WEARING AN OPAL.
ConAicting SuperstitiOns About the
Luck 1t Brings.

Conflicting superstitions About the
Luck 1t Brings.
Mr. Thiselton Dyer in his domestic
Folklore" says that popular supersti-
ton makes it unlucky to wear an opal
ring Notwithstanding the fact that in
the middle ages this lovely stone was
thought to possess the united virtues
Of all the gems with whose distinctive
colors it is emblazoned.
A writer in Notes and Queries points
out that there are conflicting opinions
on this subject Of very early date, some
writer's stating that failing sight is re-
stored by the wearing Of an opal and
others that the luck depends upon the
color, white opal being of fortunate
import and a black one ominous Of
evil
Sir Walter Scott in "Anne Of Geier.

the loss Of beauty in Mexican opal
when it's iridescent surface is acted
upon by water, and some trace to this

The Sense of Smell.

The sense of smell is by no means
so developed in man as in dogs, cats
and other animals, but it is often alb
normally keen in individuals deprived
of other senses. Blind deaf mutes,
for example, can recognize their
friends and form an opinion about
strangers solely by means Of this
sense Possibly, however, animals are
only sensitive to certain smells while
unconscious of others that affect us.
If this be the case they would natural
~ be able to follow up one particular
scent more easily than man, this
scent to which they are sensitive be-
ing to them less confused with others.

Cloves.

Cloves are probably the greatest
speculative article in the spice trade
and have been SO for many hundreds
Of years, because they have always
come from small and restricted areas
of cultivation and have been used as
tribute, almost taking the place of
money in ancient times. They have
been mostly grown on the two small

A MILLION MEN.

Japan stnl insists that her purpose
will be served when open ports for
Manchuria and Independence for corea
are assured. Whether she has sinis-
ter motive back of her outwardly lib
eral sentiments. we do not know, but
none is apparent
Russia. on the other hand, has ex-
hibited rather tiresome petulance
ever since the war began. She has
been very ready to imagine that the
proclamations of neutrality are not be-
ing faithfully observed, and an init
nation was even received that she re-
scented the freedom Of the press in the
United states in discussing the causes
which led to the war.
when not exhibiting her petulance
she has INDUCED in herolcs. Early in
the war her generals proclaimed that
the treaty of peace would be signed in
Toxic. but the date was considerably
left blank.
Now comes more heroics from the
Czar. He proposes to sacrifice, If
necessary, "a million men to defeat
Japan. According to the Russian
theory OF government the Gear has a
right to sacrifice this, or any other
number Of men. They are his, and he
may dispose Of them as he thinks best.
But for his majesty to understand what
his determination means, he should
lead his army I'm person, go into the
thick of the fray, suffer exposure, and
hunger, and help to form the lines to
stop the bullets Of the enemy. Then
he might decide that the lives Of a
million men is too great price to pay
for an extension OF the Russian from
tier.

Of Health of Jacksonville, Fla, has
occupied that position for the last ten
years. In a recent letter to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval
of their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
in the following words;
"The health of the poor Of large city
is always a question Of vital interest not
only TO the city officials but TO every
citizen. 1t has been a source Of much
satisfaction to me to find that so large q
number Of working people in moderate
circumstances have accepted Peruna as
their family medicine. It has cured q
large number of cases especially of ca
tarrh Of the head, lungs and stomach

cannot fail but prove help and blessing
to any community where it is generally
adopted and used. have found it an
honest reliable remedy and am pleased

recognition win cause rejoicing in GER

Of the winners, it win not settle the
contest here IN Delaware.
It is a state fight. That fact was
emphasized by the Union Republican,
when the national convention seated
the Regular delegation eight years ago
and it was insisted on when the Unions
had their turn at being recognized fou
years ago.

EDITORIAL OPINION


Tobacco Invades London Guilds.
From The London city Press.
In the good Old days" when the wine
circulated freely after dinner, and every
bon viveur could gauge the merits of a
glass Of port TO have paid homage to the
goddess Nicotine would have been almost
an act Of sacrnege. Today a cigar as
looked upon as the inevitable sequel TO a
dinner. For a long while the more sedato
City Guilds resented this departure from
precedent. but one by one they have con-
ceded the point, and now the last of the
cold guard has fallen into line. Tho Gold
smiths Company has just granted per-
mission to smoke as soon as the Loyal
toasts have been honorcd.

THE lLLlNols DEMOCRATS.

The Hearst sweep OF Illinois means
several things. but IL does not mean
that the yellow journalist is any near
err the nomination. Carter Harrison
was bowled out Of the convention and
went back to Chicago In high dudgeon.
That cannot be regarded as a calamity,
for Harrison Is as great demagogue
as Hearst.
Another effect is to disgust a great
number Of the conservative Democrats
OF Illinois, which viii result In the
State going for Roosevelt without any
thing which may be called contest
The resolution instructing the dele
gates is such that Parker can never
receive their support. 1t binds the del
egates to support Hearst until his
name shall be withdrawn. It is certain
that Hearst viii never withdraw II he
thinks that the act would strengthen
Parker; so the Parker people must
reckon without Illinois. The action of
this convention seems to make Parker
impossible.
Then 1t practically insures the selec-
ton of dark horse. and this man
must be somebody acceptable TO the
Parker delegations on the one hand and
to Hearst and Bryan on the other. To
ind such a person may be difficult. and
result i'm bringing out an unknown
quantity OR It may result in the nam
ing Of man who win be regarded as
available because he has not antago-

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1904
AT OLD DELAWARE.

Today twenty young men, most OF
them from this state, viii march TO
the platform to receive their diplomas
from old Delaware. This number to
survive the eliminating processes Of
preliminary examinations. conditions,
and the rigors of the curriculum, shows
that the spirit Of education is as in
tense as ever, and that our state col
leee is doing larger share of the
work than ever before.
The branches Of the tree are spread
ing. but the roots are sending
themselves deeper and deeper.
There is reason for the belief that the
institution is more truly a college "a
the true sense of the word thah ever
before. For while buildings and equip
ment are desirable. yet they do not
make the college. The purpose and
the spirit are everything. We all re-
member the famous definition Of a coll
lege: mark Hopkins at one end OF a
table. and a student at the other" II
holds good today.
Delaware College has its work
mapped out; its place In education Is
fixed. We shall never create a vast
educational centre, attracting thou
sands Of students. It would be impos-
sible to attach to it professional schools
and postgraduate courses It must
continue as one Of the smaller coll
leges. but that doesn't mean that it
may not be among the best
We give il as the opinion Of many
prominent educators that the smaller
colleges IN many instances are doing a
better and more thorough work than
are some Of the popular universities.
The old humanities require only books
and men. Everything then depends on
the faculty. il must be composed OF
earnest students-men who have
broadened and deepened, and who viii
create an atmosphere which will in
spire their pupils to energetic study
Delaware does not need new depart
ments. but there is yet room for in
tensifying the courses already offered
