the enlisted men in the navy. the rolls would be very nearly purely American. As evidence which upholds | the contention that the navy is nearing an unusual point as regards American | ism is the large percentage of native | born men found among the apprentices and landsmen for training. Last year i the percentage was 95 American born and foreign born for apprentices and e3 and percent respectively for lands men. It is said that in this years re- port the foreign born percentage will | be considerably lower"
 And the official just quoted adds the significant fact:
 Most of our sailors are coming from the inland states. We are getting the best men of the navy from the farms of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas
 We don't need to take foreigners as
 we did ten years ago. because we had no men trained for the seas in our own | land ="
 What is there in the featuresles and sun-swept plains of Kansas and Illinois | that turns the youthful fancy seaward IL affords an interesting theme for | speculation. Perhaps the phenomenOl
 may be accounted for by the peculiarly
 noted by Ruskin that dwelIers on tn,
 plains find their ideal landscape in rug ged mountains, while those of the mountains turn of preference to peace
 full glades and valleys. Whatever tho
 cause that prompts the farm-bre tc
 take to the sea, it is beneficent thing
 if it is giving the navy it's most valuet

GOT SQUARE WITH BANK.
Paymaster Insisted on Having British
 Gold in Place of Notes.

The late Paymaster Clark of Dela- ware of the United States Navy, was attached to one of the ships on the European station during the period of the Civil war. She was an armed ves- sel and had been long at sea, and went in for coal, provisions, and to give the men liberty day on shore. To meet these and other expenses Paymaster Clark drew sight drafts on the Sub Treasury of New York through the government agents, J. s. Morgan & Co, bankers. in Old Broad street, London.
 Accompanied by the Vice Consul, he went to the Plymouth Branch of the Bank of England, and presenting his drafts. asked to have them changed for 1 notes and gold. The Bank manager. | not content with exercising proper commercial scrutiny. was extremely disobliging, and finally said: Well, do not know the Sub-Treas- ury, I do not know the paper, nor you. and l never had business with the gentleman who is United States vice. l consul here, so won't cash your drafts You say J. s. Morgan will indorse them. You had better go up to Lon don and let him cash them" MT. Clark went out to the telegraph office and put himself in communica- tlon with the manager of the house of Morgan, who went to the Bank of Eng land in London. The bank sent word to the Plymouth Bank manager. and that gentleman came personally to the | Royal Hotel, and, with hat in hand. | begged to be of service to Payma ster Clark in any way that gentleman would suggest.
 | The apparently placated Paymaster. accompanied by his clerk, went with the bank officer to the bank. The drafts were duly passed over. and q large bundle of Bank of England notes l placed before the Paymaster. l What are these?" asked Clark. | Those are Bank of England notes"
 Yes, see they are notes, signed by Frederick May, that the bank will pay bearer, etc. Well I do not know MT. May, and of course I do not know vou. This paper may be good but I have no assurance of that. I'll trouble you for the gcld.''
 The humiliated bank manager had to hunt it up, and Paymaster Clark had f carried down to the boat in triumph.
 T would have preferred part of the money in notes," he said, but could not refuse the chance of getting even with him. New York Times.
