SPECIAL SESSION IN DELAWARE
Legislature to Meet December 20 to
Amend Judgment Lien Laws.


Wilmington. Del, Dec. IA. - Gov
ernor HUM decided to call a special
session of the Delaware legislature for
December %.
This action was taken in response to
the almost unanimous request of the
lawyers of Kent and Sussex counties
for the purpose of securing an amend
ment to a judgment lien law affecting
those two counties. passed at the last
session. The act makes invalid all
judgments on real estate after 10 years
unless renewed by agreement in writ
ing between the two parties. but a
blunder in the law made it apply to all
liens on the LIST of January next. in

Trees Of Many FRUITS.

Country Life ia America: Many
people who live on city lots long for
fruit trees or their from which to
gather fresh fruit instead OF being de-
pendent on the markets, but, owing to
cramped garden area, they feel that an
orchard is an impossibility. Mr..
Vaughn Of Pasadena was confronted
by Just such o problem, but he has
~cleyeriy found a way out OF the diff
Guilty. On the back OF his town lot
he had room for six fruit trees. He
planted naval Ina m peaches and
plums. and, when they became strong
and sturdy. he grated and budded
other varieties into them. The opera
lions were all successful, and now Mr..
Vaughn has numerous varieties OF fruit
that ripen at all times OF year and fur
nish an abundance for table use. On
one naval orange tree Mr.. Vaughn bud
sded a tangerine, a grape fruit, a lemon,
and a blood orange, making with the
naval orange itself five kinds OF fruit
on one tree. They all bear profusely,
and the fruit Is OF extraordinarily large
size The peach trees were budded
with numerous varieties OF early and
late peaches rs we'll as %apricots and
nectarineE. These trees bear from the
first OF July to the first OF November.
The plum trees have been induced 70
produce many kinds OF plums. IL all
the fruit raised from these six trees
came from individual trees Of their own
kind, 1t would take something like a
hve-aere ranch 10 accommodate the
orchard.

IN AN ANTARCTIC souALL.
When the Temp rature is at 70 De.
qrees of Frost.


Century Magazine: Suddenly the
mist lifted and the temperature, which
generally rose during a gale, by this
time had fallen to ~ degrees of frost.
The first squat brought drift snow, and
we suffered greatly from frost bites
while securing our little camp. Our
reindeer sleeping bags, while warm
from previous use, had been packed
ON the sledge, where they became quite
fiat and frozen hard, so that when the
gale surprised us we had to thaw our
selves gradually into the bags. Later
on we used the dogs to thaw out the
bags for US. They always liked to roll
upon anything that was not snow or
ice, even were it but a thrown-away
mitten and they would turn round and
round over il imagining that they were
warmer there than on the snow. When
later we threw our frozen bags on the
snow, the dogs generally clustered
together on them at once, and soon at
ter we could get into them.
BY this time the gale was over us in
earnest, n we took refuge In our
sleeping bags in the tent, from which
we were not able to extricate ourselves
for the next three nights and DAYS.
In which time we expected the Icy fioor
beneath us TO break up at any mo-
ment. Our silk tent rapidly filled with
a dense fog. both from our breath and
from the neat given out Dy the lantern.
a thick layer OF frost soon covered the
inner walls Of the tent, n beautiful
snow crystals shone down on us
through the ventilation hole in the bag.
The drift now left us just enough
space for our sleeping bags. The dark
little spot which we formed on those
vast white fields was blotted out. Men.
ledogs and sledges all disappeared. and
the antarctic gale as 1t ragged over us
found nothing but cold white solitude.
For three nights and three DAYS we
had TO take turns in standing on ali
fours to prevent being smothered by

| and Immediately Sprang into popular
| ity. Ere 4 week all New York was
whistling it, and the theatre was
packed each night by people eager to
hear Uncle Dan sing it. Dixie was
soon being sung all over the entire
north by minstrel companies, and was
never heard in the south until the
northern companies introduced it
there. 1t was then adopted by the
cOnfederacy as their national anthem.
Strangely enough, Dixie" or
'DiXie's Land" referred not to the
north nor a part of the south. it was
the name of an estate on Manhattan
island, the property of a man named
DiXey, who was one of the largest
shareholders of his day, until the
rapid growth of the anti-slavery move
ment in the north compelled him to
sell his slaves N the south. 1t was
from these blacks and their descend
ants that the words Dixie land" came,
g. re1-irg tEeir longing for their for
nCr Ions and master.
From this, and the fact that the ne
groes called the states south of the
Mason and Dixon line, the Dixie
iollh 11lllulGIJ SOJ tlit IldIlle given HIS
famous song. He continued to travel
with the Bryant brothers until 1865,
when he located in Chicago. Here lie
remained for upward of twenty-five
years, playing in the various theatre
orchestras and taking part in contin-
uOus minstrel performances.
Early in his career as a minstrel
Emmett had visited his parents, who
were in reduced circumstances, and
made them comfortable for life. He
educated his only brother and two
sisters. The brother became a jurist. |
the sisters married well, and one of |
them became a successful authoress. |
Emmett had his day, a day crowned |
with triumph and extraordinary sue
cess. Finally his star was in the de |
scendent. He lost prestige and lat |
terly travelled with various circuses, |
marrying an equestrienne.
In 1891 Emmett was playing fiddle. !
not his grand old Cremona, with which |
he once delighted thousands, but a |
cheap affair, in the purlieus of New |
Orleans. An appeal was made for
him through a theatrical publication,
and it is understood that some stage
folk provided for his removal 10
Mount Vernon and for his mainte-
nance there.

the flag" is TO be preserved and TO
that end the government has decided
to purchase the house. The fact that
the nation did not secure the house
of so sacred a symbol of national life
long ago has often been wondered at.
1t is also gratifying TO note the re-
markable success of HOstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters in curing Indigestion, dys-
pepsia. constipation, biliousness, nerv-
BUSINESS. headaches and malaria, fever

that sickly people will continue to

Opens an Epoch

The electric farm is a present day
realization of dreams of scientists OF
the past, but it's fullest possibilities
are not measured by any achievement
so far obtained. In the efforts to in
crease the yield of our crops attention
has repeatedly been drawn to the
wonderful effect of electricity in slim
ulating the growth of plants, but the
experiments made in the early part
OF the present decade justified no ex-
tensiye use of this agent in ordinary
agriculture. Little more was accom-
plished than demonstration of certain
spectacular results. For instance, the
arc light was found to stimulate the
growth of lettuce and radishes so that
they would be increased three or four
fold within an incredibly short time,
and the yield of wheat was more than
doubled under the same influence.
The color of flowers was changed and
intensified by the electric light when
applied nightly, and ordinary plant
seeds could be made to terminate in
half the usual length of time.
These results, spectacular to de-
gree, were of less definite value than
appeared at HFSJ SlSlt, because Lney
were accompanied by other phenom-
ena that partly offset their good. The
intensely brilliant flowers that were
born and matured within a few days
easily succumbed to ordinary infiu-
ences of decay. Their vitality had
been absorbed in the forcing process
and the colors were not able TO hold
long in, broad daylight. The mon
strous radishes, seventeen inches long
in some instances, were tasteless and |
insipid, pithy to the very core, the |
wheat grain was soft and lacking in |
firmness of texture, and the dozen |
and one plants forced by the electric /
arc light lacked the necessary vitality /
TO perpetuate their kind.
But in the past few years the field /
of electricity has been extended; its |
direct and indirect application to diff
ferent lines of work is better under
stood, and a knowledge of it's action in
plant and human life more
generally appreciated.
Taken From Atmosphere.
Atmospheric electricity is now col
lected on some farms and distributed
by underground wires to different
parts of the fields. The more or less
