SUNDAY BALL ROW

According to reports frem Delaware
City an argument is on there between
soldiers at Fort DUPONT and some people
of the town in reference to Sunday base
ball. The soldiers have been running
Sunday games on the government reser
vation and some town people object.
The soldiers claim that the games dc
no harm, but the people of the town
claim that it is violation OF the moral
code and should not be permitted.
Sometime ago the pastor of the Methodist
Church preached against the Sunday ball
games and now there has been petition
sent to the commandant of the post ask
ing him to stop the games. No answer
has yet been received.
In defense of the games the soldiers
claim that Sunday is the only day which
they have for recreation and as the games
are played upon government property the
town people should not object. The
town people in reply to this declare that
the Sunday games set bad example for
the youth of the village. 1t is likely
that some action on the matter will soon
be taken by the commandant of the post.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE

Growing plants, and especially odori-
ferrous Towering plants, are OF the great
est value in the treatment of the sick, "
said DIR. Frances Bartlett of Philadelphia.
As long as the plants are kept moist
they will diffuse the moisture, and they
undoubtedly have the power to produce
ozone. Some plants will vaporize the
atmosphere to the amount of three times
their own weight in day. In this way
the atmosphere of sickroom can be
made of the greatest benefit. The only
dangerous plants to place in sickroom
are those which give off unpleasant odors.
Why send consumptiyes to Colorado to
benefit by the climate when We can
bring that climate into their homes by
the simple expedient of having growing
plants i'll their rooms? Care should be
exercised in regard to cut flowers They
should not be left in the rooms at night.
They throw off carbon dioxide, but dur
ing the daytime the amount OF oxygen
they produce neutralizes the harmful ef-
fects.''

ACORN YEAR

The indications are that this IL to be a
great corn year. The department of agri-
culture reports that an enormous crop is
in prospect for this fall. The entire corn
belt is expected to yield heavily above
the average, and in the sections where
not SO much corn is cultivated, is it esti-
mated that the general result, will be
good. The department places the entire
corn crop at something like 1864, ,S41 200
bushels, 320,664, ,375 bushels more than
the total crop of last year. This vast
crop represents value of large proper
tions. All other kinds of grain promise
big yield, and the vegetable crop is max
ing a favorable showing. Late last spring
farmers thought the outlook for the sea-
son very gloomy, and the result is some.

TIES ON RAILROAD TRACK

GEORGETOWN, DEL, August 14th.-Ar
attempt was made by some person or per
sons to wreck the Rehoboth moonlight
excursion train last night upon its return
from that place.
When nearing Lewes tie engineer dis
covered several ties piled across the tracks
and it was with difficulty that he managed
to stop the train in time to avoid an acci-
dent.
Fortunately the train was going at a
low rate of speed in order to give time for
the collection of tickets before reaching
Lewes. The engine struck the ties but
not with sufficient force to do much dam
age. Many of the excursionists did not
know of the sudden take up until after the
train was again started.

MANAGING CHILDREN

r
| 1t is very seldom indeed that a num-
Der of children play together for five
minutes without some member of the
group piping: ''Now, you stop that I'll
tell mamma on your p Sometimes the
threat to tell is repeated dozen times in
half an hour.
Have you ever noticed that "I'll tell
mother on you'' is nearly always whined
forth, not shouted? OF course. That's
instructive inclination toward the fitness
OF things. The telltale habit is whining
habit and comes from a whining frame
OF mind, and is altogether as contemp.
tlble frailty as ever beset human nature.
Not that the children are to blame;
they pattern themselves very often after
adult telltales. 1t is scarcely conceivable
but there are actually mothers who tell
tales on the little ones to their father
you just wait till your father comes
home" she says. 81 am going to tell
him what you did. Then we'll see."
And the children go around hangdog
fashion, dreading instead of welcoming
the hour of their fathers arrival. He
comes, hears the tale of horror and blindly
imagining-poor, ignorant man-that he
ought to enforce his wife's authority,
''corrects" the children. What a mis-
taken way of bringing them up! How
more worthy of respect is the
mother who settles her own scores with
them That act OF telling is nothing
more nor less than confession of weak
ness.

WHAT MAKES A DOCTOR

The skill of physician is in part
similar to that of any other man Of
science. Primarily he should have 6
mind for detail and exact thinking. The
method of exclusion, sit cannot be any
thing else, so it it must be typhoid, u
or malaria, is the sign of vagueness, and
has diminished with the progress of the
laboratory spirit. The able diagnostician
recognizes each disease. not by loose OBJ
vious symptoms, but by a variety OF
exact details, often discoyerable only on
analysis, and peculiar to that disease.
For years malaria has been made to cover
more ignorance than any other disease,
and in former times there were other
words, such as the vapors, which cloaked
the entire failure of the doctors to form
concrete images of physiological condi-
tions. This exact mind for detail makes
the physician on the side of diagnosis.
When it comes to acting on his under
standing, to removing acondition which
he understands, other qualities become
requisite. Some of them are traits of
mind. such as fertility Of invention, re-
sorcefulness in thinking OF schemes, but
others are traits of character, moral attri-
butes, such as will, sympathy, tact, and
infinite patience. No profession in our
day has Inade-such progress as the med.
ical, counting surgery as part OF 1t and
its unexampled improvement is part OF
our progress in science, fthe field OF
thought in which the nineteenth CEN,
tury was most notable. In many pro-
LESSONS there has been no progress at
all, certainly not in law or in the pull

LETTER wR1H1nG ART

One thing every girl should know some
thing of, practically, as well as theoreti
cally, is the art of writing graceful, well
expressed, dainty note or letter. Few
things are more pleasant to the recipient
than a really clever and witty letter, q
fact whicii every girl should bear in mind.
She Should understand that one of the
objectionable sins is a gift unacknowledg-
ed, a question unanswered, request to
which there has been no response, says
Woman's Life.
When she has learned the rudiments,
when she knows what the ordinary rules
OF grammar, punctuation and compost
ton require, let her not by any means be
satisfied. After this she must learn to
express herself individually, to give the
graceful turn, and say the pleasant thing.
Nothing is such death to good writing, as
haste. None can do justice to either
without giving herself up to it entirely
for the time being. There should be no
sign of telegraphic curtness, nor on the
other hand of padding trying to
fill up given amount of space with words
only, so that the document may present
to the eye the appearance of letter.
A girl should understand what value
there is in a little note ofreply, congratu-
lation, coincidence. In writing them she
should avoid stock phrases, and speak
from her heart naturally, simply. She
should also recognize what bond is
brightly written, informing letter be-
tween friends, and knowing you cannot
get something for nothing, should bring
to it every faculty. To compare notes
with an absent friend as to books read, |
pictures seen and people met, is an endu-
cation no girl can afford to neglect.

WORTH KNOWING

A few drops of turpentine in the stove
polish will prevent rust.
A teaspoonful of chloride OF lime in one
quart of water will remove mildew from
clothes.
Put salt in the water with which you
clean mattings and straw baskets.
When preserving, wash your jars in
strong soda water, especially if they have
been used before.
A piece of charcoal in the water in
which you put cut flowers will keep them
fresh much longer.
A good carpet cleaner can be made by
using half pound OF borax; half pound
OF washing soda, one 10 cent bar of good
white soap. Shave the soap in small
pieces and boil all together.

WHERE MOTHERS VOTE

When Judge Ben Lindsey. of Colorado,
the highest authority in the United States
on juvenile courts, was asked what effect
the influence OF voting constituency Of
mothers had in the success of the juve.
nile court system ofColorado, he replied:
1.-The juvenile court of Denver has al
ways had back of it the support f>the
women and whatever successes it may be
credited with is largely, if not entirely
due to their efforts.
''The results of woman suffrage in Col
orado have been so satisfactory that it is
hard to understand how it encounters op-
position in other states. / have never
observed one evil as the result of woman's
suffrage.
ave have in Colorado the most ad-
vanced laws OF any state in the union for
the care and protection of the home and
the children, the very foundation of the
Republic. These laws in my opinion,
would not efst at this time, if it were
not for the powerful influence of woman's
suffrage which at all times, has been
back of them and those who have con-
scientiously and faithfully administered
them.
Il know that the politicians in both
parties reckon seriously with the woman
vote and | know that men of immoral
character have been refused places upon
party tickets because of the fear inspired
by the woman vote.
eve believe we have the best juvenile
law, the best child Labor law, the best
compulsory education law, the best laws
for the prevention of cruelty to children
and the enforcement OF the obligations Of
fathers to support wife and child, and
the best administration of these laws of
any city of the union"
In view of the fact that every ire
sponsible, unreliable and malicious can
ard OF the failure of woman suffrage in
Colorado is seized upon to their predic-
tions by opponents of political power for
women, the testimony of man like
Judge Lindsey, an acknowledged expert
in child saving, will be of value to those
who want the truth in regard to woman
suffrage in practice. Progress.
